It (the food) was good! The spot was nice the vibe was cool.... Fried fish with shrimp is what I had....could've e been seasoned a little better. Nothing little cocktail sauce and tartar sauce to remedy it up. The red beans were delish! Our server (pretty African American woman with gold and black locks) was outstanding.!!! So attentive and knowledgeable. We (my husband and I) were visiting Alabama with friends-this was our first time...glad we came read more

I absolutely love the food at Cheddars. However, I have quit dining at this location for the following reasons. 1. Dirty & Unkept: The sidewalk leading to the door is nasty with gum spots and is almost black. Needs a pressure washing bad. The inside normally numbers of unbused tables. 2. Loud atmosphere: The noise level makes it almost impossible to carry on a conversation without yelling. The restaurant area is more of a bar atmosphere than a dining experience. 3. Indifferent Staff: I have observed too many standing around gazing at their phones, or cutting up with fellow staff. They should be helping to clean tables and provide a better dining atmosphere. Overall, it is simply not a pleasant experience at Cheddars like it was until about 3 or 4 years ago. When they first opened, the place was constantly cleaned and maintained. With the front doors and handles are so dirty, it make one wonder how the kitchen area looks. read more

Did not have to wait to be seated. Fast friendly service. The presentation of all of our dishes were perfect. No issues and the price is fair for what you receive. The honey rolls were sweet soft and warm. The chicken and mushroom dinner was juicy and tasty. The buffalo wraps were more than you can finish and very good. All of our meals were great. We will come back again. The painkiller drink was a large. read more

We were having a really nice lunch today and enjoying our food until we noticed small bugs crawling on our table. It completely ruined the meal and freaked us all out. Now we are all feeling completely paranoid about the cleanliness of the space. It is a shame because the experience started out so well, but finding pests where you eat is unacceptable. read more

I ordered rare steak got it medium. 2nd steak was rare but so spicy I had to cut it off the outer edge off my steak. carrots were well done and dry. grandsons grilled cheese had a weird taste. I have eaten many times at this cheddars and it will be a long time before I come back. one saving grace... had gift cards so meal didn't cost me anything. read more

This visit was pretty good. I sat at the bar and was welcomed with a menu right away. The bartender was helpful and made sure I was taken care of, though it seemed like she could have used more help during such a busy time. Overall, I'd definitely return soon. read more

There are plenty of parking spaces. We took our grandmother to dinner to celebrate her 86th birthday. We all enjoyed our meals. There was a group of children (that looked to be pre-teens) behind us throwing food and ice. Another patron spoke up and said something to them because she and her mother were eating. She asked for the manager and he came out saying he didn't like the way she spoke to the kids. Not once did he or any of the staff ask the kids to stop. We agreed with her. I wouldn't have like to have something thrown in my hair or plate because they didn't know how to act. read more

Their grilled shrimp Alfredo was pretty good, last time I had their New Orleans pasta and it was not up to my liking. Their honey butter croissants are so good, it is a must when you go there, I believe they are complimentary but if you want more I think there is a charge but it's definitely worth it. Steak was also good, it was season and cooked perfectly, can't go wrong with ordering a steak! Prices are very reasonable and affordable. Service was amazing, Ti was our server & she was awesome!! There was about 16 of us and the space is very accommodating to large groups (but you'll separated if you're ok with that). This was my 2nd time here, a good place to check out if you're in the area! read more

I went with my family and they messed up with many items. When ordering my food they walked away before asking how I liked my steak, which lead to it being dry. I asked for no green beans in my chicken pot pie and they were still added. They also don't have any chicken in the chicken pot pie. My sister asked for both the strawberry and raspberry lemonade and they only gave her the raspberry one. The onions still had the skin on and the mushrooms tasted microwaved. The bread they gave me was soggy and not delightful to eat. Overall, they got the orders wrong repeatedly and the food was not good. I recommend saving your money. read more

Food was excellent & the service was very timely and discharged as consummate professional.

