I begged my boyfriend not to bring me here because it's so awful! But since i hadn't been here in some time i decided sure why not, let's give it a try. But nope. My burger was pink , the place was so dirty a lot of servers have their airpods in having a full on conversation with someone over the phone. (not very discreetly either) Not sure why the host decided to sit us at such a messy table. She also seem like she didn't care or bother to acknowledge that their was a mess under the table nor did she offer some place cleaner to sit. Our server wasn't any better forgot many things and seemed to be rushing us to order. If i could give this place zero stars i would. I never did see a manager on the floor directing anyone to clean or do anything really. Overall awful, for sure NEVER coming back. read more

I walked in about 1:17pm and could find a seat in the bar area that wasn't dirty full of dishes or food crumbs. Let me paint the picture for you there are 11 booths (only 1 was open) 4 round tables with 4 chairs (all were nasty. The bar had 13 seats with 4 occupied (all the others were nasty and not ready for customers. I have been sitting now 10 minutes without a menu oops just got it. Everyone who has sat after me has silverware. This is the funny part; two 4 person groups that arrived after me have already gotten their order taken. This is sooooo disappointing... Well I hope they can't mess up my chips and Queso. I will see....They did not mess up; however, their chips could better and not all stuck together or broken. The salsa -a little too salty. Well my main course is the Salmon (lite side of menu-580 cal) Miso Salmon meal. The salmon it has good flavor and seasoned nicely. The Miso sauce was not bad (had like a sweet and sour taste with a twang). The ginger rice was very tasty. The steam broccoli was hot but over cooked. When I put the broccoli in my mouth it had the feel/taste of mash potatoes. I give them the 1 Star not because it's the lowest star that I can give but that Queso was good. read more

We brought some customers here for lunch since it was close to the ship channel and I was very pleasantly pleased as we have a Cheddars in GA but not the same. A large place and a traditional bar and grill atmosphere, we sat in the bar area with about 6 of us. Our server was spot on and got us going quick which I like. Food selection was large- so some had a light fish and veggie plate which was quite good, and there was a great BBQ burger, and other craft burgers and I had a chicken pecan salad that was not only huge, very tasty. Another had a grilled shrimp salad, also large and very good according to the crowd. Very crowded, convenient location just off the beltway so highly recommend for lunch or dinner if in the area. read more

We ordered takeout here a couple of nights ago. Unfortunately, the chips to our artichoke (Santa Fe) dip were missing along with the sauce for the salmon we ordered. Nonetheless, my husband wanted something from there 2 days later. I figured why let one mistake keep us from returning. I called and asked then to just add the chips and dip to the order tonight since we didn't get to enjoy the ones we paid for. The manages was RUDE and had EXTREMELY poor customer service. He told me he could not look up my previous order using my online receipt that they sent to me and had an oh well attitude. He kept questioning me as though I was making this up. He even questioned whether i had placed an order for tonight as I indicated to him. WE WILL NOT RETURN. I value customer service and business being open to correcting mistakes...especially with such a simple request. read more

My coworker would not stop talking about the croissants from Cheddars so when there was an outing planned at work, I was in. This Cheddars is off of the Beltway after Vista. We made plans to get there by 12 on a Saturday morning. We were seated pretty quickly although we were a group of 10. I ordered the croissants(of course), and of course they were wonderful! I LOVED their buttery taste. As my entree I ordered the Tilapia with mango sauce with a side of broccoli and red beans, the meal comes with rice. My meal was oh so GREAT!!!! I enjoyed it so much I was tempted to order dessert, but thankfully was able to resist! lol. The service was pretty good although they were a little slow serving the food, or maybe I was just too hungry to wait? I am definitely a fan of Cheddars and cant wait to go back and try their drinks! I hear they're as awesome as the food!! read more

We would like to thank Noah B for exceptional service. He was very nice and helpful. The food was very good also. read more

