Bar area nice. Loved the fish tank. The croissants were devine. Light and buttery. Ordered chicken pot pie. It was just ok. It needed more seasoning. The broccoli cheese casserole was kind of dry. Baked potato and salad were good.

We were seated quickly with no wait. Our order was taken promptly. We realized there was a problem with our order when patrons seated after us were getting their meals.y companion ordered a pick 3 appetizer plate for his meal. I ordered the grilled Shrimp alfredo. I did not realize the shrimp were blackened. The manager understood our concern regarding our long wait and discounted our food order. I would really have to think hard before patronizing this establishment again

As an occasional visitor to this establishment, this was our worst experience here yet but unfortunately the decline seems to be a trend. We were super excoted to find a restraunt without an extensive waittime given that it was a weekend at peak dining hours, but our excitment faded after waiting over an hour and a half for our food! Our waiter only visited occassionally, never offering an explanation for the delay. My husband and I honestly began to wonder if he simple forgot to enter our order onto the kitchens cue burn we never complained or pushed the issue. Patrons all around us arrived after us and were finished and leaving before our food came out. Upon a much anticiated arrival, the steaks were overcooked and had a crunchy almost burnt side and the fries were so salty that they almost gave off a spicy flavor. After our food arrived it felt like we came a burden to the waiter who just wanted us gone.
The women’s restroom had experienced a significant water leak from the ceiling into the back stall, instead of closing the stall at some point long before our visit, which would have been understandable as it was the only handicap stall, towels were thrown in the floor behind the toliet and below the ripped open hole in the ceiling. From the service to the cleanliness everything felt sub par, which was greatly disappointing for my husband who typically enjoys Cheddars.

The food was very good! I had an each of ribs and the wife had the chicken pot pie! The restaurant is very nice and nicely decorated with Christmas deco when you enter. Our server, Laura Was excellent! She checked in on us often, but not too often. The fries came out under cooked, but our server, Laura took care of it immediately and brought out a perfect batch! Laura Is a top notch server!

This was our first visit to Cheddar’s and we are impressed,from appetizer to main dish food was good and served at appropriate temperatures. Our waiter Devante and the manager were exceptional, waiter was attentive and engaging,manager stopped and checked on us and was friendly…only bad thing I saw there was a waitress with a large tattoo from one hip to the other on her backside which she was proudly displaying with her shirt pulled up enough that it could be seen,wouldn’t stop us from going back but not necessary in that setting

Was excited to go to the restaurant. We arrived 10 minutes after opening and was seated upon arrival. Set there for over 15 minutes and was never waited on. When we were leaving the hostess asked if anyone acknowledged us. We stated that nobody ever came to the table. There were 3 or more employees standing and talking so we left the restaurant and went to Logan’s Roadhouse. Very disappointed.

We were driving from Richmond to Knoxville, TN and were happy to see a Cheddar’s!
The hostess was friendly and seated our party immediately. It was the lunch hour.
Our server, Ryan, was awesome and took very good care of us. He was fun and friendly.
The croissants were fabulous, our food was just as we ordered and was delicious. We thought the portions for the price point were amazing. We had a lot of food!
Thanks for a fun dining experience!

Their food is excellent. At least their salmon, it’s so good that it’s actually the only thing I’ve ever ordered as my main course the few times I’ve been there but every time I ordered it it was absolutely delicious. Service has always been good also. It’s my ‘go-to’ place when I’m in Cookeville

The food never disappoints. I love the cheese bites. And the bread with the honey butter drizzle………

I just love this Cheddars! The food is always consistent and delicious, big portions, fair and affordable prices. Wait time for food can be up and down like most restaurants but usually perfectly paced here except occasionally. I had Stephanie today for my server and she was great. Whoever made the chocolate hot fudge cake that I got for my birthday treat today (12/11/2025) knocked it out of the park. I got the cake to-go and just now ate part of it for a night snack and it prompted me to leave a review because it was so heavenly.
