Had the glazed salmon ,loaded mashed potatoes and the broccoli casserole and it was soooo good!!! Can't wait to eat here again. Our waitress was the bomb.com, can't remember her name though.Great first experience. read more

Worst meal ever! Chicken undercooked, burgers so well done they were literally hard to swallow. The saddest part of all was that their famous croissants were over cooked. It will be a very long time before I go back. If ever read more

We love Cheddars. They have such a versatile menu and the portions are huge for the price. The monte Christo sandwich is ridiculous! Make sure you go hungry. read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Comfort Food Near Me - Mcdonough, Georgia

The place is crowded a lot. The customer service is awful, everyone walks around like they prefer not to be there. A waitress saw how we did not receive proper service& came to make it right. Her name was Melanie, she's the best in that place. Ask for her she values her customers the other waitress service will make you not to visit. Melanie is the best!!! read more

Food was TERRIBLE!!!! CUSTOMER SERVICE TERRIBLE!!! The waitress Laronda was TERRIBLE!!!! When she took my order I was been rush, I was asking about a item on the menu she didn't have any knowledge about it. ( "Saying I don't know but alot of people buy") That's not the way to treat your customers... Just TERRIBLE SERVICE!!! read more

Very slow service. Our order was taken. Our drinks and salads were served, and an hour and a half later, still no food. I continued to inquire even before the hour time frame had elapsed, only to be told the "kitchen" was slammed and constant apologies. Finally the manager emerges with a smile and apology and said our order ticket had been lost. He took our name, phone number and email and promised to send a coupon for free food for our troubles right away... that was 4 days ago. No coupon... no future visits! Horrible! read more

I actually normally enjoy coming here with friends and family because the food is great and so are the drinks. But my visit today was horrible. My service was extremely late my server walked by us several times without even acknowledging us. It took us 15 minutes to even get our drinks. And once we asked for a manager, we stopped getting service all together and got ugly stares from what I assume was our waiter friend who is also a waiter there. read more

Good food typical bar and grill food. Nothing diffrent.the salmon grilled with bourbon sauce was awesome cooked to perfection

The service I received was very unacceptable! The server had an attitude with us after they kept messing up our order. The dishes were dirty and not washed properly. I will not be returning. read more

Very disappointed that fish tacos and spagne are off the menu. Corporate website wouldn't take my comments because I didn't know my ticket #. read more

Nothing beats the in-person experience. I have dined at this restaurant several times. Don't know if they are under new management and staff but they have taken a turn for the worst. From the host to the manager to the servers. The server literally was putting friends or people of her liking i front of others in line. The server we had was extremely unprofessional. She gave our appetizer to another table. She checked on our table once and then disappeared. There was no connection or any care to make one. I wouldn't visit this place anymore. They have really taken a step in the wrong direction with staff. read more

Large portions and unhealthy food. Kind of like the nice version of golden corral. Good for a night when comfort food is required.

It was just alright. Our server had a really really dry personality you're out celebrating a birthday and he saw the balloon and goes oh happy birthday now that's all you're going to get. The atmosphere was really good but the food was just so so I don't think it would be a must go back to place but that doesn't mean that I won't never go back read more

My second visit to the McDonough location in 2 weeks. Not by MY choice. Both times, service was a "miss". Both visits when we received our food, no one came to check to make sure things were right. Things weren't right either time and I practically had to scream for the waitress who was buzzing by us in order to get simple compliments. I wish that Cheddars would put more emphasis on customer service. This place needs a LOT of training in that area. I won't be back for awhile. Too bad. The food is actually pretty good. Sad when the service keeps u away. read more

The food and service was simply ok. I wanted to try it because I heard a lot of good comments (contrary to many yelp reviews). It was a party of 6 with orders of spinach dip, salmon, barbecue chicken, grilled chicken, and chicken tenders. The only thing better than ok was broccoli and croissants. read more

Decent food...sometimes. I mostly go because the cocktails are cheap. Last visit I had horrible service. I received the wrong food, but my biggest issue was the waitress and her attitude. read more

How long does it take for someone to ask if you're thirsty and ready to order drinks? Forever. If a friend had not chosen this place for our lunch, I wouldn't have gone. Horrible service. A new person brought every part of our meal out. I've never seen anything like it. "I'll be right back with more water" ended up being at the end of my meal. The food is average. My seat was left soaking wet, and I had to dry it off myself. Cheddars seems much more interested in groups they think will tip and not as interested in couples or trios they think won't tip as much. So much for customer service. This last trip and my so-so salad reminded me why I don't eat there. read more

