Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Charlotte

Love this place!. Service is hit or miss,but I love the food. Chips with free beef!! Great burgers, pot pie,spasagna, cheese steak, ribs. Never had anything I didn't like. Don't forget to order a cookie monster skillet to finish it off!

Pleasant Surprise. Went to Cheddar's for the first time on Monday and was pleasantly surprised. It's a chain out of Texas but it came across as more of a local place than a chain. Light and airy and very tastefully decorated with excellent photographs of the Tar Heel State throughout the building. While not a local chain, someone did an excellent job in capturing the essessence of North Carolina in pictures.<br/ <br/ That said, the atmosphere is light and airy and the service is excellent. We were seated immediately and presented with out menu and drink orders taken promptly.<br/ <br/ My wife started with a nice bowl of potato soup. While I did not sample it, she proclaimed it to be very good. For an appetizer, we order one of their signature dishes, the Onion Rings. The rings were lightly battered and fried just right. They were served with two different dipping sauces. One was a nice ranch and the other a slightly spicy Western variety. Both were very good.<br/ <br/ I had a nice Caesar Salad as a side to my order of the Sheppard's Pie. The Caesar was very good but unfortunately I would only rate the Sheppard's Pie as fair. Great presentation but the meat stew was weak and lacked both a robust flavor or texture I'm familiar with in a Sheppard's Pie.<br/ <br/ My wife had the Monte Cristo Sandwich which she really liked. She said it had been a long while since she had even seen a Monte Cristo on a menu and that there rendition was very good. I tried a small sample and it was indeed very good. Ham was good texture and nice and sweet.<br/ <br/ Aside from the Sheppard's Pie which needs work, everything else was very good and we will be back next time we're over in the University Area. I do have to give them high marks for presentation and platting which is something I rarely get a chance to do with casual chain restaurants. It's a nice touch and patrons appreciate it.

Awesome food. Only come when we're in Charlotte but it's great

Cheap and Good. Love Cheddars so much. Went out to Missouri once and the one out there had loaded potato skins as an app and it was the best thing I ever had. Too bad the one here didnt have it. Please get it. I'll pay what ever you want just offer it. Please try the broccoli casserole.

Great group dining. This place has a nice, laid back atmosphere and is a great place for group dining. But they don't take reservations and they tell you that if you call. But we didn't have to wait longer than 10 min to be seated on a Saturday! There is a variety to please everyone and the food is good. The prices also just can't be beat. The portions are out of control! You may actually want to share or you'll definitely have leftovers. I had the tilapia with mango salsa--EXCELLENT!!! My husband had the fried catfish--He LOVED it (it came with 7 pieces though, so ask for a doggy bag). My mother-in-law had the ribs and chicken fingers--Way too much for her small appetite, but it was good especially for the price. I would go back.
