Cheddar’s Casual Café

absolutely delicious food! Service was wonderful! I had the baked spasagna which was delicious, my husband had the buffalo chicken wrap that was very good as well. Love the décor and style of the restaurant.

Excellent food and drink. We have tried many dishes and have yet to be displeased. Most staff seem good at their job or at least try. Once an issue with the trainer picking her nose went right back to making drinks without washing hands. (At the bar) Atmosphere is decent but as always people can be rude and noisy. Use your inside voices.

3 is generous only because the food was good. Pretty much ignored by Amber the bar tender the whole time we were there. 5 – 7 people stand at the end of the bar by the computer talking about personal things… Didn’t want or need to hear. Our second waitress Valerie was awesome and tried really hard to make up for us not having good service. My over all experience was… Ehhh? Would we come again???

This place is really really good. Prices were rather reasonable for the amount of food you get. You really get tons of food. Only complain is my steak was really rare when I asked for medium. They brought it back to kitchen and grilled it for a few more minutes. Didn’t charge for our 5 soft drinks because if steak issue. I would recommend this place.

I always eat the same thing at cheddars and this time I decided to try something different. I decided to venture out and get the chicken fried steak. I was so wrong. It was absolutely terrible. It was a horrible concoction of a frozen steak patty dipped in a batter that immediately went soggy once I cut into the steak. I want to try new things at cheddars but I’m scared to after this experience.

Excellent location! This place is always busy but it’s always worth the wait. The food is great and the prices are very reasonable. I have never had any bad service here either. The bar area is always great to sit at too for a meal or just for some drinks. One of the best restaurants in Waco even though it is a chain restaurant.

You wanna talk about a college throwback? Famous for huge portions at stupid affordable prices, Cheddar’s is a favorite for locals and college kids alike. Be prepared to wait around dinner time, whether a LONG wait on the weekend or a short one on the weekday.
Menu is huge, and there’s always something for everyone. It just might take you a while to find what it is since some things are much better than others. On average, food is cheap and reliable but not blow-​your-​socks-​off great.
My picks here:
Ribs
Chicken tenders
Broccoli and mashed potatoes
Strawberry tea
Cheese fries
Spinach and artichoke dip
Onion rings
Not-​so-​fave:
Fish dishes
Burgers
Broccoli cheese casserole (Dunno why people are so obsessed with it.)
Green beans
Chocolate cake (you can taste the vegetable oil in it)
I swear that prices have barely changed in the past 8 years. Chocolate cake is still 4.99, and spinach and artichoke dip went from $ 4.99 to $ 5.29 over the course of 8 years.
I always sit at the bar here, and my only suggestion is that this place gets a hardcore cleaning. It was super clean once upon a time, but my past two visits here were defined by sticky floor tiles, a smelly bar, a sticky bar top, and dirty bathrooms.
Lastly, food here is so cheap that I like to remind people to please take care of their servers. If they did a good job, please return the favor… don’t use the excuse of being a poor college kid or a poor local if you’re not gonna tip, like the two women at the bar sitting next to us today.
Now go enjoy that food coma.

Excellent service and food. Had the ½ sandwich with salad. Had a bloody Maria that was the best yet! Glad we stopped!

The waitress was horrible! I had a hair in my drink and kindly requested another. She rolled her eyes and took a long time to bring me back one and serve our table of friends. I could go on and on, but it’s not even worth my time. Just know that you must be prepared NOT to be impressed by the customer service.

One of the reviews said it best… average, average, average, average, average… you get the point. If you are taking the time to look for places to eat on Unilocal you probably should keep looking this isn’t the place for you. It’s just your average, run of the mill chain restaurant with a little of everything on the menu.

Typical American fair. It has all the things that you would expect. The restaurant atmosphere is pleasant. It does have less of a bar atmosphere than some of the other American restaurants like Chili’s or Bennigan’s. It’s definitely worth a meal but not with a special occasion.

I’m saying I’m a fan… but there isn’t anything really special about this place. The food is decent, but I can’t say I’ve eaten anything that I would ever crave or couldn’t get somewhere else. That being said, the inside is pretty especially for the prices. Great prices! I have a family of 7 and if we are all going out then I choose here cuz we can all eat for less than $ 60 (we just do waters if we all go, only 1 of my kids is young enough to order off of kids menu). They do have some interesting drinks on their menu and I think this is a great choice for younger couples out on a date. It’s pretty and inexpensive with decent food. I have never had a bad experience. Service has always been good. Been here about 4 times in the last 9 months.

Yum, yum, and yum! Cheddars is an absolutely fabulous food establishment! All I have to say is good things about them!

They don’t have brown gravy which was a downer! And they take forever to bring the food out! But over all the food is good! And kind of pricy for a casual restaurant

Sit down quality food at fast food prices.
The total bill for our group of 6 was $ 50. That’s including the appetizers and desserts we got. This place is very affordably priced and good. The service was great, everything arrived pretty fast. The setting was casual like chili’s or Applebee with a texas twist. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

I came with the family for dinner. Needed a table for 4 and we were immediately seated! It’s the little things. A server came to us shortly after being seated for our drink order. We all got water and it came out quickly. I decided to share food with my mom because I wasn’t too hungry at the time and I know the portions here are pretty big. She ordered the chicken fried steak (sides: mashed potatoes with white gravy and green beans). Everything was good and enough for my mom and me but the green beans were a little too watery and sweet for me. My sister ordered the baked spasagna and this dish is PLENTIFUL. She ate maybe half of it and took the rest home. She enjoys this dish and it’s her usual order here. My brother ordered the Philly cheesesteak (sides: fries). He said it was kind of dry but not bad, but he would not order it again. Leave the cheesesteaks to Philadelphia.
We placed a to-​go order for my brother who stayed at home and placed this order along with our food order. Our server brought out our check without placing this order because she forgot so we had to wait for the kitchen to make the food and bring it out. It was about a 10 minute wait. This could’ve been avoided if she had remembered but she’s human — it happens.
The total was $ 47 before tip.

I always enjoy myself here. I particularly like their cheesy broccoli casserole. Good service.

I think Cheddars is one of the best chain restaurants in Waco. The service is ok, but the food made here is better than its other locations in killeen and Austin.
My family always orders the spinach dip for our app. The onions rings and chicken tenders are very good too. I haven’t had a bad meal here. The food is consistently good and the portions are big.

I absolutely love and adore this restaurant! I’ve tried almost all the sides and even basic corn is good! Spagnasgna was new and exciting, and I also had ribs once that were so tender I was able to just pick at it with a fork and it fell off. My dining experience has Always been nice so I really enjoy it here.