The food experience was great. This is a hometown favorite for me and my boyfriend's first time trying. Our server was Audrey and she was very efficient and kind. We both ordered alcoholic drinks. I got the Tiki and he got a Dos Equis and The Classic Mule. Audrey brought out the two complimentary croissants with honey butter sauce and this set the tone for what we will expect for great food for the rest of the evening. I ordered the key west chicken and shrimp and he ordered the Country Fried Steak. We did not need a to go box because the food was absolutely delicious. We both substituted one of our sides for a salad which was .99 cents. The building is pretty large and spacious. There is outdoor seating available. read more

Food was decent but the service was awful! Took a about twenty minutes for my waiter to get to me and then it kept taking about ten minutes for her to bring anything to our table. I understand being a waiter having only three tables but didn't even notice my moms birthday sash. Nothing, which isn't a big deal but nothing. It was bad plus the food on the other table thag was smelt for thirty minutes had bit been cleaned up. No one picked up any plates. I understand low staff as a past waiter but it was bad. read more

Got there at 5pm and waited almost 2 hours for dinner. We were celebrating my mom's birthday but you wouldn't have known since no one really paid us any attention. Our waiter only waited on 5 tables. One which left when we got there but you would've guessed they were waiting on half the restaurant. We already knew what we wanted when we sat so we ordered right away. Still waited about 30 minutes for food to come out. Then had to wait longer for a couple more plates. Had to ask for straws repeatedly. Asked for napkins but never got them. We order two order of double country fried chicken, an order of country fried steak, salmon, kids tenders, kids burger, 2 orders of sirloin, and a Monte Cristo. 2 painkillers and 2 margaritas. Firstly, I'd like to make it a point this is not our first time at a Cheddars. The croissants were crunchy. The two sirloins steaks were totally different cuts. One was actually a sirloin. The other looked more like a thin ny strip if even and sooo overcooked. One of my kids, who is far from picky, didnt want to eat his burger because he said it was so hard. I checked and the burger patty was solid and dry! Out of respect, I asked the waiter if our country fried dishes came with gravy because NONE of them came with gravy. I KNOW THEY DO. He flat out told me they did not come with gravy and said he can get some. The "gravy" he brought out was not gravy. It was chunky and I had a penne pasta in mine! I started wondering if he'd scoop someone's leftover into my plate. I did not finish it. My husband and brother did not touch their gravy. It was overall so disappointing. I tried to not let it ruin our night so I chose not to complain because reading these past review it would've been pointless anyway. Something needs to be done with the quality and service of this place because I haven't had such a bad experience from a chain restaurant in a long time. I would've never expected it from a Cheddars. read more

The service was quick and the attendant was nice. The food was delicious as always. I ordered car side pick up.

The wait on a Sunday night was a little over an hour, but once we were seated our server started off taking our drink/dinner orders all at once which was appreciated. We ordered drinks and the food didn't take long to come out at all but the bartender moved extremely slow, the drink I had was okay but it had way too much syrup in it. The food was really good, but the server never came back to ask if we needed the check split or to have us pay. We had some difficulties using the kiosk and wanted her to come back but she ignored the kiosk "call a server" blink a few times when passing the table. That was very annoying since her service did start off good but she left us hanging toward the end by disappearing. read more

I stopped here for dinner after leaving Columbus State and I will never return. The restaurant was disgusting. There was trash on floor, the bar was dirty, and the bathroom sinks look like it hasn't been cleaned in days. I also observe the bartender wearing same gloves she made drinks, cash customers out, sleeping the floor, and bring food with. She also refilled the coconut that they use on the glass rim and spread it out with her hands (wearing the same gloves). The silverware was dirty and the steak sauce bottle has never been cleaned (for those who have worked in food service before, know what I mean). I'm not sure how they got a 91 on the health inspection. read more

Sadly, last time we will come here. We used to like Cheddars (I feel like you could probably start quite a few reviews of restaurants these days with those words.) I, for one, am tired of everyone giving the new generation a pass on customer service because it's just who they are. We waited for the host to stop chatting with the bartender and another waitress to be seated. We were served 3 croissants for a table of 5 and were told (after we asked) that more would be brought (they never were.). All I ordered was potato soup and some cheddar bites. The place is not busy. It was a long time before the table's food was brought... no soup. Waitress said they ran out. Handed me my cheese bites. They were cold. Asked that they be reheated. Waitress came back and explained they are now making soup & fresh cheese bites and that she had to get the manager to make the soup. Why? Why does a manager have to get involved for soup? Waitress was apologetic, but too late. read more

First time here and service was on point. Anytime we go anywhere we always feel for the vibe and Michaels vibe was great!! The food was okay and you definitely get more food for your buck which is always a good thing if you come with an empty stomach...;) They told us wait time is an hour but we were seated in 30minutes for a party of 10. What we ordered: Monte Cristo- 5/5The breading was crispy, airy and soft, the smoked turkey and ham with cheese had a smoky flavor and to pair off with a sweet jam. Top sirloin with coconut shrimp-3/5The sirloin was okay, I didn't get a wow factor from it. It was missing flavor! The coconut shrimp was extra crispy and the coconut flakes probably fell off in the oil. Kids chicken tenders 5/5 If we ever pass through again we'll definitely stop by to try something else! read more

