The BEST chicken strips I've ever had! A light, flakey, crispy coating and thick juicy chicken with a spicy mustard dipping sauce.. Extremely good! The shrimp had excellent seasoning with delicious teriyaki flavor dipping sauce. The restaurant was packed and we had to wait for about 20 minutes, but it was definitely worth the wait. Service was incredible too! read more

With everything going on in the world today it's nice to still have a good experience at a restaurant without going inside. I work nights & twice I have stopped here to get food b4 work & as always EXCELLENT choice. Called in second order manager actually took order and was extremely pleasant & the young ladies bringing food out to you are just as pleasant. Great customer service and the food is great. TY Cheddars I will return. I do think the girls running out for orders should wear something other than black only cause it's so damn hot but other than that wonderful experience. read more

Cheddars is good for an average meal. We have been here before and will be back not because it's great, but because it always sounds better than it is. I had a bacon burger that was raw in the middle. I know rare and this was raw. My wife had the monte cristo and it was ok but not as good as it has been in the past. The onion rings were great and that is the only thing we were glad we ordered. The staff was friendly and efficient and everything was clean. read more

This place is awesome!!! The honey croissants are amazing!! All the food here was really good. The atmosphere was great. And the price was not expensive at all, especially for the quality of food served. This restaurant gets a solid five stars. read more

My son wanted to come here for their honey crescents, so here we went. We walked in and the place was not busy at all. Tables open all over. We were greeted by an unfriendly hostess who had this look of "I hate people" on her face. (We all have bad days I get it, but lets be professional in the eyes of the public). I put my name in and she said "its going to be 15-20 minutes, you sure you want to wait" uhhhh....yeah? Moving along, my son was holding the little buzzer and the hostess came out and said "I was buzzing you 4, didn't you see the buzzer go off?" At this point, I wanted to walk away and tell my son to suck it up, but...I took one for the team and tried to ignore her behavior. We were walking to our table when I asked the young lady who was escorting us for the name of the hostess, when she turned around and looked at me and then kept walking. She said her name under her breath and I think I heard it, but not completely sure. Anyways..I gave this place 2 stars because the waitress was nice and the food was delicious. We ordered 2 honey crescent starters and a artichoke dip with chips. I had their delicious blackened white fish (OMG ya'll so good). My husband ordered the steak which was cooked to his liking and my son ordered a burger. I do recommend their food, however, I don't recommend the front staff. They need to have better people at the front of their business that actually can handle dealing with the public. read more

This place used to be awesome. We used to jgo there every week, but not anymore because they are going cheap and cut down the quality and quantities of the food. read more

Have not been here for a few years. We sat right down on a Saturday afternoon and ordered appetizers easier to make a list. 1. There was a hair in our queso dip. They did replace it and brought extra chips 2. my wife ordered grilled Salmon and ended up with blackened salmon that was way to salty. 3. My son ordered a sirloin to be cooked medium, it came out well done. 4. Every time we have visited the floors have been slippery, they still are, my wife almost fell when we were leaving. We spoke to a manager, they took the charge off for all of my wife's Salmon and half of my son's steak since he ate most if it anyways. friendly and helpful staff but it is seriously lacking in quality. read more

Pretty good food, pretty slow service. On the plus side I think we won the "Full Table Challenge"! Our waiter didn't take a single plate, cup, or platter. We were actually surprised when the check was picked up. read more

Even though it was a Saturday night we did not have to wait to be seated . The restaurant was fairly busy. The food was very good. I ordered the coconut shrimp and chicken tenders combo and the serving was ample. The waitress was very attentive. Overall good comfort food read more

