Really wanted to enjoy my experience here but it just was not great. The service and food were good, except for the honey butter croissants that looked like someone stepped on them. The ones that came out after ours looked good so not sure why they didn't just wait for those. The carpet and booth were in rough shape. You had to sit in a specific area of the booth or else you felt like your butt was going through a hole in the bench. read more

So I'm going to be honest here, I really wanted to give this place a good review, but overall it just wasn't enough. Our server seemed like such a nice young man, but he wasn't knowledgeable about the menu at all, including the drink menu. When we got our food, it wasn't half bad! The creaminess of the Cajun pasta was great and the fish dish was tasteful and light! The Buffalo wrap wasn't too spicy, and just right for kids. The sauce for the ribs was really great, but sadly, the meat was a bit on the drier side. What really knocked down this review was the service. But our server didn't check in at all till near the end and I had to put in another drink round through the tablet since I couldn't find him. What really sucked was trying to flag the service staff down using the call server button, only to have to flag another server down. Our table section wasn't busy and there were empty tables around us. So it didn't seem busy, but to be fair maybe they were understaffed? Either way, our group felt ignored a bit and I feel service makes up for half a review. read more

Loved the food here. The server was super helpful with suggestions and it wasn't too busy so service was super quick. The aquarium was really pretty and a great aspect of the restaurant. Everything was very clean and welcoming. read more

Had a late lunch / early dinner there today and experience was awesome. Our waitress was Sandy and she was friendly, professional and attentive. The tea was delicious, the restrooms were clean, the atmosphere was friendly and festive. The food was delicious, the portions were generous. The desert selections were abundant. I really enjoyed our dining experience and I will return the next time I'm in the area. read more

-Catching up on reviews piling up- It's been a while since I went to a Cheddars. I've never been to this location though! The restaurant was nice, I really like the rustic feel! I appreciate the attention to social distancing they took as well. When we got to our table, the waitress brought us some croissants. Wow. How can buttered bread taste this good!? It was just croissants with honey butter, but dang! This has to be on my top list for bread! I got the lighter portion of salmon with a side salad and coke slaw. The salad was pretty good! The homemade ranch was delicious! The salmon was a bit small. The portion wasn't what I expected. The coleslaw had an odd sweetness that I didn't like much. The cook on the salmon was good, I wish it had more glands and flavor though. I will be back though! Once the menu is fixed up to being less limited! read more

Tasty down-home cooking. My dining companion is very picky about what she eats. So if she suggests meeting here for lunch, it must be good. Service was fine. read more

I've been to Cheddars at different locations before, but for some reason, this location didn't do it for me. The food wasn't as flavorful and fresh. I got the ribs and chicken fingers. The ribs were good, but was missing something. Chicken fingers were good, same as any other locations. We had a group of 7 adults and our food took a while to come out. I understand because it was the day before fall semester started for UCF and families, freshmans and reunions were happening. The interior was nice, but the booths and tables were a little bit too greasy for my liking. read more

My wife and I ordered a family meal to share, which included 4 Half-racks of Ribs, 2 Broccoli Cheese Casserole, and 6 Honey Butter Croissants! We started with the croissants, half of the tasty sides, and 1 half-rack each; and, had a great meal outside by our pool (my wife did curbside pickup.) Our daughter made a meal of the remaining 4 croissants. We ate the rest of the casserole and ribs another day, reheating the items in the oven so they were warmed through. They were as tasty on the 3rd day as they were on the first. The ribs really hit the spot. They are well-seasoned with a dry rub, then lacquered with a BBQ Glaze; and, some extra sauce was provided. We had five great meals with the family meal deal. read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Family meal Rib deal with Honey Butter Croissants and Broccoli Cheese Casserole!!!! - American Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Cheddar's is a chain restaurant that has some decent food and fair prices! I've been here for several occasions with large parties and they've been nothing but accommodating. They have a good chicken pot pie and their cocktails are served up extra large. I've witnessed some pretty happy customers on their way out of the restaurant and I'm assuming they had one of those drinks. I would also recommend their chicken tenders and caesar salad. The salads come with a honey butter croissant that is so good I consider it my dessert. Some things that I didn't like as much were the grilled shrimp (very small portion) and broccoli casserole. All I all, this is a good family friendly restaurant chain. If you have kids, they will enjoy staring at the fish tank in the restaurant. Mine isn't old enough to even know what that is yet, but I'm sure he will soon. read more

