The food was amazing here. My girlfriend and I both ordered steaks. They tasted better than most steak houses. The waitress was super friendly, but forgot almost everything we asked for and we had to remind her constantly. It was annoying, but worth it considering how great the food was. read more

Don't go. The service is terrible. Food is ok. Sadly, cookie cutter chain restaurants like Applebees and TGI Friday's smoke this place.

This is a tough review to write. I've eaten at other Cheddar locations and usually have a good experience but this time was a complete disaster. I travel and sometimes chain restaurants offer consistency that I can appreciate, but not this time. Sat at the bar and the bartenders were busy but attentive. Ordered a cocktail and steak dinner, medium. The steak came out completely charred to the point of being charcoal on one side and barely touched by a grill on the other yet cooked beyond well done. I didn't even know this was possible and cut it in half just out of curiosity to find it was indeed cooked completely through. Needless to say I sent it back and asked for another complete steak dinner and let them know I was in no hurry, that I didn't hold the bartender accountable for the error and to take their time. The next dinner showed up 5 minutes later and was as bad as the first. How food can come out of a kitchen so far from what was ordered and make it in front of a paying customer is beyond comprehension. I paid for my drinks and left and will not be back to this location ever again. It's a shame as the other Cheddars I have been to have been much better as far as food goes. read more

The past three times we have attempted to go here and enjoy ourselves something is always wrong. They sent my husband three plates ... none prepared correctly . We just gave up and got a rotisserie chicken from publix on our way home. read more

I love this place but I asked for a medium well burger (no pink) and they brought it to me bloody. When I asked them to remake it they did but gave me the second one they same way (bloody) read more

I think our first mistake was NOT ordering steak. We both had pasta dishes. Our pasta was over cooked and mushy and the blackened chicken was way too salty. The service was great. Our server Naomi was wonderful. We may give it another try just for the steak. read more

Great food but the service we received was OK, our waiter messed up our order a few different times.

this is in regard to the take out service, I have utilized this method on more than one occasion, each time I was placed on hold for an extended period of time, was told what time to pick up food only to have to wait for it further, this last time which was last Thursday 05/24/2018 I ordered two items, only to get there and be told that the order was not sent to the kitchen, I had to wait an additional 25 mins for it to be done, and was only given a 25% discount. The staff was very dismissive as well as the manager. read more

A definate go to place. Went with family service was great! I had the fish tacos which was excellent, hubby ribs and shrimp he said delish, sis in law had steak and shrimp and brother had steak. No complaints all of us just loved our food. We also had appetizers which were delish and drinks overall we agreed we will be going back. I loved this place! read more

Disappointing experience at this location. 1. Service was extremely slow. 2. Waited 15-20 minutes for cocktail. Once it arrived, waitress said bar was backed up and hoped the drink was ok and if it wasn't she'd have another one made. Drink was fine but I would think your staff would feel more confident in what they are serving. 3. Waited over 30 minutes for tilapia and burger. Burger was fine but fries were lukewarm at best. Tilapia was served without sides. Person that brought it said she would be back with broccoli. Se never returned and we had to ask waitress for broccoli and coleslaw. She returned with the broccoli and informed my Mother that they were out of coleslaw and offered a replacement. 5 more minutes before the rice was served. 4. Waitress (Rachel) was either extremely tired, uninterested and frustrated or heavily medicated. 4. As we were leaving I stopped by the hostess stand and asked for a comment card and got a blank stare from all 4 hostess/waitresses. I was told they did not have a comment card but I could write something in the phone message log book or even better, post something on Facebook. Clearly, this group of young ladies need training on proper customer service. Correct response if someone is asking how they can make a comment about your place of business is "Please let me get a manager for you". Highly unlikely I will return as there a many choices to dine and the only real thing that separates any business is how you treat your customers and unfortunately, my experience with your staff left a little to be desired and I think it might be the norm based on other comments on Yelp. read more

Go here very often- very rarely had bad service or bad food. Highly recommend. Gets very busy sometimes so be prepared to wait.

Food is always good but not always fresh. I have had to send things back. They always make it right. Service isn't bad but it is slow...

Terrible service. Greasy country fried steak. Cold potatoes. Will not be back. We complained about food and never saw a manager.

Clean, nice atmosphere, and good service. The food was good and the extra large booth fit six of us very comfortably.

