The food, portion sizes, atmosphere, and speed were all great. Waitress was nice and efficient.

Well this was awful. Spinach dip appetizer was so full of salt. Fish & chips was inedible. Fish obviously has been thawed & frozen a few times. It wasn't even flakey. It was mushy. Fries were just fries. read more

I hadn't been to a cheddar's in quite some time. We had a brief wait which was fine. Our server was competent but not overly engaging. She seemed over worked. The pastries are really good. An unexpected delight. I had the spicy shrimp which had a nice spice level. They were good. Another person had the not spicy shrimp past but the shrimp were very spicy. She doesn't like spicy food so that was a miss. The chicken tenders were really good. Huge portions. We had some children in the group and their food was served in very hot dishes. Not a good idea for young diners. I think it's a great value for the portions and the dishes are good. Just a free miscues. Well read more

My boyfriend decided to treat me for my birthday to some cheddars. (08/05) Which is usually one of my favorite places to dine in for special occasions, due to the great service. We both arrived around 8:13pm. We were seated shortly after, but we waited over 45 minutes before we were served. Let alone looked at by any of the staff. When the server finally arrived, she was very rude and dismissed that fact we were waiting almost an hour to be served!. We then waited another 30 minutes for drinks and another 20 for appetizer which came out along with our food! This was unacceptable I don't recommend cheddars to anyone. Unless you wanna be treated as less than. read more

Cheddar's used to be great. Now its a filth hole that serves garbage. The amount of food that is dried up and encrusted to the booth partition walls is atrocious. The food we received was a joke. The steaks were piled with so much peppercorn that you couldn't finish them. The ribs were so dried out that they literally crunched. Slathering bbq sauce on overcooked, dry pork doesn't make for good ribs. It took 20 minutes AFTER our appetizer had been long gone before food hit the table. Cold fries, rubber broccoli. Sadly, this has been our experience the last couple times we've been in. Its beyond being just an off-day fluke. This is just how that restaurant is now. Its dirty, and most of the wait staff are running their asses off trying to keep up, obviously tired and disheveled. No thanks. read more

Don't come here. Waited for an hour for our food. Said they ran out of batter for chicken. Should have let us know and if we wanted to order something else. Tried to entertain a two your old while waiting. Also the hostess had gross chains linked through her nose nostril. Won't go back. Jim read more

When this place first opened up it was really good, but at some point between 2019 and now the food is just not the same nor is the attention to detail or the service. They may have short staffed issues, but there's no excuse for two empty glasses when the waitress has stopped many times to look at them. Not was there an excuse for a waitress in training picking at her nose by the host desk or the hostess not informing us that we could get a non-booth seat in the bar instead of waiting. She did however inform mostly all other guest coming in. read more

I would give them no stars but I can't! I got in today to see what the wait time is and some little girl starts giggling and says it's going to be a two hour wait, and I say wow really, she says no just kidding!! And starts laughing! I'm like are you serious! You should not shine Ike that in these times. That really made me mad! I CANNOT SAY THIS LOUD ENOUGH, I WILL NEVER GO TO CHEDDARS AGAIN! Horrible service, horrible food, not clean. Place is a dump! read more

Went here just after lunch my wife is so what handicapped we have a sticker , but all the H Spots are around the corner , out front they have unrestricted parking and parking fot to go orders so I guess the handicapped don't count ,so we go in not crowded , but we have to deal with this hostess who is looking for a table for two for 10 mins on there computer ,finally she says I have to go clean a table for you , walking by all these dirty tables , I'm thinking really , now your saying well since covid they can't get help well they certainly don't reflect that in the price , oh sorry your inconvenienced we don't have enough help take 25 % off the bill, so she walks us to the opposite end of the restaurant , , the server Marie was awesome the food was good , I asked Marie to send the manager over I wanted to ask him about the H parking but I guess he couldn't be bothered he never showed up besides it's most likely out of his hands most likely a corporate decision and yes the spots out front you could see were H at one time but they painted over them , so I emailed corporate , haven't heard a word from them either so , , I can't support any business that thinks so little of the Handicapped good bye read more

