The filthy , sticky table in the back corner of the restaurant was where we sat for 20 minutes without service. It was slow otherwise and we must assume they were too busy chatting with the hostess to even see if we wanted water. We will find someplace else to celebrate from now on . read more

The skylight has slowly-turning vertical South American bamboo fans. All the booths are wrapped in classy dark-stained wood. The atmosphere is very comfortable. The food is what's wrong with America. Let's say your grandma is visiting from Nebraska. She's on the plane, and you're wringing your sweaty hands. What if the teenager next to her starts playing rock and roll on their iPhone? What about her heart condition? When you pick nana up from the airport, take her to Cheddar's so she can have no surprises. The two of you can sit together with food... that isn't noticeable. She can tell you about how Betsy "just insists on keeping that dog." "Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen" serves meals that are formulated so as never to offend any American. They've been carefully processed by a team of experts so they won't surprise even the Kraftiest canned-pasta lover. All flavors and textures have been designed so that you don't have to worry about bold flavor. Feeling adventurous? Try the spice-free "Blackened Shrimp." Some sort of marketing team of guys wearing $3,000 suits came up with the name "Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen." There is no cheddar to be found, and nothing is made from "scratch." You get processed American cheese on thawed frozen food. Many times, I'd seen this chain lurking near a freeway overpass. Every time, I thought "Gee, that intrigues me." If you called a place "Butter's," I'd probably try it once. Good job, marketing team. Cheddar's gets two stars. The name irks me because it is misleading, but this isn't the worst frozen food. It isn't a Banquet frozen dinner. This is on a Pepperidge Farms level. read more

The last two times I ordered curbside from the Murfreesboro, TN location, the order included one of your ribeye steaks. Both times they had a ridiculous amount of pepper/spices on them. This last order was so awful we had to rinse the steak off. I'm not sure why the chef has to ruin a perfectly good piece of beef by drowning it in pepper/spices. I could understand if it was an old crappy piece of beef...that is NOT the case here. It's sad when I spend $21 on a steak and its barely edible even after being rinsed off. My husband told me NOT to order any more steaks from Cheddars for him. Your loss!!! read more

Typical chain restaurant decor and feel. Fairly clean and one of the more busy restaurants on this particular road. Great location for people passing through. We stopped on our way back from vacation headed toward Pennsylvania. I ordered the queso and a quesadilla. My parents had bowls of soup and onion rings. The soups came out cold, like realllyyy cold. It was gross. They asked them to bring out warm soups and it took a pretty long time (5-10 minutes). All my food was great though. Service wasn't the quickest or friendliest. Cheddar's is a decent option in Camden, which doesn't have a lot to offer. read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Quesadilla and Queso - Comfort Food Near Me - Camden, Delaware

I have eaten from this location twice while visiting from out of town and both times I utilized the order ahead option. I have been more than happy and satisfied with the quality and service I've received from the taste and temperature of the meals to the smiles and friendliness of the staff. This has made my day upon each visit. Thank you. read more

Omg this was disgusting burnt food with burnt pieces from grill , my beer sat lonely across the bar forever while I ate my burnt food around the edges . I should have gone to McDonald's or got a gas station hot dog, the one in the back that was sittin there the day before god awful place . read more

I just ate at Cheddar's restaurant today. I have been eating there for about 8 maybe 9 years. Let me tell you the place is going way down hill. I ordered the grilled whitefish, blackened with a double side of broccoli. My wife ordered the shrimp platter. My broccoli was overcooked, mushy and looked old. They brought me another order of broccoli, this time they were green but also overcooked .And the fish was mushy, also overcooked, both times I sent it back. My wife's fries was burned and hard. 8 years ago the food was so good and I didn't have to send anything back. I went to the bathroom and the staff was standing in the hallway and kitchen entrance talking, with a manager standing there with them. I guess I was in their way. We hear laughter and broken dishes. Such a bad atmosphere, the walls and floors are dirty, hate to see the kitchen. I felt so disgusting and hated paying for a bad meal, my food got taken off but still payed over $40. So not worth it. Might I add the manager never came over to talk to us, I guess she didn't care. We won't be back. Good luck with your empty restaurant with the bad food. read more

Delicious and perfectly grilled salmon. Missed the onion rings since they're no longer on the menu. John was our waiter and he was knowledgeable and very enthusiastic to help us find anything on the menu and was excellent! read more

