We had an awesome time in my server was most amazing. This guy was so great my grandkids would love to sit with that table guy again in their words my husband was turning 61 years old and he made it a day of family lunching and I read him very high. It was amazing to be there. Thank you so kind for having people like him in place he showed that he loves his job to his actions and its ability to keep up with the table setting. read more

I'm new in town and I tried Cheddars for the first time. I know a lot of locals don't like it and are probably tired of it, but I REALLY liked it and had a great experience! I had the chicken penne pasta and it was maybe the best I've ever had! Oh, for starters, they gave us a croissant that was so amazing because it had honey and honey butter on it. Wow! That's how they roll. All of their portions are HUGE! They wifey had the Montecristo Sandwich. It was different and very delicious. Great service and amazing food. Can't wait to go back! read more

Dinner with my Aunt, Uncle, mother, father, sister, brother in law. 4 of these are elderly. Late 80s,. So you can't really get these people up and move them once seated. 7 full size adults. So what does the inept staff at the front desk do? They seat them at a booth for 6. Uh....really.? Did you flunk 2nd grade math? One of you gets to sit in the aisle like a step child. A chair in the aisle? I went home. They ate. I won't be back. And given the age of my parents and aunt and uncle, probably missed the chance forever. read more

Don't eat here if you have a food allergy. Came in this morning at 11:15, well before any kind of lunch rush. We asked for a gluten menu, as my girlfriend is severely allergic. We made it very clear that the salad we were ordering for her needed to be be gluten free, no candied pecans (just in case), and no croutons. The salad came out with no pecans, no croutons, and big freaking croissant on it. When you order something gluten free, off the gluten free menu, and explicitly state "I have a food allergy", how hard is it to not throw a huge piece of flaky bready gluten right on top of the dish? Oh yeah, and they delivered me the wrong salad too. read more

Servers were great, but several main dishes were on the wrong plates, one medium rare steak was cooked so thoroughly that it was difficult to cut through, and another medium rare was squirting blood. Kitchen management is obviously an issue. Definite pass. read more

When it comes to eating at American restaurants, honestly we don't eat at very many because I can easily cook American food at home. However, we always stop at this Cheddar's on our way home from the beach. The food is very reasonable priced and the selection is great. All of the kids meal are around $5 and include a free drink - What a deal! I always find that food is fresh and never over seasoned. The atmosphere in here is very nice too. I really enjoy the beautiful fish tanks. I saved the best part for last which are the HONEY BUTTER CROISSANTS. I usually try to stay away from carbs and rarely find that bread is a necessity. However, these croissants are an exception and a must have for me when dining at this Cheddar's. read more

Best Buffalo chicken tenders around. I ordered to go and the to go process is going to the bar and waiting on the bartender to get your order. Not the most efficient to go process as I was hoping to be in and out but did have to wait a while just to get my already prepared to go order. If the to go process was changed for easier pick up then for sure 5 stars. read more

Despite inflation they haven't noticeably raised their prices. Good food and service.

Food was great! I loved their country fried steak and meatloaf!!! Will come back to try other entrees. The broccoli casserole was awesome!!! read more

Food is good. Awesome service and the place is clean. Great for family get together. Will definitely come back

This was my first and last visit to Cheddars. We arrived at 5 PM on Wednesday. The restaurant was 25% busy at best and we still had to wait 10 minutes to be seated. Even with the main dining room so empty, the hostess seated us in the bar and there was no one there. It still took 10 minutes for someone to wait on us. Finally the bar tender stopped over. There are kiosks on every table to play games, etc. The bartender took our order. While waiting for for our order, we noticed the kiosk was filthy so we asked to have it removed from the table. The bar floor was littered with napkins, etc and there were spilled drinks on it. The Country Fried steak had about 1/4 pound of meat and 3/4 pound of breading. I'm not kidding! The green beans were green in color but not true green beans and they had some awful flavored syrup on them. The bartender was nice but didn't ask if we would like refills. My wife ordered a loaded bake potato with bacon but it arrived with none. This place is disgusting! read more

Slow service. Waited several minutes for a table and then for a waiter. Food was not great either.

Good variety on the menu. Good food. Handy to the Hampton Inn. Large dining area. Large bar with main menu available. Friendly staff.

