Let me just start by saying the food is good and fresh. So fresh that there was a chicken bone in my husband's tortilla soup. When the waiter finally checked on us after we had finished eating, my husband told him about the bone. Fortunately he didn't break a tooth or swallow it. The waiter responded with a "well that's what you get when you have freshly prepared food". Um no. Not to mention he got our order wrong. I would rather eat somewhere with decent food without the attitude. Thanks. read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Chicken bone found in soup - Comfort Food Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

This place has a ton of work to do to even get 1 star! Went here on Sunday evening, October 23rd. I place this date so maybe management can address all the problems the place was experiencing on our first (and probably last) visit. Was told wait would be 20-25 min. Turned out to be 45-50! I am normally not this picky. However, this wait time could have been cut in half because dirty dishes where every where on tables for very bit of 10-15 min before they where cleared after parties had departed. After the bartender sees that we have been sitting there with our two children for a long time, she goes up to front and asks about our table (only competent person working at Cheddar's). A very snooty young gal took us to our booth, which had not been wiped off yet from prior party. She proceeded to take a dry wash cloth and simply push everything onto the seats. Pretty disgusting if you ask me. When our server FINALLY came over we told her and she at least wiped table down with a damp cloth. We ordered. Now, I have not worked in the restaurant business. But you could so obviously see how bad these people were trained. This is not a joke, we ordered, the food was at our table in less than 3 min, and then the salads come out 5-10 min later! What kills me about this, is not that they came out in exactly the wrong order, but the entrees where COLD! How can this be? I could see this place was so poorly run that I did not even bother trying to flag down the waitress/server to inform them. It would have turned into another big wait and results would have been the same. What I noticed and more importantly heard was everyone (Cheddar's employees) saying "I am sorry", "that shouldn't have happened", "I am sorry", over and over. I will close by simply saying the manager on duty on the above listed date was lost, ineffective and frankly looked so lost it is sad. He the biggest reason the place was performing the way it was. All he did was stand in the front of the restaurant and have this lost look on his face while he tried to help sit people. Not once did he walk over to any table and see how the patrons where doing, asked how service/food was, let alone try and address problems that at least 50% of every table had. Pretty bad showing Cheddar's. read more

For me, going out to eat with my family is more than just finding a place that serves decent food. I want a place where we can enjoy good conversation as well as a good meal without having to deal with frustrations of a lengthy wait or really loud surroundings. Cheddars, although certainly offering many economical food options, fell way short of my expectation of the overall experience. I really liked the building and the decor as it was nice and inviting. The staff was polite and pleasant, and was handling the crowd (25 minute wait at 4:30 Saturday afternoon) fairly weil. They really need a better waiting area though. There were many adults with small children standing and getting in the way of both wait staff and hosts. Service was prompt and efficient, but the noise level in this building was very high, making it necessary to speak very loudly when ordering. We ordered the sampler appetizer (nachos, potato skins, mozzarella cheese sticks), and it was average at best. Nothing could be said that would make it stand out from anything you could throw together on your own. The entree's that were ordered were grilled chicken alfredo, 12 oz. Ribeye steak, and chicken fried steak. The alfredo was described as pretty good, while the ribeye was cooked well but had too much pepper in the seasoning. The low point was definitely the chicken fried steak, hard fried shell of a crust that encased a very tuff and unseasoned piece of meat. Less than half was eaten, and it wasn't worth taking the rest home. There are too many places with no wait, comparable service, and better food, that are a good value, to make me want to come back any time soon. read more

We have always enjoyed Cheddar's, and Garrett, tonight's server, was fabulous. The food is great and very affordable, the drinks (we like the famous "Pain Killer") are awesome. It's another great experience! read more

