Great experience. Staff was professional. Variety of menu very nice. Server was A+. Steak cooked to perfection. I was taking a shot at the ribs. Wow ribs were fall off the bone good. I'll go back again. I never waited on refills for my iced tea and water. Gave us extra napkins. It was just a great dining experience. It's so sad other close by restaurants can't deliver the service. read more

Food was good. Service was good. How management chose to deal with a broken municipal water pipe was very disappointing. I get that a broken water line and the boil water alert that goes along with it is outside the scope of what management can control. Being forced to eat off of paper plates with cheap plastic utensils certainly took away from the night out. Being charged $2.50 for 16 ounce bottles of Aquafina was insulting. Tapwater and fountain soda could not be served due to the boil water alert. That left the option of bottled water or alcoholic beverages, which was not an option for the kids. If the restaurant chose to offer the cheap bottled water at cost, I would not find fault but to mark up the bottled water so steeply is nothing more than exploiting a bad situation. It was disclosed to us by the hostess that due to a boil water alert, purchasing bottled water for $2.50 was the only option. With the family having looked to this Friday night dinner, I was not going to disappoint them over the issue. Nonetheless management should've handled this by not taking advantage of the situation and marking up the water they bought in bulk, likely down the road at Sam's Club read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - This is what a $2.50 bottle of water looks like at Cheddars. Tap water unavailable so cheap bottled water at a hell of a mark up - Comfort Food Near Me - West Melbourne, Florida

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - us - Comfort Food Near Me - West Melbourne, Florida

My waitress Bridgett seemed rushed and frustrated. She never came to check on my table unless I called for her. I requested one refill drink from her but had to call her attention from a distance since she wouldn't come to my table. She seemed to have more patience for her other tables. I couldn't even finish my meal since I was so disappointed with my service. When I asked for my check I had to get her attention as she was speeding passed our booth. When she handed me the check, she didn't even come completely to the table, she reached over from behind the table to place it. The food was okay, I always order the grilled white fish, but today it was over cooked and the Mac & cheese was also too soft. This was my first bad experience at this Cheddar's location. read more

Speed of service is awful all thanks to the kitchen. The chicken I had was undercooked and sent back TWICE. A friends steak was cooked wrong but didn't bother sending back after seeing my problem. Bartenders are awful and inconsistent with their pours. They also aren't trained on anything outside of their menu so don't ask for anything as simple as an old fashioned. Hosts are generally rude whenever I've been in there and would much rather talk to each other than to look up and talk to be polite and welcoming. The only servers I've had that were great have been Alyssa and Ashley. Everyone else for the most part have been okay at best. The last straw for me was seeing a manager named Kayla BELITTLE an employee like she wasn't even a human. The management there has been nothing but a joke for the period I've been eating there. They've changed GM's and had quite a few managers come and go in the last couple of months and it's no surprise why. read more

Food here is good. I gave it four stars cause the service is always great. Food wise its not mind blowing but its always good if that makes sense. Price range is excellent for the experience you get from cheddars. Check it out read more

Went to Cheddars on 192, Melbourne yesterday and was NOT impressed... Asked the server what the "white" fish was and she didn't know - ordered it blackened, it was okay, too much spice for this thin filet that I'm pretty sure was swai. The broccoli in the broccoli casserole was RAW. And the fried chicken overcooked and super chewy, actually made my companion sick to his stomach later in the day........We would have sent the chicken back but the server never returned until she dropped the check off. If you want good chicken go across the street to Popeyes! read more

Just a quick dinner with n the bar, but when some other restaurants are closed due to a Boil Water Alert, Cheddar's is open and serving yummy food in generous portions. Though strange to ear off paper plates using plastic utensils, I'm glad to know they take the boil water precautions seriously. read more

Food was mediocre as usual but I'm extremely disappointed with their lack of concern for our environment and the creatures that live in it ... there is a boil water restriction in place which is quite important.. so we agree and have no problem paying for bottled water and eating with plastic utensils etc ... but then they serve the water with styrofoam cups and leftovers sent home in styrofoam... we are in a coastal town so I'm very disheartened to see they have not changed their practices to recyclable or biodegradable products. I will hope for changes in the near future and will call before coming again to see if their practices have changed. Styrofoam is banned in many states and countries and Florida's coasts businesses should be a leading example for others to follow ... hopefully change will ensue!! read more

Matt was great! I'm in the industry from out of town and he took great care of us was attentive, had a good conversation, and hardworking. Never saw him stop moving. Great time here! read more

Food was amazing! My first visit here. However, the service sucked, at less than 50% full and we stood 15 minutes to be seated and not one person, employee or customer walked by us, as we were about to leave, a member of management finally sat us , unfortunately his attitude made this the first and last time I dine here! read more

This place is great! Highly recommend the chicken fried chicken and the sangria!! We came here after a long ride and sat at the bar Tia and Megan are great!!!