Great affordable food. Friendly staff. The wait time is a bit long during popular times, and one time the food came out cold but that's because so many people are there and it's so popular. Once they work out the issue of speeding up the service without sacrificing the quality in food it would be perfect. I would definitely go here again!! But during lower peak times. read more

Enjoyed meals twice in last week. Both times service was good and food very good. Especially enjoyed the mini key lime desert. Will be back for morr read more

Got ribs and sirloin and it came with 2 sides for 15.99 which was very good price for the amount of food. The ribs were fall off the bone delicious. Only down side was they were actually over staffed in my opinion. We were asked 3 times how big our party was, "hello it's 2" not that hard. Also just surrounded by staff everywhere you walked. read more

This place has really no vegetarian options. But the manager here made us the best spagna ever, its a spaghetti lasagna with home made Marinara and cheese, baked! It is one of the best preparation i have had in long time. I would go there for just this dish! read more

Faaaaaantastic, Casey our waitress was awesome just like the food. Great place, great decor. I reccomend ! Please stop in if you are nearby.

Greasy, salty, overvseasoned. Bacon wasn't cooked and had a bad taste. Service was inconsistent. Burger was not prepared as requested. Some dishes were cold. Stay away. read more

I noted a number of the negative reviews of the restaurant , were followed with a comment from Cheddar s that they were sorry to hear about my service and would like to " reach out" to me personally . I assumed that this was nothing more than a self serving post to make readers feel they care about improving management and service , I followed up with Cheddar s web site . Guess what , more self serving rhetoric , " Thank you for contacting Cheddar s Guest relations. We received your comments. We will forward he on to the appropriate person and the will respond to you ...................." No word yet ! NO " appropriate person " NO " Reach out" pretty much a big nothing . I have had good experiences at other Cheddar s , that why I tried this one twice . My recommendation is don t waste your money on the food or your time making constructive criticism . They simply don t care and just go through the motions , until business drops off , things will not change . read more

Worst restaurant experience of my life. Went into the restaurant the day after Thanksgiving visiting family in the St. Lucie West area. Sat at the table, and a young server named Cayla was taking our order. My fiancé and I each ordered two soups to start. The soups were never brought out. Our main course arrived and the server Cayla asked if we still wanted the soups? We said yes that we wanted the soup. The soups were finally brought out after we finished our main course. Our drinks were never refilled. We just wanted to leave and gave the server my credit card to get me out. Cayla dropped off the credit card receipt, and I signed and left. When I got home to Tampa I realized Cayla did not put the credit card back in the check holder. Took me 15 minutes just to get a hold of a manger named Chris who said he could help me, I verified all my information from the credit card receipt, and gave him my address to mail the credit card back to me in Tampa. I thought that was the end of it until my credit card never came. Chris never contacted me back to tell me that Cheddars had no intention of sending me my card unless I came back in person. I spoke with another manager named Brian Smith who also blew me off. Finally the area manager Kathleen Jones took the corporate line each time saying that there's nothing they can do. Cheddars is horrible restaurant and with all the other options in St. Lucie West do not waster your time. Randy Clunn. Tampa FL. read more

We waited for the first two weeks of the restaurant's just open hype to settle down so we didn't have to wait an hour and deal with kitchen delays. We were seated promptly in a comfortable booth, and were attended to right away for drinks and appetizers. Rachel was our server and she did a wonderful job keeping up considering how busy they were even before the dinner crowd. The ice machine could not keep up with demand, and that's about the only issue I could see during our visit. The kitchen was just a bit slow getting our entree's out but everything arrived piping hot and as a complete order which is worth the wait. As far as the food, the beer battered O-rings (appetizer) were awesome, included two sauces and nicely stacked with enough for four to share. The fried chicken (buffalo style) and shrimp combination platter was tender, and spiced just right. My daughter ordered the Spasagna Dinner, and my wife had the Fried Chicken Dinner. We had plenty of leftovers to take home which we enjoyed the following day for lunch. We enjoyed our visit to Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen and will return as soon as possible. If you're on a family budget, you probably won't be eating there every week, as it's not bargain budget. Keeping that in mind, it is a nice addition to our community that we will enjoy every chance we can. read more

Nothing to write home about. The portions were small and as for home cooking, I would consider it 2 day sticky left overs. I will not return. read more

Had a wonderful lunch yesterday - with awesome service by Steffen. I had the lemon pepper white fish with seasoned rice and salad on the lite menu- it was outstanding! My friend had the grilled chicken pecan salad - with strawberry vinaigrette on the side. She said it was very good and we both enjoyed a relaxed setting in the bar area. I am looking forward to a return visit. read more

