Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen

The New Orleans Pasta was wicked awesome. The staff was helpful and friendly. I will return for sure.

Got to love Cheddars. The food is reasonably priced and is hearty and well prepared. I had the chicken tender platter and it was great. The tenders are hand battered and made to order. The cole slaw was sweet and made freah. My wife had the buffalo chicken wrap which she says very good. We always leave with a togo box. Try the Hot Fudge Cake Sunday there is no way one person can finish it. Toby our waiter/​bartender ofdered great service. Just rhe righr amount of contact. Great Job!

Service here is getting to be unbearably slow… and quite predictably so. I’ve been sitting here now for more than 10 minutes and have yet to be acknowledged by any staff… Too bad because the food is a pretty good value otherwise…

Great food great value. Kids love this place. The steaks are flavorful. Butter honey rolls are a favorite. Can’t go wrong here.

We were given a 20 minute wait time and got our table in less (maybe 12 or so minutes) although the waiting area was full of people. My boyfriend had the sirloin and ribs with mashed potatoes and I ordered the honey mustard chicken with green beans and Mac n cheese. I got a house salad as well and it came out before my meal just like I asked. Everything was delicious!!! He said the ribs were amazing and they literally fell off the bone, the food was served quickly, the temp was good and our server Kalvin was exceptional. He was polite, attentive and didn’t make us feel rushed to eat but also didn’t forget about us even though they were very busy. He offered us refills and dessert and thanked us. The ONLY disappointment of this trip is that they were out of their amazing croissants, which was only because they were busy. This trip would have been five stars otherwise! I highly recommend ordering those right when you sit down! We were just passing through Columbia but I will definitely be back the next time I’m in town! The bill was less than $ 40 which is very reasonable for the quality of the food.

Greasy, bland food. The only thing my son and i could recommend is the lemonade. I think i would have rather gone to taco bell, better and cheaper prices. However, i would recommend this restaurant to anyone who is constipated, the chicken fried steak will have a rapid relief (release).

Cheddar’s is s solid go-​to choice for our family in any town we find one. Excellent flavor, selection and pricing. I’m a big guy and often have leftovers, even with their MonteCristo sandwich. (My favorite)
Side note: the Cheddar’s restaurants don’t advertise, yet they are always busy whenever we stop at one. My table is ready. Later.

Been living in Columbia for a little over a year now, and finally decided to try it. Very cheap food options, which the family and I loved, and the food was actually good. The décor of the restaurant and the family-​type feel to it is what makes Cheddar’s a great place to eat.

My husband I went to Cheddars for lunch and arrived a little after they opened. He ordered the Monty Cristo sandwich and I ordered the Smokehouse Burger. His sandwich was so greasy that when he touched it, grease dripped all over. My burger was better, however the huge mound of fried onions on it was just as greasy. We think their oil wasn’t up to temperature and the person frying the food didn’t care. The server was great and did let the manager know, in which he didn’t charge us for my husband’s meal, which he didn’t eat. He was offered a bowl of soup instead, which was appreciated but that isn’t exactly why we went there. Nice staff. Very greasy food.

I stopped by this afternoon for a late lunch. We had an appetizer and my wife had soup and salad and I had a chicken fried steak. The service was good, the salad was fresh and the potato soup was really good. The chicken field steak, however was outstanding. I have a picture attached for you. The size was fantastic and the price was reasonable. I will be returning here.

We went there with a group of about a dozen on a Sunday evening. They were able to seat us very quickly. There service was a little spotty — a couple of the plates were incorrect (missing side items) but the errors were corrected very quickly when pointed out.
The food ranged from excellent to just OK. I had a Caesar salad that was terrific: the romaine was fresh and crisp, the dressing was some of the best I’ve ever had, and the parm had a fresh taste and a nice texture. I also had the chicken tenders with steamed broccoli and cole slaw. The cole slaw was good, although perhaps a bit sweet for my personal taste. The steamed broccoli had a bit of sauce but tasted like it had been cooked earlier in the day and then reheated. The tenders were nicely battered and well-​cooked, but the breading was bland. I had to add a lot of salt and that still didn’t help.
The portions are large at a reasonable price.

I definitely enjoy this place but it seams like you have to find them on the right day. The consistency of the product is not there and I definitely want to know what I’m getting when I order. I have had amazing meals and bad meals here it all chalks up to who is cooking. The wait staff has always been amazing and easy to get along with so that is definitely a reason I keep going back

Really fantastic blackened catfish with very reasonable prices! Had dinner sized portions for 3 people for under $ 40!

Love Cheddars! So glad it came to COMO. The portions are great and the staff has always been very helpful. Ask for Jacob, he is a great bartender!

