    Complimentary rolls

    We came in sat at the bar. I ordered draft blue moon husband go Stella both cold and good. Bartender was attentive but didn't listen to order. I ordered cheeseburger medium and side salad instead of fries. She didn't put in substitution came with fries. Burger was not medium. New Orleans pasta was flavorless and very watery. We will not return.

    Service sucks manager sucks I understand it was a holiday (mother day) but the bad experience started with the waitress taking a long time to take our order then forever to bring napkins after a drink had spilled the store manager was no help rudely acknowledged us when asking for napkins because the drink spilled then came the food the they are known for well it was dry and tasted more like rotel sauce the little sauce that was in there Atleast so I sent that back and asked for a medium rare steak to go New Orleans Pasta

    Great food and service. This place is such a bargain for the quality and quantity of food. The chicken fingers are always good. One kiddo enjoyed the chicken pot pie and broccoli cheddar casserole. Two of us had fish and shrimp--one grilled and one fried. Both good. We tried the red beans and rice for the first time and it was busting with flavor. The red beans and rice were better than any we had in New Orleans a few weeks ago. My only compliant is that the dining room was freezing. Take a jacket and a blanket with you, especially in the summer.

    Honey butter croissants

    Decent Cheddar's location, but they definitely cut corners compared to other locations we've been to. One example of this was on their cocktails, which are pictured in big glasses with fruit garnish, but here they looked pretty disappointing when we received them. The previous location we went to in Arkansas made it just like the menu photo! Service was meh, but it was pretty busy on a Friday night, so that probably was out of the server's control. The food came out hot and fresh and was good. Overall, Cheddar's is still a great spot compared to most other chain restaurants!

    Chicken Alfredo

    This is the second time I have eat at Cheddar's and it will be my last. The first time was right after they opened. The only thing good at this restaurant are croissants. I ordered the Chicken Alfredo. The pre-marinated grilled chicken was too salty and the pasta was dry. It had very little sauce. The garlic toast was burned and very hard. The waitress replaced my order and it was not any better. The chicken was replaced with pulverized non battered chicken tenders. Absolutely no taste. The garlic bread, once again, was burned. My mother ordered the bourbon glazed salmon. It was dried out, like it had been sitting under a heat lamp. They brought out another order which was a lot better. My sister ordered the potato soup. It was very salty and the cheese was so thick you couldn't find the potatoes. The waitress was amazing. She did a fantastic job and was tipped well. Whoever the cook is, needs to replaced with someone who cares. I just wish I had taken more pictures.

    Sirloin and shrimp with loaded baked potato

    Stopped in from out of town. Been to other Cheddars locations before with good results. This location was below average. Clean and somewhat friendly service. Bathrooms in disrepair. Server was nice but didn't have much good to say about the menu when asking questions. I decided on the sirloin, medium, with grilled shrimp, house salad and loaded baked potato. Salad and meal arrived together; not a huge problem but I believe most of us would like it in advance. Steak served closer to rare then medium. Shrimp had good flavor but was ok at best; it was cool almost room temp. Baked potato was good. Overall it was just ok. I expected more from my previous experiences at other locations, but I will not return to the location.

    Everything's fine, but for crying out loud, don't order the meatloaf. It tastes like dried-out dog food.

    From the moment we were running late, to the moment we left, everything was just right. My husband…read morehad made reservations for us and his parents, but as life goes, we were running a few minutes behind, so we called and let them know, and the lady who answered was very kind and told us not to worry. (This was a 4:30 reservation when they were not as busy.) They seated us at a table that accommodated the four of us perfectly. I should add that my father-in-law was in a wheelchair, and the ladies were quick to adjust the table settings for us so that he would fit comfortably. Our waitress, Roxy, was just as helpful as a server. My father-in-law also has dementia, so ordering for him at restaurants can at times be very tricky. She was ever so patient and suggested some items that could work for him based on what my mother-in-law shared are things he usually will eat with ease. But hospitality and service are only part of the reason you go to a restaurant, because let's face it, if the food were bad, who cares how nice everyone is. In this department, they were also on point. Roxy explained the menu changes seasonally. We dined on July 3, peak summer. I should also add that I am 7 weeks pregnant, and so I need to be careful with what I am consuming. To drink, I had an orange glow - with cardamom, lemon, orange, and strawberry (and the only item I remembered to photograph - blame it on how delicious the food was or on my pregnancy brain). It was refreshing and sweet, without being too juice-like. My mother-in-law ordered a moscato and my husband had a blond ale. We all consumed our beverages in their entirety before the end of the meal. I'll add here that the young lady who went around refilling waters was extremely on point. If our glasses were halfway emptied, she came around and filled them (which with how much water I'm currently intaking, she came by quite a bit). To start, we ordered their garlic yeast rolls. It comes with a garlic butter which you can add to the rolls, but let me tell you how it doesn't need the extra butter (though it is mighty delicious). I could live in those rolls. They were flaky and buttery, like a croissant, but in a yeast dinner roll. If it's on the menu when you go, please do yourself a favor and order. There are 4 to an order. My husband and I shared the 4th one, and I would have ordered another set of 4, but at that point I would have just been eating with my tastebuds and not my actual stomach. But they *are* that good! My husband and I both ordered the filet. I can't eat anything cooked less than medium, though I'm typically a medium rare girl, and let me tell you - it was still juicy and delicious, a sign of a chef who knows how to cook a good steak. The black garlic butter was heavenly. The steak was a bit too seasoned for me (but pregnancy taste buds are something else). My husband ordered it medium well, and he loved it (and he's only recently come around to enjoying a nice piece of red meat). They came accompanied with a celeriac potato au gratin which was perfect - not overly cheesy, and the celeriac (first time eating this) was perfectly sliced. My husband also ordered the cheese grits and collard greens. The grits were a whipped-like texture, soft and creamy. The collards were not something I could stomach. Blame it on those pregnancy taste buds again. My mother-in-law also ordered collards and they both loved them. For me, the vinegar was just too much to handle. My mother-in-law opted for the ribeye, medium rare with the broccolini, and she said it was "scrumptious, delicioso, and magnificent (in a French accent)." As delicious as it was, she and I could not finish our meals, so we asked for a to-go boxes. Roxy packaged them up for us, and labeled each box with what it contained and when it was packaged. Of course, when it came time for dessert, we were beyond full, but we ordered a prickly pear sorbet to share. And it was just what was needed to cleanse the pallet after such a flavorful meal. The coconut mousse was light and airy and paired well with the sorbet. If you're in the mood for some good southern fusion in Pensacola, Iron is the place to try.

You can make a meal with a something similar to a bowl of ramen, or get tapas. We opted for tapas, 2 per person is about enough for a normal meal portion. In order of my preference, we ordered the following: 1. Ribs. The ribs were out of this world, and I don't even like ribs. They had a ginger, soy/teriyaki flavor, lots of tender meat, so good I used the sauce with the fries. 2. Tuna tacos. They were present as large chunks of seared tuna with excellent toppings, and hard shells. I would have preferred soft tacos, but still excellent. 3. Bao chicken bao cow. Very good, 2 steamed buns with meat and veggies, similar to a mini banh mi. 4. Ceviche. Good, but a very small portion, enough for 5-6 bites, not with the price per portion. 5. Duck fries. Good flavor, but no longer offered with poutine, which is what made it stand out in the first place. Not very original compared to other dishes. My wife also bought the kiss of the prom queen drink, which was extremely tart, which she loved and I hated ha. Mandy was our server, very friendly and genuine with perfect recommendations. We brought our baby too, no high chairs available, but we brought our own portable one.