Cheap! Good bartenders and good food! Location is always busy and the servers and really slow. We had Tk wait almost a hr for drinks then we had to ask for refills. She forgot my sons water after asking 3 times. But she was fast at giving me the bill. Smh not s good experience. I would rather travel to another location before i go to this one! read more

Waited for 2 hours for our food, our waitress forgot about us. My steak was bloody when I asked for medium well, chicken wasn't cooked all the way, food was just thrown on the plate. Really sloppy and slow service, very disappointed and I used to love coming here. read more

Tonight was my first time eating here and I can't believe I have been missing out the last 2 years living here in Mcdonough! Our wait time was a little long but once we were seated the whole experience was beyond our expectations. Our server suggested the spinach dip which came out quickly and we devoured it immediately. We had a member of management stop by our table to welcome us as it was our first time in which she left us 2 chocolate chip cookies to enjoy later. My husband and I both ordered steak and they both were cooked to perfection! From the service to the food I definitely recommend this place if you haven't tried, you won't be disappointed! read more

This was our first time here and I was expecting a lot based on the ambiance of the restaurant. We ordered our food, but when it arrived, it wasn't right. We ordered chicken tenders buffalo style, which hey didn't come out buffalo style and also I had ordered coleslaw which didn't arrive with my dinner. It was actually after I was done eating everything else our waiter came by and I had to tell him I didn't get the rest of my meal. It came out a bit later (again, I had been done eating for a while now). Also he asked us if we wanted lemon in our iced tea and we did but that never showed up either. So, pretty disappointed. read more

We came and saw that it had no wait....lies. We walk in and the hostess automatically said 45 minute wait for 2 people. I asked if she needed our number so they can call us and they said she doesn't know about that. Frustrating!!! read more

This restaurant was my all time favorite restaurant on my side of town until recently. My family and I frequented the restaurant every other Sunday since we could not get enough of their lightly buttered croissants. I don't know if it's new management, lack of staff or increase in customers but the quality of the service and food has decreased drastically. So I grabbed my kids and drove 30 minutes to this restaurant, I'm super excited after missing a few Sundays since we moved. I pulled up to the restaurant and almost every parking lot was filled. I did not let that discourage me because I had just driven 30 minutes to get here, and had two kids in the backseat "ready to eat ". Once we entered the young lady at the door directed us to a table on the side of the bar. She took us to a high table with four separate chairs. I have a 16 months old baby in my arms along with a five year old ( I'm sure my five year old and I could have toughed it out ) but did she really think that I would sit there with my toddler ? So I politely relayed to her that we could not sit there , and that it wasn't safe for my baby. She said "well you're gonna have to wait there till I find something ". Still in shock I calmly shook my head in agreement. Another gentleman came to me asking if I needed help , I explained my dilemma and he lead me to an obvious empty both , which had another empty both behind it. He took my appetizers and walked away. He brought them back in a timely manner and although it wasn't prepared how I requested it , we sat and ate it. So we are sitting there for over 30 minutes and no one came to take our entree orders. My kids are annoyed and I'm beyond frustrated. The young man who brought our appetizers came back from break and noticed us while I was just about to get up and leave ( bare in mind the only reason I'm still here because we drove all the way here and we are hungry ). He asked if everything was okay and once again I explained the rest of my dilemma. He apologized profusely and put in our orders. My food came out and after waiting so long I was extremely disappointed. The food just wasn't the same. My ribs were dry , my fries were cold and obviously stale , the cole slaw was dry and I was upset. Since I was so hungry , I ate as much as I could stomach ( plus we waited so long ). I tipped the young man because he tried his best. So I was ignored in a very open part of the restaurant with two kids for over 30 minutes , the food wasn't great and their sitting choice for my family obviously didn't make any sense. We haven't been back and dont intend to re visit. Everyone have different taste , but this is my story so visit at your own risk. read more

Awesome croissants...the waiter was very attentive and provided excellent customer service.

