The waitress was attentive and she was checking to see if we needed additional drinks etc. the food was average. Had baked potato was warm not hot. The ribs were tender, but have had better at other chain restaurants. read more

Celebrating my husband's birthday today and daughters boyfriend gave him a gift card for Christmas so that's where we went. He always starts with desert first, so he started with the Cookie Monster. After he ate every bit of it, he had the buttermilk chicken sandwich and fries. I started with their croissant and the 6 oz sirloin with broccoli and corn. The steak was ok, I've had better. The corn was really good. We will be back to try more items off the menu. read more

1st to this location was short. I walked in to take a seat at the bar. There was no bartender present for about 3-4 minutes. While sitting I notices gnats flying around the drafter beers. I then notice gnats sitting on the entire stack or stirring straws. Regular straws and napkins. When the bartender came I told them and stated I would not eat nor drink in this restaurant. While leaving I reported this to the manager and stated the bar should be shutdown. Horrible experience! read more

Lemon pepper chicken was great and well cooked. Our servers were attentive and apologetic when one of the items was a bit overcooked.

Food is great. Service is weird. The server kept rushing us - after lunch time. She said "You aren't going to bite me are you if I leave your check?" No, we won't bite you because you don't look like you take a shower before you go to work. You also said that last time. We would like for you to stop touching our plate. Why you in such a rush? Food was good. Ambiance was In Your Business service. read more

The crescent rolls melt in your mouth! The chicken pot pie was hot and filling. My only wish would be to have the crust on the bottom as well as the top. The service was quick and friendly read more

UPDATE 7/13/23: Cheddars corporate customer care team reached out and were fabulous. I emphasized that I wanted to ensure the server was protected, and that the manager received coaching. They're going to have the regional director ensure this happens, and they offered me a gift card for future visits even though I said we really hadn't sought any compensation throughout this. I'm really happy with how they handled it, and am updating my review and * rating. WAS, 7/8/23: I let the server know my BBQ burger was bad, completely flooding the plate with grease and had a terrible greasy rancid texture, and she was awesome removing it and sending the FOH manager to our table. The FOH then proceeded not once but twice to argue with me that he "100% guarantees that there's nothing wrong with that burger", which he hadn't even seen. Dude, don't argue with your customer over NINE DOLLARS of food. We are now paying and walking out, not ordering anything else, not even waiting for you to comp the plate. THAT WASNT THE POINT. I am letting Cheddars and Yelp know that while the server was incredible, the FOH is terrible at his job. read more

Did not like the ribs, fact is they were horrible. Seems like they had been cooked for a couple of days, smothered in Bar-BQ sauce, heated in an oven or Microwave and served. Took them home in a doggy bag and ended up throwing the entire mess out. The atmosphere was also bad, the service good, but the place was noisy and overcrowded. read more

Don't know why I thought this place is good. Just kinda hum drum. We'll start off with the wait on a Sunday evening was 20 -25 minutes, didn't look very busy. So we sat, waiting patiently, with two kids, there were five of us. Finally got up to check our status, cause we gave our grandson the phone that we were to be sent a text to. Good thing I checked, our table was ready. We were seated at the corner table in the bar area, like where you sit the kids that you don't want seen or heard. Well, it worked, we weren't seen, except by the bartender, who said she would get someone to get our order. That never happened. Finally, about 20 minutes later, saw the manager, and asked him to get us a waitress, he was kind enough to take our drink order, but we also told him we were ready to order, did I mention we had two kids with us. While the manager was taking our order, the waitress came over and asked how long we had been waiting, well, that just pissed me off. Sad to say, I didn't enjoy the rest of the time there. My wife had the Monte Cristo, which was not too bad, sweet and savory, kinda like a funnel cake batter( sweet) and ham( savory). I had the the chicken buffalo wrap, pretty bland. The kids shared the chicken tender plate, the tenders were juicy and delicious. All in all, just a below average experience. Won't visit Cheddars again. read more

I've ate at Cheddars before and enjoyed it. Not so much this time. Got seated pretty quick and looked at the menu before my server finally came. Ordered the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and a house salad before the main meal. My salad came, and my server literally put it on the table, pushed it towards me, and ran. Not 2 minutes later, my chicken fried steak came. I didn't even have a chance to have 2 bites of it after putting the dressing on it. The steak was quite large, and after cutting into it, I found out why it was this large. They pounded the crap out of it and put about 4 times the breading to steak. The top part of the breading was at least 3/4 thick with the steak, maybe 3/16 of an inch. Plus, there was only a small dollop of gravy on the steak. The potatoes were good, but even they didn't have enough gravy. My server came back one more time to ask if I needed anything. Well, maybe you could notice my empty tea and ask about it. Overall, it's not a good dinner. read more

Food was delicious and salad . We had Luis as our server and he was so friendly and came to check up on us and greeted us as we were seated and when we left. Great customer service. When we enter the place we had the host open the door for the Elderly, that is the he sweetest thing you can do for Great customer service. Thanks read more

Average at best i had the roast chicken. Really hard and rubbery. No flavor. Salad was ok. Brocolli was good. We also had chicken fried steak. It was just ok. Very disappointed. read more

Service was great, but the ribeye steak was not cooked as ordered (very dry). I was offered another one but I was in a hurry and did not want to wait, Broccoli casserole tasted like it had been there all day. I have been to other Cheddars and have always been very happy with our meals. Maybe a bad day for the cook but disappointed for what I paid. San Marcos, TX location. read more

