    Trio, 14 oz. Ribeye, mom

    Cheddars quality is still awesome..and the prices are even better. Ethan was our waiter and he provided excellent service. Our food was cooked to our liking and came out fast. The butter croissants are still a staple to this restaurant. The ambiance is quiet and a perfect spot for a family meal!

    Another delicious place in Texas to go eat! The waiter was so attentive With the service being 5 star for sure! They start you of by bringing Honey Buttered croissant to the table! These croissants are amazing...they are so soft and fluffy they practically melt in your mouth! The portions they serve are definitely enough to have left overs and take home for next day or your next meal! Definitely a restaurant worth visiting! And the prices are not bad! I especially like the big fish tank in the front of the tables, gave it a nice ambiance.

    This review is solely for the five service I receive from April. She works the bar & to-go orders. She has been working here for many years and provides nothing less than five star service. She is good at her job & customers love her. Honestly my orders get messed up when she is not working, but she always double checks to make sure her customers are well taken care of.

    Country fried steak with broccoli cheese casserole mash potatoes and gravy.

    Cheddars there are a lot of options you can choose from. We were seated fairly quickly. For appetizers, we tried the trio sampler which was pretty solid, and the honey butter croissants which were flaky and crispy. For my entree, I got the country-fried steak with broccoli cheese casserole and mashed potatoes. Portion sizes were huge, especially for the price. I got the same thing a second time around to go and then it seemed the quality went down a little bit the food was more on the saltier side and the crisp from the batter of the fried steak wasn't there, so a little bit inconsistent. In addition, I tried their smokehouse burger and that was quite good as well. Nontheless, good solid option for a bang for your buck.

    Atmosphere was nice, the ceiling fans were a neat touch. Place is very cold so if you easily get cold, bring a sweater. First off, your server orders your drinks and brings out a crescent drizzled in condensed milk? Whatever it was, it was light and flakey and delicious! They will tell you first one is free, any thereafter are a dollar and some change (didn't hear the exact amount). My niece and I ordered the chicken tenders to share, what a great portion for sharing. We ate every last bite and we're both full. The chicken tenders are very crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The mashed potato with cream gravy and broccoli cheese casserole were perfect accompaniments. My bf had the chicken fried steak with green beans and I didn't hear a word out of his mouth because he was enjoying his food too much! Great service, clean place. Plenty of parking out front. They have a little tablet like device on the table for kids to play video games or watch videos. That same device shows you what they have on their dessert menu as well. I haven't been here in awhile but would definitely return!

    Honey hot chicken with baked potato & coleslaw.
    Natalie T.

    Honey honey chicken was tender, crunchy, & seasoned to perfection. Salmon was tender, flaky, and flavorful. Coleslaw was sweet & delicious. Honey butter croissants were a warm welcome. Whitefish could have cooked a little more and brócoli was tasteless. Overall great experience. Thank you Cheddars! Service was excellent. Lisa was awesome!

    Great breakfast this morning at Main St Bistro after church. This was our second time here…read more Same friendly service in a very comfortable setting. They had a lot of daily specials to choose from. We both ordered from the brunch menu. I ordered The Alamo. A breakfast bowl Cheesy Hash browns, Bacon, Sausage and Ham covered with Gravy and Three Over Easy Eggs. My wife ordered the Le Bistro. Two Scrambled Eggs, Grits Bacon and an English Muffin.

I've been wanting to try Main St. Bistro, so when my sister suggested it for Easter, I was down. We had a party of 7 (5 adults, 2 kids). We got there around 1:00 on Easter Sunday & didn't have to wait long even though it was busy. A man took our drink order. My brother-in-law asked to go ahead & order two appetizers. Our waitress, Natalie, came shortly after, introduced herself & confirmed the appetizers. We were brought 4 small cubes of banana bread, which felt weird since there were 7 of us. My toddler & my niece both had a whole one. The other two were split between 4 adults. My brother-in-law didn't have any. The appetizers came out fairly quickly & were gone just as fast. We finally ordered right at 2:00 after a little wait & indecisiveness. Then my son was done sitting in a highchair. My husband and brother-in-law took the kids outside. They played for a bit & walked two laps around the whole strip center. They came back, still no food. My son had a complete meltdown since he was both hungry & now tired, my brother-in-law asked if there was any way they could just rush my son's food. They did and he started eating, everyone was so hungry that they had some bites of his food as well. My mom went to ask the manager if our food was close to being ready. The answer was no, there was a whole list of orders ahead of ours. The manager was kind enough to bring us some spinach dip & apologized for the wait, explaining she was dreading today because the kitchen wasn't equipped for the Easter crowd. She assured us that they were working as fast as possible & we appreciated her honesty & effort. My mom went to her car & asked us to let her know when her food came. Our food finally started arriving at 3:17, and not all at once. My sister's meal came last. By this time my son was done & was getting restless while we had JUST started eating. The food itself was disappointing. My sister and I both ordered Benedicts. Mine (Boudin Benny) wasn't hot and was mushy instead of seared. Both of our poached eggs were undercooked. My sister's also had a large amount of cream cheese that wasn't listed and didn't taste good. Other issues: my mom's fries were cold, my brother-in-law said his chicken fried steak was no good. He ate it because he was hungry, and while my husband liked his sandwich & was happy with it, his fries were cold. My niece enjoyed her burger. My son's shrimp, fries, & macaroni were all hot and good... likely because they were rushed for him. It was 3:45 by the time we left. They close at 3. We received a 40% discount, but there was also a 20% automatic gratuity added, which some in our party didn't expect. Here's where they earn stars back... Natalie was great! She took great care of us & kept apologizing for the delay. We could tell that she felt bad, but it was not her fault. The manager also came by checking on us multiple times & got us settled as best she could. She brought us spinach dip while we waited & she made sure that my toddler got food very quickly after being asked about it. She did thank us multiple times for our kindness & patience. As did Natalie. I too, was appreciative of the kindness they showed us. Most of us have all worked in food service before & we understand that the wait staff can only do so much. We also understand being slammed in the kitchen & how fast paced they have to work in order to handle rushes. I appreciate the 40% discount... 20% after the tip. This review was based on one trip & I will update my review if/when I return. But this visit was definitely not a great experience & if it weren't for the kindness, I'd be leaving one star.

