I've lived in York and eaten at Cheddar's quite a few times. Cheddar's is usually a nice clean restaurant - the décor is pleasant and appealing. The food here is usually pretty good - depending on what you get, there are some things that are better than others. The chicken here is usually a good choice - and the salads have been consistent. They do make some pretty good drinks here and the prices are reasonable. That is the thing with Cheddar's, - price. I have had a lot of their dishes that really aren't super doper, but they are usually good, not a special occasion kind of place. I always feel like I have gotten a good value here though which is important. It is often very crowded - parking lot can be full, and the restaurant can also be noisy if it is full. If you need a place for a solid meal, maybe a drink or two and a reasonable price Cheddar's is a good choice, it is family friendly and usually has a section full of families and kids. read more

Came here for a business meal at the insistence of my guests who I should have smacked for taking me to such a soulless food factory. Ordered the fish tacos which were terribly over-salted and covered with a pinkish, slimy sauce which oddly had no flavor. The green bean side was watery and bland. Only reason it is not one star is the waitress was pleasant. read more

I had heard about this place and actually had driven past several times. It's looks really nice from the outside but looks can be deceiving! We were pleasantly surprised when we walked inside. The place is very nice inside as well and we were seated right away. Our waitress was very attentive and took our drink order immediately. When she brought our drinks we ordered the onion rings as an appetizer and each placed our order for the main course. OH MY! The onion rings are amazing! We were surprised when they brought out the main course for each of us...huge portions and it all looked so good! AND it tasted even better than it looked! Excellent! We ended the evening by splitting the Apple Crisp with vanilla ice crème....just like Mom used to make! Soooo good! Well, I would highly recommend this place! Won't pass it by again that's for sure! Enjoy! read more

Service was pretty decent, I had the chicken alfredo, alfredo sauce was very creamy but also very bland chicken was good, my wife had the grilled tilapia seasoned well with a side of their amazing sweet corn. We also has their delicious bacon cheese fries and their sweet butter crescents (we've ordered these before and this time they had barely any butter). For dessert we had a trio of their dessert minis, I did not like any of them, to sweet and taste a little old. Overall our experience was good and we will be back. read more

Best chicken fingers I've ever had. The portions are huge, the waitstaff, friendly and I was pleased to see Covid precautions in place like hand sanitizer stations and mask mandates. Will definitely be back when we visit York! read more

Even though the estimated wait time was 35 minutes, we were seated within 15 minutes. The place was packed on a Saturday night with security guards patrolling inside, mk. The menu is vast, prices unbelievably low. I ordered the Salmon, which was cooked to perfection. The sweet crescent rolls as an appetizer were freshly made and delicious. Drinks were very good as well. We had to ask for silverware and straws, but no bother, our waitress was busy, but maintained a good attitude, and our food from order to table was in good time. Noise level wasn't too bad. I would dine here again. read more

We ate here two years ago, when they first opened, and it was a bad experience. Fast forward two years and we decided to give it another try. I'm glad we did. Everyone deserves a second chance. From the front door to the manager ~ service was great. I had the bourbon salmon with brown rice...salad on the side. The salad came in a large bowl with a great honey mustard dressing. When my meal came it TOO had a salad on the plate ~ oops! I had ask for salad instead of choosing two sides, but had I known there would be so much salad I would have invited the rabbits to joins us! The salmon was delicious! read more

I'll start this post of by saying that I drive from Baltimore (over 40 miles) just to eat here. I've had some dishes better than others, however, everything was good ultimately. I've never had a poor server or a dirty table. The broccoli cheddar casserole is so creamy and delicious. read more

Be careful with their tip guide!!! It's more than what they say. I'm filing complaints with the corporate office and BBB!! $21.32 bill and they are saying 20% is $4.68, thieves! Not sure how to PM on Yelp, you can email me at Scott.bryer@hotmAil.com read more

Went on a Friday around 1 and it wasn't too busy so we got seated quickly. 2 hostesses were very nice. Waitress was very attentive and friendly. We got the spinach dip as an appetizer, it was amazing! I got the baked potato soup, it was okay, kind of watery but still good. I got the meatloaf with a loaded baked potato. It was really good! Loved the baked potato. Would definitely come back here because of the great food and service! read more

The "New Orleans Pasta" that I ordered last night for dinner at the restaurant was absolutely delicious. I'm not a seafood fan so I ordered it without the shrimp that it normally comes with. And I loved it!! It was spicy, sweet, and awesome. I highly recommend it. Our waitress was very nice and the atmosphere was great too. read more

Excellent food, terrible service. This was my first time here but from what I've heard they are notorious for slow service. When we first arrived there were three women at the hostess stand chatting and they all looked at us and said nothing, very odd and awkward. Apps and food came out at the same time and one of the meals was very cold. We sent it back to be reheated. It was very hard to get out waitress' attention and took 15 minutes to get the check. Nobody working there looked to be in a decent mood. Highly recommend their mac and cheese :) Would definitely get their food to go! read more