Cheddars opened not to long ago and I'm not a fan of corporate food chains but I have to tell you this place is good and fast! Pick up is on point! Food was great and the prices weren't high at all! Give them a try if your in town! It always looks busy but they get you right in! read more

6/11/22 After a good experience back back in May during Graduation, we stopped again. JOSH is a wonderful Hostess. He's Great at finding you a place to sit as quickly as humanly possible. Today our waitress was Isabel. Our Starter was delicious ( spinach Artichoke Dip ) The catfish was unavailable, so , Isabel recommend the Spinach,Artichoke Cream Pasta. OMG - Wonderful !!!!! The wife had the scallops & shrimp. Great flavor Asparagus a bit woody. Shrimp & Scallops a bit over cooked. Over All another Great Experience ! We will try the one up in Pflugerville. read more

Went on a busy Saturday night, and our server Chelsea was amazing! She was super friendly and welcoming. She found time to be friendly and jokey with our table with a packed restaurant. It was my first time at Cheddars, and I definitely recommend it to anyone who wants good food and service. read more

I have nothing bad to say about the service or the ambiance. The food, however was okay. I did give 4 stars instead of three because the chef actually fixed my steak as I asked...no seasoning on it. The people I was with did not fair as well. Too much salt is the typical solution for places like this. No seasoning still satisfies the flavoring I like. read more

Chilleeeee this location is the epitome of terrible restaurants. Like seriously.. I come here hoping for things to get better after their grand opening! It gets worse. The manager hands out free appetizer like crazy but honestly I just won't return. 6/12/2021 I'm pretty sure they ran out of butter for the complimentary crescent roll.. because this ain't it read more

Super confused why people like this place...the food is ...not good. Tasted like lean cuisines were warmed up and served on a plate lol

We have been here several times and the food and service are consistently excellent. The portions are generous and priced well. The drinks are de read more

The service was amazing, the ambiance was just fine. The only thing my family did not like was the food. It was cooked fine and presented neatly but it was all flavorless. And because it was flavorless, the amount of food given to us was just ridiculous. Someone could easily share one plate with a partner and both people would be full. If I were to suggest anything change about the menu, I would say cut down on the amount of food being given out and please put some seasoning on the food! read more

Our family ate here today .. it was delicious and the service was exceptional. I had the chicken Alfredo and my wife had the pot pie . read more

Terrible customer service when ordering online expecting to pick up easily curbside. No one answers phone after arriving home to find missing entree items. Second time problems picking up order correctly has occurred. Won't be going back. read more

Right out the gate, our server was oozing lazy. I asked for lime in my water and he said will lemon do, because he didn't wanna have to walk to the bar to get the lime?! I got 1 lime, but nothing in my refill. No sauce with the chicken stripes (which was more breading than chicken), as he wrote down "no sauce", when he never even asked me if I wanted it?! Then my lunch partners change was $1.86 and he brings back $1? Does he not know how to count? Oh and when I finally got the honey mustard, it was stupid sweet, couldn't even eat it. This place always has had laxidasical servers, but they had good food and now that's not even something they have going for them. Sadly. read more

Wow !!! Absolutely the BEST Cheddars I've ever been too! Great waitress! Great food!! Manager checked every single table to make sure everything was going well. This Cheddars is ran really nicely and professional. I can't say enough good things! read more

Wish i could remember the name of my server because he was great. Checked up on me constantly to make sure l was good. The food was good everything i ordered tasted delicious. Wish they would have a larger drink menu but the two drinks tasted good. They have a large menu with a lot of different options. 10/10 service, 9/10 price wise, and 9/10 food wise! read more

Amazing food, service was amazing (thank you Lacy), and the restaurant itself looked and felt really nice

Very Nice Atmosphere, & great service from the waiter known as Nathan who was very attentive & kind!

Had been sitting there a good 15 minutes & never got my drink order. The Chicken Fried Steak & mash were ordered with the gravy on the side & it did not vibe that way. The gravy or batter was very spicy. No child would be able to eat that & more so if you are delicate to spicy foods. ‍ read more

OUR FAVORITE RESTAURANT IN SAN MARCOS. My wife and I go as often as we can. Wish they had military discount, but that's okay. What a great menu to pick from. Everything we try is delicious! EVERYTHING. Maui Margarita....WOW WOW WOW! SO GOOD. The little 6 oz steak, fabulous. Coconut shrimp, ribs, hamburger's, sides; WONDERFUL. Ceasar salad, the best. We drive 42 miles to eat their as often as we can. You're prices are good too, Cheddar's, thanks for that!!! read more

Gabby was our server tonight, she was incredibly sweet and very attentive! Our drinks never went less then halfway before she was back to refill them. We ordered 3 steaks a little hesitant, but each one was cooked perfectly! The atmosphere was energetic and fun. Thank you so much to all the staff for a wonderful experience! read more

We swing by today Monday afternoon. Not busy took 1.5 hours. Our food was so slow. Our drinks came after 25 mins. We love cheddars for the fact that they are usually super speedy and a good price. Super disappointed with this location. We sat there 15 mins before a server even came over to us. Definitely will go back to other locations this one seems to not know how to run efficiently even when it's a slow weekday. read more

Don't trust these employees. We ate and spent about $160. on our meal. It was very late and they were about to close when we left. Once leaving my daughter realized that she left her sunglasses on the table and immediately called to claim them (She took them out of her purse to look for something.) However, according to personnel no glasses were left behind. read more