I saw this restaurant open up and did not go immediately, purposly. Anyway, my waitress opened the conversation wih "Im busy". Clue number one. She could not handle a table of eight. So, she choose to totally ignore my party. We finally placed our order and had the salmon and shrimp. One and a half hours later we received our food. No garnishes, no sauce, no knives or forks no nothing. I had to push my glass over to the edge of the table to get her attention that I needed another drink. No luck. She would not look me in the eye. So, then I asked for the check and she said she was busy. Finally when the check came I reluctantly added a tip. No manager was available, the place was not full and nobody cared. This was my WORST restaurant experience I have ever had in my life. I also was an owner of five of my own restaurants in Europe. Also, the table behind me had to send their steak back three times. Total mismanagement. THIS IS A PLACE I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO AND WILL TELL EVERYONE IN LAKE MARY to also stay away.. read more

As part of a mixed use development, the area on St. Johns Parkway and Rhinehart Road will soon be playing host to Long Horn Steakhouse, Carrabba's, Buffalo Wild Wings and Central Florida's first Cheddar's Casual Cafe that recently opened. The neighborhood-style restaurant was founded in 1979 by Aubrey Good and Doug Rogers in Arlington, Texas and has more than 135 company owned and franchise locations in 23 states. Inside you will find an interior that includes solid cherry and walnut butcher block tabletops and cedar mill work with a granite bar top and a 400-gallon freshwater fish tank. Cheddar's serves steaks, chicken, seafood, burgers, salads and desserts, along with a full service bar in an 8000 square foot restaurant that can seat up to 288 guests. My wife ordered the Steak and Shrimp. This a center cut top sirloin that is supposed to be grilled to your liking, that comes with shrimp cooked any way you prefer. I say supposed to be, because.....apparently The folks at Cheddars newest location couldn't cook a steak properly if their life depended on it. The steak was ordered "Medium"---It came out blackened and burnt to a crisp....so it got sent back. Forty minutes later, they sent a steak that was actually burnt on the outside and raw in the middle....as in the cow was still mooing raw. How they managed that feat is pretty amazing. By the time we received the second steak, everyone at the table was done with their food, and sending it back a third time would have been futile. Our server did apologize, but we were offered no discounts in return for the terrible cuts of meat they tried to serve us repeatedly. read more

I usually never write bad reviews, but I'll make an exception this time. I took my Dad here last Sunday for Father's day. We were seated and waited for our waitress to take our drink orders, only she never came. After about 20 mins I got up to find a hostess whom was very polite and advised she will let our waitress know. Waitress arrives moments later and we order our drinks and appetizers. Then we waited...and waited, about 45 mins after being seated appetizers and drinks finally make an appearance...I decided to just let it go, figured they must be busy because it's Father's day. No appetizer plates though...I asked If we could have some. I was told the dishwasher in the kitchen is not working, so no appetizer plates...fine, whatever. Then we ordered our dinner...15 mins tick by, then 30, then 45. By this point I'm noticing all the other tables around us have their food, even those seated long after us and with much larger parties. Our waitress has disappeared into the void and with no sign of her returning again I go speak with the hostess. She apologizes and moments later our waitress makes her return. She asks if there is a problem, SERIOUSLY!? Yes, we've been waiting two hours and have only seen you maybe three times!! Of course there is a problem. I refrained from actually saying this to her, but mentioned the extreme wait time for our food, to which she replied she had been there since early that morning and there are issues with the kitchen staff....exactly what I wanted ot hear... Didn't even give an apology from her. More time ticks by...no sign of food or waitress....I see a manager walk by and flag him down. I explain the situation to him, he apologizes and explains our food will be out right away. A few moments later it does arrive....cold...my steak, which i had ordered to be cooked rare...was cook so well done it was practically shoe leather, and the sides were not even luke warm...my dad was missing his two side dishes and no sauces were provided for my mom's chicken tenders...our drinks had not been refilled in so long the ice had turned to water and I was starting to lose my sh*t. Our waitress asked how everything looked at which point I advised my steak, that was meant to be rare, is well done...she then tells me "yeah the kitchen staff can't cook a steak for anything" I could not believe what I had just heard and then let her know I'd be needing to see a manger again. Manger comes back over "how is everything?" he asks....I advise not very good...showed him my steak and advised him of the cold and missing items....he advising he will rectify the situation...my mom and dad start eating and finish well before i get my steak, which is now at least cooked correctly. I eat it and then we begin the wait for the bill...and we wait...and we wait! I grab the waitress as she hurries by, attempting to avoid my eye contact. I ask her for the check and she states she will be right back...I catch an eye roll from her before she turns her back. Unacceptable, then the check comes... Now usually, when a manger has been called to a table twice in one night, with the amount of issues we had, you'd expect maybe in the interest of trying to make up for the inconvenience, some kind of compensation would have been offered. Nope nothing....nothing for the two and a half hours wasted...nothing for the poor service, nothing for the overcooked food or missing items....NOTHING, NADA, ZIP, ZILCH! We begrudgingly paid our bill and left. I am so disappointed with Cheddars , I can say without shadow of a doubt this is the WORST dining experience I have ever had ANYWHERE! It ruined what was supposed to be a nice evening out with my Dad for Father's day. We are from Louisville and have been to the Cheddars there many many times and never had an issue. My parents just moved here from Louisville and were very excited to be able to continue dinning at Cheddars, but after this I doubt they will want to. So disappointed with the customer service, I say dine here at your own risk. ***One more fun fact, the sinks in the bathrooms did not have water, and I saw numerous wait staff coming in and out of there...Bon Appetit! read more

