    Salt and Pepper with BBQ sauce on it from prior customers (we wiped off the top)
    Cory S.

    My friends and I were looking for some food to grab for an early dinner near where we were staying, and we came across a Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen. Having never actually gone to one but having seen them at home previously, we thought we'd give it a try, especially with attractive dishes and good prices. We stopped by around 5 PM for an early dinner on a Monday evening. The service itself was very good as was the food, though the cleanliness of the restaurant, the seating area, the silverware, and condiments (including salt and pepper) were abysmal. I would have rated the service and food at 4 but the cleanliness at a 1; I gave an average rating of 3. While I can see some of what we experienced being a reason to walk away, we didn't notice have of this until after we ordered food, and again, the service and food itself were very good. We had no wait to be seated nor did we need a reservation. There is a waitlist feature on their website (https://www.cheddars.com/wait-list). Our server was very helpful and checked on us regularly. Early after we ordered food, a plate of complimentary buttered croissants arrived which were delicious! I think that may have been the highlight of my meal. As the food is marketed as "homestyle comfort food," I decided to order the top sirloin steak (8 oz) with two side choices. I chose broccoli for one side and paid for the second side to be upgraded to a side Caesar salad. The broccoli was well-seasoned, the steak was juicy and tasty, and the salad was as good as any side Caesar. Did I mention I loved the buttered croissants!? We unfortunately had one cleanliness issue after another. There was a dirty fork until my seat. The salt and pepper shakers were covered with barbecue sauce (which we wiped off the tops) but we didn't bother cleaning the sides. We were given clean silverware wrapped in a napkin but one of our silverware sets had crusty dirt leftover from other diners. We asked for a replacement of that. We get that these things happen but this seemed like a consistent issue at this restaurant. You can join the Cheddar's eClub for member-only offers, scratch cooking tips, and more by going to https://www.cheddars.com/customer-service/join-eclub. Just for signing up, you'll also receive free chips and homemade queso. You also receive a special birthday treat on your birthday. All in all, the prices are great, the food is great, the promotions are good, and the service is good. But I may think twice before dining at this location due to the cleanliness issues we experienced.

    Chicken pot pie and coleslaw
    Jason Z.

    Temperatures are dropping so decided to go for a chicken pot pie. The server was very friendly and attentive. Food came out quickly. I ordered coleslaw for my side to accompany my chicken pot pie. Normally the chicken pot pie is very good but today was not that day. Not sure what happened but it wasn't as good as it usually is. Have been coming here for years. Normally great food but. Might've just been an off day.

    I guess they NEVER clean the tables, we were sitting for 21 minutes. The food was good, but the WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE....
    Maria S.

    WORST customer service. Sat for 21 minutes until we got tired of waiting so we had to call a manager. The edge of the table was so dirty FULLLLLLL of crumbs.

    Cheese & Bacon French Fries

    Poor service food came out wrong burger still raw and fries was cold and so was the Queso. Server never attend to us either waited over 30 to 40 minutes for food that's shouldn't have took long order a Maui margarita server said only rocks and then on top of that my drink took 30 minutes as well to bring it to me and her bar top wasn't busy I've worked 7+ years in the food industry as a server n bartender and never gave anyone poor service like this never again to return then found something in my burger and have no idea what it is never got refills as well never gave us her name either !!!! Horrible service ever I even set a timer and timed our service

    The Original Classic Burger
    Marc Antonio R.

    The location of this cheddar did not disappoint. The staff was friendly and well-mannered. All of the food was served fresh and promptly. The burger I ordered was juicy and delicious.

    Chicken Tender Platter (No. 8 Special)
    Kylie N.

    Came here around 4 pm with a group of three and was seated immediately. They were very accommodating consider in we wanted a table for my friends grandmother. The service was quick and the portion size of the food was surprisingly big. I got myself the New Orleans pasta and the other two people I was with got the chicken tenders platter. Our food was either plain or very salty, but it could just be an off day. I would come back if I were in town again.

    Great atmosphere, great drinks, reasonably priced. Kids friendly. Enjoyed the payment method, and trivia iPad to pass time. Definitely a good find.

