Cheddar - McDonough

We were not in cheddars for over a year because of an earlier bad experience. we were very satisfied with the eating and the server. When we arrived, they said it was a 45-minute waiting time and it took only 35. the dinge were a bit slow, but our server javara was very good. we ordered the trio appetizer that was good. the croissant rolls with honey butter were delicious. items ordered for dinner were monte cristo sandwich, chicken pliers meal, cheeseburger, steak, alfredo with huhn and land roasted steak meal. all were very good and properly cooked. my only disappointment was on the new menu that they don't have wobble rings. after this visit we go back.

I had the 8 oz Top Sirloin. I requested Med steak with a loaded baked potato with broccoli casserole. This was Sunday but the crowd wasn't bad. We were at table 44 and our server was Laronda L. Our server was hard to find throughout the meal. I received my steak the was more than well done (burnt inside and out). She took my meal back but that meant I had to watch my wife eat and she had to then watch me. The Broccoli Casserole had dry powder on top where they didn't make sure it mixed with the oils of the cheese. The potato said it was loaded, which to me, means butter, sour cream, cheese, bacon, and/or chives. it didn't have bacon or chives. The manager checked with us but he really didn't offer a solution to our issues (really too late to help). It's only the second time I ate at Cheddars but it will be my last. Not a good experience, again two hours from curb to curb...that was nuts and mostly due to the lack of attention given by Laronda L. This was lunch for 2. it was 43.60 after tip which is not cheap considering we only had water to drink. Poor use of my money but a lesson learned.

I want to start by saying that the food and service at this restaurant (located just off I-75) are excellent. I ordered a lunch combo which included soup and meatloaf that was even better than Mom's. The potato soup was a bit salty for my taste, but that may be because I never use salt and am very sensitive to it. The fresh baked croissants with honey butter were delicious. The meatloaf was a huge portion and came with made from scratch mashed potatoes. I would have given this restaurant a five-star review, but I needed to do some work on my laptop and the wifi was not working.

First time in awhile to stop for food. Ordered off the lunch menu. Ordered the Not your Mama's meatloaf and I can tell you this. No it wasn't !! This was horrible for meatloaf. I can cook and my meatloaf tastes 100% better. Maybe they need my recipe. Garden salad was great as was the waiter!!

The drinks, the meal, the sweet buttery croissants were divines. Superb flavors and atmosphere. Everyone was smiling.
