We had dinner there my son and I shared a melt. It was delicious! The Moons Over My Hammy, to be exact! The following evening we traveled home and my husband said he wanted to catch the game with friends. I stayed home and didn't really feel like cooking. While scrolling door dash I saw "The Melt Down" by Dennys. The menu only listed Melts. So I ordered a 3 melts. 1 for myself and 2 kids meal melts. My boys shared one and my daughter had her own. The melts are a nice size! Very filling and also tasty! They came hot and juicy! I highly recommend the Feeling Groovy Melt, so tasty! We had enough to save some for a snack the next day. Popped them in the oven and they were still on point! Great service, fast delivery on door dash's part. The you to the Denny for ensuring our order was correct! This location is always on point. Even when we dine in. Very laid back ambience / vibe.

Appeared accessible to get in with wheelchair use but may have some challenges navigating inside as it's set up like a house inside and there are plenty of tables packed in. I called to see if we could add our name to the waitlist, but they were only taking walk ins. Once we arrived, we added our name and waited about 5-10 minutes before we were seated. The menu is quite simple, but includes breakfast, lunch, appetizers, sweet and savory crepes. I ordered the chicken breast with potatoes and scrambled eggs. It also came with a biscuit. The portion size was good and I was super excited about the food because it was home cooked. As a person with special dietary needs this was the perfect place to come and enjoy a home cooked breakfast that wasn't full of salt. The eggs were real eggs and scrambled perfectly, the potatoes appeared fresh cut (did not come salted, I added my own), chicken breast cutlet with a crispy breading and a gravy or sauce on top. My food was served HOT!!!! Each table also had sea salt/pepper grinders. I ordered a Sunrise mocktail which was also very good. I enjoyed my meal and left stuffed! Looking forward to coming back again.

Here's what I didn't like about Number one see my picture, they served me the platter with a hair on it. I don't send food back but honestly that's not a very good first impression. Tells me a lot about the cleanliness of the place and their attention to detail Number two I really like pork sausage links which they don't have they have patties but not links. They do have salmon cakes which are very pricey and from the way the waitress described don't seem to be quite filling so I didn't order them. It would have been nice to see that on the menu as a side option but I didn't ask the waitress about it Number three. They charge an extra fee if you use a credit card. Plenty of off-street parking. It's in a nice location. Honestly I found this a little bit disappointing because I usually like supporting local restaurants as opposed to chains. I think I would have gotten a better meal had I gone to cracker barrel Price is okay give him the quality and quantity of food Overall I'm not too impressed with this place

Today I finally visited and was a bit disappointed to see the underwhelming interior where it is strictly carry out and cheap metal guest chairs to wait on while the food is prepared. But it's really about the food right?! Meh. It was very hit and miss. I ordered the (4) sliders with grilled onions. They were slightly charred which was nice, and they were juicy, but they could have been cooked a little more (they were like medium to medium well and I prefer well done - I should note they didn't ask how I preferred my burgers cooked). I also ordered their jumbo fried wings and picked sweet and sassy sauce. The sauce was tasty and the wings had a nice texture, but beyond the sauce the wings had a plain flavor suggesting they didn't season the wings before frying and then coating them with sauce. Overall the food was solid but not awe inspiring. I was less impressed with their cakes. I ordered a strawberry slice and a carrot cake. The carrot cake was moist and wasn't bad at all. I've had much better, but it was edible and satisfied my sweet tooth for the day. The strawberry cake however was dry and grainy. Perhaps it was old. It was definitely a waste of $7.99! On the plus side the employee was friendly and nice, so there's that!

A nice thing about this place is it the chain and you always know what you can get. Plenty of parking cool Adirondack chairs and always a good place to hang, I get LL Bean vibes from this place. Service was on point no issues I did not use the bathroom. If I was looking for a standard breakfast I would have no problem coming here again.

It's the kind of spot that makes you imagine Sunday mornings with your person, the two of you settling into a table sharing life, and growing old together without even noticing time passing. I probably won't make that long drive from the city again, but the good memories tied to this place are ones I'll always keep close. I never had any real issues here, aside from one cold cup of coffee and even that feels small now. The wait staff was always warm and friendly, the kind of people who make a place feel familiar. And that little store inside? Still one of my favorite parts. All the cozy, quirky things you don't need but somehow want anyway. That's the charm. Parking is plentiful, and if you go, take that left when you exit. Trust me, it will make life easy. And well, life should be an easy and pleasant journey as possible. Let's get into it!

We were the 1st customers in the dining area, 2 others at the bar so service was very prompt. We had a nice window view and, of course, the joint was still very quiet.

(Causing the star drop) The meatball was a great flavor. It came with a beautiful red sauce and bread on the side (would've liked for it to have been warm and toasted, with garlic butter). I think it may have been slightly colder than it was hot, but the flavor was still wonderful. Salad was fresh, crunchy and a hefty dinner portion. Perfectly layered, very well done salad. Filling and satisfying

My daughter and I went on a Friday evening, and even when they're busy, the atmosphere is always calm and relaxing. The waiters and waitresses are consistently polite, attentive, and make sure we have everything we need. This time, I ordered the steak and shrimp with broccoli, and I had my grilled bourbon shrimp placed over the rice. My steak was cooked exactly how I like it (medium well) and the broccoli was cooked perfectly. The bourbon shrimp had so much flavor and paired really well with the rice. My daughter ordered the half rack of ribs with corn and French fries. When I tell you the ribs here are fall-off-the-bone good, I mean it! They're tender, flavorful, and never disappoint. I didn't order a drink this time, but I've had their drinks before and they are definitely good and for the price, they will have you feeling real nice lol. Overall, Cheddar's will always be a 10/10 for me. Good food, good portions, good service, and reasonable prices. I'll definitely keep coming back!

For our meals, we had the country-fried chicken, which had the BEST gravy, along with the ribs and shrimp. Everything was absolutely mouthwatering. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender with a great BBQ sauce, and the shrimp was amazing. We would absolutely come back and would definitely ask for Erica again.

There was a mix of late-night guests and people coming in after the clubs, so the atmosphere was pretty entertaining. Some of the club-goers were clearly feeling their night out and definitely in need of a good meal. The service was just okay. Our server had a very matter-of-fact demeanor. I wouldn't necessarily say he was rude, but he definitely wasn't friendly or welcoming either. Service was also pretty slow, and our food took quite a while to come out. After sitting for a bit, we realized it wasn't just our table--everyone seemed to be waiting a long time for their food. We could even hear some of the staff discussing and getting a little frustrated with how slowly things were coming out of the kitchen. Thankfully, once our food finally arrived, it was good! We ate, enjoyed our meal, and headed out. Overall, not a bad late-night stop. The food was good, but the service and kitchen speed could definitely use some improvement.

We were left sitting unattended until a different waiter completed our order and bought us our food. We didn't get any drink refills the entire time. The food was cold and flavorless.