They opened recently so my wife and I decided to give it a try. We waited a long time and after it arrived, we both had to return our food-hers was cold and mine was barely warm (waitress was so slow). We waited again. This time much better. Food was okay, nothing special. We then ordered food to go. The waitress brought the bill asking about dessert and we said "no just the to go food" and she said -while taking away the bill, "oh yes let me check on that". We are not stupid, she forgot to put the order in. Just like she forgot to check on our food that sat in the kitchen getting cold and to see if we wanted another drink. To-go food came and the waffle was a brick. We asked for another one. Well guess who forgot again. The manager was useless. I know they are new but have some experienced managers and waiters that know what the heck they are doing so they can help the new employees. read more

My experience at Cheddar's was so awful, it's comical. Seriously, I relay the experience of the worst service ever and get lots of laughs at their expense. It was Girls Night Out, a show and dinner. My party of 4 arrived at Cheddar's around 9pm on a Friday night. We were seated fairly quickly, though the restaurant was busy. Our server took our drink orders and left. He was visibly stressed, telling us that he was exhausted after working a double shift. I suppose this was to justify the extremely long periods of time between visits to our table. We ordered the delicious honey croissants (which is where the 2nd star was earned) and preceded to wait for our appetizer and salads. We waited. And waited. And waited. He visited us again to ask us which salad dressings we ordered again. Then we waited. And waited. And waited. Yes! He returns with 2 (out of 4) bowls of salad with NO dressing, telling us "Don't fight over these salads. We don't have any plates in the back. I actually had to wash these dishes myself and I'm not supposed to do that." Well, sir, you probably aren't supposed to tell your patrons that you washed their dishes. When I'm eating out, I don't want to think about the people washing my plates and utensils in the back. That's why they are in the kitchen and not in the middle of the restaurant. He did not bring the dressing because he forgot what kind we wanted, though he asked us multiple times. We told him that we probably wouldn't be fighting over any salad without dressing because that is really an essential component to any salad. Ha ha. He laughs. And doesn't bring us any salad dressing. When he returns with 2 more bowls of dry salad, he tells us that we should come back again around 4 or 5 when they aren't as busy to be sure that they have enough dishes for our food. Um. Ok, dude. Or, maybe you need to talk to your manager about buying more dishes. Eventually, our dressing came, as did our food, though he forget to bring our appetizer of honey croissant rolls. I can't really tell you how the food was because I was so distracted by the awful service. It must not have been too phenomenal if I don't remember anything about the meal itself. read more