The country fried steak was delicious! I thought they would use some frozen Sysco crap, but nope, I was surprised and happy they made it themselves. Definitely coming back soon, quality of the food is very good. read more

me and my friends ate here and overall the service was OK but the food was terrible. The croissants were good and we ordered the trio appetizer and the chips were stale and cold and we asked for more chips and got more style and cold chips. chicken tenders were a little off. I had the shrimp Alfredo, and the pasta was bland, and the shrimp didn't seem cooked all the way through or they were overcooked. read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen...as in, scratch it off your list. It pains me to write this, because everyone in our family has always LOVED Cheddar's! But give them 3 months off for a pandemic and they forget how to cook, I guess. We were all very disappointed. Don't get me wrong...we were all very grateful they were open and hosting sit-down dinner. They are operating a reduced menu, which we can totally understand under the circumstances. (I won't write about the several favorite menu items they had already taken off the menu before the pandemic!) But today, the food was just not good. Not a single one of us (family of 6) was content with our meal. My son ordered grilled white fish that I would bet my paycheck was grilled chicken, and no one at the table could say it wasn't chicken. We still don't know if they messed up the order or if that was white fish! My oldest daughter ordered the cheeseburger that was so overcooked that she couldn't chew parts of it. My steak was also overcooked to the point of well-done (I asked for medium). The mashed potatoes on all the plates were bland and the broccoli and cheese casserole?...well, I used to have dreams about how delicious this tasty side dish was, but it seems they changed the way they make it! Nooo!! It reeked of Campbell's soup and NOT the awesome homemade, chunky-broccoli/creamy-cheddar side of awesomeness I had come to expect from the place. We will definitely give them another chance once this all settles down, but for now, I wouldn't waste a precious night out on eating at this location. read more

My second encounter with a manger from this place and it was trash. He treated my husband and I as if we didn't matter. We get underestimated alot because of how young we look. We asked for a seasonal beer, our server Oscar said it was Oktoberfest so we said okay. The manger brought it out and said "Sam Adams?" I looked at my husband and asked if he was okay with it. He looked at the manger and said," I thought it was Oktoberfest on draft" and the manger's smart remark was," it's January!" Shook his head and walked off without offering us another option No crap it's January! That's why we were excited. But that just killed our night. Shout out to the manager on duty tonight. . . 2 stars bc our server was was nice but management blows. read more

I recently went to Cheddar's (Nasa Parkway area for lunch with a group of my friends. I hadn't been there for about 10 years, but I was a little leery because of the ratings on here. Everything was excellent. I had no complaints. Everyone at our table was very pleased. My husband and I went there the next night. We haven't been out to eat much since the pandemic, but we will add it to the group of restaurants that we enjoy. read more

I placed an online order and was given an arrival time for 2:21pm. So I arrived beforehand and confirmed my arrival. I called at 2:27pm and was told my food was ready and would be out. At 2:50pm, I walked into the restaurant. I spoke with the manager and got no apology or explanation, just attitude. Since my food was cold, I canceled my order. read more

My first time at this location and the service from Westly was great! The portions are huge. They are obviously the social distancing ordinance. The Strawberry margaritas was a little weak but i didn't expect much for $5. read more

So I stopped coming to cheddars because the service was lacking and quality of food was going down in my opinion. My friends wanted to go here so I decided to give them a shot to redeem their selves. Okay well they did!! Haley was our server and she was so quick and attentive and just amazing! Going out to eat at places lately has been hard with everyone being understaffed and stressed. I've had some horrible experiences before but she was just perfect! Me and my girls had a great time. And the food was much better than before ! Definitely can't wait to come back ! read more

Service was ok. I had to send back my chicken fried chicken twice. First time the chicken was rubbery. Took about 20-25 min to get my chicken again. Second time it was FOUL. The chicken was pink! The manager came over and took the chicken fried steak off the ticket & gave his half off our full meal, but it should've been free at this point. read more

It was my first time at Cheddar's and I loved it! The Honey Butter croissants were to die for and me and my friends ordered another batch! I ordered the Lighter Side Salmon which came on top of rice, as well as with two sides. For the sides I ordered steamed broccoli and macaroni and cheese. The salmon was amazing and the rice had a lot of flavor. The steamed broccoli was also good and the macaroni and cheese was decent. I was very happy with the price of this meal because usually salmon is more expensive. I also really enjoyed the versatility of the menu. My friends ordered Alfredo pasta and ribs. On top of this our server was excellent. He was quick and very attentive. Will definitely come back to try something new! read more

