    fillet and Loaded Baked Potato W/ Bacon
    Braeden C.

    My girlfriends grandma was in town from north texas so naturally we had to bring her to a respectable spot near where she is staying. This is a sit down place but they offer carry out too. There is a ton of seating from tables to booths. The center dining area features a pretty large fish tank and other cool things that are very cool to see. They even feature a full bar on the left end of the restaurant! We walked in and were greeted right away and lead to our table for our group of 7 people! Our server was very quick to our booth and took drink orders right away as well. I grabbed a water as well as everyone else and my girlfriend and her twin sister grabbed some margaritas! The waters came quick and the margaritas were not far behind. The margaritas were served with a shot of some sort and the margaritas themselves were frozen which we all thought was kind of cool. They both did note that the drinks were tasty and rather potent which i would say is a great thing haha. We then grabbed an order of cheese curds that everyone shared. they were rather tasty and had a nice sauce served with them as well! Mind you none of these wait times have been super long at all which was awesome. After that we ordered all of our food and probably waited around 15 minutes for all 7 of our orders to come out, pretty speedy if you ask me. I got the buffalo chicken wrapper and a side of coleslaw. My girlfriend grabbed a fillet and a baked potato with bacon! This is what we usually get when we come here so of course we knew it would be good which it was! The coleslaw is great by the way if you're a fan of that niche community of people that enjoy coleslaw! The only thing that was subpar was my girlfriend's steak came definitely on the medium rare side and she had wanted it medium well. I am mentioning this because our server was quick to come check on us and she mentioned it to him and he was very understanding and brought it back to the kitchen to be fixed and it came back probably 5 minutes later looking much more to her liking. Very professional and polite by them and that is huge in my book! I believe we paid right around $55 before tip which is very reasonable to me at a sit down joint. I consider anything below $50 for 2 people going out and sitting down to eat to be cheap so $55 for great food/ drinks and service is nothing i would ever complain about. Cheddars in pleasant prairie has always been a total knockout spot for us for a long time! We always leave full and extremely happy and satisfied. We have never had a bad experience here! Only thing worth noting is on the weekends and friday i would plan accordingly or call ahead because they do tend to be pretty busy during those times ! Besides that this is a must try and a common staple for our date night stops!

    One of my favorite places to eat! Upon approaching the building there are one set of doors with seating and the another set of door and a hostess area with additional seating. There is a fish tank on the wall to the left as you go down the walkway to the washroom. In the seating area/room to the left there is a bar. We all ordered ice water except one ordered Dr Pepper. My water came out with a dirty cup in which Serena quickly switched out for me. Even as I asked our server Serena what she recommend we did choose our favorites. Serena was very knowledgeable and provided many great options. One of which was the salmon which she also advised is a great seller. We started with the complimentary house Honey Butter crossaints. We then ordered a second order of crossaints and our choice appetizer was the chips and queso. We all ordered the double country fried chicken, two had double mashed and one had mashed and fries and ice water. We also asked for extra gravy. The last one chose the chicken tenders with fries and loaded mashed potatoes and a Dr. Pepper. One of the meals came out with double mashed potatoes instead of the mashed potatoes and fries. They quickly provided the fries that were ordered to be sure the order was correct. The restaurant is dimmer lit and inviting. Not too dim. The menu is clear and easy to read (and clean). This location is capable of handling large groups. As I was not feeling my best I did not this time, but I generally order the Cheddars Painkiller which is soo tasty in fact so good that there is a limit of 2. If you're looking for a good meal with a large portion at a fair value Cheddars is a perfect option.

    The online waitlist is very helpful. The bartender and our server was exceptional. She was able to anticipate our needs, was friendly, polite, provided exceptional communication and prompt service. The restaurant was spotlessly clean and comfortable. The drinks were large, well made, and just like the tasty food were priced at much better than competitive prices!

    Okay, felt like comfort food today and what came to mind? Cheddars Scratch Kitchen which always comes through with delicious, generously portioned, comfort food. Excellent service, wether dining in or curbside pickup. Did I mention, price is also reasonable especially with the large portion servings. Add to that caveat', they add these extraordinary delicious Croissants, that are mouthwatering delicious but also so fresh, like they came right out of the oven. Today, I had my fav, Buffalo Chicken Wrap with a side of Southern Green Beans (Yummy) and my husband had the Chicken Tender Meal with Broccoli Cheddar Casserole and the Green Beans for his side ... one word sums it all up, SCRUMPTIOUSLY Delicious. We will be back again and again and again. The restaurant ambiance is always well maintained also.

    Food was good. Service was extremely slow. Took forever for drinks and appetizers. Server was very attentive. Nice and clean. No wait to be seated.

    So we come here often to sit at the bar and watch football, but that may stop as I was told they are going to stop serving PROSECCO!!! Who stops serving Prosecco? That's like a go to wine for women. They seem to have made their menu smaller. My husband said his ribs were okay, but he's had better. I had a burger which was tasty. My husband had 2 beers, I had 2 Prosecco's, my husband ate ribs, and I ate a burger and our bill was $62.

    After last night's birthday meal my lovely wife took me to, I have made a decision…read more If I gave in to my extremely worst impulses about someone I absolutely despise, I'd do it in a state where there's a death penalty. I'd waive all appeals, request an expedite on me getting permanently factory reset, and ask for my last meal to be the Steak Fajitas from Iguana Wana Mexican Grill and Tequila Bar. Of the hundreds of Mexican Restaurants I have been to in my 52 years, the BEST Steak Fajitas are at this restaurant. The seasoning was absolute perfection. The meat was as tender as could be. The sizzle never seemed to end. The Mexican rice was also the best I have ever had. The beans were great as was the guacamole. All their salsas were perfect. The margarita was to die for! I need to go knock over a bank or something so I could go eat there everyday. I think I'm in love. . Oh, and the server was super helpful, friendly and professional.

