    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

    Brisket Bomb

    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.

    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.

    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
    Lee P.

    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!!

    6 oz. Fire Grilled Sirloin

    Food was okay, steak was amazing but green beans were really sweet and didn't leave a great aftertaste. service was well, the waitresses seemed busy so they forgot a few thing but meant no harm. Ambiance was perfect, I was in awe of the restaurant.

    Monte Cristo- very good!