Terrible service. Sat waiting for 10 minutes before a greeting . The waiter didn't clear the table after drinks were served. Order an onion ring appetizer. Had to remind the waiter, he blamed the kitchen meanwhile patrons who are seated next to us received theirs. Ordered the salmon salad no dressing delivered. Was told by the waiter that I didn't request any. Food was marginal at best. Never going back. read more

Since this restaurant was close to our hotel, we decided to try it. We'd never been to a Cheddar's before, but we enjoyed this one very much! The food is made from scratch each day (which explains the "Scratch Kitchen" part of the name), and it was very delicious! We were pleasantly surprised when the server brought out the delicious honey-butter croissants (a tradition at Cheddars). There seemed to not be enough servers, but ours was very experienced and competent. The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because when we looked at the bill as we were about to pay in the gadget on the table, we noticed it was the wrong bill!! (Glad I double-checked!) The server explained that sometimes when they are cleaning the tables they accidentally put the wrong one back. Hopefully they will pay more attention to details such as that in the future. read more

Cheddars is the best restaurant ever service is always wonderful the food is awesome actually it's out of this world thats how good it is to me anyway. I pretty much had everything on the menu. It's all so good you can't go wrong with cheddar's I even bought the whole fudge sundae cake one time that cake is awesome ate it all within 6 days and my friends that work there are the best. read more

I gotta say here's the thing about Chedder's I love; diverse menu, extremely decent prices, and pretty good food. Service is okay, and sometimes I feel like the food can be a little inconsistent, for the most part good. I usually order the chicken fried steak, I really enjoy this especially when the chicken is nice and juicy (sometimes it can be a little dry, hence the inconsistencies). Oh, and their green beans are honestly so good, I would probably order a whole plate of their green beans if I could. Chain wise, not a bad place, good prices! read more

Usually pretty busy because a little cheaper then other restaurants. Foods & service is pretty good. Decor is nice too. Great for if your money's tight. Close to the mall. read more

Never disappoints food is constantly goo, this is our go to spot when guest are visiting

We come here at least once a month. I usually order the Key West Chicken and shrimp and today's visit I ordered the usual with salad and broccoli and cheese casserole plus Passion Punch. Ordered this combination a few times but this time was different in that I had terrible stomach cramps and two hours later the worst diarrhea ever!! I hope it doesn't get worse and that others don't suffer the same. It HAD to be the food as I never get sick like this. Terribly disappointed. My husband has had the steak three times in a row and the last two times it was overcooked. They took it off the bill last time and recooked it this visit. My shrimp were WAY overcooked too. During our visit a few weeks ago the service was so slow due to the kitchen having issues because it was not crowded at all. This place has changed for the worse over the last few months. Hope they get their act together because we liked going there. read more

So with this restaurant being so new, there are obviously going to be some kinks that have to be worked out but overall my experience there was pretty good as the food was great but the service wasn't at the standard it should be. I went last night with 3 friends and were surprised to find that our wait was only 10 minutes (we thought it'd be longer) so that was a bonus. The waitress was very polite and friendly, maybe a little to perky but not bad. We placed a drink order and while we were waiting for the drinks, she brought us waters which was nice. It took about 15 minutes for our drinks to arrive as the bar was pretty backed up she said. We ordered the chips and spinach dip for an appetizer when we ordered our drinks and I would say it took roughly about 15 minutes to get that as well. The chips went fast so we asked for more and that took an extra 10 minutes to get, by this time the dip was cold. The main issue I have with the evening was how long it took to get our food, it took over an hour just to get our main courses!!! When we finally did get the main course we were missing an order of croissants so she went back to get them but by the time they got to the table, we were done eating (about 30 minutes later). She did apologize for the wait but I really feel she could have probably done a bit more by maybe comping our appetizer or giving a free beverage or something but her comment was, "I like you guys but not enough to lose my job by giving you free stuff". What kind of a comment is that?? The manager did come over to offer her apology for the wait and gave us the croissants for free ($2.49 on $70 bill) but was not very authentic as far as her overall apology for the wait. My buddy jokingly asked for a free margarita as we had already had one and her comment was, "Sorry that's illegal".....I'm not sure how that is illegal but in any case, probably was not the best thing to say. The icing on the cake was when the waitress came back and asked if we wanted dessert and looked straight at me and said, "You look like you eat a lot of dessert".....now I'm not a sensitive guy but if I was, I could have been very offended thinking she was calling me fat....not an appropriate comment to say to any customer ever! Overall I was impressed with the decor and the food but I really think the staff needs a bit more training. What I would have done if I were the manager was to apologize and offer to comp a portion of the ticket which would allow us to spend more money on drinks....this would have been very smart as we would have absolutely done it and they would have made more money on drinks! Bottomline, in the opening week, it is key to make your customer happy and the 4 of us walked away with a not so good opinion. read more

