Cheddar's is a much better alternative than many other chain restaurants in the area (applebee's, chili's, TGI Friday's, etc.) It has all of your staples like burgers, chicken, seafood, sandwiches, pastas, etc. Cheddar's has a little bit more of a southern flair than other chain restaurants. Not soul food by any means, but just more a more "homey"/comfort food feel. I have had an entree from almost every "section" of the menu at this point. The portions are always HUGE and the food always tastes good. Also, I think the prices are CHEAP! I am always surprised when the check comes how much food we've ordered and how cheap it is.
Salads come with a croissant that has a honey drizzle on them that is AMAZING. So delicious. You can also order 3 of them separately. I would highly recommend them.
The service here is usually pretty hit or miss. I've gone and had great service, but other times I've gone and had TERRIBLE service.
