First the food was great but after watching the bartender (girl with blue in her hair) serve other people drinks I was disgusted how she was handing the fruits she put in the drinks. This female bartender was grabbing the fruit with her bare hands with no tongs or gloves near by. I approached the manager about this and she confirmed its policy and they can do that which is false I never seen a bartender use there bare hands that is very unsanitary. Especially after she is eating and serving drinks without washing her hands. Manager was rude and did not take my concern seriously. read more

The food was great and the waiter was really nice to us 5 I loved eating here and hope I help others out and make them want to eat here

croissants are yummy, chicken tenders are worth it - moist, french fries are okay until they get cold - which is faster than you think - and yes they are a bit soggy. service was ...thorough. read more

I thought everything was exactly as I'd expected it to be. Sat at the bar and had a burger with a side salad. The burger was fine and the salad was what you'd expect from any type of family style restaurant. Shredded iceberg, carrot, cheese, and a couple of grape tomatoes. The bartender was nice, and the food was hot. I would definitely eat here again for a quick bite that is a step above fast food. read more

We were meeting family for dinner in Orlando and asked them what would be good around our hotel. They mentioned Cheddars and how great it was so we decided to give them a try. Ambience and Location: It reminds me of a fancier Green Mill or Granite City. The menu is a mixture of comfort food such as Ribs, Chicken Fingers (called Critters here), Pasta, and Sandwiches. They are a quick walk from either Seaworld and Aquatica and across the street from the Doubletree Resort. Service: Service was exceptional. Prompt, friendly, and hard working. Our server came over multiple times to see how we were doing and to make sure that everything was going well. Drinks: Upon entering and walking past the tables to our seats, I noticed that a lot of people were drinking something from a large goblet rimmed with toasted coconut. I looked at the menu to see that it was called Cheddar's Painkiller. It isn't your typical tiki painkiller but boy is it good. Creamy coconut and pineapple flavors mix to make a smooth tasting and delicious drink. Food: I was told by my relatives who live locally that the best way to go with Cheddars is to order from their combos menu. You get a choice of numerous entrees such as chicken critters, coconut shrimp, steak, or chicken and two sides. I had the chicken critters and coconut shrimp with a side of broccoli cheese casserole and coleslaw. The shrimp were great and the chicken tenders were awesome. Big, juicy pieces of chicken lightly breaded and fried - these were not the frozen from the bag variety. I also cannot forget the free croissants with honey butter that were delivered to our table when we sat down. Warm and crispy and covered in a honey butter sauce, yum! Price Vs Quality - This is an A+ for me. Prices were extremely reasonable and you got a bunch of food for the price. I cannot stress this enough, other places of this caliber easily get away with charging $20 - 30ish bucks for their plates and Cheddars cuts those costs in 1/2. I was absolutely surprised by the final check on how affordable our dinner was. After our experience tonight, Cheddars will definitely be a go-to place while we are in Orlando in the future. read more

This location & its servers/ management will take your credit card and fraudulently run your card several times for different amounts. Trying to get ahold of corporate and local management will take several hours of frustration as no one answers the phone and to contact corporate office you must fill out a form online. BEWARE!!! Do not dine here. read more

Decent and tasty food for a wonderful price! I wish we had a Cheddars back home because I would go weekly. Our server was quick and attentive. I suggested you order a steak which was cooked to perfection. Also the salmon was light and delicious. Perfect for quick dinner or easy going date night. read more

Service really slow and unfriendly. Go anywhere else to spend your money. Not worth the aggravation.

