some friends and I decided to go to Cheddar's one evening after work. We walked in and stood for 5 minutes before anyone acknowledged us. When I looked around it seemed as if the servers were all on a lunch break. So we walked and sat in the bar area. Our server was real nice and friendly. We ordered an... More

Once upon a time Cheddars had one of the best CFS ever. It was huge, covered the plate and was flaky. But not anymore it was greasy somewhat smaller with a more corn meal crust not flour and egg batter like I remember Service was slow And non existant at most times. We did like the patio here in Waco... More

Business lunch went very well. Asked for seat where it would be a little quieter. Menu selection excellent from appetizers to main dishes. Burgers are very good. Service always very good. Atmosphere hard to beat in Waco. Staff very helpful and attentive.

This restaurant is usually crowded due to the service and food quality. It's not fancy, just friendly service and good food at reasonable prices. There are menu items such as burgers, fries, etc. However, the Salmon, Chops and other entrees are excellent. Only downside is that salads are not part of the entree meal and must be added on. Bread... More

The food is always hot and good. Sometimes the service is lacking, and the line can be annoying if you go between 5 and 6pm. However, it's dependable, and affordable, and that says a lot today.

Cheddars is the best chain place in Waco. In the last couple of years the population in Waco/Mclennan County grew enough that several chains moved in. Cheddars is the best of these places. The staff are very friendly, competent and for food is very good, especially for the price. Usually the wait is long especially on a weekend. Wish they... More

Food is ok, beer is cold and prices are cheap. My favorite part is the people watching. I think all the people you find at peopleofwalmart.com dine here together
