Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen

Still sitting here at Cheddars and I have to say the food was great but Megan was absolutely the best waitress I’ve ever had. If we even thought about something she was already on her way with it!
Thanks again Megan for your fantastic service!

I had overheard some friends talking about what a gem Cheddars was. About how they had quality items as with other major chains, but with a lower price point. Long story short, this place lives up to it.
The only issue we had was our waitress kept sneezing, a lot! Aside from that, the prices here are awesome. We went in during peak Sunday brunch hours and had no problem being seated immediately.

In this restaurants defense, I didn’t feel well and didn’t know that I was sick when I came to eat. But that’s a separate fact from the review, I’m just saying that maybe I’m boast because I didn’t feel well. I got a burger when I was there cause I LOVE a good burger, but mine was raw, the cow was mooing back at me folks. The flavors were nothing to wrote home about, I did not feel I got anything exceptional for the price they asked.

Wife & I in the mood to try something new, so we went to Cheddar’s. Service — very friendly & attentive (5 stars). Facility — crowded, noisy, nicely decorated. Son loved fish tank (3.5). Price — good, no military discount (3.5). Portions — large (4).
Food: 3
App — spinach dip, salsa & chips — fair.
Drink — Roy Rogers (Coke w/​Grenadine) — good, kept refills coming.
Meals — wife had Monte Cristo sandwich — a tad greasy. I had New Orleans Pasta — good.
Overall Rating: 3.5

Dined here several times, never a bad experience and ALWAYS great food!

I have dined here on many occasions and my review is more about the service and the restaurant itself than the food. The food has always been good and is very reasonably priced. On my last visit with my husband mother and visiting in laws, we had a less than stellar experience. The restaurant actually smelled dirty. Our waiter was trying really hard but was waaaay too hyper and talked so much we felt like our needs were actually being forgotten or ignored. We ordered diet cokes and got regular coke, didn’t get enough straws, and my father in laws tea glass came complete with lipstick marks and no they weren’t left over from not being washed off well, it obviously had not been washed at all. We ordered 3 of the exact same salad with grilled chicken, 2 with no tomato because I dont like them and my mother in law is allergic. What we got was 2 with grilled chicken and 1 fried. When the waiter tried to compensate he brought my mother in law a new salad with tomato! Overall this place does have decent food at great prices but the service is not always amazing, there are always 100 people waiting and it is always very loud.

Totally new menu as of 2 days ago. It seems to have screwed up the kitchen they messed up 2 of our 4 meals. Food took forever to come out tables around us were served before us and seated after us. 1 of our meals was taking so long to come back correct we literally gave up and asked them to take it off the bill. Very disappointing dinner experience which is unusual. They have been more crowded and we had far better service???

Horrible! Would give 0 stars if I could. So this was my families first time going here. I’m a vegetarian and came to find out there were no options on the menu so I ordered a salad and asked them to put the chicken on the side (I’m the only vegetarian in my family so I was going to let someone else have the chicken). The first salad they brought out to me, had the chicken on it. So they had to bring it back and get me a new one. Never in my life have I ever been served a salad with chicken in plastic bags on top! This is what they brought to me the second time. A salad with two plastic bags filled with chicken! I honestly didn’t know what to say or think of the situation. But I didn’t want to complain so I took the bags off my salad and started to eat. A few seconds into eating my salad what do I find, chicken inside my salad! So I complained and they took it off my check since I sent it back and did not order anything else. Oh, but you thought that was all? My daughter’s steak was hard as a rock, my son, who’s never complained about a burger, said his burger was disgusting, and my husband’s meal was way overpriced for what he got! I do not understand why this place is always packed! But I do know that my family will never return here again!

Excellent service bar none. Our server, Bryan, is one if the best servers we have had.

The cost is low and the biscuits are good, My food was good but i guess I just very picky.

Heaven so far away. Enough said.

As soon as we walked into Cheddar’s today we were greeted and made us welcome. Our server Megan came to the table with a smile and suggested food for us. Excellent suggestion. Food came out fresh, hot and fast. Portions were more than enough for one person. There was no room for desert. Thank you for a great meal at a fantastic price. Thanks to Megan for superior service.

Hi, I visited cheddars today, 9÷19÷15, around noon.
Our waitress Megan in the bar area was a pleasure and continually checked on us during our visit. There is a difference between providing basic rudimentary service and the pleasing environment of hospitality. She was a very hospitable server and the food was great as well.

Love Cheddars! First time at this location. Great service, great prices and great food. Ask for Ivy here. Best server ever!
New Orleans pasta is da bomb diggity!
Phillysteak sammich is pretty good too.
Oh and the onion rings and spinach dip is fantastic. Again and again we’ll be back!

Ummm this place is awesome! We went on a Sunday at about 1:30 pm. It was a 20 minute wait for two people, but totally worth it! My boyfriend got the Philly cheese steak, so delicious! He also got a top shelf margarita with sangria, it was so good. Our waiter, Connor (I think) was really great. I ordered the vegetable plate. The chicken tortilla soup was yummy and so was the broccoli casserole. It was all delicious! I’m a new fan of Cheddars. Keep up the good work. My only suggestion… pagers for when ppl are on a wait. Oh, and the onion rings look awesome!!! Must get them next time. I just looked at the reviews… for people who complain… they are just miserable and need to order a beer and relax. First world problems. The reason they are always on a wait is because THEY ARE AN AWESOME RESTAURANT! Suck it up, buttercup.