We were here at 2:15 pm in a Tuesday and there were not many people. Waited a long time for the hostess to show up to be seated. Sat at our table for 15 minutes. No one offered drinks. Waitress passed by only 1 time in 15 minutes but never even acknowledged us. Got up to leave. Won't be back. read more

My wife's salad with grilled chicken was rubbery. The broccoli cheese was like leftover heated up again and again. No good

5 stars for nice service, cleanliness, good food and good prices. I'm surprised it has less stars. Went on a Sunday evening. I got the 6oz steak w/sweet potato and cole slaw ($10) - it was really good. I just wish I got the 8oz instead lol. My nephew got the club sandwich ($8) which was really good too. Painkiller was a good drink. The restaurant is really nice too. I wish I took a picture. read more

Good common fair. The coleslaw with my shrimp is the best and it is homemade at the restaurant. We like this place when we are having a late lunch and not during the rush times. Every one pitches in from the hostess to the bus persons to make sure you are taken care of and have a pleasurable meal. read more

I've passed by Cheddar's hundreds of times, it always seems to be crowded. I thought surely they are doing something right. Decided to check it out tonight. I had no explications, had no idea what to expect. Looking at the other diners, seemed to be a bit of an older crowd, but that's ok. The menu is pretty diverse, a little bit of everything. I settled on the BBQ chicken. Comes with two sides, I got a salad and corn. The salad was $1 extra. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. Can totally see coming back. Our server told the manager it was our first time there and he brought my wife and I two chocolate chip cookies! read more

The food is amazing! I really love the croissants there the sweet butter really tops it off!

Husband was very disappointed. He's been doing super on his diet and this was his cheat meal. They forgot the fries, sauce, a salad, and the chicken tenders was so dry and overcooked. read more

One of the best places to eat in Pasadena. Inexpensive, large portions and an attentive staff. Two thumbs up. read more

This is one of those places you can go for a diner style meal, in a restaurant chain type of way. You know the kind of place that serves the usual comfort food, chicken fried steak, catfish (fried, blackened, or grilled), chicken pot pie - BUT, with a bar and some interesting (and potent) mixed drinks. They also take some of those meals and add their own twist to make it their own - try the Dijon Chicken. The chicken pot pie is one of my favorites. Although it's not the best place I know to get homestyle cookin', I'd still give it 3 1/2 stars, but that's not an option (and it just isn't a 4 star for me.) I would recommend and I will return. read more

Don't get the fried shrimp. It LOOKED good but the shrimp was not cooked on the inside. Was told that they probably fried it frozen. Got very sick afterwards. Also, the waitress was nice but never came back after she served the food. Would have loved ice tea refills. read more

On October 23, 2021, I ordered a steak curbside. Ordered it medium well. When, I got home the steak was so bloody that I had to come home & take out skillet to cook it. So, , everything else was cold by then. I didn't expect to spend $14.97 & have to come home & recook my steak. Boo! Cheddar's you really fell short on my order. So, be sure & check & make sure your order is done before leaving. read more

Not many vegetarian options. Salad is not a "veggie" plate. Most sides have animal additives.

Food was all very good, the service was pretty good, and we enjoyed our visit very much! Party of 8 on a Friday night and everything was great! Several in our group commented on how much they enjoyed it. read more

Love this place especially the chips and queso ! Make sure if it's your first time to sign up to get the free chips your first order.

I am extremely disappointed in the service we received today (my birthday). I was absolutely disgusted to find a cockroach floating inside my Texas Tea!! This must be a normal issue for them as they were quick to snatch the drink out of my hand before I could get a picture of it! To make matters worse after the manager coaxed me into continuing our dinner my husband's chicken fried chicken had a long hair in it. At this point we just decided to leave. They offered us gift certificates to return but they are as good as trash to me now. read more

