Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen

Came here for a business meal at the insistence of my guests who I should have smacked for taking me to such a soulless food factory.
Ordered the fish tacos which were terribly over-​salted and covered with a pinkish, slimy sauce which oddly had no flavor. The green bean side was watery and bland.
Only reason it is not one star is the waitress was pleasant.

Very good food at great prices and a great atmosphere. My favorite is the New Orleans Pasta, which is amazing, but I’ve never really had anything bad to eat here. One word of advice would be to stay away from the steaks, they aren’t that great, which you should know just by looking at the price. Cheddars is also great for lunch! If you’re coming for dinner though, be prepared to wait a bit as lines can get a bit long especially on weekends.

I ate here last night. The food was ok. It was served slightly cold. I was extremely offended by the rude staff. Our server was ridiculously rude. She acted as if she was so annoyed she had to wait on us. When she spoke to me she looked at me and over exagerated her mouth as she formed her words and spoke as if I were a two year old. The food is ok but not worth the less than customer friendly environment.

When driving through York on our way home from points South, we generally stop at Cheddar’s. It is surprisingly good.
My husband is a meat eater and enjoys their steaks and ribs. They are tasty and moderately priced.
As a pescatarian, I can always find something good to eat.
My only complaint is their «sides» list is very limited and there aren’t enough actual vegetarian sides (I ordered rice and red beans, but sent it back because it was loaded with meat.) The green beans, again, bacon so it is difficult to get a veggie plate that is actually vegetarian.
The place is large and the staff is professional and friendly.
Another plus– they have petite size desserts on offer, and they are very good, and really the perfect size.

Stopped here on a Sunday afternoon with the family for lunch/​early dinner. We got excellent service from our waitress, Marissa. And the food was pretty good also! Daughter had the ribs, excellent. Wife had Dijon Chicken, couldn’t have been better. Son had a bacon cheeseburger with a side of Mac and Cheese. He wanted more Mac and Cheese. I had the Lemon Pepper Chicken, very good. We had Onion Rings and Quesadilla appetizers. They were great. The food was excellent, Marissa was excellent, the volleyball was good. Will visit again when we are in the area and definitely recommend to others!

Service was friendly but somewhat inexperienced.
Cosmo drinks from bartender… awesome!
Food was good… food arrived about 45 minutes after we ordered.

The Monte Cristo OMG so delicious and the tortilla soup is so yummy ! Love stopping when in York and the priced can’t be beat

The menu selection is large, the space large (and noisy), and always busy. The food was unremarkable, but their martini shaker margarita was fanastic and their frozen drinks are huge.

This Baltimore girl as always wanted to come here and overall I enjoyed it. We were sat quickly, but it was strangely crowded for a Monday. Our server was cordial and quickly brought drinks. I ordered spasagna, lasagna made from spaghetti and it was delicious. The Caesar salad was the bomb too! Others in my party weren’t too happy, stay away from the steaks. I would come back!

I think during my visit (09/​29/​2015) any management on duty, must have been on vacation or out back smoking. staff clowns around too much…
First upon entering the hostess was on her cell phone texting and seamed disturbed that she had to quit and put the cell phone down to do her job, greeting us. Second the Bacon Cheese Burger are now smaller, do not taste as good and are more expensive than they used to be; only ate about one-​half, nasty… Third the Chicken Tender Platter was too greasy to eat and we took most of them home; even my dog did not want to eat them; waste of money… All of that said the some-​what loaded baked potato was really good, best part of the meal. The food quality and portion size has declined since my last visit BUT your prices have gone up. I know prices go up, but don’t raise the price and lower the quantity and quality, just poor business doing that. Lastly whoever cleans the tables and booths really needs to do a better job, just wiping crumbs from the top of the table and leaving smearing on the tabletop and seating area is just lazy and unattractive before sitting down to order a meal; makes one wonder what the kitchen area looks like… Nice smaller menu BUT the food that comes out from the kitchen looks nothing close or similar to the pictures on the menu, just saying…

The food is great and the price is just right! Every time we are in York we stop here. Get the ribs, the sample ap. platter, croissant rolls.

This is the 5^th or 6^th time eating at this place. The last time we ate here food was already borderline. I had ribs and chicken plater. My boyfriend had chicken steak with mashed potatoes. Alan had a cheeseburger. All 3 of us got sick. Was it the food? We ate here yesterday we had pretty much the same food. Side order, their beans, highly recommend. We could not eat the beans. Horrible is an understatement. The manager did come to the table and told us they never had complaints about the beans. I asked him to try them. I don’t eat beans was his responds, but he will let the culinary chef know. This time 2 of us got sick. Coincidence? Maybe they changed management, maybe they changed chefs. We will not go back.

Worst experience ever. I have been here a few times but this was by far the worst. We say down pretty quick for being a party of 10 but it took 15 minutes for a waitress to ask for our drink order and then another 15 minutes for her to bring them out. Our appetizers came before the drinks. Slamming the drinks on the table causing them to spill on me. She disappeared for another 10 minutes then came back to take our order. She took out order then we waited for another hour for out food. We had to get the manager to find out where our food was. Then as our food started to come out the orders were wrong and they forgot someone’s complete meal. So they gave her someone else’s and said here eat this until we get yours. So we had to put in for some sides missing and a steak that wasn’t prepared correctly and the one meal. 20 minutes later Then another waiter came out who said our waitress left the premises what could he get for us and we again had tell him what’s we were missing and put in for drink refills because that hadn’t happened. Needless to say we were there for 2 ½ hours with sides that never came a waitress who decided to return and tell us it was all the kitchen fault to the kitchen saying they never got the order until we complained to the manager and we saw the kitchen ticket time which matched the kitchens story. And in the end we got the entire meal free with the exception of alcoholic beverages which lucky for us weren’t refilled but once.

