Gotta say that I was not expecting to like this restaurant as much as I did. Upon arrival the hostesses were less than thrilled to seat us, however that was the worst part of the experience. Our waiter was top notch. He brought out fresh croissants with marvelous butter on top. I could have ate that for my dinner to be honest. It was busy so our food took awhile(30 minutes). It was worth the wait, I got a burger, my wife got the pot pie and my son got a burger all fantastic! Oh and my daughter got the chicken tenders from the kids menu….and she doesn’t eat meat, but she did eat it!!!!! Thats a powerful statement right there to get the blessing of a non meat eating five year old, that ate the chicken at this place! I will be coming back for sure! Loved my experience! Update 08/2023…..this place still rocks!

I recommend visiting this location on a cool day. It was super hot, stuffy and musty. The entrance smelled like urine smh…idk if the AC is broken or what the deal was. Put that aside! Our server was on point. No one at our table had to ask for a refill on our drinks. He was professional, polite, friendly and very helpful. Our food was so delicious that we all shared with one another. There wasn’t one thing that we didn’t like. It was all good. Ribs and shrimp with fries! Try as an appetizers. Fall of the bone ribs, seasoned grilled shrimp. Monte Cristo ! Bacon cheese burger, steak, green beans, Broccoli casserole, creamy fish and shrimp, buttery corn. Really nice portions and very reasonable prices. Flavored tea, lemonade and alchol beverages are very refreshing.

First time here , I wanted to see what the hype was about … parking lot is crowded as there was a wait but that’s expected. The young lady at the front door lacked customer service ! From her interaction with customers and her coworkers it seemed as if she did not want to be at work her attitude just stink ! There was no organization at the front from people coming and going and waiting I literally bumped into a pregnant lady while holding my baby… our waitress was great , she had such a pleasant personality and was very helpful in picking out menu items ! The drinks were good , we only had a small issue regarding food which the manager fixed , 2 adults 2 alcohol drinks and a kids meal all for under $70 including a $10 tip if I’m in the area I would possibly return and try something different

Super good service at this Cheddars. Fast hostess. Server at the bar area was on it with one refill after another without having to ask. I asked where the washroom was and they walked me to within eyesight of the doors. This chicken pot pie that included a salad was top notch. They exceeded my expectations.

This is my 3rd time at this location. This floor is NEVER clean. I had to physically restrain myself from looking down so I could enjoy my meal. If these old chain restaurants can’t keep carpet clean, they should consider getting hardwood floors. The wait staff is visibly inexperienced. If they’re learning it’s fine, but at least be upbeat. But the FLOORS!!! Ugh The food comes out quickly at least.

This restaurant was awesome! The food was delicious, especially those warm honey butter croissants brought to the table as we waited on our food. The staff was amazing, as they had to handle my 22-person party. The manager did everything he could to get us seated together in the restaurant (as reservations are not available), making for a pleasant experience. I DEFINITELY look forward to going back for the delicious, VERY affordable food, good portions sizes, & pleasant staff!!

I liked the food, service, and ambience. There was a huge party nearby and it was really loud, but the server did her best to help us and we tried to make the best of it. Less expensive than a delivery service for dinner including raspberry lemonade (drink) and tip. I admit that I liked the rotating fan and the general ceiling details. Food was surprisingly good. My husband really loved the potatoes and his salmon and my pasta dish was better than expected and well-balanced in ratio.

There is nothing “scratch” about this restaurant. My salad looked like a bag salad you’d get from a grocery store. I couldn’t finish my food because it was so unappetizing. My kids ordered burgers and they hardly touched them because they didn’t taste good. My husband and I were super disappointed with our experience and will definitely not be returning again.
