I dined here with family after church recently. They quoted us an hour and a half wait for a table of 8 but it only took about 30 or 40 mins for us to get a table. The service was ok, not bad. The complimentary croissants were amazing and I ate far too many of them. I had to stop myself from taking some to go. They were fresh out of the oven and super soft but a tad bit flaky with delicious melted honey butter. Everyone seemed to enjoy their food. I had the salmon plate and the salmon was very flavorful with a nice well seasoned crisp around it. The broccoli was steamed but still crispy, perfect. My house salad was also great. They had my fave kind of ranch dressing. Others had chicken alfredo, blackened fish, spasagna (a spaghetti/lasagna combo) and I believe one of the kiddos had buttered noodles as part of his kids plate. There were a few minor complaints about things I don't even remember but overall everyone seemed to enjoy their food. My dad raved about their fish, his go-to dish whenever he's at Cheddar's. Although my salmon was pretty perfect, I had slight plate envy of my Dad's fish. I also tried a bit of his green beans and they were really good. I'll definitely be getting those next time. A usual spot for the fam, I'm sure I'll be back and I look forward to returning. read more

We love coming to cheddars ! It is unfortunately a hit or miss when it comes to service and food preparation times but they are extremely busy, so we try to be understanding. I recommend coming during lunch for best service. My family loves getting the steaks and salads and 8/10 times it's great ! read more

We had Kaitlyn as our sever and she was amazing! Me and my boyfriend went if for a quick bite, and as a young couple we never get great service but she was the exception. As servers ourselves we saw how busy she was but still made time to get things out efficiently and make sure everything from appetizers to dessert were perfect. read more

food was lousy, waitress was bad. she stole money from us cause we made a mistake thinking a 50 was a 20, we complained to manager who just blew us off, will never go back there again, n will tell everyone in our family not to go either!! read more

Food was alright nothing special, it reminded me of a Chilis or Applebees, I personally would have never went there in the first place other than we met a sales guy here. Service was good, she did mess up a couple of times but very nice and fixed the issues read more

This was our first visit to cheddars as well as our 21st wedding anniversary. Our server, Mauricia T. was amazing! Food was cooked well and beautifully presented. The honey butter croissants were a welcomed bonus. The monster cookie dessert was nothing short of amazing. read more

Here for my daughter's birthday, Forst time on a Friday at 6:00 pm. Noisy, very noisy! Screeching kids and loud conversation! We ordered our drinks and the waitress brought us the honey butter croissants! they were very tasty! We ordered shortly thereafter; meatloaf with carrots and green beans, chicken (three different styles, and a mix of vegetables) and chicken pot pie. We had water , Dr Pepper, and ice tea for beverages. Our meals were delivered after a bit of a wait, but not too bad. The food was delicious, plentiful, and hot. We actually needed three doggy boxes! I'd have ordered the Monte Cristo but I got dirty looks as I'm a diabetic... maybe next time on my birthday. BTW, our waitress was pleasant and attentive! read more

We ordered our food and received it before we realized that there were flies all over the dining area we were seated in. I could not enjoy my meal for thinking about all the flies in their preparation area in the kitchen. read more

This place is definitely ran to the ground, I don't recommend anyone go there please save your money and go elsewhere PLEASE. I have a food allergy and specifically told them to not add the certain food well I was eating the salad when I found it in my food ... and the desert was rock solid, we ordered a cookie and the waitress said they no longer warm up their deserts that they are pre made. I had to send it back there was no way of eating it. read more

mariah is a TERRIBLE server, we waited forever for our food and she didn't listen to what we said.

Ivonne provided me an excellent Service !! Thank you so Much!! I will be back!! I couldn't add the review at the restaurant!!

We ate here tonight and it was so good! We ordered spinach dip,shrimp alfredo pasta and Cajun pasta..all the food was great! Our waitress was awesome. They were low in staff and we ate at a booth in the bar area. She was working both the bar and booths. I did not get her name but I hope manager sees this and she is recognized because she was going around making sure both bar and booth patrons had what they needed and she was very nice and helpful with the food suggestions. read more

It was great!!!!! I had awesome shrimp and the broccoli casserole. Quite the trip!

I ordered the lemon pepper chicken with broccoli cheese casserole and baked potato. I also added the house salad. My friend has the salmon with rice and broccoli. She also has a house salad. The salads were made with fresh ingredients and were brought out promptly after we ordered. Out entrees we're perfect and flavorful. Will eat there again. read more

My burger was so soggy that I had to use my phone plate to eat the rest of my meal. My companion got the Cajun pasta. It was not Cajun at all; it was a tomato sauce pasta with no Cajun taste whatsoever. Really underwhelming. read more

Every time I have come here, it was not because I really wanted to. The one awesome thing about Cheddar's is the huge fish tank they have in the restaurant which always makes me smile. Every time I've been there, the wait time has been ridiculous. There is really nothing special about the menu to me, it's like your average American restaurant. The food is alright - I don't know why the wait is so long. read more

Love love love this place. Odessa has a lot to offer if you look for it! Great food every time I have been. Definitely going back again and again. Busy at times, but so worth the wait. read more

Waited 30 minutes for our painkiller after waiting 30 minutes to get seated. Our waitress had 3 tables so she wasn't busy. My steak was supposed to be medium and came out well done. Service was bad and the food not great. Very disappointed and don't think I will be back anytime soon. read more

Blaring music. Refused to turn music down. Manager said they could not turn music down. We won't be back.