My husband and I wanted to try something new since we come every year. The decor is nice and the name intrigued me I was hoping it was more fresh food or farm to table. We found out this a chain restaurant. I was trying to find something healthy to eat but hesitated with the options on the menu. When the waitress took our order I decided on the sweet heat chicken and shrimp. My husband ordered the philly steak sandwich which was ok not great. My meal was the worst ever. I felt kinda bad when the waitress checked on us and I hated my meal and I mean everything on the plate. I told her there was way too much dressing on the salad so she offered and brought me a side salad with dressing. The meal had this disgusting sauce all over the chicken rice and shrimp. I tried to eat the part with the least amount of sauce but it was drenched. The staff was friendly but I won't return because of the food. I found out later this is just another chain restaurant:( read more

We went there last night for my husbands birthday 2/25/2020 . This was our first time here. We waited to be seated and hostess walked so fast I didnt know which way she went. We sit down the waiter comes and takes our drink orders ( sodas) .He takes our appetizer order and brings back 4 croissants. They weren't even cooked all the way through. There was a cold lump of dough in the center and they weren't really warm even though the plate was. We finally get our food after 45 mins and my husbands steak is cold, My daughters chicken strips have no flavor and her fries are very salty. My son's burger was not seasoned and his fries were salty as well. I got chicken alfredo and we joked how they gave me so much I could eat it for days. The chicken had a weird texture to it. like it was boiled or something but not cooked enough. It wasent pink though but it was chewy. The alfredo sauce you could tell was from a jar. it had no flavor to it. To say we are disappointed is an understatement especially since it was my husbands birthday. I doubt we will be back. We went around 8 pm and most people were finishing their dinners so it wasent busy. I don't know why it took so long to get our food. We never saw a manager walking around and at that point my husband just wanted to leave . Whats made from scratch here anyways? all gross food . The greeters were not friendly and the restaurant was full of older people . read more

Cheddars in PSL is a new restaurant in town and the food is outstanding but the wait staff needs to be better trained! It's a crime to wait 45 minutes for an onion ring appetizer! And then, to add insult to injury, the meal was brought to our table just as the appetizer arrived. We inquired of the waitress regarding our appetizer 4 times and each time she said, "I'll check on it." But it wasn't until a table mate sought the manager and complained that both the onion ring appetizer and all meals were brought to the table. The meal was delightful but we were so aggravated at the service provided that we had a difficult time enjoying the meal. We are paying customers and we will take our money elsewhere the next time. read more

Very disappointed, when out for dinner last night, should have left when the two hostesses seemed to be bothered when I asked about how long of a wait for 2. She mumbled something to the other hostess, and picked up menus and flagged me to follow her. We get seated in the corner booth in the bar area, the floor was sticky, and napkins on the floor, our server came over right away and was semi pleasant, we ordered queso which was watery and tasteless, the chips were salty and greasy. We ordered a burger with a side of fries which consisted of about 12 fries for $2.49, and monte cristo, which the outside was hot and the inside was cold and the turkey was grey and lifeless. So nonetheless our waitress dropped our check off didn't even ask if we want dessert at this point I was done. Sad to say we are here before and won't be going back. read more

Four of us went to Cheddars for the first time. We all ordered different meals. Dinner was a huge disappointment and we will never go back. The onion rings were awful. I ordered bbq chicken and ribs. My meal came out cold and i sent it back. The chicken was dry. The cole slaw was okay. I heard they have good burgers. read more

My wife and I stopped in for early dinner on the spur of the moment last Monday. No waiting for seating; server was Michael who made all the difference. He was very polite, professional and extremely friendly; he was there when we wanted him, but didn't hover. His menu suggestions were excellent and the food was served in a timely manner. The area we sat in was very clean and the manager stopped by to see if everything was to our satisfaction. It was. read more

We come to Mets spring training every year but our first visit to Cheddars Scratch Kitchen. We'll definitely be back again. Martinis were excellent, spinach dip delicious, and our entrees (tilapia and shrimp, and redfish) were excellent as well. And...service was great. read more

Very good value and price point. Food is very fresh and portions are above average in size and quality for midpriced chain. I have eaten in others and it is consistent with previous experiences. Since the place is only a month or so old the wait time can be on the long side. I have visited at least three times and had a variety of dishes, most involving chicken tenders, all very good. I feel the staff is very well trained for a new operation and the chain is well run. read more

