Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Having family fun time with my wife and kids. - Comfort Food Near Me - West Melbourne, Florida

Okay, I'm a fan! I love me some Cheddar's. I went here for the first time with my boss when we were in the area (driving to Fort Lauderdale). I had never heard of or eaten at one before, and he told me it was good. Well, let me tell you - it's REALLY good. For the price, it can't be beat. My first experience was at lunch, and I was shocked that on a Monday afternoon, they were on a 20-30 minute wait. HONESTLY. The restaurant was packed and there were people waiting for tables. Prices are low, portions are large and food is all delicious. What else can I say? Service is great - the servers really want you to enjoy yourselves. Food is delivered quickly, drinks are kept refilled. If you're in the area and want a good place to have lunch or dinner, check it out! read more

Drinks are good price for night out. Food is 'meh' not sure about all the hype! Cheddars in Tampa, Fl much better and set bar much higher. Service is good. Usually busy so be prepared to wait if you go during peak times. They messed up both our steak orders and the manager mailed some vouchers for us to try again. Mine was raw when I ordered well done and my fiancé ordered medium well and got half over cooked and half mostly fat. Next time will stick to only steak houses for steak no matter how much I crave it!! read more

*EDIT* I had to go back and edit this review, because after trying to eat at Cheddar's two more times after my initial review - at 9 and 10pm mind you - there's always a 45 minute wait. I totally stopped trying to eat here because of this problem. I once passed by Cheddar's at 10am on a weekday and the parking lot was full... WTF?! Forget trying to even go here, and do yourself a favor by saving the time trying to find parking, walking up to the hostess podium, finding out the wait is 45 minutes, walking back out to the car, then finding another place and just skip it and visit Coasters off Eau Galle or The Mansion down by the causeway. Waste of time. Food's good and cheap, nice place, but screw the wait! Not worth it! Original Review: Always a good choice for an affordable dinner. Food is above average, and the prices are hard to beat. Service is always good/great, and food comes out quick! Atmosphere is nice, very classy look/feel for a bargain restaurant. Full bar in a separate area as to not interfere with quiet seating. Only catch is there is always a line during the dinner rush. Arrive earlier or later and walk right in, no problem! read more

Their onion ring tower is phenomenal! Next time I'm definitely getting the buffalo chicken wrap, tried a piece and it was sooooo good!! I ordered their chicken pot pie, it was pretty good, not like mama's though! I'll always refer to Cheddar's when there is one nearby!! read more

They are rude about the wait. They told us 30 minutes but after an hour they are rude when we ask about the wait. Well I insisted on speaking to "the manager above you" when the little girl at the front reception desk claimed to me she was the manager, and we finally got seated in two separate booths. Then they messed up the orders... Then completely forgot my daughters order and the croissants ordered... Then I had to go to the bathroom and it stunk! And they were out of soap to wash your hands... It may sound like I'm just being a complainer but I'm not! The food was certainly very yummy. The young waitress needed more training but she was SWEET. They were more than willing to comp the food that we got late but we just wanted to eat!! It was quite the three hour experience-- granted it was a busy Saturday night and I know MOST of the staff was trying hard. read more

I come for the honey butter croissants, as they are delicious! The service is pretty good, as the wait staff do their best to make yo comfortable. The only complaint I have, is the made from scratch sides of Mac and cheese is not cheesy for a place called "Chedders", as it's a bit dry and served Luke warm. Other than that, it's a nice place to eat. read more

This was our first visit to Chedder's. Will not be our last. There was no wait time. Our server Chris was helpful, knowledgeable, and fun (yes I said fun). If you visit, ask for Chris and find out for yourself. Now as for the food. I haven't forgot. We had the onion rings. No lie, hands down the best onion rings I've eaten.... EVER! I found out that they are not brought in (frozen) but individually hand sliced and melt in your mouth rings from heaven.The ranch sauce was so good my wife wanted an IV of it. For my main I had the Monte Cristo (LOVED IT!) with a side of french fries with a dash of old bay seasoning. The woman of my life had the mouth watering, cut with a fork (probably could have used a spoon) Garlic Parmesan Sirloin Steak with garlic parmesan cheese crust over caramelized onions. We loved it and you will too. read more

Honey Butter Croissant....Need I say more? Ok ok for Yelp's sake Ill say more. Love love love love Cheddars. Consistent service in both establishments Ive patroned. (Theres one in MD that I traveled 40 minutes to go to-yea...its THAT good!) Good Prices, Lots of bang for your buck and DID I MENTION THOSE HONEY BUTTER CROISSANTS???? read more

WHAT no more chicken and waffles?! The waitress said it's because they were not made in house. The same as the shepherds pie and pot roast which are no longer offered as well. The ribs are slightly tough and lack flavor. House salad and croissants are delicious. Country fried chicken and mashed potatoes are delish as well. read more