Wife had the gumbo which was amazing and, contrary to what others are saying about the okra making it slimey, was not the case at all. word to the wise, if you love alot of rice, maybe order a little more on the side.....but it was amazing! I had to go with the chicken & waffles because why not! And, was not disappointed at all. It was so much that I had it for lunch at work the next day! Everything has an extremely solid flavor and will definitely be coming back even if it is way out of our way! we honestly felt like both dishes could have come from one of those hole in the wall establishment in the French Quarter.

    Food: 4.8/5 Service: 3.5/5…read moreAmbiance: 5/5 I've been wanting to try this place ever since I first heard of it and my anticipation going into the restaurant for the first time with family was insanely high. We ended up not going because of the wait but I went back with a friend earlier today and it was REALLY good. Like insanely good. I got the Chicken and Gravy while my friend got the Chicken and Waffles and we both finished our plates cleanly. The service was slow, yes, but they were extremely nice and did have multiple prefaces regarding the wait time. The only I had food wise was that the candied sweet potatoes were a little too sweet for me (and trust me, I love myself some candied sweet potatoes) and I feel like the okra or another one of the sides would've been a better fit for me. The chicken I had was extremely tender and juicy, and the gravy had the perfect amount of sweet and salty where I just gobbled it down with everything. The vibe is nice and homey and overall this place was just great. It for sure isn't someplace you can rush through in 30 minutes, but that kinda adds to the experience that you get the minute you walk in.

During our extended patronage, we have watched as the management team has performed well, and some teams haven't.

I ordered my eggs over easy. They were extremely undercooked and still translucent, but I chose not to complain since that can happen with over-easy eggs. After roughly 45 minutes, my sausage and ham finally arrived. The moment I took a bite of the ham, I immediately noticed the unmistakable smell of rotten meat and stopped eating it. My father confirmed the smell himself. This ham was spoiled before it was cooked and was still served to customers. When we informed the general manager, Jim, he came to our table and stated, "That is the way the ham is supposed to smell." There was no apology, no concern for customer safety, and no attempt to remove the item from service. Instead, he chose to defend it and continue serving it to other guests. This is not a matter of opinion--it is negligence. Serving spoiled meat poses a serious health risk and can cause severe illness or worse, particularly for elderly or vulnerable individuals who may not immediately recognize the smell. Out of genuine concern for public safety, my father warned nearby diners who had ham on their plates. Customers should never be placed in a position where they feel obligated to protect others from unsafe food. At checkout, I again raised the issue with management. Rather than addressing the health concern, the manager defended the GM while employees behind the counter loudly whispered that I was "just looking for free food." That accusation is false and inappropriate. We spent nearly $200 on food and retail items. I only refused to pay for the $6 ham that was clearly rotten. My goal was not a refund--it was acknowledgment of a dangerous issue and an immediate stop to serving unsafe food. Management made a conscious decision to prioritize being "right" and protecting profit over basic human safety. That is deeply disturbing. I have owned and operated restaurants, and this behavior violates fundamental food-safety standards. I have filed a report with the health department and will be following up. This situation could have been resolved immediately with accountability and removal of the product from service. Instead, management chose denial and continued risk to customers. That is not just poor service--it is dangerous.

Doesn't have that old oily flavor that I get from most places. The pork is well seasoned and has a nice hint of smoke flavored that doesn't overwhelms the pork taste itself. Smoked pork belly- OMG these are sweet, soft and tender. The honey glaze isn't too hard to where it sticks on your teeth but just right where it melts in your mouth. The belly wasn't fatty and greasy (thank goodness) this is a must have. Pork ribs combo with chicken- chicken was cooked well but kind of bland. All the seasoning and flavor was on the skin of the chicken. The smoked pork was wonderful the flavor was actually in the ribs and really juicy. I got it with the green beans and carrots and they are great. I like how the carrots are cooked well enough where it's not mushy but has some firmness and the beans also has a nice flavor with an oil that I can't get my tongue wrapped around but it's really good. Now to my server Kyaana- she was FANTASTIC very friendly and polite. Checked up on us numerous times which I really appreciated. Best part, we said that we would share the pork Combo we ordered and she actually had it separated on 2 plates so we both won't have to be sharing from one. That's great anticipation of someone's needs (5 stars). I did come here at an earlier date and had another server and I feel bad I forgot to check-in because that gentleman was nice also. The meals on that day was: Prime burger- This was Wonderfully, juicy, and tasty. The meat was cooked to medium as requested and the fries were awesome as well. Pork ribs combo with brisket- ribs fantastic and juicy, smoke flavor is a hit. The briskets tasted well and wasn't as dry as they looked but it was a really small portion for the amount you pay for it. The Mac and cheese was really creamy and nice. The macaroni wasn't over cooked and soggy and the cheese wasn't too much where it was running. The mashed potatoes was a NO NO it was grainy which tells me it was boxed and not real mashed but still wasn't creamy. It felt like sandish or like grits.