We are not new to Cheddars and they are usually consistent..we went to this location yesterday..Ashley P was our server and was very sweet..she brought out the Croissants with the Honey Butter and they were hard, like they did not rise...we ordered a salad instead of one of our sides for the .99 upgrade and they came in a chilled bowl as they always do..sadly our meal came shortly after we took two bites of the salad...ordered the Chicken Pot Pie and it was very good..hubby ordered the Country Fried Steak and it was mostly batter, a small piece of meat in the middle..I find when we visit this area, the food is never the same as where we go and is not consistent as it should be ..the people in the table behind us were sending their food back, so not sure about this one..we would not come back here...our server was very nice and was very efficient, the food from the one meal was not so good though... read more

I always get the same pasta dinner. New Orleans. Tonight was the worst. the pasta had no sauce, very dry. Usually it has too much sauce. The chicken pieces were so tuff, could not chew. Gave it to the dog. I notice upon ordering there was a charge for extra sauce, so is this why the pasta was so dry? Its ashame the traffic is so busy, or i would of returned the dinner. I've ordered this many times, and never this bad............................ Donna Kane 407 312 1330 dkane313@gmail.com read more

Quick seating available, didn't appear too busy around 6:30pm on a weekday. You can order apps & desserts from the tablet on the table and then the meal from the server. When the hostess sat us down, that would've been something good to know, instead of waiting for the server that took our main course order and added our appetizers on the tablet. Then our food came BEFORE the appetizers. Service is not bad but not good either. There were no suggestions to enhance our experience and he mixed up one of our drink orders. Didn't see him for some time, was able to flag him down to correct the drink, at which time he asked how we're doing. The restaurant looked good and clean. With that said, the food...very, very good! The four stars is for the honey butter croissants, the cheese bites, the pasta, the fried shrimp, the country fried steak and the chicken pot pie. Definitely deserves a repeat visit. Gotta go & get you some! read more

What the heck, Cheddar's? It's bad enough that you don't require your servers to wear masks. We can accept that, but that doesn't mean we want the servers breathing on our food. When our server brought our food out, instead of placing it down immediately, she says, "I've got to warn you, these plates are HOT, HOT, HOT!" Now all her hot, hot, hot germs are on our food. hopefully she's vaccinated, but I have no way to know for sure. So we push past that, and I've got to say my coconut shrimp were fabulous. I'd get them again. But not from here. But the true one-star moment came with dessert. I purposely ordered a small meal so I'd have room for a monster cookie, a longtime favorite dessert. When they brought it out, I could tell it had been sitting because the ice cream was so melted I couldn't see the cookie underneath. I took my spoon and dug in searching for the cookie. (In my Gordon Ramsey voice) IT WAS RAW! Not just undercooked, but totally raw. I was able to stir the cookie with my spoon. The melted ice cream was firmer than the cookie. I won't be back here again. read more

Had the grilled djon chicken, baked potato, and green beans. Portion size was generous. For the price you get lots of food. Croissants were delicious. Green beans were ok. read more

Came here last weekend after my daughter's photo shoot. I love Cheddar's; first time at this location. For the appetizer, we ordered the SANTA FE SPINACH DIP! I haven't been disappointed as of yet. The drink was excellent. I had a pain killer :) very tasteful. The main meal was a TOP SIRLOIN STEAK with fries and corn. The steak was tasty and juicy, perfectly cooked. I had no room for dessert. The staff was super amazing. read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - A pain killer. - Comfort Food Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Service 8/10 quick, pleasant and continuous check in great job miss. Grace. Had pot pie and country fried steak with mashed potatoes loaded. Potatoes were cold bacon and cheese were warmish. Had it been hot it would've likely been delicious. Pot pie is/was too thin might've well been a thinner version of Cambells Country fried steak 2/10 almost 0 gravy a small dipping dish was presented, along with a flavorless cube steak wrapped in some healthy actual chicken fry. Problem was type of fry fell off the moment touched it. Didn't have its own assertive flavor. Easy 5/10 overall. Could've had the same meal at Denny's. One $ for cost. read more

After a two hour drive from home, we stopped at Cheddars for a late lunch. We are familiar with The chain and have never been disappointed with either the food or service. This time however we waited an hour for our food to arrive. Tables seated after us were served way before us. One family seated after us dominated our server before she could take our order. Of course, their meals came out before and our server said those meals were quicker to prepare and "that's the way it is". We tried to locate the manager to voice our disappointment and how we were inconvenienced by the delay but no one bothered to come to the see us. read more

