    menu - cocktails and other alcoholic beverages
    Reynu S.

    I went for dinner with friends last night and the service was lovely but the food was subpar. The staff, especially our waitress, were hospitable, attentive and efficient. Food came out in a reasonable amount of time but we were also busy talking comfortably, so time passed quickly. The honey butter croissants were warm, doughy, sweet little bundles of soul that whet our appetites and left us eagerly anticipating the rest of our meal. Unfortunately the subsequent food ranged from passable at best to nearly inedible. Wisconsin cheese bites - texture is perfect! The crisp is good and the cheese is not too dense (I don't think they're curds, just cheese). However, they were too salty and pushed the limit of my partner's heavy salt tolerance. Broccoli cheese casserole - boring but not inedible. I'd get corn or green beans over this. Red beans and rice - I was so excited for this but it was bland and indelibly salty. Country fried chicken - huge, amazing portion but saltiness was off the charts. I thought about removing the bread and washing my chicken in water but my appetite was lost. I spent the rest of the dinner yearning for the honey butter croissants. This location has potential - the textures ranged from reasonable to excellent and the waitstaff is lovely. If they can reduce salt and add more spices (paprika, garlic, etc. - southern spices), there is an opportunity to improve.

    Made a trip to NFM and decided to pop in for lunch. I had a fantastic and perfectly cooked Pork Chop with Mashed Potatoes and Southern Green Beans. So good! The atmosphere was warm and inviting. I don't understand the low ratings but I had a great experience.

    Really enjoyed my visit here with family! I got the potato soup with salad and my daughter got a kids chicken meal. My family all enjoyed their meals, and the yummy croissants!

    Fantastic service, but food was only average with the exception of the honey butter croissants. Went here for lunch with 3 coworkers. My salmon was dry and shrimp tiny and overcooked. Prices were decent for the area.

    I love going to Cheddars for good, home-cooked, meals. The menu has a something for everyone, kids to seniors. I always get a salad, which are huge, and sneak pieces of my husband's chicken fried steak. This last time there was a little uh-oh when the appetizer took a long time to come out, and 5 mins later our food appeared. If I'm being honest, the spinach artichoke dip was missing the artichoke part. It was seriously lacking in all parts, and if I didn't love that dip I would never try it again. This time I opted for baked potato soup, and it was also less than. Must have been the bottom of the pot. It was overly thick, and only slightly warm. Did I complain or say anything to the kid waiter, no. I didn't. Once we were served he zoomed around and there was little opportunity. I still ate it and was paying for it, so we decided it was easier to let it go. Everything else was amazing, including my mixed drink.

    Nicky G was our server. Very polite. She took our order and brought us the delicious buttered croissants. So yummy! We ordered the chicken pot pie with loaded baked potato and the lightly fried white fish with carrots and broccoli cheese casserole. We loved it all. First time trying the fish and it was great! Nicky checked on us often. She did a great job and the meal was wonderful.

    This was our first time at this new location. We used to frequent the Irving location after church for so many years. We were promptly seated and our waitress was attentive the whole time and she was busy. It looked like she was the only server on our side of the restaurant. We ordered onion rings as a starter and they were huge. I got the grilled white fish lunch special and it was a large portion. We ordered the kids food first and it came out in a reasonable amount of time. Would go back

    Cajun pasta...good but one piece of sausage. Doesn't sound Cajun to me.
    Angie H.

    The service was good, but the food was average. Chicken was dry and overcooked. The chips tasted very stale. The steak was seasoned well, but overcooked.

    On Sunday 01/12/25, Myself, my wife and our 6 years twins went there for lunch. We set, and waited for good 30 minutes. Not single waiter came to the table. I tried to stop a waiter as she was walking by our table, and before I said anything, she said "this is not my table". We got up and left. On the way out, I saw exactly 7 employees standing by the kitchen door. I told the two people at the door that no one came to our table . He just looked confused and didn't know what to say. We left!!! After we left, my wife told me I'm glad we didn't eat at this restaurant, I asked her why, she said that the restroom is gross and filthy which means the kitchen is in the same conditions. This restaurant needs to be shut down to: do heavy duty cleaning because it needs it, take care all the repairs because too many broken/damaged things, and hire new staff. We like Cheddar's, but we will NEVER go back to this restaurant.

    Great food! Loved the honey butter croissants. Service was so slow though. Manager was kind enough to help out and bring us things. We had to request croissants, water etc. it was Black Friday and the NFM shoppers all went there I am sure. Will definitely be back for the delicious food :)

    If I have a large group coming (30 or more) do we have to make a reservation? How does this work?

    Yes. When having larger parties, it’s best to make a reservation so that Cheddar’s will have seating ready and available for your party.

Our server recommended joining their app club thing so we also got a free app outta that! The restaurant is huge too, it has plenty of seating which we walked right in and were seated right away. Noise level is very low too, I liked that very much. I'm very surprised reading and seeing the photos of the folks that are giving this place bad reviews.

It's like ordering McDonalds and taking it home 15 minutes away and then blaming them for the food to be cold. Food changes after it's prepared. I'm not saying they aren't pointing out the obvious cooking flaws but geez...

One was the Fried Cauliflower and the other was the Tuscan Chicken. She was disappointed to learn they were only serving the Brunch menu and those items we not available until after 3PM. We ended up just having a couple drinks and the Cheese Curds before we left. The Curds were very good, we enjoyed them and the drinks. We thought the restaurant looked very nice, clean and had a fun vibe. I even mentioned that I thought the music was perfect as it wasn't too loud and there was not a song that was obnoxious, just a nice background sound. Service was excellent we had no wait and the server was very prompt. We decided to try another day to try the full menu. I am sure there is some reason that restaurants do brunch only menus. I assume it's because they are higher profit dishes and they can limit the offerings to those types of meals. It just sucks that both Saturday and Sundays they only offer the brunch service until 3PM! I could understand maybe noon but 3 is kinda late in my opinion. Second visit was on a Sunday at 3PM so we could get the items she was interested in trying before. We ordered the Cauliflower and it was amazing. I had a hard time wrapping my mind around that it was just cauliflower! Really good item! We then ordered a couple drinks and then decided on a couple meals that were not on minds when we got there but we were open to suggestions. She ordered a BBQ Burger and I ordered the Fried Chicken Mac and Cheese. I would say both were excellent! Food here is on point. Service was a little off, just our server, not the rest of the staff, I don't know what was going on but I think she may have had another section I couldn't see because I believe we were the only table she had in that part of the restaurant and she wasn't very attentive. I never could see her anywhere in the dining area so I am pretty sure it was something like that going on. She forgot our drinks and kinda our food too. My wife had to remind her that we ordered drinks, which she admitted she forgot. Since my wife was facing the kitchen she could see the food on the counter for the servers to grab, and she could see our appetizer sitting there as well. After about 5 minutes of it sitting another server brought it to our table, it was still very hot and still was very good. Same happened with the meal too, it sat then another server brought it to the table. I would have had a few more beers if we would have had more prompt service, but honestly it wasn't a bad experience. Another noted difference was the music, at first it was the same as before but after about 15 minutes of us being there they began to turn up the music volume and that of course increased the noise level overall as people had to speak louder to overcome the music. It also was not obnoxious just something we both made a comment about. Overall, good place to check out.
