This review is during the coronona virus pandemic. This review is also from a vegan with severe allergies to dairy. This staff was nice and attentive. The menu has changed so that is has no vegan options. Even the vegatables are brushed with butter and chicken stock. The menu has been trimmed so they can survive the pandemic and I commend them. I was onsite for work and stopped in trying to find something to eat. There wasn't any, so mycoworkers ate. The waitress appologized for my experience, which can't be helped during these times. This is the only restaurant I knew in brooksville that had vegan accomodations which are now gone. I got a jalopeno margarita while myco-workers ate that was pretty good. read more

Had a great experience. The food was delish and the service was on point! To top it off the restaurant manager stopped by to ask how service was and gave us a bag of the most delishes soft chocolate chip cookies to go. read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Fall of the bone ribs and steak! Yum! - Comfort Food Near Me - Brooksville, Florida

The service was excellent. Our waitress on it the entire time. We never had to wait for anything. Unfortunately that's where the good news ends. The kids food was served so hot it burnt my fingers when I tried to cut it up. My food was served so cold the baked potato wouldn't melt the butter. The Philly leaves A LOT to be desired. It was under seasoned and bland. The ribs were ok. The prices are in the mid to high range depending on what you order. read more

Awesome chicken pot pie and Cesar salad, super friendly staff. Highly recommend such a great place to eat!

Had ordered a bacon burger and the sliders burger and bacon crumbles. Both were delicious and the delivery came earlier than expected.

Cheddar used to be much better food quality wise. They also removed their pork chop with the mango salsa. When the cheddar in spring hill first opened up, their food was great. Thought I have finally found a decent place to dine with the family, But looks like I have to wait for another new joint! Service is slower too. Definitely their food grade has gone downhill. read more

I've eaten at serval locations and they are all close to uniform in appearance, food and service. This location is no different. We usually get the onion ring appetizer, which if your haven't tried it, you should - delicious! We get the combo dinners a lot, you can never go wrong with ribs and steak, chicken tenders and shrimp, etc. If you want consistency with good food and service, go the Cheddar's. We enjoy it every time we eat there! read more

Yummy and affordable. Very clean and great service. Comfort food at its finest! Good for families. Reserved seating Monday thru Thursday! read more

Really excellent upbeat little restaurant. With fresh food. I got the pork ribs and coconut shrimp and my aunt got a hamburger. Hamburgers cooked to order medium rare excellent. And my ribs were off the chart I'll be back read more

First of all, let me say this place is new, and they are finding their way. That said, some things need improvement, and quickly. On another note, I have eaten in several Cheddars (Darden) over the years. Our new location here in Brooksville (OK Spring Hill) is lively, upbeat, cheerful, and they honestly want to please. Mu scenario: Weekday, around 12:45.Supposed to meet friends for lunch, but since there were no seats at the bar, they went elsewhere. I decided to fly solo. Great greeters, opened the front doors for me, cheerful and welcoming. Ordered a Pinot Grigio at the bar, they asked if I wanted Kendall Jackson or the Aussie version, I felt confused, as I haven't heard of a Pinot from either vendor. Sure enough, a Chardonnay turned up. After one sip, I sent it back, and apologetically, my bubbly bartender returned with Ecco Domani. Not a fail, really. They brought me water (which in a lot of places is gross) but here it was fresh and good. Perusing the menu, I chose the lemon pepper whitefish (praying it was Swai, not Tilapia). The menu states this comes with a salad. I ordered bleu cheese on the side, and they also brought me a side of their house dressing, which was amazing too. They snuck a warm succulent croissant on my salad plate too, those jerks Diet be damned, I ate it. While waiting for my fish, I marveled at the HUGE (and artful) onion rings my fellow diners got, drooled at the HUGE "Painkiller" drinks, (Toasted coconut dipped glasses filled with dark rum, pineapple juice, coconut cream, topped with a pineapple wedge) and wondered why I ordered a sad and solitary glass of wine, lol Huge portion of beautiful fish arrives...with a big portion of more salad. Wait...what? That was seriously confusing. Fish was perfectly cooked, although I would ask next time for a little less lemon pepper, and I like it strong. Rice tender and fluffy,all in all great. I took the excess salad home. No worries. Then the strange part...my sales ticket did not print, and the manager had to come in and print me a ticket. There was no place to add a tip. They to.d me to catch them next time. They kept my ticket (That I had signed on the bottom) and Really, I just felt slightly uneasy. All in all, I think my issues were small, and were just an issue of growing pains. The cheerfulness and the service quality more than made up for the little things. I look forward to many more great times here. read more

Good but a chain. Don't expect amazing but it is good. The three times I have been here dishes are dirty thou. Very off putting. The food is decent. read more

So we have had several very nice meals here. But tonight was a horrible disappointment. My adult beverage was mediocre at best. But then we didn't get the croissants, they forgot the salad which was an up charge and charged a full rack of ribs even tho we ordered a half rack. Napkins appear to be optional here. I had to ask several times to get some. We finally got the croissants at the middle of the meal and my salad at the end. Not sure when I will want to come back. read more

