    Came in on a Saturday afternoon. We were seated right away, as it was not crowded at all. I love Cheddars for the pricing and proportions that you receive for it, and this was no different. The top sirloin and shrimp hit the spot!

    Arrived with a party of 10 and were told that it would be about 30 minutes wait time, which was great. Once our table was ready, the host walked us in and directed us to two booths, not directly next to each other. I was a bit upset, because we were not told our group would be divided. We wouldn't have agreed to dine in, if that was the case. After going back and forth with the host and another manager/server, not sure who really, we decided to break our group as best between the two booths. Our server, Mitch, was phenomenal. He worked his magic and saved the night and took wonderful care of our now divided group. Food was good, drinks were great, and the service provided by Mitch was phenomenal. Not sure this review would have been a 4 start without Mitch.

    Met up with some friends for lunch here. We arrived right at 11 AM when the location opened. I went with the grilled chicken pecan salad. I really enjoyed the salad, although the candied pecans were pretty hard to bite so I ended up leaving most of them in the salad. Really enjoy the honey Dijon dressing that goes with the salad because it gives it a nice tan and the chicken was cooked perfectly. They have a large parking lot so plenty of space to park and it is a pretty large location so if you have a group, definitely a good location to bring them to

    I wasn't sure what to expect when we went into Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen, the parking was fairly quiet and we had no wait when we went into the restaurant. We were greeted and seated immediately, and it was lunch time so it was fairly quiet in the restaurant. There's a nice cozy atmosphere, with booths, tables, and little alcoves where you can be seated. The decor and the theming are modern but homely. We were very quickly greeted by our server and he asked if we had been here before and gave us a few suggestions as we were both new. Shortly after he brought the house honey butter croissants which I have to say are the best item I've had as a free "bread" option. You get one order of the croissants for free and we definitely asked for some more to go home with at the end!! I've always been a pastry fan and these croissants were fresh and tasty and the honey butter was absolutely incredible. Food came out shortly after, it was hot, the fries were perfectly seasoned and my fish was light and flaky. I'd read a lot of mixed reviews about Cheddar's but they were quickly put to rest, because our experience was nothing short of fantastic. Our server was excellent, very attentive and friendly, I unfortunately didn't catch his name, but he was a tall Latino gentleman with short hair in a Caesar cut. We will definitely be back as the all around experience was amazing and the food was great, and the prices were competitive, especially on the lunch menu!

    Great many options for all tastes. Great service, attentive and friendly. Ambience is loud. Many kids crying unfortunately.

    Dijon Chicken & Mushrooms
    Chris K.

    Kicked off with a WATERMELON TEXAS FROZEN SWIRL and a complimentery HONEY BUTTER CROISSANTS. Followed by DIJON CHICKEN & MUSHROOMS with SOUTHERN GREEN BEANS and a CAESAR SALAD. Sooooo....starting with the cocktail. Shouldn't be a surprise that that it was a little too sweet, but also artificial and a sort of medicine taste to it. The salad was basic and nothing too memorable about it. As for the chicken, the Dijon sauce was the best part. The chicken itself was a little dry and over done. The rice and green beans were under done with both having a little too much crunch!

    Cheddar's Trio Sampler  The spinach dip was crunchy, queso salty and watery. Chicken tenders were great!
    Lauri T.

    The food was good but our Server Drew made the experience better. He was patient and funny. We had a party of 5 and Drew was on it! Everything came out hot and fresh. He explained corporate is making some changes and I know times are hard but some things don't make sense! Like cutting back on napkins. People always ask for extra napkins. We had a dozen of small to go boxes instead of a couple of big boxes. I'm a business owner so that's wasteful! We enjoyed everything appetizer platter. The spinach dip, it was just roughage! Wasn't creamy, no cheese, dry and crunchy! Didn't like the queso either. It was very salty and runny. But other than that everything was good! My family really enjoyed the happy hour drinks they have all day. But their menu is pretty economical, especially in today's economy!

    Grilled Shrimp Alfredo

    There were a lot of people hanging around outside the restaurant when we arrived. I assumed that it would be a long wait due to the crowd. However, we were greeted and seated immediately upon arrival. The atmosphere was dimly lit, yet cozy and romantic. There were TVs around the restaurant with a huge beautiful fish tank being its focal point. Our server was a friendly gentleman, but I forgot his name. We decided to forgo the appetizers and dive right into ordering the entrees. I ordered the 8oz steak with fries and a house salad. We also ordered chicken fingers with fries, and a shrimp and broccoli Alfredo. The food was wonderful! I would definitely recommend this place if you are looking for American comfort food.

    Country Fried Top Sirloin Steak & Chicken Tenders
    Ingard V.

    First time in this location and, another win! Service is casual and friendly, food is glorious, and the painkiller was killing it! I had the country fried steak, and I was a little hesitant due to other locations, making it extremely breaded . But this one was on point. My girlfriend had the chicken tenders and shrimps, and they were perfectly crispy. Yes, the croissants were freshly done and still warm. I didn't give five stars because there was an issue with our dessert . It took half an hour . However, let me be very clear and emphasize that the server kept checking back with us and let us know that they had an issue with the cookie and had to remake it. The manager even came and apologize and offered us something else and yes, the dessert was on the house. It's just that it was an insane amount of time. But that won't keep me from returning and being a loyal cheddars fan.

    Painkiller, loaded potatoe and chicken pot pie
    Luis C.

