    Santa Fe Spinach Dip
    Ediri N.

    Came to Cheddars in Sugar Land looking for an inexpensive late Friday night dinner. This Cheddars looks fairly new and in a nice area. The inside was pretty typical of what I've come to expect of most Cheddars, with a bar area, fish tank, and dinning area. For those unfamiliar, it is definitely a more casual restaurant so don't expect white table cloths and candle lit dinners. However, it is nice and adequately clean enough to enjoy lunch or dinner. We got there around 9pm and it was still pretty busy with multiple big parties, however, we were seated without a wait. While we did have a waiter, our table also had a tablet where you can order items of their menu to add to your tab as well. We only used the tablet to checkout however, which was convenient to do at our own leisure. The food came out pretty quickly which was nice. We started with their famous Honey Butter Croissants and their Sante Fe Spinach Dip. Both were 10/10 and a must anytime I go to Cheddars. I didn't get any alcohol this time, though I know they tend to have good cocktails. I opted for a Strawberry Lemonade which was sweet, but good. I also liked that it gets free refills. For my entree I had the New Orleans Pasta and it was pretty good, though I may have had slightly better ones in the past. Of note, the pasta also came with the choice of garlic bread or Texas toast; I chose garlic bread, but it came out after my pasta. I will say all in all the pasta was a decent portion size and I had to take half of it to-go. Overall, Cheddars offers good food at an even better value. I'm pleasantly amazed that their prices haven't increased that much over the years, making it still a very affordable night out for dinner (spent less than $60 for two people). I'd definitely recommend for a casual dining experience and I would come back to this location in the future.

    We decided to come here on our way home from Houston. It's a family style restaurant. Kind of reminds me of Chili's. The service was amazing. Quick and efficient. Now let's get to the food. The honey butter croissants?! Life giving okay! I would sacrifice all my carbs on those things! One of us got the smokehouse burger. She was not a fan. Another from our party got the grilled shrimp Alfredo. She said it was a little bland but salt helped. I was able to taste the Caesar pasta salad, the flavor was fire!!! Personally, I got the fall off the plate baby back ribs with loaded mashed potatoes and a side Caesar salad. Salad was standard. Potatoes were nice and thick which is how I like them. The ribs were the star! Literally falling off the bone! No need to cut them. So good. If you haven't been, try them out.

    Love me some cheddars. Tastes the same as I remember. Fried chicken with gravy with broccoli cheddar casserole still smackssss. Butter honey croissants heavenly. And the sampler platter was so much and filled me up.

    Wisconsin Cheese Bites
    Benjamin L.

    This is my first time at Cheddar's and it was delicious. I have always heard about their croissant, but never had a chance to try it. Man did it not disappoint. It was so flakey, buttery, and the sweet drizzle completed it. We got their Wisconsin cheese bites, chicken tender and ribs, and chicken pot pie. It was so delicious. The crunch on the Wisconsin cheese bites and chicken tenders was amazing. In addition, with the ranch it paired so well. The ribs were amazing and fell right off the bone.

    Menu items, note the calories listed in each caption

    For us Cheddars is a welcome retreat into comfort food. Their spinach artichoke dip is fantastic. I have had food from several of their locations and the only times I have had bad service is when management overloads the servers and kitchen with waiting clientele. They do this during peak meal times which degrades the dining experience. If you are dieting this is not where you want to be. This restaurant is not afraid to use salt, sugar butter, flour or cheese. Entrees tend to be close or well over 1000 calories. So, those dieting beware. Combine that with an appetizer and a side your calories are gone for the day. To avoid this we often take large parts of the meal home for a second meal ( and at times a 3rd) Generally the service is by servers, not waiters, the servers are familiar with the menu and able to guide you through the selections. There is a bar which my significant other likes to take advantage of by ordering a Texas tea. She has never complained about the bar; although, I do understand it's not a full bar. She invariably gets the baby back ribs and shrimp. Her comments are that the deep fried shrimp and among the best she's ever had. The shrimp always are the first thing to go, and then will tackle the 2 or 3 of the baby back ribs; although the ribs are typically the item we take home for further meals. The ribs are first rate and would compete well with Truth BBQ or Roegals BBQ, two of well known and respected BBQs in Houston. I, on the other hand, have had most of the menu items. This is comfort food. Steaks are competitive to other places, fries are good, salads are also competitive, the forte appears to be the sandwiches, burgers and desserts. I have friends that go here just to only have the Monte Christo sandwich. However, I like the 1/2 lb cheese burgers with sautéed mushrooms. They also have bacon and smokehouse burger. No fresh jalapeños, but they have pickled ones. As a means to bring down the calorie count I usually take half the burger home and also get a side of sweet baby carrots instead of the fries. Don't get me wrong the fries and onion rings are delicious but calorically very expensive. On the menu, calories for each item are in the description which I truly enjoy. Knowing this allows you to plan and to know when to split and take home. The spinach artichoke dip is completely consumed. I often use a spoon to get to the remanets. Service for most of the Cheddars has been good to excellent with servers not waiters. If you have a question they typically have an answer for you and can guide you and make recommendations. For the best serve try to catch them early when they have just opened or late. Ambiance is a bit lacking, typically dark booths and tables that are comfortable enough with chairs. No pictures although a few of them had aquariums with colorful fish which was interesting, especially for the children. Most of them are the exactly the same inside and in the center is a raised ceiling that has a long horizontal paddle fan. The restaurants were clean, no insects flying around or on the tables. These restaurants are usually packed with substantial wait times at meal times. Again the best times to go are just after opening and close to closing when most patrons have left.

