We drove over an hour to eat here only to be disappointed. I understand that the restaurant is short staffed, but to be quoted 40 minutes to be seated and ended up waiting two hours for a seat is ridiculous. When another customer in the lobby asked how much longer his table was gonna be, after waiting over an hour, the manger snidely stated that they were short staffed and offered him a job. Who does that? read more

I had the read the bad reviews on Yelp about Cheddar's but decided to give it a try anyways. Since it was the first time we've ever been there. Now I can say for myself, they were all true. We were a party of 6, came in at 9:20pm (they close at 10pm) After we ordered, they waitress came back a few minutes later to tell us that there were no lemons for our water, no alfredo sauce for my son's pasta and no 8oz sirloin steaks only 16oz steaks. My husband ordered a Samuel Adam's beer and they waitress brought him a seasonal beer. My daughter ordered a side of mac & cheese, and was brought a side of mashed potatoes. The appetizer we ordered never made it out of the kitchen. And the food that we did receive, was terribly bad. No need to say that we are never going back to Cheddar's. Ever. read more

Ordered curbside pickup. Order was 10 minutes late but not complaining about that. I ordered a salad bowl of soup and country fried chicken. The salad was all over the bottom of the bag, the soup was not even half a serving, only about an inch in the container and the dinner was missing the gravy. Probably last time I'll go there read more

My famliy came here for dinner and everything we had as delicious. There were 16 of us and we were seated in same area with no problem. The restrooms were clean and staff was very friendly. I had the bourbon salmon served over rice with broccoli and cheese casserole and loaded mashed potatoes. My husband had the country fried chicken and both dishes were largely portioned and tasted awesome!!! The cheddar cheese fries and honey glazed croissants were to die for!!! Overall, you can never go wrong with Cheddars...great food for a reasonable price. read more

The one and only time we went there we were FREEZING and the service was very slow. Will give it another try.

Great food and atmosphere. Excellent service. We are regulars. Something for every taste.

We've lived in Pooler going on 10 years and finally decided to eat at the Cheddars here. NOT our first Cheddars just the first time in Pooler. We ordered for takeout and the first thing I noticed when we get home is the way overcooked Sirloin steak, the edges were curled up and the steak tough and dry, oh and by the way I ordered a Ribeye medium rare, not a Sirloin. The Loaded mashed potatoes tasted like boiled peanut shells, the bacon in it was so hard it was impossible to chew without the possibility of breaking a tooth. My wife enjoyed her Country Fried Chicken. They also did not put the caramel and coconut toppings on our Carrot Cake dessert which was just ok. Probably won't eat there again. read more

Garbage food. The menu is huge, and it is cheap.... which is why it is always packed. The service is horrendous, I had an hour+ wait at LUNCH. If you enjoy good food and service, stay away. read more

It's right next to us and we have only ate there twice and both times the food was less than mediocre and it took forever. The last time we ordered just a piece of cake, my daughter and I walked over when they said it was ready, we stood and waited for a hour, asked about the progress more than once with no help and once I got it home the cake was dry as could be. Never again.. read more

This restaurant was great ! In a nutshell : the drinks were strong and affordable , the food was hot and delicious and the croissants !!!!!! Cons : bad service due to the abundance of customers and lack of servers read more

3 stars because the wait was forever and our server only checked on us like once and took forever to even bring our drinks out. But man this New Orleans Pasta is so bomb. Right amount of spice, sauce and meats. There's chicken, sausage and shrimp in it and I'm currently experiencing a total foodgasm. Definitely worth a try when you come here. read more

The food is really enjoyable! Well made and tasty food. They boast a "scratch" kitchen, I do agree that there is a homey feel to the meals. This is one place I do like to get desert as well. Portions are large enough to share and always well prepared. This is the type of place you leave saying, "that hit the spot". We have been quite a few times now and we hope to be back many more. read more

Our family visited Cheddar's on a Wednesday evening around 5:30pm and we had a small (about 30 min) wait. We had visited a different location in another state and we had a wait then as well so I'm thinking that Cheddar's is just one of those restaurants where you will most likely have to wait regardless of time you are visiting. Anywho, when it comes to the food, I am in LOVE with the honey butter croissants they give you upon being seated! Omg, I could eat 3 or 4 of them at once. I ordered a steak with bacon smashed potatoes and honey carrots. My steak was very well seasoned! I honestly think they seasoned it better than Longhorn. I didn't use any steak sauce as I didn't need any. My carrots were sweet how I like them and the potatoes were ok, they weren't very tasty but they weren't the best either. Hubby had Shrimp Alfredo pasta which he loved. And kids had chicken fingers which they liked but I didn't get a picture of those. Also I love their strawberry lemonade! It is very flavorful and they put real strawberries in it as well. They also have reasonably priced margaritas (under $5) but we didn't partake in any. Service was mediocre as well. Overall I love Cheddar's and will be visiting again. read more

