If you like frozen food, warmed in a box, then the quality of food will not be startling. New management has this location transforming from "scratch" kitchen to "frozen" kitchen. Such a disappointment.. read more

The food quality was great, but our waiter was the least friendly waiter I have ever had. He made awkward jokes and was mad with our table. The manager apologized and promised to coach the waiter and saved our dining experience. I will go here again and highly recommend it to others, but how our waiter got a job here is beyond me..! read more

I love this place they have amazing food and on the rare occasion something isn't perfect they fix it and that's the end of it. Great atmosphere service and people. We come here every chance we get!!! Chris storey the managing partner of the Lincoln location has a great team and I hope he never leaves!!! read more

I loved cheddars this is a go to place when me and my friends go out to eat! Service is good especially with his busy this place is!! Have never had a bad waiter. The food is good I am however disappointed at their menu change. I loved their pot roast and grown up grilled cheese which is no longer available and it was popular per wait staff. Overall great value for the amount of food you get! And great drinks! read more

Great service and made from scratch food!! Always great!! Managers are pretty awesome too :)

The food is ALWAYS great, as are the portion sizes! Our server Jane was wonderful! Very genuine, and she went above and beyond to accommodate our request for a favorite appetizer that had changed. Kudos Jane! Keep up the hard work :) read more

Very nice building, good service, food is super cheap. It is a good value, except for the Club Sandwich. It is unusually small, it is basically half a Club, so that was kind of a rip off, but it tasted good. read more

The food here is very good (this has been a recent turn around) - the service / people are NOT polite, pleasant, or even professional. I have worked in the restaurant business for 20+ years and have CONSTANTLY encountered rudeness from the employees here. In particular, the bartender is especially rude (on this particular night). I am a very pleasant person myself and understand the concept of the 'customer is always right' - however, this is not upheld or even expected from these employees. I would be HIGHLY embarrassed if I was the manager, general manager, owner, etc. of this particular location. Despite having great food, we will NOT be back. Ever. I would like to hear other experiences from this location, as I am greatly appalled from the behavior of the servers, bartender(s) and hostesses. read more

Was there yesterday and the service was terrible. Food ok. It took forever to get our food. we had to stop the server to see what was going on. He came back and said they never prepared our order. We both had Caesar salad and a bowl of soup. My potato soup was good but only luke warm. Her Chicken tortilla soup had nothing but broth and a few veggies and tortilla strips, no chicken. Server did get another bowl for her which was better. Took forever to get drink refills. We were served after 3-4 tables that came in after us were served. The place was freezing. I did ask a manager to please turn the heat up. I dislike eating with my coat on and believe me there were plenty of other people I observed with their coats on. Probably not go back anytime soon. read more

Loved the shrimp and chicken with rice and garden salad - ate every bite. Also have to have the honeyed croissants. Absolutely heavenly - next time I'll order more to go. Great service and sent me off with a tea refill to go which warmed my heart. Really great place to eat. read more

We decided to try Cheddars in Lincoln. Great place to eat. If you don't want to wait sit at the bar. We had great conversations with the other customers, got to see what everyone else was eating, and got to watch the bartenders make all their drinks. The prices are very reasonable and you get a lot of food for your money. My husband had the Salmon- lunch size portion. it was more than he could eat. I took half of my dijon chicken & mushrooms home for lunch the next day. We can't wait to go back. read more

Visited twice now - now I'm sure the service needs help! Both times the food was okay, once it finally arrived at the table. The latest trip we had placed a drink order and our server returned to ask if we were ready for our check. He then realized we had not received our food. Half of our drink order was filled twice. After two attempts I don't think I'll be taking my meal business here any longer. Side note: baby changing station in men's restroom seemed like an afterthought as it blocks one of only two stalls and has no lighting above so you can see your child. read more

