I usually brag on Cheddars but this was a less than stellar visit. We arrived around 10pm ( so still an hour before they are scheduled to close). We stood at the hostess stand waiting to be seated for over 5 minutes while multiple employees walked by without any acknowledgement. Once a hostess did show up she seemed like it was a problem for us to want a table and not to just go sit at the bar. We had Gracie as our waitress. She was the one shiny spot to this experience. We just ordered a Cookie Monster. We had to wait 15-20 minutes for this. Normally that is fine because they are supposedly fresh baked. There was no heat to this cookie. We then had to wait for someone to come around for us to pay. Apparently we are supposed to use the Ziosk, however the battery packs has been taken out of all of them. Luckily Gracie came and took my card and took care of us. I know it is the night before Halloween and the employees that did show up wanted to get out but if you are open until 11 then good service needs to happen until 11. I'm not even complaining about the tables being moved around us and the vacuuming that was being done so close to our table. read more

We visited this restaurant on a Saturday evening about 5:00. The parking lot was 1/2 full so not crowded and no wait to be seated. Then we waited and waited and waited, watched two more tables be seated in our section and we all waited some more. Saw a busboy cleaning a table at the end of room but never saw a waitress. Needless to say we walked out and left! The hostess saw us leave as we walked right past her but she never said a word. What a shame! The food is usually good and the prices are good but if you cant get waited on, what good is it. This is the 3rd time that this has happened to us and we will not be coming back for a 4th! read more

My last visit wasn't that great but I thought I'd give it another go. We sat at the bar and we had Aubrey as our bartender. She crushed it. Fast and efficient. Aside from handling the to go orders and the servers orders, her customer serve was to still great! The drinks were delicious and the food was yummmmmmm. Highly recommend! read more

The only reason I'm not giving them a 5 star rating is it took forever to get our food and our server kind of disappeared. She was super friendly, but we never saw her. The food at this location is by far the best. We live in DFW and we visit several different location but this is by far our favorite. read more

The server did a great job! The drink I got the Maui whatever came with a cactus shot that together was a REALLY good deal and delicious.The food was good although I was expecting a bit more bang for my buck which is my reason for the 4 instead of 5. Its a over pretty good spot read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Both of these together were like $6!!!! Awesome deal!! - American Near Me - San Angelo, Texas

Cheddars has so many good things that it is hard to decide. Their chicken fried steak is big enough for my husband and I to share and it is always hot and tender. The croissants that they serve complimentary are delicious. The salad has the good lettuce, not iceberg, and is always good. I will keep coming here to eat. read more

The food is usually pretty good I don't have complaints on it. But when I'm eating I don't want to look over next to me and see a window full of dead flies. Please clean the window seals. read more

I don't know if it is this Cheddars or all of them, but the portions have just continued to get smaller and smaller over the last few years. The food is good. But the service is hit and miss. Tonight there were two items missing on our plates and all of our drinks ran empty before any one brought refills. I wish you could go to a restaurant in San Angelo where people would take care of you. I guess those days are gone. Maybe the manager will read this---please hold your waitstaff to a higher standard. Treat your best waitstaff like gold and you'll be showered in gold. read more

Waited a long time for hostess until a waiter took pity and finally seated us. I have no idea what the hostess was doing -- she kept walking by saying she would clear a table for us, while the restaurant was completely empty. We stood around for 20 minutes until the waiter just took us to a table. It looks like the front of the restaurant is completely run by high school kids. Although the service was earnest, the food was crazy salty. The one good thing is that it's inexpensive. I felt like I was eating one of those three-ingredient 30-minute dinners you could whip up at home though. read more

Went with my mother and we're seated immediately. Our server Abby greeted us and got our drinks quickly. She soon began waiting on a birthday party and wasn't very attentive to us after that and only checked on us when we were about to leave. She is very nice though! read more

First, consider that you're eating in San Angelo...and now let's get on to the review! The service was really phenomenal. Our waiter didn't play around and was on point. Drinks: We ordered the Texas Margarita and the Texas Sweat Tea, both of which were a little weak. When you consider, however, that each drink was only $3.50 you get what you pay for. As a drink alone, both were delicious. Food: Wow. Just wow. For an appetizer we ordered the spinach dip. It was topped with cheese and even came with a side of salsa for the nachos. At a great price of only like $4 I would definitely buy it again. My girlfriend and I ordered the mushroom burger and full rack of babyback ribs, respectively. The ribs were absolutely phenomenal. The burger was good enough such that when I finished the large order of ribs I finished off the 1/3 of burger that my girlfriend left behind. The burger was also topped with whole mushrooms which was a different spin on the mushroom genre of burger. Very good. Cheap prices. Good food. and a full bar. Definitely recommend when in San Angelo! read more