First time coming here. Friendly staff, and quick service. Got seated almost right away. My waitress was also really nice. I asked a few things about the items on the menu and she recommended a few things. Also was quick to grab anything if needed. Even on the busy night she was attentive. Really recommend the onion rings for an appetizer. Nice onion ring tower presentation as well. The Cajun dipping sauce is awesome. Adds great flavor to the battered onion rings. I got the Cajun pasta which was great. Shrimp sausage and chicken with penne pasta. So filling! Had to had take half of it home which made a great lunch the next day. read more

We sat for 20 minutes with no one acknowledging us. We even used the "alert your server" on the tabletop device. Still no one. Several servers saw us, and we tried to get their attention... but no one came over, we did let them know as we left, there was a group of servers gathered at the host station, all too busy to serve.... read more

Went there last night 3/18/24 with a party of 7. Food was great my issue came with our server. I'm not gonna mention names but if they look they can figure it out. Our server was rude as hell. I guessing he thinks he was being edgy and funny. He wasn't!! Simple questions pertaining to the menu would rudely be directed to the location that would answer the question. It just wasn't a great way to go about being a cordial host. read more

Croissants is one of our favorites. Once they started serving it. We have been going there often. Love their trio sampler too. The price is reasonable. One of our favorite place to eat. read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - These croissants is one of our favorites. - Comfort Food Near Me - Mishawaka, Indiana

The food was delicious and cooked to our needs and me and my wife loved the croissant rolls and the dessert was delicious

7:15 on a Sunday night. They said wait would be 20-25 took maybe 15 to sit, another 15 for drinks and dinner arrived at 8:15 with 4 of the dishes and 3 still missing. Prices are cheap but the wait sucks. I would not recommend this place for more than 5 people we had 7 in our group with a child. Free bread would have been nice to tie the child over for the long wait. No silverware on the table when we arrived. Food did not come all out at once and most plates were missing items. Very odd. Our server seemed to go missing. Food smells good but they put way too much gravy on the fried chicken but my father says the chicken does tase good. My ribs and chicken are cooked well too read more

First time here for lunch. OMG I'll take 2dz to go please w/large ice cold milk. The Honey twisted cor something roll. It's desert before dinner. Anyway I ordered the new Orleans pasta. 4 out of 5. Very good, pasta texture on point with creamy red sauce & plenty of goodies. My friend ordered the white fish lemon pepper lunch special. She liked the taste but maybe a little undone. I sort of agree about doneness, taste 2.5/5. Nice clean place but must have been busy cause it took a while. Overall 3.5/5 & looking forward to eating there again read more

Waitress was extremely nice and willing to bring us cleaning supplies. Everyone is worried about getting covid but here at the table once you sit your menus and paper towels stick to the table they are so dirty and sticky. Paper towels stuck trying to wipe off table and can not remove unless scrapped off. Absolutely disgusting! They need some serious table cleaning training here. read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Paper towel sticking to table it is so dirty - Comfort Food Near Me - Mishawaka, Indiana

