I ordered takeout yesterday (6/29) - kids chicken and rice with mashed potatoes and a chicken Cesar pasta salad. The kids meal and complimentary croissants were good, but the penne noodles and Parmesan cheese on the salad tasted as if they had been stored in dish ware that was never properly washed. The lettuce and chicken appeared okay, but with the Parmesan and noodles covering the salad, the whole plate became engrossed with that putrid dirty dish smell. I did not have time to return to the restaurant for a refund due to my schedule, so it was a nearly $15 loss. read more

Came in on a Friday night for dinner with a group of six and had an overall average experience. Pros - Quantity- Overall the amount of food wasn't bad for what was ordered. (I wanted simple and got the chicken tenders, which theyvare known for) - Staff- Staff was friendly enough, when they checked on us - Clean- While it was a busy Friday night, it was fairly clean and the restroom was as well, so that's a win. Cons Staff- While they were friendly (pro), they were very slow and seemed overwhelmed. It took about 15 minutes to get our waters after ordering and about 45 minutes for our food) Overall, not bad, could have been worse, but could have been a little quicker. Pro tip- If you get the tenders, the hot honey dipping sauce is great! read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Chicken tejders and fries - Comfort Food Near Me - Lafayette, Indiana

Our experience started off poorly, when hostess asked us if we wanted to sit in bar. We did. And got ignored by 3 employees. We quickly left and went back to hostess- she acknowledged us, but took a woman who just came in door first. A waitress sat us down- which we were thankful for. We ordered, they did arrange for a free dessert. My husband food was good. I ordered the key west chicken and shrimp. I got 2 shrimp and rest were just shells. ( I have had this dish before and it's usually comes with 5 shrimp) Very disappointing in that ! I think with all the competition in restaurants in Lafayette. Cheddars could have done better read more

We had a late-night snack at Cheddars. The restaurant is clean, bright, and the food is well prepared. Even though it was late (9:30) the staff was very helpful and welcome. Josiah was our waiter and he was very accommodating. We will return. read more

We had a great time and a delicious meal with excellent service! Smokehouse burger was yummy.

The food was good, with my favorite being the chips and salsa. The meal started off with the croissant, which was a bit cold but still had flavor. The chips could've been warmed up, however the queso made up for it. The salsa was a bit sweet for my liking but it wasn't bad. My girlfriend got the chicken pot pie and the bake potato soup, and they were both pretty good. For my entree I got the lemon pepper chicken which was a smidge dry. The corn was good but the broccoli was a little bland, and you could see the freeze dried garlic pieces on the broccoli. The service was good, nothing to write home about though. Cheddar's always has a good atmosphere, however the little ipad on our table didn't work, so paying was a bit of a hassle, but not a huge deal. Overall not a bad experience and would go again. Not too expensive either at $50 with tip for coke products, croissants, appetizer, and two entrees. read more

Granted we went on Easter however there were several tables in the bar where we chose to sit. None of them had been cleared from the previous customers. We sat there for 15 minutes and not one server came over to clear the table or waited on us. Both servers were standing at the bar talking. I'll never go back. There are too many other good places to go to. read more

When it comes to restaurants in town that both my wife and I really like a lot, Cheddars is at or near the very top of the list. There is an extensive menu offering something for everybody, prices are reasonable, and they have a nice patio for outdoor dining, which is a good thing for people who are Covid-cautious and prefer not to eat indoors. My wife tends to get the same thing whenever we eat here: the chicken pot pie, which she says is delicious. My favorite meal is the chicken-fried steak, but I also frequently get, and really enjoy, the chicken tenders and the pork chops. Instead of a preliminary basket of bread or rolls, all meals come with a croissant and honey butter drizzle. We like these so much that we often buy extras to take home (at 2 for $2, the price is right). We did have a bad experience once when we ordered delivery: the food never arrived. (I assume this is the fault of the delivery service rather than the restaurant, and a phone call to the restaurant resulted in the charge being removed. I assume also that this is not a typical thing.) Since then, we have taken to eating there or getting takeout, and have never had any problems. When we eat here, the service has always been prompt and efficient, and when we order takeout, the order is always ready on time and completely accurate. read more

Lauren is my favorite server! I ask to be seated at one of her tables each time we dine at Cheddars. She's polite, kind, so sweet and courteous. Lauren is great at her job! read more

