I came here with some friends after climbing at Crowders on Mothers Day. We arrived around 8pm but there was actually still a 15min wait- we forgot about the holiday. We were seated as a party of 5 at a long booth and ordered some flavored lemonades (strawberry and raspberry) and water. For appetizer, we got the onion rings. Our waitress was nice and friendly, seemed a little overwhelmed but I can imagine it was a long and busy day. For entrees we ordered a variety of pot pies, spasagna (spaghetti+lasagna), and chicken tenders. We had a long day out in the heat and were all very hungry so our meals hit the spot. The portions were hearty so some of us did have leftovers. Pricewise this place is hard to beat- cocktails under $10, entrees under $20 and they deliver on flavor. A few of the friends had never been here before and were pleasantly surprised, one of them thought it would be like TGIF and I explains that it was a little nicer in decor/ambience and service. There is a decent outdoor patio area with plenty of seating and ample parking available. @azfitfoodfun read more

I will never again even try to eat at this restaurant. Got there around 5:00 and there was a decent crowd already. The hostess told us our wait for be 10-15 minutes for a party of 2. I noticed immediately half the tables were empty -- obviously understaffed. We waited 40 minutes to be seated, and we were sat at a table in the middle of the floor. Noticing all the empty booths around, we VERY KINDLY asked the same hostess if we could move to a booth instead and her response was literally "Those booths are in another waiter's section, you're welcome to get back in line for another table." Mind you, the booth we asked about was not even 10 feet away from our current table and the entire section was empty. I'm not unreasonable -- I understand that waiter/waitress sections are designed to make the restaurant run smoothly. But this was just ridiculous, especially after the wait time was nearly quadrupled. I noticed all the other tables around us didn't have food on them yet, and some had been there since before we even walked in the door. We left immediately after the smart mouth comment from the hostess. I won't be coming back. read more

Recently I met friends here for a late lunch & we were seated right away. Our server was so personable & efficient. She brought us Honey Butter Croissants while we browsed the menu & she kept our drinks full throughout lunch. One thing I love about Cheddar's is the portion of food for the price - I think it's a great deal! I ordered the Lemon Pepper Chicken on a bed of rice with Southern Green Beans that melt in your mouth & a side Caesar Salad for a small up charge. I had a whole chicken breast & rice leftover for the next day. My friends ordered different Salmon dishes & they ate everything. The menu is a good variety & there's plenty of seating for couples up to larger groups. read more

My husband and I liked going to eat at cheddars.He liked the country fried steak and we also tried different entrees.cmlm

VERY CONCERNED!!!!! I witnessed a Caucasian, ginger beard, about 5'8 man (who works at the location) come up behind the hostess and purposely cause her to back in too him when she went to seat us. I thought it was just me, but my boyfriend said the same thing "That's weird". He could have easily put his hands out to avoid her, but instead he grabbed her waste. The weird part was that he ran up to the hostess stand to make her bump into him!!! I hope this is investigated! read more

Everything from wait time, food, service and prices was spot on. We've been several times and will definitely be back soon. Highly recommend. read more

Great food, attentive server, nice atmosphere for a relaxing lunch. I haven't been here in years, am glad to have another option for lunch with the girls! read more

We visited there and the wait was like an hour. We had a very large group, though. Yet, once we were seated, everything went smoothly. Food was delicious. Drinks and teas were to everyone's liking. They were friendly and very apologetic for the wait. We will visit again. read more

Great service. Very accommodating and good food. Clean restaursnt and bathrooms Definitely recommend!