My parents swear by this place but I wasn't thrilled. The two best things I had were the honey croissant and the Maui margarita. I'd have both of these things again any day, but my meal wasn't good. The grilled lemon pepper chicken, though moist, was very bland. The rice was salty or bland depending on the bite. I was accidentally given the string beans, which were honestly awful. The corn was okay. The glazed carrots were so sickeningly sweet that I couldn't eat them. Maybe my food choices failed because I tried to be healthy at a place that was known for fried stuff? read more

A large group of us descended on Cheddars at 8:30 on a Sunday night and the service was impeccable.Cheddars saw that we all wanted to sit together and made it happen (priceless). They also observed that this group needed a strong waitstaff to "herd the cats" so to speak and get us our food quickly. They sent us Natalie. Natalie is an Angel in disguise. She organized us and helped us navigate the ordering process like a BOSS! Once the food arrived, she quietly kept our drinks filled and fetched whatever we needed to make our experience seamless, which in turn, extended an already fabulous night for a couple more precious hours with friends from afar. Thank you Cheddars for stepping up! We may just see you next month! read more

My husband and I came in for a quick lunch at the bar. I got the light date Miso Salmon and he got a salad. Mine came out fast and hot. I think my husband wished he got the Salmon. I can say that for $9 that was prob the best lunch for the money I've had in a long time. The fish was nice and I ate every bite of it. It was a good size portion that left me full but not stuffed - perfection. The manager came over and asked how we were. I was afraid we wouldn't make it out in the 45 min but we did. We will be back again!! read more

This place used to be the spot on a Friday night. Now it's anything but. We walked in and there were many open tables but were told it'd be a 30-45 minute wait. I don't mind waiting but when the restaurant has many visible open tables. I ordered the pasta with shrimp and the food came out looking like it's been sitting for over 10mins. It just didn't look appetizing. I noticed that one of my shrimp had been missing, except the tail. Yup - it appears someone ate my shrimp. My wife's buffalo chicken wrap wasn't made as advertised. It was just a wrap with chicken. No lettuce or tomatoes, etc. nothing! Just a wrap and chicken. To make matters worse, we both woke up this morning feeling sick. Will we go back to Cheddar's? Probably not. This place has gone downhill fast. Get it together Chedders read more

We were not happy at all with the service or food at this restaurant! The waitress was very sour and never asked for refills. It took me some time to look over the menu since it was our first time at the restaurant and she got mad when I asked for a minute or 2. She also took her time in getting us the croissants which are to be given with our drinks... Nevertheless, my husband's burger was over cooked and the bacon was burned, our daughter's kids chicken tenders were too spicy for her to eat and my shrimp still had the tails on for my Alfredo pasta. It sucks, when you're trying to treat the family to a nice dinner someplace new and only 5 minutes from the house after a strenuous week at work but not able to enjoy it well. Needless to say, we will not be eating here again. read more

food was ok, nothing special. I paid over $100. and didn't receive a $100. meal or service. our service was horrendous.

Been coming to this Cheddars for years and today was a let down. My food came out cold and another person's food was not cooked correctly we had to send both plates back while other people in our party ate. The server said a manager was bringing my food out but he never came out to our table so I could talk to him. I saw another table requesting a manager and I never saw him come to their table. Extremely disappointed. read more

Food was good and affordable. Service was excellent. Will be back as we did miss dessert.