The Cheddars chain of restaurant in Texas had always intrigued me but I failed to ever visit one due to having formed the opinion that they must only serve dishes made entirely of Cheese. Stupid I know but, my logic said it must be true. At this point I must give thanks to that other Texan institution, 'The House of Pies'. When i visited that place I was expecting to sit down to gorge on Steak & Kidney or Mushroom & Chicken pies or even that holy grail, "The Sheperd's Pie". I was mortified to discover that none of that manna was present on their menu. Quiche, Tart, Tres Leches and Meringue ARE NOT PIES!! HoP left me mentally scarred and I vowed never to return. The upside of this was I was forced to reconsider my opinion of Cheddars as being slightly lopsided. So finally ..... I went to Cheddars. I loved it and at the same time was devastated that I had failed to ever visit here during all my time in Texas. Bumma. Cheddars has a well balanced menu and their staff are polite, efficient and speedy with it. I had the Beer battered Shrimp (yeah, i know, anything with alcohol) and it was perfect. We sat at the bar and were served rapido and I even got the chance to taste Jaire's Tilapia with mango sauce. It was yummy. The whole ambiance of the location was perfect and some of that was probably to do with my companion and, to top it off, Jaire picked up the tab. I can't add a star for that but, hey! ..... If you have never been then you are missing out .... it knocks the crust off House of Pies for sure. read more

I was visiting from California and I loved this place! The honey croissants they give you are amazing! We order Maui margaritas and they were good. I order salmon over rice and it was delicious I do think the portion could be improved. Excellent service. I think Chase took care of us and I really hope I have his name correct cuz he was great!! Definitely coming back when I'm in Houston again. Please consider opening in California! read more

First time here and I will be back. The restaurant was nice and the staff were great. There were quite a few of us on this visit and the waitress was always nice and didn't mess up any of our orders. The food is delicious and there is so much to choose from. The cheese balls were amazing and their drinks were perfect, not too strong or watered down. read more

Recently, we moved the SE area of Houston. We aren't in any of the nice suburbs, so we end up going back into town or just recently, we started exploring the Pasadena area. I am shocked but Pasadena is actually flourishing. Anyways, I was driving on Beltway when we looked over and was shock to see a Cheddar's. It had been over 3 years since myself or Hanh had been and we both looked at each other and was like the croissants are so good! So we told ourselves this was what we were going to have for dinner. We got there and sure enough the croissants were still up to what we had remembered. We also ordered some of the combos, I really did forget how affordable this place is. You can get steak and ribs for ~$13 bucks? with two sides! It's not the best by any means, but it is decent and a damn good value. read more

I'm definitely a fan of Cheddars! This place is ALWAYS packed when I drive by. So I'm not the only one that feels this way! Ever since it opened, it stays busy. One of my FAVORITE items to order are their honey butter croissants! They are truly HEAVEN!!! I could go there and just order a few of those and be completely happy! They are fresh and they melt in your mouth! I usually order the Chicken Fried Chicken with green beans and mashed potatoes. I really like that you can order their lunch-size portions for dinner as well! I loved their mashed potatoes. Very tasty!! My boyfriend usually orders the Fried Catfish lunch portion and he loves it too. Their lunch portions are very filling. Their prices are VERY reasonable too. We sometimes order appetizers. We have tried the onions rings and queso. Both were very good! I was surprised the queso would be sooooo yummy since it's not a Mexican restaurant. We will definitely be back! read more

You have got to be kidding! A busy Sunday afternoon and we scored an awesome, excellent waitress in Hannah R.! Listen up CHEDDARS you have excellent food but your waitstaff makes it easy to rave about. We were a party of 6 which included 2 children. They had the chicken fingers with fries which they rated the best. 2 adult orders of Buffalo chicken wraps with fries that were too big to eat in one sitting. My wife had the dish taco which she thoroughly enjoyed. The final order was the beer battered shrimps which had to be good if this beef eating Texan said so. Let me repeat that these awesome meals were bumped to the 5th Star because of our waitress Hannah! read more

We love going to Cheddar's as a family. There's plenty of free parking. Depending on when you go & size of your dining party, there's usually a wait. For appetizer, I usually get the chips & queso (free ground beef & unlimited chips). Nice sized portions. Wide drink & food selection. Usually too full to even get dessert. Our favorite server at the Pasadena location is James. He's very attentive & personable. read more
