“Went for Sunday lunch with the fam!

Food- everything we ate was delicious. We got the 3 app( tenders, spin dip, curds), burgers, fish lunch, and pasta. All were well seasoned and huge portion sizes. And, those starter breads were too tasty.

Service - Abraham took great care of us. He was knowledgeable about the menu, attentive, and super friendly.

Vibe - casual and cozy. Good for families and friends.

Space-the space in huge. Nice bar area. Lots of tables and booths available. And sunroom too.“

“I came to Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen to have lunch. This place is spacious and has a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Once I was seated and looked over the menu, I ordered a drink and the meatloaf, which was served with two sides: steamed broccoli and mashed potatoes.

Before the food arrived, the server brought over a plate of honey butter croissants. OMG, these croissants were absolutely delicious! So warm, soft, and flaky--the honey butter drizzle was chef's kiss.

The deliciousness continued with the meatloaf, which was moist, perfectly cooked, and covered in a rich, flavorful gravy; complemented by the tender broccoli and creamy mashed potatoes. This was comfort food at its best. My drink (Tito's & cranberry) was delightful and well-balanced. If I wasn't so stuffed, I would have ordered another one.

If you want to experience a variety of American comfort food with all day, every day happy hour at budget friendly prices, then I highly recommend Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen.“

“Got great deals for our new great grandson for his July 4th outfit. Husband’s meal was ok. My chicken n dumplings were terrible!! Half of it I could not eat - tasted and looked like they had scraped the bottom of the pot! Dumplings all stuck together and so thick the middle was like raw dough! I usually order the same meal when eating there. But this was terrible!! Our waiter was great! Love the peach iced tea!!!“

They ended up making her a whole new cake and it was beautiful!! It was so special! They truly went above and beyond for our daughter !! Thank you so much!“

“For adult dining this beats the poolside option. The prices are relatively reasonable. The smash burger was very filling and tasted great. The ambiance is much quieter. Plenty of drink choices. Beers start at $10, which is steep, but no higher than what they charge in the pantry. The French fries were frozen crinkle fries, the lone low point in the experience.“

“I went to a Josh Ross and Nate Smith country concert at the House of Blues on April 9th, 2026. It was my first time ever there, and to say I enjoyed my time would be an understatement. Not only is it right in downtown Disney Springs, which was awesome, so you can explore that before your concert, but it was a smaller, intimate-type of concert venue, with an open floor area, main upper level area, and second floor balcony area, which provided more than enough room for standing and still having excellent views of the stage and artists. The drinks were good and I didn’t get sick at this venue from alcohol poisoning, expensive though, but it is right in Disney Springs, so understandable. Service was VERY friendly, and security precautions were A+++ They had everyone go through metal detectors, and were scanned head to toe, all bags and purses thoroughly checked, and there were sheriffs and security actively present all throughout the venue from beginning to end. I will MOST DEFINITELY come back here for future concerts. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Delicious and will need to come back everytime I visit Disney!

We came to Homecomin' based on all the amazing reviews we had seen online and made sure to grab a reservation way ahead of our trip as we did not want to miss the opportunity to eat there. It can get difficult grabbing a spot here so we reccomend reservations whenever you can.

We arrived and probably waited about 5-10 minutes before we had gotten seated.

At first we wanted to grab a bunch of different items as we were starving and excited to eat here, but thankfully our server talked us out of it because by the end of the meal, we knew we had ordered enough to be stuffed! The portions are filling so keep that in mind.

We started with the Hush Puppies to warm up our pallete. They were so good - crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. They paired very well with the pimento cheese and jalapeño jelly. A great bite.

I had to grab the Thigh High Chicken Biscuits and they lived and maybe even surpassed my expectations. It was so juicy, buttery, and flaky and every bite hit! Two sandwiches in and I was already feeling full but I could not resist finishing these guys off! I will probably get this again when I come back because they were that good!

I am already planning my next Disney trip and Homecomin' is at the very top! I hear they have a great weekend only brunch that i would love to give a try. If you are pondering whether to try this place or not, you will absolutely regret not coming here! Highly recommend.“

We each ordered something different and every plate was outstanding. Miguel was our server. He was excellent! Big thanks to Miguel and the entire team. You really made a long layover 1000x better.