We were finally able to get into the new Cheddar's mid-afternoon on a weekend. I ordered the ribeye meal, which at first glance appeared to be a great deal. Unfortunately, the medium rare ribeye I ordered was cooked medium well and, in some places, completely well done and grey throughout. The steak was ridiculously thin, which was likely the culprit in making it near impossible to cook properly. Had I known, I wouldn't have ordered it. Sure, I could have sent it back, but then I would have been waiting while the rest of my family finished their meals, and I didn't want to hold up the rest of our day. My family enjoyed their meals, however. We'll likely be back, I just won't be ordering the steak again. read more

Went with my family for dinner one night, the hostess said the wait would be about an hour and that they'd call us - he said they closed at 9pm so they would be trying to get us in before closing. They never called at all, not even to tell us they were unable to take us, thankfully we were able to get seated at another restaurant nearby. read more

Okay. Pays more attention to people who go every week. I know, was one. Tired of being treated "better". Food is good. Kudos to their Chicken Pot Pie. Too noisy for anyone who who just wants a nice quiet place. If you like to be center of attention, squeezed into uncomfortable chairing (booths are for certain ppl -really?), then this is the place for you. read more

The food here was not good. The salad I had was terrible. Lettuce not fresh and cheese was gross.

Recently my family and I dined out at Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen. In the past, I've praised them for their compliance with food allergies, especially on the soy level. However, this has changed drastically. According to the waitress, the kitchen staff, and manager, "there is soy in EVERYTHING." I inquired about their olive oil. Guess what? No olive oil, they have an olive oil/soybean oil blend. What? She said I could have vinegar and lemon for my salad. I ordered the whitefish and rice. It is cooked in soy. The waitress stated the kitchen could cook it with butter, but it will "look like crap because it will stick to the pan." What? Her annoyed demeanor grated my emotions. My husband and parents weren't happy with her, either. She did go back and forth from the kitchen to our table a handful of times due to our inquiries, but since I didn't feel like dying that day, it was needed. We were on the verge of leaving, but I wanted to see it through, curious as to what the state of my food would be. Orders placed. A few minutes later, the waitress brought out their well-known honey croissants. From prior experience with the manager in 2018, I knew they were filled with soy. Guess where she placed them? Right in front of me. Thanks, but I don't want your death croissants. I passed the plate down to my husband, swallowing back tears, another reminder of what I can't eat. I'll enjoy my vinegar and lemon salad; oh wait, I can't. When my salad was delivered, it had croutons on it. She hadn't a clue if they had soy in them. Super. When I received my fish, it didn't look like crap at all. I was hopeful. I took a bite and coughed; the fish was overly seasoned; the pepper burned my throat. I could hardly eat it; we all wondered at the table if it was done purposefully. The restaurant employees knew we weren't pleased but didn't seem to mind. I was disheartened and frustrated. I don't expect the world to stop because I have a soy allergy; however, I do expect concern and empathy. I expect proper education on food allergies. I expect higher standards when my health is on the line. I've heard it before, "Why don't you just eat home? People don't have to cater to your food allergy." People don't, and I do eat at home 99% of the time. I make everything from scratch because dying would suck. What bothers me is how I'm made to feel like an inconvenience and irritant. How dare I ask for olive oil. How dare I have an allergy that could kill me. How dare I have food standards. Unfortunately, Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen is off my list, and I will adjust my review I posted last year. I'm aware many restaurants use soybean oil to cut costs, but the risk isn't worth it -- also, the health negatives of using soybean oil, which is for another time. I can't stress enough about the importance of food allergy education. Going out to eat for me is terrifying for my family and me. All we want is an informative and caring staff, is that too much ask? Apparently, it is. read more

GET THE FRIES. It's not often I find a place that has exceptionally good french fries. I am very particular about my fries. Gotta be hot. Gotta be super golden brown if not extra crispy to a crisp on the outside and soft and pillowy on the inside. Their fries are the "regular" long cut. They were so damn good they tasted like truffle fries somehow. I had two plates of these fries after eating a huge-ass bowl of broccoli cheddar soup. read more

I've always had great food at this location. I've been to a few other Cheddar's around central Florida, and I think this one has some of the best food and portion sizes. We always get great service too! read more

This place is everything!!!! Super affordable: 60$ for dinner for 3...with appetizer, beer, extra side dish. Really fast service, our waitress victoria was friendly. Food was fantastic! Better than your average chain restaurant. I had blackened salmon, the boyfriend had key west chicken and shrimp which came with the best teriyaki sauce!!! I want to eat here every night of my life. Two thumbs up read more

I've been there before and things were okay, but tonight, they got my order wrong, didn't come back for a long time to fill up my drink, and took forever to come for the check. It was $30 just for me. Not worth it. read more

So Much Excellent Food to Choose From. Dont let a wait detour you from waiting, Cheddars serves fresh hot delicious food quickly and turns tables over when the place is packed. I could have not been more pleased with the atmosphere, food, service as well as all staff. Love the Menu Choices, So Much food at a good price read more

