    I've been to this Cheddars location before but it has been well over 10 years since then. So, I was pleasantly surprised on my visit back. The monte cristo sandwich was just as a remember - super tasty! & the Portions were such a good size and for the price you can't beat it!

    Grilled White Fish

    Im not exactly sure why the ratings for this place is low, but we dined in on a Saturday around 1230 pm and had a great experience. Our server was attentive, food came out on time. Would recommend the spinach dip, better than others that Ive tried. Got the grilled white fish- nothing too special about that, bit too salty for my liking. I tried my brother's order of ribs and I liked the flavor and how soft it was. My son almost finished his cheeseburger which doesnt happen too often. Overall, the menu prices are pretty good actually, considering that most meals had two sides. And dont forget the fresh croissants they give out! Taking out a star because it was so easy for my son to purchase a game on the Zoosk tablet.

    We were in the Embassy Suites San Antonio Landmark area, so we visited @cheddarskitchen for lunch yesterday. Love the complimentary Honey Croissants. Dad and I shared the Ribs and Shrimp with mashed potato and a side salad. Hubby had the Country Fried Steak with mashed potato and corn. The ribs were tender. Both dishes were decent and Sahara got us in and out of there in no time. If you need some lunch in the area, go check it out!

    Tonight we decided to go to Cheddar's. This is my first time being here. I was really impressed with the decor it's very warming and has a nice feel. It has a fish tank in between the bar and dinning area. They gave us buttered croissants we ordered the queso chips and salsa. Chips were okay and the salsa was good the queso reminded me of nacho cheese. I ordered the half rack of ribs with chicken tenders. I also got the side Caesar salad. My wife got the grilled chicken Alfredo. The salad was good with a decent amount of dressing the croutons were very good. The ribs were all off the bone and a good size the portions weren't small at all which was nice and we had left overs. Our waitress was super nice and friendly. She made sure that we were well taken care of.

    Caesar Caesar Pasta Salad with Salmon; peach tea; and honey butter croissants

    Excellent! Just excellent! I had to order from out of town for another person. The order went in at 9:15pm, to be ready at 9:38pm. I worried because when a restaurant is due to close 20 minutes after your meal pick up... Well, usually that means old end-of-the-day scraps. The young lady who brought it to the car was very nice. This meal was par excellence. Even the croissants were warm. Thank you for such good service and food.

    I'd avoid the burger though because it didn't seem like it was made from fresh, quality ground beef.

    Their burgers were not good at all. The patty seemed like it was a frozen patty and not made from fresh ground beef. However, my friends fried fish fillets were very moist and tasty.

    Butter croissant

    Came here to eat and had a drink with my classmates after our final exam. Love the food here! Their shrimps are perfectly cooked as always. I especially came here for their watermelon margarita! And of course their butter croissant is amazing! Our server is very nice and friendly. I always have a nice experience in this location.

    Signature Soup - Baked Potato Soup
    Katlyn P.

    So I read the reviews of this Cheddar location before entering to eat. I was craving some soup and wanted to just have a quick meal. Upon entering, we went right around 11am yesterday. It wasn't busy at all which was nice. I told my waiter that I came in just to have some bowls of soup. She kind of seem irritated at me because we just wanted soups. Once my soup was finished, I wanted to eat something light. So I used the kiosk and ordered a kids Alfredo Pasta. My waiter comes back and explains to me that she got in trouble from me ordering a kids meal. She explains this to me as she gives me my pasta. She said the manager wrote her up because customers cannot buy pasta if they are under 12. After all this commotion, I didn't eat the pasta. It really rubbed me the wrong way because the manager should have come to talk to me about it and not the waiter. My waiter didn't do anything wrong, plus every one is short staff. This lady is here trying to work and make a living too. Plus the whole purpose of ordering off a kiosk is to make it easier for the waiters! So I was curious and I went to see if Anyone could order off the kids menu through the app. YOU CAN! So pretty much anyone can order of this menu at anytime without knowing if you are under 12. I am a Cheddars fan and I just wouldn't come back to this location in particular.

    We went back to Southerleigh for Restaurant Week last weekend. For $30, you got an appetizer,…read morechoice of main course, and a dessert. In my experience, Restaurant Week dishes were normally smaller portions, but not at Southerleigh! We ordered 3 Dinners and had enough for another two meals, and every bite was incredible. Chicken Cracklins: How these were not in a pool of grease and were perfectly crispy and seasoned was impressive but not a surprise, because Southerleigh knows how to fry chicken! Deviled Eggs: They're the devil because I could eat 12 of them and have no regrets. Creamy, nice bit of bacon on top, and absolutely delicious. Fried Pickles (GF): Y'all. I've never had fried pickles like these before. Perfectly crispy and not even a little greasy. Ranch was delicious, special sauce excellent. I could eat those fried pickles every day - my doctor would love it. Half Chicken (GF): Outstanding. I'm forever amazed but how good this GF chicken is. Unreal. 10/10. Chicken Wings: Fried Catfish: If you have a friend whose faces squishes up in disgust when you suggest fried catfish, take them here and get them this fish. Remoulade was perfect. But the crust on that fry and how light it was + how non-greasy or heavy that fried catfish was...there are no words. I could have eaten that catfish all day. What a treat! Top it off with great, friendly service amidst being sat with multiple tables at once, a wonderfully clean restaurant, and just another top notch experience, and I have decided that I'll need to bar myself from Southerleigh for a minute because I can only buy so many new pairs of bigger pants. Go and enjoy this comfort food, GF or not!