I've already gone here twice since they opened a couple weeks ago! The decor of the restaurant from the inside out looks really nice and surprisingly the food is very well priced!! Pretty much a bargain for the quality and portions! The first time I went I got the Chicken ciabatta sandwich, which has avocado and tomatoes with some kind of special sauce on ciabatta bread. It also came with one side of my choice (there are about 8 different sides to choose from) I got the broccoli casserole, which was baked broccoli with cheese and rice. It was pretty good! The sandwich was also delicious. My sister got the chicken pot pie, which I had a bite of and for 6.95 it was a pretty big portion. The second time I went I got the honey dijon chicken, which is grilled chicken with a sweet honey dijon sauce and then mushrooms on the side. This dish also came with 2 sides and I got the broccoli casserole again and the sweet baby carrots (really good!!!). Have never really had carrots made this way and was pleasantly surprised. The sauce was a little on the sweet side but I still enjoyed my dish and had plenty to take home for lunch the next day! We also got the baked cookie with the ice cream for dessert, I was kind of disappointed in this. The cookie was a little hard and the chocolate fudge cake, which was the same price looked way bigger and appetizing...Also this visit the server was really slow and would only come to our table maybe every 30 min...We ended up staying 2hrs for our whole meal because we were always waiting for the server!! read more

I have been to this location a few times and always had a fine experience, often forgettable though. For "chain" food, they do it pretty well. The onion rings are tasty and the prices are pretty inexpensive for the large dishes. The menu is pretty versatile and not overwhelming with too many options. One thing that really bothers me that I forget is how high the tables at the booths are. They are seriously above your chin - maybe so people can shovel food into their mouths?! If you're petite like me, it's uncomfortable - sit at a table! The server we had recently was kind enough and accommodating when the runners forgot our soups and a salad. read more

Service was terrible. The food was good. I came in for lunch. The place was packed. I waited at the hostess booth for someone to help me. Two employees walked past without a word. There were now people waiting behind me as well. The third employee walked over to the hostess station and stood there looking down the hall for a moment. I stared at her waiting for some sort of acknowledgement. After a few more minutes she looked at me and gave an awkward "hi". I asked if I could look in the bar for seating since they were so busy. She said yes there should be some high tops available. She grabbed a menu and followed me into the bar area. I asked if I could sit in the open booth. She said no because she just sat that section and couldn't triple seat it for the same server. I was greeted shortly after for my drink order. I ordered a water. It took her ten minutes to bring the water. When she came back to take my order I was already annoyed with this place. That hostess that told me I couldnt sit in the booth..well apparently the booth and the hightop are all the same server section. The booth got seated a few minutes after I did. We all have the same waitress. It is also overwhelmingly loud! I tried to order a lunch combo but they could not exclude the ham from my sandwich so I decided to choose something else. I ended up ordering the jalapeño burger with fries and a side Cesar salad. She asked if I wanted the salad before and I said yes please. Another 15 minutes goes by and my food comes out. Salad burger and fries all at the same time. I ate the salad first. Who eats a salad after a burger? By then my fries were cold. So I didn't really even eat them. Even though they charge you addional if you add a side to the burger. The food was good. But I won't be coming back. read more

I'm kind of disappointed in Cheddar's. Came and, got the baked spaghetti and it was hard and bland. I normally love their food and, been here many times but this time wasn't my favorite read more

I really want to like this restaurant, but they keep giving me reasons to not return! Our first time we were there was to sit down. The second was carry out. Both times the food was great but almost every order was wrong-wrong sides, no sides, no cheese on the cheeseburger, including items we specifically asked to be left out. The chicken is delicious, the decor very nice, and the prices are great. I'm just not sure whether the staffing issues are with the kitchen or the servers. read more

My mother suggested this place as we were in the area and she had been here before and enjoyed it. I wasn't super excited as I am typically not a fan of chain eateries and on the outside this looked like it could be the most offensive one to date We walked in and it was very busy, but we were seated immediately. When we left later we fought through a massive sea of bodies waiting on this early Saturday evening. Thought about ordering the ribs as they were inexpensive, but I have learned that lesson finally. We both went for the rib-eye steaks that were super inexpensive. Ordered a baked potato and corn to go a long with it. Service was pretty decent as our waitress made the needed number of trips to the table and was pleasant enough. She brought a second drink for me when my large glass wasn't even half empty. Thought maybe that was to prep me for the server not wanting to come back to the table. Wasn't the case though. The steaks came out and they were fine and cooked the way I requested and of Sizzler quality. The baked potato was not wrapped in foil and cooled down quickly. The shredded cheese on top never had an chance at melting and I would have liked to have butter on my table to apply rather than have them make that choice for me. The corn was listed as corn off the cob and I guess it all comes off the cob, but this was bad canned corn and not edible. One thing that surprised me was the decor of the place. I expected to walk in and have it be brightly lit everything, with tons of stuff from the junk yard hung up and cheesy slogans everywhere. It's a pretty decent atmosphere (they are cramming people into the place pretty close) but it's understated with a lot of wood and not a lot of distracting decorations. I don't know-there is a value to this place for your wallet and it certainly wasn't horrible and I wouldn't pitch a fit if someone wanted to go here-but I can't see making this choice over local establishments. read more