Fresh clean and good American comfort food in a great location and ambience. We went to Orlando to visit our son who is going to university of central Florida and wanted to take him some place nice to sit down and enjoy the conversation and we loved the place and food. The food is freshly made and to taste and the has a wonderful drink selection. The service was efficient and the rest rooms are clean and well maintained. I definitely recommend if you want to take your family out for a nice meal. The music was not too loud and the bar grill area is separated so you can enjoy the conversation and time spent with family and friends. The croissants they serve were hot and tasteful and definitely worth it ! The manager does a good job of running the place and the wait staff did a good job as well to attend to our family . read more

We used to love Cheddars and have missed it but we aren't sure what we used to order. The menu seems different The complementary crescent was fantastic! I also surprisingly loved the house salad because it had egg and cheese. The veggie plate was ok. The cheese and brócoli casserole is good and the carrots were nice and sweet. The corn and green beans were the best. They tasted canned. The restaurant is clean and pretty. Our server was great but we felt like she was the only server and had all the customers on her own. I wouldn't give up on this place but I need to find a favorite dish here. read more

You cannot go wrong with chicken fried Chicken and lemon pepper Chicken, they make it the best. Crispy skin and juicy chicken, the sides are solid with mac and cheese and butter corn. I am all about southern cooking and this place never disappoints. End it with a apple crisp and vanilla ice cream dessert. Perfect ending to a meal. Delicious as expected! Cheddars customer hospitality is on point! We had a very minor issue with a food request, right away a manger, Tim, showed up to handle and addressed our issue. He was very professional, yet easy and nice to speak to. I almost forgot their monster cookie is made in house with ice cream, nuts, chocolate sauce, whip cream and a cherry. Definitely worth the wait! read more

First time trying cheddars ever, and our server Vincent went above and beyond. Exceeding my expectations. Completely impressed. His character mood tone was top notch.

He's an amazing asset to the company. read more

Desserts not too sweet. Cookie takes 15 min to make. Family restroom available My coworkers and I came here for Valentine's Day lunch. It wasn't too busy and the servers were extremely friendly. He explained to us how long it takes to order a certain dessert and always made sure we were taken cared of. I got the tilapia with mango sauce and grilled shrimp. It was a bit spicy for my taste but I loved the flavor. Even their steamed broccoli had great flavors. Affordable and big portions plus mouthwatering options! What more can I ask for ? ----- I just came back again after a week. This time I got the three minis for dessert. You can exchange the flavors if you want. It usually comes with a chocolate, a key lime and a strawberry cheesecake one. I exchanged the key lime for another chocolate so I could share it with friends. The chocolate flavored mini had a strong cocoa flavor. The mousse was very creamy and sweet. Just perfectly paired with the chocolate cake The strawberry cheesecake was ok. The cream cheese part was soft and not too sweet as well. But I don't like strawberry ... maybe they could try pairing other cheesecakes flavors like caramel. If you get the Monster it takes 15 minutes to make. So make sure to order early. Also there is a family restroom available in the restaurant aside from male/ female restrooms. read more

I waited and dined a few times before finally writing a review for the suddenly popular Cheddars. My personal experience is that it's really hit or miss here. The first time I dined here I had a wonderful experience. Their Mexican soup was fabulous, but then on another occasion it was salty beyond words. I once ordered their miso glazed salmon off the low calorie menu and it came with broccoli and ginger rice. The rice tasted nothing like ginger,while the broccoli was so over cooked that it would fall apart to mush when I tried picking it up with a fork. The piña colada was weak, and my friend and I joked that it was the best coconut smoothie ever. Because the food isn't consistent in quality or taste, it's difficult to give them anything more than three stars. read more

3 out of 5 only because of the lack of service AFTER we submitted our order. Busy Saturday night and we were seated immediately with our small party of four. We were greeted nicely and drinks ordered. Drinks came and food ordered and that was the last time we saw our waitress. Even other employees brought our food. I mean, we flagged her down, but it was never her that came back to our table. And never the same person twice. Even if you were clocked out or were covering a table beforehand, just tell us that. It took 20 minutes to get our check settled, as they had an issue using a gift card. Food was fair. Drinks were super sweet. Not a good balance of acid. read more

