Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Charlotte

Nothing but good service and food. I am surprised by the horrible reviews. I'm not saying they are not true, but fortunately my service and food has always been great. I do admit I have had to wait, but the waitress provided an appetizer, which was awesome customer service. I certainly hope I will never experience fraud and burnt food, yeah that would be unacceptable!

This bonus edition of Excited about Eating takes us to Cheddar’s Restaurant in the University area of Charlotte. This casual family restaurant, founded in Arlington, Texas boasts that they want to “be a great restaurant that serves quality food fresh from the kitchen in a friendly, comfortable atmosphere at a fair price.” I believe they accomplish this.

Awesome Experience. My children and I absolutely enjoy this establishment. The service is always wonderful and the food is delicious for an extremely great price.

Love this place!. Service is hit or miss,but I love the food. Chips with free beef!! Great burgers, pot pie,spasagna, cheese steak, ribs. Never had anything I didn't like. Don't forget to order a cookie monster skillet to finish it off!

Pleasant Surprise. Went to Cheddar's for the first time on Monday and was pleasantly surprised. It's a chain out of Texas but it came across as more of a local place than a chain. Light and airy and very tastefully decorated with excellent photographs of the Tar Heel State throughout the building. While not a local chain, someone did an excellent job in capturing the essessence of North Carolina in pictures.<br/ <br/ That said, the atmosphere is light and airy and the service is excellent. We were seated immediately and presented with out menu and drink orders taken promptly.<br/ <br/ My wife started with a nice bowl of potato soup. While I did not sample it, she proclaimed it to be very good. For an appetizer, we order one of their signature dishes, the Onion Rings. The rings were lightly battered and fried just right. They were served with two different dipping sauces. One was a nice ranch and the other a slightly spicy Western variety. Both were very good.<br/ <br/ I had a nice Caesar Salad as a side to my order of the Sheppard's Pie. The Caesar was very good but unfortunately I would only rate the Sheppard's Pie as fair. Great presentation but the meat stew was weak and lacked both a robust flavor or texture I'm familiar with in a Sheppard's Pie.<br/ <br/ My wife had the Monte Cristo Sandwich which she really liked. She said it had been a long while since she had even seen a Monte Cristo on a menu and that there rendition was very good. I tried a small sample and it was indeed very good. Ham was good texture and nice and sweet.<br/ <br/ Aside from the Sheppard's Pie which needs work, everything else was very good and we will be back next time we're over in the University Area. I do have to give them high marks for presentation and platting which is something I rarely get a chance to do with casual chain restaurants. It's a nice touch and patrons appreciate it.