Food is not very good. We tried several things and most were "ugh". The hamburger meat for the hamburgers wasn't even seasoned - very bland. We now only go there for a dinner salad and croissants - their honey glazed croissants are very good and fresh baked tasting. At first we liked the onion rings too, but now we find them to be way too oily (on the last order the oil just dripped off the onion rings). The ribs were not worth the money either. Nothing special. read more

The food was good. Nothing spectacular. The artichoke dip was a table favorite. The service, however, was not satisfactory. The onion rings are hand battered and made to order making the cooking process a bit longer. The server failed to tell us this. Though we ordered our appetizers several minutes before our entrees, the entrees came out first followed shortly by the appetizers. At that point we didn't want the appetizers but took them anyway. My father-in-law's burger was cold. When he told the server, the server said he was sorry then quickly asked us if we wanted dessert. The lack of concern for he cold food was upsetting. Throughout the meal, our empty glasses and plates were ignored. read more

Worst food I've had in Lincoln so far. My shrimp was rubbery and tasted frozen. My rice and beans were pure mush, and my fries were VERY salty and burnt. My husband had the burger and he said it was terrible. We are not returning to cheddar's. They don't even deserve the capital c.... spend a few dollars more and go some place else. read more

Went in on the Friday after Thanksgiving at 6:00, seated right away at a booth in the bar. All staff was very friendly and very attentive. Not a large menu, which isn't a bad thing but nothing really popped to me. The wife and I shared the onion rings as an appetizer. They were awesome, plenty for the two of us. I had the fried shrimp, average, nothing special. The wife had the chicken strips, once again, average, nothing special. One thing that did catch my eye was "Scratch and Homemade". This isn't a big deal for me but if you are going to advertise it do it. I'm pretty sure, not definitely, but don't think anything I had was home made, except for the onion rings. Once not a big deal. The fries, the easiest thing to home make, weren't cut in the kitchen, I would bet on it. Would I go back.......... read more

Decent service, however their food quality reflects with the prices. Huge meals for very cheap. Chef a little heavy on the salt

Cheddars food has declined since changing the menu. Drinks are huge and pricey. The new Orleans pasta wasn't very good. The wait staff was however very courteous and polite. Overall experience 1 to 10 (best) Food 2 Drinks 4 Staff 10 read more

When you want to eat somewhere good, go where the locals go. Turns out, this is my brother's friends' default place to eat. According to them, all the food is great (especially the deep-fried sandwich that'll kill any diet), reasonably-priced and the service is decent. From my two visits, they weren't wrong. Everything was clean, the large windows let lots of light in, the place was always busy and if you don't count the girl training at the hostess stand, everyone was friendly, too. I think she was overwhelmed though. More distracted and unsure of herself than rude. I had the fried shrimp and the chicken fingers and I soooooo wished there was more! Don't get me wrong, the portions are large, but it was so good! I wanted it morning noon and night, I just couldn't afford it 'cuz I'm broke. ;) Eat here! read more

Cheddars is a great place to take a hot date and not break the bank. It has a very nice atmosphere and the menu has a wide variety from chicken fingers and burgers to nicer food. For vegetarians your only option is the side sampler which is good, but I don't roll that way and enjoy my meat. read more

Our 1st time there we had received a gift card from friends. We were seated right away I thought it was romantic atmosphere I ordered the grilled chicken pecan salad with the crescent roll and it was all delicious my man got the lasagna/spaghetti dish he wasn't a fan of all the cheese and wish there was more meat sauce. Our waitress was great. I was surprised when we left we walked by several employees and not one said anything I guess I'm use to outback and Texas Roadhouse they are friendly. read more

