“I had an incredible dining experience at Cheddar’s, and a huge part of that was thanks to our server, Kassidy! From the moment we sat down, she was warm, attentive, and made us feel like we were her top priority. She checked in with me at just the right times. The service was quick, and she truly went above and beyond to make sure we had a great meal. Kassidy’s friendly attitude and excellent service made our visit unforgettable. Highly recommend asking for her next time you’re there! Five stars all the way!“

“Ok to all asking they open at 11am daily! Website says 8AM weekends, starting July they will go back to 8AM weekend schedule. NO breakfast items on buffet at this time, not even white gravy. Starting July when they open at 8 AM they will start breakfast again. YUM!! To me they have less seating and less food selection now. But love the new drink stations where you can get your own drinks.“