The queso was god awful. You have to put ketchup on your burger; like if I wanted to do that, I should've made it my damn self. The fries were good, though. read more

On 2/3/24, this location is a shit show and a joke of a management team. The front hostess was rude as hell, and not caring about sitting our party of 10 together. Instead she insisted to put our party in 2 groups of 5 in different locations of the restaurant. Do not eat at this restaurant because it is poorly organized and the booth where we sat had food and trash under the table. Plus at this posting their food score was 91. On top of this disaster they told us it would be a 20 minute wait, turned into almost an hour. Then we waited 45 minutes for our food. Plus they served one of our meals in a damn to go box while dining inside. Needless to say.. we won't be back to this place again. read more

The service, food and atmosphere is outstanding! I love everything about Cheddar's if anyone hasn't visited this place I recommend you should come trust and believe you would not be disappointed. read more

Loaded Cheese fries for appetizer = very fulfilling and recommend as they are delish. Chicken fried chicken= great, but the texture of the chicken was questionable. Looked cooked thoroughly but the slime/ chewy texture of the chicken made me wonder if it was barely cooked through. The sides were tasty! Drinks= I recommend as the bartender knows how to prepare a drink well. The pain killer drink is surely not for the weak links. The bathrooms: GROSS Dirty, a smell that was unpleasant. I don't think the restaurant is sanitary up to standard. Our server= Tay- was phenomenal ! read more

Why bother? They have gotten rid of the onion rings, the Hawaiian salad, the Key West chicken and shrimp, the spasagna, the dijon chicken and mushrooms, the catfish, and who knows what else. The whole purpose of streamlining a menu is to concentrate on making fewer items but higher quality. But what's the point if all the fan favorites are taken away? Cheddars has lost the magic that made Cheddars...well, Cheddars. The only reason they get 3 stars is due to commendable service. read more

I have been a customer of Cheddar's since it opened years ago in Columbus GA. In the past I could depend on this restaurant for good food and service. However, only 1 of my last 5 carry out orders were correct. Four times multiple orders were incorrect. At times items were missing. Other times the food was not good. We received burgers on hard buns. Yesterday, I received a side Caesar salad with the dressing already on the salad and only 1 crouton. The dressing should be on the side. To make it even worse, there was a lot more dressing than I would have used. Also, there were no toppings provided for my baked potato. These things aren't a huge deal, but it does make your meal less enjoyable. I know anyone can have a bad day. I understand that Cheddar's prepares many orders everyday. With the amount of people they serve daily some orders will not be correct. The problem I have is repeatedly receiving incorrect orders lately. I remained a customer due to pleasurable past experiences, but I'm done after my recent experiences. read more

Cheddar's is delicious & affordable. There are always people standing in the front area waiting for tables. Don't be fooled by the huge crowd spilling out of the restaurant or in the front lobby. I've never had to wait longer than 2 minutes for a table. The restaurant is huge. The food is cheap, but good. You really get a lot for a little. I've been to Cheddar's at least 20 times & always come here at least once when I'm in Columbus. On my latest visit I ordered the Bourbon glazed salmon over rice (lunch portion) with broccoli and a side salad. My bill was $10! The side salad is ALWAYS my go to side. It's really good! It comes with chopped carrots, tomatoes, boiled chopped eggs, croutons, the best buttered croissant ever, & that watery but good restaurant ranch. The side salad almost fills you up. The salmon is great and the lunch portion is more than enough food. It has always been cooked perfectly when I've ordered it. You can get the salmon blackened or Bourbon glazed; the Bourbon glaze comes on the side. The rice underneath is ok, just add a little Bourbon glaze for flavor. The broccoli is steamed and just feels like it goes with salmon. But there are so many other good sides if you're not in a healthy mood. The service is usually pretty quick for a big restaurant. The bar area is filled with tvs. Good food (I'd also recommend the chicken strips, mozzarella sticks, chicken Alfredo pasta...and probably everything on the menu) and even better prices! read more

This is really a 3.5 star review. I came here on Thursday April 12 for dinner because I wanted spinach and artichoke dip and broccoli casserole. There wasn't a wait even though the parking lot was mostly full. There might have been more people out on the patio. My waitress was extremely attentive and my water never went empty. I order the spinach and artichoke dip right away. Then I figured out what my meal was going to be. The reason for the decrease is the fact that the kitchen did not manage their orders. My dip came out followed shortly by my main course. There was no time for me to even eat any dip. Luckily the second server recommended taking my main course back for a bit. Everything tasted great. Just the timing was off. read more