Cheddar's has great food at a great prices. I ordered a maple grilled chicken sandwich with french fries. The food came out within about 15 minutes of order. I enjoyed the flavors and freshness of the meal, for dessert I ordered a monster chocolate chip cookies with a scoop of ice cream Togo. My waiter seem to have forgotten about me because I only received one drink and no refills. I had to wave my arms in the air once I seen her at a another table to get her to come back to my table and bring me my check. Cheddar's is no longer open in the city of Shreveport, where I reside. Once I notice one was near my hotel I wanted to visit. The experience overall was good. I will mostly return! read more

Arrived before the lunch crowd. Was able to get a seat right away although the hostess was not accommodating with our request. In fact she went the other direction and did the opposite of what we asked. Our Waitress was wonderful and the food was good although the quantity (on all our entrees) has gone down over the year. I will return but only if my other options are not available. read more

They are very confused. My wife called in our dinner order I then drove by to pick it up. I parked in one of their curbside spots. I wasn't sure how to proceed so I called my wife and told her to call them to let them know I was waiting for the order in spot 10. A women comes out and asks for my name. This same women walks back out about 15 minutes later and says they have no order for me. I called my wife back who then called Cheddar's and they told her they have no order for us. I tell the women to send out the manager. He came out and said oh I'm sorry not sure what happened but your orders been sitting in the kitchen. I found out from my wife that this same manager was very rude to her on the phone. Very poor service. Seems very unorganized at the process and that seems odd since we are now months into the Covid ordeal. read more

The food was amazing!! Our server was great and she was very helpful. The food came quick, great service. Definitely recommend this place! Madeline is the BEST!!! read more

I called and got a sassy remark about ordering to go over the phone, so I placed the order online. I waited for almost an hour and a half for the waiter to come out and forget half of our order. I only ordered 4 drinks and chips and queso. I do understand it was a Saturday but it was not busy. I get home and open the cheese dip container and it was only 1/4 full. read more

I was pleasantly surprised as this was my first visit to this chain. . I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Wrap grilled which was huge and delicious. The wife had the grilled fish taco which I also tried and they were also very tasty. We also had the Caesar salad which came with a croissant. The croissant stole the show as it was delightful. Still warm from the oven with a taste of honey and butter. It melted in my mouth and made me wish I had more. The salad was also good but the croissant was amazing. The service was spot on and we felt well taken care of. The staff was very friendly and made us feel at home. Would definitely come back! read more

Hmmm... where to begin. There was no wait (ate a late dinner @ 9:15), so was seated as soon as a table was cleaned off. The wait staff seems to be still getting a feel for things. We waited ten (10) minutes before the waiter even made it to our table to greet us. Not good, so I let him know. He actually took it quite well, apologized for the wait, took our orders & was on his way. From that point on, he remained very accommodating and nice. Service was still a little slow, but once we had drinks & an appetizer, we were good with it. The food... oh the yummo food! The chips & cheese. Great! (free beef for the cheese too). The spasagna was really good too (think spaghetti under lasagna, covered with cheese and a meat sauce). Tasty! The fall-apart roast beef was pretty decent too. It wasn't too dry, came w/ lots of potatoes/carrots and celery. Prices were really good, just read previous reviews & you'll see. Most main course items are $10 or less. Biggest complaint was waiting on slow service. The waiter seemed to get sidetracked easily & would forget things. Nice & unique atmosphere! Don't forget to ask about the guy peddling the bike to turn the fan in the main area. ;) read more

We were looking for late night dining and so we decided to stop by. Our server was friendly but that was the highlight of our dinner. I wasn't really blown away by the food. We were going to order the white fish plate but found out it's imported and not local. Plus I had never heard of that fish before. I ended up getting the bourbon salmon. It was okay. The mashed potatoes with white gravy where pretty good. We also ordered the grilled chicken with grilled shrimp. The shrimp was good. The black beans were pretty good. Overall it was kind of a meh experience that had the chain restaurant taste to it. I didn't love all of what I tried but it wasn't awful. read more

The food was good as usual. We had a party of 10, the service was fast, server friendly, all orders correct! Great job.

The bartender handling the to go orders was very friendly and helpful. However, one of my guests had her food brought out to her and they didn't bring her sweet tea, so she had to go back in the restaurant to get it, we were curbside after ordering in person. The portions of the sides are extremely small compared to what the my used to be. The extra side of green beans I purchased with my 8 oz steak and ribs dinner had only 10 half pieces of what did not look like green beans at all. We requested 57 steak sauce and did not get it. My daughter had the 6 oz sirloin and her steak was very chewy as well. I am not one to complain, but this Just was not worth the amount of money spent when we are on vacation. Very disappointed. read more

Great affordable restaurant. All of my food was great except the broccoli cheese casserole, it had way too much cheese. The Apple Crisp a la Mode is the best dessert EVER!!! It's seasonal so if you go to Cheddar's make sure you ask about it. read more

