I was with friends and we had a wonderful experience. I could not have asked for better food or service. Jennifer was magnificent. She was courteous and timely and very thoughtful. Jennifer can be a pretty popular name so I definitely want to make sure credit goes to the correct woman. So, the Jennifer that looks like Heidi Klum. I believe she said she has three kids and her oldest recently turned 16. She was an absolute professional and a joy. My friends and I will definitely be making return visits to this Cheddar's location.

The food is overall good, but watch out for extra seasoning and dressing. If anyone has a sensitivity to seasoning, I would tell them either no seasoning or light seasoning. Our server was very good about refilling drinks and checking in on us. The prices are also very reasonable and if u haven't had their croissants these are an absolute must. Although recently they have not been coming out warm, their croissants are still amazing with that honey butter. The ribs were our favorite entree.

Alex was amazing and attentive our family was spoiled!!!! Walked right in and was seated under two minutes! Food was abundant fresh and correctly cooked. We left satisfied and Alex our server was such a great listener and he was refilled drinks asked us at least 4 times before we were done if everything was good if we needed anything . I'm amazed! I don't go out much due to how bad service industry has gotten he really did impress! You gotta try the Cheddar's pain killer it was delicious!

Stopped in for lunch on 3/30 & sat at the bar. Lauren offered excellent service, held a conversation with us, friendly & quick. We ordered the chips & queso and honey butter croissants for an appetizer. Both were great. For our meal we ordered the Monte Cristo & the Vegetable Plate. Food was delicious and well prepared.