I miss Cheddar's Like you wouldnt even believe. My favorite place when I go home to visit. (allmy family lives in San Angelo, TX) My fav thing is the buffalo chicken tenders. I have yet to find their equal. I basically stopped ordering chicken tenders b/c they are never this good and its not worth the fried foodness of it all. I always get double broccoli rice/cheese casserole and half the entire meal and you have 2 meals in one. Its very very filling. Once my bf and I went to the Cheddar's in Lubbock and we ordered tenders and ribs. o wow.! so good. the ribs are the kind that are dressed in bbq sauce. If you dont like that kind and prefer the dry rub these arent for you. They also have the best mixed drinks: mojitos (nice balance not too minty like @ Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas - thought I had just brushed my teeth) the painkiller is killer, Pina colada is good, strawberry marg and reg marg are too sweet for me, i'm not much for sweet. If you want appetizers try the artichoke spinach deep, best ever. This is the art. spin. i compare all others to. The only ohter one I love for a fraction of the calories is the one from trader joe's. This place is a must have if in San Angelo. There's not much going on in this retirement - bible belt town, but this is great food for super cheap prices! This is where I had my last meal with all of my family before I moved out-of-state and I wouldnt have changed it for the world! read more

Pretty easy going. Clean. Cheap. Yummy food! I had the mango tilapia and you get to choose to sides with every entree so I chose mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli. Pretty darn good for $9! Their peach iced tea was delicious and sweetened :) my fav. Oh and lastly, my favorite, the honey buttered croissants were to DIE for. Warm, flaky, and sweet! Bill: $13!!!!! Yum yum yum. Def coming back!! read more

This place is a good, cheaper alternative to a Chili's, or a Ruby Tuesdays. My buddies and I really enjoy coming here, but the food by no means screams "fine dining". A few items of interest: Mozzarella sticks. Very good. Hot, fresh, and the texture makes me wonder if they are hand breaded. Honey butter croissants. Oh my goodness. That being said, I would probably at least taste a rock if it was covered in honey butter. 3 of them (they're large) is something like 2.50. Spasagna. Exactly what it sounds like. Lasagna, but spaghettified. A giant square of spaghetti held together by mozzarella and herbs. A cool idea, but it would be much better if the sauce was baked into the a lasagna. The portion is huge, and is great when it's fresh, but reheating with the sauce on the side is tough because of the amount of cheese. I enjoy this dish, but usually pass on bringing home leftovers. Cookie sundae. Better than the croissants. And you know how I feel about honey butter. Chocolate cake. GIGANTIC. Order this to share with the table. It took 5 of us to tackle it. Drinks. SO cheap. You're at the whim of the bartender if you're ordering mixed though. One Texas sweet tea I ordered was strong like bull. The next one? Weak like bunny. The only thing here that I've found to be annoyingly inconsistent is the service. We were here once, and were served by a wonderful older woman who we decided must have been a preschool teacher during the school year. She was perfect. Sweet, patient, and on point with our refills. The last time, however, we were served by a 21 year old, lip smacking blond. Her shirt was dirty, hair was all over the place, and she constantly made inappropriate remarks to our table, to include telling us about her 2 kids. All that would have been forgivable had our refills been timely, but the 6 of us had to actually stop eating and seek her out for drinks. Maybe it was a bad night for her, but our table was less than amused. If you're in the area and looking for something consistent, cheap, tasty and hot, cheddars is a viable option. If you want something that's a step up, I'd suggest cork and pig up the road. read more

Was in from out of town for the holidays and was told this was a must eat place. I had ribs they were good for the price my daughter had the salmon it was very bland my other daughter had a steak medium it was great my wife had chicken fried steak that was also very good. It seems that they have a variety of options good for bigger groups. The waiter was new to his job so things were a little bit of a process he could have used some help. We would probably eat there again read more

Eh, I use to work here. This is one of 2 Cheddars locations I have worked at and I'm just going to say, you get what you pay for. Nothing here is "made-from-scratch", its all frozen and delivered from some corporate warehouse. But hey! Its cheap right? As far as service goes,the past couple of times I have ate here when visiting home, there has been a completely different waitstaff. So maybe they have a high turnover rate which is going to of course equal uneducated monkeys for servers. Also I miss the doors on the kitchen. I don't wanna hear servers and cooks talking loudly in the kitchen while I'm trying to eat. read more

