I love Cheddars! Their menu has a very wide variety of options. From pasta dishes, to soul food, to wraps and sandwiches. And an amazing light menu for those trying to cut calories. But those who aren't, they have the best spinach dip I have ever had. I usually get their steak philly sandwich, a must buy. So yummy. The service is always very well timed and the staff is friendly. Definitely a place to try. And the prices are incredibly reasonable. read more

Dang good middle of the road menu. I don't have anything bad to say about this place. We were greeted by a friendly and courteous staff. We had a bit of a wait, about 20 minutes but nothing major. We had the chicken strips with shrimp and the fish tacos. The tacos were tasty and more than enough to fill up 2 people. The only suggestion is to put a bit more sauce on them. The sauce was good there was just not a lot of it. The chicken tenders were really juicy and tender with a flaky coating. Everything was good and I would recommend it to anyone for a good comfort food sort of day. I would like to give it 3 1/2 stars but Yelp doesn't have half stars yet. C'mon Yelp let's get on that. read more

Not so good. Ordered the chicken fried steak and was very disappointed. The breading was so thick I had to pee it off. Luckily this is not the only Cheddar's I've ever visited or it might've been the last. read more

After hearing all the hype about Cheddar's (and the fact that it's jam-packed with people every time I drove by), I figured it was time I checked it out. It seemed immensely popular, and now I know why. Cheddars has REALLY good food; the group I went with all loved their dishes. Service was fast and friendly, too, and the atmosphere is nice & cozy. Just be sure to get there early on a weekend night, because they don't take reservations (and wait times can be over two hours!). read more

Best restaurant we ate at during our road trip. Which is both good and bad news, lol. The food was good. Nothing special, but good. And, boy was that place busy. The parking lot was full at 7:35pm but we went in and asked how long the wait would be, 5 minutes they said. So we went and parked our car at the edge of the Golden Corral parking lot and the little reservation buzzer went off in our hands before we made it to the door. They sat us at a booth, which was a little awkward because there were 5 of us. Ended up setting a chair at the end of the booth. We ordered the veggie platter, chicken pot pie, some kind of chicken sandwich with fries, and crispy chicken salad. NOT a fan of the chicken pot pie by the way, but whatever. The salad was good, but nothing special. It seemed to be composed of only lettuce and chicken... And there wasn't enough dressing. OH, and there was a horrible, completely rotten tomato in it. :( I'm not blaming them for that because it looked completely fine on the outside, but THAT was disgusting! Blech... To end the meal, we ordered two cookies... Not sure what they were called on the menu, but it was a big cookie in a skillet with ice cream on top. That seems to be trending nowadays... It was good, but it would have been better if the entire cookie was crispy before they put the ice cream on top. The middle of the cookie was gooey and unrecognizable under the ice cream. And none of the other desserts appealed to me, so that was a bit of a let down. read more

I've never had such good chicken fried steak! The staff was courteous and mindful and dealt well with it being so busy, making sure each table was okay while the kitchen caught up. I wish we had one of these back home! read more

Excellent service and the food was AMAZING. They give HUGE food portions so you'll definitely need a to go box! I LOVE that they have yellow queso! I hate white queso and that's all most restaurants serve so I was delighted when our waitress said they serve yellow queso, woohoo!! read more

Even though it was so busy I almost couldn't find a parking spot, I barely had to wait at all. The waitress was super nice, the food was delivered quickly, and everything was delicious read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Chicken tenders, so big I had to take half of it home with me - American Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

I've been to Springfield many times but first time to Chedders - it was really good. One of the best places to eat in the city. We both got the meatloaf lunch special on a bed of garlic mashed potatoes. Seriously good comfort food. Filling and satisfying. The service was outstanding. Had a very good waiter. If I could find an area to criticize was to be seated in the bar area rather than the main dining area. As a customer I take it personally. I didn't go to sit in the bar. I could have requested to be moved but we were in a hurry. A small criticism, but getting seated in the bar area of restaurants is not good service unless they ask us. But they didn't. Bars have a different feel and culture. If I want to spend time in a bar I go for that purpose. When I dine for food I expect the employees understand that as part of the experience is to sit with like minded customers who too came to be waited in the dining area. read more