This place is very nice inside. Lots of stone work there. Please READ THE REVIEWS POSTED BEFORE YOU EAT THERE!!! The service is beyond slow, if it was any slower, there wouldn't be any. Drink refills? Forget it! After you are seated, there's a 15 minutes wait to be served, even after you server has walked by twice. Burgers are cheap, decent, only cooked well done, beware! Potato skins were decent, chicken fingers have absolutely no flavor. Takes about an hour and a half at lunch time. Ridiculous. read more

Like most reviews here, my review will confirm this place definitely lacks what most of us go searching for when we sit down for dinner. The service is absolutely, ABSOLUTELY MISERABLE. It always takes FOREVER to be seated, which i can't justify knocking a star off for that, because you are make the decision to stay after being given the wait time. I have been to this restaurant a total of 4 times. I have had problems with each time except the first one which I had when they first opened. Drinks remain unfilled, orders don't come out with proper requests, any special request (i.e. lemon) will not be honored- bring your own, server attentiveness is nowhere to be find. You could drop your glass and break it, and they would just step over it and not bring you a new one. Management is full of excuses. Every time I've been there, there has always been a crisis- but don't worry, they aren't making excuses. The overall food quality is rather good. I would compare it to a Cracker Barrel homestyle food, but not as heavy. The atmosphere is great, it's a shame the service is so horrible. If you are willing to make multiple requests for drinks and/or special requests, send your food back at least once, and spend 2+ hours for one meal for 2 people- this place may work for you. If not, I'd recommend visiting any of the other restaurants that have opened nearby- Longhorn, Carrabbas or Red Robin. read more

The first thing that caught my attention was the service. It was great! Deborah, our waitress was very kind & helpful with our orders. The hostess was also helpful in sitting our party of 7. To begin we had free honey batter croissants which were quite appetizing. I really enjoyed the country fried chicken dinner. I substituted for mac & cheese and broccoli with cheese. The chickens were cooked well--really delicious. The mac & cheese was not what i was expecting as it was pretty runny, and a little cold... reminded me more of a box mac & cheese. My friends had similar opinions on it. But the steamed broccoli was amazing & steamed perfectly. Overall, the prices are pretty good for what you get, i'm not sure if i'd go back often but definitely would go every once in a while, and the service is perfect. read more

The Good... Good value for what you get. Very cheap. Beautiful Restaurant. The Bad... Don't expect great service. It may because they are new. Servers are very young, and you can tell by their table manors, most of them have never served before. Would like to see a few older servers with more experience. But maybe that's all they could get in Sanford. We will go back tho... Enjoyed it. read more

Went again and had same impression as my first visit. When we entered the restaurant, a hostess and manager were conversing at the hostess stand. We stood there for a good two minutes before either acknowledged our presence at all. When the hostess sat us, she squeezed us past waiters taking orders instead of taking a clear path. My friend was brought the wrong order, and the waitress told us she had to argue with the cooks because they saw the name of the dish she rang up and made a different dish... and insisted that it was the right dish. The food is all frozen/canned/pre-packaged... it's Applebee's or Steak & Shake with a better atmosphere (it's the Olive Garden of American food). I won't refuse to go here with friends if they really want to, but I won't be excited about it. read more