Never tried before and will not go again. Thought that this would be a great choice to get a good cheeseburger. After ordering an appetizer for our table, the three of us intended to order the burgers and fries. We were told by the server that the restaurant ran out of burger meat the previous afternoon. Had we known this before we were seated we would have not been seated and gotten the appetizer (which by the way was the only decent item we received). After debating what to do, the three of us selected the following: potato soup (had to ask for it when other meals were delivered); chicken pot pie, which had overly large chicken chunks (with extras including chicken skin and cartilage) and a side salad which also came late; and half rack of ribs with fries and slaw (ribs were over done probably from previous night, fries were wimpy and overdone, and commercial slaw). Ate what we could then outta there! Oh....forgot....ordered a draft beer and was told by server that they did not have what I wanted even though the tap behind the bar indicated they were selling what I wanted. Need a less than 1 star for review. Management should have been better about informing customers! read more

This was our second time here, we thought we would go back on a night that was as busy, but still busy, not sure if they ever have a slow period. We had Jared as our waiter, what a great guy. I enjoyed how great of a job he did working his entire section. I ordered the ribs, he was great about making recommendations and listening to what your taste were. Not sure if he is a trainer there, but he should be. He is great with customers and others working in his area. The food was really good again. We most definately go back, and will most likely ask for Jared as our waiter. Oh and the prices are very reasonable. read more

Good for the price. You get a lot of value here. Try the nacho cheese with tortilla chips while you decide if you want to stay. The sandwiches are small, but inexpensive. The largest sandwich I found was the Monte Christo. Gators has a great one, but try this one as well. The steaks are very good as well for the price. read more

We ate here twice this past week, the second time being today for lunch. On both days, the restaurant had signs on half of the empty tables saying those tables (all located together in one closed section) were not available for use due to "social distancing." Where were the customers seated? All crowded together in the other half of the restaurant! There wasn't any "social distancing." Every single table in our section was full of people. I doubt that was the intended safety recommendation for the state of Florida, nor do I think the "social distancing" of all those empty tables was for the customers' benefit. Very disappointed and aggravated! read more

I came here with my entire family and family friends while I was in town for the holidays. I had heard good reviews about it from my parents, and they wanted me to try it out. So we decided that our party of 9 would have dinner on a Sunday night. This establishment is off New Haven a short distance from the Melbourne Mall. It is a deceptively small, quaint appearing restaurant. From the sight of the long lines of people waiting for a table, this place is pretty packed. I noticed that all of the servers were wearing uniforms; my sister reassured me that when I look at the menu, I would see that the menu items and prices coincide more with a casual burger joint than the uniforms, dim lighting, large brick interior, etc. made them appear to be. It was a fairly long wait- a little over an hour. We were eventually seated and immediately greeted by our server Lauren. When I looked at the menu, my jaws dropped at the prices. Most of the menu items were less than $10 an entree, even for dinner! They have a fairly extensive menu selection to boot. Their margaritas were $3.99. I ordered their specialty drink, the "painkiller", which only set us back $5.99. I was floored; I would expect to pay almost double that price at other establishments in my current state of Virginia. Even the gigantic onion ring appetizer that fed 9 of us at 2-3 onion rings each only costed $4.49. Again, that's like the cost of a soup appetizer....but for that many onion rings? And they were delish too. I ordered the half rack of ribs ($9.99 with 2 sides). It was decent; not the best I've ever had. I don't know if I would order this entree again. My side of roasted edamame was good too. The fries were the usual fries. I tried my brother's chicken waffle ($8.99); the waffle was a bit flour-y, but the chicken was decent. My sister had the New Orleans pasta for $9.99, and it was brought out in a hearty portion and pretty good as well. Lauren was great. She was always pleasant, did her server duties well and definitely earned her full 20% tip. Other things to note: the bathrooms were kept clean, the place is crowded so it can be hard to have a nice dinner conversation, and remember to expect a wait on all nights if you come here for dinner. At the end of it all, for 9 entrees, 1 onion ring appetizer and 8 drinks (beers, margaritas, etc.), the bill only came out to $130.83. My family and I normally try to guess the bill before we see it, and my family members overshot their guesses by about $20. It was super cheap; no wonder people (including my parents) love coming here. Definitely worth the wait. The food is pretty good, the prices are crazy better. And I was very happy with the lively ambience and great service provided too. My family and I returned here for dinner 4 nights after. Yup, check this place out. read more

First visit after wanting to stop many time. It was the holiday season and we expected a long wait but were seated immediately at the height of the dinner service. Our waitress was very nice and explained the menu to us and highlighted a few items. We tried a couple of appetizers on her recommendation and they were both very good. The cheese bites and chicken tenders were the two and they were very pleasing. The main courses were well done, seasoned properly and served promptly. No room for dessert after two apps, but maybe next time. We'll defiantly stop by again, I'm eager to try some of their sandwich lunch offereings, I'll update after that visit... read more

The portions are huge, but the food is just meh. Kind of bland, and overly salty. The service is always friendly and quick. We've had a few different servers on the occasions we've visited and they're all great. Different menu items were hit or miss. We go there because it can accommodate our large group. read more

