Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen

Hello Cheddar's. When I was passing through Texas I stopped at Cheddar's for dinner due to the concentration of cars in its parking lot. It definitely seemed like the popular local restaurant so I was content with waiting near their beautiful fish tanks for a moment. I was promptly sat and serviced by a neatly dressed waitress, I opted for the Texas Cheese Fries for an appetizer, for my entrée I ordered the Dijon Chicken and Mushrooms which sat atop a bed of rice and came accompanied by the broccoli and baby carrots that I requested. The cheese fries were hot, crispy, melted, covered in bacon goodness that stood six inches off the table. Served with a side of buttermilk ranch dressing they were an idyllic fry experience. My Dijon Chicken was tender and tangy sweet, scattered with sautéed mushrooms and resting on a bed of herbaceous rice. My side of glazed baby carrots were sweet and aldente, the steamed broccoli was piping hot, vibrant green and not at all over steamed. I wanted to save room for their legendary skillet cookie but due to the hefty Texas-sized portions at Cheddar's that was an exercise in futility. The only snag in my visit was that I was forgotten by my waitress for about a third of my meal, after I readdressed her though she saw me well attended to. Cheddar's isn't at all what I expected, I thought I was stopping at the equivalent of a Texan Applebee's but the interior was clean, the décor classy, the employees were well dressed and most importantly the food delivered big portions for a small bill. If I lived in Texas I could see myself becoming a regular customer, I'll definitely stop in the next time I swing through the Lone Star State.

I have stopped in to this location several times and have been generally impressed with the food and service quality. The menu options cover all the basic eclectic flare. On one recent visit I had a particularly good tender and tasty chicken fried steak. The next time I went it was not as good but was still above average. The wait staff are friendly and engaging, but not overly so like in the film “Office Space” where they are competing over each other’s “flare” however, it is on the border. ;-) Overall this is a good place for times when you simply want a quality meal in a nice air conditioned darkened atmosphere. One last thing, they do have the self Serve/ self pay kiosks which I am not a fan of per se. Pro-tip, just turn it around and you will not have to view all the ads and “attention getters”.

The worst ever. It took about an hour to get our food. They came the kitchen did not receive our order. They were not busy maybe the whole restaurant about a dozen tables and half of them were waiting on their food that the kitchen forgot to cook. For our compensation they gave us croissant what a joke 🤣 😂 😆 🙄. The waitress was nice and the food was ok after we finally received it. We already lost our appetite so we ate a little and took a doggy bag with us . They need to do better.

I was there with my family on a Sunday evening. There was 7 of us and we waited a few minutes. Our food was delicious. I had the lemon pepper chicken and it was awesome... Our waiter I think he's name was Mat. He was really good and kept cups filled. I been here before and it wasn't so great but this time they either got a new cook or something because everything was delicious and warm..

Loved my experience. Great customer service and food at the best price.

Awesome food, even better service and staff attention. Not to mention super friendly guys at bar serving drinks (the girl and the guy). Will definitely come back! ...sports showing at screens sums well. Great job to the owners and management team