4-2-18 The seat had soda all over it and the menu was sticky with food particles on it. I've had this problem before so I guess they don't bother cleaning the menus down. Our waitress is very abrupt and she doesn't give you time to say anything before she is off to the next customer. I guess my tip will reflect this. My mother got the pecan salad which I know she will not be happy with as my mother likes lots of green lettuce on her salad. I had the the grilled chicken with shrimp, sweet potato and fries. My meal was cold. The shrimp and chicken was cold to the touch. The waitress took the meal away and didn't bother asking if I wanted something different. To abrupt for me. I won't get her again. I ended up getting a replacement meal within 10 minutes. The food wasnt cold it was a little better than warm. I ate the meal as I didn't feel like waiting any longer to eat. I guess today they had a problem getting the food hot. My mother liked her salad which I was surpised as she said it had alot of greens in it. We had dessert at let's spoon ( A yogurt place). I feel our meal was rushed and the waitress wanted us out so she could get someone else in. 9-24-17 We got seated at a table that was dirty with food particles on it. The lady that seated us didn't bother getting something to wipe the table down so I did. Not a good way to start a meal. The menus should be wiped down at the end of each night. Not a good impression getting a dirty oily menu. My mother and I both had the Chicken Pot pies which I enjoyed a lot. A few years ago when I had the pie there was hardly any chicken in it. My mother preferred that it had more peas, carrots and some potato pieces in the pie would of been nice she says. She also said it had to much salt on it. We had the pecan salad. I didn't want the cherry tomatoes but as I like to call them real tomatoes. I got to small slices for the whole salad which was a joke. The salad presentation wasn't very professional. The ingredients were just thrown in there. There was hardly any candy pecans. We both shared the salad and had the dressing on the side. The only thing I can say for the waitress was she was okay. When you see someone's drink empty you should fill it up. I waited over 12 minutes for another drink. The customer should not have to say any thing. Also do not assume a person is done eating and try to take there food away. Ask first before you do this. 3-25-2017 My friend, mother and I came here today. My last visit was not pleasant. I wish I could figure out how to respond to my message on here that Cheddar management wrote to me. My friend got The Buffalo chicken wrap that's in 4 pieces. She said she enjoyed it. She ended up giving me one of her's as my Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo had absolutely no taste. They also did not give me the extra sauce I wanted not that it would of mattered. I give up on getting any pasta here. The pasta was absolutely bland with no taste. If you read my last review you will see my comments. The manager (Guy) came out and he told me that the sauce is made the same way all the time. I can't say I cared for his demeanor. On my last review the sauce was excellent and it had excellent taste. If you want pasta don't come here. This is not chicken Fettuccine as the pasta they use are Penne not the Fettuccine noodles. My mother had the chicken pot pie and a side salad. My mother liked it. Because they screwed up my meal I ended up eating parts of my mothers and friends meal. Hey cheddars why don't you message me with your contact information as I can't seem to respond on here. The best part of my meal was my vegetables and root beer. I will have to look for a new restaurant as im tired of the negative attitude from the management and the food that is messed up all the time. I am picky when I go out to eat and I expect the food to be done to perfection after all they are suppose to be the master cooks not me. I mainly eat at home because going out to eat is expensive. read more

Decent food, we usually order pickup these days, but that's just because we're introverts and it tends to be a bit loud inside. The bourbon glazed salmon is delicious, as well as the mashed potatoes, steamed carrots, and spinach dip. read more

Service was fast and food came out fairly quick and everything was hot! I sat at bar so I did not have long wait.

Sticky tables, cobwebs, seriously over-salted food topped with messed up orders and terrible service. Sad. Restaurant is pretty, portions are enormous, and food/drinks LOOK great (the ones actually in stock and available). I'm not hard to please.... an average Olive Garden is 66 times better, and I'm simply blown away they are owned by the same parent company. read more

I couldn't suggest this place less. The food was mid at best and the service was awful. Waited about an hour to get food

Great prices, great portions, but mediocre taste. The appetizers were fantastic (cheese bites and spinach dip), but the entrees were disappointing. read more

I love Cheddar's but my husband is decidedly on the fence. I twisted his arm a bit and off we went. We were seated right away in the main section near the fans. It has a beautiful decor, but it is a little dark in there. Our server greeted us right away; he was a really friendly and chatty guy. We started with some cheese curds. The breading was a little too crunchy for my tastes, but they were still good. I ordered the steak and chicken strips with mashed potatoes and corn. My husband ordered their New Orleans pasta. The food took quite a while to come out, but at least our server kept us informed (there were a couple of really big parties there) and kept our glasses full. The food was great! The steak was cooked well, the chicken was great. I got a baked potato instead of mashed, but that's fine. No worries. Best of all, my husband loved his pasta! He wished it were just a smidge warmer, but he claimed the flavor was outstanding. He gets a similar dish from Fridays which costs close to $16 and here it was $11.99. Fantastic food and great service. I think I've converted my husband into being a fan! read more

Even with using call ahead seating we waited for over an hour. Service was pretty bad. She never offered refills, adult beverages didn't arrive until the entrees arrived, took her 5 times to separate 3 checks correctly. Food was mediocre. Chicken walnut salad contained few walnuts, green beans were raw, cold and inedible. Very disappointing experience. I'm done with Cheddar's. read more

