Reviews Summary

"Well we arrived at the Cheddar’s Restaurant on Campbell Lane at 5pm on Wednesday March 19th, 2024. There was no crowd, or waiting when we entered the restaurant. We were seated promptly at a booth for two not far from the entrance, and near the bar area. Our waitress arrived quite soon after, and said her name was Madeline. She took our drink orders, and brought us their signature honey sweet crescent rolls. They were very good, and we enjoyed eating them. It was quite soon that our server bought back our ordered drinks. My wife had ordered a Coke Zero, or Diet Coke, and I had a Sweet Tea with lemon. The tea was brewed quite well, and was properly sweetened to taste. We next reviewed our menu options, and gave our server our dinner selections. My wife had their Bourbon Glazed Grilled Salmon Dinner over white rice with a bake potato, and steamed broccoli with cheese. My wife said her meal was served hot, seasonly delicious, and very tasty to her palate. I had ordered their half slab of pork BBQ ribs, a side garden salad, and French fries. The ribs were quite tender, nicely seasoned, and deliciously prepared. The BBQ sauce was tangy sweet with a lightly charred caramelized glaze. The meat was very tender, and pulled off the bone nicely with a fork. Our overall experience was very good, and an enjoyable meal was served."

"Overall, not bad food and drank for 10 people and the bill was less than 200 and they give out a Vets discount. Overall, I gave it three stars since the quality of the steaks was not very good but I didn't really expect it to be either and the steak I ordered looked nothing like the photo on the menu. I ordered my steak Medium and my Mom ordered hers Medium well. Mine was over cooked but I'm not one to send it back over that unless it was well done and my Mom's streak looked cooked very well but overall the quality of the meat...as expected was tough and not very tender. My Mom order sirloin and then complained it was tough, but honestly that's what you get when you order Sirloin. I'll also assume the meat is not USDA Prime but maybe a select or choice which would be expected at this price point. Had never been the Cheddars before and although it gets three stars overall, I would go back. We came in last min with 10 people and the server was really nice and attentive so that's why I gave the service 5 stars. Atmosphere was fine, they gave us a table in the back and we had a good time. Prior to sitting, they already had some croissants on the table with some frosting on them and they were amazing. I also ordered some cheese curds but they were gone so fast before I took a pic. No Cheddars on the west coast, but definitely a good value for a large family."