Really good service. Waitress was constantly refilling glasses and bent over backwards bring us the croissant rolls. Chicken fried steak and gravy had a weird taste to them. So I'll stay away next time. read more

Large restaurant that serves approximately 80 people. Cozy environment, laid back. Our server promptly took our order and the turnaround rime was relatively quick. I had a half rack of ribs that I couldn't finish due to the portion size. Oh well, I have a midnight snack! read more

First I went to place a to go order. 5:00 pm. I finally got my order placed around 5:30. Was told to wait at bar. Not for the bartender he said someone else would take my order Waiting for that 30 minutes. Ordered chicken pot pie - which I love. Paid my bill $12.36. When I got home to eat. That was the worse pie I ever had. Carrots were not fully cooked. Crust was not really good It was very disappointing to say the least. It will be awhile before I return. read more

Totally unexpected experience. What a beautiful building and friendly staff. The food tased excellent but had a few issues. (Medium burger was well done and lettuce was wilted). Father's Day today and we had a beautiful time. The day was tainted by poor maintenance of the facility. Our booth was sticky, the table was sticky, the floor was wet from humidity and smelled like it was cleaned with old bleach. We waited outside for our table where I had to clean my arms from the dirt on the walls and the cigarette disposal was so neglected it was stopped up with ash. Sad that such an excellent experience could be overshadowed by neglecting your building. Friday.... Our server. Was amazing. She single handedly saved our impression of the restaurant. She was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. read more

I thoroughly enjoyed trying this restaurant out. It was my first time here and the food was very good. I ordered the New Orleans pasta and it did not disappoint. It was perfectly spiced, perfectly seasoned. All I asked for was some extra Alfredo sauce and that set it off! Also, the butter croissant top tier! I will go there again when I'm back in the area. read more

It wasn't too busy on a Monday. I enjoyed a Tito's & Cranberry as well as their chips & queso, honey buttered croissants, and ribeye. All of my food was delicious including the cheesy broccoli casserole and bacon cheese fries. Our waitress was very friendly and checked on us often. I can't wait to go back for more of the honey butter croissants. read more

I've been a fan of Cheddars since I lived in Texas. Its been many years since I've been to one and I was not disappointed with my visit to this location. Unlike many restaurants this one seems to have a full staff, so even though they were full i got a seat right away and the food didn't take long to come out. The food tasted as good as I remembered and I will make sure it doesn't take years for me to come back again read more

The best thing about this place is the free croissant and the wait staff. They're both great. Everything else is absolutely awful. Baked potato isn't cooked all the way, steak is dry enough to be a hockey puck, carrots are obviously dethawed store bought carrots, chicken is dry as hell, and it ain't worth the money. I know Gaston county is limited on good chain restaurants, but this is pathetic. read more

Not bad but could have been a lot better. We drove over to Gastonia to give Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen a try. We had dined there a number of years and it was pretty good but not great. Church let out at 10:30 and it was around 11:10 am when we got there which was OK since they do not open till 11:00 am. Hostess checked us in and we were escorted to our booth which was on the far side of the restaurant. My wife likes football and the two big screens on both ends of the room were on football pregame programing. We were half way between both of them. My wife asked if we could be moved closer to one or the other of them and were informed that they could not do that since we had already had our seats assigned and they could not move us. During the course of our stay, there was at least four unoccupied booths behind where I was setting and only one ever was occupied. Behind my wife, extending into the next room, there were probably six and of those, only one was occupied. For lunch, I ordered the Country Fried Steak with White Gravy, Broccoli Cheddar side with a Side Salad to start with Balsamic Dressing. My wife ordered the Chicken Dijon with Green Beans and a Cup of Soup. In both cases, the Soup and the Salads came out fairly quickly less than a minute, our entrees showed up just after we had started on our Soup and in my case, Salad. You would think that getting your order than quick would mean nice and hot but my wife had to send her's back with a request to microwave it because it was tepid at best. She enjoyed the Soup and the Salad was not bad although heavy on lettuce with only one cherry tomato cut in half and little else. The Chicken Dijon was as I pointed out, had to be reheated and while portion size was large enough to warrant a too go box, it was not one of my wife's favorites, she took it home and had second thoughts and discarded what was left over. Initial impression of the Country Fried Steak is that this is enormous but as I started eating, I realized that it was presented on a slice of Texas Toast that in presentation, made it look thicker than it actually was. It was not hot but warmer than my wife's entrée so I ate it. Not bad but the cut of meat was not very tender. The Texas Toast was good but would have preferred it on the side. Based on the temperature of the entrees when they were presented, I question rather everything is really from Scratch or does that mean it's prepared from Scratch ahead of time and reheated when the customer orders the item. Food was OK at best but apparently not willing to accommodate a customers seating request in a restaurant that at the time was only about 20% occupied indicates a certain disdain for the customers. read more

Delicious!! The ambiance and design of the restaurant is really nice and up to date! Service was fantastic and super fast! The honey butter croissants were divine!