Bee here three times. Always good food. Slight disappointment on country fried steak. More breading than meat. The gravy was bland. They write the corn is cut fresh from the cob. Maybe at one time it was from the cob but they admitted it was fresh from the bag. Still tasted like can. Still like this restaurant. Always clean. Waitress was very nice read more

The hostess with the tattoos and multi colored hair should not work with the public. She was flat out RUDE, rolling her eyes and makes faces at everyone. Hostessing isn't for everyone, and DEFINITELY not for her!! It's a busy restaurant. It was a Friday night. I get it. But seriously, get over yourself. The fries were old and gross. Our server was fine. Rest of the food was ok. We probably won't be back because of the hostess read more

Fabulous restaurant! Never heard of this place, came here with family. A great place to eat. Waitstaff is awesome!!! Highly recommended. read more

Nice restaurant very clean which is expected because it is so new. Didn't really like the menu selection but I tried the country fried steak. It was ok not great. I could only eat half of it but it is huge. Service was prompt and polite. We will be going back sometime to try other menu items. read more

Just had an awful experience at Chilis and left without eating so we thought we'd give Cheddars another shot. We were seated right away and we got Quade as our server. He was fast, friendly and funny. We had a great meal, great service and the speed has definitely picked up since opening. We're excited to go back in a few weeks for date night again. read more

The server Sherman (sheen) is so awesome and a great server. It was my boyfriend and his dads birthday and he made sure they were enjoying themselves. Logan was so nice and friendly! He even gave them cookies I feel like I had a restaurant full of friends. :))))) read more

This week, I had a server who did not return my change. I had to ask for it in order to add to it to leave my tip. The food was good as usual. read more

Best chicken fingers ever. Put them on a salad and you feel like you have had a healthy meal. Really good chicken pot pie. Salmon is good with the bourbon honey sauce too. Relaxing atmosphere and nice wait staff. An easy place to go get a meal. read more

This is my favorite cheddars. I had the half rack of ribs and they were fall off the bone good! Their broccoli cheese casserole is amazing along with their lemon pepper chicken. The tenders are to die for and the servers do an awesome job giving you multiple dipping choice options. read more

We love it here so much we come weekly. Make sure you get the spinach dip for an app! It's one of our favorite things to get. I also suggest the Buffalo chicken wrapper, so good! read more

When you walk into Cheddar's, the atmosphere is so welcoming and inviting. My partner and I got greeted with a smile and brought to a table immediately. Our server was amazing, friendly and helpful without being overbearing- because we all know how annoying it can be to have your waiter come up to your table every 2 seconds. I myself, being a vegetarian, got the veggie plate which is AMAZING because you get one of their amazing honey-butter croissants, your choice of a house or chef salad and then 4 different sides from the menu. I personally always get the steamed broccoli (which is the best I've ever had from anywhere and, yes, there is a difference between good and bad steamed broccoli), seasoned rice, corn off the cob and my fourth side is always a wild card. On this particular visit I had the mashed potatoes which were just as great as everything else. Would highly recommend! read more

Great food and service at very reasonable prices. I had a chicken pot pie and it had been a long time since I had one this good. I'll make sure to come back next time I'm in town. read more

This was my first time at cheddars, nice atmosphere, it was before the rush ( not busy) on Easter Sunday. My server A. Seemed a bit rushed but pleasant. Showed me the menu recommended spinach dip w/chips I agreed then A. Came back took my order she recommended the salmon. It was dry she was over worried about it. Mgr came by to buy my meal to compensate. I said that not necessary. She gave me cookies. The bill was dropped off . Do you notice anything( I never got the spinach dip) loaded baked potato had fake butter, broccoli casserole (lukewarm). Over all atmosphere pleasant food not so much. read more

My family and I tried 3 different times and days of the week hoping to get a decent meal. Each time something was wrong. Visit #1 - Super slow service, hair in food. Mgr offered to remove hairy food from bill but forgot so we to find him to remind him. Visit #2 - Slow service, had to ask a random server to find our server. Recieved apps before our drinks. Food was missing, had to remind them what our sides were. Visit #3 - Tried to order a burger cooked medium was told "couldnt cook that temp for health reasons". Burger came way over done. I returned it got a steak instead. It was great. However..... when we first got the burgers we ordered to chicken finger platters for our kids at home. Got the check asked about the fingers and she forgot to put in the order. We were going to just leave but the front mgr "Jason" came over and said he would get the chicken fingers for us now and free of charge. He came back fast and was nice and apologized. We got home ready to feed our children and opened the container to find 5 chicken fingers. This is not even half of the amount we ordered. Its clear to me that Jason basically wanted us to shut up and leave. I hope this place gets its act together. read more

Arrived at 4:30 for a really late lunch. Only waited about 10 minutes to be seated. Placed drink orders which were promptly delivered. Good start! The Onion Ring tower is a must have appetizer. Takes a little bit of time because they are freshly made! Delicious. Entree ordered were ribs and shrimp combo and the grilled chicken shrimp with tropical pineapple salsa. Both entrees came with 2 sides. The food was delivered in a reasonable amount of time and was quite tasty. The chicken and ribs were tender and the shrimp had a nice spice to it. Overall it was a good meal for the price. read more
