    The food was really good and the ambience is crowded, but good, the waiters are really nice. Highly recommended

    We hadn't been to a Cheddar's in a while, as there were so many service and food issues, so we gave up and just stayed away. But this past weekend, we thought they deserved another try. We asked for a good server, and did they deliver! We were seated right away. Alliyah was our server, and was terrific from start to finish! She had good energy, was kind, and had answers for our food questions! Such a bonus these days! We ordered our beverages and an appetizer. She brought us two incredible, flaky, golden croissants with their signature honey butter... oh, man, these are so delicious, warm, and leave you wanting more (they know how to keep you coming back! lol). The Wisconsin Cheese bites are OMG good! They were lightly breaded and cooked to perfection; these are a "must have" if you've never tried them! For dinner, we ordered the DIJON CHICKEN & MUSHROOMS: two grilled chicken breasts with honey Dijon sauce and sautéed sliced mushrooms over seasoned rice; doesn't that sound amazing? It WAS delicious, and a generous portion too! Also, the CHICKEN TENDER PLATTER: hand-breaded chicken tenders (made to order). They were perfectly cooked and oh-so-tender. I chose the honey hot; it had a little kick, but the flavor was spot on! The tenders have always been a favorite of mine (at CHEDDAR'S)! Misses: It would have been nice to have small plates for the croissants and the cheese bites, both of which were brought out by other staff. We noticed that when the support staff cleaned tables, they didn't take time to clean the small wireless menu/game device on each table. They all looked filthy and greasy. We didn't want to touch ours (see pics) Overall, we were very pleased! The food was fresh, flavorful, and served hot! We hope this is a sign of our repeat visits, as there are quite a few things on the menu that I would love to have again, such as the ribs, shrimp, pot pie... and their fabulous desserts! Thank you, Alliyah. You are so kind and service-minded; that's a true gift that will serve you well in the role or industry you pursue! See you soon! Please see the included pics.

    At least the tinders were edible.

    Ordered tender and fries for pick-up. The fries were hot but extremely over cooked. They seemed cooked twice. The exterior was hard & crispy little potato inside.. I waited for a replacement & it was a mix of good and hard fries. Don't order fries & save your time and emotions

    I stopped by Cheddar's on a Sunday at 2:30 PM with two others. The atmosphere was welcoming, and our waitress, Helen D., was a literal ray of sunshine--super friendly, helpful, and honestly, way too pretty to be working around queso all day. The Food: First up, let's talk about those honey butter croissants they bring you. O-M-G. These things are little fluffy clouds of perfection. You can tell the butter and bread are top-tier, and the sweet-and-buttery combo will have you plotting ways to sneak extras into your purse. But don't unless you want your purse ruined! For Starters: We got the Trio Sampler: * Chicken tenders: Juicy and flavorful. Solid. * Spinach dip: Absolute fire. I could eat this by the spoonful and still want more. * Queso (added beef): Meh. I wouldn't order it again--especially when those croissants are sitting there calling my name. If I'm spending calories, I'm spending them wisely. Main Courses: * Homemade Pot Pie: This was comfort food at its finest. Flaky crust? Check. Chunks of chicken, peas, and carrots? Double check. Sure, it was a bit soupy, but I like it that way--like a pot pie that doesn't gatekeep gravy. The side salad with blue cheese dressing was tasty too. * Steak (medium rare): Cooked to perfection with a nice crust and great seasoning. The baked potato was classic and delicious. But those queso bacon fries? Hard pass. Just skip them and get another croissant (do you see the theme here?). * Kids Penne Alfredo: My 6-year-old absolutely demolished it. If it passes the picky-eater test, you know it's legit. Overall, it's a great spot for a casual meal. Pro tip: Forget the queso and focus on croissants and spinach dip. Oh, and ask for Helen D.--she'll take great care of you while you decide how much butter is too much butter. (Spoiler: There's no such thing.)

    Spinach dip

    Good food ,service, and decor. Had lunch today and everything was prepared well. The honey buttered croissant started off the meal . Best chicken pot pie in Dallas ! Ceasar salad was a good addition. Southwest Spinach Dip with chips as an appetizer too. The payment at the table was the easiest I've ever used. Add Cheddars to your dining list for lunch and dinner. Menu options numerous for multiple guests.

