    Steak, shrimp and broccoli and rice casserole.
    Jason K.

    Waitress is friendliesh but when I ordered my steak without their overbearing house seasoning due to a digestive disorder that is a medical disability she refused to season it instead with salt and pepper and stated more than once that the kitchen does not have sale or pepper and that if I don't want the house seasoning (that gives me GI distress and illness that they won't season it at all and that I have salt and pepper at the table and reiterated that there is no salt or pepper in the kitchen. Ambience is ok minus the fact they are upset that I have a medical condition that would lead to hospitalization of they used the seasoning they wanted. Would not recommend if you have dietary restrictions and don't want to be hospitalized and still want basic seasoning. A chain restaurant should be aware of the ADA and Dietary restrictions. This has never happened when Charles is here.

    The bourban glazed sauce for salmon
    Tia T.

    Our waitress was very nice and was prompt. There was no wait and the food didn't take long at all. Parking is great. I really love the bourban glaze sauce that comes with multiple dishes here. I like the bourbon glazed salmon entree. It is seriously delicious. Nothing to note about the ambiance. Its clean and no issues with the seating options.

    Cheddars Scratch kitchen is a great go to restaurant. Everyone can find something on their menu. I love their early check in app, the hot buttered croissants and their amazing service. The atmosphere is casual, and they usually draw quite a crowd on the weekends. You'll have good luck if you arrive before 1:00pm on Sundays. Some come out and enjoy the fixings at Cheddars Scratch Kitchen Michael C. - Georgetown, Tx.

    Coconut shrimp and chicken tenders!

    It's a great place. I would love to say more but it is what it is.... A wonderful place to have a decent dinner.

    The most disgusting fish I've ever tasted
    LaRon E.

    straight to the point, the food that I ordered was lousy, I ordered the white grilled fish. It was the most horrendous fish that I've ever eaten in my life. It was so bad I told the waitress that I did not want it. I didn't have enough time to order anything else I said don't charge me for the fish. I eat the red beans and rice and the broccoli and drink my tea.. The fish had no flavor at all. I only have one small bite of it, and I sent it back my friend who I was with, even said that the fish looked plain and nasty. , The waitress was super friendly super nice. The service was great, but the food was terrible and that's the reason for my two star rating.. just look at the picture and you will be able to tell that fish doesn't even look right

    Raspberry lemonade and butter bread
    Anastasia S.

    So getting someone to take the order or even say hi to us party of 2 over , 7 min before female walked back to the bar area and ask for the drinks order, had gotten a frozen margarita with stopped off and she forgot the topping and had to send it back and a one raspberry lemonade, we had our food order taken after the drinks she was nice . , took 15 min before she asked if wanted a order of butter bread , . The bar area was sticky to put the arms down on I didn't like that .the gravy was on top of the potatoes mashed potatoes, I ordered it gravy on the side , lady brought out the baked potato but not the side of broccoli, had to go back and fix that , took over 10 min on the phone clock to get a check out ticket and a to go cup and 2 to go boxes, go the ticket and then she didn't even say anything and left and I was paying with the phone and I was waiting for her to get back and it took another 10 min before got it back and the ticket to sing bc she said the manager had to look at my card and then she was helping other people and I had to wait 20 min before I got it all back and I couldn't leave and she had to get my card again for the second time she said bc her computer timed out she said , I don't understand why took so slow of service today and I needed my card my phone back . Just made me nervous thinking she changed 2 times . And then she walked off after that so I did the ticket and left . She didn't even say thanks for coming in or if we had good dinner or even check on the meal . Bc I had to keep fixing it bc she kept forgetting things . She had a attitude and I don't understand why bc I was nice . She kept talking about her tattoos and she should have been more paying attention to the fact she didn't get the food or drinks order right . And we the people at the bar all waited around multiple people needed help I just couldn't believe it .

    Grilled salmon with broccoli cheese casserole and mashed potatoes with gravy
    Briana N.

