My server was amazing. I would go back just because. My food was fair. Salmon perfect broccoli slightly over cooked. The carrot cake hmmm. Let me just say for the quality and taste. I recommended going to Publix and get 2 slices the the price of 1 slice at cheddars. read more

This location just didn't have the best of service. I was upset bc co had been to one in Arkansas and it was so good seen they're here in Florida and I had to go! The restaurant wasn't packed but everything was so slow to come out! The food was good, and average for this type of establishment, but a little on the warm side ... Surprised the fish was actually as good as it was, but the service was slow that it took this location from a 3 to 2 star experience. read more

Went on Saturday with step daughter and grand kids. Food was so so but the issue I have is when I found the solid black hair in my broccoli casserole. I didn't make a scene just let waiter know. He didn't seem to believe me then saw it. My concern being in customer service was not even an apology or a manager to come over and apologize. Just scooped it up and replaced it. Like I am going to eat that now. Dad used to like it here read more

The food and services were really good. The food tasted great and was hot. The overall environment was not so good. We were a party of three adults and we were seated adjacent to a large group that was celebrating school graduation of several young children. At first, there were no issues except for the house music being incredibly loud. The loud music made it difficult to have a conversation which prompted the group next to us to increase the volume of their conversations which gave the children license to scream and to carry their celebrations into the areas around our table. As time passed, more people began to show up and add to the crowd. Their table was only meant to seat eight, but just as we were reaching the end of our meal, the group had grown to seventeen which prompted the manager to stop and inform them that they could not have so many at that particular table. The solution was to move them to a different area which was setup for larger groups. This was done as we paid our bill and started to leave. Having worked in the hospitality industry previously, you never seat a small party of adults in an area directly next to a party of families with children who were quite loud. We may rethink ever coming back to this store. read more

I'm a big fan of cheddars, but this cheddars didn't live up to the brand name. I ordered the new meatloaf, which I had had a week before at the Cheddar's over by UCF. It came with two super thin slices up meatloaf that were burnt, with burnt flakes sprinkled over the mashed potatoes. There was no tomato glaze coating as the menu mentioned, I'm imagining that's what the layer of black was supposed to be. And, the meatloaf was plated with the burnt side facing down, almost as if they knew they messed up and wanted to hide it. It was a weekday afternoon without a huge crowd, so I found it weird they seemed to have rushed the food out to us without ensuring it was cooked properly. My friend got the country fried chicken and found it bland, although I didn't think it tasted too far off from when I'd had it at other locations. It's kind of just a bland dish. The service wasn't terrible, but could've been better (waitress didn't keep drinks filled). Overall it wasn't the cheddars experience we were looking for. Maybe the kitchen had an off day, but I'd recommend just heading over to the UCF location if it's near enough to you. read more

Given the line and hype I may have built this place up to be more in my head before eating here myself. From the outside they showcase that they ate a from scratch restaurant where everything is made on site. This was obviously appealing. We had a 35 min wait at 5 pm on a Saturday, so be ready for a wait, even for an early bird time. Since it's a large restaurant, that gets crowded is also very loud inside. I struggled to hear my dad taking right in front of me. All the food was good, but nothing crazy to rave about or drive out of the way for specifically. The Wisconsin cheese curds are good, and I'd recommend them as an appetizer. Overall: B Definitely A-Ok if in the area and you don't mind loud atmosphere and a wait. read more

Cheddar's generally treats me well. This location is pretty clean and the service can be speedy. Like everyone and their mom I always get the croissants. I can't resist baked goods. The glaze and warm flaky dough drives me wild with hunger! It really is a great appetizer, I could devour them anytime honestly. What I like about Cheddar's is that you can get a meal for about $10 to 20$ and anywhere in between. It's good food. I ordered the tender basket! I couldn't finish it. The chicken is steaming, hot, white meat and crispy. The honey mustard they use is very good! Compliments the tenders very well. Just enough tang. The fries are always made golden and served hot. My partner ordered the monte cristo. If you haven't had it you are missing out! It is a cornucopia of creation! Many different flavors and textures that somehow work very well together. Ham,cheese,fried bread, powdered sugar, and cranberry preserves! mmmm! Sadly, my stomach can't handle it anymore so it has been a while for me. I do miss the good old days! My main thing when going someplace that I ask myself, is it worth what I paid? Yeah, I think so! read more

Jamal was excellent! Greeted us and took us to our table. Very personable, informative, and helpful. Our waiter was excellent too. The food was great. The green beans and baked potato were the very best. The salmon was good, too.The margarita and Painkiller drinks were exceptional. read more