Amazing if you go try the Monte Cristo and Cheese Curds with Carmel sauce you won't regret it

honestly, the food was ok. however when it came to my desert it almost never came. Ordered the desert at the beginning. my server said they would bring it out a little later because my desert had ice cream. We get our food, we eat and then the server comes with the check. So i asked about the desert, she forgot to put it in. So she said she put it in however at this point i do not believe she did. We waited a little over half an hour for a cookie. With multiple excuses and even the manager coming to the table saying that they burned the cook and it would be Another 5 mins(it was way longer) and when they finally gave us the cookie, i was told i would receive a gift card through email in a matter of moments. This happened July 30th. and it is now August 2nd with no gift card in sight and my time wasted. read more

David Light, the manager, allowed a very large group of people to take over the dining room ruining my wife's and my 46 wedding anniversary. We were on a small table next to this group. Many adults from the group were standing and or milling around talking and their children were running around. Their noise was was very disturbing. This event should have taken place far from the main dining room Mr. Light, you should be fired! This was my 46th anniversary ruined by your ineptedtude. I contacted your corporate. My wife should NEVER HAD PAID THE BILL! YOU RUINED OUR NIGHT AND ALL OF YOUR HALF-HEARTED APOLOGIES WILL NOT BRING THAT NIGHT BACK TO US! read more

Great experience here! The food was amazing even though we had a semi complicated order with the pasta it still came out exactly how we asked. Our server, Treasure, was truly great! Her customer service was above and beyond and if I could recommend her a million times, I would. THANKS TREASURE! read more

Y'all..... I was so excited to find a Cheddars here. I loved the one in Columbus, however, it was no where near as good. One word to describe the food. Dry. Dryyy dry dry. The broccoli cheese casserole tasted days old and like it was thrown under a warmer to heat up. I got the Buffalo chicken wrap, and well they forgot the Buffalo sauce on it... it was just an all around disappointment. The one good thing were the butter croissants. I could have just ate those as the meal. Hopefully they step their game up . read more

Oh how I love Cheddars!! It was super busy but my coworker and I were able to sit at the bar and order! At first we weren't greeted as we sat down, as there were 2 workers there and I felt some type of way but I was super hungry. I decided to do the Dijon chicken with string beans and broccoli casserole as my two sides. Delicious! The flavor was soooo good and was amazing! Our waitress was super nice and I think she was trying to get us drunk before our flight lol! I ate half my meal to leave room for dessert and had the legendary monster cookie! I treated myself for the hard work I put in working out the last 2 weeks! Well deserved and was soooo good! Cheddars has yet to really disappoint and the prices are awesome! read more

Good food and price. Go early if you can as it gets crowded quickly. Tip for parents of small children and infants - get seated close to fans. read more

3.5 stars. You can't get better value that this place. The bill for 6 adults and 1 child was under $100 for dinner. The portions are large and the food is actually decent. It's a glorified large diner. Family friendly and very large booths. Nice lively atmosphere as well. I had a steak dinner with 2 sides and I think it cost $15 at most. read more

I never had been to one before and today for lunch I did and had the country fried chicken steak with mash and green beans. Now the fried steak and the mash potatoes also the gravy was amazing and delicious, but the beans? Lord help me! I never in my life known to put or had someone think it's a great touch to add sugar to green beans, and tons of it too. Who on earth though of that and likes this combination of flavors? It was the nastiest thing I have ever tasted and now it made me not like green beans no longer. Please manager stop doing that. It's disgusting and made me not enjoy the other great part of my food. Now my service was great and she deserves all the bragging. She really made my visit a great experience. Since it started off very bad. I ordered beer and it was so flat it tasted like old socks and when I returned it I was told that's how it supposed to be. Really? You are kidding me? So as you see I had every reason to just give up on them but the server was who talked me Into staying and giving it a try. Amneda or something like that was her name. So sorry if I am butchering your name. Please forgive me. I was hoping it would be on my check but it was not so I am trying my best. Again thank you for making my day a great one but being a believer of what you serve and enjoy your work like you did. With a huge smile. You are the only reason I am giving this place a 4 star! read more

