    Today the godkids and I ended up here as apparently 8:00 is closing time for restaurants and we barely made it by arriving at 7:20 pm unbeknownst of that, we had a courteous server even though her first words were that she didn't know we were there even we got sat down by a host. As I digress you do get a lot of food for the price you pay. Three meat combos with two sides for $23.00 and a two meat with two sides for $21.00. Sounds like a no brainer to get the three for $2.00 extra. The food itself was tasty and you definitely receive your money worth. The downside was we had to keep finding someone for assistance such ad spoons for apple sauce that should have been brought with the food and refills on our sodas etc... as they were busy closing and chatting.

    Love the cozy atmosphere in the winter and the staff is friendly. I believe it is now under new ownership and everything seems to fairly be the same. The only knock I have is the brisket was a bit chewy the last time I went, not the same quality of brisket they used to have.

    The staff here were super friendly, but the food was mid (not wonderful aka nothing to write home about.) It just felt like the flavor was lacking. Skip the salad altogether & the fried pickles were okay. The sauce they gave with them were interesting enough, I just felt like every part of this meal needed *more.*

    Best food for the price I've had! Eating by yourself isn't always the best with certain staff. However the waitress at the bar was very nice and attentive. Will be coming back

    Salad - how old??

    Ok, through the years i have seen the quality of this place go down hill to the point i really dont like any meats here except the burnt ends. So, i usually only come here for the bbq nachos with burnt ends but this time i came here just to hang out with some friends and get a bite to eat. They no longer have the nachos on the menu. Bummed out. But i did order burnt ends with a garden salad. . Service is ok. But lacks energy or good vibes. Ordered a drink and a water. Forgot to bring the water. I made due and skipped it. The salad came and was definitely not a fresh salad, many pieces of lettuce were starting to brown. Wont hurt so i continued to eat. Cucumbers were flavorless. It was a blah salad. I get the burnt ends and i was sorely disappointed. They tasted like meat that was seared and burnt, then had the stuff at the bottom of the pan mixed with too much water and then put the meat in it to simmer. I also had a side of brisket - yeah not a fan. It was the last time visiting at famous daves. In response to the below.... Its definitely not the same as it was. Even the pics show the quality has lowered. You never sold salads that looked like that. And the burnt ends never tasted like watered down pan drippins. I think you need to reevaluate what you are claiming.

    I've been here lately and all I can I said is they have improved a lot. The food tastes so delicious, the new manager is very friendly and so is the stuff even when they are short staffed.The place is always clean and neat, and so are the bathrooms. I'll always come back again because I have not found a place with a good barbecue in Colorado.

    The prices were high, the portions were small and the barbeque was okay. Nothing really spectacular, except for the bill.

    First of all, I live in Wheat Ridge and very rarely make it down to Parker. When my friend…read moresuggested this place for HH yesterday, I had a look at the menu, saw fried mushrooms and said sure. Now, to be honest, when ever I see fried mushrooms on a menu I automatically assume that they'll be frozen (but I don't really care because they're a lifelong favorite of mine). But I was super surprised when they were battered in-house and huge mushrooms - friggin delicious!!! The service was great, could tell our server was training someone, but they were totally on it and attentive. When I asked for a to-go box & lid for the rest of the massive 'shrooms & ranch, the lid accidentally fell on the floor. Our server immediately picked it up and grabbed a clean one. Will be back next time I'm down there!

The acoustics here are not the greatest as it was rather loud and we had a difficult time in hearing the hosts. We still had fun as our group came in 3rd out of 12. Service was fantastic. Our waitress greeted each one of us as we arrived and placed our orders quickly. The food however, is not so great. I had the beef sliders and an iced tea. As soon as I got home after the event, I was sick. My friend ordered the taco special ($2 Taco Tuesdays after 7p) and the one thing she noticed was that the food seemed like everything came from a jar, can or freezer. Come for a drink, stay for the fun but maybe consider food elsewhere.

    We came for dinner early on a Saturday night. Like always, we made a reservation. Like always, we…read moredidn't need it. I got the chicken I always get, and it was strong as usual. Green beans were fine, but maybe not as good as they typically are. The chicken tortilla soup is good as well. My daughter got the salmon again and liked it. She tried the Romano potatoes and was surprised at what it looked like when it came out. Covered in cheese and what she thought looked like bacon, she wondered if the potatoes were actually as low calorie as they appeared to be on the menu. On the last visit, we had the asparagus as a side. It was huge and delicious. We ordered it again as a side this time, not realizing that the $3.39 menu charge is only the up charge if you replace another vegetable. If you want to add it onto the rest of your meal, they charge you $7. It doesn't mention this anywhere on the menu. The asparagus were rather scrawny and not nearly as good as last time. I mentioned what I thought was a mistake in the bill. The waiter left to talk to the manager, and he was gone a long time. Eventually the manager came to talk to me. She agreed that the menu could be written better, and she made a change on the bill, so we were only charged $3.39 instead of $7. All that said, with the asparagus not as great as it was last time, I'm not sure I'd get it for the substitution, much less as a more expensive side addition. Service was good for the most part. We did need to flag him down a few times, but nothing too crazy.

    I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. At best the food and service was ok. Furthermore,…read moreafter checking the card on my card, this business has conducted fraud and stolen from me. They decided they deserved a LARGER tip. I have hard evidence of the original charge, guest copy and merchant copy as I took a picture of all 3 side by side in one capture. If you eat here, check your charge afterwards. The employees and business here has a history of stealing and tipping themselves more than approved in writing. There are no proper checks or controls here, obviously no one validates theft or fraud is occuring. In other restaurants, it is ACCEPTED NORMAL practice for the manager or an independent party to verify all check amounts entered. They obviously do not care to follow basic industry leading practices to prevent theft and fraud. This is a factual review and screenshots and proof will be provided to yelp staff upon request.

Next the chicken fried chicken was delicious I had orders corn and mash with the dish, the jalapeño burger was flavorful and sweet potatoes came out crispy and hot. The catfish was as 6 strips of deliciousness with the sides of baked potatoes and coleslaw. The steak and ribs were excellent. Overall we will definitely be back to dine at Cheddars.. we did not order the hot honey butter croissant and that we will need to do. Service was excellent and she checked on us often. The restaurant was true to what they stated which is southern comfort food. We shared most of our dishes .. next time I will definitely tackle some salad, soup and desserts!
