Food is fantastic. You get large portions and it is priced very well. I enjoy the country fried chicken with the mashed potatoes and green beans. Service has been good both times I have been here. Great for families or hang out at the bar and watch sports. read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Dining room - American Near Me - Terre Haute, Indiana

One of my favorite chain restaurants in town. The food tastes great and it's so reasonably priced. Service is hit or miss (depending on how busy they are). Today we had a good server who helped us and gave me plenty of lemons when I asked! If they bring you the wrong side, they are so good at bringing you the correct one. Almost all of the seating is booth, which I love! Also enjoy the fish tank and atmosphere, it's warm and inviting. I've never gotten anything I haven't liked. Good deals on seafood and fish. I like how their mashed potatoes have the skin in it as well. Will always recommend for a casual dining place with good food. read more

Went here on a Monday night with a few friends. Despite the parking lot being full, we were seating within a few minutes. The decor and atmosphere are very relaxing. The rock the stone and mood lighting like nobody else. The service and food were carried out without a hitch. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I ordered the Key West Chicken and Shrimp with broccoli and mashed potatoes. It was what I like to call "stupid good." Man, was it good! This was my second time here within a few weeks. Roomy, great food, awesome ambience. Overall, a really cool place! read more

I was in town because my dad was dying. I left his bedside to pick up food from Chedder's with my children, sister and aunt. We were in desperate need of some kindness. We decided to eat the food in the car because we had to go back and needed a break. The gentleman who brought out our food had no clue the kind of day we were having. When he came back to our car to give us back our card he must have noticed we were eating in our car because he asked if we needed anything. He brought us drinks and fresh croissants and some much needed kindness. Thank you to the manager with no name tag that we could see. Your kindness lifted some heavy hearts and made fans of Chedders. read more

As long as Carlos is working here I won't be back. This was my first time there and the family ordered something that they saw online looking at the menu on the way there. I'd understand if it wasn't available at that location but that wasn't the case at all. He apparently told the manager that he refused to make the dinner unless we got it to go. What is the difference exactly? Our waitress was great and she had to play messenger, which I honestly felt bad for her having to do, but he ruined the entire dining experience. Needless to say we still got our food. Luckily the food was good and the rolls are amazing. Never again though, my goodness. read more

Poor customer service! We had a large group but informed the hostess that we were willing to split up. As we waited, we watched large groups leave and watched other families that arrived after us be seated. We checked back in twice to inquire and were told that they were only going to seat us together so we'd have to wait until the other families at the tables they had designated as ours to leave. The hostesses were not friendly, would not agree to sit us in smaller groups. They wanted to put our large group with only one wait staff which after our hour long wait would have made service slow as well. Word to the wise, if you have a large group - don't sign in as one unless you don't mind waiting a ridiculous amount of time and being treated rudely by the hostess. read more

In a single word: AMAZING! My husband and I were seated immediately by a very friendly hostess. The atmosphere was also notable immediately after walking through the door, very warm with a nice holiday feel; and the facility was super clean to boot. We placed our order and received it in under ten minutes despite the lunch rush. The food was impeccable, hearty, rich, and very fresh. I honestly have nothing poor to say about my experience at Cheddar's and I eagerly await my next visit. What a treat! read more

Friendly staff, clean and the food was excellent. Stopped for lunch and enjoyed my lunch visit.

Stopped in for dinner(our first time dining here) and was very impressed. It was very clean and nicely decorated and the staff was very friendly and fast at service. The food was amazing for the price. I had the 12oz ribeye with fries and Mac and cheese and a drink for around $18. Would recommend over the other basic chains such as Texas Roadhouse etc. read more

We visited on Black Friday and expected a long wait, but were seated right away and got our food within 10-15mins - probably the fated service I've ever had at a steakhouse type restaurant. We ordered the onion ring appetizer that came with an entire mound of huge rings for only $4.99. My partner and I both ordered steak dinners that were amazing. Our bill only came to $40. The server was well mannered and very chatty. We will definitely be back to try more things from the extensive menu! read more

