We had discovered Cheddar's while traveling out west so were delighted to find one in Gastonia. Skiing over the weekend, we were on our way back, it was Sunday, it was lunch time and we just knew that we would find something we liked at Cheddar's.
The menu us a work of art. Selections are many and prices are very reasonable. Wait staff have to hustle, especially on days like Sundays and they have the patience to listen to you and to accommodate the personal preferences you have for your orders.
Their lunch combos are such a good deal. You assemble your lunch from sandwiches, soups, salads and other entrees for as little as $8.99. Beverages are extra.
We both had burgers with salads and tea. The salads were of significant size so could pass for a meal on their own. And the entree salads are even larger. Dressings, with some exceptions, are made in-house.
That said, Cheddar's prides themselves as a "scratch kitchen." And that shows in the quality of the meals. But...it might take a little longer with some meals than others because it is not pre-made. Your patience will be rewarded.
This Gastonia location is clean, well-run and typical of the chain. An excellent meal choice across-the-board.
