Homestyle Meatloaf
Brett G.

Really happy we decided to give Cheddars another try. Had an amazing rockstar server Shelley. Really took care of us even during the busy dinner time. Tried some new entrees in the meatloaf and smokehouse burger. The meatloaf was very good but definitely recommend the gravy on the side (very salty). Burger hit some great notes, especially the caramelized onions and smokey bacon. The kids meals are really great value. Huge portions for the kids and includes a drink. The place itself is always very clean. Did get a little louder as the meal progressed, but that was to be expected. Overall, really happy with our experience and highly recommend you ask for Shelley! Great Job!

Roll and Side Caesar Salad

Was seated fast during dinner rush and was able to get a quiet cozy corner booth. The food came out fast and met expectations!

Top Sirloin Steak & Chicken Tenders Grilled White Fish
Samantha L.

Drinks and food are always good service was attentive and friendly! I think this place is always a go to when we want to eat somewhere not too expensive but not fast food and can still find healthy options!

My mom and I came here for lunch as she was craving the monte cristo sandwich. I haven't been since my last year, about 5 years ago. I opted for the salmon dish and very very impressed. It was very tender, filling and flavorful. We also had the spinch dip app. They gave a hearty amount of dip and salsa. My moms monte cristo really hit the spot. Our server was attentive and quick. It was a nice lunch with great food in a clean and fun environment.

Beer-Battered Shrimp Platter
Charrise L.

First time to this place. Very popular as many people were out on Saturday night. Extensive drink and food selection. A little bit of everything. The complimentary Honey Butter Croissants were to die for!!! Hot, fresh and delicious. 2 people ordered the Sirloin Steak. One was perfect. The other was ordered medium rare, which it was on the inside but it was charred so badly that all you could taste was the char. Not so good. I had the Battered Shrimp with Loaded Baked Potato and Broccoli & Cheese Casserole. Yum!! Margaritas were big and plentiful. Ok, bye.

Cajun chicken bowl. Decent
Chad W.

Well came to cheddars for lunch yesterday. Now I'm not a Chain restaurant person very often. Plus not a big American comfort food person either. Service was decent considering they were very busy. I got a Cajun chicken bowl. The red beans and rice were fine but nothing about it was outstanding or blew me away. Probably won't be back lol. But nothing against Cheddars at all as people seemed to love it. Just not my cup of tea I guess.

Blackened Creamy Garlic Tilapia & Shrimp, Alfredo on the side
Rose P.

We love coming here! The atmosphere is nice, it's calming mood lighting with the cutest fish tank. The staff is nice! The menu is the perfect size, with still plenty to choose from. And you can't beat these prices!! The chicken strips are always huge and crispy. The sides are all amazing, it's hard to choose only two! Also they have the best ranch.

This was my first visit to a Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen. Prior to visiting I had called to see if it was possible to get reservations and advised just to call ahead of time for a group of seven that would be coming in for lunch. Complementary parking is available right outside the restaurant Upon arrival we were instructed to stand until at least half of our party arrived, which would be another 10 minutes as we were so early. I have to admit this was a little frustrating as a restaurant was empty on Monday morning and did not make for a good first impression. We were fortunate enough to get a large table in the back corner of the restaurant, as the acoustics quickly deteriorated as the lunch crowd arrived. Could not imagine, sitting in the middle of the restaurant, and try to carry on a conversation. Our server was awesome, patiently explaining the menu and attentively catering to our special requests. The menu is varied to cater to all tastes. Food was prepared very well and I found the salad with salmon delicious. All the entrées served were fresh and quality. Recommend this location for a nice lunch or dinner destination. A full bar is available.

Bacon cheeseburger and fries
Tozh L.

Nice and clean. It was pretty packed on a Wednesday but my friend and I were seated within 5/10 minutes. Last time I came here it was just "ok" I actually only came because a friend of mine invited me and I wasn't paying (lol) BUT to my surprise they have definitely improved the quality of their meals. I wasn't expecting anything amazing so I just ordered a bacon Cheeseburger and fries AND OMG!! It was sooooo darn GOOD!! Lol. my only con was that our waitress kept walking past us taking everyone else's order before she got to my friend and I. We had to actually say something to her but other than that the food was REALLY GOOD!!

The bustling interior
Sara C.