It's a pretty standard fast-casual BUT I love the honey butter croissants. Overall, definitely a step up over Applebee's, RT, and Chilli's. The offers are more diverse and the food itself is better quality. Apparently they are being acquired by Darden (Olive Garden, Longhorn, Bahama Breeze) for $780M so they must be doing something right! Some highlights: 1. Country Fried Chicken: Solid for a chain and one of the few places where you can get this besides Cracker Barrel The chicken itself isn't really super seasoned but that's what the gravy is there for. The thick Texas Toast is a nice pairing. 2. Honey Butter Croissants: Need I say more? 3. Santa Fe spinach dip: Very solid spinach dip with a slightly spicy Southwestern twist. 4. Wisconsin cheese bites: Basically fried cheese curds. Not bad but they don't have that 'squeak' that you look for in cheese curds. 5. Broccoli cheese casserole: Ok, this is one of my guilty-pleasure comfort foods and this is the only place I can get it as an everyday side. Very cheesy and the broccoli is fresh. I get this every time. Tip: You have to ask for the honey butter croissants! Service is generally solid. I would say that this is a 3.5 star and definitely a nicer version of your standard fast-casual. read more

Pleasant atmosphere, friendly staff and extensive menu. Large bar area with tables. Entrees are tasty well prepared with normal size portions. Usually there is a wait but due to the size of the restaurant the waitlist moves fairly quick. Kids menu also available. read more

We went at your location in Camden DE on 5/28/2023 for dinner. We ordered Rib eye (medium), and sirloin (well done). We got our meal the 1st one it was well done Rib eye and medium sirloin. We called the server, and she took it and bring back the second one, again well done Rib eye, medium sirloin. We called the server for second time, and finally she called the manager. The third one, we got burned sirloin, which we did not eat it, and we ate the medium well rib eye (still wrong but we were so hungry). We were so dissapointed, since we were celebrating my nephew birthday that day. This was my 2nd time came to cheddar, the 1st one was in 2018 in Aurora, CO. So, we spent almost 2 hours, and still not getting the right meal. Very disappointed. read more

There tonight w/my daughter for the 1st time. The one in Erie on Interchange Rd. I can't get over how amazing everything was. The ambiance, the food, the staff, especially our server, Gianna B. A+ in my book. It's been a while since I had an experience like that read more

Totally disappointed! Set down at our table at 6:41 pm. Didn't get our food till 8:10pm just me and my daughter. A course they screwed our food up. Very disappointed in the management at this restaurant. Our server was pretty good. read more

I am very upset with Cheddars of Camden Delaware. We took I Our family out for dinner. We had a hard time getting our steaks right, when we were able to finely eat. There was a party starting, they decided to play music very loud bye our table, I asked if they were paying for our meals they said NO. I called for the manner. Were so up set we couldn't eat our meal in peace. We got up and left we talked to the manager she only said sry while paying our bill. After paying over $95.00 for our meals. I was so upset not sure if we will ever go back. This is very unsettling read more

Cheddars is hit or miss these days. For example the last three times I ordered the steak they burned it. A few weeks ago, I ordered that and two other meals and they messed the order up three times. On the third time I refused to go back there and get a fourth order because it was a to go order and I had kids to keep bringing back and fourth. The manager said they would log my name to replace it. Called today to place an order for my family and they took the order and then stated they could not take the order for the complimentary meal, I needed a manager. Stayed on hold 16 minutes no manager. They then said their running around somewhere. It was nothing they could do! So basically, your manager lied about this log! I use to go there weekly, but I am over them at this point! read more

On my visit, I enjoyed the Blackened Salmon served over a bed or rice, with a side of fresh corn off the cob and broccoli. All of the items were prepared well, served hot, and delicious! Overall, it was a great evening spent with family over a tasty hot meal. The croissants served in advance looked delectable as they were dripping with a hot icing. I elected not to try them but I enjoyed looking at them! Everyone seemed to enjoy their meal (rack of ribs, pot pie, and chicken fingers). read more

I've been to a Cheddars in other states and for a chain they do extraordinarily well. Their food seems to always come out piping hot, service is A+, and I guess "scratch kitchen" is appropriate because it does take more then average waiting time for their food to come out. Cheddars is different. Usually you don't get this quality of food, care and service in a large chain restaurant. read more

The meal started out great. I got an order of onion rings for our appetizer and they were awesome. Almost everything else was mediocre, at best. GF and I both ordered the top sirloin steak and ribs combo which came with two sides. I had my steak cooked rare and had the seasoned rice and southern green beans. The steak was ok, it was cooked correctly. Not the best I've ever had but not the worst. The rice wasn't too bad either. The green beans were some kind of pre-cooked trash that had been reheated. They were mushy and tasted terrible. My GF's mashed potatoes were pretty terrible too. I'm pretty sure they were some kind of instant mashed potatoes. GF asked for refill on drink and waitress never came back. I asked for extra napkins and we got two. If I'm spending $50 on a meal you can stop pinching pennies and pony up more than two napkins. read more

I love Cheddars! Inhavs never had bad food there. The honey butter croissants are the best!