The chicken used to be good but now they have a different machine to "grill" the chicken that just does not do the meat justice. All it does is make the cooks life easier (all for that) but at the end of the day, when my chicken is coming out to me rubbery and tough, the new method just is not working. I know I'm not the only one as well because I told my server and she said that people keep saying the same thing but one of the managers really just doesn't believe the customers so I really don't see anything changing and he wasn't in when I was there so I could tell him he's wrong to his face. I guess don't order grilled chicken when you go to Cheddar's anymore. Everything else here is good. read more

Disappointed tonight- sat outside to have drinks and appetizers. The wait staff was finishing with a table of customers and saw us but did not acknowledge us. Several minutes later another couple sat down. Within a few minutes they were serviced. The lack of inattention frustrates me- so we walked out. read more

I would give less than 1 star if possible. I have picked up orders for business lunches here several times and every single time it's messed up and this time they never even made the order! It was called in at 11 and when I came to get it at 11:45, I waited 15 mins to find out they never made it. I am now late again to a business meeting. Get your act together! Hire competent people! Have your managers help! read more

Yep. It's a corporate "chain" restaurant, but I did enjoy my dinner here. I had just finished a long day at work, so I was tired and a bit "hangry." I sat at the bar, and was greeted right away. The bartender (I'm sorry, I forgot her name) was friendly and patient with me as I reviewed the menu. I ordered chips & queso dip as an appetizer, and I had to wait a few minutes for it, but she explained that they were making a new batch. It was worth the few extra minutes, no problem. I ordered the Buffalo Chicken wrap, and it was exactly as expected. Very good. The portion size was much larger than I expected, so now I have some good leftovers. I won't hesitate to visit again. read more

I visit this restaurant every time I am in the area which is often. I order the same meal each time because it has always been great food. This past week I stopped in for lunch and ordered the "usual", but to my surprise Cheddar's had changed the fries and the cole slaw. Both were disgusting . The chicken was good but I suspect the sides have changed for a cheaper supplier. Ironically the price had not changed for the lack of quality. Management or corporate need to leave quality alone. The race for more money in the restaurant business will eventually lead to failure. Yelpsters please let me know if they fix it as I will not be back until they do. I noticed the new MacCalisters down the street. Might have to be the new spot. read more

This is an amazing restaurant. Their food is very good. Their food and drinks are reasonably priced. The people here are very nice and caring. A good time to come here is Saturday at 7:30 . read more

Food was OK, just like any other Cheddar's. The fries and bacon on my burger were over cooked. Additionally, the restaurant and bathrooms were DIRTY. read more

Don't come here!!!! So started with getting one of our apps before we got any drinks. Then the second app was ordered twice and finally showed up and I am sure our food was done before the app but they held it back and my ribs were dried out. Then we wanted the chelate cake but they were out. Ok it happened, ordered the cookie and ice cream... well it took another 15 min to get it and guess what, I am sure you are sprained, but yes the ice cream was melted.... and she served it that way.... not at all impressed, won't be back, stay away!!! read more

Stopped in for an early dinner with my husband. No waiting, we were seated right away. Everything was great! We ordered the stacked onion rings for an appetizer and got the ribeyes! They were both cooked to perfection! Tender and juicy. I ordered a side ceasar salad. Our server was good, got everything out timely, got what we ordered and refilled our drinks! Good food every time! read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - American Near Me - Terre Haute, Indiana

I was at Cheddar's twice over the past two weeks at the request of my relatives who still live in Terre Haute mostly because it's relatively cheap and the servings are plentiful. On my first visit, the appetizer, then my salad, then our entrees pretty much all came out within a 4-minute time span. The server didn't exactly hover, but we felt rushed to order and he was very quick-paced (dropping check without seeing if we wanted dessert or anything else). I know for next time that I need to speak up and say that we plan to dine slowly and take our time. The second visit was better paced, but the server was the epitome of ANNOYING. She made so much random conversation about NOTHING that it was just irksome. Why would she think any of us cared what diet and nutrition tips she gave an overweight colleague of hers? I found it very discomforting that she would come to our table and talk about other staff members being overweight. If she just would have not talked, the service would have been awesome - she was knowledgeable about the menu, made great suggestions, brought extra sauces without us asking, and automatically brought to-go drinks at the end of our meal. I guess you can't have it all... Overall, not horrible experiences, but I won't be in any huge rush to go back next time I'm visiting Terre Haute. read more