    Came in for some lunch and had a very filling meal. The painkiller was strong, the loaded baked potato was filling and the chicken pot pie was delicious! Best pot pie I've ever had, ruined Marie Calendars frozen pot pies from Costco for me.

    The food was amazing!!!!!! But it was a little bit of a wait, but the food was worth it. It is a great place to go too and I think you will in joy Cheddar's too!!!!!!

    Caca. Typical tourist food trap. Horrible. People are nice. Not the waiter's fault that the food sucked. Not ever returning.

    Chef Art Smith's Homecomin' is my favorite restaurant at Disney Springs, and it's not even close…read more I've celebrated Father's Day here for the last two years. I've come here for my birthday. I already have plans for a visit when my family gets here in two weeks. Obviously, the food is phenomenal. I usually get Art's Famous Fried Chicken, which they say is Buttermilk-brined for 24 hours then and then flash fried. I have a severe shellfish allergy, and they're always very cautious. No matter who the server or floor manager is. Typically, it's served with creamy mashed potatoes, but I usually swap it out with Momma's Mac and Cheese. I've also had the Smothered Chicken, Bee Haven Fried Green Tomatoes, and the Skilled-fried Chicken Paillard, which is what most of the staff recommends as their favorite dish. And you always have to get a cheddar drop biscuit. That's a non-negotiable. This restaurant is very popular and often gets quite busy, so I recommend to make a reservation as soon as you're ready. But the busyness of the restaurant won't matter once you take a bite. The food is the ambiance and changes everything. Just trust me.

    HUGE portion and very reasonable pricing. I can see why they are popular. You WILL walk out feeling…read morevery full. The service was pretty great as well. They treat you like you're an old time friend even if it's your first time there. The appetizers (deviled egg and hush puppies) were great. The fried chicken, which they're known for, was very disappointing. It was one of the driest fried chicken I've had in a while. The biscuit side was also very mid. Overall, I do recommend trying this place out, but skip their fried chicken (unless you just love chicken).

    The food here is SO good! You can tell it's hand-crafted, all the meat is pulled-to-order and it…read moredefinitely shows! Sides were so good, the collards were exceptional. The service here is top notch. Lindsay was my server and took extra good care of me, and my pup! Jordan and Bri are great as well, they really care about their guests. Having been in the food service industry, I can relate to the job and know what it takes. They all have IT, and Big John's is lucky to have them! The atmosphere was perfect. I prefer outdoor seating, and the outside patio area was as clean as the inside. Makes it really easy to stay a while! ;) Overall, this establishment exemplifies what dining SHOULD be. Keep up the great work guys and ladies, you have a new lifelong customer here, no doubt about it!

    I seriously can't wait to be back at Big John's! Let me tell you 5 reasons why we WILL be back:…read more 1. Our waitress was absolutely the sweetest. Lindsay gets a special shout-out for being kind, caring, and attentive! What a ray of sunshine! She was so excited when she arrived with my dessert (she made a brownie sundae just for me). It was everything you would want in a sweet treat. A perfectly warm brownie and cold vanilla ice cream topped with whipped cream just hits, and they do it right! 2. The. Meats. Were. GREAT. I got the sampler sliders and my boyfriend got the sampler platter. The slider buns were perfect and even toasted a bit which added major bonus points for me. The pulled pork was tender and flavorful. Brisket was peppery and perfect. Ribs were also veryyyy tenderrrrrr. You can tell the food is made with love. All I could do was smile as I ate my lunch, knowing I have an amazing bbq spot so close to me. 3. The corn nuggets were SO GOOD and SO comforting. Crispy, sweet, and perfect. I eyed the menu before going, and these caught my eye immediately. They did not disappoint. I can't wait to have them again! 4. The sauces were FIRE. The sweet and the crimson were perfect to us. 5. Who doesn't like 80s Rock and Roll?! Its one of those places that make you feel at home. The location is perfect, as well. Lakefront is a great place to dily dally while you digest the deliciousness. Rock on, Big John!!

    I guess it's been quite a long time since I talked about this place. I don't get to come here often…read moreenough because I'm just not in the area so much anymore. When I am nearby and I'm hungry though it's worth stopping to have a bite to eat. I took a friend to an appointment nearby and had time to kill so I came for lunch. The place looks almost exactly the same as it did the first time I came here. They are right near a train stop and there is one accessible space outside the building. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, but it is limited. The menu here has changed a little bit over the years, but they still have all the Chicago favorites that I enjoy. I've never had a problem with anything. I have had to eat here and that does keep me coming back. The people that work here are always friendly and they strive to make sure you get a good meal. And this occasion I wanted something a little different so I ordered a polish sausage Chicago style without tomatoes because I can't have them. The bond did fall apart a bit more than I like, but my meal was excellent. They always have very tasty french fries. I have tried several things over the years and feel confident and recommending their entire menu. And of course, if you are looking for a pizza puff, then this is one of the few places you can find them around the Orlando area. If you're looking for a good Chicago style, hot dog or Polish or any hotdog this is the local stop. They use genuine Vienna, beef products, which always brings the taste of home for me. They make an excellent Italian beef sandwich and have really good giardiniera.

    Quite frankly, we decided to dine here based purely on the name of the restaurant…read more We ordered the street polish and The Godfather with spicy peppers, messy dog and jalapeño poppers. The hot dog was tasty and the bun was pillowy soft (way better than store bought!)
