I had never heard of Cheddar's until a couple of years ago when some Texas friends mentioned it. The time had finally come for us to go. First of all, I don't understand the negative reviews. You know what this place and others like it are before walking in. I digress... You start with a complimentary basket of croissants drenched in butter. Holy bread are they good! Totally addictive. I had the pot pie and it came with a side salad. The pot pie was really good and the crust tasted like the croissants...woah! The salad was crisp and fresh and very typical of what you get at such chains. My boyfriend got the Monte Cristo sandwich with fries. I hadn't heard of a Cristo since the 80s! Had a couple of bites and it was really good. He totally loved it. Our server was attentive without being overbearing. Tablets mounted to tables for self-pay. We had an enjoyable visit & good food.

First of all, it's very kid-friendly! Almost every family that walked in had small children. They have high chairs, crayons/coloring pages, and a kids menu. The kids menu deserves a kudos! Usually, I expect bare minimum but they really invested effort into the food. The grilled cheese came on big fluffy buttery pieces of bread and was something I'd expect to receive from the main menu. The chicken tenders were big and juicy and delicious too. Kids devoured their grilled cheeses (to be fair, they've never met a grilled cheese they didn't like but that's what makes the restaurant's above-and-beyond effort more admirable). I enjoyed my food as well. I got the chicken-friend steak. I rarely eat fried food -- this was worth it. Delicious. Also the show-stealer was the Brussels sprouts side! Fantastic. Perfectly browned and crisped (not overdone/too blackened like many places do). Mashed potato side was tasty too. Finally, the service was excellent. Super nice and attentive staff. Parking is very easy -- free lot next door.

Rec's Hushpuppie Heaven -- A True Gem…read more Let me tell you right now--this place lives up to the name! I ordered the Catfish Basket (2 pieces) with fries, onion rings, and their famous Mac & Cheese Hushpuppies, and babyyyy... perfection. The hushpuppies were the star of the show--golden brown, crispy on the outside, and then you bite in and boom... creamy macaroni and cheese with brisket inside. Deep-fried to absolute perfection--moist, flavorful, and unforgettable. I dipped mine in the creamy jalapeño sauce, and that combination needs its own award. I'm already plotting my return to try the shrimp and jalapeño bacon version. The catfish? Listen... crispy on the outside, fluffy and tender on the inside, seasoned just right. Almost as good as mine--almost! The fries and onion rings were fried just right too--hot, fresh, and not greasy or overcooked. And let me not forget the coleslaw--a simple side done right. Cool, fresh, and the perfect balance to all that deep-fried goodness. Don't skip it. The establishment was spotless--and that matters. When you walk into a restaurant, you want to smell good cooking, not something unpleasant lingering in the air. This place was clean, welcoming, and the young men working that day greeted me as soon as I walked in the door. Excellent service from beginning to end. And here's what makes it even better--the owner gives back to the community in a big way. That alone deserves support. Reasonable prices, amazing food, clean space, and heart behind the business. Whether you're local or just passing through--do yourself a favor and stop by. I'll definitely be back.

Today I went with fried chicken wings, yams, and red beans. Another great dinner! If you're out in Manor stop by and chat with Fred Nunn. He's hilarious and a wonderful soul food chef,

I moved back to Austin and have been hoping for another convenient, healthy, and delicious lunchbox place to open. DosiROK is an Uber Eats' frequenter's DREAM. I ordered the galbi jjim today, and it was so delicious. It came beautifully packaged, and everything is made with a ton of thought. The actual galbi itself is incredibly flavorful, and the meat literally breaks apart so easily. The side dishes were all pretty good, but some of them were more on the salty side. However, I like that they rotate their side dishes out so I can try new things. The salad dressing is really yummy too, and they're so thoughtful to include chopsticks, antibacterial wipes, forks, spoons, and knives. It's definitely on the pricier side (around $25 for the galbi jjim), but for how well prepared and yummy the food is, I don't mind at all. I love that Austin is slowly building up the Asian food scene, and DosiROK is somewhere you definitely have to order from if you're a fan of Korean food. I highly recommend!

For a ghost kitchen, probably 5 stars, but I had a few minor complaints about the dishes I ordered…read more Sides: overall, I enjoyed the variety of Banchan, there was enough different flavors in there that I could mix things up a bit. I could've used a bit more rice, and there was one banchan that looked like diced shishito peppers that was definitely too spicy for me. Pork Chashu: The flavor of the chashu was good, but I found it a bit too fatty. I know chashu is supposed to be fatty but I think some of the fat could've been rendered down a bit. And the non-fatty portion wasn't tender enough for my liking. Braised Salmon: I liked the flavor overall, but it felt a little oversalted for me. Of course, braising adds a lot of flavor to any meat, but I felt like the flavor was lacking depth and just tasted salty. Still, I thought the value was great and overall packaging and quality was tops. Would definitely try again, but try some of the other dishes next time.