Decided to try something new. Went to Cheddar's for lunch. Place was not very busy, but yet had to wait almost an hour for our food. The pinion rings were Devine, the food was very good... but don't be in a hurry! read more

I don't really know what was more entertaining - the overblown decor and size of the place, or the comedy of errors that the servers made. My friend walks with a cane due to a hip injury, and we requested a table or booth near the entrance, and offered to wait. First time visit, keep in mind. We were then led, after about 10 minutes (OK, it was busy) all the way to the "back 40", to the point that we had no idea where we'd even come in! Of course, the restroom was on the OTHER end of the place, too, and quite a hike. Never mind the tight aisles, the crowd, and dodging servers. Then I couldn't find my way back to the table. The floor plan is really strange. It took a bit to get drinks and menus, but that was understandable. It was packed. Someone had mopped and left the floor wet, which is dangerous for someone with a bad hip, after all. The diner two tables back from us wasn't so lucky - he went sliding by, doing some kind of "dance," panicked screaming, before he crashed into the back door and stopped. I asked if this was the "floor show." The staff didn't find it funny. Then two other employees who were cleaning tables dropped a ketchup bottle, glass, which exploded and showered everyone in the section. She just laughed, and said it was the third or fourth one she'd busted that day. Then they left without cleaning it up! Our food arrived at an OK time, and the ketchup mess was not cleaned up. Another party came in, and complained about broken glass on the floor, on the seats, and ketchup splatters. Our first drink refill nearly ended up in my lap, and I politely requested that she not come back, thank you. The table behind us, with some small children, was still waiting, and then got the wrong food orders. The food was overpriced, salty, and overall, inedible. Fries were undercooked, and I don't even know what the other side was supposed to be. The soup was more like kindergarten art class paste. Then, on the way out, my friend was literally grabbed and hugged by an employee, who was quite taken with her blouse and wanted to know all about it. Never mind the fact that she was nearly knocked over, bad hip to boot. Never going back. read more

Food is good. The waiter we had was super nice and chatty. It was better then I excepted. Maybe a step above Bob Evans or like Applebee's

In light of the other reviews, I do find it necessary to note that at the time I am writing this, this Cheddar's location has been open for literally 2 weeks. There is a mish-mash of new, local workers and the more seasoned corporate team. It will be a totally different place in 2 months' time. Terre Haute continues to be chain food hell, but it's nice to occasionally get a new option, at least. We had no issues with our visit. We have been to other locations and the experience was essentially the same (although our servers were over-the-top fantastic in Clearwater). There was about a 10 minute wait to get a table, which was accurately quoted to us. Our orders were taken quickly. I ordered chicken tortilla soup and a pasta dish and my boyfriend had a burger. The soup came quickly and while I love chicken tortilla soup, this rendition is not my favorite - too chunky, with very little chicken. I've had the pasta before at other locations and it was consistent. The burger and fries were fine as well. Portions are huge, as usual, and everything was timely. The only downsides we experienced were all owed to the newness of the place. SUPER crowded, both with patrons and workers, which made it very loud inside and also difficult to navigate. The walkways seem very narrow what with all the traffic. But I do expect in 2 months' time this location will be consistent with the rest, and we will surely be back when the crowd dies down. read more

Love this place ! Definitely the Best service in Terre Haute, I highly recommend the and ribs . Great place to bring your family for any special occasion. read more