Whenever we venture out we like to try something new. This place lives up to its name. Being such a hot day, I wanted something refreshing. That's it, lemonade will hit the spot and why not add fresh strawberries. Hubby got a diet Dr. Pepper, which is a rare find in a restaurant. We also ordered Spinach dip, which comes with a bonus fresh made salsa. We decided to take the salsa home and devoured the spinach dip. For our main dishes, we ordered Lemon pepper chicken, loaded bake potato sans sour cream and sweet baby carrots. Hubby got the Caesar salad with blackened salmon. Everything was delicious. However, the rice served under my chicken was hard so that was the only thing I left on my plate. Also, we felt that the salmon was not truly blackened but delicious nonetheless. Justin provided superb service! The food was tasty, portions were perfect and the prices were even better. We will definitely will return! Kudos read more

Everything was very good. The three of us enjoyed our dinners and our server, Brooklyn, was excellent. We live in Gastonia, and while we don't eat out a lot, will definitely be returning. I also thought the meal and drinks were a good value. read more

I was so excited to try cheddars but so disappointed We had two appetizers they were horrible cheddar cheese curds and dip.

My God that was some big portions! I was a little disappointed in the macaroni and cheese. There were more bread crumbs than noodles. The corn was just right. It took forever for us to be seated but it was okay. My sister's Baja chicken had an uncomfortable amount of beans. Lets just say the chicken was overpowered by beans and the minimum amount of rice. My brother loved the bourbon glazed salmon though. read more

Worst food I've had in a long time. Went in didn't have what I wanted so ordered the shrimp alfado. Shrimp was over cooked and the pasta sauce had absolutely no flavor. The only thing worth eating was my wife's desert. Manager should be fired read more

This is my second time here, and the service was much slower. It took FOREVER for our orders to arrive at the table, and the lady who served it to us talked just as slow. I had the Fish Tacos ($8.19). There are two options for the cook, grilled or fried. The 2 flour tortillas also included roasted corn slaw and Cajun tartar sauce. It comes with french fries, which may be substituted for any other side. I requested my fish to be grilled, and it was so light and delicious! The slaw and sauce were mildly spicy, just how I like it. They were very skimpy on the fries though. The fish was definitely the star of the dish, but it was not worth waiting so long. read more

Was really impressed when I walked through the doors. I was memorized by the cool ceiling fan over the main seating area and the cool fish tank in the wall between dining room and bar area. We were told to choose our own booth in bar area and were immediately greeted by the waitress. we ordered a couple of specialty margaritas, took a bit longer than would have liked but they were good. I got the Beer Battered Fish Tacos, served on tortilla with corn roasted slaw and a Cajun tartar sauce. Never had fish taco deep fried before, but this was incredibly good. French fries were hand cut, fresh and nicely seasoned. The Beer battered shrimp were lightly battered but a good bold taste to it. But the hit of the table was the Sweet Heat Chicken and Shrimp. A fantastic sweet chilli sauce glaze. The bar side has a TV over the bar and a couple others in the corners that had different games on. read more

I've never been to a Cheddar's but I've always heard about it so it was exciting to finally get to try it out. This location was beautiful! I love the fish tank inside and all the details inside including the fans and walls. It was a very casual/fine dining atmosphere. My waitress suggested the croissants as an appetizer and I'm glad I got them because they were the best I've ever had! I ordered the tilapia/shrimp with mango salsa, green beans, and a baked potato. Everything was seasoned perfectly. My server wanted to give me a cookie for it being my first time dining in but she couldn't find any so she gave me a croissant to go which was very nice! The restaurant was very busy on a Wednesday. I definitely will be dining in again! read more