3 stars for the food — it was pretty decent. I love their croissants! Our waitress was friendly. She messed up my order but it was fixed very fast & the manager came to the table to personally apologize.
I deducted two stars for the attitude of some of the staff — I went with my 2 ½ year old son on a Saturday afternoon. The restaurant was full of families and kids. It’s not like it’s a fine dining restaurant.
As we walked into the restaurant I overheard a waiter telling the hostess «Oh, you can seat so-​and-​so next.» Which I took to mean, INSTEAD of him because heaven forbid a child at his table. Then as the hostess walked us to our table the same server laughed sarcastically to the waitress who would have to serve us.
I was in foodservice for 7 years. I know kids can be messy, but this server needs to grow up or find a new job. It’s completely unacceptable for your patrons to overhear staff making comments like this. If you’re going to complain about your customers may I suggest you do it somewhere they aren’t LISTENING!
Not sure if I will go back. I should have said something or at least gotten the servers name, but I was kind of embarrassed in the moment.
For the record my child is almost always well behaved in restaurants! He might make a bit of a mess but I try to clean up after him and if I can’t I tip accordingly. Because I’ve been there. I’m just glad this poor waiter wasn’t forced to have to deal with us.

Ate here while in town during a cross country trip and was pleasantly surprised. The menu is quite vast and offers a great variety for anyones taste. Defintely good comfort food I needed after a stressful event and the service was A+, very friendly staff and the restaurant was very clean.
My only real dissappointment is there is not a Cheddars where I live, I would defintley make this a regular spot if there was one near me.

This place is easily one of the best chain restaurants out there. Great food, lots of it, and good service that isn’t overbearing.

My family and I went to Cheddar’s after my daughter’s college graduation (her choice). I ordered the onion rings. They were ok. I only ate a few because I wasn’t hungry. I’d been eating the whole day.
My only complaint was that my food wasn’t hot. It wasn’t even warm. More like room temperature. Other than that it was a great place to eat. It was a nice inviting family orientated restaurant where the food was decent and reasonably priced.

One of my triplets favorite restaurants in town. The croissants are out of this world and 2 orders are not enough. The prices are amazing and the drinks are surprisingly good. Probably one of the best chain restaurants in CoMo with a menu full of «comfort food»!

My wife wanted to go here for Mother’s Day. It’s never been my favorite restaurant but I thought it was okay. The wait was moderate to get into the restaurant which was understandable. Once we sat down and look at the menu we were able to order her food within about 10 minutes. We ordered an appetizer which came out in about 15 minutes, but then it took approximately 45 minutes to get our main course. Once our food came out it was not what we had expected. My older son’s pasta was lukewarm, my other kid’s grilled cheese was burnt, and my wife’s and my salads had warm wilted lettuce and lukewarm chicken. This is by far the worst experience we’ve ever had at the restaurant. This is not what we had hoped for to celebrate Mother’s Day. Needless to say I will not be returning.

This place is SO good. I ordered the Texas Cheese Fries (regular size) and I don’t regret it. It was only seven dollars but the serving size was huge. Our waitress was friendly and polite and when I bumped into a waitress, she apologized to me! The food was great (giant portions) and the service was too. I’d definitely come here again.

Fantastic! All of the food is homemade and you can tell! All of the staff is very friendly and courteous! And great atmosphere! You definitely believe that you are in a different world when you step into Cheddars! Nothing bad to say! All should go!

This was our third visit to Cheddar’s since they opened in Columbia. Our first visit was after their grand opening. The complete meal and dessert to 2.5 hours after waiting an hour to be seated. I swore that I would never go back. Second time visited with my in-​laws for birthday celebration. Service had improved. Today, we visited because we received a gift card from my parents. Greatly improved service.
I had a burger and fries. It was good and not to dry. Decent amount of fries. My wife had a chicken sandwich. She did not care for the sauce on the sandwich. Fresh steamed broccoli with a unique and tasty seasoning was the best part of the meal. It was tender enough without being soggy or not firm or crunchy like uncooked broccoli.
Overall a great meal. Rating a three star for now. Continued improves with service and I will raise the rating.

The atmosphere is casual chic and fun. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. Ordered the baby back ribs and they were beyond this world! Flavor and tenderness was simply amazing! Cocktails for the evening were cape cods and were simply perfect!

My wife and I have eaten at Cheddar’s many times. Except for the first 2 or 3 months after their grand opening, the service has been good to great, The restaurant is large enough that if there is a line, it moves pretty quick and, the wait is worth it.
It is worth noting that Cheddar’s is a made-​from-​scratch kitchen. I makes a difference!
My favorite meal is the grilled Cajun blackened catfish with a side of green beans and cole slaw. The fish is incredible. Hands down, this is the best grilled catfish that I have ever had. Their green beans are different, but delicious. The slaw is OK (a too-​sweet mayo dressing), but I like slaw with my fish so I settle for this. Give me a vineger dressing horseradish slaw any day.
My wife loves the grilled tilapia with mango sauce. Her favorite sides are the loaded baked potato or broccoli cheese casserole and she also loves their green beans.
Both the tilapia and the catfish come with rice and two more sides.
On a side note, I love that you can order lunch or full portions for many of the menu items.

The service was slow. Food was ok. Hubby enjoyed the Dijon Chicken very much. I tried his mashed potatoes and they were excellent! I had the Monte Cristo. As usual, they forgot to bring the preserves and I had to ask for them. The breading on the sandwich was too thick and also chewy. My side was broccoli cheese casserole and was very thick also and not extremely tasty. We drank a «painkiller» which was quite yummy.
We will probably come back someday but I won’t repeat the Monte Cristo.