We went to Cheddars today for lunch. We were pleased because we were seated right away. It is not easy to find an open seat at 11:40 on a Sunday. Looking over the menu I was pleased with the selection and the prices. My two kids each ordered the 1/4 pound burger with fries, my wife ordered the soup and loaded potato, and I had the Sheppard's Pie. We each ordered a drink. We also ordered the onions rings. They looked very good. We ordered at 11:45. The waitress came over at 12:00 and said that the kitchen was slow today and that our order would be out soon. At 12:05 the manager came over and apologized for the order taking so long. At 12:10 our food had not arrived I stopped the manager and said that we still not had received our food. He apologized again and said he would go look to see what the wait is. The waitress came back to our table again and said, "I can't believe how long the kitchen is taking". "I will make the manager give you a free dessert". It was another 5 minutes before our food made it to the table. Our drinks were only refilled when we asked for it. My kid's hamburgers looked okay but they were served about 12 fries each. My wife "loaded" potato had cheese and butter on it. Not very loaded. The Sheppard's pie and french fries were very good. Overall, I am not sure what the problem was with the wait. The server tried to blame the kitchen but I believe it was her job to keep track of how long the food was taking to be brought out and the refills of the drinks are also her responsibility. Being a new restaurant, I am sure they are still working out some kinks but our orders were rather straightforward and not complicated. Our order came to $29 dollars. They did "comp" us for one of the kids' meals and the dessert. The atmosphere was nice. Restaurant was clean. The food had good flavor at a good price but the service made that a moot point. When we were leaving the waitress gave us her name said, "please come back again and ask for her. I am thinking not. Not sure if we will be back. Very disappointed. They really need to get "it" together. read more

If you strip away the high-end appearance of Cheddar's (think Charleston's with a fish tank), you get a place with moderately good food at pretty good prices. I get why this place is absolutely packed every time we've even entertained the idea of checking it out. We finally did so for the first time. Even at 8 on a Friday night, we had to wait 30 minutes. To their credit, the wait time was dead-on unlike some places in town. The menu had a pretty standard selection of sandwiches, burgers, salads, steaks, and some specialties. From what I gather, the drinks are one of the main attractions. After perusing the menu, you'll notice that the prices are good. For me though, the food was ok maybe even good but not great. I'd say its slighly better than an Applebee's but not enough for me to want to drive from my house in Bennington to Millard just to grab a bite. However, if I am in the area and have some time to kill, I'd probably drop by and enjoy an extra drink while not having to break the bank. read more

I went to my local Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen this evening with a group of four good pals! Upon receiving my chicken, I was thoroughly impressed with the girth of the tenders! In fact, the first thing I wanted to do with the finger instead of eating it was throw it at a small child during its first steps to see whether or not this "Girthy Girl" could knock that little guy over! and I think it could! And for that reason, we're giving this girth sanctuary a five out of five! May the lord be with you! read more

After everyone telling us to try cheddar's we finally gave it a go and loved it! I was surprised with the selection and good prices. I am used to chain restaurants having boring sides but cheddar's side dishes are almost as good as the main dish. They have a good drink menu too and they make them strong! The painkiller was so good, definitely recommend! read more

I was not sure what to expect knowing that cheddars is a chain. This place beats out applebees and chili's anyday! The decor makes you feel like you are at a classy restaurant! I had the buffalo chicken wrap. Delicious and huge! Came with 4 wrap parts! Was able to take half home for dinner and I am a big eater! Very reasonable prices! Will be back read more

Wait time is absolutely outrageous. They'll tell you 30 minutes and then you'll wait an hour. If you have a bigger party don't even think about being seated, they'll seat every other party before you. Would rather go to another restaurant instead of waiting an eternity to even take a seat at a dirty table. read more