We just left Cheddars after meeting here for my moms birthday. The food and drinks were fine, but the hostess and manager were subpar. The hostess who sat us was rude and short with us and initially sat at a booth with condensation from the air conditioning dripping onto the seat and table. Unacceptable. We requested to be moved, and the hostess recieved our request with attitude. We then asked to speak to the manager, who proceeded to throw his front of house staff under the bus, saying that sitting us at a table with a leak was their fault and he was unaware of it. We were then moved to a booth and pur server Jordan was kind. We ordered the onion rings which were delicious, but the person who brought out the appetizer plates gave us 3 dirty plates - visible food residue, like they hadnt been washed. read more

When we first arrived it was a bit of a wait to get a table which was expected. We decided to wait at the bar and have a few drinks all of which were AMAZING!!! Also the fish tanks view from the bar was mesmerizing. After a drink or two we were called for a seat! The staff were friendly and food delicious and not over priced. We will be back in the future if not tomorrow lol loved it overall read more

I have driven through York many times without stopping at Cheddar's. Last Saturday, my wife and I decided to finally eat lunch here. Well, the interior is nicely decorated with a large fish aquarium and a large paddle fan in the middle that kinda resembles a banana plantation windmill in design and operation. Service was fine. As for the food? Meh. I ordered the Bacon Cheeseburger and it looked greasy and tasted the same and seemed soggy. It was a weird consistency which most likely is the product of a frozen patty. My wife ordered the Chicken Pot Pie, a favorite of hers at Cracker Barrel. This one tasted like the chicken came from a Swanson frozen dinner. IOW, it tasted bland. I tried it and agreed with her. Overall, a very underwhelming meal, with the best part being the buttered croissants brought out before the meal began. Not sure if we will return or not to try any more of their victuals. read more

Recently reopened for dine in. Kitchen is struggling a bit. Over cooked steak and slightly under cooked chicken. Wait staff is great. Rest of the food is good too. Who knows, maybe the cook is new and will only get better. read more

Wasn't happy with my meal. I ordered the country fried chicken. I was totally in the mood for a big helping of home cookin'. But the portion sizes were all wrong. There were two huge pieces of chicken. Well, ok, that's good I guess, but there's more to a fried chicken dinner than just chicken. It came with mashed potatoes, which were fine but not very generous. But the real kicker was the green beans. They came in one of those very shallow little ceramic bowls that some places serve ketchup in. There were hardly any. Plus they had been sliced and then cut lengthwise, so they were just flat "strips" of green beans. They were completely overcooked too since they were all limp and pale as anything. I had to carefully ration each bean piece with the massive mouthfuls of chicken and bits of potato. A more balanced meal would have been nice, and more filling. Green beans and potatoes seem cheaper and easier to provide than fried chicken. Oh well. read more

We decided to try Cheddar's for dinner on a quick jaunt down to York. We had seen it on previous trips through the area , but had never had occasion to stop. We were fairly disappointed. We started with their honey-butter croissant appetizer. The croissants were good and the honey-butter was a nice addition, but they would have been much better if served warm. These were probably the high point of our meal. Our entrees were both disappointing. My southern fried chicken was very rubbery and the coating did not adhere to the meat at all. The southern green beans were cafeteria grade and their juice made the Texas toast soggy and unpleasant. The mashed potatoes were good, but nothing special. My wife's meatloaf was a little better, but the "tomato glaze" was a thick layer that was both overly sweet and spicier than was appropriate for the dish. She got a baked potato that was pretty good, however. Still a little hungry we decide to try a dessert. We tried the chocolate-raspberry mini cake. The cake itself was serviceable, but the raspberry filling and flavoring was overly sweet and tasted like raspberry syrup. It also was coated in a layer of hot fudge that was as thin as Hershey syrup and topped with half melted, sagging whipped cream. The service was also a bit slow despite the fact that the it was hardly busy when we arrived. Overall, this felt like the kitchen running slow, but even the drinks and the check took longer than expected. We usually make a point if giving a restarting a second chance after a first bad experience, but I doubt we will in this case. The place just really disappointed. read more

Under cooked food. Wont be back. Disgusting food. Probably the worst experience ever. Go anywhere, but here read more

New to me - traveling for business. Comfortable atmosphere to enjoy great meal options, catch-up on business notes while couples / families enjoyed their time together. Will stop again. read more

Cheddars is by far the worst for takeout! Eat in your portions are great and well put together. Takeout and and it gets skimpy! This is an example(picture included) of what you get for takeout. This hasn't been just one time but all except once I have received takeout like this. read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Next to no coleslaw. Pretty safe looking wrap. - American Near Me - York, Pennsylvania

Overall the restaurant is very nice. There is a large menu to choose from. The service was. Very good as well as the food.