Cheddar's is a big box restaurant that doesn't necessarily feel like one. I can't say it's any better or worse than an Applebee's or TGI Fridays, but it is different in its own special way. Like most of its suburbia peers it offers a wide variety of Americana in regards to food and beverages. If there is a particular food that you like that isn't considered in the "ethnic food" category, odds are that Cheddar's will have it and they came serve it the way you like. I myself like their Chicken Finger/Strips. I just like the type and amount of breeding. I'm also a huge fan of their steamed veggies as they don't over cook them like so many others do. I'm giving Cheddar's 3 stars because it is good food, but it isn't anything special. We go to Cheddar's when everyone wants food, but no one knows what they want. I do like them better than the other chain restaurants that I named before, but I cannot honestly say that I've ever woken up and really wanted Cheddar's. Please don't view this as a bad review, because it totally isn't meant to be one. Cheddar's is a good place to eat, and I do always have a pleasant experience. It's a clean and inviting place with good food. If you've never tired it I think you should. read more

Cheddar's is great for any meal of the day. They offer a wide variety on their menu and it's not very costly. Sit in the bar for the best service/experience. I love the bar because I find their big fish tank peaceful! read more

I'm not sure how Cheddar's gets away with slow service where the servers are inattentive and constantly apologize about things. Just try your best to do things right the first time... From the moment we sat down to our meal on a Monday evening (party of 4), service moved at a snail's pace. This is the only restaurant where I've seen multiple servers running around, no one server waits on the tables surrounding yours, and yet it really seems like there's only one server waiting on the entire room of customers because YOUR server disappears between the time they take your order and bring your check. The food itself is nothing spectacular, but anything fried is hard to complain about. That must be why people keep coming back. Their fried food is hard to not like. It just would be nice to have an enjoyable experience for the money you're spending. read more

We arrived to friendly smiley hostesses who seated us immediately. We then sat at our table for 10 minutes while our server Kristen decided that it would better serve her to sit and talk to the table of guys next to us instead of greeting us. So, we requested to have a different server and Hope turned it all around for us! She had a great attitude and served us properly! Thank you Hope for being so great! Sorry to Kristen for missing out on a 100% tip. read more

Good food. Nice selection. Wife had salmon. I had meatloaf. Both excellent. Sugar glazed croissant roll with Caesar salad was amazing.

Great front-of-house staff. Kitchen still has some kinks to work out as new restaurant. Took 20 min for soup, and it only beat main course by 1 minute. Overcooked burger. But again, new place and busy... so some glitches expected. Clean restaurant; nice atmosphere for casual dining. read more

Been here several times and would suggest they hire a competent kitchen manager, twice the philly steak bread was so tough I couldn't chew it, we sat for 5-10 min before a waiter came by and after we ordered it took about 25 min to be served overall a beautiful restaurant but the food is poor and the coffee is even worse , tastes like instant. Be happy to speak with you please post a contact email or text, thanks Steve read more

Really good food and extremely good prices, nice atmosphere!

Cheddar's rocks. The food is great and the service is too. I really like the chicken fried steak. They hand bread their food, which is hard to find. The painkiller is a really tasty drink. The service was quick. Very nice atmosphere. read more

Cheddar's is one of those chains in the vein of Applebees and TGI Friday's, and as one would expect, it doesn't raise the bar. If you've eaten anything at the aforementioned restaurants, you know what to expect. Mediocre food that compensates by being served in mammoth portions. Needless to say, I was utterly unimpressed and was left feeling entirely apathetic. read more

We stopped in for a quick food stop on the way home from a road trip, the food isn't amazing, but the service was amazing. Justin was our server and he was awesome, I work in service industry in Chicago so I can tell when a server knows what they are doing and Justin is fantastic. Drinks refills were given before our drinks were empty, he read back our orders to make sure they were right, and always checked to make sure we were okay. I really hope he saw the additional tip on the table. If you go to this location I suggest requesting him! read more

Really good: cheese bites appetizer. Good: Chicken tender basket buffalo style, chips-n-salsa, tortilla soup, blackened salmon, fish tacos, black beans, raspberry lemonade, strawberry lemonade, and service. Meh: Broccoli cheese side, French fries. Room for improvement: Kiddie cheeseburger--comes frozen I'm pretty sure and quickly turned into a hockey puck; and their mango lemonade, which tasted too strong and kinda like a chemical. read more
