Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen

Casual dining. Consistent great food. My favorite is the chicken fingers. Had ribeye last night and it was very good with steamed broccoli. No big deal but states diet Dr Pepper on the menu, no go. Only Coke Zero. Wait staff is Courteous. Facility is clean. If your looking for comfort food steak and gravy, note ask for the Texas toast on the side, if not they put it under the steak and it’s soggy.

First off: Brandon you did an awesome job. You get the 5 stars! It was Wednesday at around 1pm 01/12/2022.:no one greeted us at door. You were all by yourself at that time, you were both bartending and serving food to restaurant area. You did an amazing job. The restaurant and seating area was clean. Food was great. The drinks were awesome to! Prices affordable. I will reiterate, the 5 stars go to Brandon. He smiled and was extremely courteous. Thank you Brandon!!! See pictures of restaurant, food and drinks.

HIT-OR-MISS... My wife and I met here as wait staff almost 10 years ago. We like to come every once in a while fir nostalgia. I brought my family and guest in a few weekends ago and it was fantastic. Then we came twice more in the last week and it's been pathetic both times. So it's very hit or miss. I ordered a pain killer, bacon cheeseburger with fries and broccoli casserole. My wife ordered a burger as well. My pain killer never showed up (went to bathroom and out to vape and my drink was still sitting at the bar both occasions. I asked the bar tender if it was my drink and he confirmed (did not offer to have drink sent to table). The restaurant was absolutely not busy and mostly empty on a Thursday eve. Our burgers and fries came out horrible. Burger was old and grayish colored mostly black burnt bacon. Fries were half cooked and half raw like they put 20lb of fries in fryer at once. My wife's red bean casserole was like licking a salt block. I never saw the presence of a manager at all. The first time we came a female manager came by table to check on us, not the next the visits. This place needs a good deep cleaning, The walls are coated in splattered food and the tables are permanently sticky and makes you feel yucky. There are some unsavory characters working as servers. I almost came home and applied for a manager position here just so I can clean house... get this place straightened out and stop wasting people's hard earned money. And earn Gainesvilles trust back. Because as of now I don't trust Cheddars anymore... what are you gonna do about that Cheddar's?
