Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Island Tiki - Comfort Food Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

I got to the restaurant around 6:30 on a Saturday night and surprisingly the wait was only 10-15 minutes. The waiting area was crowded so we waited outside until a few minutes before our table was ready. Our server Amanda was quick to get our drink orders and was attentive throughout the meal. I had the peach tea, which was nice and refreshing. They served the complementary croissant and it was hot and fresh. I ordered the buffalo chicken wrapper for my entree. This is something I order almost every time I go to Cheddars. Tonight the wrapper was not as tasty as I've had on previous visits. It was a little light on the buffalo sauce and could have been warmer. The fries weren't very crispy either. The portion sizes were huge though so I boxed up over half my meal to take with. Overall a very cost effective spot for dinner, but not the best Cheddars visit I've had. read more

A strong 5 stars for Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen. It feels like one of the better options on the list and a place I'd recommend with confidence. This would stay high on my short list. read more

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! read more

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 ‍ read more

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! read more

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. read more

Food is good! Floor servers help each other and it's great to see a manager on floor busing tables , serving food . Not just greeting customers. The new Village Point Cheddars is very nice. The only complaint is that Video/Payment Box. On the small tables it takes up a lot of space. Put it on the wall ,or hang it from the table . Another idea is have servers bring it out with bill slip.!! Thanks read more

Staff is nice and food is as expected. Flavor is good. Have only been once and not sure if I'll be back again but that's because it's a little out of my way and can find something similar closer to home. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Took my fiance's grandmother out for memorial day lunch at cheddars and we had the best experience. From the kind and patient host and servers, the warm crossiants, and cheap meals. Each meal was around $9 which anymore can barely get fast food for $9. The food was tasty, warm, and quick with no rush finishing our meal or ordering more than we want. Maybe it was luck of the draw but was definetly my best cheddars expierence yet. At this quality of food and service for price, we will definitely come again. read more

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. read more

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!! read more

Cheddar's is our normal spot we stop into for a bite when we're doing a Sam's Club run. It's been consistently good for us, feels a bit upscale even though it's on the more affordable side, and the staff is superb and always cheery and helpful! On our last visit, we had Victor as our server, and he was so pleasant and attentive, even on the busy Sunday we were there. We let the manager know how great Victor was and we heard them clapping for him in the back, which made me glad to know those little compliments don't go unheard :-) Each meal always starts with some fluffy warm croissants that are covered in drizzles of honey butter glaze. These are like a dessert almost, the honey butter is so good! You get two complimentary croissants, but you can also purchase two more for $2 in the appetizers menu, if you want more. Speaking of apps, our favorite is the Wisconsin Cheese Curds, which come with a house made ranch sauce for dipping. They are so incredibly tasty with their slight crunch and the creamy ranch adding a nice tang to each bite. I've had many cheese curds around town, and the thing I like about Cheddars' is they are not gigantic and impossible to eat in bite-size morsels. For entrees I usually get either the Monte Cristo sandwich (which comes in a fried little shell) or the salmon with bourbon glaze (and I ask for extra sides of the bourbon sauce - it's that good!) The salmon comes atop a bed of rice and you're able to choose two sides. My favorite of the side items are the broccoli cheese casserole and the buttered off-the-cob corn. I add my corn onto my plate, and it mixes with the rice a little and creates a new little divine concoction! My husband's favorite entree is the Caesar Pasta Salad, which is a normal Caesar salad, expertly dressed, and has lemony grilled chicken, but the difference between Cheddar's and other Caesar salads, is that this one also has pasta weaved throughout it! I don't know what genius thought this up, but it just works and you can't even convince yourself you really know why. Even though Cheddar's is a "chain" restaurant, the quality does not suffer for it, and you feel right at home with how welcoming and cheerful the staff are. If you're looking for a restaurant that's laid back but a little more upscale feeling, and super delicious but very affordable, definitely give Cheddar's a try! read more

Went here for the first time about a week ago with my family after family photos. I firm exactly know what to expect but the Buffalo Chicken wrap looked very good to me. The serving size was great and the food was very filling and I ended up with a to-go box. The service was amazing and our server was very professional. The place was packed a little tight and also very busy but it seemed like a good environment. The manager of the place was also going around making sure everyone's food and service was up to standard. Pricing was also very good with a lot of options. Good experience overall. Would go back. read more

Service and ambiance were great. No complaints. Super cool fish tank and game pad at the tables. Mom enjoyed her chicken wrap and I got the country fried chicken and house salad. Salad was great. No onions which was different but no other complaints. However, this is the second time I've been to a Cheddars location (it's been years since my first visit) and I just do not like their chicken. It was cooked completely but the texture was so strange that I checked it multiple times. The flavor was a little off too, but it may have been my imagination due to hating the texture. I don't know how to explain it other than feeling like what I imagine undercooked chicken would be like (but I want to be clear, it was NOT undercooked). Anyway, my mom enjoyed hers (and I tasted it and it had the same texture) so it might not be an issue for everyone. read more

Wife and I came in today for lunch. The chicken fried chicken and the chicken fried steak were absolutely perfect. Wife loves the broccoli casserole I'm more a mashed potato and gravy person, the sides were excellent too. Really clean booth, fast friendly service all in all a really nice lunch. I really like the mini-kiosk that they have on the table for us to use, really expedites checking out and really simplifies notifications to your waitress or waiter should you need them for anything. read more