I had to do a double-take when I recieved the bill. Two adults, with drinks (one non-alcoholic, one alcoholic), an appetizer, and two entrees...came to a whopping $38.25! The server was exceptional (Dylan). The food was piping hot. This is one of best chain restaurants I've ever been to. Wish they had one near Philadelphia though... read more

Classy casual ambiance. Has the feel of a steakhouse. Very reasonable prices. Great for large parties and families. Chips and homemade queso- very good Citrus miso glazed salmon-fish was good and cooked well. The miso sauce was too salty. Was 550 calories or less, small portion size Cornmeal catfish- delicious Friendly service. read more

My daughter and I had a very good dinner here for under $50, and that's with one appetizer, two entrees, and two desserts. We waited approximately 15 minutes to be seated on a Saturday night. The decor inside is lovely, warm and inviting. We were seated in a comfortable booth near the windows. Our server was friendly and attentive. He even brought extra sauce for our appetizer without having to be asked. He was always ready with a refill on our drinks before we even needed to ask. We had the mozzerella sticks as an appetizer. The sauce was too garlicky for me, but my daughter liked it. She had chicken and waffles for dinner, and I had chicken strips with fries and salad. All of it was consistently good. For dessert, I ordered the key lime mini, and she ordered the chocolate cake sundae. It was crazy huge!!! Our check was brought out promptly, and we were wished a good night by all of the staff we passed as we left. We would definitely go back! read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Key Lime Pie Mini Dessert and Chocolate Cake Sundae Dessert - Comfort Food Near Me - Camden, Delaware

Cheddar's has really good food and great prices. 3 words: Honey Butter Croissants! They are amazing!! Get you some!! I ordered the Half Rack Ribs & Chicken Tenders with a loaded baked potato and green beans. I loved the entire meal! The BBQ sauce on the ribs is amazing; The seasoning on the green beans, perfect! I love crispy, flaky, chicken fingers and even my potato was extremely tasty. The service was great. I wish I remembered her name because she did everything she could for us to enjoy our dining experience. I ordered the Spiked Strawberry Lemonade mainly because it had vodka and sliced strawberries in it on the menu....2 of my fav's. Instead it came out to me with cherries. I was a little disappointed especially after I was told there were no strawberries in the building but the server got me a little cup of strawberry puree with little pieces of strawberry in it. Not only was I satisfied that I had strawberries, it made my drink taste even better! Great dining experience! read more

if I could give ZERO stars, I would. ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE KITCHEN STAFF. My family has been regulars since the opening of this restaurant and this is the worst experience I've ever had. Every part of our order was continually wrong and, I promise, we didn't order anything crazy. Our poor server was trying to cover up for the kitchen's mistakes. I do not recommend this establishment to anyone and I will not be returning. This place is going downhill and quick. read more

Good food decent prices and good service. Can't go wrong! The hamburgers are good and so are the croissants

Stopped by here after needing to visit Diamond Motor Sports across the street. Service was good. Food was good (I'd compare it to a solid Applebee's or TGI Fridays)... But I'd say the prices are what makes this place worth going to. Only downside to the place is the time. It took a good 40 min for our meals to come out after ordering (we came in around noon on a Saturday, didn't appear crazy busy but there was a good handful of people). read more

We decided to try Cheddars for the first time this weekend. We went on a Friday night around 7pm, and were told there was a 30 min wait. We could see how fast they were turning tables, and it didn't feel like we waited the full half hour before our booth was ready. We started with queso dip and a small plate of cheese fries. The fries were good, your normal cheese fries. The queso was possibly the best cheese dip I've ever had. The apps came out crazy quick, and we were snacking on them while we looked at the menu. I ordered the key lime chicken and shrimp, which comes with rice. It was good, but wasn't a game changer dish. I'd eat it again, but I feel like there are other things I'd enjoy more. I had the green beans and mac n cheese. The mac was overcooked and mushy, and a bit bland. Very underwhelming. My husband ordered the steak and tenders. He was impressed with the cut of the steak, and it was cooked perfectly. He also had the mac (and found it just okay), as well as the broccoli and cheese casserole, which he said was amazing. I would have loved to try dessert, but we were stuffed. The peach tea was a lovely complement to the meal. The service was attentive without being overbearing. Food was delivered quickly and was hot. The ambiance was nice, but still casual. We both left with a list of items to try next time we come! Overall, we were very pleased with Cheddars! read more