Cheddars cooks everything from scratch and all prices are reasonable!!! 3:30 on a Friday Afternoon Zach gave superb service! I asked for the manager when leaving and complimented him. He was awesome! I couldn't figure out what to have- so Zach suggested the potato soup which he was on point with! YUMMO!! Still couldn't figure out what to order- so tried the vege plate for $7.29 with choice of 4 entrees. Carb heaven- Mac and cheese *** Broccoli cheese casserole *** broccoli *** RED Beans and rice!! ***** AMAZING the red beans and rice has the perfect amount of spice with yummy sausage in it. It also comes with one honey butter croissant, which I asked Zach to please package up for me to take to my Mommy in the hospital which he kindly did with a bonus one. I had an Arnold Palmer which Zach refilled several times without request oh and a yummy garden salad. Total damage to my pocket was around $15 for all of that and change- but Zach was so awesome he got tipped very generously! I will be stopping there again soon. Would love to see more of Cheddar's! read more

So I have been there twice now and will not be back. I will start with the good, just because the list is so small. The croissants, which cost extra, are excellent. Flaky and just a little sweet, they are seriously some of the best I have ever had. The sides are also excellent. I also enjoyed the drinks I had from the bar. The bad. The serving sizes are small. The food is not great. I have sampled 4 dished now and didn't really care for any of them. The steak was so over seasoned I would have sent it back if it had been mine. The chicken and waffles was ok, but you don't get any sides with that one, which is a shame as the sides are by far the best part of the meal. The other two were ok at best. Fries are extra if you order a burger, a crime in my opinion. The prices are ok but do no think you will get a lot of food for the price. The service was fine and the décor is nice, though a little odd to me. Also they keep it COLD. Bring a jacket even in summer! Better yet, just skip going to begin with. read more

Being that they were new to town and VERY packed, I waited a couple of months to pay a visit to Cheddar's. My party of four got there around 10:00p.m. on a Friday night- plenty of time to enjoy a meal considering they close at midnight. We were greeted and seated promptly in our choice of dining area. Our server, Samantha, introduced herself and promptly brought our drinks and took our orders. Everything was good so far. Unfortunately, this is the point our experience started to slip. We ordered a round of their buttered croissants- They were delicious, but I would have really prefered to eat mine over a plate. Samantha'd brought them to the table and promised she'd be right back with plates and another hot tea for my friend . . . Instead, she seated two other tables and though we tried to get her attention, she disregarded our attempts. Stuff like this happens-- everyone gets distracted... No big deal. Our meals arrive, and she had no clue where to place them. Again, no biggie. The portions were ample for the price, and the food wasn't winning awards, but it certainly was no worse than other chains. I'd decided to treat myself to a steak- cooked Medium. The first one arrived well-done and old. I could tell that it'd been sitting under a heat lamp. It tasted like a grease-covered football. I requested to send it back, and our server did so promptly and apologetically. A few minutes later, my completely raw steak was served. At this point, I knew they were just trying to close the kitchen. I requested a manager. As I waited, I heard Samantha tell another table. "I'm so, so sorry. They're trying to close the kitchen and are making mistakes." Suspicion confirmed. It took many minutes for one to appear, and I was frustrated when the manager who came to my table was the same gentleman I'd watched horsing around with an employee at the entrance of the kitchen. He knew there was a customer complaint, but seemed far more interested in goofing around and laughing with another individual... I expressed frustration with the food, didn't bother addressing his lackluster attitude, nor did I mention the scatterbrained moments from our server. In my discussion with the manager, I mentioned that they were probably trying to close the kitchen early. He became assertive in his posture and with his voice-- Stating they were DEFINITELY NOT attempting to close the kitchen early and that "my grill is still on." He followed up that he could "grill me another steak right now," citing his five years of experience at a steakhouse. Five years of experience at a steakhouse, and you'd serve that terrible of a steak? Twice? Then you'd horse around with a buddy rather than address a customer complaint? To their credit, they did take the "steak" off my bill. I would have rather been able to enjoy a good meal with my friends in a casual, but professional place. Perhaps it was just my bad luck, but I'm not a fan of relying on "luck," when it comes to my dining experiences. I just want good food and good service. read more

The service was great and atmosphere is very relaxed.  Food tasted fresh and came out quickly,  but all we could order were appetizers,  which are not the healthiest options.  There is only one vegetarian option on the menu,  which offers a house salad or soup, then 3 sides.  BUT the only soup options (chicken tortilla and baked potato) both have meat! I asked our waitress  "so there are no soups with no meat?" & she confirmed that's fact.  "So why offer soup on the vegetarian dish?" Her reply, "you can get salad" which is absolutely true, but why is salad always the only vegetarian choice? I wish I could give meat eaters a better review read more

