Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen

I got the dinner size chicken fried chicken, which comes with 2 chicken fried chickens. The CFC were big and not dries out. It came with mashed potatoes and green beans. My mother got the Monte Cristo which was very oily and did have as much meat as it usually does. We also got the spinach and artichoke dip which was Delish! Everything was pretty good.

Every time I’ve been there it’s been great, food and service. Love this place.

I came in for lunch with a coworker. We were seated in a booth in the bar area. It wasn’t crowded. TV s are loud for a productive lunch. I had the hand crafted Asian salad.

I ordered sweet tea and crispy chicken salad. My daughter ordered chicken Caesar pasta salad. After getting unsweetened tea, and because the waiter didn’t write our order down, my daughter and I looked at each other like, here we go. The waiter brought our salads out, and I didn’t recognize what they set in front of my daughter. They brought the wrong salad. No big deal. The took it, and brought out a chicken Caesar, and the waiter refilled my unsweetened tea, after I asked him again for sweet tea. I told the waiter that my daughter didn’t get the pasta, part of the chicken Caesar pasta salad. Well, then the cook came out and asked my daughter if she wanted the pasta that was supposed to be with it. Um, yes. Next thing we know, a small bowl of pasta is brought out, for her to mix up. I say this, because I would’ve taken her bowl and brought her a fresh one, that was made correctly and/​or not charged me for the chicken Caesar pasta salad or maybe even just take the unsweetened tea off my check. Not to mention, the chicken in my chicken salad was over cooked, so rather than have the cook come out again, to question us, I left hungry.

The bar is great! Drinks are good, reasonable price. It feels good being here. Bartenders are nice, fast and attentive. Food is pretty good as well. It’s a pretty good place to relax and have an adult beverage.

Came here for dinner with mom. Waitress was helpful and friendly. She also got back to us quickly when we asked for something! The food was also tasty! I ha the Dijon mustard chicken and mushrooms! Then a mini starve berry cheesecake for desert! Very satisfied and happy I choose Cheddar’s!

Avg food, avg service. Server didn’t ever give his name and even rolled his eyes when I inquired about the mojitos. Doubt I’ll be back.

Everyone has opinions and here is mine. I don’t understand the really bad reviews on this place. My only gripe is wait time, but kudos to Cheddar’s for their popularity. On the weekend this place is packed so they must be doing something right. Eating in Norman anywhere on the weekend between 5 and 7pm is adventure, get a drink and relax. Cheddar’s blows Chili’s and Applebee’s away. Huge menu, consistent service and great food. If your a mojito fan they make them with real mint and simple syrup, not margarita mix.

We walked in and walked right back out! Music way TOO LOUD! We were told it was so we wouldn’t hear others conversations. I told him (server) it was SO LOUD we couldn’t hear conversations with each other! .Female Manager didn’t care!

Rachel was one of the best waitresses I have had! I never had to ask for another drink and I never had to ask her more then once for something. She was wonderful to be around.

I usually love this place. great food and great service, until this time. About a week ago my boyfriend and I decided to go for an early dinner. We were seated right away and helped by which seemed like an eager new server. We couldn’t decide on our food or drinks. But after a few rounds of have you decided yet? We chose our meals. I was in the mood for a drink and picked the passion punch. Well if you want a cup full of ice and barely a splash of alcohol this is the drink for you! With a nice price over $ 6! Our meal was okay, but felt rushed by the server who kept coming over, it actually got quite annoying. There is such a thing as too much of a good thing. Also he apparently didn’t know you share your tips with the bartenders. My bf wanted to tip him but not the bartender and he said they don’t share tips. Come to find out from the nice hostesses they do share tips. My boyfriend expressed his displeasure with the manager Nicole who basically was rude and not willing to help resolve or even listen. She also lied about watching the bartender make my drink. She stated it was spiked lemonade, which it was not. It’s a shame because we really enjoy this restaurant. I think they need to step back and realize what customer service is. Maybe next time…

I saw online that they are open until 11 PM. I called at 9:32 to place an easy to go order. The hostess whom answered the phone was very friendly. However, whomever I was transferred to was extremely rude and only said, «I’m sorry. We’re done taking to go orders. We close at 10» in a hateful tone. Then, she immediately hung up. I have been a fan of Cheddar’s for a long time, but I will not be back.

Bad service bad food … Employees standing around while others employees are busting their butt.