The food was well cooked but the service was amazingly slow! We sat almost 10 minutes waiting for the waitress to show up with drinks. She never came back to refill drinks and we sat, finished with the meal for 15 minutes waiting for the check. I was impressed that the fish wasn't overcooked but that was the only real plus side. read more

Visiting from out of town and came here for dinner last night with a large group. The food wasn't good, but wasn't the worst I've had either. Long story short, around 4:30 in the morning I realized that I have food poisoning. A BAD case of food poisoning. After spending the last seven hours in the bathroom feeling like absolute hell, I'm still violently sick and now it looks like I won't be able to fly back home today. Thanks for ruining my weekend, Cheddars. Edit: I found out later yesterday that another person from our group ALSO got food poisoning from eating different dishes than what I ordered! So disgusting to think of what their kitchen must look like and how they store their food. read more

Coming from a big city, I've eaten at Cheddars before. I'm used to the menu, and the food's not bad or poorly priced. What I couldn't believe was the incredibly terrible service that we received. We called ahead and tried making reservations for our party of 20. We were told they don't take reservations but they'd pass a note along. When we got there, they weren't expecting us. Once we finally all got drinks, a 25 minute affair because the waiter kept leaving, we ordered promptly. When the food started coming out, it wasn't all ready yet. We got food in ones and twos with about 10 minutes in between. Still no drink refills. After we were done eating, we were ready to pay but couldn't find out waiter. We asked at the host stand and were told that there was a staff meeting outside going on and that he would be right in. This was at 6:30p in the middle of dinner. Who holds staff meetings then? When we got our checks, he hadn't split them correctly despite asking and (we thought) writing down which were grouped when we ordered for dinner. Overall, a pretty rotten place and I would recommend Carino's which is next door and much better. read more

I truly miss Cheddar's. I just found out, that there is one within 45 minutes of me, but that's too far away to be convenient. Hohum. Cheddar's was probably my favorite restaurant while I lived in San Angelo and like any good patron, I went there ALOT. I never had any problems with the waitstaff. And the food was delicious. Just thinking about it makes me want to drive that 45 minutes. Unfortunately I was underage while I lived in Texas, so I'm not sure how the bar is, but I do remember that the desserts were fantastic! read more

I ordered the Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad for lunch. I asked waitress if chicken breast was cooked fresh for salad. She assured me that it was. When order arrived, it was plain to see that chicken was not freshly cooked. Chicken breast was so cold it was almost frozen and it tasted like Oscar Mayer deli meat. If that's the way the salad is prepared, that's fine. Just don't lie to your customers. read more

I have been coming here for over a year pretty regularly for to go orders. The food is delicious and it is close to campus so it's been a go to for me. Unfortunately, there is only one bar staffer that brings out my food on time. I've had to wait 25+ minutes in my car on multiple occasions to get my food. So today I did not have much time and I'd been waiting 8ish minutes already and decided to go in. I saw my food right there and labeled for me. I was in a hurry so I was going to grab it and tell someone I'm taking it. The bartender saw me and very aggressively told me to stop. She finished what she was doing. Got my order confirmed and ready- which was fine and I apologized. Then she looked at me and aggressively told me to not do that ever again please and thank you and turned away without another word. She is blonde but I didn't catch her name. Horrible customer service on her part. I don't ever write reviews but that was completely unnecessary and I wish I hadn't left any tip. read more

Our waitress was good. She is the only reason for the star. She was nice, attentive, and graceful. The food on the other hand was straight . I flew into town to take my sister who is stationed at Goodfellow to dinner for her 21st birthday. Our mom was supposed to take her, but mom passed away to ovarian cancer last month. So dad asked me to come and take her out instead for mom. It took them almost 45 minutes to bring our food out. The first time they brought my food to me, EVERYTHING WAS COLD. The Mac n Cheese was so cold it was almost like they pulled it out of the refrigerator. The fish was already cold, and my cheese fries were missing. When I asked them to warm it up, my cheese fries can out first, then eventually the rest of my food came out about 5 minutes after. By then, the fries were cold, and guess what was still freezing???!?! The Mac n Cheese . I will never eat at a Cheddar's restaurant across America ever. This was my first and last time eating at this chain. read more

I used to like this place before they change the name to "scratch kitchen." Ever since, I think they have gone downhill. It's kind of hard to screw up fried shrimp, but this tasted undercooked and the batter was soggy. read more