I've been to Cheddars a few times and although the quality is not top-of-the-line, they always serve a great meal for the price. This is one of the most affordable dining experiences for what you get--a versatile menu, great meal, classy aesthetic, and good service. The complimentary honey butter rolls are the best part I've heard--I sadly was not hungry enough for mine. The salmon was slightly over cooked in my opinion, but blackened well. The sweet cooked carrots were my favorite part! Broccoli was well cooked as well. Overall a very balanced meal, and just what I was looking for and expecting. I would definitely come back for a lunch, and will be sure to try to rolls! read more

It was nice to have a family dinner on a Tuesday evening without a wait, even though we sat in the bar (which is usually no wait). We had a party of 10 so we were happy they were able to accommodate us! Our server was pretty busy, but he made his way over to us to get our drink order right away. Even when someone came late, he was quick to greet them & get a drink for them. Got to love that! I tried the full rack of ribs & let me tell you, they were Fantastic!!!!! They have a good amount of sauce & tender meat on the bones!! I will order this every time! There's plenty of choices on the food & drink menu for everyone in the family to order what they like. I'm excited I heard they're opening a 2nd location in West Omaha! read more

Amazing service, great food, and had a good time. the parking lot was really full but for such a small waiting time.

I'm not going to say too much here, but I was disappointed. The ribs were dry and overdone, and the meals were thoroughly disappointing. This gets a 2-star review because the honey butter rolls were excellent. I don't expect to be making another trip out here. read more

Cheddar's was so delicious! We went there for Mother's Day for the first time ever. My husband ordered the chicken fried steak. I ordered the ribeye. And we ordered a Junior burger for our baby. We also had onion rings as the appetizer. The batter on the onion rings was homemade (not from frozen) and freshly fried up. The ribeye was cooked perfectly. My husband loved the chicken fried steak. The bread they served with this honey sweet glaze was amazing, too. The service wasn't the best. And that's why I'm rating it a 4. Our server just didn't seem like she wanted to be working on Mother's Day, which I understand, but still, you got to enjoy what you do or don't do it. The atmosphere was fun and the ambiance was nice. We would definitely go back for the food! read more

Chili's and/or Applebee's in disguise. I guess anyplace can call themselves a "scratch" kitchen without actually making anything fresh or house-made. The 7 oz Filet was medium-rare in the middle but well-done everywhere else. The baked potato had some weird seasonings on it (not good). This was the first time for me to have gristle on a filet. My dad's ribeye (14oz) was half gristle. The pasta and shrimp dish was underwhelming. The carrot cake was good. The salad was good also. read more

Cheddar's is a go-to for comfort food while not breaking the bank on price. They Their menu has a variety of options from chicken, to salads, to burgers and ribs. The vibe reminds me of what Applebees used to be - very family friendly. We dined in on a Saturday afternoon for lunch, so no problem getting in and the service was top notch! However, if going for dinner, expect a wait. Now to the reason for 4 stars: the food. Honestly, it tasted fine. Nothing was wrong with our meal. But that's the thing, it was just "fine". To me, 5 stars is when you wow someone from start to finish. The food was a slight let down to be honest. My wife and I both ordered burgers. She had a side salad and I had fries. The burgers were cooked to a medium well (that's their standard) but were just decent. The fries definitely needed a little something extra. A little oil, salt, or something to make them not so bland in my opinion. My son loved his grilled cheese, but even that to me was just average (and I've tried a lot of grilled cheeses in 3 years lol). Overall, I'll give it another try for something else in their menu because the service was great and the restaurant was perfect for families. read more

I want to Cheddar's for the first time. Was hoping to have a enjoyable dinner? I ordered a rack of ribs. They were not hot or warm enough to really enjoy. They were also very salty too much so I couldn't eat more than three. Potato was also too salty. French fries were good. When I mentioned it to the waitress as we were leaving. He stated that if you would have let me know I would have reheated them. But still I would not have eaten them because of the salt. So I gave them to my son as leftovers. He used to cook for a high quality restaurant here in town. He even said they were too salty for his taste. But he ate them anyway. He did mention that the barbecue sauce was good and the meat was fall off the bone. My friend's meal was good for the most part. Carrots were cold. So it's safe to say I probably won't be going back there. Hey Bridget s. You suggested I go somewhere to give you more information or something? When I pushed to go to that area. It took me nowhere. So I cannot reply to your comment. Just hope you get this message that I added to the original? I don't have my receipt. The waitress was good. The only thing was in the middle of the meal no one came to see if everything was okay? I didn't make a fuss because that's just the way I am. read more

Came here on a Saturday evening at around 4:00 p.m. and with a little sad when the wait was for 20 minutes. Almost left to get fastfood instead, but then I thought of asking if I could just take some plain steamed broccoli and found out they have a to-go counter which serves food really quick! Got four orders of the steamed broccoli, kids grilled chicken meal and blackened salmon. The broccoli was actually perfectly steamed and tasted delicious. I only wish they didn't add the garlic butter on there because it just added so much fat. Cook was great otherwise. I had the kids meal grilled chicken and really liked it. The chicken was perfectly cooked, slightly on the salty side, but went really well with the rice and broccoli together. I also asked for the side salad which came with the meal. Favorite part about that side salad was the croutons! Overall a really good meal and everything went well together. My boyfriend had the blackened salmon with a side of mashed potatoes and green beans. Salmon was perfectly cooked and he loved it! Even those mashed potatoes were so smooth and then gravy was just amazing! I tried some as well and really wanted more! He enjoyed the green beans as well and just finish the meal so quick I didn't have any time to try too much haha. We ended the lunch with the honey butter glazed croissants! That glaze was just beautiful! I just had most of that that glaze plain and really enjoyed the croissant. It was super soft and buttery but not as flaky as I was expecting .It might have been a bit stale and from an old batch. I'm sure a fresh one would have been really good though. read more
