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.

The food is amazing here and the fries are good and the Shrimp is amazing. The staff is nice

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.

Fresh Steamed Broccoli  Southern Green Beans 8 oz. Fire Grilled Sirloin
Greg P.

Came in for dinner today since I haven't been here in a while and it was definitely a great experience for me the steak was cooked perfectly medium well the green beans and broccoli was delicious and the unsweetened tea tasted fresh my server Issac was awesome he always made sure my drinks were full and made sure to repeat my order back to me and he was moving around quickly because they were busy but he was busting his ass off One of the best experiences I've had 10/10 must try again

Country Fried Chicken
Rose M.

Very obviously one of my favorite restaurants in this area. We come here often for lunch and dinner and the service is always good and fast. The only thing I wish they could improve is there there have been a few times when they are out of certain foods/ side dishes. Other than that, I really enjoying eating here!

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.

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.

FIRST TIME VISIT!…read more Woohoo! Been looking for chili cheese fries and happened upon a review for this place boasting fries with a homemade chili so we HAD TO stop in tonight. THE LOCATION: on the very end of a string of businesses in a strip mall that I've never been in before, so that was cool. Lots of parking, that'll never be an issue. And right off the 410. THE MENU: Burgers, dogs, Mexi-style munchies and a variety of frozen dessert-type items like shakes, frozen fruit concoctions and Italian ice. THE STAFF: I wasn't overwhelmed with a warm welcome and smiles, at least from the guys. Lol! They should really work on that. There was a sweet gal who ran out our food orders and she was great. THE FOOD: I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich deluxe with tots and a sweet tea. The grilled chicken was juicy and cooked well and the bun was lovely, slightly sweet and toasted. Overall, the sandwich could've used more flavor, like a creamy bbq spread and cheddar instead of the "Swiss" cheese that tasted more like American cheese. But overall, 7/10. The tots were extra crispy and the guy who took my order didn't take heed to my request for ranch. I was too lazy to get up again so I settled for ketchup. The sweet tea was nicely sweet and fresh, I'll be sipping this in my dreams. The hubby ordered the bacon cheeseburger with chili cheese fries and an Oreo cookie shake. The burger looked good and he ate it quick, so there's that. This guy can EAT so it surprised us both when he slowed down fast after eating that burger. Lol! He kept saying how filling it was, but then he also killed a large shake before the food arrived, so there's that. He ate most of his chili cheese fries, leaving me a few bites to sample. Not bad. I order a Coco Haven frozen dessert to go and omg is this thing delightful! Vanilla ice cream and coconut Italian ice (?) with a blue snow cone-like syrup drizzled throughout. I loved the texture of what I believed to be Italian ice. Smooth and flaky, a perfect icy dessert. OVERALL: decent eatery, the hubby said we can go back (LOL!) Shockerrrrr! But I recommend the staff tries harder to make customers feel welcomed and comfortable. The next visit will be telling.

I had to get up twice to go to the bar to get refills on our sodas. The only time we saw her again was to tell us we could pay on the little kiosk. She didn't ask if we wanted dessert or anything else. So I would give the service a zero. The food was good and very tasty. I ordered the Chicken Bacon and avocado sandwich and it was very good. My wife ordered the parmesan wings. And she loved them. My only other issue was our utensils were dirty and when i asked the host for another set of utensils those were dirty as well. I understand they probably put all dishes in a machine to wash but they need to pay more attention to how they look when they are finished washing. I hope they fix these issues.

This place has officially earned a spot in my Top 5 brunch restaurants. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was warm, welcoming, and felt like you were visiting family. Our server had the best sense of humor, kept us laughing, was genuinely conversational, and made us feel right at home. Great service like that is hard to find. Now let's talk about the food... because WOW. The catfish was perfectly seasoned, hot, crispy, and cooked to perfection. The shrimp and grits were packed with flavor, and the Red Velvet French Toast? Somebody needs to protect that recipe at all costs! The red velvet was unbelievably soft, rich without being too heavy, and every bite was better than the last. We also ordered bacon, sausage, and sampled the juices--which were all fresh and delicious. The coffee? Strong enough to wake up your ancestors, just the way I like it! One warning: come hungry! The portions are HUGE. We ordered what felt like the entire menu and still had leftovers. I already can't wait to come back and try lunch because if brunch is this incredible, I know lunch is going to be amazing too. Five stars isn't enough. If Yelp let me give this place 10 stars, I would. See y'all again very soon!

They were understanding, though they're like we wish we had breakfast hotdog. I'm like why the fuck don't you? Then they made me order eggs Benedict after I stated I've never had it before and they stated I must try it and I was like you're not the boss of me! Yes, thank you! She made me order two different eggs, Benedict the standard one and the Alaskan version even though we're in Texas. I wanted the one that was double-sided cause everything bigger in Texas instead, they gave me the one that had salmon.? The server had tattoos which is normally fine, but hers were extrememly extreme. Like all black! She also kept asking me question about my kids and I was like how do you know I have kids? Food came and I was eating and they kept wanting to sample it! "How's it taste?" "It's okay." "What's wrong g with it?" "I'm not a food doctor! wtf?" there was too much flavor. Not used to taste! I have none! Look at my ex-wife! BOOM! Mic drop. Food was good, employees didn't call the cops before I left so positive experience for me at least! I've been trespassed supposedly!

Overall, I'd say the atmosphere was the strongest part of the experience. We were staying at a nearby hotel, so being able to walk over was really convenient. We were greeted right away and seated within a few minutes, even though it looked like they were having a busy evening. The restaurant itself has a really fun atmosphere. There's a lot happening... sports memorabilia, photos, decorations, TVs, and plenty of people laughing and enjoying themselves. It has a very lively pub/sports-bar feel without being uncomfortable or overwhelming. I had never been to a 54th Street before, so I enjoyed taking everything in. For dinner, I ordered the chicken fried chicken with mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts. I chose it because it was one of the dishes I saw recommended over and over again. Unfortunately, this was the biggest disappointment of the meal. The chicken was very thin, extremely overcooked, dry, and difficult to chew. It honestly reminded me more of a basic frozen chicken tender than a freshly prepared piece of chicken. It was covered in white gravy, but the gravy couldn't really save the chicken. Maybe it was just an off night, but based on how highly recommended this dish was, I expected much more. The mashed potatoes were good and the little buttered roll was fine, but neither was particularly memorable. The Brussels sprouts were actually one of the better parts of my meal. They had a sweet glaze and cranberries, with a scoop of a white, cheese-like sauce served alongside them. I'm not completely sure what the sauce was, but the combination was good. My daughter ordered the mac & cheese with bacon crumble. It was a pretty straightforward pasta with a house cheese sauce and bacon on top, but she ate about half of it, so I'd say it was definitely kid-approved. My other kiddo had a simple cheese quesadilla, which was good and exactly what he wanted. We also tried the fried pickles, and those were probably my favorite thing we ordered. The breading was really good, and I liked the seasoning it had a little bit of a spicy kick. A few of the pickles were slightly cold in the center, so they could have used a little more time in the fryer, but overall they were delicious. My only complaint was the very small amount of ranch that came with them. Overall, I think 54th Street has a great atmosphere and a fun, casual environment, but my particular meal didn't really live up to the recommendations I had seen. I'd be willing to come back if I'm ever in San Antonio again and try something different. I don't regret going, and I definitely wouldn't tell someone not to try it. I just wouldn't order the chicken fried chicken again. Maybe I caught them on an off night.
