I was greeted by a polite hostess and she seated me at a table with an outlet, at my request so I could charge my phone. After a bit my waitress came. (She seemed kinda put off). I ordered fish and chips with endless salad bar. Fish and chips: they were out of French fries. Bummer. I got mashed potatoes. Salad bar had seen better days and no cottage cheese. Bummer.

To be honest with you, it was their exterior fresh modern design, that attracted me to the store in the first place. But once inside the restaurant, it was their extraordinary customer service and quality food that won me over. A young man with a beard greeted me at the counter with a friendly smile and gave me a warm welcome. He answered all the questions that I had about the items on the menu and went ahead and took my order. I ordered the Super Sampler Platter which consisted of 3 Shrimp, Chicken, Fish, Popcorn Shrimp, and 2 Hushpuppies, with the two sides being Waffle Fries and Corn. In addition to this I also ordered a side of their famous Lobster Bites and for dessert a slice of their Triple Chocolate Cheesecake. All this came with a Softdrink and at a very reasonable prize. I paid using my credit card, was given the receipt and a paper cup for my drink, and asked to have a seat, that they would bring me my food order when ready. The interior design had a clean, welcoming, bright look, with the light coming in from the large windows resembling the high seas. It had a comfortable ambiance where to enjoy a quality meal alone or with family and friends. In no time at all, the person who had taken my order was back with it on a tray. It was all fresh, hot, and crispy, and not at all greasy. The batter was amazingly delicious and served to highlight the moist and juicy items inside such as the fish, shrimp, and chicken. The side corn was sweet and the waffle fries crunchy on the outside and soft and hot in the inside. The lobster bites were amazing, so were the popcorn shrimp. I enjoyed eating everything with ketchup and tartar sauce, accompanied with my Iced Dr Pepper softdrink. As I was eating, I could see the satisfaction in other customers' faces as they also enjoyed their meal in this welcoming new environment. The Triple Chocolate Cheesecake was amazingly delicious and the Grand Finale of the meal. After finishing, I could think of no other way to thank the employees of the place than to go up to the bell hanging from the wall and give it a ring. On the back wooden base of the bell, it read: "If we did well ... Ring that Bell." I urge those reading my review to view one of my video clips to watch this action repeated and strongly recommend you come visit here for quality food, in a relaxed environment, at reasonable prices, and with extraordinary customer service.

We've been having lots of rainy days here lately, days when I prefer to order out and eat at home…read more That was the case today. Thinking of where I might order from, I recalled the awesome food I had from Carrabba's the day I ordered from them once before and decided to once again make an order via DoorDash. Since I loved the last main course I had from them, I ordered it again. It was their New Filet & Shrimp Toscana, medium-rare. It consisted of Fettuccine pasta with spinach and mushrooms, tossed in a roasted garlic cream sauce, and topped with sliced filet and wood-grilled shrimp. This time I ordered their Lentil & Sausage soup as the side rather than the Caesar Salad I had last time. Since I was somewhat hungry, I also ordered their Tiramisu for dessert, which was lady fingers dipped in liqueur-laced espresso, layered with sweetened mascarpone, Myers's Rum and chocolate shavings. I think it was one of the most expensive orders that I have ever made from DoorDash so I was really looking forward to enjoying it. The order was placed at 5:20PM and DoorDash gave me an estimated delivery time of between 5:45PM and 6:09PM. Needless to say I was hungry and as a VIP DoorDash customer I expected the order around that time as usual. But the time went by and nothing. I started to worry that the food might arrive cold and was getting somewhat upset. I received a message from DoorDash that my DoorDasher was delivering another order before she got to me along with a later estimated time. To make the story short, the order finally arrived at 6:40PM in a paper shopping bag. And of course it arrived cold. So I was very upset with DoorDash, not with Carrabba's. Carrabba's did an excellent job packing my order and including their wonderful crusty, artisanal sourdough bread along with their signature herb and extra virgin olive oil dipping blend. So I was required to heat my food in the microwave in order to enjoy it best. I invite you to view my photographs accompanying this review to get a better sense of the high-quality of the food prepared and cooked to perfection by Carrabba's amazing chefs, cooks, and kitchen crew. Even with the unfortunate circumstances, I was able to enjoy an amazingly delicious meal. After I finished eating, I called DoorDash VIP Customer Service phone number to explain the situation I had gone through and ask them to make it right. They apologized and added to my account a $30 credit for the long wait that caused my food to get cold and for the inconvenience this had caused me. Despite the poor delivery experience, I am giving this restaurant 5 stars because the food itself was excellent and well-packaged. And I highly recommend the restaurant for their exquisite Italian cuisine.