AVOID if you're vegan or vegetarian! Other than the most excellent server Cecilia, the place wasn't good. The prices we're fair though. I made the wrong assumption that when a menu states "Vegetable Plate," that is what I can order. Not really! It was a salad with 4 sides but, who would think that the following items we're not Vegetarian - BROCCOLI CHEESE CASSEROLE, BUTTERED OFF-THE-COB CORN, SOUTHERN GREEN BEANS, and SEASONED RICE. That left me with nothing but starch and a salad. Again, HOORAY for the incredible kindness of our server. Without her, we would have left the restaurant. Come on Cheddar's, its 2019 and even steak-houses offer more than you do. :( read more

I realize the service industry is still recovering and having patience while waiting is the new normal but.... My mom who is 85 ordered a steak. Her steak was so rare is was bleeding in her mashed potatoes. When asked to have it cooked longer the waitresses rolled her eyes as if we were an inconvenience to her. We never got a drink refill- when asked for one when we got our check she said she didn't know if she had any to go cups. The feeling about this place has changed and is no longer a nice friendly place to go, sadly. read more

I would give zero stars if possible. This evening while waiting for a table, there was a little accident by the entry. A child puked all over the floor and on a staff member. Not only did it take at least 10 minutes for them to clean it up, they didn't even use a mop to clean the floors. They sprayed the floor with a cleaner and two staff members used paper towels to wipe it up. I didn't realize it was that difficult to get ahold of a mop to not only clean the mess but make it smell a lot better. It smells absolutely disgusting and I feel bad for those with food right by the incident. Hoping they fix their problem solving skills. To continue on, when I recieved my meal, chicken alfredo pasta, the chicken was undercooked. So after already waiting 30+ minutes for food, I waited another 20 to get my fresh meal. After receiving undercooked chicken and waiting a while for new food, there was no discount applied to the bill. To say the least, pretty disappointed in Cheddar's this evening and will not be back for a while. read more

We were promptly sat. 10 minutes later had drinks, 40 minutes later had 1 of 2 salads and our appetizer, 50 minute later we had 2 drinks dumped all over the table by the server, 60 minutes later we had our dinner, 75 minutes later we have the bill. Seriously bad experience. (Want a picture of my rock hard, overcooked, french fries?) read more

Food was mediocre. The queso was really good! Food came out piping hot! Good portion sizes for your money. Server was friendly. The biggest complaint I have is how dirty it was. Our table and chairs had crumbs in them. Surrounding tables also had come debris on them. Probably won't go back but wasn't the worse experience. read more

Save your money or go somewhere else. Food was terrible along with terrible drinks. Service was mid as well. OVERRATED AND OVERPRICED!!!!!

By far, one of the best meals in a long time! Cheddars is an authentic "scratch kitchen" - real food, cooked well. Customer service was on point - server advised us that "the guys in the back are happy to tweak anything on the menu", (who says that)? And when our meals were delivered by the GM, we knew we had stumbled onto something.... great! And, if all that wasn't over the top, our bill for an app, 2 entrees with 2 sides each, beverages & dessert to go came to $37 wow! read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Delictable homemade onion rings! - Comfort Food Near Me - Mishawaka, Indiana

Don't be surprised if this joint goes out of business. Place is nice to look at from the outside. Once inside, you can figure it out for yourself. The place is DIRTY. Dirty floors, walls, tables, chairs, glassware and dirty employees. I saw more than a few wait staff with dirty uniforms. All that aside, food was cheap, but acceptable for the price point. Won't be return customer though. Gross. read more

Don't bother...food was VERY cold. Mashed potatoes took 30 minutes ...after the entree was brought out. Are people afraid they will get sued for hot food? Or is it because of the under 25 crowd running the place? Please stop vaping weed or wtf ever you are doing, while waiting to bring the food to the table so long that it's COLD. Then stop acting indifferent when I say something to you about it. Stop making excuses and do your job, patrons to your "scratch" kitchen should not be condescendingly treated by offering a "free nacho" coupon. The manager could give a crap less about customer service either. This was my first and last time at Chedders...I'll be "scratching" this place off my list #cheddarscratch #meh #lookingforagoodmealbutcantfindonehere read more