Ok....this restaurant has been open for a couple of weeks by the time we stopped in. It a Wednesday (July 31), at exactly 5 p.m. It was already fairly busy inside but we didn't have to wait for a table. Hostess was friendly and in a good mood. We were seated at a booth (at our request), our server stopped over quickly and took our drink orders. I asked about their gluten free menu, and she said she had to go look. They don't have a printed gluten free menu. Ok...they're still new (although I found out later that they have a lot of restaurants across the country so they really need to get with it). As I waited for her to come back with their gluten free options, I perused the menu to see what I could have. Not much, as it turns out. She came back and told me pretty much what I already knew....I would be eating steak and veggies. That's fine. I eat steak and veggies a lot. My husband ordered the jalapeño burger and I order the 8 oz sirloin with broccoli and carrots. We also ordered cocktails. I had the Yellowtail Chardonnay and my husband had a whiskey with diet and lime. (they don't have happy hour here) When the food came out, I was surprised to see my steak and veggies sitting on top of a mound of breaded and fried onion straws. I told the guy that brought it out (not our server) that I could not eat that food. I need to eat gluten free and I had told our server that. I made sure he knew that my food couldn't just be re-plated, I needed all new food and a new plate. I told him that I was really afraid the kitchen would just re-plate. He assured me that he wouldn't let that happen. He came back and let me know that he threw out the food so the kitchen couldn't just re-plate and I was very grateful for that (although I guess it would have been cool if someone in the kitchen got to eat it). As my husband ate his burger (which he really enjoyed) I waited for my food. When it came out, the steak was WAY underdone. I had ordered it medium and it was close to rare. I'm sure they were just trying to get my food out fast but ....no good. So....I had to send it back AGAIN. By the time it came back it was tough and mealy. Not very tasty at all. I'm not sure it was even seasoned. The broccoli was unseasoned as well but the carrots were DELICIOUS!! Very sweet, obviously cooked with sugar or brown sugar. Very good. So, all in all, I'm not sure if we'll go back to this place. There aren't many options for someone that needs to eat gluten free. The service is still pretty spotty....so you might want to wait awhile until they get things under control. read more

We ate at this Cheddar's last night. First impressions were good. The restaurant is nice. The fish tank is amazing. Our server, Travis was on the ball and really attentive without being intrusive. That's where the good points end. First the restaurant was freezing cold! Our party was trying to keep warm. The food was a little slow coming out. Once it was in front of me I was disappointed. I ordered a half rack of ribs with Mac and cheese and broccoli casserole. Both of the sides were drowning in fake cheese sauce. My husband's salmon was overcooked. I absolutely HATED this restaurant and will not be returning. read more

Had a really good experience here because we arrived at 9:45pm and didn't have to wait for seating. The kitchen and bar were not slammed so we got drinks and appetizer quickly. Our server, Danielle M., was patient and cheerful, liked her service style and she seemed genuinely enthusiastic that it was our first time here. We had the sampler appetizer with beef nachos, cheese sticks, and chicken fingers. This was huge, why did we get it?! It was good, nothing unique about it, but large portions and good for sharing with 3 or 4 people. For my entree I had the jalapeño burger and a side of mashed potatoes. The burger had a buttery toasted bun and breaded deep fried jalapeños, spicy and delicious. I tried a mini dessert strawberry cheesecake for $.99, it was just about a 3-bite dessert, perfect size. What I really liked about the place is that it was dark, cozy and a relaxed atmosphere. Reminded me of Seasons 52 or Houston's inside, lots of wood and brick walls with subdued lighting only on the tables. Next time I go (already planning to go back) I'll try the spiked cherry limeade and order a small meal. Overall a nice American style place with large portions. read more

This place is always packed, and after two visits, I fail to see why. The first time we went, I just ordered an appetizer of cheese fries. So many things on their menu didn't look good to me so I played it safe. I asked for no bacon, it came back with bacon. Well, when they brought it back, it had just been scraped off, had a bit more cheese thrown on top (not melted) and that was the remedy. It was cold, nasty, and covered in bacon grease. I was disgusted and didn't even eat it. The second time I went was because my husband begged me to give it another chance. I got the New Orleans pasta. It was cold, and except for the paprika, it had zero flavor. I'm not a picky eater, so if you can't please me, it's really awful. The service the first time wasn't bad, except that the waitress gave our bank card to another table who did not turn it in so we had to cancel our card and deal with the bank for a less than stellar meal. The second time we had an awful waiter who never brought refills, spent more time flirting with the bartender than waiting tables, and spilled blood from a steak down my shirt because he wasn't paying attention to his tray. Needless to say, a third visit from me will NEVER happen. read more