This used to be our favorite place to eat . Not anymore. The server we had was super slow. Couldn't care less about us. Ribs and croissants were all ready out at 6 pm. I ordered the pasta with sausage, chicken and shrimp. It was greasy, lukewarm... the waitress actually recommended it! When she finally came back, I told her not to recommend the pasta. She said..."it's my favorite". I said," it's awful". She said" do you want more sauce on it"?......what? After we paid and left, I spotted the waitress outside talking to friends. I felt sorry for her other tables. There is too much competition in Pooler now. Cheddars needs to go back to their roots or they will not survive. We will never go back. read more

I dined at Cheddar's today in Pooler GA. The short young lady (Caucasian or Hispanic) at the hostess desk will need some training. She sat us but explained that no silverware was available. In addition, I requested to sit at a longer length table that she did not want to clean. She proceeded to tell me that the other young lady told her to clean the table for us. As a paying customer, that is not my concern nor is it my problem as to who told you to clean the table. Simply clean it so me and my party can be seated. Our waitress (African American young lady) was great but that hostess needs a personality that presents good customer service. Her nonverbal behavior and her verbal attitude clearly said "I don't want to be here". Lastly, the male Caucasian manager passed by our table a BUMBER of times in hopes that we would wrap up and leave. Mind you, we paid a nice price and tipped well to sit at our table to enjoy ourselves. I don't frequent this place often but decided to give it another try because i previously stopped going because of VERY POOR customer service. Well, I probably won't be back anytime soon because in all this time to perfect their customer service; it is still lacking. Food tasted but customer service is lacking. How do you run out of clean silverware when your restaurant has decreased seating; therefore you have silverware - you just gave poor staffing to keep things in balance. PLEASE get better! read more

Terrible terrible experience. Second time this happened as well. Our food took 59 minutes to finally be brought out. My buffalo chicken was like cold/room temperature so I had to get them to take it back and heat it but they gave me a fresh batch instead which was nice. Mainly the only reason I'm not giving this review 1 star. I don't think I can ever come back here until they get better service. read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Wisconsin cheese bites cause they're too fancy to serve mozzarella sticks lol - American Near Me - Pooler, Georgia

Went here with the Savannah branch of the family. It's one of their favorites and very accomodating to our 16 month old grandson. I appreciated the quality of the foods-very apparent that they are hand made with attention to details. Portion size is more than ample. I'm told by my son in law that the steak & rib combo dinner is exceptional. The blended-here rib rub is so exceptional that he eschews the sauces. Great value and honest flavors make this a great family place. However the bar area looks as if it is great fun for adults! read more

A delightful treat! On our first night in the Savannah area, and Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen came up in Pooler (Thursday Dec 1). It had some pretty good reviews so we gave it a shot. We arrived and were promptly seated. Our waitress Megan was very friendly and answered all our questions regarding the menu. I ordered the Top Sirloin Steak (Med rare) & Ribs with a baked potato and broccoli cheese casserole with an appetizer of the honey butter croissants. My girlfriend had the country fried chicken with mashed potatoes and Southern green bean. About 5 mins after ordering, we were informed that they were out of bread and our waitress would bring some out as soon as more were ready. When the bread came out, I found them to be delicious and devoured them. About 10 mins later, the manager came out and informed us that our order had been messed up and they were working on our food. Our waitress, Megan, then brought us out a second set of croissants as we waited for our meals. It seems like a rare thing for restaurants to fess up to a mistaken and take proactive steps to keep the customers happy (or maybe that's just my experience). When the food came out, I was impressed: Steak was actually cooked med-rare and was delicious! The ribs were a smidge less than I expected after everything else, but was still very good. The country fried chicken was a lot bigger than expected but was delicious from what I was told. All the sides lived up to our expectations and were good choices. By the end of the meal we were too full to have dessert. 2nd Trip- Sat Dec 3rd: We went back to Cheddar's, and I was determined to try their monster cookie. This experience was a little different. We had a quoted wait time of 20 mins, so we waited. We ended up waiting 30+ mins, but I was really determined to try the cookie with ice cream. When we were seated, we were seated next to 4 people who had waited just about as long as we had for a table in the waiting area.. This time we ordered the chips and queso as the appetizer. She had the buffalo chicken wrapper, and I had the smokehouse burger with french fries. The chips and queso showed up in record time. We hadn't even gotten our waters yet (the thing they always seem to bring out right before/after you order your food) and thought they had mistakenly brought out to the wrong table (but we weren't going to say anything). The 4-some decided that our appetizer looked delicious and ordered theirs right after ours came out (theirs took a lot longer than ours). Our waitress was on the ball, and did a good job on doing the usual waitress stuff (making sure our food was satisfactory, beverages were full) until we were just about done. We heard a little commotion from the tables next to us (including our new friends), they're order came out wrong and they had some words with her. Then we found out she had a "rough day" and decided she had had enough and quit. Our waitress and I believe a second waitress ended up taking over her tables (that's when our service became less than what we had experienced at the beginning) which wasn't bad but wasn't great either. The Monster Cookie with Ice Cream was a let down. It must have been an off day, because the cookie came out very dry (almost like a pre-packaged and stuck in a freezer) type cookie. Our waitress took care of this for us, but I was still pretty disappointed. Overall my experience with Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen was pretty amazing. The food is fantastic, the price is right (both meals were about $25-30- which is a deal for the steak meal, about the ball park for burger and wraps in my book) the service was good, but sounds like we kind of lucked out with two fantastic waitresses. I would definitely recommend Cheddar's to others. read more