This was our 2nd attempt to dine at Cheddars, the 1st time the wait was 45mins to an hour....we were way to hungry to wait that long. This being a new opening, the multitude was to be expected. This time the wait was less than 10mins. Our waitress was very attentive and gave us the rundown of the menu and drinks. We ordered the triple sampler, potato skins, chicken tenders and Wisconsin cheese curds. The chicken tenders were very good. Every thing else was not impressive. My husband ordered the ribs and chicken tenders, the sides, mac & cheese and red beans and rice, were served in the tiniest of plates, looked like tea saucers and they were not that good. I ordered the homemade chicken pot pie with a side of ceasar salad both were good. The pastry top of the pie was awwsome. I also tried a drink called Passion Punch, not too sweet and not alot of alcohol, just right. Overall experience was good and we will return. read more

Everyone in the South talks about how amazing Cheddar's is, so I had to see what all the fuss was about. My family and I arrived around 8 p.m. on a Friday. We were told there was a 35-40 minute wait, which went much faster than anticipated. I knew that if everyone was waiting to dine there, then it must be good. We ordered the following items: Onion rings (A++) - loved the crust Caesar salad (D+) - soft croutons and too much dressing Country fried steak (B) Country fried chicken (A-) Loaded baked potato (B) Broccoli casserole (B) Due to lukewarm temp Blackened salmon (A+) Corn (A+) Mashed potatoes (A+) Croissant (A++) We typically order dessert everywhere we go, but literally had no room. Our server was really sweet, but it took forever to get silverware, drink refills, and our check. This is the kind of place that I'd prefer to place a to-go order rather than dine in. It's also very economical if you have to feed a large family or a just budget conscious. read more

Got an email from Cheddar's about their weekday family special starting at $19.99. The special we got was $24.99 and it included: 8 lemon pepper chicken breasts with Dijon mustard, 2 sides of your choice and 6 croissants. We chose mashed potatoes with gravy and broccoli casserole as our two sides. I placed the order online and it's was incredibly easy and straight to the point. When we arrived to pick up our order, a staff member approached our car with a face mask and gloves which I appreciated. It shows how serious their company is taking the CDC guidelines. The gentlemen brought our food in a tray so there's was absolutely no contact and before we knew it we were headed home. The food on the way home smelled like heaven! Well let me tell you that the smell did not disappoint! The food arrived hot and you can tell it was just made. Its been so long since I've had chicken breast that this definitely felt like a treat. It was extremely juicy and it tastes grilled which I loved. There mashed potatoes was so good and well, the broccoli casserole was my husband's favorite. But can I say, that my favorite was the heavenly croissants!!! OMG! They were heavenly!! Take advantage of this special while it lasts! read more

This restaurant Sucks with a capital S. It is no different than any other chain except for what I think is the fact that nothing is made to order. My burger looked like it was sitting in a window with a heat lamp and my baked potato was literally ice cold, like it came out of the fridge. I asked for another and got one even colder. Their answer? On the house. Management needs to take a hard look at their kitchen staff and what these guys are doing because if they knew food was coming out like this they would be horrified. My advice? There is so much better. I tried it and I am not going back. read more

For starters we had no wait time, but once we were seated it took our waiter 30 minutes to take our drink and appetizer order, then took 45 minutes to bring out our steak and broccoli cheese casserole, had to send one of the steaks back because it was underdone, also had to ask several times for my glass of wine and took an over an hour to be brought to the table, we also had to ask several times for our glasses of water to be refilled, when we had to send the steak back it took over 20 minutes to be brought out a new one or the same one to be cooked to the right temperature, the ambiance was loud and noisy and several tables around our section also complained about the same waiter I think his name was Owen or Collin but I will never come back here again after tonight read more
