Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen

Good food, I recommend the croissant and chicken fried chicken. Only negatives was the tea was weak and the patrons a few tables away were loud and obnoxious to my party as well as others trying to enjoy the fine meal.

First off, I love Cheddars, they are one of my favorite chains. But was rather disappointed tonight! First I was seated and left at a dirty table. After 10 minutes went by my waiter finally showed up. Pointed out the dirty table and gave my drink order… Well another 10 minutes went by before he showed up with my tea, but no rag. Had to ask another waiter was my server new, to that he just rolled his eyes and shook his head. Finally ordered my onion rings, which are always fabulous, and they were right on par this time! Wanting to go out of the box on my dinner this time I went with the «baked spasagna» which looked like a lump of spaghetti stuck together with a red sauce dumped over half of it, and most on the plate. Well it was OK at best, till I got half way through and found a hunk of plastic sheeting in it??? The super nice manager Mike comped that part of the meal for me, which made things better. In the end I will still at Cheddars again and again!

The food was pretty good, but the service was HORRIBLE. The server forgot my daughters drink was never brought, and even when we mention to the server that their Caesar salad tasted super lemony, he just said thanks and took them away. Definitely not the best example of cheddars.

Chicken strips rival the best on town. The Monte christo is unreal! The blackened catfish was off the hook! (Zing!) The broccoli and cheese casserole is the only side I get, and the honey butter croissants are so awesome. I tried to order just a sheet of them, but the waitress thought I was joking.
Service is prompt and friendly, the atmosphere is relaxing, and the food screams comfort. You really can’t go wrong with Chedders!

Imagine an Applebee’s, but with good food. The food was very good AND made from scratch. I ordered the blackened catfish with green beans and macaroni. It was like $ 10 which surprised me but the bartender said its cheap because they don’t advertise like the other guys. Anyway I’m definitely coming back. Check it out.

I come here all the time, and every time the service and food are outstanding. Their prices are cheaper than some fast food places. This night in particular, we ordered dessert, but it was taking a while to come out. About 15 minutes after ordering it, and without any complaint what-​so-​ever, the manager came by, apologized about the wait and had the desserts taken off of our ticket! I HIGHLY recommend this wonderful restaurant!

I was staying at the hotel behind Cheddars so it was easy for to go orders and everything we had was perfect very good my go to place when in Lubbock

I went there one night with some friends. It was my first time. I had their ribs & chicken tender combo with broccoli and a baked potato, my friend had their ribs & fried shrimp combo and our other friend had their catfish with broccoli. Their ribs were fall off the bone and delicious. Their chicken tenders are amazing. Their portions are pretty big too which was good. I had their Maui Margarita and it was delicious. Everything was so good, I was unable to finish it all. I will definitely be going back. Yum!

I got the worst food poisoning there I’ve ever had. It was 2 months ago. I was totally sick for 3 days. Went to the doctor and they comfirmed it. I had to get medication and the whole nine yards. Nice aquarium though. Every time I hear the word cheddar I get nauseous now! Do Not Eat There!!!

It’s the day after Christmas and everyone is out shopping or exchanging. So too, the staff’s have been decimated by the Christmas break. The staff is tasked to limit making rounds to buss tables, take orders and serve. Our table was simple duplicate orders. Soup was potato, and arrived Luke warm. Should have been a sign. Dinner arrived and fries were cool, chicken tenders on the salads were cool also. Bumber for the ladies, one wanted to send it back, but wait staff were few and far between. I’ll give them a 4 star due to the season/​date. But, if it were to continue this restaurant has management problems, and a lower rating due.

Came to cheddars for dinner, had great service from Dawn at the bar, she is very outgoing, knows her menu. Cold beer at inexpensive price. Good place to watch Monday night football.

Excellent service. The chicken fried chicken is fantastic. Also the croissant are wonderful. Highly recommended Cheddars in Lubbock.

I always have loved the Cheddars chain and this one did not disappoint. I’m here in Lubbock on business and found a Cheddars. I immediately bookmarked this location and headed here for a late lunch.
My co worker suggested that we get these vodka ice teas and they were a big bit. The menu says that you are only allowed to drink 2! We order our main meals which I had the grilled catfish with broccoli casserole and mashed potatoes and my coworker had the fried shrimp and chicken tenders with red beans and Mac and cheese. It wasn’t very crowded so our food came out quickly. It was delicious! And the drink had me feeling pretty good. The check came and it was @ $ 30 for both of our meals including the drink!
Well we left pretty full and satisfied and little did I know we would return today.
We had another event to attend and after getting watered down drinks there we returned later tonite to have 2 more ice teas and that meant we had a total of 3 today! This will be my go to drink from now on whenever I visit a Cheddars. Thankfully we made it back to our hotel room only 4 miles away, with out incident.

