Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - York

My first time in Cheddars and it was a good time. I have the rib with coconut shrimp, south green beans and red beans and rice. My wife has the Monte Cristo. The food was great and the portions are big. Service was also great. We drove from Maryland to come here. It was worth the ride and we'll be back.

Best part of the meal was the appetizers. I got the ribeye and half of it was fat and grisly. (See pic). Tables sat dirty after customers left.floors were not swept either. Waitress was very good. It took me 10+ years to try this a 2nd time. Won?t be a 3rd!!

I will start with a disclaimer stating all comments are of my own opinion. Please visit the establishment to form your own opinion. Tonight's dinner consisted of Dijon Chicken and mushrooms with baked potato and cole slaw and the 14 Oz ribeye with fries and rice. The ribeye was tasty. Well done on one side, and a nice medium rare on the other balanced out the doneness profile. Very little, if any gristle or fat leaving the entire steak enjoyable. While the honey mustard glaze on the chicken was tasteful. The chicken itself had the consistency of rubber. I'm not a salter however the mushroom had the taste of a salt block to me. If your someone who enjoys salt, they may be perfect. The price was on point and the service was ok. It was obvious the manager was doing two steps to everyone else's one.

The Monte Cristo was the best food overall that we had here! The sweetness of the French toast breading and the raspberry preserves went so well with the smoked ham, smoked turkey and cheese! I would stop by here again!

The place was inviting and cozy. I was immediately greeted and the door opened to welcome me in. The menu/food was what I expected from the description. It reminded me of some home cooked food from my Maryland life. It was not Pennsylvania dutch. I tried some signature dishes, that I found enjoyable. The wait times for service were not bad; arrived around 5 p.m. on a week night. The server herself was a bit overwhelmed and could not engage at all, but in recognizing current staffing situations and observing her 7 or 8 tables at one time, I completely understand. One of the signature drinks was beautiful in presentation and tasted very nice too. For me, it is almost always wine after work, so I was able to order a nice table wine with fruit notes. For a family outing or for stopping for dinner just because, I think this is a good choice.