I ate at Cheddars in Maryland before so when I saw it in Orlando I thought it would be nice to try out again. The croissants were just as I remembered; perfect combination of buttery and sweet simply baked to perfection. The painkiller was no joke, but I definitely enjoyed it and see exactly why they limit them to (2) per guest. The coconut shrimp were over cooked, however the chips and queso were yummy. The kids enjoyed their food; my friend ordered the fried chicken meal and said it was pretty good. I had the grilled white fish (catfish) which was tasty but could've been more blackened/grilled. All in all I went home full so I have no real complaints and I thought the server was pretty helpful as well, just can't remember her name. Thanks Cheddars read more

Great dinner at Cheddar's Scratch kitchen tonight. First time eating here and we really enjoyed the food, the price and the service. Our server was really considerate when I told him that I had just had a dental procedure and I was trying to avoid foods that were chewy, or hard. I really appreciated him asking me about some food choices. Good experience, definitely recommend this restaurant and the location is good too, near sea world but not too touristy. read more

I ordered here because I wanted a baked potato. So I got that and their lemon chicken for curbside pick-up. Except no one came to curbside to give me the food, so after I waited 15 mins I went inside to get it. They also didn't give me the baked potato. Honest mistake I am sure so that's not the reason for my 1 stars. The lemon chicken was like dried up rubber, almost inedible. You needed knives as teeth to chew it. The rice underneath had zero flavor. I don't recommend and won't be going back. read more

This place was wicked busy on a Wednesday evening and so the service was slow, but the servers were friendly. The food was pretty good. Their menu is simple. I had a cheeseburger and fries. Not many ways to mess that up. Their buttered croissants served at the start of the meal were divine. read more

Great food and drinks. Prices are very reasonable, and sortion sizes are great. My friends had ribs, shrimp, chicken tenders, and Caesar salad. Ribs were tender and seasoned well. Drinks were great and worth the price! The staff are friendly and very accommodating to all guests. read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen recently opened next to Delmonico's. It's a perfect place for a family to visit after enjoying a day at SeaWorld. The restaurant is family friendly and they have a good children's menu. The service was dragging even with the contraption on the table that allows you to order drinks,appetizers or call your server. Turns out that the call your server means that the server has to see it before they stop by. Our call the server request went through two cycles before someone stopped by. In fairness the restaurant was very busy with every table occupied. I was in a hurry because it was late and I had two cranky four year olds to feed. We spent the day at SeaWorld so they were tired and hungry. I ordered the children chicken strips that came out of the kitchen amazing. They were so moist and the batter taste great. The fries were mushy but they didn't want to eat them anyway. The pot pie was delicious. The scratch made cream sauce was light and seasoned nicely. The vegetables had a fresh taste to them and the chicken was all white meat. read more

As always Cheddar's delivers on excellent quality and service at great prices. This was our first time at this location but not to the franchise. They always deliver great food at affordable prices but usually when chains have locations near International Drive the prices go up as the quality goes down which I guess is understandable with the volume of customers they have to deal with. That was not the case with this location. The prices and quality are exactly what I get from the location down the road from where I live. read more

We have driven past this place uncountable times and always thought it would be a typical national chain type restaurant. We were not completely wrong, but it does stand out a little above similar eateries in my opinion. The first thing they bring you is a warm, scratch made croissant with a honey butter glaze. Absolutely amazing, but unfortunately they were the highlight of the entire meal. Not to take away from the quality from the rest of our meal, but the free bread should not be best item placed on the table. We had the Wisconsin Cheese Bites for an appetizer. Very good with a unique horseradish dipping sauce. The meals we choose were: Grilled Chicken Pecan Salad, Grilled Shrimp Alfredo, and Country Fries Steak. Everything was seasoned well and tasted good. I believe you can taste the difference when food is prepared from scratch. There is a strength to the seasoning, which would be more bland from pre-prepared meals (at other national chain restaurants). Overall, it was a very enjoyable meal and we will definitely be back in the future. read more

