    We visited on 1/21/26. Although the temperature outside was frightful, our service and food was…read moreDEFINITELY delightful! Our party of four was seated promptly in a comfortable booth. 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.

    I went here for Father's Day after hearing how good their breakfast was. Their house salad was…read morehuge, but it was just a basic salad. I had the pot roast. It seemed to be placed under a heat lamp until the meat was dried out, than slathed with brown gravy just before serving. I received one carrot, a piece of potato and mashed potatoes drowned in brown gravy. Edible,but not worth what we were charged. For me, the highlight was going to be Apple Cobbler a la Mode. The presentation was spectacular,but the menu clearly stated that this was baked in their kitchen. I took one spoonful and it was still partially frozen. I sent it back, and was told it would be put back in the oven, but it was back in two minutes, and the plate was piping hot. I asked if went back into the oven, and was told it was put into a microwave oven. It was at best luke warm, so I ate the ice cream and left the entire cobbler, less two small spoonfuls, on the table. I was offered a to go box, which I refused. I was there with my sons, who didn't want me to make a scene. Had I been there by myself, I would have had a long, difficult conversation with the manager. I may go back for breakfast (which is served all day), but not for lunch or dinner. I would have gotten the same level of food if I bought a Healthy Choice frozen dinner.

    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.
