Cheddar’s Casual Café

I have been to the Bloomington location 3 times. The first time we had absolutely the worst service! The girl never came back to check on us. It took forver to get the check. I had a salad and we had a queso and chip app. My husband had a burger. The food was very good! The second time we had a good server. He was nice and seemed to care. I feel all the employees dont really care. They seem to have all vad attitudes except the one server. Very nice guy! The second time around I had a lighter item. It was fish. It was delicious. My husband had some app sampler. It looked good. The third time our server was so blah! She was nice enough brought us our food and plenty of drinks. She just had no personality. She really didnt talk. When she left she whispered or lower voice have a good day. It was so weird. I see her working at a data entry office job. Sorry, but so true. The food was good again. If you want good food and would not mind hit or miss service then check out cheddars. I gave 3 stars just because of the food. They really need to find better staff.

We’ve seen this chain multiple times while traveling but never stopped in.
There’s limited selections in this area so we gave it a try and were pleasantly surprised.
Service was prompt, friendly and attentive.
Décor is open, modern and clean.
The food is reasonably priced and well worth it.
All 3 of us enjoyed our selections.
While we typically avoid chains, I would recommend this one.

Everything was NOM NOM Delicious! Please open some restaurants out here in Washington State.

The food itself wasn’t bad but doesn’t really stand out either. What does stand out is that as far as the portions and sides you don’t get much for your money. I was not impressed. Maybe one day I’ll give it another shot but not really sure why I should. I can get very similar, equal or better quality food, and in much larger portions, for a far better price at someplace like 54^th Street Bar and Grill.

Ordered the Pecan Chicken Salad. Did not expect to get praline pecans!
Y U M M Y!
Great portion size.
Good pricing too.

Anything I have ever ordered here has been absolutely delicious at such a reasonable price. The drinks are also quite cheap – not by quality by any means. I would recommend this place to anyone!

We had an extra long 2 hour lunch so we decided to eat at Cheddar’s. I had the buffalo chicken wrap which was pretty good, the sauce was excellent. I couldn’t finish the whole thing, servings are generous! The service was ok. It took so long for the food to come out, I’m glad we had that extra hour! I did like the feel of the restaurant although it was fairly dark inside. This was my first time eating at a Cheddar’s and I’m sure it won’t be my last.

Let me begin by saying we are big fans of Cheddars but…
We went here today for lunch and sat in a booth in the bar area. The waitress took our drink order and we ordered an appetizer (chips and cheese dip). She brought our drinks and that is when things went south. My son tried to place his order and he didn’t speak clearly enough for her to understand so he repeated his order. Her entire demeanor changed and not for the better. After she took our orders my son stated that she really does not like him. I said I thought she was mad because she had to keep asking what. After we sat there for about 20 minutes with no appetizer and empty drinks. I noticed that a table that arrived after us had received their onion rings. The waitress continued to ignore our table. We were getting ready to walk out when our lunch, including the appetizer, was delivered. There was still no sign of our waitress so we asked the person that delivered our for refills. Our original waitress returned with our drinks but then seemed put out that we asked for the fries that were missing from our order. She brought the missing food and disappeared. She never asked how our meal was — it was horrible, she never asked if we needed anything else — we did. We had moved all the dirty dishes to the end of the table — 4 plates and 8 glasses. She came back to drop off our check picked up a couple of dirty plates and walked away. The service was horrible and the food was disappointing.

This is THE place for chicken strips! I love the buffalo chicken wrapper. It’s got the heat of buffalo sauce with the cooling benefit of cole slaw in the wrap. The portion is large enough that I usually take half of the wrap home. It comes with one side and I get the fries and dip them in extra buffalo sauce & ranch dressing. Good stuff! We often get chips and salsa as an app… it’s not on the menu but it is offered. This is a great place that serves great food for great prices!

Cheddars is a great place for dinner. The surroundings are nice and the food is usually top notch. Great service!

Hadn’t been here in years, but had a nice lunch. The service was very tentative, the soup was flavor able and it seemed priced appropriately.

Love the food. Good service, most visits. And friendly staff. Wait for a seat is worth it.

Cheap prices and Large portions, for the money it doesn’t get better.
The main reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was that one visit my wife ordered a steak, and she ordered it Medium.
It came out Rare, blood was oozing out as she cut into it, RED on the inside not pink. So she sent it back, it came back Well Done, completely brown all the way through. The manager delivered it to the table and asked if it was O.K.
My wife pointed out it wasn’t AGAIN. The manager proceeded to tell her that the first steak she sent back was medium. My wife pointed out the she orders steak quite a lot and it was RARE! The manager continued to argue, and at that point my wife said «Fine, bring us the check».
She called the Head Manager the next day and explained the situation, the Head Manager said she would check on it and call her back.
She called my wife back the next day and informed her the waitress confirmed that the first steak she sent back was almost raw on the inside. Cheddars made it right.
This was the only incident we’ve had there.
They have the best burger in Town (Smokehouse burger) and it’s only $ 5.59.
Order a side of Red Beans & Rice with it.

I would have gave 5 stars but our waitress was so busy it took her awhile to check on us and give us a refill. Food was very good, I could have easily shared with my husband. Other than that it was a great stop.

You have to give 5 stars to the most consistent restaurant in St. Joe. Great food and service!!!

This place is fantastic! The food comes in good portion sizes and is AFFORDABLE! I have been in town for training the last few weeks and have stopped by twice now and have left very happy both times.

Been to many Cheddars. This one didn’t impress me. Waiter had a bit of an attitude once we ordered water to drink on this hot day. Portion size seemed smaller than usual. First time I left Cheddars hungry. Even though they were almost empty took forever for food to arrive.

This is by far one of my favorite places to eat. I have been here several times and love everything about it! The prices are very good and so is the food! I have never been disappointed!

The luncheon special is a great deal for $ 6.99. You get to choose three entrees… I selected the Cesar Salad, stuffed baked potatoes and potato soup! Absolutely wonderful.

We stopped through town on our way to St. Louis and opted to eat at Cheddars after hearing good things about the Omaha location.
Both adults ordered burgers and our kiddo ordered the penne with marinara. Our wait time was very reasonable and the food was excellent. Fries were hot and not too much on the portion, and the coleslaw was nice and creamy. Not too vinegary or sweet. Our only critique is that the onion strings were a bit soggy. The kid’s pasta was cooked well and the marinara wasn’t too fancy (a good thing, as the kiddo likes a very plain sauce).
Our service was incredible and our iced teas didn’t get below ¾ full the entire visit. The value on our check was incredible; $ 23 and some change before tip. We can’t visit Wendy’s for that price!