I've been to Cheddars many times and always good quality but on vacation in Orlando and came to one expecting a good steady quality meal. The chicken tenders are dry and flavorless. The garlic bread from the kids pasta is hard as a rock. We ordered the steak and ribs and they forgot the ribs. The steak was ordered medium and came out rare so we sent it back and it came back out but medium rare and same piece. It's obvious that they're cooking for cook times and not cooking for quality. Very disappointed. read more

Last time I've been to this establishment, I was not a yelper which was three years ago. If I was, I would of rate it a three stars because of the food. I came back a few days ago, the food is still inconsistent. I was thinking of ordering the new homemade meatloaf or the salmon. The bartender suggested the meatloaf so I went for it including mash potatoes and Caesar salad. The salad was good but meatloaf and mash potatoes were one of the greasiest dish I have ever tasted. It was drench with grease. I took two bites and that was it. I flagged down the bartender and showed the grease to her. She said that meatloaf is prepared like that and the manager said the mash potatoes was not stirred correctly which made it feel greasy. They were cool with me replacing my order with the salmon. The salmon was way better that the meatloaf. It was juicy and tasty. The sides I picked was the broccoli casserole. It was yummy. The restaurant is clean, the service is really good, and price is good too. But food still needs work and they need some sort of quality control in place so it can be consistently good. read more

There are not many places I have been to in Orlando that have the ambiance or great prices of the chain Cheddars Scratch Kitchen. The look of the restaurant gives a sort of modern-yet traditional feel with its exotic looking fans and leather booths. I visited the restaurant with my sisters due to the fact that one of my sisters exclaimed that "it was her favorite restaurant in the area". When we entered the restaurant was bustling with people and I wondered if it was going to take a while to get a seat, then as if she had read my mind, the hostess let us know that there was no waiting time and we got seated. Our server was a nice girl named Darlene and she gave us the opening spiel regarding the restaurant and type of food that was served there. I decided to go with the breaded chicken tenders and breaded shrimp combination with broccoli and cheese casserole and macaroni and cheese while my sisters went with the salmon and rice and the half rack of ribs and the chicken tenders' combination. For our appetizer we got the chips and queso and it was delicious. The food only took about 15-20 minutes and when it came out I can say my mouth watered immediately. The breading on the chicken was crunchy while the meat was juicy. The casserole was good as well. The mac and cheese was average however. By the end of the meal everyone had cleared their plates and was suffering from a food coma. The price of the food was very affordable and we ended up spending around 40$ between 3 people. The reason I'm giving this review 4 stars is because I did not get a chance to try the drinks and would have loved to do that. I will definitely be coming back again. read more

Stopped in after my flight landed. Was not a good service. I ordered half ribs and half tenders with corn and fried my sis got shrimp dish. Let's start off that the fries was cold and 2 of my tenders. It the other tenders was ok. The ribs seemed like they have been sitting under the heat lamp in the back. It was dry. Finally someone came over told them about he fries and told them replace it with coleslaw (since it's cold) the the server came over and told her about the ribs. She said I can bring some more out, I refused and told her just bring me tenders in its place. My sis just took hers home to reheat herself. She did the change the price from the combo to tender dinner. No sincere apology and we hardly seen the server much. Not sure if she got over loaded but service was soso. Not what I normally get from cheddars. read more

the service was really good, the salad and croissants are also really good. But when opened my fried chicken there was a shrimp in it... and the broccoli was brown and tasted very odd. Pretty good place but lowkey kind of confused.. read more

This is a brand new franchise food chain and so far the place has been popular! The times we have came to eat my portion of the foods have been "salty"! Its sad because foods are made from scratch yet they tend to overseason foods! The first time I have eaten here the onion rings were tad bit salty so I had to cover it up a little bit with their homemade delicious ranch dressing dipping sauce - the chipotle sauce is not favorable for my palate. The cheddar burger from the first visit was huge and cooked perfect "medium well" - it was juicy and just tastes fresh! The strawberry lemonade was delicious and had chunks of real plump strawberries! I notice many order the mixed alcoholic drinks! The prices are CHEAP! The pina colada looking ones and strawberry swirl ones seems to be popular from the bar! 2nd visit today I opted for the New Orleans Pasta. It was a popular entree from here and was excited to try it UNTIL AGAIN - too salty! WHY??? I barely touched my pasta and ate the garlic toast to get over the over salted taste of my entree! The manager came by the table and mentioned the sausage, chicken and other meats are pre seasoned and that may have cause the dish to be salty and offered options for me to replace the entree. I heard raves of the Mac & Cheese and I chose that and she also offered a soup and I chosed Baked Potato. The Mac & Cheese was delicious the pasta was odd shaped - I didnt have the chance to eat my baked potato soup but when I was preparing it to my doggie bag containers I tasted whats left in the spoon and it was delicious! They waived my entree and my 2nd option of food was on the house! Food here is cheap, Large portions and Scratch made and That is why this place is going to last - Also customer service is excellent especially after today's visit! I want to try their mixed alcoholic drinks next time! read more