That said, the food didn't quite meet expectations. Having spent considerable time in Louisiana, I've had solid Cajun and Creole cooking, so I'm coming in with a fair point of reference. The 1/4 chicken was mostly breading with not much substance underneath. The okra came out cold, and the gumbo was uneven-part of it hot, part of it not which made it feel more reheated than freshly prepared. Service was courteous, but a bit inconsistent in terms of attentiveness. I'm sharing this in the spirit of wanting the restaurant to improve, because it has a lot going for it. With more consistency in the kitchen and a bit more focus on execution, it could be a much stronger experience.

Checked Yelp for dinner suggestions so Doc drove us to the paid lot next to where all the Cinderella lit up carriages drawn by horses were lined up. It seemed the boats going up and down the River portion of the Walk were busier. While we were walking I had my eyes open for a table with a view. We stopped at Four Brothers. The receptionist went over suggestions on the menu on her outdoor podium. Cornbread in the shape of Texas, shareable items like Dino ribs for $82, plus Pork Shank and ice tea completed our order. Everyone was very friendly. We had an exceptional view and we had more than enough food that we had to ask for take out boxes. My favorite was the Mac & cheese though I'm usually not a fan. This dish used cork screw shaped pasta and it was moist and not stuck together. I had to share a photo of it with Sweetie who is in Tokyo right now. Doc liked the pimento for the cornbread. As it was almost 9 pm we decided to pass on the boat ride but just walk on the other side with shops and more eateries. We're back on the road again tomorrow to Arizona.

Y'know it's impossible to find street parking especially on the weekends normally. I had made reservations to meet some friends here for brunch/lunch 1145 am on a Sunday. This place is bigger than it looks! There's seating at the main building, plus a huge outdoor patio seating area, and an entire other building beautifully decorated. The hostess was welcoming and friendly and our server was excellent. We were seated in the other building near the windows. The menu wasn't huge, but just right with a few lunch and brunch items. After debating for a while of what to order, I decided on the Texas Gulf Shrimp plate. Agua Fresca of the day per our server was strawberry pineapple. Our server was able to water mine down slightly- since it was very sweet, but love knowing that it was freshly made. Complimentary chips and salsa always a plus, and we were able to order some spicy salsa to accompany at no charge. My shrimp plate was delicious! 2 skewers of nicely cooked and seasoned shrimp atop salsa with perfectly cooked cilantro rice and a fresh leaf salad. A half slices avocado accompanied my plate. Oh how I love avocados. I thoroughly enjoyed my plate. The chicken al carbon was also a good choice - half a chicken that was juicy, not dry. The avocado toast was beautiful and the pecan salsa was quite interesting. The female performers during our brunch in the room, made it very hard for all of us to have conversations. The volume echoed loudly in the room, so it was very hard to speak and understand each other. Although a great idea, maybe outdoor patio area might be more suitable. Beautiful space, great service, good food.

It is the perfect stop after showing friends and family the Alamo and the River Walk before heading back home. Just be prepared for a line because every time we have gone, there is usually one. It moves, but it is definitely part of the experience. Our go to items are always the lip smacking brisket. We order a pound of regular and a quarter pound of lean. Both are tender and flavorful. The ribs and sausage are also solid choices. For sides, we rotate between the well seasoned green beans, mac and cheese, beans and okra. All of them are excellent and you really cannot go wrong. Side note. I am not a fan of their corn. I prefer corn that leans sweet rather than spicy, so it is not my favorite. Next time I go, I already know what I want to try.

It was my first visit to this restaurant and to be honest, I was a bit disappointed with the service. I wasn't immediately acknowledged. They ran out of everything I planned to purchase between the time I called and drove to the restaurant from the airport (short ride). The area where the condiments are stored was not as clean or organized as it should have been for a restaurant. There seemed to be enough staff to take care of it while I was there. Staff I came in contact with were nice and acknowledged with a smile when I was at my table. There is an area before arriving to the restroom that was not as clean as it should have been. The garbage can was running over with trash. Atmosphere: Loud, joyful, and family friendly environment. I met a family who were looking for a place to sit. I invited them to sit with me and it was great! I will be back the next time I am in the San Antonio area. I'm thinking positively . If you're in the area, check them out and give them a try. I did and I don't regret it. My next visit will be better.

The wings were good, but I still can't rationalize $12 for 6 tiny wings... but again good flavor and well cooked. And the fries were solid - crispy and hot and well seasoned. Would go back again and get the slider and fries and try more stuff.