Nov.18 - Friday. The Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen. My husband and I ate their early evening. We notice that the maitre De sat all the Black people in the back. When I questioned it she said,"there wasn't enough servers." As, we are leaving this restaurant I looked to the front and noticed that ALL of the customers was white. In the same section that I requested to be seated. What is going on? read more

First time at Cheddars. Let me say we would come back here. From scratch cooking with friendly staff. Kids chicken fingers, key west chicken, pot pie & croissants. Staff was friendly, attentive & personable. Croissants were warm. Caesar salad was big for a side and lettuce was fresh. Food came out hot & delicious. Tenders we crispy & a great portion for kids. Pot pie was filled with veggies with a flaky crust. Key west chicken had amazing spice & flavor. Broccoli casserole was delicious & corn was your yummy. Under $25 for 4 people to eat dinner is awesome. Will come back! read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Love their fish tank - Comfort Food Near Me - Camden, Delaware

First time eating here. We had a good experience. Our server was Dustin who did an excellent job of meeting our needs. The food was good. We ate the croissants and chicken tenders. The tenders were moist and tasty. Someone had the Salmon which was good. The nacho appetizer was good too. We visited on a busy Sunday afternoon and service was still on point. People were constantly going in and out. We were there around the 4- 5pm timeframe. We will be back on our next trip through Dover. read more

I first discovered Cheddars in Texas and was surprised to see one here. This is the best place I've found to eat within 30 mins of my home. I love the curbside service. My order has never been delayed and the staff has been great. There are a lot of choices for a meal and the food is good. My only issue is those croissants! I can't get enough of them! read more

This restaurant is fairly new. Its actually in Camden. I have eaten at Cheddars in different states. I was not disappointed. They have fresh brewed Sweet Tea. I had Chicken Alfredo and buttered Sweet Corn. I was going to get dessert, but I ran out of room. The wait staff is friendly, the restaurant is clean and spacious as far as distance between tables & booths. There is a full bar too. Great spot for lunch, happy hour and dinner. read more

Keep driving. Super long wait to get in. Probably because of covid. Floor was greasy and it smelled bad. The food was gross. The service was super slow. The server was super nice and was extremely apologetic. Then like a day and a half later, 4/5 of us got sick. The one that did not get sick, did not eat with us. Not 100% sure it came from here but I'm 100% sure 4 of us got sick. I would stay away. read more

I ordered shrimp Alfredo the shrimp came with the tails. Why would you leave the shrimp tails on for a pasta dish? Annoying

The service is great and the employees make you feel welcome. The food is good. I like their grilled chicken pecan salad for lunch. The down side is the music that they play too loud to carry on a conversation. Add the two tvs showing sports and it definitely detracts from the atmosphere and dining pleasure. Either be a Restrauant or a sports bar. Otherwise you fail. The man behind us was practically yelling to be heard by his booth mates. read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - The stack was this high of onion rings! - Comfort Food Near Me - Camden, Delaware

Well forks I would love to be able to give Cheddars a 5 star like I always have had in the past. Unfortunately they no longer have onion rings, cheese bites or their fried shrimp. All of which I used to love. The loaded fries were great though. We also enjoyed the green beans! Our server Kyle was awesome. Very attentive and personable. Came with refills before our glasses we're even empty! He was 5 stars all night long. The call ahead for reservations isn't too bad. We came here from south jersey just for Cheddar's. read more

Be forewarned, GENEROUS portions exist so do not be afraid to share portions with another. This advice goes in line with the chicken meals we ordered - be it the Chicken sandwich with Honey Dijon, the chicken cuts with Honey Mustard, and even the HUGE apple Cobbler with Vanilla Ice Cream - and this could feed two EASILY as it comes with three scoops of ice cream for each order.  Not having ever seen this restaurant, it has been awhile since portions have truly exceeded the plate, this is one.  The Mango and Peach tea is another bonus to a more than generous portioned-meal. The inside is great, a little dark, yet the unusual ceiling fans and comfortable decor stands on its own for this establishment.  The service was fast. courteous, and available.  We figured what was ordered could have been one order and split between two people and not problem whatsoever.  We hit this on a Sunday right before the rush around 12:30 - and sealed a lazy, relaxing Sunday into a return for sure. read more

Food is tasty and atmosphere is decent. Feels like a chain but affordable and comfortable enough to bring a family or a group of friends.