There is almost always a wait especially at dinnertime. But we have typically waited no more than 20-25 minutes. Interior is definitely on the dark side but the actual sitting areas are fine. Service is typically very good. Food is very good. Drinks are a great deal. It's really nice because for about $50 plus tip my fiance and I can get an appetizer, couple alcoholic drinks, and dinner. Not bad. Cheddar's is a nice addition to the area. read more

They are friendly here - training a new waitress. I wanted the Buffalo chicken tender wrap but I didn't want a wrap. I wanted an actual sandwich so they made the substitution to a hoagie roll with no complaint. I wish they had more sauce and not so much cheddar on the sandwich but I guess cheddar should be expected at Cheddar's. This place is better than TGIF in my opinion but not so much better that I would frequent the chain. read more

Jarrod provided the best service I've had anywhere in a long time! We were both amazed. The food was great as well....it was just in the shadow of the greatness of the service. read more

Currently sitting here... Been sitting here... It's been 20 minutes still no soda and water. No utensils... Kind of in shock. What is going on cheddars? Update the manager sent us some gift certificates in the mail which was very nice. I am however not updating the review because I think people should know what has gone on. read more

I have loved Cheddars since I was a child but sadly it went out of business in my home town. While on vacation I saw it on Yelp and was so excited to take my family. It did not disappoint. This place is a family friendly chain. Our server was awesome and we didn't have to ask for anything he was fantastic at anticipating our needs. Burgers, chicken tenders, buffalo chicken wrap and cookie skillet were hits with my family! We will return next trip! read more

I usually really enjoy the food at Cheddar's, it's always consistent. This time around I figure I'd try something different. I ordered the hand battered fish and chips. I received fried shrimp :( no worries, it was super loud and I hadn't had tried that either, so I gave it a go! First couple shrimp, eh.. not my fav, but it's not a sea food place right? I have about four or five left.. I'm still hungry.. no, wait.. these aren't shrimp??? They're cheese curds. LOL! I got 2 shrimps and fried cheese LOL! I had a good laugh and will just stick to my fav buffalo wrappers on my next visit! read more

They say third time is a charm, but in this particular incidence, the experience left much to be desired. To mirror what others have said, the wait time is extremely long, and you cannot call and secure a reservation so either A) Come before 5pm or B) Expect to wait at least 35-40 minutes. It doesn't seem that bad, but the waiting game continues on through the meal. The onion rings (which I highly recommend) were luke warm/cold, and I was too passive aggressive to say anything because it had taken 15-20 minutes to get the appetizer, and I didn't want to eat a "re-do" with my meal. The food itself is great, but the hassle of dealing with the high amount of traffic will really test your patience. Plus, it took another 15 minutes for our waitress to pick up the payment after dropping off the check, which to me was unacceptable. I understand things get chaotic, but it would have been nice to have an exit plan, like have someone else check us out, when servers become inundated. I won't be coming back. In in the time that its been open, it doesn't seem like they can manage the volume of people who come in. read more

We ate dinner here when in Florida for a girl's weekend. Lots of variety and very reasonably priced. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. Between the three of us we had a burger, a small steak snd a chicken pot pie. We all thought our food was great. What was not great was the hostess. We were met with "how many?" When we asked how long the wait was she replied "HOW MANY?" Very unfriendly to everyone. Should not be in that position. read more

Went here and they are awful at customer service. The person doing seating was extremely snarky and would not give us any times as to wait. They just do not care about their customers. I know Covid creates challenges but we are done with snarky cheddars customer service. Avoid this olace read more

The Santa Fe spinach dip is absolutely yummy! When I go back I may just order this alone. It comes with a ton of bottomless chips and it also comes with salsa. The salsa is good but the spinach dip is the real star. Highly recommend. I also had a cheeseburger that I got with barbecue sauce and fries. The burger wasn't too bad. Not the best I've had but then again I've eaten a ton if burgers. The fries were pretty good as well. My friend and I had food service and it was our first time eating there and we were both pleased . read more

It was ok. The restaurant was very polished. In an Olive Garden sort of way. It looked like a chain. My dish was average spaghetti lasagna. Would not be a choice again. read more

Great service and the was the best! I had the bacon cheese burger and it was one of the best burgers I have had in this area. My son had chicken tenders that tasted homemade not store bought.

Outside of the wait, usually 10mins (which is well with it), this place is great! Only down side is they don't do reservations, so there tends to always be a short wait. If you don't mind waiting a few, prepare yourself for a delicious meal. The staff is couturier and knowledgeable, as well as attentive. The menu is full of plenty of things to try, so no disappointment there either. And the prices are amazing for the amount and quality of food you are getting. read more

Services is standard franchise service. Prompt and friendly. The menu may be scratch, but it's heavy and not at all inspired or inspiring. The Monte Christo was greasy and too sweet. The fish was dry and the rice was standard cheap rice. It's ok. This place isn't a place I'll go back to simply because the menu lacks ingenuity. read more

Fantastic food, and great service! Super friendly staff, the place was very clean. We've been twice in the last week.
