Well that was deeeelish!! First off their fries were amazing.... I could have seriously just had a huge plate of fries and been happy. This was my first time at Cheddars and I will definitely be going again. The Smokehouse burger was amazing!! *see pic* and the prices weren't bad too. The burger it's self was less than $5 and the fries were another $2 but you can actually add any side. My friend got a top shelf margarita and it was huge and she said had a lot of alcohol and it was only $6!! The cheese dip and salsa was so so but with great service and great over all meal and experience, my visit was truly worth 5 stars :) read more

I only came back to visit because cheddars manager personally invited me back to lunch and cheddars sent me a gift certificate because of the horrid first visit. It's a busy Sunday afternoon. Hostess Sat us at a booth. We began to look at the menu. Cody B. (waiter) came by and politely ask us for our drink orders. He was extremely wonderful! He came back our drinks and we ordered a triple treat. Nachos, potato skins and mot sticks. It was delish. It was enough for a family of 4 to share. I ordered a tilapia with mango salsa with edamame,& bake potato. Yum!! My children shared the grilled chicken Alfredo. They loved it. My daughter ordered the Caesar salad and it had a little too much dressing. The honey butter croissant was mouth heaven. My husband ordered a steak and tenders. He said the steak was ok. The tenders were pretty good. Overall it was not a bad place when you get better service. The food is actually good. Not a place to have a steak though. The bathrooms were clean. read more

I sat at the bar for 3 night's straight for drinks and dinner. 2 nice tv's for sports and atmosphere was great also. The food and prices are really amazing! Drew the bartender makes everything even better, he really does a great job and makes sure everything is perfect! I highly recommend! read more

The food was fantastic. The monte cristo was delicious. The flaky crust, that is not too crispy nor too soft that allows that texture to reverberate as you continue your bite into the amazing cheese, etc. The croissant that they give in the beginning is extremely fresh and warm, with an amazing sweet buttery-like drizzle on top. The service was competent and on top of it. read more

Can't recommend this location... Been several times to cheddar's by the rim with good experiences... Total opposite for Selma location. 15-20 wait more like 30. Hostesses wandering with guests in tow trying to figure out where they were supposed to seat them. No server, then 2 show up, one right after the other. HAIRS IN FOOD!: After long wait for food, fried catfish arrived swimming in watery green bean juice (should have drained them better or better yet, served them in a bowl), then found a hair embedded in the top of tartar sauce, hostess started to take catfish back to switch out, and was going to leave hairy tartar sauce! Then found ANOTHER hair in my baked pototo! Not same type of hair either! YUCK! Asked for manager, took him 15 to arrive - may have been waitresses fault. He did comp our meal and offered replacement food, but we had lost our appetites! Manager also gave us his card for 2 free entrees next visit - but I don't think we'll be in a hurry to take him up on it. Almost 2 hours for lunch WE DIDN'T EAT! About 2PM on a Sunday, very busy, maybe they are better when it's slow. Seemed very chaotic and disorganized. read more

Scarce menu, no seating and once they texted for a seat the area was still dirty. Instead of cleaning the area quickly the bartender tried to convince us that people would be walking in and out near our booth constantly. High prices for very few items and no ambiance at all. We decided to leave for another restaurant that was more accommodating... even during Covid there are ways to treat your customers nicely. read more

This Cheddar's is one of my favorite places. I love their sweet tea and strawberry lemonade. I enjoy the chicken wraps they're are Yum read more

Went with the family for dinner, it was very tasty. Portion sizes were good for the price. The server was friendly and very efficient. She kept our glasses full and check up on us regularly. read more

I've been there five or six times now, so I thought it was time I wrote a review for them. As I've said in other reviews, I really want to like them, but there is just something keeping them from a four or five star review. Chicken fried steak, burgers, club sandwich and Monte Cristo sandwich were all excellent. The first of two downers I experienced was the fried chicken and waffles. The Belgian waffle was kinda dry and so were the chicken tenders it was served with. The second item that was a miss was the fish tacos. This was mainly because they were served on flour tortillas instead of corn. I'm normally not a fan of corn tortillas, but for some reason fish tacos requires corn instead of flour tortillas. The other item keeping them from four stars is their service. Sometimes the service is really good, but the majority of the time, it is very slow - for food as well as drink refills. It's not at the point where I wouldn't go back, but it is getting close. I've watched the wait staff and they are always busy, so I really find it hard to blame them - I think the bottom line is they need more wait staff. Prices are really good considering the food quality. The end. ;-) read more

Good food. Not the best but ok. Steak was cooked well but not the best steak I have ever had. Broccoli and rice casserole was GREAT. Ran into a friend and went stalker seflie style on her. Service was great. Nice place. read more