    App and the ordering thing impossible to figure out
    Don C.

    Seated quickly. Server was right there. Odd two other servers were sitting in our booth when we got there. Go sit in the back. I've been to cheddars maybe twice before. I know why. Menu is sort of limited if you are in any special diet. So for me. Low carb. Everything is breaded and fried, pasta etc. ok they have 6 steak options I had a sirloin. I could have had much better at outback Spinach and artichoke dip app was good. Drinks right out. Then sold and meals bam everything on the table at once. Not a fan and no need to rush. Steak was cooked good had good flavor a bit tough. Southern green beans were not southern. They were flat Italian green beans with no seasoning, onions bacon. They also weren't cooked all the way. That's what I was expecting. The broccoli cheese casserole was odd. Very thick and like warm. Not likely to be back.

    Buffalo Chicken Wrapper
    Requel P.

    Everyone knows, we're here for the rolls!!! We need the rolls everyday lol. Their rolls will brighten up your day. But those chicken wraps did not match those standards. They should probably do a different tortilla to wrap it in and do something different with the chicken. Only 2 halves were needed, not 4. I can do without ordering those again. The cheese curds were good though.

From the jump, the hostess greeted and seated us quickly, and our server was absolutely fantastic--attentive, friendly, and on point the entire time.

The roasted red pepper hummus with parmesan crisps surprised me in the best way--really good. The Brussels sprouts and lettuce wraps were the clear standouts, an easy 10/10 and the main reason I'll be back. Some other apps were hit-or-miss for my taste, but that happens. The vibe was relaxed and clean, with a nice buzz once the Friday after-work crowd rolled in. The manager checked on us multiple times, gifted us their house-made potato chips (Chef's Snacks--crispy and addictive), and even gave us appetizer coupons after hearing we work at a school and were scouting a spot for a happy hour social. That kind of genuine hospitality goes a long way. Solid drinks, strong food highlights, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Lazy Dog definitely earned a return visit.

    They do not serve hotdogs I repeat - they do not serve hot dogs!…read more They serve much more than that. I came here for an event and was surprised at how good and fresh the food was. The staff was so attentive and knowledgeable on all the foods. It's American food, but they do a lot of fusion, so there was something for everyone. My favorite of the night was the loco moco fried rice and the lemon cheesecake! The cheesecake was zesty and not overly sweet, which I appreciated because it let me taste all the distinct flavors going on. The curry chicken salad with chickpeas I know my husband would've loved, I ate it for him lol. I don't know what it was but the bottom of it had a dressing that made it very delectable. I was on the outside on the patio that had a large fireplace and it was so cozy, I can imagine it being very inviting during winter time. Even though I drove from Cypress to Richmond, it was worth the drive. The general manager was super friendly and I learned they have a Cypress location so you know where I'll be going!

    This was a very disappointing experience tonight, which is interesting because last time I came…read morehere it was amazing and over the top quality. First, tonight my family and I came into the restaurant and were not greeted by any hostess or employee for about 7-10 minutes. We understood though because everyone seemed to be in a rush since it was busy. We patiently waited then we were finally seated. Our server took our drink orders first as usual, got us our drinks then walked away. We waited a good while for her to come back since we were wanting to order an appetizer, and that took forever. Once we finally were able to place our appetizer order, it took another 10 minutes for it to come out. Again, we tried our best to be nice since it was busy. Now to the meals.. we put in our order for our dishes and proceeded to wait about 30-35 minutes. There is only 3 of us! Once everyone got their meals we realized it just.. wasn't the best. - My mother ordered a customized pick 3 meal, her roasted chicken sandwich didn't have any roasted chicken, she said it was all lunch meat? And her bread was as hard as a rock. The "truffle fries" that she had to pay extra for didn't have any truffle, when asked about it.. we were informed it was just truffle "oil". What. Lastly, she didn't even receive her soup. They forgot about it. We had to remind them about the forgotten soup for my mother to finally receive it. She said it was not even good. - My mediterranean chicken bowl was..okay, but I did notice that last time I was here I had a good amount of chicken. This time.. I had barely any chicken. We received 0 REFILLS on our drinks, so by the time we ordered dessert we couldn't even finish it since we were so thirsty and the chocolate was so rich. In the end, the rush died down so much where once we sat up to go we were wondering why service was still awful when no one was in the restaurant. The manager did come to apologize, both our server and manager were very nice. They decided to take off the sandwich from our bill and remake the sandwich and soup to go. Once we got home, my mother realized the soup in our to go package was actually the correct soup, and that at the restaurant she has no idea what soup they brought her. Overall, this experience tonight has been awful. We went home thirsty and hungry.