Cheddar's is our normal spot we stop into for a bite when we're doing a Sam's Club run. It's been consistently good for us, feels a bit upscale even though it's on the more affordable side, and the staff is superb and always cheery and helpful! On our last visit, we had Victor as our server, and he was so pleasant and attentive, even on the busy Sunday we were there. We let the manager know how great Victor was and we heard them clapping for him in the back, which made me glad to know those little compliments don't go unheard :-) Each meal always starts with some fluffy warm croissants that are covered in drizzles of honey butter glaze. These are like a dessert almost, the honey butter is so good! You get two complimentary croissants, but you can also purchase two more for $2 in the appetizers menu, if you want more. Speaking of apps, our favorite is the Wisconsin Cheese Curds, which come with a house made ranch sauce for dipping. They are so incredibly tasty with their slight crunch and the creamy ranch adding a nice tang to each bite. I've had many cheese curds around town, and the thing I like about Cheddars' is they are not gigantic and impossible to eat in bite-size morsels. For entrees I usually get either the Monte Cristo sandwich (which comes in a fried little shell) or the salmon with bourbon glaze (and I ask for extra sides of the bourbon sauce - it's that good!) The salmon comes atop a bed of rice and you're able to choose two sides. My favorite of the side items are the broccoli cheese casserole and the buttered off-the-cob corn. I add my corn onto my plate, and it mixes with the rice a little and creates a new little divine concoction! My husband's favorite entree is the Caesar Pasta Salad, which is a normal Caesar salad, expertly dressed, and has lemony grilled chicken, but the difference between Cheddar's and other Caesar salads, is that this one also has pasta weaved throughout it! I don't know what genius thought this up, but it just works and you can't even convince yourself you really know why. Even though Cheddar's is a "chain" restaurant, the quality does not suffer for it, and you feel right at home with how welcoming and cheerful the staff are. If you're looking for a restaurant that's laid back but a little more upscale feeling, and super delicious but very affordable, definitely give Cheddar's a try!

Meatloaf?
Kevin G.

Dining in is okay, but I had a bad experience with online ordering. They didn't send me a text saying order was ready, so food just sat there till I finally went inside. Didn't even get a "sorry". Hope it was a one off. Meatloaf was nearly dried

Do they have call ahead seating?

Unsure. They will have a nice table for you when you go in..

How are the gluten free options here?

They have limited options there but the chefs are always willing to make some adjustments to dishes if you ask the server.

Food (9/10) - I order country/chicken fried steak with mash potatoes with white gravy sauce, fried…read moreonion rings, a muffin, a free pecan pie, and a sweet raspberry ice tea. From a price to food ratio I would also give 5 stars as this meal easily can fill a grown man for 2 meals (My wallet is crying with tears of joy). Country fried steak was cooked to perfection, however because the white sauce was on it, the crunchy fried breading became slightly soggy over time (kinda like cereal sitting in milk over time). I would suggest getting gravy on the side so you can have both textures as you eat. The mash potatoes were solid... not the best in the world, not the worst in the world, if your a fan of mash potatoes it hits the spot on a cold day. Fried onion rings were super crunchy and breaded well so each bite had 65% breading crunch and 35% onion. Would get these onion rings over Texas Roadhouse onion bloom/cactus blossom (which I had the day before) as they had a 70% onion to 30% breading (so each time you grabbed onions the breading fell off. The cupcake was a dark horse (tasted like a sweet, crumbly cake with sugar lightly soaked in a sweet nectar that was experience in every bite. I highly recommend this). Pecan pie... I'm too stuffed, so I'll defer on my honest review on the pecan pie. Finally, the raspberry icetea was diabetically sweet, like it should be. If you want it less sweet, just ask for a water on the side and add water until it's your ideal sweetness. Note: I was nervous at first since there were so many bad reviews, but was pleasantly surprised. Service (9/10) - My server, Jacklyn, was sociable/professional and gave her own personal recommendations to our party. I asked her, "Do you eat here normally?" She said yes, so I took up her up on the offer and requested that she to order what she would normally eat. Side Note: It's a good sign when the workers eat the restaurant food regularly and have great taste. Ambiance (9/10) - The service overall was warm and homey that reminded me of southern Texas hospitality. There was about 8-10 parties eating when we can to dinner rush hour, and there was plenty of seating with minimal wait (the main wait was for the freshly made food that took an appropriate amount of time to cook/serve). Final Thoughts - Go on Wednesday as they have free pies if you get a entree + drink (excludes children) and thepies are half off on Wednesday. I'll be coming back again.

The good vibes started right away when we were instantly greeted with an "Aloha" from one of the servers, who ended up being ours for the night! He was so upbeat, attentive, and kind. We truly hope to have him again next time we visit. For drinks, my husband ordered the Lonebirch Cabernet and loved it. Such a great bottle of wine. I ordered the Bibimbap, which is my go-to every time we come here, and it was absolutely delicious as always. I love all the vegetables it comes with, and once it's all stirred together with the rice, every bite is packed with flavor. Perfection. My husband tried something new, the Steak + Frites and completely devoured it. He said the steak was delicious and the fries were perfectly crispy. You could tell everything was fresh. Another big shoutout to our waiter for taking such great care of us. We'll definitely be back!

