Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen

Last weekend was a long overdue ladies night with my sister, cousin, momma and myself. We were making up for my mom's birthday which was last month. We had a great time. My mother and sister has never been to this restaurant before. My cousin and I have visited in the past. I've actually only been here once almost two years ago. I will say in advance that I should not have expected things to be the same exact way. I realize now the stupidity of those expectations. We all had a wonderful night. The drink were awesome. I was writing this review in the restaurant so that's why you see every item broken down.  If you have IG check out my vid of us sing Happy Birthday to my momma: https://www.instagram.com/p/BZ_waNIA3Ym/  S/O to Cheddar's for liking the video

Passion punch: Very tasty. You can taste the alcohol but its so fruity that if you're not careful it'll sneak up on you and you'll end up drunk before you know it lol. I love the slushiness of it all lol

( Moms Appetizer) Crab and Shrimp dip: I tasted some. I love the bite size pieces of crab. Very creamy and was warm. It was delightful to eat on a tortilla chip


Mac & cheese sample: the cheese sauce was flavorful. The shell noodles were overcooked so unfortunately I decided not to go with this as my side. 





Chicken and Shrimp combo: The first time I ate at Cheddar's this menu item is what I ordered. This meal was so filling. The shrimp and tenders were juicy. I can't remember the name of the sauce I had on the side last time but it was homemade and sooooo good. Unfortunately this wasn't the case this time. I did misinterpret what our waiter asked when we were talking about how I wanted the tenders. I'm just going to blame that on the drink. I thought we were talking about the sauce choices to have on the side. They had only bbq sauce, honey hot and ranch. They must have gotten rid of the home made in house sauce they had before. When my meal came to me the tenders were covered in buffalo sauce. I wasn't happy since I intended to have dry tenders (no sauce) but again it was my fault so I wanted to work through it. I didn't like the taste of the tenders because they didn't have any crispiness to them. The shrimp didn't taste the same. It didn't have that real shrimp taste.  The breading was bland. I did send the meal back. A manager did come over to ask me for feedback and I informed him of why I sent the meal back.I love that he was really listening.  I ordered another menu item. I went with the bacon cheese burger. After I ordered that my cousin let me taste her salmon and rice and OMG!! Sooo good. Instantly I regretted my decision but my burger was good.




Bacon Cheddar burger: I ordered another menu item. I went with the bacon cheese burger. After I ordered my cousin let me taste her salmon and rice and OMG!! Sooo good. Instantly I regretted my decision but my burger was good. It was well done like I asked but not dry at all. I kept my cole slaw from the last meal. Although it was good, you did have to stir the slaw around in order to get it moistened. All the sauce was at the bottom so if you're bite came from the top the slaw tasted dry. 



Cousins appetizer I believe this to be some cheese nacho's with chicken. Her and my sister munched on these. No complaints. 

Moms entree shrimp and fries with cole slaw: She was not a fan of the shrimp either but she was hungry after drinking some of her alcoholic beverage. Fries were good. Me and her shared the same thoughts about the cole slaw. 

My sisters entree Steak with Mac & Cheese, Mashed potatoes and gravy: My sister was given a sample of the mac and cheese before she order it with her meal. She liked it more than me and our mom at first impression. After she ordered it with her meal she did come to the same conclusion. She was very surprised that country gravy was served on top of her mashed potatoes. She expected brown gravy. She did ask if that was an option but was told that was the only gravy served. Her steak was a little on the rough side. She did ask for it well done. 

My cousins entree Salmon over rice with green beans: She had no complaints about her meal. As stated before I enjoy the taste of her salmon and rice. Very flavorful. I think the fish was pan seared.