While hungry in the area, I decided to try Cheddars again. It's been at least 2-3 years since the last time I visited & I remembered why. When we arrived, it was not busy, yet we were placed in the back of the restaurant, alone. No other parties were seated in the area until we were basically done. Our waiter, although nice, was not very attentive. Honey butter croissants & spinach dip to start. Croissants were cold (although tasted good) & dip was watery, lacked flavor & chips were extremely salty. Chicken tenders were over cooked, fries were cold & hard, chicken fried steak was salty & corn was hard & overcooked. We won't be returning. read more

I've been visiting different Orlando eateries since work has me in the area quite often. This time I decided to try Cheddar's after my coworker's raved about it for lunch. I've been on Keto, so I went simple. A bacon cheese burger with no bun and southern green beans. The burger was pretty tasty. A solid burger. The green beans were perfect and I didn't miss the fries (that much, let's be honest). I was initially really taken by how friendly and warm my server was. She was really sweet. I was so hungry I couldn't wait to devour my meal! Imagine my surprise when I open the bag and... well you know what I'm going to say... instead of my burger, there was chicken tenders and fries (it hurt even more because I'm keeping away from carbs, lol). I called the restaurant back. It was almost an hour after I had picked up my order. They immediately knew the problem and worked quickly to get another burger started. I am staying close by so driving back only took like 15 minutes and wasn't a huge deal. The manager was very apologetic and I know mistakes happen. Overall I really liked Cheddar. Price was really good and the food was hot and tasty. read more

I'll keep it simple and sweet. I've been wanting to go here for a while. Finally got a chance to take my wife and kids. My daughter had a ceaser salad that she said tasted funky, followed by some weird tasting chicken Alfredo. My son had his usual tenders and fries... He never complains other than the waiter taking forever to bring him BBQ sauce and salt and pepper. My wife had a half a rack of ribs which were more fat that anything else. Only the well done burnt parts were worth it. I had a steak and ribs and my ribs were the same as my wife's . I didn't mention sides because I gotta say they a stingy as hell with the sides. The broccoli casserole was good. Mash was decent .... Doubt I'd come back here . Same type of menu as others read more

2 Samuel 1:27 - How the mighty have fallen! So after a few lackluster visits recently, we decide to make ourselves vulnerable and give Cheddar's another try. Based on an awesome looking picture from their website, I ordered the Redfish with Crab Sauce. My wife ordered the Country Fried Chicken, as she often does. When our food came it was then that we realized we had no silverware. Our food started going cold while we waited an oddly long time for the silverware. My wife's Texas toast was hard like a crouton. She asked for a new piece, which came out barely toasted at all. Sigh. On to my travesty of an entree: Be sure to check out the pic. The left is from the website, the right is what they served me. The fish was overcooked, and there was barely a splash of crab sauce. Thankfully our server had an awesome attitude, and he got me some more sauce without hesitation. And somehow our fries were dry on the inside. Yeah... that takes skill. The Fry Snob in me was not pleased. At least the coleslaw was good. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Cheddar's used to be our go-to restaurant, but they've completely fallen off these last few months. The shrimp is different, the ribs are different, the burgers are different, the pot pie is different. And it's all for the worse. Disregard my old pictures. I'll have to edit the captions. If they change the Monster Cookie, I may be done with Cheddar's forever! read more

Well, we just found a favorite place. Thanks yelp as I did not even know this place existed until i saw a recent review on the main page and checked it out. A solid 4 stars for food quality and friendly, knowledgeable server, Carissa, and an extra star for the prices and quantity. I had the country fried steak with mashed potatoes and green beans and wife had the vegetable plate all of which was very good. My favorite part was the mashed potatoes. My wife is a coleslaw connoisseur and said that this was some of the best she has ever had. At Carissa's suggestion we tried a couple of the mini desserts and were very glad we did as they were much better than expected and for the price we will definitely get them again every visit. And the prices! I can't remember ever having such a good meal in a nice looking restaurant with a great server for such a small sum. Two meals with sodas and desserts for less than $25. Can't wait to go back :D read more

This is the second time I've eaten here and it will be the last. The service was great, staff was friendly and they practice social distancing. My compliant is their food just way to salty for my palette. I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap with fries and everything was salty. The last time I ate here I had another dish (don't recall the name) but it was also salty. I also had broccoli and cheese and that was salty as well. read more

Amazing food, drink and price! Highly recomenmended. Me gustan muchos sus precios y su comida.