Great food and they usually are spot on with the portions. My only complaint is the service is a little on the slow side. Also, be prepared to freeze – as they keep the restaurant AC and fans on full blast!

The food is okay. Costs too much for what you get. I have been multiple times and it always takes forever, and when I get my food it is always barely warm (like it’s been sitting out too long). Most of the time my service was ok. Not a choice place to eat in Lubbock in my opinion.

Very poor expeeience. Food was poorly prepared which was surprising since I have always enjoyed eating here. This location was a huge disappointment!

The worst service in Lubbock.
The entire experience was horrible. The young, snotty server was extremely rude. The «grilled shrimp» was swimming in a mystery brown sauce & rice. Our party was only 2. Myself & my son, the server never refreshed our drinks, walked past us several times and never spoke. From start to finish we were there almost 2 full hours, and we were seated as soon as we walked in. I’d hate to see what a busy night wait is. There were people just milling around, not doing anything. Terrible service all the at around. Never going there again.

All around a solid place to go if you’re in from out of town and looking for a quick meal and a good bar. They are in the parking lot with several hotels, which is kind of their M.O., but they have a nice bar area (little small) with several tvs and plenty of sports on. The happy hour is solid as well and the good is on par with what you should expect at this type of establishment.

Today I visited Cheddars in Lubbock; a busy day with game 7 of the NBA finals. I decided to sit at the bar, where two bartenders were working (Cody and Dawn).
The bar did have a big crowd however, I had no problem finding a seat at the bar to get served. Shortly after sitting down, I was given a menu by Cody and immediately asked what I would like to drink. I asked for a specialty drink which consisted of fireball whiskey. I was actually surprised that they had fireball whiskey in stock since the product is not usually stocked in Texas. When I asked for my special drink Cody had no problem making it. He then ask me what I would like to eat. I ordered the chicken strips with mash potatoes and fresh broccoli. As a starter, I also requested the side Caesar salad. Even with all the customers in the bar Cody had no problems entering my order while simultaneously serving several other guests that was sitting at the bar. When Cody left the bar, his counterpart Dawn took over immediately without skipping a beat and as a team, she also took care of the customers in his absence.
After a few minutes, I was brought out my Caesar salad by one of the servers. The presentation was really well complemented with a buttery croissant which was absolutely fabulous. The Caesar salad was crispy and had just the right amount of dressing.
After finishing eating my Caesar salad I request another drink. Before my drink was made, my main course came from the kitchen. The meal was then placed in front of me by one of the servers. The presentation was great and everything was proportionate. The meal was served hot an fresh just as expected. After taking a bite of the chicken strips which were very tender I then dipped the chicken strip in the lemon pepper sauce which was brought with the meal. The sauce was just the right flavor to complement chicken. I then took a bite of the mashed potatoes which contained potato skins which is one of my favorites the tasted was just right. Then I took a bite of the broccoli which was crispy and seasoned as expected.
Overall, my experience during this visit was phenomenal. The bartenders and servers all exceeded my expectations and went out of thier way make sure that I had a great experience while visiting Cheddars. I would definitely recommend this location in Lubbock to anyone who was in the area visiting. I know that I will revisit this location if I’m ever in town again from Dallas.
Good job Cheddars staff! Keep up the good teamwork.

I had such a great experience here the other night… great, great service as a solo diner in the bar. It was actually pretty entertaining on a Saturday night — lots of the staff would pop in and chat w/​the bartender and I. It was actually alot of fun.
I ordered:
Maui Margarita $ 4.95 — yumm!
Onion Rings $ 3.99 — very good, HUGE, couldn’t finish them all
Spasagna (can’t remember how much, but under $ 10)
Mango Mojito $ 4.95? — I think
Everything was awesome — — I highly recommend the Spasagna sooooo good!
The only bad thing — the music was horrific! Absolutely terrible! LOL The worst imaginable 70’s get-​it-​on music. The bartender and I were just rolling our eyes — it was ridiculous actually. We even mentioned it to the MOD, but she just shrugged it off and didn’t do anything.
I wish there were some Cheddars in Phoenix.