I’ve always gotten good food at this location. The service is good, but wait times to be seated can be rough. They have good portions, good appetizers, and some good dishes. The chicken tenders are good, ribs good, onion rings great, shrimp good, steak good enough, lunch combo with soup or salad awesome, and prices are right.

Food was good, it is my second time comming here first time unclean plates, second bits of salad on my fork. I should have left when I saw this but had a drink order already in. To bad it wasn’t the drink I wanted. A mojito. Food ok chicken on the crispy side but the sauce and Irish coffe made up for it. And the staff is a bit elusive.

Had Sunday lunch at Cheddar’s on 5÷3÷2015. Food was excellent, server was very helpful and took great care of us. Bathrooms were kept clean and didn’t have to wait long for the food. One note, Sunday’s are packed with people so be patient. Great experience!

This place was such a disappointment i had heard great things but when I actually went I was sorely disappointed. The hostess was judgmental it was way too loud because they had to have the music louder than the speaking level my boyfriend and I had to scream at each other just to speak to one another they were way over priced and our food was not cooked thoroughly and our steak had more fat than actual meat. All in all I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

We went here on a Monday night and it was pretty packed.
Based on the reviews here it seems that’s pretty standard.
Honestly I’m not sure why.
Well, it’s not because of the food. I suspect it’s because you get a lot of food for a low price. But sometimes you get what you pay for.
The place is ok for a physical location. It’s just a little noisy because it’s so busy.
My coworker had the New Orleans pasta and she said it was ok but didn’t finish it (in fairness, the portion was pretty big). I had a chicken wrap again it was big and edible but nothing special.
My top of the line margarita was still cheap at $ 6.99 (and like everything else, oversized) but honestly I’m not sure there was actual tequila in it. No chance of getting drunk on those.
I suppose this place is better than chain places like Chilis or Ruby Tuesday or something but I’ve been to a lot of restaurants in Columbus and you can do better than this place.

As much as I didn’t want to like this place, it is probably one of the better eateries in the area. It is consistent, tasty, and the price is right. Burgers, onion rings, cheese dip with beef, and the fried chicken dinner are my favorites. The beer is on point too.

Underwhelming, lackluster experience. I had heard such great things about Cheddar’s, but when I finally had the chance to go and eat here, I was completely let down.
First of all, our server. Le sigh. She seemed like she didn’t even want to be there, let alone take our order.
Second, the atmosphere. It was FREEZING! Like the AC was on full blast. It was colder indoors than it was outdoors. :-(
Third, the food. It was actually tasty, but the service and the environment had already left a bad taste in my mouth (pun intended).

We visited here about three years ago, but honestly, I don’t remember much about the restaurant, so I was really looking forward to going today. At appx 2:30 pm, there was a 30 minute wait to get it. That in itself is a good sign.
Yeah, I love food, and my waistline shows it, therefore, I was looking for lighter fare today. I tried the Sweet Heat Chicken & Shrimp and it was delicious. The salad was a mix of arugula, endive, spinach and red leaf lettuce. It was very fresh. The tomato herb vinaigrette dressing complimented the salad very well, and they didn’t drown the salad with it. The chicken and shrimp were both cooked well and the sweet chili sauce glaze had a touch of kick. My dish was by far my favorite of all the things I tasted.
I tasted a few other items at the table…
The Mac and Cheese was creamy and tasted it like it had some sort of crumble topping. The Grilled Baja Chicken was good, but the flavor was slightly bland. The lemon pepper chick was tasty, but the lemon pepper seasoning was very salty to me. The chips and salsa were good, but nothing spectacular.
However, to me (Mr. Cheapskate), the cost of the meal overshadowed the generally good meal. Most entrees are generally under $ 10.
Overall, I really enjoyed the experience and II look forward to going back again.

It’s a great place. I love their croissants, it’s probably because they have that thick layer of sweet butter on them. I could eat a whole order by myself, but that never happens. lol. I typically like to order their Chicken Caesar salad without the pasta, but that’s just me, my husband thinks I’m weird for it but that’s how I like it. Sometimes I order the blackened salmon which is also good with the broccoli casserole (i think that’s what it’s called) I love me some of that too.
Overall I think this place is great. They are typically packed on Sundays but I think they try to move as quickly as possible to have everyone seated.

Cheddar’s has a little bit of everything in big servings for a not so big price. I think it can be debated whether or not the food is fresh or frozen, but the end result is what matters. I have enjoyed the experience and food each time I have gone. Is the food mind-​blowing? No. In my opinion it is of good quality, tasty, and satisfying. An actual Ribs and steak plate for under $ 20 that doesn’t suck? How can you beat that?
When you go, expect a wait. They can get really busy. The wait time varies with the size of your party so plan ahead if it is 5 or more.
Cheddar’s is a good value for service, food, and experience. I recommend everyone try it once and then come back and try something else on the menu. I don’t think there will be many disappointed.
