Wow! Just popped in here unexpectedly last night and was reminded how much we loved cheddars when we lived in Lincoln. We had food, great prices, and great service from Brent. We walked in around 5:30 on a Thursday and got seated right away in a booth by the bar. Food came out quick, and had 0 issues. We will definitely be back soon! read more

My dad and I love going here, and for me it's for the salmon. It comes with a bourbon sauce that is sooo good and they do a good job most of the time cooking it to the right tenderness!! I got it with the green beans this time and I don't think I'll be choosing those again. Ohh and before your meal they bring out a free appetizer that's basically a dessert with a sweet butter style frosting, and OMG are they good!! If you've seen any of my reviews on here, you know what dessert as an appetizer means to me. It's the key to my heart!! I honestly don't remember what everyone else got for their meals, so I can't say much about those. Overall, I'm a fan of Cheddars and I'll keep coming back! read more

I haven't been here in a few years because I did not much care for the menu. The menu has changed and there were some great choices. The blackened salmon was pretty good and the steamed broccoli was top notch. Service was a little slow but with it being hard to find enough workers and the place being packed, I give them a pass. This is a nice place to have a peaceful dinner. read more

Their buttery croissants are soft & tastey. Plus they have great burgers made just right & how you like them.

I've been there a few times. I'm 60 years old and didn't have my id with me. Refused to serve me. Jerks

If you are looking for a menu that has something for everyone, this place has you covered. There are loads of down home menu options. It's not a place to go if you are on a diet. There are too many delicious distractions. The wait staff was playful and fun. Overall the food was great. The only minor deduction was the complimentary honey butter croissants. They were hard and clearly not fresh. If you have a picky crowd or a hungover crowd this place wins. read more

I had found a hair in my food, and of course, with how packed the resteraunt was, certain things are unavoidable. I was devasted, seeing how it is one of my favorite spots and was hesitant to make a big deal out of it. The manager and server were both so exemplery! My meal was covered, I had gotten a discount, against my better judgement! Since, they were always so hospitable and food and ambiance were always so wonderful, I wasn't so keen as to being that person! But, everyone was so warm, and sweet! Definitely a great spot, I recommend it still to anybody! read more

Ordered the chicken pot pie for curbside delivery. The estimated wait time was right on the button, food was hot and delicious when I got home. Highly recommend this restaurant. read more

I am very impressed with the food at this restaurant. I am familiar with this chain back in Illinois. However, it has been a few years since I have been to a Cheddars. After a little vacation in this town, I am glad to have returned. My wife, in-laws and I attended this location for an earlier dinner. Parking was plenty and the location was easy to find. The restaurant was clean and the service was friendly. For appetizers, we got the honey butter croissants, and some cheese curds. Both were delicious. I love a good croissant, but my first time eating it with honey butter. I am addicted to this! The cheese curds were good with a side of ranch. I enjoyed this appetizer as well. I ordered the Chicken Fried Steak with a side of mashed potatoes and corn. I was very impressed with the amount of food because the steak was as big as the plate. Mashed potatoes and corn was amazing. Overall, the food was good. Serving size was huge, and the service was friendly. I am sure to be back in the future if I am ever to return back to Omaha. read more

I went in for an interview, having 26 years in the industry. I was interviewed by one of the rudest individual that I have ever experienced in my career . I would not recommend anyone taking a job at the new Village Pointe location. Terrible read more

Food in general was good, but my steak had enough peppercorns for three steaks. Service was great except where they seated us was the thoroughfare for the servers. Too noisy even for the waitress to hear our order,generally not an enjoyable experience. The young girl taking reservations was very rude and better suited for a receptionist at a junk yard!! I really think they could and should work on the acoustics!! read more

The sirloin steak option with baked potato and broccoli was delicious. The steak was perfectly cooked to my preference. The broccoli and baked potato were cooked properly as well. Hard to beat this place read more

