    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.

    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.

The biscuits were very dense and almost hard to swallow. The chicken breast was dry and hard to cut through. The sauce that it came with was just OK, but nothing special. The fries seemed like they just came from the frozen aisle of a grocery store. The salads were very simple and used store-bought salad dressing, which was disappointing, especially for the ranch. I always love, salmon, but I couldn't finish this salmon because the taste was not good and it was much too fishy. I liked the crust on the outside. I also really love mac & cheese, but I also couldn't finish it because it was not good and had an off flavor. The Mississippi mud pie was the best part of the meal besides the brussels sprouts. The ambience inside feels like a hotel restaurant and the service was OK.

When I arrived, I was waiting on two family members who were about 10 minutes away, so I went ahead to put our name in. The hostess told me I could go right in, which made it seem like a table was ready, but she never took my name or wrote anything down. After I explained I was waiting for two others, she said "okay" and then started taking names and numbers from other parties, leaving me off to the side without her saying anything else. It was odd, so I sat down. After sitting for maybe 5-7 minutes, I noticed she was taking names for parties of 2 and 3, which was confusing. When I asked about it, she said she already had my party and name even though she had never taken it. At that point, it felt like the Chinese restaurant episode of Seinfeld, where somehow you're waiting but also not really on the list. She finally took my name for a party of three and quoted a 30-45 minute wait, without accounting for the time already lost. My family members arrived shortly after, and we still waited another 20 minutes or so. Once we were seated, the service didn't improve much. Our server was extremely slow, and everything came out at once. We barely had time to get drinks, salads, or biscuits before the food arrived. Refills and additional requests felt more burdensome than attentive. While the food and drinks themselves were great, the overall service felt very disorganized and subpar.