    6 oz. Fire Grilled Sirloin

    Cheddar's has been a tradition for my friends and me since high school. Our experiences have always been great with food, service, and ambiance; this location was no different. We came 45 mins before closing, but the server was super friendly and treated us like regular customers. We quickly ordered our food so the kitchen can make it in the time since it closes at 9:30. Our server brought out a couple of croissants for our table since the first round is on them, and I really appreciate it. It was my friend's first time at Cheddar's and he was VERY IMPRESSED. The food took a bit longer than usual (20 mins?), but everything looks good and delicious. My 6oz sirloin was smaller than I expected, but it was cooked perfectly at medium rare. The portions are so big that I remember to the point that my friend had to take home leftovers for the first time! I also got a strawberry lemonade with free refills, and the server brought it out quickly while cleaning up the restaurant. Overall, I love Cheddar's and I'm glad this location is also the same as our usual one back in Kansas. Prices have increased over the years, but they are not expensive as other restaurants or some fast food places. My favorites are the honey butter croissants, vegetable plate, chicken alfredo, sirloin + chicken tenders combo, and so many more! You can't go wrong with any dishes here honestly!

    Came here with about 10 people and the service was great. There wasn't a long wait for food and the waitress was attentive. We were able to pay using their machine and they easily split up the checks. I had the chicken strip meal and it was a large portion so I was able to take half of it with me to go. The food was really good. I enjoyed the Caesar salad.

    8/14/23: Party of five sat at a booth by the bar. Carol was a great hostess. She was attentive and friendly. She was already taking care of a party of 10 at the bar, along with other guest sitting in the bar area. The drinks were good, and the food was great. Our food order didn't take too long, and it was made when ordered. The croissants were great. We had a great time thanks to Carol!

    If I could give zero stars I would. We ordered curbside pickup and the food was very mediocre. But for dessert we ordered the cookie monster dessert. I clearly stated in my order NO PEANUTS. It was clearly on the sticker of the container and it was on the receipt. Why were there still peanuts on the ice cream!!!! My child has a peanut allergy that will send him into anaphylaxis shock which can kill him if not taken to the ER fast enough. If my son would have started eating it without me checking it first because i just "trusted" cheddars to actually read the order request and actually do their job, my son would have been in the ER that night. I have requested a call back from Cheddars but let's see if that will even happen. We will not be going there anymore, at all or ever!!! Their lack of care and oversight will get them a lawsuit if they continue down this path. So very irresponsible!

    I just love their food. Try the broccoli cheddar casserole and their honey drizzle croissants. I get those every single time I order.

    Chicken-fried brisket is the star of the show here, and it's every bit as legendary as the hype…read moresuggests. I went specifically for their signature dish (the one they proudly call themselves the "Home of the Chicken Fried Brisket"), and it delivered exactly what everyone raves about. They take a thick, oak-smoked brisket slice--already juicy, tender, and loaded with smoky flavor and perfect bark--then coat it in a craft-beer batter and fry it up. The crust comes out shatter-crisp and golden, never greasy or soggy, while the brisket inside stays beefy and moist. That peppery burnt-end gravy poured over the top is rich, savory, and ties everything together beautifully with a scoop of skin-on mashed potatoes on the side. It's pure Texas comfort food genius--smoky BBQ meets Southern fried steak in the best possible way. I'd order it again in a heartbeat (it's a Tuesday special or weekend brunch treat, so plan accordingly). The rest of the BBQ holds up just as strong. Their regular brisket (flat and point) is consistently juicy, tender, and smoky with that killer bark everyone mentions. Sides and other meats are solid too--no weak links. The house beers are fantastic and pair perfectly with the rich, smoky food (the rustic, woodsy vibe in the historic downtown Garland spot makes it even better for lingering over a pint). Service is friendly and the whole place just feels welcoming. If you're in Garland or nearby and love bold Texas BBQ with a creative twist, Intrinsic is a must. The chicken-fried brisket alone is worth the trip--don't sleep on it! Highly recommend for anyone who wants great smoked meats, great beer, and something uniquely delicious

    This place was great. You walk in and head to the back for the food. They have the full spread you…read morewould expect from a craft bbq place. We ordered a half pound of fatty brisket and a side of Mac and cheese. The brisket was well seasoned and perfectly cooked. It had a nice smoke but it was pretty mild for my taste. I liked the bbq sauce in the packets. I took some home for some bbq beans. The Mac and cheese was pretty good. It was thick and well seasoned. Really good for a cafeteria style serving. I like this place. I could see it in my rotation for bbq locally.