I'll keep it simple. 1. The food is good. 2. The service is good. 3. I'll eat here again. 4. Great prices! read more

Love this place. It's one of my absolute favorite places to eat! The food is here at and the prices are not too bad either. We eat here a lot! Most of our experiences have been good. There have been a few bad experience but after talking to the manager or the GM it was made right. If you want good home style food that's not a buffet then CHEDDARS is the place to go. It's a good place for the whole family. It has an adult feel, but it's still suitable for children as well. Now I think I need to go eat.... read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Cool fan - American Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

Service was great , pasta was ok a little dry , the breadsticks was a little hard I was a little disappointed:/

The server hardly stopped at our table and forgot to bring my friend his hot sauce. The chicken fried steak is like 80% breading. The food also wasn't warm when it came out. read more

Everything I expect when I go out, and then some. It was a busy Sunday, and when I arrived I needed something immediate to eat since my blood sugar was not doing well. I received service quickly, and had to ask for a rush on my app (since I didn't have time to look at the menu yet since that was not my priority yet. The spinach dip came quickly out since I informed the bartender what was wrong. I appreciate that greatly. Then after going over the menu I asked for a recommendation between the different types of fish. The bourbon glazed salmon was delicious! Probably couldn't have chosen a better dish. Hit that sweet and savory point I was looking for. The baby carrots were perfect cooked. Use to them coming out soggy and over cooked. Which that did not happen. My baked potato, was a touch on the warm side, but extremely happy it was not microwaved to make it hot! Like what many other places do. Probably was just because it was pulled from the oven first as my dish was being plated. I will definitely go back the next time I am in town! I've not had service and quality like that in a very long time. Jordan did a great job! Next time I will have to try the chocolate cake since that is what was recommended to me from the person that told me to go there for. I just already had enough left over for lunch the next day from having to order an app. read more

Use to be my one of my favorite places. It's slipped last couple of years. Still great value and service is good but I don't think the food is the same quality it was. Still will keep giving it a shot occasionally but no longer the every couple of week place like it use to be. read more

A typical Cheddar's although it seems that without fail, every time I go they run out of those delicious croissants. Wish they would catch a hint and make more read more

Meh!! they should change the the name as nothing here is from scratch There is a certain texture we all know from frozen and canned vegi's. You can tell the relationship with Applebee's same quality of food and drinks. read more

Great food at a reasonable prices. One of my favorites in Springfield. They have the best chicken strip. I always enjoy the good friendly staff. read more

This is by far the best place to eat in springfield. The bacon cheese burger was great. read more

The food was average. The service good. I was a little disappointed in the experience overall. Was much better in the past

I regularly eat at Better Cheddars when I travel for work. Very tasty and you can get a nutritious meal if you pick carefully. So no complaints about the food. But I need to post about the weirdest experience I recently had there. The waitress sat down at my table to take my order. Didn't ask. Just pulled out a chair, plunked down and asked me what I wanted. I'm not a snob but I don't think that is appropriate behavior for a server. I'm not her friend--I am her customer. Odd. read more

All I have to say is...DAMN! The good kind of "damn." It's hard to find good catfish around here, but their catfish is good (and plentiful...I had to get a box). The potatoes are great, I don't normally like white gravy but theirs is really good and the potatoes have skins in them, which is how I like mine. AND THE CROISSANTS can you believe these croissants?! Because I can't. I need these croissants in my life. It was my first time going here, and I think I'll be back later. Edit (4/5/2018): They don't serve catfish anymore! :( No longer my favorite restaurant. Still deserves 5 stars, but I'm sad. Bring back catfish! read more

I love Cheddars the food is always amazing and the prices are even better. Never a disappointment I found about this place in Arizona and became a fan the first time having it. read more

Took my Mom here for an early Mother's Day lunch and it was pretty good. My Mom likes a certain level of doneness in her steak that is often not executed very well, but her steak was juicy and full of flavor. My chicken tenders were crispy on the outside and extremely juicy on the inside. Service was good. I will definitely return. read more

Let me tell y'all something. I have eaten at many cheddars locations, all a solid 4 stars. But when it comes to Mac and cheese THIS Cheddar's MURDERED it. FANTASTIC. Thank you for coming to my ted talk. read more