We love Cheedars and miss it locally ! There are some changes but overall the same food with a couple of missing staples from past. Most items are fried. It's Friday night and we are seated without issue. Bar is open to dining room but big enough for all. It's very noisy however. They now use kiosks for appetizers and payment which moves things in concept. Our appetizer took along time however overall with 15-20 minutes for Cheese Kurds. We ordered several entrees including the chicken fingers, chicken wrap, and son wanted fish and chips. (He later was pissed to find they don't stock Malt Vinegar). The fish was not catfish, but whitefish, and cornmeal battered. Funny as all other fried items have a beer type batter. He liked the different texture but had to dip in Ranch since he didn't like the Tartar Sauce included. Our waitress visited a couple times and quite nice. She was strangely absent during close out as we needed a couple takeout containers for excess. Bill ran about 60 bucks and we do not drink sodas nor liquor. Prices went up but seemed fair overall for portions provided, other than perhaps the small appetizer. The missing items on menu include their famous queso with meat topping add. They also did not have the onion ring tower. They did include a complimentary croissant for each upon sitting which was a great sweet treat. read more

We were excited to try this place being it's a scratch kitchen, but we were sorely disappointed. We went for a late lunch after 2 pm. The place wasn't crowded at all. We were immediately seated, but it took about 5 minutes before someone came to greet us. Our Waitress/ Bartender finally came over to greet us and take our orders. We ordered our Drinks and Appetizers and they came out after normal wait about 10 mins. Then we were waiting and waiting and waiting on our Entrees for about another 30 minutes after we finished our Appetizers. We saw our Waitress at the Bar making and mixing Drinks. So that's why we were waiting so long for our food. She had to manage the Bar too and wait tables, but she was at the Bar most of the time. We saw several Runners and Waiters and even the Manager walk right by our tables several times and no one came to pick up the empty Appetizers Plates that were on the end of the table, that should of been an indication that we were finished. Another couple came in after us and sat next to us and got their Food before us.They had a different Waitress though. My Husband got so mad he went up to the Hostess stand were the Manager wasn't doing anything and told him what was going on. So we finally got our Food, but by that time we was ready to just leave. Our Food tasted like it was sitting under a heat lamp. When the Waitress came over to ask how the Food was, he got the New Orleans Pasta my Husband told her not good at all, the Pasta was dry and the Shrimp was overcooked. He didn't eat it, Mines was ok, I had to ask for a refill on my Tea too. We asked for the Check and when the Waitress came back she said, they took the Pasta off the check. Don't think we will be returning, we was also disappointed in the Menu items, it was just basic, especially for a scratch kitchen. The Honey Butter Croissants were the best thing. read more

Visiting from Washington state and this spot was down the street from our hotel. We had a party of 9 and they were able to accommodate us. It was much so it wasn't busy at all. We placed a huge order for ribs, burgers, chicken, pot pie, salad, wraps, and more. The food was quick and hot. Our waitress was nice. The complimentary croissants were good. We even ordered a few more for the kids. We got an order of the chips and queso. Food was fast out. Everything tasted great. read more

Service was not good. Me and my girlfriend ordered some food for our anniversary. We where visiting and decided too get take out. When I pulled up at the take out, they came out and told me it was getting bagged and it would be 5 minutes or so. I waited at least 10 plus. That is not the issue. I then went in side and I had the electric bike and told her that I was getting charged for the minute. They finally get too me after I plead with her that I'm getting charged by the minute. They finally start looking around and they didn't even start it. They asked if I wanted to wait longer. I couldn't because it would charge me more. Don't know how some one can say it's almost done too it even didn't get started. We we're both so happy too try out there food but never had a chance to try it out. Really ruined our anniversary night. Disappointed we got lied too that our food was getting done when it never went in. Not a memory I wanted on our special night. read more