Everything about my experience was wrong. First they sat us at a table by the main foot traffic and nothing on our order was correct. I had such high standards for this place but it's more like a friendlys with good furniture. I would not go back for any reason. read more

Very good food, a little overpriced but worth it if you get the right things. I love/recommend the chicken pot pie and broccoli casserole, maybe not together but they're both really good. The service is okay, the hostesses working are usually awkward or rude but the waiters are pretty good. read more

So happy they opened a Cheddars out here. I always enjoyed eating there when I was living in Texas. My table was lucky we had a good waiter after seeing all of the bad reviews on service. I hope that Cheddars will eventually improve on their service; they are a good Restaurant with big portions for the price you pay. Love the spinach dip! read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Chicken fried chicken dish - Comfort Food Near Me - Sanford, Florida

We didn't have to wait for a table for 4, but it was 30 min. to wait to receive our appetizer. The triple sampler had potato skins that looked as if someone had sat on them they were almost flat looking. The Cheese nuggets were good but, they were skimpy, hardly any on the plate and the chicken tenders, too. Only had 3 small pieces, but they tasted good. Our food arrived 30 minutes after that and all 4 entrees & sides were cold. The waitress took it all back and a manager visited our table to apologize, saying the food would be right out...it took another 20 minutes after that and some of the items were cold again. The broccoli casserole is poorly made and tasteless (and cold). It's liquid cheese poured over it and then sprinkled with crushed saltines, yuchhh! The service was pretty good, the waitress Chrissy was attentive and highly apologetic about the whole experience. We've all decided, collectively that we would never return although, I usually will try a restaurant 2 or 3 times before making that decision, but not in this case. Save your money! read more

I drive by here pretty regularly on my way to the 417 and the parking lot is always packed. After reading some of the reviews I was less than enthused about stopping in here for lunch with some coworkers. Happy to report, everything was great! We waited for the lunch rush to pass before heading over. We let our friendly server know we needed to get back to the office and asked for his recommendations. I enjoyed the fish tacos, a few salads were ordered and a cajun pasta. Everyone enjoyed their food, the quality of the fish in the fish tacos was very nice. Great corn relish, which they were nice enough to serve on the side for me in case of raw onion overload. (not an issue) and our checks were quickly settled. Our server was really attentive and appreciated our communication on our time limits. I'd go back again, without hesitation. I'd also split an order of the crazy good looking onion rings we saw passing by. Yum! We took soup back for a co worker and she was very happy with the Potato Soup. read more

Great prices and awesome food! Our server Chris made the night. We were a party of 15 and everyone loved what they ordered: mango tilapia, montecristo, buffalo wrap, chicken pot pie, cornbread coated fish, and a spicy pasta dish. Very good value for what they give you price wise. We will come back for sure! read more

I came into Cheddar's on a Saturday for a late lunch. This place was packed. Luckily we were able to get a seat at the bar for our 30 minute wait. The bartenders were super nice. Once seated it was business as usual. The food was good, I had the soup and salad with a side of their delicious, warm and sweet crescent rolls. Our waitress was friendly with us, but her included I noticed not a single waiter was smiling. They all walked around with scowls on their face. This did not translate in their customer interaction, just something I noticed. I've been to Cheddar's in Johnson City, TN and Asheville, NC, and this one fits right in with my home town counterparts. A great addition to the busy Sanford area. read more

Cheddar's is my wife and I's favorite place to eat. They are excellent. We got steak and chicken strips the last time there. The steak was ordered medium and it was spot on. Time before that we got the Monte Cristo. Service is great. Love the decor of the restaurant with the huge fish tank. read more

