    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.

    White fish lunch special

    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.

    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.

    We picked this place for two reasons: location and menu. We have a really picky friend who we were…read moremeeting. We were pleasantly surprised! We sat on the patio, which is very well situated for the heat. We caught a beautiful sunset and the temps were pleasant. We started out with the buffalo cauliflower and it was perfect. I was afraid it was going to be too spicy for me and it wasn't! Great flavor and very well done. I had the chicken fried chicken with the jalapeño gravy on the side. The chicken was pounded thin, which was surprising. It still managed to be moist and had good spices. I ended up using more of the gravy due to the good taste. It came with mashed potatoes and I subbed out for mixed veggies. The veggies were crisp and fresh; better than I expected. We had the bread pudding and carrot cake for dessert. The bread pudding had buffalo trace whiskey instead of rum sauce. Everyone at our table agreed it was one of the best we'd had. The carrot cake was good but unremarkable. There was a musician playing, which contributed to the great atmosphere. This was a hit and we'll definitely be back!

We…read moreneeded a place that could satisfy a diner with a more "meat and potatoes" kind of palate, but that wouldn't break the bank. The two of these together really limit your options, but after finding The Rackhouse on a Yelp search, it seemed to tick all of the boxes. Traditional steakhouses were just too expensive, and "New American" places just didn't have enough of the familiar home cooked fare. Anyone who's spent much time in the Dallas/Ft Worth area recently knows how stiflingly hot it's been. But amazingly, our dinner here was on the first day with measurable rainfall in, well, forever or so it felt. And with it, the temperature came down, and then the hostess asked "would you like to sit on the patio?" We opted for that, and wow, what a treat! The space is expansive, with great seating and tables, misting fans (which weren't needed on this one day!) and "shade sails" (I had to look that up) to provide stylish cover from the overhead sun, but the best part of all, was a westerly facing view that brought us an absolutely stunning sunset (see my picture). Live music was provided by a really talented crooner with a guitar, belting out his versions of some great hits with feeling, and at a volume that still allowed conversation. A truly special setting. But what of the food? Once again, The Rackhouse delivered for everyone in our party. My wife and I opted for the buffalo cauliflower appetizer, little bite sized nuggets of battered joy that still had texture and firmness, but was well cooked and tasted great with the accompanying sauce. My entree was the grilled meatloaf, served with mashed potatoes and grilled vegetables. I asked for the gravy on the side, and honestly, I preferred ketchup on the meat loaf (I am from south of the Mason Dixon line, after all), but the gravy was great with the potatoes. The meat loaf itself was well cooked yet still tender, and well seasoned. Two other diners chose the chicken fried chicken, and its presentation was a little polarizing. It's pounded VERY thin, offering a crispy bite that's easy to cut with a fork, and easy to dip into the creamy gravy. I personally loved it, but one diner was wishing for it to be a little thicker. Finally, the server was able to talk us into dessert, which for me and another of our party was the Buffalo Trace Bread Pudding, and - wow. Featuring a whisky based sauce in lieu of the usual rum based sauce, it had a fantastic, rich flavor that elevated the tender yet substantial breading - it was fantastic. If you're sweet on sweets, this one is a winner. This was truly a wonderful experience in every way, and we'll be going back when the weather gets a little cooler for more time on that knockout patio. You should try it, too!

Our serpent did an excellent job pacing the meal and making sure we had finished our appetizer before bringing our salads, and then timing our entrées perfectly.

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 seems to be every one has one thing in common, from what I'm picking up. They are all using take out service. I just don't think you can judge any place for food if you aren't eating it there. 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... Anyway, from someone who eats out a lot and cooks very well I would suggest giving them a shot if you have never been there. Just maybe don't do take out for your first visit?

I made a reservation in advance requesting a booth (since it's a tad quieter) so we could visit and have a nice long lunch having driven so far to meet up and celebrate. We were sat at a table - right next to a very large group and it was so loud we couldn't hear anything we said to each other, I asked the hostess why we were sat at a table and no effort was made to rectify the issue. My husband and I have both made reservations and table requests in the past and have never had an issue. The spot is usually held for us. And the hostess did say she saw my request on the reservation- apparently just ignored it. Then came our server. Bless her for trying but serving at a restaurant is NOT her gifting. She was very very slow to arrive (over ten minutes seated before she showed up) and she immediately got my drink order wrong, when I told her she just stared at me and grabbed my drink and came back with the correct one but a lemon and not the lime I requested. When I asked for my lime - she literally walked back with it IN THE PALM OF HER HAND!!! Three different times she removed food or drinks from our table without asking if we were done with them. She was never apologetic or kind when she made a mistake and really seemed very unaware of the "service" job altogether. My friend and I are overly nice to service people. I still tipped her very well! But the lunch was a disaster from start to finish and NOT the first time experience or birthday lunch I hoped to provide for her. We started with the goat cheese appetizer- it was good as always tho a tad too much garlic. My friend got the chicken melt after asking our server several menu questions and not getting clear answers. And I went with the turkey chili but it was too spicy for me so I took it home. The server asked if I'd like some additional chips to take home with it and never brought them. We have long loved Whiskey Cake and this wasn't a good look at all to have my friend as a returning customer. The server who brought out our appetizers was very lovely- and when she stirred the goat cheese for us and got oil everywhere, including on me, she apologized profusely. Mistakes happen- and her response to it was professional and kind. And THAT is the star I'm giving. She gets the star. The rest would be a very sad zero.