From the moment we were seated, the service was noticeably poor and only continued to get worse as the night went on. To start, our server seemed completely disengaged. After taking our initial drink order, they disappeared for an extended period of time. When the drinks finally arrived, it was already a long wait--but what made it worse was that once they were empty, they stayed that way for well over 10 minutes. We sat there with empty glasses, trying to flag someone down, but our server was nowhere to be found. It felt like we were being completely ignored. We had also ordered soup and salad to come before our meal, which is pretty standard. However, those never showed up at all. Not late--just never. No explanation, no apology, nothing. Our entrées arrived, and we were left wondering what happened to the first part of our order. It's basic service to ensure courses come out correctly, and this was completely missed. Throughout the meal, the server would vanish for long stretches of time. Every time we needed something--refills, utensils, even just a quick check-in--it turned into a waiting game. Getting drink refills took forever, and by the time we finally got someone's attention, it felt like more of a hassle than it should ever be. A simple dining experience turned into constant frustration. Overall, the lack of attentiveness, poor timing, and complete absence of communication made this visit extremely disappointing. It honestly felt like we were an afterthought the entire time. Between the empty drinks, missing soup and salad, and the server disappearing repeatedly, this was far from an enjoyable experience. We are regulars at this restaurant and this by far is the worst experience we have ever had at any restaurant we have been to ever! I only tipped something to be gracious but in reality I should have not tipped anything. To make matters worse at the end of the meal is when the waitress showed up eyeing our table like a hawk waiting for me to sign the check. I would expect better from Carrabba's! We would have been better off going to Chic-Fil-a. I would not recommend this location if you're expecting even average service.

Our server was excellent and did well to tend to our needs but was very busy as we came at peak hours for lunch/brunch. Pancakes were great, as usual. We had to ask for extra syrup, but the food was great. The hash brown casserole was delicious as always and meats were great and cooked to perfection. My family and I really enjoy Cracker Barrel and have for years. I hope that in the future, they do not continue to try to reach broader appeal by removing some of the staples that make it what it is. If I wanted to eat at Applebee's or another franchise establishment - I go to those. When I go to Cracker Barrel, I come for what is traditionally trademark of their fare and atmosphere. Making your menu or atmosphere similar to other restaurants thins out your own unique and very appealing brand - selling out to the cheapness of other restaurant brands and takes on the problems that have kept them stymied. As a friend used to say, "You be you." People come to Cracker Barrel for what it is - but also as much so for what it ISN'T. Do not forget that.

This was our first time eating at Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen, and we stopped here while on a road…read moretrip. We had never tried this restaurant chain before, but after this visit, we would definitely eat here again. I ordered the country fried steak with mashed potatoes and gravy. The country fried steak was really good and had a nice crunchy batter on the outside while still being tender inside. There was plenty of gravy over the steak, and the mashed potatoes and gravy went perfectly with it. The portion was also huge, so you definitely aren't leaving hungry. My wife ordered the steak and shrimp with green beans. Her steak was cooked well, the shrimp had good seasoning, and she enjoyed her meal as well. One of our favorite surprises was the croissants they bring to the table. They were warm, sweet, buttery, and almost tasted like a dessert. We loved that the first ones were complimentary, and honestly, charging about a dollar each if you want more afterward isn't bad at all. They were good enough that I could see ordering extras. The service was also very good. Our food and drinks came out in a timely manner, and we never felt like we were waiting around for anything. Everything from sitting down to getting our food went smoothly. Overall, this was a great first experience with Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen. Good food, large portions, good service, and reasonable prices for what you get. Since this was just a stop during our road trip, we didn't know what to expect, but we were glad we gave it a try. We would definitely visit Cheddar's again, and when we get back home, we'll be looking to see if there's one nearby so we can try some other things on the menu.

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen is one of them. After having been selected as number 4 of Yelp's Top 50 most prolific Elites of 2025, a year when I was also awarded the Yelp Triad Squad Photographer of the Year Award at their Yelpies 2025 Award Ceremony, an event that honored the highest-performing Yelp Elites, and where last year I was awarded the Yelp Triad Squad Yelper of the Year Award, I decided that this year, as an All-Star Yelp Elite, I not only wanted to be the first to discover new restaurants and businesses, and bring them to the attention of the public, but also to uncover those found in hidden paths that for one reason or another have not reached the public in its totality. And Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen in the Valley View area of Roanoke, Virginia, is a perfect example. After receiving an email from Cheddar's corporate office wishing me a Happy Birthday and inviting me to dine at their restaurant near me and receive a Free Dessert such as their Legendary Monster Cookie, I decided to go and accept their kind offer. Once inside, their impressive giant ceiling fan coming down from the square high ceiling dome of their main dining room in the center of the restaurant seemed to set the elegant yet relaxed ambiance of this one-of-a-kind restaurant. I was greeted at the entrance by their friendly and welcoming hostess who lead me to a comfortable booth on the left side of the restaurant close to many windows that allowed in lots of wonderful light, perfect for capturing photographs of the food which I invite you to view accompanying this review. Almost immediately after I was seated, my server Tabitha approached with a plate filled with two of their famous Honey Butter Croissants that looked amazing and tasted even better. She had a wonderful personality and it was a pleasure to give her my order. To drink I had one of their Mango flavored hand-crafted Lemonade. To dine I had a hard time choosing from their extensive menu with colorful photographs of their main dishes. But I finally decided to have their Dijon Chicken and Mushrooms: Two grilled chicken breasts with honey dijon and sautéed sliced mushrooms over rice, with the two sides of a House Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing and Buttered Off-The-Cobb Corn. Not only were the portions very generous but the chicken was tender and juicy, a reflection of its high-quality and being perfectly grilled. And the sautéed mushrooms gave it such a wonderful taste that I made the commitment right then and there, to return more often to dine there. When the time came for the "Grand Finale" dessert, I chose their Legendary Monster Cookie, whom the manager himself ordered it for me while he kindly was visiting my table and receiving my wonderful feedback of my current dining experience. It was amazingly delicious! In conclusion, I highly recommend this restaurant as one of the best chain restaurants around in which I had an extraordinary dining experience.