I cannot believe I am giving a chain restaurant 4 stars; I rarely eat at chains and even more rare are the times when I enjoy the experience. A good evening out always comes down to great service and we had a better than great server. Wish I could remember his name and give him a shout out! He was efficient, attentive, friendly, everything you want from a server. (5+ stars) I ordered a cocktail (unusual start for me) and it was delicious - Texas Sweet Tea (5 stars). I had the chicken and shrimp with pineapple salsa which was good (3 stars). The only other negative was the long delay to be seated (40 minutes) and the 30+ minutes to get the food (which the server handled very well) While I would prefer to try a locally owned option next time I am in the area, I would not be opposed to going here again. read more

This was our second visit. Web site said opened at 1030. They don't After 15 minutes finally found my drink couldn't be made because frozen drink machine wasn't frozen. Lol So canceled drink 15 minutes later they brought drink Server was pleasant Still waiting for our food. This was our second visit. Came for the Monte Christo. Probably won't return read more

The food is good but the service is super slow. I know it's new, but I think everyone they hired has no experience. I went twice just to be sure and the service was actually worse the second time. I'll go back, but not for awhile. I'll let them get through the growing pains first. On the positive, good value and good mixture of choices. They'll figure it out. read more

The food is good! The kitchen is slowwwww. Been here in our table for 45 minutes just got served our appetizer! I'm guessing if you come be alone or a small table it seems to move quicker, we are a table of 8 when we got. Our food two plates were cold! All in all good food good prices but very slow service! read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Alfredo - Comfort Food Near Me - Sanford, Florida

I wouldn't bother, I wish I also had listened to the reviews. Although the building is nice outside, it is very dark and nosey inside. Considering it wasn't busy at the time we went, it was overly nosey The service is just not there, the food cold. First time, and last, took over twenty minutes to get even a drink Once we got drinks, took another fifteen minutes to see our waitress again. The food came cold, she never retuned to ask if we needed anything. The salmon was so thick with a sweet sauce my daughter couldn't eat it, potatoes cold no gravy. Husband and my steak cold, shrimp cold and tough. our baked potatoes had a few pieces of cheese, no butter, little sour cream, tasted like water. Spent over two hours there, most of it wondering why everyone else had service but us. If I have to wait on a meal I am fine with it, as long as a waiter or waitress stops by once in a while, asks if you need a refill on drinks, anything. Nothing.... I would have said something if anyone bothered to come over, no one did,the waitress dropped the check and never came back, we paid on the way out. I have never been treated so badly worse experience ever! Very disappointing to wait so long for food that was cold, over cooked, to sweet. I would listen to the reviews here, as most who give this place a 2 or less star rating are spot dead on. I for one won't bother to return. read more

Lunch at Cheddar's Ticket: 20036 We went to Cheddar's restaurant for lunch. We've been once before and enjoyed it. I got the Dijon Chicken with no mushrooms, steamed broccoli and coleslaw. The slaw came in a bowl on the plate. I almost ate the entire meal when I noticed something white was stuck to the plate where my slaw bowl once sat. I was hardened chewing gum! I had eaten almost ALL of my meal before noticing this! I was so discusted, wanting my stomach pumped. The manger removed the meal from our bill, stating that it was unacceptable and apologized profusely; however, she never introduced herself, we are assuming she was the manager. It's safe to say we will not be returning. I KNOW that several people handled the plate before it got to our table. It's like someone spitting in my mouth and offering to purchase me a 10.00 meal as compensation. Unacceptable!.!.!.! read more

First time ever eating at a Cheddars and what a wonderful evening! Drinks were good, food was absolutely delicious but it was the service that wowed us. Our waiter James was a delight and kept things flowing throughout our time there. The manager checked on us, brought us fresh cookies since it was our first time there and was very pleasant. We were made to feel very welcome and appreciated there. Awesome food and atmosphere! read more

As much I want to like this place (the lemon croissants are amazing), it was just bad. We had 14 of us in the party (work outing) and every order got the wrong sides (some no sides at all). Not only that, I told them what I got (corn) wasn't what I ordered (mac and cheese & fries) and they never brought the correct items. Same with water refills. "Could I get a refill?