A sad one star review of a boring chain restaurant. Our food was delivered WAY too quickly, I am convinced that the food must have been prepared for someone else. It was lukewarm and sadly disappointing. Our server was practically on top of us the whole time (a whopping 20 mins due to how fast our food was delivered), even clearing dishes while we signed the check, which I find classless and pushy. You are better off getting a burger from a fast food chain and won’t get stuck with having to tip!

I’ve been to Cheddar’s several times, and everything I’ve had is more or less mediocre. The baked spasagna was probably the most decent entrée I’ve had. I’ve also had their steak and shrimp which was neither good nor bad. Dessert shooters or minis are pretty good especially when you want a small inexpensive dessert, which is an option I enjoy having.
It’s been a while since I’ve visited Cheddar’s, but tonight’s experience was by far the worst. I had no problem with the service, but the food was very lacking and disappointing. I had the chicken fried steak with buttered off-​the-​cob corn and mac and cheese for my sides. First off, mac and cheese wasn’t even hot. It tasted more seasoned than the average mac and cheese, but it felt like it had either been sitting out forever or they just didn’t reheat it enough. This applied to both my friend’s and my own dishes.
On top of that, the chicken fried steak was a piece of burger meat fried in a thick batter that didn’t even stick to the steak. When I cut it, the batter just fell off, so I was eating burger meat and gravy. That was pretty disappointing and then I found that the last quarter of my chicken fried steak consisted of battered air. The batter deceivingly makes the entrée look like a large portion, but I was not impressed.

Do not follow the mapping to get to Cheddars. It takes you to a residential neighborhood.

Cheddar’s is super cheap for the portions you get. The food is decent and there is a lot of variety on the menu. They tend to get crowded around dinner time, but I’ve never had to wait more than ten minutes.

I always get the Baked Spasagna when I come here. Very flavorful and is exactly how it sounds, baked spaghetti mixed with lasagna. I haven’t tried other dishes as of late so I can’t rate anything else.
Service is slow at the bar. We enjoy sitting at the bar to be in front of the TV but they are slow every time I come there. Maybe skip the TV next time just to have fast service!
Décor/​style is kind of boring. Feels like every other chained restaurant in the state, not original at all. At least it’s clean!
Will be back for some more Spasagna. ⁴⁄₅ overall.

Been to Cheddars before Unilocal.I ordered the Veggie plate and salad. These people know, salad first, then the main course. So many places, everything arrives at the same time. Plate FULL of Veggies shows up. Great selection, I can stay on the diet, eat healthy and not feel like an outsider. You have to try the Black Beans! Flavor!!!

I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase, «Familiarity breeds contempt.»
I’m not familiar with Cheddar’s. That may be why I don’t have contempt breeding within me, like it would be with other chain restaurants (I’m looking at you, TGI Friday’s).
Despite it’s chainy chain-​ness, I was pleasantly surprised with:
— the taste or quality of the food offered
— the fairly large portions of the food offered
— the relatively low price of the food offered
Get the Buffalo Chicken Wrap (I can’t recall if that’s what it’s actually called). It’s under $ 8.00, it’s quite delicious, it comes with one side of your choice, and it’s enough food for two separate meals. Three meals if you eat very little. I’m sure it’ll put you well over your caloric intake for the day if you eat it all in one go…
As Justin G. has stated, it is a «very good value for a casual dining experience.»
P. S. I looked up the nutritional information because I was curious. It wasn’t as bad as I expected. Only 1,200 calories. And no decent human being should eat that whole thing in one sitting, so really, it’s like 600 calories; not great, but not terrible horrible.

Our server was so nice! The hostess quoted a 15 minute wait, which actually was more like 3 minutes. Pretty cool! The downside = section we sat in was a terrible mess. It was a Friday night so I’m sure they were hustlin’ to get people in and out! It’s a place for families. Lots of kids around. It’s in between a Denny’s and Chili’s.
I heard they serve up a mean Monte Cristo… Ordered that and a Ceasar salad. Long story short– The salad was quite tasty because of the dressing. I generally hate the way restaurants cut their lettuce so the chopped romaine was as expected. I know what you’re thinking… Why don’t I make my own salad at home? Answer = I’m lazy, hence the reason why I went to a restaurant! :P
The sandwich was OK. I say this because I was expecting the coating to be something different. The interior of the fried confection had turkey, ham and American cheese. Not a big fan of American Cheese. We didn’t get a side of the delicious sounding raspberry preserve, so I asked our server and he quickly brought it over.