It's been a long time since I have had service this bad. We sat at their bar to have lunch, it was dirty, had to ask for it to be wiped down by the server "Isidro". Took 15 minutes for him to take our drink order. When I ran out of iced tea he just ignored the empty glass, when I asked for a refill he said he would and then never did. I had to ask twice. When my girlfriend's glass of sprite ran dry he refilled it with water. Really??? We wont be back. read more

Service was excellent and the food was good. Now the drinks, the drinks were to die for . Enjoyed my time eating and relaxing. I would definitely return. The pain killer will get you right! read more

The chicken Caesar salad was terrible. The chicken slices were thin and dried out. It looked as though they used old dried out left over chicken. It was so gross I couldn't eat it. Everything else we had was average. read more

This time around, Cheddar's got it right! We were greeted upon entering and promptly taken to our table. The food was properly cooked (the buffalo chicken wrappers). We requested the buffalo sauce to be on the side, which they did. The fries weren't drenched in oil, wet, or mushy. The portion size was good enough to eat, get full, and have leftovers to take to go! The restroom was clean, the manager was friendly as well as the waiter. The manager gave us change and was really helpful. The waiter was super attentive even after we had already paid. We were told to have a great evening as we left. The interior is really cool! I like the fish tanks they have inside of the restaraunt. Keep up the great work guys! read more

Cheddar Scratch Kitchen was recommended by one of our relatives on FB. Kinda leery since many of the customer reviews were castigating this restaurant chain for various reasons. Google reviews were at the 5 star level. As we entered we received a friendly reception and were led to a booth in the bar area. Not the best of locations but OK. Chris started & ended as our number one waiter. In between two others served us. Delivered the food and brought carryout boxes. My wife ordered their babyback rib special and I went for the Smokehouse Burger. One of the Appetizers on menu which we ordered was four Buttery Croissants for $2.99. There is none better anywhere. Food was plentiful & tasty. Side order of French Fries could be better displayed than spreading the fries over a large plate. Prices were reasonable. Our bill for rwo was under $26.00. read more

Service was great, and the food was delicious. The atmosphere of the place was also very welcoming, and quite enjoyable. Perfect place to dine if you're looking for many different choices of foods, and want good service! read more

Came here with my husband and had Drew as my bartender, he was very sweet and such a pleasure. Spinach dip is a must and the chicken tenders are sooooo yummy! read more

Our first time trying this restaurant and I have to say, wow. We just happened by chance upon it and decided to try it. Staff was professional and polite, atmosphere and decor was beautiful and the food was amazing. I had the chicken pot pie and I have to say that it is the best one I have ever had. We will be returning to try more food. read more

They are one of the only places that still has a Monte Christo sandwich on the menu and there's is good but they have changed the bread that they put on it and it's not nearly as traditional the raspberry dipping sauce is delicious and it's still good but it's not as good as it used to be all and although it's a great food for a very reasonable price read more

Waitress was pleasant although appeared a bit overwhelmed! Food arrived after a 45 minute wait and was tasty although when it was delivered we placed a to go order....still waited for that order over 30 minutes. The slow kitchen took away from the overall dining experience. We saw the low ratings on Yelp although wanted to give it another try. Not sure we will back. I typically do not give this low of a rating although the extensive time was a deal breaker. read more

I really wanted to give a better rating....I feel like the only reason this place is in business is because other customers couldn't get into any place else. Our server started of really nice and friendly but, messed up the drink order, forgot sides and then didn't check on us (we were ready leave) for 45 minutes. The fried cheese was NOTHING but grease, chicken tenders had no flavor and we had to try and track down another server for basic needs like silverware and a to go box. Anytime we needed anything other servers would literally ignore us! The would make eye contact as we were asking a question and walk away. Very mediocre at best. read more

We tried to get in line online, it said no wait. We get there ans there's a 15 min wait they say. Ok. 30 mins later I go ask and they say we're next, and when I ask what's something quick we could order (we had somewhere se to be) they said nothing, the kitchen was really slow. I do very much appreciate they're honesty! But we left at that point and won't be back. read more

Drew at the bar area is awesome! He served the food fast, and he's very polite. Always enjoy when he's working the bar area. Plus really good food! read more

Placed a order to go when I arrived apparently my order was never placed. We had to re-order in person and waited another 30 minutes, we then got a text that our order was picked up which it wasn't. Do not place any to go orders here, the service isn't good there's better options. read more

Wow very poor service, no silver ware, given plastic knives and forks, for chicken fried steak! Let's just say it was disaster trying to cut my chicken. Long waits for drinks, and refills. However food was great! read more

They seated us quickly and the customer service was great. The hostess was pleasant and our server, Madison had exceptional customer service. She was attentive and inviting. Our order was brought out promptly. Thank you for a pleasant evening. read more