They serve a variety of burgers, sandwiches, wings, dogs, desserts, and meals include either a side of tots, fries, cucumbers with chamoy and lucas, or corn in a cup. Other sides are available as well. This trip since we craved for burgers, ordered: Bistro burger- wonderfully seasoned and cooked, served on sourdough, with avocado, grilled onions and mushrooms, mayo. One thing that should be added, the works, I felt it would be even better with the addition of lettuce, pickles, and tomatoes. I ordered the cucumbers sans chamoy and lucas. I appreciate simple veggies. Mexican burger- excellent! Juicy burger with cheese, jalapenos, pico de gallo, bacon and the works. The tater tots had a nice and crispy outer texture as it should. Overall- very good. Tasty, reasonable, clean, and great service. We'll have to make sure to come back sooner!

    Came here on a Friday afternoon with a friend. I didn't see any there to make a reservation online,…read moreso we just walked in. This was actually my second attempt at coming because the wait was astronomical the first time. This time, we were told the wait would be around 20 minutes but it ended up only being 8 minutes. All of the staff were very nice and accommodating. My friend and I ate family stye, which I strongly recommend for this place because you have to try as many dishes as possible. We started with lemon drop mimosas. I honestly didn't expect much but THEY WERE SO GOOD. They really tasted like the perfect blend between a lemon drop martini and a mimosa. I wish everywhere sold them because now I think I've found my new go to beverage. Now this place is called flavor rich for a reason. That crawfish and cheese was indeed Flavor Rich! It was well seasoned but not overpowering. There was crawfish in every bite. And do you see the portion size??? The shrimp and grits were 'very demure'. I've never seen this dish look so dainty. Almost too cute to eat.. almost. Taste wise, this wasn't really the star of the show but still very good if you like to keep things simple. Now when the strawberry shortcake French toast arrived my eyes got almost as big as that Mac and cheese plate. I've never seen such an incredible display of a simple dish in my life. It was topped with fresh strawberries, cake pieces, whipped cream, and toasted marshmallows. It literally looks like something you only see on IG but no this is the real deal. We originally ordered the sampler, but were sold out. I'm actually glad that happened because we were only able to eat half a toast each. It was so decadent and reminded me of a luxury cinnamon roll. No syrup needed. As all of this delicious food fed our tummies. The satisfying old school R&B music fed our souls. It was definitely a treat to listen because most SATX restaurants don't have that. The music was also at the perfect volume. I would love to return to this amazing establishment in the future. The service, food, and ambiance were incredible and definitely worth an encore. No matter the wait, this place is well worth it.

Oddly enough, all of the bkfst items (sausage/grits/potatoes/eggs) were ala' carte, which was disappointing, since this place is "brunch" themed. However, portions were huge, which was nice because it was a bit pricy...for a brunch spot. -3 jumbo (butterflied) shrimp/over salted broccolini/very spicy rice. -2 large pieces of chicken but nothing to rave about. -Mac & Cheese was hot & overflowing. -Pineapple Lemonade & Sweet Tea was good. Space is small, but clean. Our server was knowledgeable and attentive. We won't rush back but will eventually return.

    Terrific new breakfast, lunch, brunch, and drinks location…read more Very casual, with friendly staff in a bright atmosphere. Our first trip to Toasted Yolk and definitely not our last! Hubby ordered a Bacon, Ham, Sausage, and egg sandwich with a side of their very special hash brown casserole. I went with a Southwestern Arnold ( like a Benedict, but better and so many more choices). The southwestern had a great biscuit, a chicken tender and was smothered in a tasty sausage gravy. I also had the hash brown casserole. Everything was served hot and fresh and absolutely delicious! Jennifer G took very good care of us - got unsweet refills without delay and checked in regularly. PRO TIP: Portions are huge! Many 4 egg omelet options, my southwestern arnold was enough for 2 meals. Convenient location. Plenty of parking. Clean individual rest rooms.

The Atlantic Benedict i got was decent at best. 1 egg was perfect and runny the other over cooked. The salmon was good and well cooked the spinach was spinach. The hollandaise was creamy and the muffin was overcooked. Don't be shocked when the hashbrown casserole appears to be a sample size, very small, mine was undercooked and had no crisp. The whole dish overall lacked salt and pepper, the flavor was kinda bland. My wife had the French toast with 2 add on eggs and sausage patties. The French toast was very homestyle, resembled something I'd cook at home, and had decent flavor but nothing to write home about. Eggs done and cooked properly as requested. The sausage patties are basic frozen patties (luckily for them, that's my wife's favorite so she was happy) Overall, I am not sure I'd come back. I tend to judge a brunch place by 2 criteria 1. Do they have a Benedict and 2. Does it blow me away? Yes they have it, no it wasn't enough to get me back.
