Gotta Love Cheddars by J B. at InsiderPages

Contributor at Insider Pages

Tasty food. Good service. Reasonable prices. Is that the dining out triple crown? I think so! And, Cheddars has got it all.

We love eating there, but don't wear yourself out on it (it can be addictive). Sample various goodies on the menu. The Monte Christo is A+ good. The soups are spectacular. Everything else is super-tasty.

What's not perfect? I would say that the pot pie is a little too much like pea soup for me. Don't waste any dough on the croissants. They're not very good and too sopped down with butter/oil. Dessert and drink selection is also exceptional.

The service is generally good. We've been there many, many times. Only once did we get a server who was average. Other than that, the service has been good.

The atmosphere is warm and relaxing. The ceiling fans can get a bit breezy, so if you're susceptible to getting irritated by drafts, bring along a sweater.

That's it. If you haven't been yet, I strongly recommend it. Enjoy!

PROS: Good food. Good service. Good price.

CONS: A couple of weak entrees.

decent food at a great price

by localite at Citysearch

My favorite dish is the country fried steak, it's so big it can't fit on the plate, My wifes favorite is the chicken caesar salad. Located in chain restaurant row , it has to be the best deal in Brandon.

Decent food, strangely cheap prices, weeknight eating out location

by netwerk23 at Citysearch

>The good: The food is consistently decent, not awesome but nothing really wrong with it either. The portions are typically really large and we usually take leftovers home. The drink menu is varied and their happy hour is pretty cheap. The service is decent, they seem to hire a lot of kids for their waitstaff and hostess jobs. There is lots of parking and they have a unique fan in the main dining room.

>The bad: While the food is good, it's nothing spectacular. This seems to be a restaurant that attempts to make up for the banality of their food with larger portions. In terms of value, this is great, but culinarians shouldn't expect to be blown away at Cheddar's. They seem to have confused there their freezer is as the dining area is always freezing cold. Their 'signature' chicken fingers are bland.

We have visited several times, including duing the saturday night rush and have never waited for a table. If informed of an hour wait (!), we'd politely decline and go to one of the other 400 restaurants in the area. Cheddar's is good and its value is excellent, but there's really no reason to wait an hour for a table.

Great Place, Great Value, love the atmospere

When you consider the uniqueness of the meals and the large portions they give you and the overall quality of the food, the price is excellent. My wife and I always share a meal and always come away full.

• Pros: Great food in a fun atmospere at a great price
• Cons: Long lines esecially on Friday and Saturdays Evenings. Expect to wait an hour, but worth it.