    I'm surprised more people aren't talking about the complimentary honey butter croissants! So soft, so warm, so buttery, and slightly sweet. These are so amazing! The Wisconsin cheese bites are also a favorite appetizer of mine. Hot breaded cheese that you get to dip into ranch, you really can't go wrong. And all of the entrees were not only delicious, but had decently big servings! The chicken pot pie had a super flaky and buttery crust. And the filling was more liquid than I expected but I liked that more. Because it tasted more like a soup rather than just eating cream. The country fried steak was also delicious (and huge). The breading was so crispy even despite the gravy. And it wasn't too thick or heavy. The only thing I thought was kind of weird was that they put white gravy on the mashed potatoes. I feel like that usually just goes on biscuits and then you use brown gravy for mashed potatoes. But it wasn't gross or anything.

    Fried (flat!) Chicken
    Heather B.

    My friend and I received average service, but it may have been because we were there on what appeared to be a major family night out. We were simply small fish. The fried chicken was a pressed, white piece of chicken. It was FLAT.   It didn't say it was boneless fried chicken, so this was unsettling. The fried shrimp, however, had hood seasoning. But they were also heavily battered. We won't be back.

    Honey Butter Croissants
    Marisa P.

    Imagine this: You walk into this specific Cheddars location. You're skeptical. A chain restaurant in North Austin?? You give it a shot anyways. You hadn't joined the waitlist. But you're immediately seated at a booth. A waiter walks up. The man's name? Charles. You get the sweetest stickiest honey butter croissants on the house as an app. You try the Santa Fe dip-- it's good. You get the Wisconsin cheese bites-- they're better. To drink? It's the painkiller, obviously! Or maybe switch it up, go with a margarita. Your entree is a country fried chicken or steak with two sides. Enough to feed two if you're already feeling stuffed. Or eat one now, make a bomb leftover fried chicken or steak sandwich later. You pay, you leave with a box in hand, a little tipsy, a full stomach. Life is good.

    THIS SH** LITERALLLY WHIPPED UP SOUL!!!!…read more Hands down, this is the best Soul Food in Austin, TX. My girlfriend and I have been here 4 times in counting. Every time we come, we have been satisfied. This is a black-owned restaurant and babiiesss, this is one for the books. The best times to come are early before 5. SUNDAYS ARE SUPER BUSY, (line out the door busy), so beware of that. Let's start with the service, the owner is HIM. Every time we've come, he's greeting everyone that comes in with a calm, cool, welcoming, and assured demeanor about himself while taking orders. When he has the chance, he comes by the tables and checks in with everyone, making sure everyone is satisfied and the place is up to his standards. This man is the definition of #HANDSON! It's needed. He doesn't know it, but we really value him. The Ambiance is usually way more busier, energetic like. However, today we came closer to opening @ 11:15am and was able to enjoy sitting down without the rush. It's always great music playing, so you know I'm jamming :P The cooks keep hair nets on their heads and gloves on. It's somewhat an open window kitchen so that's cool too. There's usually a cleaning lady going around making sure the place stays clean and tables rotating. The prices aren't bad. They did just increase since the last we been here, but they're still affordable. Now for the food WITH SOULLLL... Since we've been here so many times, I'll give you the MUST TRYs! These are delicious, delightful and your tastebuds will love you for it. Plus the portions are generous and never lack in flavor. #ComfortingFood 1. Oxtail Eggrolls $14 2. Cheezy Mac (regular) $6 3. Sweet Glazed Yams (regular) $6 4. Mean Greens (regular) $6 5. Pistachio Brownie (when available) 6. Sweet Tea $3.75 7. Fried Cabbage (Weekend Side Special) My rating... this place is definitive of SOUL. It's consistent, clean, and carries the vibes! One thing about it, whether you're vegetarian or loving the meat, you'll find something to love that will lighten your soul. It's been hard to find QUALITY food here in Austin, but we found it in 'WHIP MY SOUL'. So GO, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! You won't be disappointed.

More than ten minutes later, when he checked again, the assistant manager was openly rude and dismissive. He told the driver he could not make the kitchen move any faster and then said, "Why don't you leave and come back then if you're in such a hurry." That interaction was bad enough that we canceled our food order, paid for our drinks, and left. When asked why, I explained exactly what we had witnessed.