The ONLY reason I am giving this even ONE star is because the prices were extremely reasonable. Other than that, I would not recommend this particular restaurant to anyone. Maybe a different location would be better, but the one in McDonough, GA was absolutely HORRIBLE. The service was a nightmare and the food that wasn't under-cooked was mediocre at best. This was my first (and most likely LAST) experience with Cheddar's. I will NOT be trying a different location any time in the near future. On Saturday, May 10, 2014, We visited Cheddar's in McDonough, GA for an early Mother's Day lunch with family. We were told it would be 30-45 minutes before we'd be seated, which we completely understood and were absolutely okay with. We had a party of 8 and were ask if we wanted to sit together or would 2 booths be okay. We told them that no, we did not want 2 booths, that we wanted to sit together. Again, we were told it would be about 30-45 minutes. Again, we were fine with this. 45 minutes later, we were taken to 2 booths where they attempted to seat us. When we told them, AGAIN, that we had already stated we did not want 2 booths, the girl got very snippy with us and told us she didn't understand what the big deal was, and she didn't know what "together" meant that written beside our name. So again, we waited...for another 50 minutes. At this point we've been waiting to be seated for over an hour and a half. When we were finally seated, the waitress was extremely rude and disrespectful from the start. **The only thing I can think is she knew she was getting a tip regardless of her service because the tip was already going to be added to the check since we had a party of 8**. When she took our order, she acted as though it was inconvenient that 2 members of our party ask for a salad, and yes we knew it was going to cost extra. We had to ask FOUR TIMES for silverware, and when we finally received silverware (after we'd had our salads for nearly 5 minutes), we had to send 4 sets back because they were dirty. As if this experience hadn't already been a complete nightmare, we waited for an HOUR...AN HOUR... for our food WHICH WAS COLD AND NOT COOKED RIGHT. Of the three steaks that were ordered, only ONE was actually cooked close to the way it was ordered. One steak was ordered medium-rare with loaded baked potato and corn. What was received was one steak cooked medium with wonderfully COLD potato and corn. The other 2 steaks were both ordered medium-well and both steaks were still oozing blood when they were brought out. One individual had ordered the loaded baked potato and broccoli as well as an extra salad. What he received was a 13 oz steak cooked rare with nothing else. When he ask where his sides were, the waitress actually argued with him that he did not, in fact, order the sides, but rather only ordered the salad. The other person who ordered the steak wanted it cooked medium-well with loaded potato and broccoli. What she received was the 8 oz steak cooked rare along with the sides she ordered. When BOTH people complained about the undercooked steaks, the waitress said "So what do you want? You want me take it back and put back on the grill until it's how you want it?" SERIOUSLY????? Not only is that a health violation, it's also unprofessional. Next, after waiting for an hour for our food, you'd think it'd be so piping hot that we'd need to wait for it to cool off. Unfortunately, this was not the case. In fact, most of food was cold. In the hour we waited for our COLD, wrongly prepared food to arrive, we received exactly ZERO drink refills and saw our waitress TWO times...when she brought the salads and when she brought our silverware. The dirty silverware and subsequent silverware we received was given to and replaced by a different server. At this point, we ask to speak to the manager. It took almost 20 minutes for the manager to finally be found (This is what we were told...they were looking for him, but couldn't find him). When he came to the table, be offered to take the food back and have it remade, but at this point those of us who actually could eat, were basically finished eating. It was then requested to just remove the 2 meals from the tickets and bring us our checks. This took yet another 20 minutes, during which time we did not see a waitress at all. During our entire time at this restaurant, we received ONE drink refill. ONE. In more than 2 hours of being there, we received ONE refill. This is completely unacceptable. read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - According to Cheddar's in McDonough, GA, this steak is cooked MEDIUM-WELL. I think NOT - Comfort Food Near Me - Mcdonough, Georgia

Awful.. Just AWFUL.. It is time for this location to get NEW MANAGEMENT all AROUND for this location. They were open on New Years Day and was out of Baked potatoes, cheddar cheese, rice and NO lemonade to make strawberry. We waited 45 minutes for our food and they STILL got the food wrong. If the restaurant was going to be out of food items. The manager should have had the hostess give ALL customers a heads up what the restaurant was out of. The grade for the restaurant is a 75. AWFUL. AWFUL. change management before the location closes down read more

No steak, no chicken, no ribs... no tenders. They ran out of everything. Won't come back ever. Welcome to GA

This is probably my favorite restaurant In this area. Not only have I had almost everything on the menu, but everything is great. My boyfriend, my mom, and I can go there have an appetizer and 3 entrees and I can walk out paying less than 50 bucks and everyone enjoyed their meal. Do not leave without getting the croissants. read more

Always love the food here. It's usually a wait time when you go but that's almost normal. Staff is always nice and smiling so I don't mind the wait. And the guy at the bar makes bomb drinks that are truly worth the money. No complain from this chick. read more

The worst service I have ever experienced. The idiot behind welcome booth kept talking on a radio to someone, (understandable they were busy) did not acknowledge me for about 5 minutes although made eye contact a couple of times, after he was finished with his conversation he makes this Oh man I didn't see you standing there comment, really? You only made eye contact a couple of times. It was rather aggravating but I have called down in my old age and just said never mind, if this is how you treat customers I don't give a shit if the food is free I will go elsewhere, will not set foot in that place again, I can live with them being busy and taking a while to get to me but dont treat me like I am an idiot......shame too because they actually do have good food. read more

The wait was long but the food was hot and delicious! I wondered why the time the online told me it would be ready was off by so much and the person that brought it to the car said that the time online is usually off by several minutes. Other than that everything was great! read more

