Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen

I went to Cheddars tonight for a birthday celebration for my mother, she love’s Cheddars! The service as usual was great. The wait staff was very attentive, shout out to Hannah for doing an amazing job. The food however was subpar. For the appetizers we had spinach dip which was a tad salty. My mother’s food was warm, she prefers to eat nice hot food straight from the vessel which it was cooked in. I had the Bacon Burger with a side of horseradish (yum). The burger was medium well a bit more medium then I liked. The bacon could have been cooked a little longer. I ended up eating only half of the burger. Unfortunately for us today was an off day for Cheddars, as far as food goes. We will definitely give it another try, the atmosphere is awesome!

The Dijon chicken is banging! This would be 5 stars if it was for the limited draft beers and what is up with the temperature control its like heater in the summer and AC in the winter? Food is really good though and pretty building!

Had the WORST experience today at Cheddar’s in Camden DE! Today’s my 25^th wedding anniversary and the ONLY placed I wanted to go was here! Well, they got my order wrong twice and to be honest that wasn’t even that bad. It was the service or lack thereof from the floor walker, Megan, that has me extremely angry! She argued with me and proceeded to tell me I was wrong and the order was right when it CLEARLY was not. This went on for about 7 minutes until she walked away food in hand STILL screaming across the room that we were wrong! This is unacceptable behavior for anyone! She does not deserve to work in a service industry when she cannot control her temper, listen to the client, or attempt to resolve the issue opposed to escalating it! BEYOND ANGRY!!! I eat here ALL the time and I’ve NEVER experienced service or misconduct such as this!!!

My son got food poisoning from the bacon cheeseburger. Traveling home from the shore and we have had to pull over 3 times in last 2 hours for emergency potty stops. Now he tells me bacon on his burger was raw. Argh! Think twice.

Great food but almost always a wait and food comes out slow! The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because of food quality but has a limited menu.

We visited Cheddars when they first opened. We were very unhappy with both the food and service. We did not go back for a while but decided to give them another try. We couldn’t believe this was the same place. The food and service was outstanding. I had the Key West Chicken & Shrimp and my wife had the Sweet Heat Chicken & Shrimp which happened to be an under 575 calorie dish. The flavors were rich, the portions were just right, the ambience was great (we were surprised how nice it was considering the price points of their meals) and the service was outstanding. The servers all seemed pleasant and happy to be there. We will definitely be visiting Cheddar’s on a regular basis.

This was our first time dining at a Chedders. The exterior looked very pleasant and welcoming. It claims to be a scratch grille which we were honestly not even sure what that was. We walk inside and it’s not bad. A little Cracker Barrel-​ish. Seated right away by a hostess with a warm smile. The menu was not too shabby. Nice Selection of American food. Good prices too. But after 15 minutes with no waitress we were eager to order. Finally she arrives. We order our food. When we inquired what type of cheese was in the Wisconsin cheese bites we were given a sarcastic reply «Wisconsin Chedder» as if to imply there was no option but Wisconsin cheddar. She leaves. Tens minutes then the Wisconsin bites come out. No drinks yet. Okay. We dig in. The bites were mozzarella. I guess there were other cheeses after all… Eat those over 15 minutes. Still no drinks. Quite thirsty at this point. Had to flag down the waitress with considerable effort. She grabs our drinks and gives us some song and dance about the kitchen messing up. Hmmm. Our food shows up. Missing our side salad. And more importantly our silverware. Some more flagging required to recover those items. So now the food, chicken pot pie was good. Steak was very well cooked. Tasty. Chicken fingers were horrid. Mac and cheese was decent. Green beans not what I expected. So food was pretty good overall. Clearly the kitchen is not blame here. Towards the end of our meal our waitress manages to pop by, possibly to redeem herself from her previous follies and offers us refills on our low drinks. Then disappears. Never to return. One can only hope she was fired mid shift due to lack of competence. Paid our bill and will most likely not be returning to Chedders. «Scratch» that off the list.

Good food, clean and friendly staff. Reasonably priced meals. Go during off hours and the wait is not bad if at all. We went at 130 pm on a Friday and walked right in to be seated with no wait. This is one of the better places in Dover.