Went here for a Saturday dinner with a small group (six people). Obviously crowded, quoted a 45-50 minute wait...seated in 20 minutes. Server came up immediately, took our drink/appetizer order. Got the onion rings. Spectacular. I ordered the grilled salmon with broccoli, red beans & rice, and the optional salad/honey butter croissant. All of our entrees arrived, but some of our side dishes were mixed up. Everything was corrected quickly, but my broccoli was not as fresh as it should've been. Otherwise, the food was pretty good. Service: pretty good...the kitchen staff could've gotten the combinations of entrees & side dishes correct. Prices: appropriate for the place Ambiance: understated elegance...like another reviewer said, looks like the inside of Abercrombie & Fitch. Will I be back? Sure. read more

Surprisingly really good food. Not sure I have ever been to a place this large and this full during lunch before, but with the amount of staff on hand service went off without a hitch. I assuming people are coming for the prices and staying because the food was excellent. This was my 2nd time here and each time I have a light fish dish that came out flaky and under $10. The only reason this isn't a 5 star review is that it is fairly noisy and feels a lot like a large chain and the menu is lacking a lot of creativity. They know what they're doing and they do it right. Great place for a business lunch. read more

This place is unreal! Not only is it an excellent value, but the portions are tremendous and the food is outstanding! I typically get the half rack of ribs and shrimp combo with a side salad and broccoli cheese casserole for my sides. AMAZING! The ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender! I've also had the Chicken and Waffles, delicous and hard to come by in Omaha NE. Other stand out menu items are the Dijon Chicken and Mushrooms, Salmon with Bourbon Glaze and DO NOT miss out on a warm croissant served with honey butter drizzle (served with any salad). This place is so fabulous, that I'd go there just for the drinks too! Not only are they reasonably priced, but creative and tasty! The Painkiller is can't miss, the Texas Tea, and Skinny Marg's are also delish! They even have an outstanding Strawberry Mango margarita that comes with a side car of Cactus Juice. These huge drinks served in stemmed globe glasses, will run you 3.99-6.50 apiece- a true bargaini! This place is always packed, but if you don't mind sitting at the bar, you can almost always get a spot. The bartenders are very attentive and friendly, and will serve food as well. Sparkling clean bathrooms to boot! read more

We recently visited Cheddars on a vacation to Omaha. Though we wereonly in town for a fewdays, we went back again before we left town. The food at Cheddars is amazing and such a great price! The onion rings and croissants with honey butter are a must and the entrées and desserts are also very well prepared. Rounding out our first experience was fantastic service from Heather that assured our return. Props to Heather for being prompt, offering great suggestions, and being very friendly ...and she remembered us and stopped to greet us on our return. We would definitely recommend Cheddars. read more

Friendly staff, got us seated quickly on a busy Saturday afternoon, by asking us if a high top table in the bar was OK, it was. A bit loud in the bar,if that's an issue for you The Chicken Fried Steak was only fair, the meat slid out of the envelope of breading, odd that it didn't adhere to the steak better. Mashed potatoes had sour cream in them- if you like them that way youll be pleased, I don't. Country gravy a bit bland for my taste Green beans were fresh tasting, good Waitress was very courteous, food arrived quickly. Wife had a Monte Cristo- a first for her, and it was all right , she said - but nothing to compare it to so we'll rate it OK . Prices seem reasonable, extensive menu, Ill try something else next time. read more

The Food is amazing, AND believe it or not... Prices are great!! I always saw this place and thought it would be super expensive until i ate there, first time i was shocked with the quality of the food for the price. Now i end up eating there with friends and family every time we get a chance. Highly Recommend it! read more

The food is actally really good but the wait time for it wasn't great. Took literally half an hour for my salad then later our dinner. The table behind us with MORE people came in after us and got their food way sooner then we did. It's a very dark restaurant but I like that about it. Wait staff was friendly, just the really slow service made this a 3 star instead of a 5. read more

This is a really nice restaraunt. There's a huge fish tank and other elegant decor. The service was fast and friendly, and the food was very tasty. I will definitely be back to try more of the menu. read more

Stopped in for lunch. Good prices for good food, waitress was extremely friendly and not overly attentive. She was at table at perfect timing, never realized when we needed anything. read more

