We were immediately greeted and we sat at the bar since nobody was there at 11:05. Our waitress was Giovanna, who was happy, energetic and engaging. I ordered the special; pork tenderloin with tater tots and my wife ordered the chicken sandwich. While we were waiting we talked with Giovanna about sparkling waters that we each liked and she went out to her car and got a La Croix Lemon Cello drink to try while we were waiting for our food. (She normally doesn't do this but it pertained to our conversation and was a gracious gesture). The food came out quickly and was presented beautifully. Both sandwiches were tender and juicy and cooked to perfection! We had no complaints, only compliments. We highly recommend this and we will be back! Thank you Giovanna for such great service and conversation.

Cheddars will always be one of my favorite restaurants…read more The food was definitely the highlight. We ordered the chicken wraps and battered fish, and both were really good. The chicken wraps were flavorful, fresh, and filling without being too heavy, and the fish was cooked just right--crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. You can tell they put effort into making things taste homemade rather than rushed. The atmosphere was comfortable and relaxed, making it a good spot to sit down and enjoy a meal without feeling hurried. Service was also solid--friendly, attentive, and everything came out in a reasonable time. Overall, this location really delivered on both quality and experience. If you're looking for a casual place with consistently good food, this Cheddar's is definitely worth a visit. I'd happily come back again.

I went to this Cheddar's for the first time ever (and my first step in a Cheddar's in probably 10…read moreyears) recently. Honestly, I did not have high expectations. My experience definitely exceeded the average Yelp rating. The food was solid and we had good service. They were extremely busy, but the bartender/server ordered a round of rolls on the house for the bar area for the long wait. It is a bit loud inside if that's not your thing, and there are TVs that were playing college basketball. I'm often in the area for KC Mavs games and would not hesitate to return.

The butter was super fluffy and light and the bread was a great crunchy texture, but other than that I feel like it lacked that extra flavor to take it up a notch. We also tried the calamari which was pretty good. For my entree I had the Romano chicken alla vodka. It was genuinely so so good! I feel like the ambiance was okay, it was packed and really loud but I figure that's just because it was a holiday. It was also weirdly dark in there which I'm not a fan of. Our waiter was nice but smelled like he just got back from smoking a cigarette every time he came to the table.

The menu is MASSIVE! I would recommend previewing it on its website rather than being overwhelmed by all of the choices. I ordered the Tri-Tip-Dip Deluxe. The ciabatta was fabulous. The beef tender. I loved the grilled onions, mushrooms and Swiss cheese option. VERY GOOD! I had delicious sweet potato fries. Awesome! Creamy inside and crispy crunch on the outside. Best sweet potato fries I've had yet in the KCMO area. My husband enjoyed Bob's Big Burger Deluxe with Blue Cheese. He shared a bite with me. The burger was JUICY and grilled to perfection. He chose French fries and scarfed 'em up. I would happily have given this place a five star review. But for some reason, 90% of the patrons were all seated in one area - OUR area. While our sweet server was running her tail off, attempting to meet all of our and others needs, three servers were chit chatting in plain sight. I blame the manager on duty for lacking organizational discipline. #btw - the sandwiches were so large, we will order just one next time and share! This first visit, we were able to enjoy our leftovers the next day for lunch.

The last time we went, I wanted a plain club soda with limes to drink and our waitress didn't know what club soda was, which is a little strange. I'm a former waitress and bartender so I know club soda is a staple in bars. There's an opportunity for training here. I told her that if she asked the bartender for club soda they'd know (they did). The ambiance is always fun and busy. I don't think we've ever been here and seen it slow, which only speaks to the great food and service. My husband and I have been coming here for years and it will continue to have our business.

I was finally acknowledged by the only waitress who seems to be actually doing her job. she stated I could sit anywhere, I proceeded to find a seat where I again waited a while for anyone to come to my table. the original girl who told me to sit anywhere came and asked me if I had been helped and I told he I had not. She went and got my drink and told me my waitress was busy and would be with me soon. my waitress was lousy was very short and quick with me as if I was less important than the only other table she was taking care of. I ordered the steak and potatoes with fries. She never came and checked with me until she brought my order where I had to proceed to tell her I needed another drink as soon as she put my plate on her table all I heard was does it look ok and she was gone again. The steak I understand is not from a steak restaurant but was bland as if the only thing done was throw it on the grill even through I'm pretty sure a garlicky butter was supposed to be on top, no flavor no offer of steak sauce and in my opinion only time you use steak sauce if the steak isn't done well and it truly wasn't. I felt like an unwanted guest. I asked her about if any seasoning was used on steak she said she didn't know and at that point I was done. I gave her cash and left. I was extremely disappointed by the atmosphere, treatment by waitress, and the lack of any customer service except by a single waitress who wasn't my waitress.
