I wanted to treat my love to lunch on my day off, so we decided on Cheddar’s. We arrived just after noon, and the place was already buzzing with energy! Naturally, we started with a drink—nothing too fancy for me, just a refreshing cranberry vodka, while my love ordered the Maui Margarita . Both were vibrant, flavorful, and absolutely delicious.
To pair with our drinks, we kicked things off with the Wisconsin cheese bites—so addicting, they practically melted in my mouth . After savoring those, it was time for our entrées. My love enjoyed a perfectly cooked medium-rare sirloin with a loaded baked potato and grilled shrimp on the side. The green beans were a miss, but everything else was devoured without hesitation . As for me, I went with the classic chicken fried chicken—simple, hearty, and completely satisfying. We had such a wonderful afternoon our server Joshua took excellent care of us, the food and drinks were spot on, and we left with full and happy bellies. Thank you, Cheddar’s, for a fantastic experience!

Since the last time I have been here, Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen has gone down hill. The food quality has gone down, the service has gotten worse, and they’re always getting rid of things off their menu leaving less variety to choose from. This past time I went not only was the food served room temperature, but the appetizer came after the food. The whole dining experience was weird to say the least.

Highly recommended — 1000%! From the moment you arrive, they serve a complimentary bread that’s absolutely incredible in both flavor and texture — one of the best I’ve ever had! The food is amazing, with a wide variety of options that suit all tastes.
During this trip, we had lunch here twice, and both visits were fantastic. The service was also great — friendly, fast, and attentive. Without a doubt, this is a place we’ll return to the next time we’re in McAllen. A truly memorable experience!

Let me just start off and say that I have never in my life felt the need to speak with a supervisor, LET ALONE LEAVE A REVIEW ABOUT ANYTHING !!! but the service i just had has led me to do one. so i am going to be briefly be detailing all the experiences I’ve had at this location specifically at Cheddars.

I went to this cheddars and my friends and i went to the mens restroom to wash our hands and i saw one of the busboys not wash his hands after taking a leak.

I went to cheddars on another occasion and one of the waiters in the middle of taking our order walked away to go chase a butterfly or something. Lord only knows. We don’t have a consistent waiter, served wrong drinks, served croissants – well atleast i thought they were under the MOUNTAIN OF GLAZE ON MY CROISSANTS !!!

On another occasion when the restaurant was near empty, I went with my friends and asked for a booth, we were given a half booth half seats and when I politely asked if I could get a booth.
ANY other booth that was available (all of them). she (the hostess) groaned and said well “why don’t YOU sit on the booth side!”

Another thing. There’s always like 4 hostesses and they all don’t do anything. The customer service here is non-existent.

While Cheddars has always provided sub-par experiences, I will say that the food wasn’t (PAST tense) that bad quality for the price. This was the day that Cheddars had truly outdone themselves.

My friend and I ordered a 6 oz steak each. I ordered mine medium-well and he ordered his medium rare. We were served our steaks and let me say that my steak looked like a piece of the floor, but not only that it was way too overcooked. They also used so much salt I am still tasting it almost 12 hours later.

My friends steak on the other hand was completely RAW. completely RED with WHITE FAT all around the steak. I wish we took a picture of that but we aren’t the type to complain. We asked the waitress if we could get it cooked more and they offered to make a new steak. fine. it comes out and looks almost the exact same except this steak looked old and had the worst texture you can imagine. My friend tried not to complain and ate a chunk of the steak, as he was very hungry, but is now sick and has stomach pains. After looking more closely I told my friend that we need to let a supervisor know. We were concerned that this complete lack of care in the kitchen could get someone sick and needed to be addressed and showed the steak to the supervisor. The waitress as well as the male supervisor both looked at this steak and said it was a “perfect” medium rare. He said that they use “state of the art temperatures.” Complete bologna.

We had been there for what felt like an eternity. We paid and left defeated. I showed these pictures of the steak to my friend and he told me that he wanted second opinions, so we started calling people and asking for their opinions. They all said it was raw and we should ask for a refund.

We went back inside with our receipt and asked the General Manager Jennifer, who had the biggest forced smile on her face while having the nastiest tone. I asked her politely what she thought of the picture of the steak (if she thought the steak was medium-rare.) she says absolutely and that we should’ve asked for our steaks to be cooked more when seated. the only problem is that WE DID AND WERE SERVED NOT ONE, NOT TWO, BUT THREE POORLY COOKED STEAKS. (if including mine!)

before we can ask for a refund she states in a very nasty tone “you should have ordered medium.” i told her that wasn’t the problem. my friend always orders a medium rare steak and we know what a medium rare looks like. this is RARE, or more possibly BLUE RARE !!! YUCK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

she then goes to the back and comes back with 15 dollars in cash and says the same thing in a nasty tone and big nasty smile. “next time you should order medium!” i then had to tell her “we would take our business elsewhere, goodbye!”

May my Lord and Savior please forgive them for what they did to that cow.

Waited under 15 minutes for a table for 2 during Saturday lunch time! Cheese fries were BOMB, but the croissants & our drinks took a while to be brought. Got the country fried steak & hated it… absolutely no flavor on the meat or breading. First time ordering the country fried steak and was extremely disappointed. The chicken pasta salad was good but definitely ask for more dressing or it can be a bit dry.

Service was great, wait time was not bad at all. However, food was a disappointment. I decided to order the chicken Tenders & rib combo. The plate looked very appetizing when it arrived. However, the ribs were not edible at all. They were overcooked, dry, and hard. Manager came by to our table and offered to redo the ribs. I declined because my son has already finished his meal.

Wanted to try Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen again since its been awhile and its always been good. This time I think its the best service I have ever had, not only here but everywhere. Our server name is ( Julio, he deserve a raise by the way ) was very good. He always was polite and kind, and always attentive. He would always have another drink ready for us. Atmosphere was good, clean and not too loud. The food was great my Dad ordered the ribs with fried shrimp, my Mom ordered the country fried chicken and it was big like orders I think. I ordered the chicken and shrimp with grilled shrimp, but I think I should have ordered the fried shrimp but shrimp still good. Will come back again and ask for Julio and this time I won’t wait 2 years. I forgot to mention that we always had the sampler appetizer, we got the chip and nacho dip, tenders, and bacon and cheese fries. I was good.
