    Steak Tips, my wife and I liked it and I will be back for some more.
    TD H.

    The place is always packed when I passed by so I decided to stop and check it out with my wife. We both went for the steak tips and we both found it delicious. Tgey also offer a free honey honey butter croissant that is very good, not too sweet but hits the point. We will be back for the great service and food

    Homemade Onion Rings

    The Homemade Onion Rings are back! They taste essentially the same as they did before the pandemic. Now, they're a bit crunchier. They came with the same dipping sauces as before (Ranch and a "Cajun" sauce). If you haven't tried them yet then you should now! For entrées, we ordered the Grilled Chicken Pecan Salad and the Crispy Chicken Tender Salad. Both salads were fresh and delicious. The service was attentive and friendly. The restaurant & restrooms were clean.

    It was our first time at this restaurant and it was a hit. We were all pleased with our delicious meals and the service was exceptional! We will return.

    Great croissants to start!

    Had a nice dinner recently at the Cheddars. Our food was excellent, the noise level was low and our server Darrell was fantastic! He was very informative about menu items, didn't rush us at all, was very attentive and a very, very nice man. I hope when we return, we are fortunate enough to have him as our server. The steaks were cooked perfectly to order as we requested. I really don't have anything to complain about except that I'm hungry right now and I feel like running back there!

    Entrees

    Very dimly lit joint which is a bit odd for something envisioning itself as a southern type restaurant. We sat in the bar (there's actually a bar in there). Barkeep was Brandon; I was a bit reticent at first because he didn't seem that outgoing. Once my dear Queen Bee said we'd never been here, he became a lil more outgoing. He went on to tell us what he likes, about drink specials, what many people order, etc. We didn't want apps, soup or anything so we just perused the menu a bit. Queen Bee already knew what she wanted but I deferred a bit. She had chicken tenders with a side salad and by Brandon's suggestion broccoli cheese casserole. Salad was basically a salad, to paraphrase the Queen Bee. Brandon mixed up the dressing she wanted for her tenders (ranch ) with what she wanted for salad (bleu cheese). He also forgot to bring out the (now salad) dressing so he dashed back off to get what turned out to be the wrong one. That gaff was followed by the broccoli cheese casserole (Brandon's "favorite" no less) clusterf**k. It was pure crap! Tasted like the "green stuff" one might find on a high school cafeteria lunch tray. Not only that, but it was also cold...not tepid, not warm, but COLD. I convinced her to get rid of it for something else; she chose mashed taters. "Gravy," Brandon asked...he said he likes their beef gravy. I rolled my eyes when she agreed to beef gravy. Big clusterf**k number two. Taters were a bit salty, but the gravy sent me back yet again to that high school cafeteria lunch tray. Blech! Straight from a bag, a can or an electric mixer...The ol' gravy boat certainly didn't take a side trip to Flavortown. I think the poor thing sank in the mudflats with all hands down!!! Her tenders were quite good, she said. Honey hot sauce was too acidic for either of us. My ribeye was okay; cooked to a slightly underdone medium. It was topped with garlic butter, which gave that mediocre meat mass a bit more flavor. Baked tater was a baked tater. I find it saddening to report that the best part of the meal was a (Caesar) salad, which can be one's second side for a small up charge. That is rather strange, but I guess it involves more work than just opening a bag of frozen corn or (heaven forbid) that horrendous broccoli cheese casserole. Would we return? Eh...I know that if we DO choose to return (damn big IF), we'd choose different (and simpler) food items. She'd have chosen fries with her tenders, and I'd probably stay with something like country fried steak, montecristo or something...and definitely NOT mashed taters, broccoli cheese casserole, or much of ANYTHING ELSE that Brandon likes. Blech!!!

    Anthony, our top notch server

    On the way to a concert, we stopped at this restaurant (first visit) at opening time 5pm. There is a peaceful fish tank in the entrance on the right. Nice touch. We were seated quickly and Anthony, our server, was top notch. He brought bread (must-have honey crescents) and menus right away. Next came beverages and he took our order within five minutes. He knew that menu well and it came to the table hot within 10min!! He was so quick and efficient. He is a team player and agreeable to work any position in the restaurant (cook, server and definitely a people pleaser). The chef (?)came out (Luis) and asked if everything was ok. It was so good to see people working together!! The food was delicious. I had bourbon glazed salmon, rice, carrots and corn and my husband had fried chicken, mashed potatoes, carrots and gravy. Both meals were simple and tasty! There is also a big bar in the restaurant! We will be back, for sure!!

    We showed up around 11:30 on a Saturday, not overly busy and the waitress greeted us quickly. We…read moreordered drinks and let them know we had a food allergy for our toddler. Chef came out and confirmed options, ordered a grilled cheese and fries right away (if you have a 2yr old, you know.) We sat and waited for that grilled cheese and our two entrees for over an hour and a half. We had to ask for updates, which never came. Many tables around us with small children were waiting this long too. We got the grilled cheese at the hour and a half, ours did not come with, and after our toddler finished half his meal we opted to cancel our order altogether. We missed nap time, we missed eating our meals, and left really frustrated with the lack of communication with a blank statement apology.

    We came on vacation and saw this place was close by with good reviews…read more Food was good but more of a bar atmosphere. It took a very long time for a waiter to come and give us the menu. They could have told us that they only had one cook today. It took about an hour. Honestly we should have left but since it was close by and we were pretty tired from the drive we stayed. The waitress forgot one of the orders and my mom had to eat from all of our plates. Other customers were also complaining about the wait time. Will not come back but I gave it 3 stars since they did give us a discount and apologized.

    Tasted better than I expected! They are good size sliders I was so full after having 2…read more There are only 2 different styles regular with a pickle, cheese and their Big Mac style sauce or bbq sauce, bacon and jalepeno. They also have queso you can dip it in or extra smauce. We got free sliders cards from the threshers game and they honored both. I saw they started in Louisiana from the same owner as Walk ons bistreaux.

    Date of Visit: 05/23/2026…read more It was a Saturday afternoon and I had some time, so I took Fritz out for a drive and headed to Clearwater up 19. Took that to Gulf-to-Bay and its right there as you head west. It was around 1pm and the parking was easy, plenty. I chose to walk up and order rather than the drive-thru, wanted to sit and eat. As I walked up on the place I could see it was made up of containers, shipping containers. By the way this is my first time at one of these places. When I entered I could see there were two sitting areas and one order/pick-up window. Checked the menu out and they really only have one burger. A single, double or triple patty. And it comes as Double (2 sliders), triple or a quad. I ordered the double with waffle fries and a coke. I did wait a short while, there was a line at the drive-thru when I arrived but not long. As I waited I looked around and found it odd they the walls were empty. I would expect a TV or a monitor with some on, nothing. I was called and I got my food. Whether you eat in or take out, it comes in a bag. no tray. First thing I was surprised by the fries, don't really prefer the waffle fry but these were done really good. Crispier than others. And the burgers were a good size for being a slider. And as another one said they were done right. I had LMO on mine with cheese. It was good burger and fry. As I sat there and ate some others sat as well and I over heard one say something about condiments and napkins. Although I did get napkins with I'm a ketchup person so I didn't notice at first. There are no condiment station anywhere, again, odd... Overall not a bad place if your driving thru, give it a try. Peace.