Our server let me order off the kids menu. I got a grilled cheese sandwich with tomato and bacon. It was really good. I also got buffalo beer batter buffalo shrimp which was very good. The whole place is dimly lit and the bathrooms were clean. I'm going to come back for steak and fried shrimp! read more

Average restaurant, food was average, service well in this day and age it was average. Didn't get the compliment sweet rolls because as the waitress told us they were short handed. That's average. Nothing really brag about. read more

Ordered the bacon burger with fries and asked for it to be plain, it came out with tomato, onion, and bbq sauce. I took a bite, realized, and asked my server to take it back and it came back a few minutes later, it had the same bite I took. The people in the back had scraped it and sent it back out. The server was very polite and offered me soup, only reason I'm giving it 2 stars read more

Working in Lafayette this week, and I was looking for some good food that I could take back to my hotel room. Cheddar's has online ordering, and I was able to quickly and easily order food that I could pick up curbside. I appreciate that Cheddar's offers many excellent vegetables and side dishes. I travel for work frequently and I seldom eat fast food. Cheddar's has side dishes on the menu that you can't find at most restaurants. Today the sides I ordered were a baked potato, Southern green beans, and broccoli cheese casserole. The green beans are delicious, they taste just like the old-fashioned green beans my grandma used to make. I love broccoli casserole and it is unusual to find it in restaurants so I always order it when it is on the menu. I also ordered a bowl of baked potato soup, which was served hot, yay! I don't care for lukewarm soup so the hot soup made me happy. Cheddar's has some of the best baked potato soup I have ever had. Tastes like homemade! All the food was carefully packaged, and it was ready right on time. I pulled up to a curbside parking space and it was brought out promptly. read more

This is always a safe go to place. My husband loves their soulps. My Granddaughter loves their chicken wraps. I like gheir generous portions of meatloaf. Service is usually fast and good. The atmosphere is charming. Often a bit to cool though. All of us take sweaters when we pan to est there. read more

Went in for dinner it was great as always. Yummy food cute ,set up ,and family friendly. There's also a bar for adults only . Also, heads up, they give everyone in your party a free honeybutter croissant. I must say they're pretty good . I would rather it be at the end of my meal rather than the start. my favorite thing when we go here is the shrimp and chicken tenders. I got broccoli casserole and green beans for my side dishes. I didn't really enjoy the green beans. They're a little sweet for my taste. My husband got the chicken friend steak with baked potatoe fully loaded and broccoli casserole. he enjoyed it. I can't complain. Our children got chicken Alfredo and friend shrimp with green beans. In my opinion, the kids' shrimp was not much food at all. Other than that, everything was fine. read more

The food was O.K., service was excellent, the music was so loud we had to shout. The music ruined our meal.

We were seated promptly and the waitress was at our table with croissants within 4 minutes. So far so good .had to return the steak ,it was well done which the font like ,but that was as much my fault as the waitresses. It's a typical chain but better than some. My husband's chicken pot pie tasted very "chickeny" All in all it was a good meal. read more

This facility is very large so they can move a lot of dinners quickly - and they do!! Our party of two don't have to wait long for a spot in the bar. The inside of the restaurant is attractive and comfortable. They had plenty of staff which were friendly and helpful. The tile on the bar floor was very slippery on this visit. I'm not certain why since it wasn't raining outside. The floor was uncomfortably slick. It's been a while since I've been to a Cheddars. The menu is significantly smaller. I was surprised at how limiting the menu choices were. For lunch I had the chicken tender salad. I found the salad to be very fresh. The tenders were tasty like the regular tenders. The croissant was a little tough but it was buttery, tasty and sweet. read more

Wow This is our 2nd time visiting this Cheddar's. Both time were just great. Great food! Great service! Great atmosphere! This time it looked like they had some changes to the menu. They had a lunch menu with some good options. We chose: 2 cheeseburgers, and a Cajun Chicken with red beans and rice. Yum yum!!! read more

Yesterday my husband and I came in at about 5:30 or so on a Sunday, there was no wait. Got a table in the bar section to keep a table available for the other side. Our server's name was Brent (I think, or is it Trent? Lol sorry if you were our server and are reading this). He was fantastic! Very quick service. It took me longer to decide what I wanted to order than it took for the food to come out! I was impressed. Impressed with our server, with the kitchen staff, and with the speed of receiving the food from the kitchen. Thanks, Cheddars! And thanks Brent/Trent! The only thing I was personally not a fan of was the flavor of the green beans (normally I love southern green beans) and I was not a fan of the queso. But everything else was amazing. My husband loved his food and he liked the queso. read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Salad, appetizer combo, Vegetable Plate, Country Fried Steak, Honey Butter Croissants - Comfort Food Near Me - Lafayette, Indiana