I got the Bibimbop, which was not my personal favorite. This is 100% due to the fact that I don't typically like the flavor of the gojuchang sauce it comes with (I totally forgot this when I ordered). Luckily both the sauce, and the kimchi are served on the side, as I don't enjoy either. This is just my personal taste, not this restaurant recipe. Otherwise, this meal was great! The salmon and shrimp were cooked very well, as was the fried egg on top. There were more veggies than I expected, which was nice! It was odd to me personally eating raw vegetables, like cucumber, cabbage, and carrots out of a hot stone bowl, But I think this will be much better for those who enjoy the flavor of this sauce when you pour it over! The other dishes, I saw my friends order, looked amazing. I would definitely come back to this place, but try a different dish next time!

I had a very disappointing and concerning experience at this restaurant. I ordered a margarita with…read moreno salt, but it was brought out with a salted rim, and I can see that salt dripped into the drink. I asked for it to be remade. What happened next was unacceptable. I watched the waitress take the drink back to the bar, where the bartender (with his hair parted in the middle) poured the margarita out of and over the salted rim, into a different glass instead of making a new one. That same drink was then brought back to me. This isn't just poor service, it's a serious health and safety concern for me. There is a reason I asked for no salt. Rather than admitting a mistake and correcting it properly, they chose to cut corners and hope I wouldn't notice. If I hadn't seen it happen, I would have unknowingly consumed something I specifically asked to avoid. There were other issues during the visit, but this alone is enough to ensure I won't be returning. Trust is critical when dining out, and unfortunately, this experience showed that it's lacking here.

Finally checked out Charleston's with the husband. Our kids were with their grandparents so we…read moredecided to enjoy a happy hour dinner at the bar. We didnt know what to expect as we have never been to a Charleston's. It was nice, clean, and fancier than I thought it would be. The bartender was friendly and attentive and we were served right away. They have really good happy hour drink deals. 8 diff cocktails all $8 each. I got the crisp martini and my husband got the old fashioned. Both were good but the old fashioned was a little too sweet. For our appetizer we got the shrimp carrot which was super buttery and cheesy. We also split the flat iron steak special. We ordered it medium rare and it was more of a medium well. It was on the salty side and the steak had the same texture as ham or like a school lunch meat....something about it reminded me of a jerky too. It was interesting and didnt taste bad but unlike any steak texture I've ever had. It cost $29 so wasn't expensive for a steak but I guess we should've gone next door to Mahogany Prime if we wanted good steak or even Texas Roadhouse up the way. Even though we were disappointed with the steak we still had a great time. Will def come back and try a salad or the chicken piccata. Based on the steak, I would give the review a 3 but bc everything else was great, leaving it at a 4 bc I think we just ordered the wrong thing.

72 Table & Tap - Crab Rangoon Dip

72 Table & Tap

We visited 72 Table and Tap in Ralston during Omaha Restaurant Week (always a great time to try out…read morea new place). They definitely had a "bar" vibe, with the bar at the center of everything, darts, a claw machine, and Golden Tee. Aside from that, it's a pretty "boxy" layout, but clean overall. The food we had was actually pretty good, though! We started with the Crab Rangoon Dip and Bacon Cheddar Donuts. Both were super tasty, with the dip having a sweet chili sauce on it to cut the heaviness, and the cheddar donuts almost being like fried balls of mashed potatoes. Yummmm, My husband and I got two different entrees. I had the normal cheeseburger, and it came with the cute "72" branded on the bun. I am a sucker for good branding, so loved that. It was just a basic burger, but cooked the way I like it, as if it was made on the grill at a back yard party. He had the Honey Habanero Chicken Sandwich and LOVED it. I had a bite and it was sweet and spicy at the same time - a great flavor combo. For dessert, we shared the Cinnamon Sugar Donut Holes, and they were very sweet, with a white icing for dipping, like usually comes on a cinnamon roll. They were tasty, but we were so full at this point, we didn't really get to eat too many of these, just a nibble! I would say as long as you go in knowing this is not fine dining, and are ok with the bar type ambiance, then 72 Table and Tap is a good place to eat or catch a game on their TVs.

Updating my review since I came here with a group of eight…read more It was easy to get a reservation, and we probably didn't even need one, on the Saturday night we came in around 7. Our server did a great job, no mistakes, and we all got what we ordered quickly. Our dishes were delicious! Personally, I wish my baked scampi had come out as soon as it was done, as the oil and cheese had separated by the time I got it. Otherwise, it tasted great. The bread was nothing special, it would've been a fantastic meal if the side of garlic bread was truly delicious enough to eat it all. Overall, this is a pretty cheap place to get a decent meal. The vibes are good, and the drinks are cheap-- I especially appreciate that you can get cocktails by the picture, this is so rare!! I would definitely come back again for a casual dinner, especially when trying to get a place for a group.