Love this place. The food is always excellent. The service is terrific. Prices are extremely reasonable. By far this is my favorite restaurant.

First time at Cheddars for dinner last night. The wait wasn’t bad 10 – 15 mins to seat 3 people. Our waitress was friendly and attentive.
First we ordered the honey butter croissants and the Wisconsin fried cheese bites. Both were delish!
I also got the Maui magarita which was excellent on the rocks.
For my entrée I got the sirloin steak with grilled shrimp mash potatoes and broccoli cheese casserole. I asked for medium rare for the steak and it was cooked perfectly ! The shrimp was sweet and spicy and I loved the fried onions that came with the steak. Overall I am pleasantly surprised how much I liked the food and the prices were decent for what we got! I will def. Come back to try more dishes :)

Ate here Friday with my boyfriend. Waitress was super slow, and my boyfriends beer was flat. However the cheddar broccoli casserole and my chicken tenders made up for the negatives. Cheddars prices are great but the food is hit or miss sometimes.

The parking lot is always crowded, so that must mean something. Their staff has always been friendly. The burgers are tasty and the menu has plenty of options.

My first time here was tonight and it was delicious. I had the blackened catfish, black beans and corn. I failed to take a picture but the food was good and the price was awesome!

Went back again because my husband ate with friends there and enjoyed.
Took over thirty minutes to get my sandwich after we ordered and again it wasn’t crowded. For me it was so Spicy I couldn’t Eat it. The waiter was super nice about it and offered to get me something else. We just didn’t have time since we were on lunch break.
My husband again loved his meal. Shrimp with rice I think.
Maybe ill try take out next time. I mean it is always crowded at night. there must be something I am missing.

The one thing I love the most here is the Queso w/​Hamburger meat. That could be my entire meal if it were a little bigger portion.
My wife and I have been here a few times and her grandparents enjoy coming down to eat there.
Over all, the service is good, food is good as well. If you don’t feel like Applebee’s or Olive Garden and just not sure exactly what you want, give this place a shot.

Came back to Cheddars seems that they may not have any managers working on the weekends. Or they don’t train the staff that maybe it’s important to serve the customer what he orders.
They forgot my drinks once got them about the time my food order arrived.
Once completly forgot to bring my appetizers.

Stopped in on the way to Salisbury, my family and I thoroughly enjoyed it! The food was pretty great, though I’m not sure if all would be considered comfort food. But our waiter, Shannen, was amazing! Helpful, and for three ladies he brought out a great smile! All around great experience our first time around. Would give it a 5, but there’s always room for improvement.

First visit. Atmosphere is very nice and the wait staff provided good service… even offered a beverage to go. Food was ok. My husband enjoyed his chicken fingers which were piping hot and his fries. We both got dinner salads which were fresh but would have liked more veggies. I had shrimp which were small and could have been cleaned better. Baked potato was not warm enough to melt the butter or the cheese sprinkled on top. Food quality probably matched the price.

The Honey Butter Croissaints are «To Die For»! Chicken Fingers Taste Flavorful… The Sampler Was More Than Satisfying For a Meal For 2. It was an overall great Experience! I’m Going To Return

The food is very good and very reasonably priced. The only downfall is the service. Good service is the exception rather then the rule.
The croissants are amazing. All the portions are very good sized. My kids love the chicken fingers, which are heavily breaded and crispy. The fish tacos and Monte Cristo are my favs.
We would eat here significantly more if my wife could tolerate how poor the servers are. If your not in a rush, and don’t mind empty drinks, go ahead and give it a shot.