Our dining experience was AWFUL!!! Our server was extremely neglectful. My husbands order was forgotten and not served until 10 minutes after everyone else was served. A hair was found in my mom's food. I would not eat here if the food was free!!!!! read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Our tip to the wait staff and the kitchen staff!!! - Comfort Food Near Me - Selma, Texas

Recommended by a friend we decided to try it out today. We both ordered a cheeseburger. Neither of us could eat them. I'm pretty sure it wasn't even beef. The very sweet waitress wanted us to talk to a manager but we needed to go so we opted out. On the way home both of us felt sick to our stomachs. Not sure how they can say from scratch because they are not fresh or good. FrieS were good and the bread was yummy. We may try another time and stay away from the burgers. Maybe with the Covid19 they substituted beef for something else. They should have told us that though. read more

First experience dining out on Wed. June 10th since March. My drink had someone else's lipstick on it and other glasses didn't feel clean. With all that's going on you would think they'd be more sanitary. I only gave it 2 stars because the service and food was great. read more

Got seated by the host in a reasonable amount of time but waited for about 10 min before walking out because a server never came. Ended up going across the highway to Chuy's. read more

Management skills and organizational skills were lacking. Manager had us wait two hours for our table, which was fine, and once our two hours were up she added another hour then told us we could not be helped due to our party size and they were closing in an hour and a half. Wish she would have told us from the beginning instead of making us wait two hours for nothing. People were coming in and out and the ones that came after us were seated before us. Worst experience ever won't be coming back. read more

Party of 5 (4 adults and one child) Saturday 12:30pm. The food was yummy, but the service was lacking. We received the yummy bread with honey butter to start off. But no silverware or napkins. (Fingers get sticking from the honey butter). We asked for the silverware and napkins when our appetizer (spinach dip) arrived, but silverware and napkins did not arrive. (Originally ordered the cheese bites, but we were informed they were out of them) Our meals arrived: still no silverware or napkins. The jelly/jam was missing from the plate with the Monty-Christo sandwich. We had to ask again silverware and napkins and the missing jelly/jam. Silverware finally arrived and we could finally begin eating . I asked for some salt. The waitress said she would get me some....then returned to say they are out of salt. That's strange...a restaurant out of salt! I will say it again, the food was yummy but the service is lacking read more

This place used to be great but for the past couple of months the cooks have gone from bad to worse! The wait time for our food was ridiculous and when it arrived we were beyond disappointed. The steak was half fat and missing the bourbon sauce they charged us extra for. The chicken fried steak was burned to a crisp. The manager brought us a new chicken fried steak in less than 5 minutes so it was unfortunately undercooked and inedible. We kept giving this place chances thinking they would eventually get good cooks again. Nope. The waiters have also been switched out too much meaning slow and forgetful service. All around this place has really gone down the toilet. We give up. read more

One star each for: cleanliness, service, food/drinks and atmosphere. If it was a unique (not franchise) place, it would definitely get that extra star. I like that you can expect quality and consistency with the menu. My favorite adult beverage is their Painkiller. I have been to various Cheddars throughout the country and feel this one does have particularly nicer service than most. I have had most items on their menu, from soups/salads to burgers, fish, chicken and steak entrees. The croissant that comes with the salad is delish, and their caesar dressing does not taste canned. They have nailed the cook on my steaks every time, the burgers are constantly juicy and the chicken/fish have been cooked appropriately constantly as well. It is a go-to place for the family. It would be a bonus if they gave military discount ;). read more

I can't think of a single reason to not issue 5 stars here. In all seriousness, my ribs were the mouth-watering, fall-of-the-bone kind. The spinach dip was as good as any I've had on the chain restaurant tour. Service was smooth, timing of food and service good. Apparently the scratch kitchen is legit. Hope it is true. It sure tasted like it! read more

Smallest portion I've ever had. It was also the worst the New Orleans pasta I've ordered from any cheddars. If you look at the sausage it is burned to a crisp lol. It tasted horrible. I'm not one to send food back I just won't return to that particular place. I still tip the waiter well because it's not like he cooked it. read more

Omg... I used to love this place... Sadly it has gone down so bad.The service and food quality are awful... Rude employees. bad food and poor service... 2nd horrible experience.... People standing around doing nothing as you wait over 30 minutes for drinks... Charged us for appetizer we didn't receive. tge oil used to fry food was very old, food tasted really bad.... Please go somewhere else if you want better service. Last time my family waited over an hour and a half because ticker was lost... Food should have been free... Very disappointed. Will not be back... read more

I ate the New Orleans pasta. I was running to the toilet most of the night and the next morning . My dad ordered the chicken fried steak and you could taste that the grease wasn't changed Was nasty read more

Unbelievably bad service and attitude of the wait staff prompted our departure 15 minutes after sitting down. Never in my life have I had a waiter rudely toss a menu onto a table. Ridiculous! read more