The food today was horrible! I ordered a hamburger and it arrived warm on the outside and cold in the center! The fries were also limp and cold.My mother ordered the chicken tender platter and it also was barely warm. This is a good way to get food poisoning. I sent my food back. If this were the first time I would probably give them another chance but last week I had the same experience. I can absolutely say that I won't return. read more

Decent enough, it's been about a year since I've eaten at this location. Service is down a bit comparatively, and they are serving a limited menu; both probably to do with COVID protocols still being in effect. Either way still good food at a reasonable price. They're probably a dollar or two higher than what you would expect to pay for the quality, but they make up for it in good atmosphere. read more

This place used to be really good. Not sure what happened. The last couple times we came our orders were wrong. Food was cold. Explained our concerns to our server she seemed like it was no big deal and never once offered to correct anything. Hopefully they improve. read more

The food was good. I tried their salmon and shrimp, it was well seasoned, my friend ordered steak. It was decent. The onion ring was on point!!!! Would come back to try different menu. read more

Again... I rarely review "chain" restaurants but when one stands out, good or bad, I like to let people know. For a chain, I was impressed with the menu. Of course.. the food, pictures, and descriptions can be considered "puffery" so one must proceed with caution. However, everyone in my party was very pleasantly pleased by the quality of the food provided. I had the Cajun Pasta and loved it. Another friend of mine had a burger and was impressed. The service was relatively prompt, the restaurant provided a nice atmosphere that made us comfortable, and the food was delicious. I'm not "dinging" the place for this but it's just a warning: they have one of those bizarre "Art Deco" sinks in the bathroom that you have to have a degree in engineering to figure out and a minor in Interpretive dance to make water flow. Overall.... good food. I'll definitely be back. read more

Finger licking good food! Tried peeling the kids hands off the rolls. So delicious. Our server was awesome. Perfect attitude as he was extremely busy. Loved the atmosphere and location.

Food was delicious and well priced! I had the country fried steak and my husband loved the chicken pot pie. Our server's name was Grace. She was awesome! Very sweet personality & very attentive to us and her other tables. Thank you Grace!! read more

Don't bother with chips and queso. It's fair to middling. The chicken pot pie is delicious.

I've been going to cheddars since high school, and while I typically frequent the Tampa location I thought I would visit the location in Pensacola as well while on a short vacation. I started off with the spiked strawberry lemonade. Delicious! Then my boyfriend and I shared the onion rings. We also ordered the Asian salad and the lemon pepper chicken. They were all very tasty, and the service was as usual, on point. I'm not going to lie though, half of the reasons why I order the salads is because of the honey butter croissant that accompanies the meal. Yes, I know you can order 3 at a time but I have to limit myself because I will eat them all and then have the nerve to order dessert like it's nothing. #fatontheinside read more

I love the food here, however this restaurant has some issues. I normally sit at the bar to eat because I usually go out alone at lunch however, over the last year that I have been going to this location and they have a problem. The bartender in a very very busy restaurant handles all of the seats at the bar a couple of tables, all of the to-go orders, and drinks for the entire restaurant. Not her fault, it is too much for one person. It makes the service very slow. They won't even allow bus persons to clear the dirty dishes at the bar! Are you serious? The bar is the most profitable area of a restaurant. You overburdened the bar and the prophets of the restaurant go down. That's a fact. I have also sat at tables, never got the second drink because they did not ask, also because the first came so slow there wasn't time to get a second. And I would have gotten a second. Loved the server, for what she was dealt, handled awwsome. Why would you put a bartender at a very busy restaurant in charge of to go orders instead of the hostess like 90 percent of all restaurants? You are ultimately reducing business profitability! Tired of waiting for drinks. read more

My husband and I were here tonight, sitting at the bar waiting for the two bar staff members to serve us and while both of them made eye contact with us, neither one made the effort to ask us if we knew what we wanted to order after sitting there for 10 min. There were only 4 other people sitting at the bar enjoying their drinks. The customer service was abysmal. We will not return to this Cheddar location ever. read more

Took hubby here for Father's Day. Service and food was awesome! He said his steak was tasty!

Since my last review I've come here regularly. Though some of my favorites from the menu are gone, everything we've had has been great. Tried everything from steaks, fish, shrimp, salads, sandwiches, and all of the sides. Can't go wrong with the spinach dip app or queso either. Their lunch combos are also great! We usually sit at the bar and always have phenomenal service. Highly recommend the painkiller or texas tea for alcoholic beverages :) read more

Food was really good & place was clean & nice. Great service too! Will definitely stop again when in Pensacola!
