    Croissants

    Stopped into Cheddar's for lunch with a few friends and was impressed right from the start. Even with a packed parking lot and a steady stream of people coming in, we were seated right away, which was a pleasant surprise. Our server brought drinks quickly, and of course, those warm, sweet croissants that are pure happiness on a plate. We kept it simple and all ordered the sirloin steak entree for lunch. The food came out fast and cooked perfectly. My steak was tender, juicy, and seasoned just right. The green beans and honey-glazed carrots made the perfect sides, fresh and full of flavor. We wrapped things up by sharing the fried apple pie, which was crisp, warm, and delicious. The ice cream took it to the next level. Honestly, I could have eaten the whole thing myself. Next time, I just might. Overall, great food, friendly service, and a cozy atmosphere. Cheddar's never disappoints!

    Homestyle Meatloaf

    Really happy we decided to give Cheddars another try. Had an amazing rockstar server Shelley. Really took care of us even during the busy dinner time. Tried some new entrees in the meatloaf and smokehouse burger. The meatloaf was very good but definitely recommend the gravy on the side (very salty). Burger hit some great notes, especially the caramelized onions and smokey bacon. The kids meals are really great value. Huge portions for the kids and includes a drink. The place itself is always very clean. Did get a little louder as the meal progressed, but that was to be expected. Overall, really happy with our experience and highly recommend you ask for Shelley! Great Job!

    Was seated fast during dinner rush and was able to get a quiet cozy corner booth. The food came out fast and met expectations!

    Drinks and food are always good service was attentive and friendly! I think this place is always a go to when we want to eat somewhere not too expensive but not fast food and can still find healthy options!

    Didn't really know what we wanted after tackling the Old Navy gods this evening, but all of a sudden, Cheddars came to mind. So why the heck not! Those rolls though... well, croissants smothered in their honey butter.. just give me one or seventeen. NONE of those calories counted cause they're so light and airy, right?!? We decided on the Chicken Fried Chicken, which really provided snacks for the next few days. Had zero idea it's served on a piece of toast, but interesting take! DOUBLE the chicken boobs, add a simple baked potato and don't hold back on the broccoli cheese casserole. A LOT of gravy and for a little extra that huge piece of chicken, too. Honestly it wasn't anything to send a memo to Mother about; the gravy was just about like ever other CFC gravy had. Grabbed their Key West Chicken and Shrimp, with ZERO doo in the shrimp (that does matter). They themselves, had a GREAT flavor! The chicken was just how I prefer it; slim and grilled, topped with a sweet fruity pineapple pico... southern green beans and mashed potatoes for the sides. Same gravy that was on the CFC so didn't feel the need to write Father on this one. I was hoping the rice had some sort of flavor, but perhaps I missed it? We didn't see our waitress much. In fact, after she set the water down, it was a good 25mins before someone came back around. Yes, we did use the "call server" button. Never came by for refills ‍

    My mom and I came here for lunch as she was craving the monte cristo sandwich. I haven't been since my last year, about 5 years ago. I opted for the salmon dish and very very impressed. It was very tender, filling and flavorful. We also had the spinch dip app. They gave a hearty amount of dip and salsa. My moms monte cristo really hit the spot. Our server was attentive and quick. It was a nice lunch with great food in a clean and fun environment.

    First time to this place. Very popular as many people were out on Saturday night. Extensive drink and food selection. A little bit of everything. The complimentary Honey Butter Croissants were to die for!!! Hot, fresh and delicious. 2 people ordered the Sirloin Steak. One was perfect. The other was ordered medium rare, which it was on the inside but it was charred so badly that all you could taste was the char. Not so good. I had the Battered Shrimp with Loaded Baked Potato and Broccoli & Cheese Casserole. Yum!! Margaritas were big and plentiful. Ok, bye.

    Cajun chicken bowl. Decent
    Chad W.

    Well came to cheddars for lunch yesterday. Now I'm not a Chain restaurant person very often. Plus not a big American comfort food person either. Service was decent considering they were very busy. I got a Cajun chicken bowl. The red beans and rice were fine but nothing about it was outstanding or blew me away. Probably won't be back lol. But nothing against Cheddars at all as people seemed to love it. Just not my cup of tea I guess.

    We love coming here! The atmosphere is nice, it's calming mood lighting with the cutest fish tank. The staff is nice! The menu is the perfect size, with still plenty to choose from. And you can't beat these prices!! The chicken strips are always huge and crispy. The sides are all amazing, it's hard to choose only two! Also they have the best ranch.

    This was my first visit to a Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen. Prior to visiting I had called to see if it was possible to get reservations and advised just to call ahead of time for a group of seven that would be coming in for lunch. Complementary parking is available right outside the restaurant Upon arrival we were instructed to stand until at least half of our party arrived, which would be another 10 minutes as we were so early. I have to admit this was a little frustrating as a restaurant was empty on Monday morning and did not make for a good first impression. We were fortunate enough to get a large table in the back corner of the restaurant, as the acoustics quickly deteriorated as the lunch crowd arrived. Could not imagine, sitting in the middle of the restaurant, and try to carry on a conversation. Our server was awesome, patiently explaining the menu and attentively catering to our special requests. The menu is varied to cater to all tastes. Food was prepared very well and I found the salad with salmon delicious. All the entrées served were fresh and quality. Recommend this location for a nice lunch or dinner destination. A full bar is available.