OMG! Where do I start. I had the Monte Christo and it was phenomenal. Our server was the best and the menu was really really good. I can't wait to go back and try the many things I saw that I was to sample. Very impressed, I have been trying to get here for years. I am definitely going back. read more

Terrible service. We waited over 2 hours to be seated and served. Waitress ignored us most of the time and we had to remind her to take our order. No drink refills, etc. The food is not worth the wait so don't waste your time or money. read more

Whenever I am in the McDounugh area and have time to stop and eat Cheddars is one of my favorite restaurants. Being from Savannah/Pooler Georgia this place a hometown favorite. This particular locating is located in a very busy area of McDonough/Jonesboro Rd. Not to far from the highway exit so you can imagine the congested traffic in the area. Sundays at this place is extremely busy and pack. There is typically a wait time that can range from 30 mins to an hour. Large groups tend to come here to celebrate and eat good. Once seated the wait staff is good and they make sure all your needs are met. I would recommend for an appetizer the huge buttery crescent rolls(very delicious and warm). My favorite dish to order is the New Orleans pasta filled with a fair amount of shrimp, sausages, and lots of spices. If you can handle a spicy food/kick this is the dish for you. It also comes with a piece of garlic bread. I also pair my meal with their infamous Maui Margarita that comes with a shot of cactus juice (yummy). Parking can be a hassle at times due to the overflow of guest but its manageable. I am looking forward to trying this restaurant out again. I cannot remember the exact price but the food and drinks are not overly expensive. They also have a nice bar area when the wait is too long. read more

My waitress was horrible..once she brought our meals we didn't see her again for 20 minutes. We asked numerous servers for our waitress (who never gave us her name). We even asked for the manager who never showed up. I would not recommend this place and it's not even crowded read more

Unfortunately, we got there before they were slammed on a Saturday evening. There were issues seating us, someone had put dirty dishes on the clean table they were trying to put us at. Then a shift manager was annoyed at having to move them so we could be seated. She, naturally, put them on another clean table. Was fun to watch the server who noticed it chew out the wrong people for doing it. Then, evidently, no one noticed we were there, so I went back and asked if we had a server. A reluctant young man arrived to take out order. He was stoned or sullen, or perhaps had had a long day. For the first time ever, a friends meal was incorrect instead of mine. Chicken tenders were wonderful! Ribs were dry, county fried steak had more batter than meat. All in all, not on my list for trying again. read more

I have been a avid Cheddars fan for years, really enjoying their Monte Cristo and other selections. Unfortunately, today I was not a fan. It began with our server seeming to try and leave our table as quickly as possible, even when we had more questions and were still in the middle of ordering. The poor experience continued in the baked potato that was ordered coming to our table cold. The final straw was three of our drinking glasses came to our table with food remnants still stuck to the outside. My largest concern with that is if we found food remnants on the glass that we could see, what were the conditions of the plates and bowls with food in it that we couldn't see. Anyway, spoke to the manager about our concerns, and we left our table without touching any more of our meal. It is my greatest wish that customer care be restored. That employees are taught to have some propriety. How would they feel if they was served food on dirty dishes. I get it, they didnt get washed or rinsed good enough from most likely a dishwasher. Bottom line is it should of been caught I hope that your servers learn the importance of customer service. If you could influence your employees it will reflect back on you. read more

Why deal with horrendous service just to get lackluster food? That certainly isn't an issue at Cheddar's. At a reasonable price and with relatively low wait times, Cheddar's is a clear choice for any endeavor. Whatever you are in the mood for, Cheddar's has you covered. From a Buffalo Chicken Wrap to a wonderful Fish and Chips dish, Cheddar's has a meal for every type of person. One of my personal favorites would be the New Orleans Traditional Style Cajun Chicken Pasta. These are just a few reasons why this is my favorite establishment. Whenever I come here, it is always a delight. The servers work with a smile and a peppy attitude. I usually travel with my younger siblings so it is wonderful that our server is not condescending and will interact with them in a friendly manner. The food comes at a quick pace, but certainly not at the cost of taste. In my most recent excursion, I chose the buffalo chicken wrap. The presentation was great. A nice, simple, yet tantalizing display of a meal. We ordered around 3:45 and received our food at 3:56, only 11 minutes! The variety available at the establishment is impeccable. Since I travel with my younger siblings, who tend to be picky eaters, I always appreciate a large variety of items for the pickier palate. It did not take long for us to be seated, so this wasn't our entire day like some other restaurants. In the end, Cheddar's is far and above the best option for a timely delicious meal. With good atmosphere, Wonderful waiting times, and stellar service. read more