On a menu this big (and fairly cheap) you have to know what's good and what stinks or otherwise you're in for a long service wait and ordinary food. Cheddar's does the honey butter croissants well. Order some of those. Maybe 2 orders. You'll get them fast. You'll eat them fast. The onion rings are decent. Light, flaky, easy to eat. The chicken and waffles entree is stupendously fattening, but, again, Cheddar's resolves to do it well. The burgers are fair. The chicken strips are as they would be anywhere, including your own kitchen. Why you'd order ribs or a steak is something you'd have to ask someone who did that. The broccoli cheese casserole is arguably the best side item so ditch the fries and go with two helpings of that. Like many restaurants these days, Cheddar's likes to fancy up salads with fruit and twigs without paying a whole a lot of attention to whether it really works. If I want pears, almonds and parm cheese, I'll just collect those things on a plate, rather than toss them with lettuce. I guess you'd call the joint middlebrow, you know? Trendy but cheap. Lots of people are offended by it, I guess, but I wasn't. Stick the formula: Croissants; onion rings; and broccoli cheese casserole, and you're cooking with gas. The service was average. A little too eager a couple different times. It's Lincoln, so expect a college student. I didn't hit the bathroom on my trips there. read more

This is one of the worse experances that I have had in a long time waited for over 30 minutes to get a table, waited another 15 to order waited another 30 to have wrong salads brought out. after and hour and a half walked out the door with food to go because of time constraints and to go was wrong. short a couple of meals. If you want to go to a place that is under poor management and can't get simple meals right this is the place to go to. I've had better service in 3rd world countries than this place. There wasn't even a explanation other than the general manager was fired and we don't know what to do. I even think one star is to much. read more

First time there. Had the cheese burger; nothing special but good. Red Beans and Rice, Onion Rings and Long Island Ice Tea were yummy.

This is the worst place I have ever eaten at in Lincoln! It started off fine we were seated right away. The waitress took our order and our food was out relatively quick but both of our orders were wrong. My gf ordered the salmon and they brought out tilapia and when we said this to the waitress she said well that's what the ticket said. Finally our waitress said she would talk to her manager and see what they could do. She apologized and eventually brought out the salmon and said they took her meal off the ticket. I ordered chicken fingers with a side of ranch and they brought honey mustard, I had to ask 3 times to finally get ranch. They never refilled our waters and the place wasn't even very busy. Once we finally got the check there was no discount on it what so ever! They ran the ticket with an order of salmon, chicken fingers, and the tilapia. How dumb can you be? Ordered 3 meals for just 2 ppl. They finally took off the tilapia and we just wanted to leave. Very dissatisfied I left a very slim tip. And when i check my credit card statement today the waitress added an extra tip more than I authorized! I will never be returning to this terrible restaurant!!!!!! read more

My favorite place in town! Awesome prices, great service, large portions. The Catfish is awesome!

We are regulars at Cheddars in Pooler, Ga, so we had to try this new one and see if they're up to the test. Went in at 12:45. My wife ordered salad with ranch on the side because she's not a fan of a lot of ranch. It came out with ranch all over it. I had her send that back right away. It didn't come out with the croissant either and said she would bring it out right away. We did receive our food right at 10 min, for how busy it was, which I thought was great service. My broccoli was suppose to be steamed and soft. I would say it was partially steamed and not fully done. I didn't complain, just ate it. Then my wife's plane jane cheeseburger that she ordered came out all decked out with bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, and mustard. She didn't want to bother them but it kind of irked me. I told the waitress and she said "they probably grabbed the wrong one" (because a different waitress brought our food out).And at that time, I also asked for my croissant because she forgot about it already. So then my wife had to wait another 10 minutes for her plane jane cheeseburger. She ate half of it because the middle was just about raw. We didn't mention that either because we were done complaining and it won't go no where. We got our bill and that seemed like another 10-15 minutes for her to bring the bill back for us to sign. The food is good and has great potential, but still needs a lot of work. Hopefully management reads YELP. read more

Wow the wife and I decided to try the New Chedders in Lincoln last night. All I can say is WOW. It was busy but they had the call boxes and it only took about 20 to 30 minutes to get in. Looking at the menu it is full of great items, but most important resonable prices. I really can not say more about the prices other than for the amount of food it will be hard to beat. The onion Ring stack for $3.99 Was impressive. My wife and I had a appitizer, 2 main dishes, rolls, upgrade on a side dish to soup-(cost.99cents), 2 rasberry teas, and best of all 2 of the .99 desert shot glasses. All for $39 and some change (Before Tip). So Again very resonable in this economy. I think Chedders will do very good here and it will be crowded for some time. Top notch service was had as well, They were always checking on us to make sure we had a good time and if we needed anything. At one point I thought it got a little too much. Although I would rather them check on us, instead of wanting something and no one checks on us. ........Well what are you waiting for go now and get yourself some! read more