This place is sometimes so hard to get into - I have only eaten here about 3 times. (I have attempted probably another 4 or 5 times but the wait was too long and I am not good about that). This was my second time eating in the bar - I heard comments of it being too loud and honestly I don't think it is any more loud than the main dining area. We had a great waiter who was a little playful and help to make our ordering go really easy. I enjoyed the sandwich that I got. The drink was well made but the service really made the meal very enjoyable for my friend and I. read more

It's always busy for a reason - the food is amazing. The service was friendly and super fast. We ordered Wisconsin cheese bites for an appetizer, and they were so fresh, crunchy, and made with amazing thick quality cheese. I will admit the whole driving force behind writing this review is that the marinara that comes with the cheese bites, is BEYOND delicious, hands down best marinara I've ever had in my life. Nowhere near soupy or runny, freshly chopped tomatoes and onions, with all the spices and garnishes. Everything on this scratch kitchens menu is satisfying, but the marinara really left it's mark for me! For my meal I got chicken pot pie, and potato soup which was equally delicious. read more

I have been here twice, neither has overly impressed me. Wife had coffee that was worse than anything I drank in the military. Their chicken tenders are the only thing I have had that I thought were good. Shrimp (grilled) were decent, but not any better than any of the cost comparable chains. Ribs were horrible. Red beans and rice...not sure how you mess this up, but they did. Beans were poorly seasoned mush. The staff was friendly though. Service was very good and kids loved the fish tank at the front. read more

Second time coming to this location. 1st time, I came on a weekday around 4pm. No wait at all and extremely friendly management and server. The food was hot and very well seasoned! Great prices and good portions. Only suggestion was to bring a jacket as it was cold inside. Definitely left a good impression to return. Went again a month later. Still during weekday lunch, with same greeted experience. Quickly seated and server seemed nice. After ordering the server drops my tables tray of food and management was VERY KIND to give us 50% off our meal for the delay. Unfortunately, the server took her mistake out on us (customers) and after food is brought, she proceeds to rudely stare at the table from 2 different positions, and when asked for a to-go box, it's THROWN at us. After speaking to not only the friendly manager, but the general manager as well who completely saved the experience! They apologize for her misplaced attitude and even went to provide payment back. While I disliked the server on my second time, I can tell it is ran by truly kind people who want to create a positive dinning experience. All said and done, I'LL BE BACK! read more

Consistency is the key with this establishment. Every time you walk into this place you can expect to get great food. My favorite is the Chicken Fried Chicken, the dinner portion. It is always amazing, and flavorful. I have tried their hamburgers, pasta, and more. Everything I have had, I enjoyed. You can expect to have to wait for a table, usually it is no more than 15 minutes. So if you are looking for a quick dining option, this isn't it. The servers are very accommodating and attentive. They are timely in bringing back certain items that you needed. read more

Nice place to stop for lunch though the crowd makes it a little on the loud side. Food was excellent and service was outstanding...margaritas weren't bad either! read more

Cheddar's has been one of my favorite places to eat for a very long time. It's one of my dad and I's favorites. We try to go out every single month and we get the same thing every single time. I personally order a steak, baked potato and french fries. He orders the dinner portion of country fried chicken and the two sides that it comes with. We often time order a plate of ultimate nachos as well. One of the things that I love about Cheddar's are their prices. We are able to order, chat and finish up with a bill that is around $30.00 (significantly less if we don't order the nachos) before tipping. The food quality is always excellent, as are the portions. My dad typically takes one of his pieces of chicken home for later. I however, have found many times that my steak is rather skinny. It's about a 50/50 chance. I like a thick steak and sometimes I'm presented with a thin, almost breakfast style steak. Regardless, it still tastes good. I have very few complaints. One is the wait. If you're going to take your family out for dinner, I suggest going early before dinner rush. Otherwise you're looking at a 30-45 minute wait. To be fair, the quality of food for the price is something you can't beat. Otherwise, I always ask for no onion straws with my steak. I don't like how they stick to the bottom, and they give them to me every single time. I have never had bad service at Cheddar's. Every server I've ever had has been prompt and very friendly. They make you feel like you're at home. I also appreciate that they do have a couple of tattooed and pierced employees. It's nice to see that times are changing. read more