Omg we can not stand the hostess. She can't say hello and is extremely unhappy. She said her job was hard and complained. There was literally 5 tables in her filled. My girl friend told her she should really greet us as it's her job. Her job is hard? Okay don't complain to us just do it. Another family came in and she tried to sit them right next to us with no one there around us at all. They complained that she was sitting them next to the only people in here. Yep just to be a mean hostess... I guess they told her. They too said she was rude. We love the chicken here so we came back the next day. She literally stared me down and didn't say hi again until I did. Set our stuff down and walked away before either of us sat (not here with the same friend). I said thank you as she was walking away and I got a grumble " you're welcome never looking back or facing me. Anyways she needs to go. I do not coming here and seeing her. The first person you interact when you arrive is the hostess, so not a good way to start. read more

Fell in love with this place when I viewed it on Yelp. Majority of the items on the menu were under $10. Winner in my book! Lol Once I got here (around 2:30), atmosphere is quiet, staff is friendly. I ordered the steak and ribs combo with two sides and a salad. Steak, was nothing special. Ribs were tasty but not really fall off the bone. Loaded baked potato was supposed to be loaded. I guess their definition of loaded is minus the bacon bits and chives. Im a bacon lover so was slightly disappointed. I had the black beans as my second side, wasn't expecting the diced tomatoes on the top (like I was about to make a burrito of some sort). Drinks were tasty, and affordable! Plus plus plus. Very strong? Not entirely but good. You definitely not gonna pay $15 for a alcoholic drink here that really taste like juice. Would I come back?! I guess I would. read more

Cheddar's has ample parking and is clean inside. I really like the big fish tank too. I've tried the onion rings which were pretty good, cheese fries were alright and the fried shrimp which was pretty good. The portions were big and the prices were even better. The downside was more service related. My party of 5 barely had a chance to look over the menu and the server wanted to know if we were ready to order. Also the timing of when our entrees were brought could have been better as the appetizers were not on the table long. Overall, I'd return and just hope for a better server. read more

I like the menu...generally the food is fair and the cocktails are very good. We did have a terrible experience on Mother's Day. We did expect a wait...so we sat at the bar and the bartenders were ok. It's when we were finally seated that we had issues. I guess the food was prepared without a time frame in mind as some food came out "fresh" but others had to have sat under a heat lamp...Forever. The sandwich (hamburger) rolls were toasted to the point that they would "crack" when you tried to cut in 1/2. In fact the lettuce on the sandwich was so dried out...it was crumbling (sort of like "ash"). The next table was offered "Mother's Day" coupons for a return visit but our server offered nothing of the sort. Very disappointing. read more

Why have I never been here before? I came here with my friends after another performance instead of going to Round the Clock. When I walked in, the first thing I noticed, this really interesting fan spinning in the middle of the place. Decor points and more for the fish tank there too. After being seated, we were served by a very friendly man, forgot his name. Anyways, I ordered the half rack of ribs and chicken tenders with Broccoli and Mac and Cheese for my sides, one of my friends got the table some bacon cheese fries as an appetizer. OH MY GOD! I took one bite of the Mac and Cheese and I was hooked! I don't know what was in that but that was like the best Mac and Cheese I've ever had! The Broccoli was fresh and the Ribs and Chicken were amazing. The Ribs were nice and tender, the chicken was nice and crunchy, the way I like it. I didn't get dessert, but they have a Monster Cookie that they bake fresh for you, so if you have an extra 15 minutes, you can order that. I was very tempted, maybe next time. Other than that, this place is amazing! And the price isn't that bad. I paid only $17 for my entire meal. I'm so happy my friend suggested this place! I am definitely coming back here. And you all should go too. No really! Stop Reading! Go here now! read more

Love the coconut shrimp and the sauce! So yummy! Don't change this ever! The croissants are still amazing! Bring back the hand breaded onion rings please! read more

Our waitress Allison was awesome. She really tried to help me find something to eat. Being a vegan is challenging in York pa but cheddars really has absolutely nothing to eat. All veggies are covered in butter. She did let me order off the kids menu because they had a Penna pasta dish with marina. Lol. My husbands meal was great he said. So if you have a dairy allergy or eat vegan this place is not for you. read more

Nothing but good reviews for this place. From the food to the service to management. Sooooo good!!

Fast friendly service, a very kid friendly place for families to eat while passing through York along the route 30 corridor.

This lace is amazing! I ordered chicken tenders and figured they were going to an ok choice. The chicken was tender and moist, and the coating was delicious!

Definitely check this place out! read more

Discovered this place while in York, PA. Initially didn't seem like a big name restaurant based on what I was looking for on maps app on my phone but I'm glad we went. It was great food at a great price. The monte cristo sandwich is one of the best things I've ever had. I would drive the almost 100 miles just to get one. read more

It didn't look like a lot when I first looked at it but I was really hungry so I went in. I got seated almost instantly. I love cheddars.

This place is wonderful I love the food cook to perfection hot and on time I drive almost 30 miles just to eat here, but today I was sad because what bring me out here are the onion rings that are awesome and today for some reason they were out of them, and as a costumer that's a NO,NO...!! I would of given Cheddar's 5 star rating but since there were short to complete my order I'm very straight forward I gave you a 4 star rating, over all the rest of the food the service and cleanest of the place was perfect...!! read more

Took about an hour and a half to receive entrees. Appetizer salad had a fly in it. Never again.

Great experience all around. Good service, not long of a wait on a Saturday night, well priced food. Love coming here