First experience at a Cheddar’s. Husband got ribs and said they were good but not beast ever. I had chicken Alfredo. It was good but the chicken was spicer than I would have liked. Noise level was moderate (from people talking not from music). Service was OK. Our server was nice but just didn’t check on us a lot. They get one extra star for good sweet tea. We were surprised to see sweet tea beyond the Mason-​Dixon Line.

We decided to stop for a bite to eat on our way back from Gettysburg. Service was lackluster and they were not even busy. I got the grilled salmon with bourbon sauce. It was just on the side of overcooked and overwhelmed by the chopped onions. My broccoli was over cooked. My supposed loaded baked potato only had a dollop of sour cream and about 5 slivers of cheese, no butter. Um, that’s not a loaded baked potato. He had the chicken fried chicken that was soggy and placed on top of a piece of Texas toast that was grilled on one side and soggy too. His green beans are also over cooked and barely recognizable as such. We would have told the waiter this but he never came back to the table until we pushed the plates to the end because we just couldn’t eat any more, actually there was no desire to eat any more.

No complaints. The food was really good and cheaply priced I thought. Spinach dip was really good as an appetizer. Bacon cheese burger was good to how I ordered it and was very tasty. Service was fast.

My overall impression of this restaurant is they’re projecting an upscale image with weird ceiling fans, stonework walls, and dark wood décor, so it’s a surprise that menu prices are actually lower than other chain restaurants like Ruby Tuesday. So the food, at least, is a decent value and I was actually not disappointed with the taste either. Where everything fell apart for me was the service. It was very slow and the server seemed to disappear for long periods of time. When he did show up, he was polite, although his manner was very, very strange to me. Actually, they (the host, the food runner) all had strange affectations, so perhaps I’m just not used to Central Pennsylvania.

Bacon Cheddar Burger was good! The Mac and cheese side was kinda small for what I paid for it but tasty!
And the Wedding Cake alcohol drink was amazing!

Took my wife here on a date night. We had heard great things, and wanted to check it out. The inside is loud, and you can barely hear the person at the table across from you. The wait was horrendous. The service was absolute crap. Oh, and the food — you can tell from the average stars that the people eating here think Olive Garden is fine dining. Everything was over-​salted and horrible.
You couldn’t pay me to recommend or eat at this place again.

I’m back again. This time I came here with my family and two of my close friends. They were some what busy and we has a party of 8, however we didn’t wait long. We were seated in two booths back to back from one another. I ordered my favorite drink, Texas tea. As I was looking over the menu I noticed they no longer have my shepherds pie. This was very disappointing. I ended up going with the half rack of BBQ ribs. They were good and they came with two sides. I chose the mac and cheese and broccoli cheese casserole.

We ate here two years ago, when they first opened, and it was a bad experience. Fast forward two years and we decided to give it another try. I’m glad we did. Everyone deserves a second chance.
From the front door to the manager ~ service was great. I had the bourbon salmon with brown rice… salad on the side. The salad came in a large bowl with a great honey mustard dressing. When my meal came it TOO had a salad on the plate ~ oops! I had ask for salad instead of choosing two sides, but had I known there would be so much salad I would have invited the rabbits to joins us! The salmon was delicious!

Love this place! First visited when I still lived out of state and was very impressed. Now that I live here again, I go about twice a month.
Service is always great, and food is delicious! And you can’t beat the prices either, very good value for what you pay.
My favorites are the key west chicken and shrimp, and the salmon with bourbon sauce. Both are very good! And the chips with queso (and free beef if wanted) are a requirement every time I go.
I would definitely recommend Cheddar’s if you’re thinking about a great meal at a great price.

Man oh man this place… seriously one of the worst food experiences I have ever had. The ambiance is very nice, the staff seems nice, the managers were nice… but the food was AWFUL.
Nachos…turned out to be a few burnt pita chips with burnt taco meat on them, and a small pile of sour cream and lettuce in the center.
Wedge Salad… normally .one of my favorite things to order anywhere… was a cube of old lettuce with a drizzle of some white dressing on it. No bacon, no blue cheese, no tomatoes… nothing to make this anything beside a cube of lettuce. Gross.
Steak? Can we call it a steak? It was about two times the size of my thumb. I have really small hands.
I will not return. I will not recommend this place to anyone. I seriously question the taste buds of anyone claiming this place has good food. I mean, even Applebys is better and Applebys is pretty godawful.

My wife and I ate here for dinner last night for the first time. This place has been open for a few months now but we never got the chance to go to this establishment until last night.
The parking is ample and the restaurant is clean. The bar and dining area are nice and have a cozy feel.
The menu has a lot of items to chose from and after looking over it for about 10 minutes I realized that I would have eaten most of the items featured on the menu. Good selection at moderate prices.
The portion sizes are great for the price you pay. My wife got a margarita for $ 4.95, we split an appetizer for less than $ 5 and got two entrees for less than $ 20 and then finished it off with a mini dessert for $ 1. Nice prices huh? The food was tasty and good and the service was great. Our server was attentive and polite.
If you haven’t tried this place out, give it a try. I hope you have a dinning experience as good as my wife and I did.
Thank you for reading my review. This review is based off of my personal opinion and experience.