Came in early like 515pm in hopes of smoother good service. First was forced to sit in bar area despite family meal as hostess said no other tables were available. Order didn't come out right and so one plate comes ten minutes after another along with other small irregularities. Our Server was overwhelmed in Bar area and so didn't actually come to our table for in excess of 30 minutes, nor a basic minimum amount of times to check on us or beverages, but did apologize. Left 6:45pm read more

I was expecting such a great experience, the staff was awesome and did great. The worst part was corporate influenced borderline insulting. Had to wait 1 hour and 15 minutes for a table so We thought what would pass the time and decided on having some cocktails. Arriving at the high tops waiting for our reservation we ordered and then were guided to our table. After sitting down the general manager arrived with waters announcing that we were cut of from having any more drinks. Apparently this company manages with a big brother mentality standardizing their guest drink consumption and determining when they've had enough instead of gauging a guest like they should. How can I say unprofessional. I'm so disappointed and the way they made me and my friends feel after that moment has never happened to anyone I have ever encountered even in some of the worst restaurants I've experience. Listen chedder's executives if you build a full bar and cut guests off based on drink number, which by the way I had three beers, maybe reconsider building the bar at all. If I were the owner I would use it as table space and do beer and wine to expand profitability within my store. I would like to add that after the encounter I had with the GM we cancelled Our FREE MEAL based on the way we were treated. First customer and last, I have never been so shamed publicly. Utterly disappointed. read more

never had a bad experience and the food is consistently phenomenal. servers are always polite and attentive!

First of all, we were so excited to try this place. They weren't busy or anything so we popped in for a quick lunch. We got in at 12:15 and once we were seated... it took 8 minutes before anyone aknowledged us. After we were finally approached... our lunches didn't get to us until maybe 30 minutes later, by then it was cold. The manager didn't seem too interested and the servers were too busy socializing. So disappointed... will never go there again. read more

Well, the water has a funny taste, even with a lemon wedge. The "NEW" dish SPASAGNA I ORDERED WITH MEAT SAUCE WAS ONE OF THE WORST DISHES I HAVE EVER ORDERED. The meat sauce was great. The layers of spaghetti and cheese had no congruent sense of flavor. A mac&cheese dish would have easily surpassed this menu item that should be dropped as not to induce self dieting. We also ordered the 1/2 rack of ribs and chicken with a baked potato and broccoli. The baked potato was not completely cooked and was served cool. The chicken was great as was the broccoli. I realize this is a new new location but come on. They made good on removing the charge for the spasagna and also for my Caesar I forgot to mention was swimming in very good dressing. The staff was very cheerful, accommodating and concerned to make things right which is why I give them still 5 stars since it's rare to find an establishment that cares enough to listen, request feedback and wants to do better. We will be back. read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Comfort Food Near Me - Port St. Lucie, Florida

My husband and I had eaten at Cheddar's in Tennessee and really enjoyed it. I was very happy when I learned that one was opening close to home. Now, to be fair, I've only ever ordered one thing on the menu. When I find something I like, I usually stick with it. I ordered the Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad. Both times in Tennessee it came with a nice serving of grilled chicken. I was very surprised and disappointed when my salad arrived with rolled up lunchmeat instead of the grilled chicken as described on the menu. When I brought it to the waitresses attention I was told that it was shaved chicken. Yeah, shaved chicken from the Publix deli down the street. I recognize it. I've bought lunchmeat before. I actually don't even think it was the lunchmeat that comes from the deli. It tasted more like the packaged kind. It was incredibly salty and absolutely awful. I was glad that I had a bottle of water in my purse because I was thirsty the rest of the afternoon. I've added this one to my Never Again list. read more

4 years in Port Saint Lucie and I can't understand the people here. I can't believe that this place has 3 stars. First of all the atmosphere is great. Great place to hang out have drinks and food at reasonable prices. It's crowed and you have to wait to be seated. It's nothing the management can do about it. Because it's crowed you have to wait for your food to be cooked. Its not McDonald's. Its not gourmet food either so don't expect to taste anything extraordinary. But they don't promise that either. Go there to hang out have dinner with friends and family and don't go just o fill up your tummy. Its a fair restaurant. Anyway people here aren't willing to pay the extra dollar for really good food. That's why all the 5 star restaurants in the area have closed down eventually. I was there last night. The service was excellent, the drinks great and the food above average. Yes I waited 30 minutes to be seated. Yes I waited for 30 minutes for my food but I had good time with my family. read more