Food was excellent . Ribs were tender and flavorful. Service was ok. Had to ask her for a few things. Ambiance was nice and enjoyable. read more

First visit to Cheddar's and I wasn't expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised! The warm honey butter croissant was a nice touch. The chips and queso was amazing and the portions for the price are great. For my entree I got the chicken fried chicken and it was so juicy and good quality chicken. The sides I got were the broccoli casserole and the mashed potatoes. The casserole was average but good and the potatoes hit the spot. Our server was nice and the food was out quick. No complaints! read more

Cheddars is a great family restaurant with excellent food choices on the menu and very, very reasonably priced. All of our food choices turned out wonderful. Food was cooked to perfection and tasted great! Staff is friendly and our waiter did a fantastic job with a large party of 10. We sat in the bar area on a Tuesday evening, and had great service. Most evenings and weekends get very busy. They do not take reservations or Call Ahead Seating. read more

I had a great experience here. I ordered the ribeye steak with a salad and broccoli. The steak came perfectly cooked which is super surprising as I haven't had great luck in my recent past. The server was great and my drink was never empty...I drink pretty quickly. The atmosphere is the same as usually, slightly darker than most restaurants but I do like the relaxing feel. Overall a relaxing night with great food and company. read more

Everything was just too much. The bacon cheddar fries had way too much cheese, the cornmeal whitefish was just nasty and the buffalo chicken wrappers looked sick. The meat literally looked like it lost its color, turning blue with the flu or something. Manager was cool and offered anything else but after sending 3 back I'm done. Check please! read more

Spent over 50$ on full racks of ribs and sides. However, the broccoli is so small. It says in their ad on the Cheddar's website that free croissant for each person. However, we should have gotten 3 only got two. Broccoli was supposed to be two orders yet we got one side and it was skimpy. Will never do another take out order. Costs are no different between eating in or take out yet,the portions are much smaller in take out orders. Why? Because technically people are not taking up room to keep others from being seated to pay to eat. So,there's no reason the portion sizes should be different. read more

I have to admit, I really do love coming to Cheddars, I just don't go very often, because going to Cheddars means I need to be ready for a food coma. I like Cheddars because the wait staff is always phenomenal and the restaurant is always busy but it is always clean, you never see dishes piked up somewhere or stuff stacked on the hostess and wait staff stations. Cheddars is always packed, but they have a way of managing the flow of customers, so the wait if there is one isn't too long. However on a Sunday afternoon, mother's Day, Valentine's day, yeah you are going to wait, but it will still not be hours. There is also smokes parking, which is can be is short supply at this shopping center, depending or where you are shopping. The food is always delicious and the menu is quite extensive, though thankfully not as big as the cheesecake Factory. I love their onion rings, they are crispy and not greasy. But the drinks though, if they were closer to me, Cheddars would be my go to happy hour spot. The Texas Sweet pea was soooo good and strong and huge and less than $5, they will only serve 2 per customer, but 1 was more than enough. My date got the pain killer, man that thing was Goooooood and strong. Coconut cream, pineapple juice, the glass rimmed with toasted coconut. Woooweee, I'm in love, this drink also has a 2 per customer limit, but 1 was enough. This drink also was less than $5. Our dinner consisted of 2 drinks, I appetizer, a BBQ Chicken and Ribs dinner with 2 sides and a Grilled tilapia with shrimp dinner and 2 sides for all under $50. That's a great price for so much great tasting food. I will definitely be back. Why not 5 stars you ask? For 5 stars, I have to be blown away. Everything was good and awesome and I highly recommend Cheddars, but I wasn't blown away, as the food is typical American fare, though it is good. read more

Great food and drinks. Nice environment and friendly staff. Their broccoli casserole is the best.

