    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!

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

    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.

    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

    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.

    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

    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!

    Grilled Salmon

    I've been to Cheddars a few times and although the quality is not top-of-the-line, they always serve a great meal for the price. This is one of the most affordable dining experiences for what you get--a versatile menu, great meal, classy aesthetic, and good service. The complimentary honey butter rolls are the best part I've heard--I sadly was not hungry enough for mine. The salmon was slightly over cooked in my opinion, but blackened well. The sweet cooked carrots were my favorite part! Broccoli was well cooked as well. Overall a very balanced meal, and just what I was looking for and expecting. I would definitely come back for a lunch, and will be sure to try to rolls!

    Garett is the most polite waiter. I wish I could give him a bigger tip but I didn't have a lot of money. Always ask for Garett.

    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.

    This place is very unassuming from the street. The dining room and bar are bright, open and sleek…read morewith lots of TVs. Definitely a great spot to watch sports. The bartender/server was very friendly. My friend and I were have a conversation and didn't look at the menu much, he kept checking on us until we were ready to order. I got the Goose's Burger with tots. The burger was cooked well and had grilled tomatoes, grilled onions and a mango habanero sauce. The sauce wasn't too spicy and added a lot to the burger. It was a bit messy, but I scarfed it down. Tots were nice a crispy. The place wasn't very busy so I was a little skeptical whether it was going to be good, but I was pleasantly surprised. The rest of the menu looked good, I will be coming back to try the pork tenderloin sandwich!

    A few things that I always miss when not in NE- Family, Friends, Food & Football!…read more If you're lucky enough to live in the Papillion/Omaha NE area, you can meet some of the BEST people I have been blessed to know, and support their veteran, family owned bar and grill! These people, and this place have my heart. When my (bio) Dad passed suddenly and unexpectedly a few months ago, I was scrambling to find a place to host a gathering after his service. He was an Omaha native, a Navy veteran, and an avid Harley rider that maintained a variety of lifelong friends. How many, I had no clue. How many would see the notice and attend, I had no clue. Yet when I called Goose's Bar & Grill and spoke to Nathan and his Manager- the reply was short, sweet and put every ounce of my anxiety to rest, "We've got you" - and THEY DID!!! No questions, just the most perfect suggestions. They opened doors, brought in extra staff that accommodated and served us with the warmest welcome and comfort food you could image. (Oh, and the kicker?! - of course this all took place during the busiest week for all of the Main Street Papillion businesses- "Papillion Days" - still, they made it happen for me. I will forever be grateful. If there's one thing I could ask that you do for me, please stop in and support them. I have no doubt you'll love everything about this place just as much as we do!

    Nice unexpected ...just popped and was pleasantly surprised. Nice and welcoming environment…read more Food was excellent

    Service Communication…read more Food Valentine's Day...of course they are packed! No worries. They inform us the kitchen is behind and may be a slight wait for our reservation. No worries! Seated within 15 minutes so not bad at all. Place is packed. Tables that were seated after us have a server. Hmmm. About 10 minutes after being seated our server shows up. Very nice but hurried. The other tables were asked if it was their first time; talked about the menu for the evening etc. again, not a huge deal. Drinks were great..an old fashioned and a black Manhattan. I'm assuming it was a manager who came over and apologized for the delay in getting our dinners. Again, we let them know we were not in a hurry. We get the craziness of Valentine's Day. But let's get to the food...did they remove all the seasoning from the kitchen??? Our Brussels sprouts were undercooked and little to no flavor. The steaks had absolutely no seasoning and the mashed were like paste. We had to ask for salt and pepper. Why can't they just put it on the table? My prime rib was blood rare which I talked to the server about before I ordered and said I would like medium and he said they could. Oh and no horseradish sauce like it said on the menu. The saving grace was I had the French onion soup which was terrific. Like I said, knowing how crazy it is on Valentine's Day, we expected a wait. But after waiting quite a long time for our food, I think they could've made sure it was cooked and seasoned properly.