Is there a half star? Ok so went back a second time to the same restaurant. The waitress was much better. More attentive and checked on us more frequently. But the food.... it was still terrible. The vegetables were cold. When I asked to have it warmed up she looked at me funny and literally took the plate microwaved it and came back... the center of the plate was still cold. The flavoring was blah. If we weren't in a rush and were starving we would not go back. I'd rather go to McDonald's. read more

Food was pretty tasty. We had nachos for the appetizer and the plate was huge! The wait took awhile and we even had to tell the waiters that there was an empty table not being used for 30 minutes. It wasn't a bad experience, but it could have been better. Will go back in the future. read more

The draw is this place is cheap. The food unfortunately is not consistent. One day an entree will be delicious, the next it is the worst. It's always busy and there's always a wait. read more

Came in with my family for lunch and left wondering why the overall rating for this place is only 3 stars. The place was packed but we were seated immediately and our waiter was attentive throughout. I ordered the lunch combo (1/2 Monte Cristo, salad, and baked potato soup - only $7!) The others in my group ordered chicken strips, burgers, and another lunch combo. Everything was fantastic and the portion sizes were good too - all 5 meals came to only $36. read more

This place was packed on a Friday night, even at 8pm. The food is plentiful for the price you pay. We were all satisfied with our meals and even ended up taking some home because the servings were so large. I had the shrimp and chicken strips that came with rice and a choice of two sides. I went with green beans and mashed potatoes. The chicken strips were great and heated up well the next day. The food overall was good but nothing more than a what you'd get at an Applebee's or Macaroni Grill. The place had a lot of families and after dining there I can understand why. Food is plentiful, tasty, and drinks and food are cheap. There is no happy hour, but drinks are only a few bucks - even for a martini! There's even a drink on the menu that is limited to two servings per dining experience...so I'm thinking it's pretty strong. The one odd thing we noticed that was a little confusing was the multiple wait staff we had. I think there were at least 3-4 different people that interacted with us, which wasn't a big deal other than that they didn't really communicate too well with each other. We had told one waiter to give us a few minutes to look at the menu and within a minute we had another waiter ask us if we were ready. After a couple of more of these interactions we finally had to ask what was going on. They explained that the bar staff also helps to cover the tables in the area we were in. Once we knew that we helped to communicate with them as to what we needed. read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Fun at Cheddars! - Comfort Food Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Had a friend tell us to eat here. Finally did. Long wait to be seated at like 2pm on a Sunday. Food was okay, the portions were huge. Why? I would rather have less and better food. I felt bad for the staff. They were running like crazy. It was a madhouse...no thanks. Our waiter was very nice. read more

Okay, This place is always packed, ALWAYS. Go during off hours and you will have minimal wait. If you go at 6PM on a Friday you will wait at least an hour, FACT. Once seated the service is freindly and relatively fast. The food is great if you like it deep fried. I occassionally do. The Onion Ring appatizer is good. Large pile of greasy, lightly battered, well cooked tender rings. A little on the salty side, but I like that. If I am going unhealthy, in for a penny in for a pound, if you know what I mean. The chicken strips are awesome, huge and enough for a couple of meals. Through in the Belgain waffle, for chicken and waffles, Nirvana. Diabetes here I come. Almost worth insulin shots. I hate needles. The real sleeper and my al time favorite here is the Monte Christo Sandwich. Turkey, ham and cheese, dipped in a french toast like sweet batter. And then yes, deep fried. Dusted with powdered suger and served with rasberry jam. This is onlt the second place i have seen do this right. Sounds wierd but it is perfect mix of Savory and Sweet, a little more on the sweet side. Again, worth the lifetime of insulin shots. With as much traffic that goes through this place I have never seen it grossly dirty as I have others. Though, I have seen people literally let there kids grind french fries into the carpet here and the waiters politely clean it up. Lastly, my suspision of why this place is always packed is: 1. The food is fried, hot, and tasty; 2. The plates are heaped high with food: 3. Service is friendly; 4. There seems always a large staff on duty to make it a pleasant experiance after you get seated. 5. The food is dirt cheap, the wife and I eat, with apps and drinks, for under $30. read more