Ask for the waitress named Cookie!! She is very sweet, pun intended . She takes her time, gives food recommendations, and keeps your drinks filled. Also, the manager is very interested in checking in with all customers. He is very caring of his staff and works along side with them. What a great model of work expectations he shows everyone. I have been here 2 weekends in a row due to this service and the food was great each time! Only place in town to get a Monte Cristo so yummy! read more

It was the worst Food I've had in I can't remember when, DO NOT order chicken fried steak it's some sort of mystery meat and the cook burns it so you can't tell. The service is good but what does that matter when you cannot eat their food! read more

Cheddars is usually our first choice to eat out on Sunday's solemnly because of its delicious food. We have never had any issues with the food or deserts. The only problem we usually come across is the long wait time. It is understandable though because of the large number of people that come from out of town due to its high demand of work. Odessa gets pretty crowded in all restaurants when it's booming not just Cheddar's. That's why I will still give it 5 stars because unlike other reviews I read we understand that. Can they do a better job at cutting wait time?, quite possibly, but like I said before it's understandable. I would highly recommend anyone wanting a nice place to eat with delicious food. You won't be disappointed. read more

I'm quite dissatisfied.. this is the second time Cheddar's has made my stomach so sick I threw up and all I ate was the chips and queso, (they had run out of their homemade chips so they used some other type of chips??) corn off the cob, lemonade, and french fries. The first time I got sick I just blamed it on a stomach bug but now I see that is not the case. In Cheddar's defense though, the corn off the cob is to die for. When we arrived, our server forgot to bring us bread, silverware, and delivered the wrong drink. I really want to like this restaurant, but I just can't risk going back due to me getting sick twice. read more

Awesome food and mixed drinks. Atmosphere is is inviting and service is great. Prices very reasonable. I always love going there. Let's not forget their rolls are delicious with the sweet glaze on top. They literally melt in your mouth. read more

The food was terrible. Service was lacking. They were out of everything we tried to order and had to change our minds three times. The server even started suggesting other restaurants to us. We ordered the creamy spinach dip as an appetizer and what we got was spinach with a little bit of cheese on it. They got our streaks wrong and different sizes cooked incorrectly. My wife's was a 8 oz well done and mine was 6 oz medium and they reversed it. The server then took the medium rare steak to the back and brought us back the same steak just cooked longer to be well done. By far the worst experience we have had. And to top it all off the place wasn't even busy. I'm gonna have to pass next time someone says to come eat at cheddars crap kitchen. read more

The host had us sitting in the car for 45 minutes, as we watched multiple people come in. We finally got seated and saw those multiple people who arrived after us halfway thru their drinks. Even better the host sat us and after waiting 10 minutes for a server we asked who would be waiting on us. The waitress finally came and had no idea we were assigned to her. Not her fault. But the host and management could get a grip read more

Amazing!! food was of course great as always but today was just the best time we had so far. Coming from some one who goes here a lot. Michelle D was our survivor during a lunch rush they got backed up but she stayed on it n let us know about it and kept checking on us and was on top of our refills. Just a sweet lady made the wait for the food well worth it will of course as always be back again n hopefully she will be there n can be our survivor again. read more

Was looking forward to a good Cheddars' experience as I have had in other cities. I should have read reviews first... restaurant was hot (AC not on or working), had a less than clean feel (maybe because of the temperature)... sat at the bar, said hello to the tender, tender proceeded to carry on a several minute chat with another associate... they had what appeared to be a fun time laughing and carrying on while sat waiting for so much as a glass of water... then they both left... I waited another couple minutes and figured the bar must not be open and no one cared to let me know... got up, walked past three other associates... no one said a word so I left. read more

Very nice waitress and my food was nice and hot and flavorful.Mauricia had great people skill!

Cheddars scratch kitchen ? more like cheddars TRASH kitchen. My family walked in and the host were super sweet , and helpful. heard a server yelling at the people in the back that it was nasty to grab the salads with their HANDS. NEVER COMING BACK. this was back in december, just got yelp so i'm leaving it now. read more

Food was good, had to send my French fries back because they weren't fresh, service was fair. So glad restaurants are opening up again. Felt safe , good Covid practice, all and all a good experience. read more

This place is a very good and highly interesting place. I have to say that when I stepped inside, I did not imagine that this would be the style and layout of the place, it is well thought and sought into. I love the design of the ceiling fans, the bar area is also neat. The waiting staff is more than enough to handle the place, which is rare to see in Odessa, most places are understaffed. The waiters here are nice and have good customer service. Food is excellent, I have been here three times now, and I am most definitely returning for more. I am rather shocked that this placed is not rated yet, because it is always a full house when I go there!! I guess it is to keep it a hidden secret in Odessa! read more

Just left cheddars with my family. Service took a very long time we arrived at 1:45 and it is now 3:20. After the long wait our food arrived and two plates had HAIR!!! The first was caught fast so thankfully she didn't eat from it but the second time the hair was in our family members mouth!! Disgusting!! All they could offer was free appetizer vouchers!!! No one wants your vouchers if we aren't going back again. Our ticket should of been covered complete as no one was able to continue eating after all the damm hair. We lost our appetite and decided to leave read more