My wife and I love Cheddar's! The food is always great consistently. The cornmeal whitefish and baby back ribs are the best we have ever eaten. Cheddar's is one of our favorite places to go. The atmosphere is good and not as noisy as some other places. read more

Usually go to the one in Omaha but had lunch at this one yesterday. I think Cheddars has very good food at a reasonable price. They have a well rounded menu that should appeal to most everyone. I would give 5 stars but we were not all that happy with our waitress. For some reason we were seated in the bar. It did not appear that she had many tables but service was not very good. I usually am a great tipper but just could not do so with her. read more

My fiance and I ate there last night for the first time on my birthday. We always look forward to try out a new restaurant in Lincoln. The parking lot was full and we anticipated a wait, but we were seated immediately by a less than hospitable waitress. The waiter was young and inexperienced, but enthusiastic. The food was hit or miss, large portions, and overall greasy. The drinks were inexpensive, but contained little alcohol. The tortilla soup was so salty I could not finish it. The restaurant was loud and not much to speak of. And to top it off we both have had upset stomachs since returning home. Coincidence? Perhaps... read more

One of the worst things I've ever tasted. Impressed at how bad both the food and drinks were. How do you mess up a Bloody Mary?

What a great place! The atmosphere was nice, much different than we expected. I have the spazagne (I may be spelling that wrong) which was interesting to try. Overall really happy with our meal, but the sweetest thing was when the manager brought out cookies since it was our first time. We were just passing through town but if you're looking for a good meal I think you'll be happy with Cheddar's! read more

I have never really had good experiences here. The food is subpar from what you would expect. The service was terrible with them taking a long time to take the groups orders and the waitress was very passive aggressive. I did not have a great time at all and will not be returning anytime soon. read more

Pricey, but the food was superb. The Monte Cristo (I believe that's what it's called) was a fantastic sandwich. Waiter was polite and incredibly well verse in the menu, even offering suggestions of which side would best serve the meal. I'll be sure to make it a priority to stop here next time I'm in Lincoln. read more

Cheddars is nothing special and you can get the same kind of food at any restaurant in town. What was so disappointing was the horrible wait service and their unwillingness to accommodate large parties ( we had 11). We were told we would have a 30-40 min wait, that turned into an hour, and we were seated in three different booths. Then we waited another 45 min for food. When it came time to pay, one of the booths had to pay separately because they were in another servers section and they couldn't figure out how to put the tabs together. All in all, hostesses and waitstaff stupid and unwilling to think and figure things out. Food definitely not good enough to go back. Lazlos or Fireworks will get our large group when we meet again. read more

Mashed potatoes and broccoli cheese and rice were not good. They had a funky taste to them. Took left over's home. Garbage can sounds like a good place for them. read more

i broke down, its right down the street from our house. my son wanted to go for his birthday so we did it. It was a monday night and a little late in evening. for a chain the food was decent. his chicken was actually great and very generous. The rest was very average and I think if you could go when not super busy, which for some reason it always is, its ok. so many local fresh food choices in town i dont understand why this places is so busy but for a chain its ok. read more

Good beer list, tilapia, shepherds pie, taco soup. Relatively quiet, good service, good beer list. Quite decent for the casual dining category. Warning - enormous servings. read more

This place was great food for an awesome price. Good service, fast and prompt. The portions are awesome for the price. I got the grilled shrimp and chicken fingers with baked potato and corn, and my GF got the half rack of ribs, mac and cheese and corn. Each meal was only $10.49. What a deal! Tons of grub. We will definitely be coming back read more