Cheddar's is a large restaurant and easily fits large parties. During the day, you can easily be seated, but you might want to make a reservation if you're coming in with a large party during the evening. I love their fish tank by the concierge, which looks really beautiful especially at night. The best things I ate was the complimentary croissants, which were light and fluffy, and everything else we ate was nothing to write home about. One thing that totally threw me off was the tablets that were on every table. I was trying to see if the menu was on the tablet and saw there were actually games on there. I thought that's good thinking on Cheddar's part to try and entertain the kids so there can be peace during the meals. So I'm checking out what' games there are to see if they're age appropriate and as I select a game, I see a message pop up saying that I've been charged for the game!! They got me! Curiosity pays! read more

We went here on Friday and it was 3:30 in the afternoon. We saw only 4 couples in the restaurant. They seated us next to another table with 3 people all other tables in that area was empty. We asked if we could sit at one of the 8 tables in the same area, but was told we couldn't. The service was not very good no refills and she never took any dirty dishes away. The restaurant was dirty with food on the floor. Outside the benches were rusty and the paint was peeling off. I will never eat here again and would not recommend it. read more

Service was bad, we had a party of 12 which they made us wait for over 40 minutes to get a table. When they finally took us to be seated they gave us two cramped booths and said that's all they had. Other tables were available. The dishes were dirty literally, food stuck to the bottom of them. Very disappointed, people check your plates before you use them especially if you have children. read more

After a day of over doing, all of us wanted something to eat, so I suggested here since they had Monte Christo sandwiches. Not the kind I normally like but worth a try. My brother decided to get the chicken pot pie (southern Ohio boy always) and his friend wanted the chicken strips. While not fancy, a good variety to see how the food was. When I picked up the food 25 minutes later, everything was there and the system for pick up was smooth. Got to see the huge fish tank in the wall so I almost wished we felt like eating in. My brother and I got the southern style green beans ,made with baconfat. Betty Sue got fries and slaw. We also honey butter croissants with our meal. All of us agree that everything was some of the best we ever had. The pot pie was huge. The Monte Christo was so good it that I wanted to eat it all in one sitting, but at 1440 calories, I saved half for breakfast. The raspberry sauce was perfect with the melted cheese, ham, turkey, and bread deep fried in light batter. It was even just as good microwaved the next morning. So was the honey butter croissant. I even looked up to see if they had a location in Michigan. This is my last trip to Lafayette but if I have to come back, I would have a meal here. I took a star off for the VERY small take out pop and ice tea. read more

Ambiance was wonderful, but everything else was very mediocre. We saw our server maybe 3 or 4 times total during our experience, and we never got refills. When it comes to food, I got the grilled chicken alfredo. I would give this food a 3.5 as the proportion of broccoli to the rest of the dish was huge. There was way too much broccoli in this dish and hardly any alfredo. The quality of food was worth the price, but the proportions were awful. read more

Always a great place to eat. Food is always delicious especially their broccoli cheese casserole.

Fish and shrimp are the bomb. Fast friendly service. They also have a Great Salt water fish display

This was my first time going to Cheddar's and it was a great experience. The inside of the restaurant had a great vibe and felt welcoming. The staff also were great and really helped with the menu and gave great service all around. Between myself and my guest we really enjoyed the food and was pleased to know most of the food cooked here is from scratch (hints the name). I would definitely come back! read more

Tried and true always consistent and good quality. Chicken strips and broccoli cheese casserole are my favorites.

Don't remember the last time I went to a Cheddar's. Stopped in for a quick dinner while in town. They were doing a decent job of distancing and most had on masks. Our server wore hers below her nose. She was professional and friendly. When she greeted our table she apologized for the mess on the floor and later came and cleaned it up. The dining room was quite disheveled for the beginning of a dinner shift. The crescent rolls are great! We had chips and cheese with salsa. The cheese had a bit of a congealed layer on top but was good. I ordered the salmon and broccoli. The fish was prepared well with good seasoning. Broccoli was steamed with a good crunch. Overall pleasant experience just need to do better on housekeeping and cleaning throughout the shift. read more
