This is a great place to come for some delicious homemade food! They have the best chicken fried chicken I've ever had in my life. Usually chicken fried chicken and chicken fried steak all have the exact same gravy from shamrock farms or similar source but as with everything here at Cheddar's, you can taste the homemade flavor and quality. Besides the chicken, the rest of the menu has a lot of options for people with dietary restrictions which all taste great as well. The staff is very friendly and helpful, this is the kind of place that brings you a refill before you even finish your drink, they try their best to keep you feeling seen. Definitely a nice place to bring a date or your family.

Our waitress Alexxis was amazing!! So attentive and kind. Our drinks were always refilled and she had a great attitude during our time there. My ribeye was cooked to perfection. I highly recommend that dish. Food and drinks being good are always a plus but, what brings people back time and time again is the service. And we will definitely be back!

We had a reservation for six of us. We were able to get in quicker because of this, which was great. The only reason I am giving 4 stars for service is that the front desk seemed irritated. Neither of the two working the podium would smile at all. All six of us enjoyed the food. The appetizers were great, especially the honey butter croissants. The salmon was excellent! Great place to hang out with friends.

My son and I went in for dinner tonight and had a most pleasant experience! Eleanore C was our server and she was so kind, attentive, and genuine. She greeted us quickly and checked in with us regularly. She had such a sweet demeanor and made sure we were taken care of through our stay. Dinner was fantastic. The chicken pot pie is soooo good! My son had the Shrimp Alfredo and said it was amazing. We also shared the spinach dip and he raved about it. Overall we truly enjoyed our little dinner date. Even the bill was a surprise! With all that we ordered, I was pleasantly surprised at how reasonable the total was. Thanks Cheddar's

Our server was amazing and super friendly. The food was great and it came out quickly. The butter honey croissant was delicious and the broccoli rice casserole tasted like it was right out of my Mom's kitchen.

I’ve experienced ALOT of bad customer service from waitresses over the years but Jasmine HANDS DOWN WAS THE BEST WAITRESS IVE EVER HAD!!!! Yesterday my bestie and I went in to share a meal here at Cheddars and she ended up being one the THE BEST parts of our day. Jasmine was so incredibly kind, relatable and so compassionate talking about life, dreams & passions. She got pretty slammed busy through our stay but continually checked in on us & served us anything we needed. The food recommendations were also great, I loved the Alfredo dish. I hope Jasmine gets every raise possible, every great parking spot, every perfect meal, has the most incredible graduation ceremony next month, I hope she gets to enjoy and bask in everything beautiful, travel the world and gets filthy rich in this lifetime as she falls in love & starts a family. She truly deserves it all with her heart and attitude. She seems like the truest friend & anyone that knows her is blessed. Thanks Jasmine for making my day so much better. I’m so grateful & wish more people in the world were as genuine as you. Exponential blessings. I live 4 hours away but with that kind of customer service we will definitely come back to eat someday & hope to see you!! Exponential blessings to you and your family!!!!

Cheesy Fries Heaven and So Much more: Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen is a true gem, and every visit reminds me why it's a favorite. This place delivers on every front: incredible food made from scratch, a great atmosphere, and unbeatable value. But let's be real, the true star of the show and a dish I would give six stars to if I could, are the cheesy fries. Oh my goodness, the cheesy fries. They are a work of art. Piled high with perfectly melted cheese, crispy bacon, and a ranch dressing that you just know is homemade. The fries themselves are perfectly cooked—crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. It's an appetizer that's so good, it could be the main course. I dream about these cheesy fries. Beyond the fries, the rest of the menu is equally impressive. I had the chicken pot pie, and it was rich, creamy, and loaded with tender chicken and veggies. The service was fantastic—our server was attentive, friendly, and had great recommendations. Cheddar's is proof that you can get high-quality, delicious food without breaking the bank. It's a fantastic place for a family dinner, a casual lunch, or just to get your fix of those incredible cheesy fries. I've never had a bad experience here. Absolutely deserving of a five-star rating!

I had ribs and shrimp. Grilled shrimp were a little spicy for me but delicious, ribs were fall off the bone tender with a perfect honey bbq taste. Service was what service used to be, Andrew deserved a tip above 20%.

I ordered the 8oz grilled salmon, which comes with two sides. I chose broccoli with cheese and fries. The salmon was well cooked, tender, moist, and flavorful. The broccoli with cheese was tasty, creamy, and well seasoned, and the fries were served hot. The portion size was generous and very filling.