The fries was superb lol I enjoyed the fries and the other people I went with all enjoyed their respective meals I would surely recommend! read more

Our wait staff was lovely. She was professional and attentive. That was the highlight. We were seated in an area that was very loud to begin with. There was a group of women who had no concept of inside voice. Not much anyone could do about that. The food was disastrous. The Alfredo noodles were so over cooked they turned to mush. They brought the wrong hamburger - twice. Never got the actual burger we ordered and the one we accepted had no flavor. On the bright side, the country fried chicken was good. Not great just good. We won't be back. read more

tl;dr "Excellent food and great service once they managed to get started." My wife and daughters got manicures for my daughter's wedding and wanted to add a nice dinner to the event, and they chose Cheddar's. All the food was excellent, beginning with the app trio. New Orleans pasta, Key West chicken and shrimp, bourbon glazed pork chop, and the maple bacon chicken sandwich were our entrees, and each was superb. Kudos to the bar. Mimosas are not listed on the drinks menu, but the three of them were in that mood, and they were served up. Our server, Mike, did a great job, hitting the right balance of engaging us as guests without intruding. It was really puzzling at the very beginning, then, to have waited close to 10 minutes after we were seated before anyone came to the table, and that was after I had alerted the hostess to the problem. I have a suspicion, based on her response, that Mike was called in from the bullpen in relief for someone else. In any case it was the one glaring service breakdown in an otherwise excellent dining experience. read more

I was shocked to see people waiting outside at 5:50pm on a Monday. There was already a waiting list like 5 to 10 parties deep. It's that well-liked. Even then we got seated within 15 minutes, and then enjoyed everything we ordered. Monte Cristo was decadent, honey croissants were addictive as advertised, it was all tasty! It did, however, take an unusually long time to get our drinks. Service overall was somewhere between average to slow, even accounting for how busy the place was. Once the top shelf margaritas arrived they were pretty worth it though. Easily a place we would visit again because the food variety and quality were quite nice, especially for the price. We'll just hope to find a time when it's not quite as busy. read more

Food is always fast once you get seated. Servers are usually great! Wait times are usually long, but they work through pretty quickly!

Food was fast but it was okay. Wouldn't come back on my own but wouldn't be mad if the family decided to eat here for a celebration or something. The drinks are amazing though. Huge and taste very good. read more

3 words... Honey Butter Croissants. They are so flakey and delicious!! The rolls at Texas Roadhouse just can't compare! I always get pasta when i come here. I have found that salmon, steak and chicken as main entrees just is not their specialty. They're usually dry and lacking in flavor. Their pasta however is amazing! read more

Love Cheddars! Always get seated in a timely manner. The honey croissants are delicious and always deliver asap nice and warm! Always enjoy the food and drinks that they offer. The game system on the tables is great for kids to keep them engaged while waiting on food to come out! Sit in the bar area! It's nice and quiet! read more

I've got a few college dudes that I mentor and I saw a deal for free chips and queso... coming to the end of the semester, we decided to drop in instead of our normal coffee routine. It's nicer than what we usually do, but it also doesn't break the bank... Cheddars is a nice looking restaurant and it's always pretty darn busy. You're unable to make reservations online, so you're going to have to try your luck with showing up at the right time. We came in on Monday and we were seated right away. Pretty lucky! We snagged that free chips and queso and it was actually really good. It came with a salsa, and I wasn't as much of a fan of that, but the queso was delicious. We ordered a second round of chips and finished off that appetizer before our food came out. So! Sign up for their E-Club a few days before you come in and get that free appetizer We were served by Nathan and he was incredible. He was vibrant, kind, and holy cow that guy probably walked a mile for our table just to make sure our waters were full the whole time. Great server. I've ordered the chicken fried steak before and really enjoyed it. However, tonight I rolled with the Smokehouse burger and was incredibly underwealmed. I ordered the burger Medium Rare, but it came out Medium Well. It jus seemed to really lack any luster to it and I definitely won't try that again the next time I come back. I asked for some ranch to help out with, but honestly, it's one of the few burgers that I haven't finished in my lifetime. (It might partly be because I had a ton of chips and queso before it came out too.) We were seated quickly, service was phenomenal, free appetizer was great... but it definitely put a damper on the meal when your main course doesn't match the rest of it. If Nathan hadn't been such a great server, this would probably be a 3 star review. read more