We stopped here after checking out of our hotel and heading home for lunch, we were a party of 5. We don’t have one in our area so we thought we would give it a try and see how it was. It looks fairly new? We were seated quickly by the hostess way across the restaurant in the last room. And then we waited… and waited… and waited. I understand things are slower in Delaware. This was lunch time and the place wasn’t crowded. I’m very particular about being seated and seeing a server. I give them 5 minutes tops and then I’m looking for a manager. As usual no server so I caught ones attention as she walked by (she wasn’t our server but she did get us drinks) We finally saw our server Sarah as she delivered our drinks without any introduction or pleasantries. I was starting to steam. We ordered an appetizer of onion rings which were delicious, light and airy and my daughter got a salad/​entrée. She asked my daughter if she wanted it brought out prior to her meal? That’s how I eat my salad, doesn’t everyone? Another thing that plucks my nerves is the length of time it takes to get drink refills. Again, «slow» was the word of the day.
Overall the food was good and filling. I would go back again but I would like management to address the issue with their employees about the amount of time from being seated to being waited on. Buttered croissant’s were delicious and plates were overflowing. Very inexpensive and the drink prices are cheap. No alcohol this time as I was driving. Try it if you’re in the area.

First time at Cheddars. Let me say we would come back here. From scratch cooking with friendly staff. Kids chicken fingers, key west chicken, pot pie & croissants. Staff was friendly, attentive & personable. Croissants were warm. Caesar salad was big for a side and lettuce was fresh. Food came out hot & delicious. Tenders we crispy & a great portion for kids. Pot pie was filled with veggies with a flaky crust. Key west chicken had amazing spice & flavor. Broccoli casserole was delicious & corn was your yummy. Under $ 25 for 4 people to eat dinner is awesome. Will come back!

First time eating here. We had a good experience. Our server was Dustin who did an excellent job of meeting our needs. The food was good. We ate the croissants and chicken tenders. The tenders were moist and tasty. Someone had the Salmon which was good. The nacho appetizer was good too. We visited on a busy Sunday afternoon and service was still on point. People were constantly going in and out. We were there around the 4– 5pm timeframe.
We will be back on our next trip through Dover.

Great food at a great price !! We ordered apps, fountain drinks, and two entrees with additional sides and the bill was still only $ 35 !! Very nice and clean environment inside ! Wish I lived closer so I could eat there more often.

First time eating here. When ever I drove by it always interested me. We went for dinner last night. A late dinner. We were greeted quickly and seated in our booth. Our server was being shadowed by a new employee whom was very eager to help.
The raspberry tea we ordered had something wrong with it. Maybe it was soapy… Very strange! My salad came out quick and our food followed right behind! Great portion sizes! In ordered chicken pot pie which was great! It was full of chicken and vegs. I wish they would have been a little more careful with the chicken only because I kept finding very hard (inedible) pieces I the pie. The bf ordered chicken alfredo, it had vegs in it as well. Strange accompanyment… never have I seen something like this. Broccoli and carrots mixed in with pasta and chicken. He pulled the carrots out and happily ate it up.
He has been there before and that why we came. Good place to eat and reasonably priced. Would go again!

I had to do a double-​take when I recieved the bill. Two adults, with drinks (one non-​alcoholic, one alcoholic), an appetizer, and two entrees… came to a whopping $ 38.25!
The server was exceptional (Dylan). The food was piping hot. This is one of best chain restaurants I’ve ever been to. Wish they had one near Philadelphia though…

This restaurant is fairly new. Its actually in Camden. I have eaten at Cheddars in different states. I was not disappointed. They have fresh brewed Sweet Tea. I had Chicken Alfredo and buttered Sweet Corn. I was going to get dessert, but I ran out of room. The wait staff is friendly, the restaurant is clean and spacious as far as distance between tables & booths. There is a full bar too. Great spot for lunch, happy hour and dinner.

Cheddar’s has really good food and great prices.
3 words: Honey Butter Croissants!
They are amazing! Get you some!
I ordered the Half Rack Ribs & Chicken Tenders with a loaded baked potato and green beans. I loved the entire meal! The BBQ sauce on the ribs is amazing; The seasoning on the green beans, perfect! I love crispy, flaky, chicken fingers and even my potato was extremely tasty.
The service was great. I wish I remembered her name because she did everything she could for us to enjoy our dining experience. I ordered the Spiked Strawberry Lemonade mainly because it had vodka and sliced strawberries in it on the menu…2 of my fav’s. Instead it came out to me with cherries. I was a little disappointed especially after I was told there were no strawberries in the building but the server got me a little cup of strawberry purée with little pieces of strawberry in it. Not only was I satisfied that I had strawberries, it made my drink taste even better! Great dining experience!