Today walked out of Cheddar's restaurant after waiting 35 minutes for a order to go. Everyone around us arriving ten to fifteen minutes after we arrived already receiving their food. The waitress told us three times are food was almost ready. The night manager didn't care we were leaving. We were ordering fifty dollars worth of food, quest they don't need our money. If I could put a zero star I would. They were not busy!! read more

i went earlier today for lunch with my friend and I had not been to cheddars in awhile, so this was the first in a awhile and we had I believe Mickey was his name as a waiter. I don't know if he was having a bad day or what but his customer service was not the best and it was very disappointing. He never greeted us goodbye or have a nice day after taking our payments. After he was done taking our payments on the tablet, he just walked off like nothing, not even saying anything! So we weren't sure if we were able to leave. He never once checked up on us while eating or asked if we needed anything else, I had to ask another waitress to bring some more dressing. I had asked for a chips and queso and he didn't even say one thing or even nod his head, just automatically took the tablet did it himself, thinking it was an inconvenience for him. If you don't like your job, find another place. I still tipped to him to be nice. However, Very disrespectful and hopefully I will never have him as a waiter again. But the food was delicious overall. read more

We came in at 10pm on a Saturday and they are open until 11pm but we felt like everyone working was pretty much done for the night. Bar smells like it needs a thorough cleaning and the bathroom was a mess. We didn't have food so cannot comment on that. The beers were nice and cold. read more

First...this is San Angelo. If you want REAL, GOOD food...go to Abilene! With that being said...shame on me...I made the mistake of coming to Cheddar's for the THIRD time...same result. Waitstaff...meh. Today, came in at opening with hardly anyone there...still waited almost 45 minutes. I have an hour for lunch people! Ended up walking out (for the SECOND time!). UNACCEPTABLE WAIT TIME!! Lunch rush is lunch rush...if you can't handle getting plates out in 15 minutes on a work day...get out of the business! I used to go to Cheddar's when I was younger and knew the manager at the time Rick Howard (family friend). He made sure meals were out on time and that the food was good, and waitstaff were knowledgeable. Can't say that anymore... I don't know who the manager is, but s/he needs to be replaced. I WILL NOT GO TO CHEDDAR'S AGAIN. HOWEVER, if you really don't care about waiting, if you really don't care about eating quality food, if you like your chicken burnt and your steak mooing at you, by all means....please eat here. On a good note, the croissants are tasty. read more

Great service. Food was fresh and yummy. I ordered green beans rush for my 10 month old and we got them in under a minute. I did have to wipe the table down myself, I had sanitizer wipes on hand. read more

Had a very bad experience here on Sunday 6/18/18. Kitchen was very slow bringing our food. When we got the food half of it was cold. They forgot the sides on several of the meals. Two of our group ordered hamburgers and when they got home after eating they became very ill. They were throwing up & had diarrhea. They were not feeling very well at all the next day either. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Obviously they have a problem in their kitchen with some kind of cross-contamination or they are not refrigerating the food properly. read more

Not thoroughly impressed but also not overwhelmed with disappointment. Our server Giovanni was great. The food was also good but not the 'old' Cheddar's. read more

Omg I LOVE this place from sweet tea...spinach dip....pasta....monster cookie everything is sooo yummy! Great atmosphere for family...friends watever....servers are very nice and helpful....the adult beverages are very good also! It's a MUST TRY! read more