I was not impressed at all with their menu selection. Especially when I found out the lunch menu was the same as the dinner meme. And unfortunately the service was not much better. We went for a late lunch and ate at the bar. There were three other patrons. We ordered a bottle of wine and received two glasses out of the already open bottle. Reiterating that we would like the full bottle. Once that was cleared up we ordered an appetizer. We had to ask for water. We had to ask for silverware. They brought out appetizer plates when they saw I was using a cocktail napkin. The food was over seasoned. Overall not a pleasant experience for a first time. read more

I really enjoyed my dinner tonight at Cheddar's. I ate a combination of chicken strips and coconut shrimp, along with dessert (a slice of cheesecake with strawberry coulis). It's been a while since I came back here to eat, but I wanted to mention that Bianca was an awesome server who made sure I was taken care of the entire time and that I was getting what I needed. I don't really post reviews often, but I felt the need to post one tonight for the dining experience. :) read more

O. K. been back a few times, here's the latest. I have been on a quest for the best chicken fingers in Omaha, since I grew tired of the terrible customer service at the Time Out restaurant, I think I have found them at Cheddars! I ordered the Chicken Tender Platter and was not disappointed. Everything was really tasty. The chicken was lightly seasoned and had the right amount of perfectly crunchy -very, very tasty! The broccoli casserole was homemade tasty. Service was also wonderfully pleasant. read more

We were staying in town and had just drove from Denver and picked up our new travel trailer which was right across the street. They recommended to come here as we were just famished. Glad we did!! Ordered on line and even though towing a trailer they had us pull up in front and the very friendly server came out and asked our name. A few minutes later he was back with our meals. He was super friendly and we tipped him for that as well as having to run out in the pouring rain!! We parked in the huge parking lot and just ate in the trailer!! Chicken dinner plate was amazing as were the green beans were to die for. Coleslaw and potato salad were equally amazing. Best choice for dinner and were stuffed and thankful for a great hot meal after a very long day. Then we found out there is one in the town we are having our new house built in here in Arizona!! Holy hell...cant wait to try that one soon!! Definitely recommend this place!! read more

Love this family restaurant. I was surprised of the full bar added here. Will definitely go back!

Enjoyed an awesome birthday meal as my photo would indicate. Wasn't busy at the time of my arrival but my service was on point. I do consider myself a frequent diner so I would definitely recommend. read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Chicken Tenders with grilled Shrimp...steamed rice and broccoli as sides - Comfort Food Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Only giving a 4 because of those AMAZING croissants with the honey butter, the service provided, and my boyfriend's meal. If it was based off of the chicken Alfredo you'd get a 2. I ordered the chicken Alfredo with grilled chicken and instead got Alfredo soup with what seemed to be a microwaved chicken. Nothing about the chicken resembled any "grilling." The Alfredo "sauce" was thin enough to soak completely into my garlic bread. If we decide to go back I'll just get the Monte Cristo my boyfriend got because THAT was delicious. read more

The atmosphere and service was great, but the dish I ordered was lacking. The appetizers and bread were amazing, but my chicken dish has something off. The chickens texture was like plastic, tasted like plastic, and dry as a bone. It didn't even look like real chicken. The sauce was good at least but it was overall inedible. But besides that, it was very good. read more

I went here with a few co-workers yesterday for lunch and it was a great experience. I put in my name for the table of six and we were seated pretty quickly. Hannah was our server and she was awesome. Always smiling and super nice. I ordered the Grilled Salmon, with Bourbon Glaze, broccoli, and red beans and rice. All items were terrific. The salmon tasted extremely fresh and the red beans and rice was just awesome. The table and surrounding areas were very clean and organized. I loved my salmon and would definitely go back to try something else. read more