    This cannot be called Mexican food! Perhaps fusion, tex-mex or other but not authentic Mexican…read more I visited the restaurant again after years since they opened hoping for improvement or change. There has been no improvement, and the latter was for the worst. The first sign was how empty it was on a Friday evening. Let's start with our service. Awkward, silent, miserable and a bad way to start dinner. Our server looked like she did not want be there. She was silently awkward, noticeably miserable and never once went beyond 2-3 words at a time. We ordered mojitos and margaritas, all made of mostly fruit puree. Realizing it was a mistake coming here, we ordered entrees to get the evening over with. Our food was the biggest disappointment. The quesabirria tacos were bland, lacked salt and the consomé was nothing but red broth. The food truck in town that specializes in this would have tasted better. The chicken dish was the opposite. Nothing but salt in a cream sauce so you couldn't really taste anything but salt. Hoping to be full of something I tried the rice. It looked like it had been partially ground and tasted like cumin out of a jar. We left hungry, extremely disappointed and upset we paid for such service and "food". We will not be returning.

Food is always served piping hot, we love the pulled pork and usually get the XXL meal which includes your choice of two side and drink. We have purchased plastic cups where we bring with us each time and get a discount on our drinks. Portions of the meat are very generous, the sides other than fries are just about a cup. My husband enjoys the mac n cheese and the fresh (never frozen) fries are made when you order them. The dining room is always clean and there are a variety of 6 sauces to choose from on the tables. Seasonal sides are great too! We particularly enjoy the banana pudding and strawberry shortcake.m, although portions are small. Last time we were there, I tried the sweet corn and it wasn't great and had zero flavor. A rare miss in terms of food offerings. We also tried the bbq shrimp and the salmon, both are excellent. Highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking barbecue.

    Excellent casual dining experience, we love the tacos, green pazole soup and the hipster burrito!…read moreAll the staff are awesome and efficient and very nice.Good cocktails too!

    I want to start by saying that our server Sydney P was excellent. She was friendly, checked on us…read moreoften and had our experience been based on that- it would have been 5 stars! Unfortunately, that is not usually the case with service at El Camino. My husband and I had not gone back in a couple of years after they opened because of consistently bad and rude service. Their food was fine but even the best food isn't good paired with a bad overall experience. We decided to give them another try a few months ago and even though the service was a little better- it wasn't worth keeping them on our weekly rotation. My husband, daughter and I had gone there for dinner on Tuesday and as I said had a wonderful server. Both my daughter and I have had their steak tacos (filet and skirt), even though the flavor was fine, they leave the pieces SO LARGE that you chew forever on a bite of taco. This is not to mention that the tortilla does not hold up well to bites into these large clunky pieces. Because of this, I started ordering the Barbacoa tacos since that is shredded beef. However, my daughter doesn't like Barbacoa so she requested the cooks cut the meat smaller. The food came out and the pieces of steak were as big as ever. When I say that this could be a choking hazard for the best of eaters (let's forget about seniors, children, or people that may have dental issues) I mean these pieces are nearly the size of dice. We asked for a steak knife so that my daughter could finish prepping her own food (though she is not an employee of El Camino, apparently those who get paid to cook there, don't have to accommodate special requests of using their chef knives to cut steak before putting in tacos. As I watched her spend about 10 minutes deconstructing 2 of her 3 tacos and cutting up the meat and putting them back together (as it was getting cold), I asked for a manager. Nick came over to our table with a strange attitude. I said "Are you the manager?", as he did not introduce himself...at all!, he said "yes". I started by explaining that we asked for the meat to be cut smaller. He then starts to get defensive and argumentative saying how "everyone loves that dish", "everyone orders that dish", "There are NEVER any complaints about that dish". I had to interrupt him to explain that we were NOT complaining about the dish but the prep of the meat. He then says "Maybe that dish isn't for you". I said "So NONE of the steak taco dishes are for us because not only our request for safe size pieces was not accomodated but you are telling me that we take it or leave it???" He continued to talk over me and arguing until my daughter (who is very quiet and laid back) got mad and started explaining to him that he shouldn't be talking to his customers that way. Her and her husband order to go often and she explained that at home, she deconstructs her tacos, takes kitchen shears to cut the meat and then has to put them in the microwave to warm them up. Just because people don't complain doesn't mean they aren't unhappy about it. Instead of Nick listening and understanding what we were trying to do, he continued to talk over my daughter, and then snaps at her with "I'LL JUST TAKE IT OFF!". That set my daughter off. None of us needed nor wanted a free meal. We didn't ask for it, nor want it. We told him that. He finally asked what we wanted. I said that all I wanted was to share a suggestion of not only talking to his kitchen staff about accommodating COMPLETELY REASONABLE REQUESTS but to share with the other management our suggestion. That's it. We told him several times that we weren't complaining about the flavor, just the prep and that everything else was fine including the excellent service and that he, NICK, and NICK ALONE has ruined it for us. By the way- the ONLY way I knew his name is that I had to ASK HIM for it... We will NOT be back nor will my daughter and her husband order take out anymore. The food is fine but definitely not worth the complete disregard and disrespect of their customers! There are SO MANY better places that appreciate our business! Nick was on the right track- maybe EL CAMINO is not right for us....or anyone else.