This is the second time I've been to Cheddar's (different locations) for special occasion and was not happy. We went for my mother's birthday this time. I have gone to this Cheddar's since it opened buta lot had changed. Portions have gotten smaller. Anything involving shrimp will get no more than three. Whoever cooks that food and calls the tickets need more training or help. I was missing my steamed broccoli and my father's garlic bread that came with his dish, told two waitresses and got it when I was almost finished. When I received it, it was not steamed, overcooked and covered in something with bits of garlic. I did not eat it. We did not leave feeling satisfied how we normally do. With two very disappointing trips and smaller portions, I'm falling out of love with Cheddar's. read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - 20 oz bone in ribeye, side of broccoli casserole and pepper gravy mash taters - American Near Me - Pooler, Georgia

Very mixed circumstances. 1--The server. A younger lady, I will not provide the name. I order vodka (Call) martinis, wet, dirty, with three spanish olives. When I did so, she stated regarding the olives, I don't know what those are. Okay, perhaps she may not, but she should refrain from stating this. And if the bartender does not know, then the waitress should return and ask for clarification. And a touch later, when reviewing the order, after stating "wet and dirty", she added, "whatever that is". Again, a sign that the woman needs some etiquette training. What I ordered is not unusual. If she is unfamiliar with it, ask the bartender. Don't stand over the customer and make commentary over the drink order. 2--The food. The onion ring appetizer was good. My wife ordered ribs and shrimp, and she was happy with them. I ordered the steak and shrimp, with broccoli and fries as the sides. The steak was ordered medium rare, and it cooked properly. However, I have to say that several of the broccoli stalks were completely raw. Not cooked at all. Now, I like raw broccoli. So, I didn't bring it to the attention of the manager. Although I should have. It was completely unacceptable for the vast majority who would dine there. 3--The bill. A pet peeve of mine. A tip is calculated on the meal, not the tax. I understand that the receipt recommended tip uses software. That doesn't mean that the software should not be rewritten. And on top of that, the lowest option was 18%. Instead of 15%. read more

October 9, 2017 Monday - 12:45 PM for a lunch 1 Adult and a teenager Atmosphere - 3 stars Food - 3 stars Service - 1 stars Background - Lunch failed at another location so time to find another place. Atmosphere - Large chain vibe. I did not know how large until looked online as I writing this review. Food Drinks - Water, none of the beers interested me. They had no local beers. Lunch - Maple bacon chicken sandwich, which was really a burger with a chicken breast in place of the patty. The bacon was under cooked, and that is a pain when trying to bite through it. Nothing special about this sandwich. Plating was poorly done as the cheese on the chicken had melted with French fries in it. Service - I was really in the need of better service after the fail earlier. Seated immediately. A drink request from our waitress was immediate. This was the end of a successful experience. I asked if they had local beers after I read the list, I received a very puzzled look. Okay that was a no. While my daughter was ordering she asked for the chicken tenders, which the menu calls them, our waitress asked if she wanted the chicken fingers. Why would you call them something other than what the menu calls them? I placed my order, thinking I was done with the ordering she had to question what I just ordered as if she had forgotten what I ordered in the last 10 seconds. While waiting for our food and still with full waters she asked us how everything was. In my head I am going ummm we are waiting, which my daughter repeated to me after she left. At this point my daughter could be doing a better job. After the food arrived and we started to eat my daughter grabs the empty bottle of ketchup, okay not empty one very little squirt left in it. Why would you leave that on the table? It took a while to grab anyone's attention, mind you that they were busing the table right next to us. Otherwise I would have just grabbed it off that table. After finishing our waitress came with the bill and my daughter asked for a to go box as I laid down the credit card. She walked away assuming she was getting the container. So we wait and wait. They table next to us receives their drinks, then they receive their appetizers. REALLY? She finally comes over and says sorry about five times and takes the credit card. She did not come back with the to go container. So we had to ask again for it. Future - Probably not. read more

I have no idea how this place is still in business. I have eating in other Cheddar's and this one is the worst. Too many things to list wrong with this place.
