The chain does a good job with standards and this location was no different. Clean and Enjoyable. The Food is plentiful & good. Staffing shortage has definitely hit this location hard. Not the staffs fault but everything was slow, and messy. We had a group of 8. A 30min wait was about 60. The manager made it a point to greet tables, introducing herself and assisting with food delivery with just about every table. We had to ask several times to get refills or to take empty plates, cups, appetizers off the table just to make room. Food was good and as ordered and the managers attempt is what i am helping helped my rating.

The burgers are good, and so are the onion rings and onion strings. However, I was told they no longer offer onion rings or onion strings. The chicken fingers were a bit hard. The broccoli was great. Outdoor seating was a nice option for a good weather day.

My friend and I stopped at this Cheddars to eat on our way to Evansville as we love the one in Lafayette. Much to our disappointment, our experience was one of the worst we've ever had at a restaurant. When we arrived, we stood at the front desk and were not greeted for several minutes. We requested to be seated in the bar area and were told it was a 5-10 minute wait, which is fine. However, when we went to follow the hostess, she started to lead us in the opposite direction. I asked her about sitting in the bar area and she said "Oh, yeah, you can just go in there and pick a seat" My friend and I walked in and picked on of the only clear table tops in the bar area, 3-4 of the other tables were covered in food/dishes waiting to be bussed. Those same tables were still dirty when we left after eating. That is not to say they were short staffed. . . . in fact approx. 5-7 waiter/waitresses spent the majority of the time sitting at or standing around the bar chatting and texting. Waiting for a server to come, another customer had to approach the staff crowded around the bar to ask for their check. Our "server" never approached us, we were waited on by the bartender and she didn't use anything to write our order down. Both my friend and I ordered medium rare ribeye meals, nothing too complicated. The croissants were incredibly dry and burnt, the food arrived and they gave me the wrong cut of steak (t-bone instead of ribeye), both steaks were well-done as opposed to medium rare and the two sides on both plates were not in separate dishes so the steak juices were all over the sides. The broccoli casserole was dry, the carrots were undercooked. Once we were served our food, no one came to check on us again until handing us the check. And despite my friend asking for A1 sauce when the food was delivered, the bartender promptly forgot and I had to get up and get it myself. When using the restrooms, I didnt even want to sit down - They were disgusting. The women's toiletry bins were overflowing on the floor and there was trash all over the floor. One of the stalls was covered in what I hope was water and not pee - Overall, Im amazed. . . in the worst possible way. Train your staff to be more competent when it comes to food service, clean your restaurant & bathrooms, and have your chefs get retrained on how to cook a proper steak.

If you have more thN 6 people with your party I would. We had 12 last time we went and it wasn't busy at all and we had about a 15 MN wait so they could clear a section large enough to seat us together.

Is this place always so slow... it doesn't look busy.

I always sit in the bar. I think a lot of times the bar side is busier than the dining room. But after 8 on a week night is going to be slow, plus this is finals week.

Does Cheddar's accept reservations?

Yes they do but it is usually for large parties. I'm not sure if they accept reservations for a party of just a few unless it is a special occassion such as Valentine's day.