Everything ive ever tried on the menu is AWESOME! The best batter ever on the chicken fingers! read more

Hours are wrong on Yelp for Sunday. Manager just happened to be outside firing an employee and he told us they closed at 10pm (it was 9:55 btw). read more

Came in At 930 tonight. It was nice, wasn't crazy loud and crowded. I enjoyed their new broccoli cheddar soup. The bartender that took care of me was great! read more

Recently started ordering off of their drink menu and their margaritas are amazing. The appetizers are always delicious and we'll proportioned for what you pay. The menu is great with a wide range of options that are fairly priced. I've never tried anything that wasn't good. The chicken tenders are for sure the best I've ever had anywhere and a must try if you haven't. Service here is always good I've never had a bad or rude server. Maybe an awkward newbie every once in a while but still always great service with a smile. read more

This place never fails to impress. Cheap, tasty food (my favorite is the Veggie Plate, it's a steal for all that you get). Ridiculously large margaritas. Win win! Service has ranged from unknowledgable/confused to exceptionally friendly and helpful. read more

All I can say is... There isn't anything on the menu that I haven't liked. My favorite items are the Chicken fried Chicken and the soft butter croissants. Join their Eclub for special offers and coupons. This location is over 45 minutes away from where I currently live and I have driven out there just to enjoy a tasty meal. read more

Every time I go to Cheddars I always get the buffalo chicken wrap. Its so good and I can never finish the whole thing so I have a second meal for then next day. read more

Rarely will I feel the need to give a chain restaurant 5 stars. Cheddar's has very reasonable pricing and they are always consistent. There aren't many chains that are. In Springfield, this place is always busy and it is hard to get it sometimes. The best time to go is between typical mean times if you want to beat the crowds. The staff are typically college kids who always provide perfectly adequate service. I've gone there for years and there has never been a time when I haven't walked out completely satisfied. read more

Environment was friendly, enjoyed the food and the service. Server was prompt and nice. Would visit again with no questions.

Went on Valentine's Day with my wife, kids, and a couple of friends from out of town. Expected to wait due to the size of our party and the holiday. I was right. Got seated in a good location and really enjoyed the meal and the atmosphere. I went with my stand by: chicken tenders with honey mustard, mashed potatoes and white gravy, and broccoli and cheese casserole. Good place! read more

Food amazing. However the manager on duty was a rude jerk. Don't think you will be set with or even close to your group. They seat you across from each other or back to back in booths. How in the world do you enjoy company with your friends when your backis to them. Not going back. The nine of us went to another place instead. Problem was the man was just rude. read more

Cheddars is our go-to place. It's consistently good and the prices are extremely reasonable. I think a lot of people come for the chicken strips, which are delicious, but if i had to recommend one thing it would be the homemade chicken pot pie. I swear it's like a hidden gem on the menu! It's a large, homemade pie with super soft, flaky crust and filled with lots of GOOD, fresh chicken and veggies and always served hot; right out of the oven. Total comfort food. I literally crave the pot pie. If you can, try to avoid sitting toward the front in the winter months because it can get really cold. There is usually a short wait and it can get pretty crowded and loud in there. The staff are usually prompt and friendly. I feel like there's something for everyone here. read more

We always loved to eat here before but it has changed and not for the better. The chicken strips were fantastic but now they are smaller with a different coating, not good. The fried shrimp are the same way and again not good! They need to go back to their previous food that we all loved! read more

Cheddar's is generally a solid choice for its type of restaurant. The price is reasonable, the service spot on, the food great. I can't count the times I've ordered the Monte Cristo. It's so good you'll want to slap your mother. read more

This review is based solely on the waitstaff' inability to deal with a food allergy. We were in this afternoon for an early lunch with friends. Two of the members of our group have Celiac gluten fee menus were requested and provided. When we ordered our meal we plainly and clearly stated we have Celiac and that all aspects of our meal have to be gluten free. To our shock when our salads arrived each one had a great big croissant placed on the salad. When we asked the server why there was bread in our food she liked at us like we were imbeciles and stated "it comes with the salad". Cross contamination aside this server actually got upset with us. We've been to Cheddars in the past without incident today's issue was something I'm not willing to go through again read more
