“Chicken was delicious as always, first time we had the mac and cheese definitely will go back for that! Was not a fan of the greens, I like extreme flavor of my greens, but Tanner brought out some vinegar something that helped give it a bit more of a bite! Okra is always my favorite! Even if I order nothing else from Gus's I will always order the okra. Yes it's high-priced but everything is high-priced anymore, no matter where you go. Thanks again Tanner we will definitely be back if not for the great service, for the fried okra, chicken and now the mac and cheese!“

“We stopped coming to Cheddars over 5 years ago. The food had gone downhill, the management at that time didn't care and the front desk was completely rude. We decided to give Cheddars another chance so on Friday, day after Thanksgiving, we went in for lunch. Not only was the front desk extremely polite and personable but so was our waiter and all the staff we encountered. The food came out hot and fresh and well prepared. We loved going there and will again.“

Everyone who brought something to our table and the waitress, best customer service! We had one of the later reservations and you all never ran out!