Cheddars is an all American cuisine that has comfort food for everyone. For appetizers we started with the fried onion rings that were stacked! It was so nicely prepared for us. I later decided to have the country fried chicken with mashed potatoes and the homemade Mac and cheese they're known for (my friend got the same thing) and we both loved it! The Mac and cheese was really cheesy and warm. This location is great with for big groups and is a really nice place to go out with friends. Waiters were highly attentive that I had no worries at all. read more

My wife, my daughter, and I had just finished a movie at Epic Theaters and wanted something to eat. We usually stop at a local seafood place; but, I had suggested Cheddar's to my wife, as we really like it. As on a prior visit, the parking lot was packed; but, surprisingly we were seated almost immediately. Brandon was our server; and, he took our drink orders right away. I got a Newcastle Brown Ale, which is one of my all-time favorite beers; but, that's another story of Hubb's Pub and Brews Around the World (echo effect on!) My wife got the Presidente Sangria, which she enjoyed very much; and, our daughter just had water. We started with the Croissants, which are drizzled with honey butter; are so flaky and tender; and, oh, so very very good. Our daughter got one with her Chicken Caesar Salad, so my wife and I had two each on the appetizer; and, she only had one. For mains, I ordered the Baby Back Ribs, which are so tender, tasty, smokey; they are just perfect. There were so many, I had to take half home; and, they were just as good the next day! My wife ordered the Bourbon Pork Chop, which was good; but, a tad dry. We had a great lunch; and, vowed to be back to revisit those HUGE Onion Rings, which we missed out on today. read more

In this restaurant review, I will review my experience at Cheddar's. This restaurant chain first opened in Irving, Texas, in 1979. Now, the franchise has more than 186 restaurants opened around the nation. This has to be one of my favorite restaurants ever. For a restaurant to be good, it has to be clean and have a beautiful ambiance. It also obviously has to have delicious food. This restaurant always has these things, no matter what location. When I went to this restaurant for the first time, I was impressed by how it looked inside. The restaurant's atmosphere is cozy because the lighting is dark and dim. What I mean by cozy is that it makes it relaxing and calm inside. I was also surprised that the majority of the servers are young adults. Which I like because it makes the environment feel better. All the servers at Cheddar's are kind to you. This is essential because I want to avoid mean people handling my food. This is why I would recommend this restaurant. Many of the employees at Cheddar's also speak Spanish, which comes in handy if you need this service. This restaurant's menu has a lot of varieties. So, even if you do not like their specialties, you will likely like what you ordered. They have meals from Shepherd's Pot to Shrimp Alfredo. This is also another reason why I recommend this excellent restaurant. I do not know how they make their meals, but they are delicious. I usually order their grilled salmon, which comes with two sides. I always get their broccoli and baked potato as my side. I recommend this dish because it has a unique and excellent taste. Besides, this dish brings a lemon, and grilled salmon with squeezed lemon is so delicious. But recently, I tried a new dish called Country Fried Chicken. As it sounds, it is one chicken breast with gravy and the choice of two sides. But, like always, I choose the same thing as the picture. So, I ordered it with mashed potatoes and green beans. I enjoyed this dish. I recommend it. In my opinion, it made me think of Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer. Since it was a southern meal. On Sunday, I went again and ordered the five-ounce grilled salmon. The salmon was soft or easy to chew, which is good. This time, instead of ordering the baked potato. I ordered their french fries, which were a little soggy. I do not like soggy fries because they are greasy. To drink, I ordered their raspberry iced tea, which tasted like raspberry. It was sweet and refreshing. I used a stopwatch on the phone, and the exact wait time was 12:58:30, which was not that long to wait for the food. Before the dishes come, they always give you croissants. The croissants were a little smaller than always but were still sweet and good. Our waiter was friendly. I do not remember her name, but she was attentive if we needed anything. In conclusion, I recommend Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen. It will never let you down. Thank you for taking the time to read this. read more

This morning after breakfast. I was thinking that chicken Caesar salad sounded really good for lunch. I thought to myself and I remember cheddars has a really good Caesar side salad. So I decided to go to cheddars for lunch. As I was looking at the menu for a chicken Cesar salad. And talking with my server who was very knowledgeable about the menu. She suggested having the chicken Caesar pasta salad. With substituting the grilled chicken and adding the fried chicken tenders on the salad. I took your advice and ordered my salad the way she suggested. It was exactly what I was looking for and tasted even better. My suggestion is that if you have any questions or any feelings of some type of specific meal. Ask your server and he or she may be able to help direct you in the path of having an amazing meal! read more