I am going to try really hard to not use the "F" word in this review. On Friday, July 22nd, my husband and I went stopped in for dinner. We've been back a few times since my last review and were never blown away, but I really liked one thing on their menu & kept wanting to go back. As usual, we were sat somewhere awkward (one time we were sat in a room where no one but one large party was having dinner and being obnoxiously loud was). It was us, another family of three, and about 8 people who worked there taking up two booths eating/talking on a lunch break. We were already annoyed by the seating arrangement when we realized they forgot about us and we were left waiting quite awhile for a waiter to come take our drink orders. By the time he got there, we were ready to order. We gave the order and he came back with drinks. I feel like he was new because it was all downhill from here. He put my husband's tea in front of him and then the drinks for the other table. Then, he turn around and was about to put what looked like a Sprite in front of me. Before I had time to grab it and let him know I'd ordered water, he went, "Oh!" and turned around to the other table. He asked the kid at that table who was about 12 or so, "Did you drink from this?" The kid said he had and the waiter picked up the glass and put it down in front of me. We were shocked! I normally don't say anything when something weird happens, but I had to in this case. I said, "Wait, did he drink out of this?!" The waiter chuckled and said, "Yeah. I can get you a new straw." I demanded a new water, but I wasn't positive he didn't just disappear with the glass and bring it back so I didn't drink out of it. We should have gotten up and walked out after that incident, but we were starving and my husband wanted to be polite about if it we left (tell them to cancel the order and offer to pay for his tea). Screw that- if I was leaving, I wasn't going nicely after that water incident. When the food came, mine was okay, but my husband's was raw on most of the chicken breast he'd ordered. We asked the waiter to get the manager just to let them know. Then this guy comes out and said it's just the chicken being big in that part and bla bla bla. He never said it was raw, but never said it wasn't (and it obviously was!). So, he offered to make my husband something else, neglecting the fact that they were going to charge us for it. So, they brought him a half sandwich and some fries. By this time, I had my To-Go box and was ready to leave, but they brought out his food. Then, the waiter was dropping off a margarita for the man who came in later and sat behind us. Only, before he did, he spilled it all over our table and into the water glass I was refusing to drink from. He laughed about it! He also never came to clean it up, so we did. And the rest of the time it smelled like tequila at our table- nasty! When my husband was done, we got the bill. The waiter stood there hovering over me while I looked at it and I felt really uncomfortable. I just wanted to get out of there so I handed over my card and didn't realize I'd just been charged for their replacement sandwich (they didn't tell us a price or anything- didn't even get to see a menu when he asked for something else so I wasn't aware we'd have to pay for it). I tipped him well because if his service to us was any indication, he wasn't going to be making much money that night. Oh, and before we left, a table behind us had ribs delivered to their table. Their waiter goes, "The cook made too many so you get an extra slab of ribs on the house!" Yet, I had to pay for a freaking replacement sandwich, nearly ingest the germs of a sweaty preteen, and have tequila spilled everywhere. We will never come back to this place. read more

WARNING: These people are racist. From the waiter to manager. I have never experienced worst service in my life. My family and I had just arrived to San Angelo and we were in the mood for some good food. This place got good reviews so we decided to try it out. We sat for about 5 minutes before the waiter came and asked us what drinks we wanted. We asked her to to give us a minute because one of our members went to the restroom. She comes back 15 minutes later and finally takes our drink order, before we even finished ordering she started walking away. We had to call her back to get an appetizer order in, she looked annoyed. About 10 minutes pass and she finally comes back with our drinks, and takes our order. After this we sat waiting for our food for more than an hour. Other people came in, placed orders, ate and left all while we were waiting on our food. Finally i asked a random waiter passing by about the status of our food. His attitude was disgusting, basically he said he didn't care and he can call the manager if I wanted. I told him to please do so. Another 10 minutes pass by, finally they bring the food out while I was still waiting to speak to the manager. He miraculously comes out about a minute after they bring out the food. I explained the situation to him and he didn't even make the slightest effort to show that he cared about our experience or try to make it right in any way. He said "I apologies, now are you going to take delivery of the food or not". Those were his exact words. Needless to say we walked out. Just beware, if you're a certain type of minority this place is not for you. I will be writing a formal letter to whoever is in change of this place. read more

Went to lunch with a group of 5. We were seated quickly and got water. But when the waitress finally took our orders it took over 45 minutes to get our meals. Waitress said there were other larger parties there. We got there before them, but they got their food first. When we finally got our orders, one had to send her soup back because it was cold. Better management needed. The Carino's close to this restaurant closed because of bad management. read more

Service is horrible. After being seated by the hostess, server after server passed the table without even acknowledging us. I had to get up and complain to the manager before they even took our drink order. The service just gets worse and worse at this place. read more

The food is ok I guess. The wait staff is very lazy, they take forever to get take your order and also for refills. The wait can be very long. Every time that I have gone to eat there its bad service, I dont recommend it. Same type of food you can get at chillis which is way better and the customer expierence is better as well. read more

Their food is decent, but kind of hit-or-miss. I have ordered chicken tenders here in the past and was served some sort of chicken breast or larger piece of meat because they were out of the tenders. I did not care for the citrus salmon or the rice on which it was served. The service also tends to be underwhelming. read more

This location is not one of the better Cheddar's I've visited. The food is a little below what I've had at other places and their menu is missing items that other locations carry(ex. Chicken and waffles). The service there is also very very lacking. They are slow and often times seem very overwhelmed with the amount of customers. On the plus side they are reasonably priced for the amount of food that you get and they drinks are still pretty good. read more