Went for family birthday. Early evening the place was swamped. Had to wait outside for 40min. Once seated, AC vent dripped water on us and they were unable to get us another table. Then service was slow, very overwhelmed. Drinks were always empty and food came out in sets of 3. Last meal delivered 10min after first. A couple orders were short and took long time to get items. That bieng said..THE FOOD WAS REALLY,REALLY GOOD. All entres were huge portions at good price! We all loved every item! I hope they get their service, timing and AC fixed because the food is TERRIFIC! read more

I gave this place two chances, a few years apart with hopes that it improved and I decided that I will never, ever come here again. My first experience was a nightmare after the server took an hour to bring our food out for my mother's birthday. I asked if a piece of cake or other dessert would be possible and she said "yea, but we have to charge for that"....umm I didn't ask about the price because I am capable of paying for it. Whatever. The waitress brought some cake with whipped cream and a cherry but the cherry fell on the table and the server used her BARE HANDS to pick it up AND THEN PUT THE BLOODY CHERRY BACK ON THE CAKE. I was irate but I didn't react like my typical Caribbean self and sent it back. The second time.....lord have mercy. I didn't really have a choice in going because my fiancé's side of the family wanted to go. It was a large group of 12-15 people and my salmon order did not come out when everyone else's food came out. The server said she put it in but the kitchen did not make it....why me? At this point I'm super annoyed, hangry (hungry and angry) and pissed off because we had to wait 1 hour and 45 minutes to be seated. My food eventually came out and the lead chef came out and apologized... the waitress was very apologetic as well. The manager took the order off the bill but I was extremely hungry, annoyed and embarrassed. Definitely won't be returning to Cheddars in Melbourne. If I'm in the mood, I MIGHT check out the Atlanta location. Oh and there was no soap in the bathroom. Hygiene should not be compromised under any circumstances...busy or not, there needs to be soap in restaurants bathroom at ALL times. F- read more

This is the second time i've been to Cheddars. first time was lunch and there was a long line. since it had just recrntly opened i thought it was just crowded because it was new. Just recently went back for dinner with friends and still faced a long wait to get in. Two stars because the food was OK, and when i say ok, i mean it was dry and overcooked. And the service was really bad. Bottled Beers took longer to come to our table than mixed drinks. second and third orders took just as long, so after a while started asking for the next round immediately after the last was brought. The waitress did not know the menu, when i asked for the salad, was not delivered. when i informed the waitress, she said 'sorry' and that she thought the salad came with the meal. Already mentioned the entree itself was dry and overdone. and the wrong dessert was brought twice before she finally apologized and entered the right dessert order. And this wasn't because she singled me out. She screwed up the order of half the table. overall, I counted our waitress saying sorry five separate times; the first time I ever heard that many sorries from one waitress. Will not repeat. Stay away. You've been warned. read more

Very good. The service was excellent and the food was very good. The best, however, was the atmosphere (not that the food or service weren't good, they were great!) It has a very modern structure and the bathrooms are very clean. I very much recommend it and will definitely come again! read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Front view from parking lot. - Comfort Food Near Me - West Melbourne, Florida

Made a pit stop for gas on the drive back home from Orlando,FL and found this gem. The parking lot was full (no question, if the locals like it). The hostess was smiling and sat us right away. Our waitress Jenna was wonderful (great smile, knew the menu inside out, and made some great suggestions). This place is inexpensive and the food/drinks were great. As we were getting ready to leave the manager "Boston" John heard we were heading to Miami and gave us some complementary cookies for the road. What a great place. Keep up the great work guys :) Excellent end to a wonderful vacation. read more

We have been to Cheddar's navy times for the fantastic food and great value (the prices are low for high quality meals)! Our service was really pool. Although the waitress was nice it took us 2.5 hours from being seated to leaving due to slow service. Our appetizers came out with no plates, there was no salt/pepper on the tables, our dirty dishes were not cleared before our main course arrived, we had to ask to have our drinks refilled, and so on. When the manager stopped by to ask how our night was, we kindly reported that service had been very poor with a few examples. We did not receive as much as an "I'm sorry" she just listened said "oh" and walked away...very awkward! read more

Been here a few times while in town for business - good food with an above-average ambiance (if a little too dark) for the affordable price range. Cheddar's has always been full of patrons, a favorite for locals and travelers alike, a testament to the unique blend of quality food and affordable pricing it offers. I have had the grilled salmon as well as a grilled chicken lunch salad, and was very impressed with both. The service is always doting, friendly, and attentive to the needs of patrons. Cheddar's is always a solid option for a quick but high quality meal at a reasonable price. read more