    Bacon cheeseburger and fries

    Nice and clean. It was pretty packed on a Wednesday but my friend and I were seated within 5/10 minutes. Last time I came here it was just "ok" I actually only came because a friend of mine invited me and I wasn't paying (lol) BUT to my surprise they have definitely improved the quality of their meals. I wasn't expecting anything amazing so I just ordered a bacon Cheeseburger and fries AND OMG!! It was sooooo darn GOOD!! Lol. my only con was that our waitress kept walking past us taking everyone else's order before she got to my friend and I. We had to actually say something to her but other than that the food was REALLY GOOD!!

    Do they have call ahead seating?

    Unsure. They will have a nice table for you when you go in..

    How are the gluten free options here?

    They have limited options there but the chefs are always willing to make some adjustments to dishes if you ask the server.

We started with the biscuits, which came out hot and fresh. These were so delicious and buttery, and the peach and blueberry jam took them to the next level. My husband and I both had the mountain morning bowl. To me, this is a perfect breakfast! Goat cheese grits, crispy potatoes, egg, a little spice...YUM. The other members of our party also loved their meals. I can't wait to come back and try more!

    Tupelo Honey is a fairly decent place located in the downtown area of Omaha. I've been here many…read moretimes because of how good the food is. That's the main thing that brings me back. Ok the other hand, the service is rather iffy & unpredictable. The chicken & waffles is my go-to for each visit, and they have many types of delicious sides to choose from, with my favorites being the biscuits & berries, goat cheese grits, and also the fried green tomatoes. I have zero problems with the food that they serve here, they always do an excellent job at preparing whatever they need to prepare & the portions are always satisfactory. As for the service, there are days where you will receive perfect service while on others the service is not so great. Some days you will be attended to in a timely manner, while there is other days where there isn't anyone available or willing to seat you somewhere. I've also experienced instances where they didn't attend to our table to take orders until I made a complaint. Most of these instances were during days where the place was virtually empty so it's not because of the place being busy. I've also ordered take out from here before, again some instances are perfect and there's other instances where they don't tell you if a certain food is out of stock via text or call so if you ordered something that isn't in stock, you're forced to wait for them to prepare something else once you arrive to pick up your order. They also don't always include syrup or butter in the takeout bags for chicken & waffles. One minor thing I'm also disappointed about is how the portion of grits has lessened over time, going from being served in a bowl to instead being served in a small cup/mug. Overall, I certainly don't return for the service because you never really know if it's going to be a good day or a bad day for that. It's always the food that brings me back. I do want to like this place, and I do to an extent but again the service is always unpredictable. I'd still say the food is worth coming here to see how it goes.

    Hidden treasure in the heart of Old Mill. As my friend said, "more people need to know about this…read moreplace." All of the food is made to order, and it's authentic Louisiana fare. Friendly staff, decent bar, and great meals. Budget-friendly food that's better than the standard whatever you're used to. Cool vibe - can't wait to go back. Also - check out their reverse happy hours - weirdly early and extra-late. Great deals. Cheers!

The interior is a little boxy, but with lots of decor like chandeliers with Mardi Gras beads hanging down, some uplighting, and cute New Orleans pictures on the walls. Our favorite little side/app, are the Boudin Balls, which are kind of like hush puppies, but with a nice helping of remoulade on top. Yum! My fave go-to entree is the Five Pepper Cream pasta, which is fettuccini tossed in a creamy creole sauce, with a huge breaded filet of blackened chicken on top. Another favorite is the Creole Mac, which is a Mac and Cheese, but with a spicy sauce/spices on top, and filled with andouille sausage as well as sliced, grilled chicken. It definitely has a kick, so if you're averse to any heat, then maybe choose something else. And lastly, I sometimes get the Cajun Meatloaf, if I'm feeling like a heavier dish. It is meatloaf, like you've obviously had a million times, but it is sitting in a dish full of grits and sweet potatoes, and topped with a creamy white béchamel sauce. They also have a lunch size portion of this, which I appreciate. And each entree comes with a little slice of cheesy bread, that's great to dip in the extra sauce of your dish! We sometimes also get the desserts, and they have a great crème brûlée and bananas foster. It's hard to find a good bananas foster in Omaha, and theirs is really good, and very large! The service we have had has always been pretty good, but we did have a weird encounter with one server recently. She made a joke about something (I can't even remember what it was), but it was a little bit poking fun at my husband. It was fine and we all laughed a little at it, but what was weird was that she kept coming over and repeating it over and over in different ways. It was a little annoying and awkward. The owner (I think?) was walking around making sure everything was ok and chatting with each table, so he was great - no complaints there. I will say the only other drawback is that it definitely is not an inexpensive place to eat, so you can't return TOO often. But when you do, you better come hungry and it needs to be a special treat. Acadian Grille is one of only a few creole/cajun restaurants in Omaha, so definitely give them a try if you are looking for that style of food - or know it and want to find it in Omaha!
