“My boyfriend and I celebrated our one year anniversary here and had the most lovely experience!
Kyleigh was our waiter and was so celebratory and kind. She was so kind to take our picture upon request and brought us a slice of cake to celebrate!! Thank you Kyleigh! :)“

“Absolutely delicious! We didn’t have one thing we didn’t thoroughly enjoy. I will be dreaming about those Brussel sprouts for days! Very very delicious food, the atmosphere is very inviting and cozy. Big plus that it was an LGBT friendly environment! ❤️“

“First time here and food was amazing. My husband got the 2 piece chicken with slaw and beans. I got an appetizer the pickle spears 🩷 and snack plate. Highly recommend! Only complaint was cashier on her phone and FaceTiming someone. Loudly. Even while cashing out my check.. never spoke to me.. just felt unprofessional.. but thank goodness the food made up for everything else🩷“

“First time going and I loved the scallop appetizer and the pork belly! I wanted the lamb and need to go back just for the lamb since they were out. I had the elk chops and they were good! I mainly ordered it for my husband since he couldn't decide between the two dishes and he enjoyed both! Im not a big meat eater but i did love the carrots and scallop potatoes! The service wasnt the best but wasnt the worse. He forgot to give my husbands friend his debit card back and forgot to add lemon to my water and give us utensils..so a little off. They were full but not crowded. Noisy but we can still hear ourselves talk. A little stuffy as the ventilation could have been better but overall I want to go back! Definitely to try the lamb!“

“We ate here twice while we were in town, and we loved it! The servers, Amber and Daniel, were fantastic-nice, attentive and great personalities. We will definitely be back there!“

“Great food, friendly service. Will be back.“

“We both ordered the pork chops. Our sides were the broccoli, the green beans and the fries with added cheese sauce. Our food was served in good time, was hot and tasty. The croissants you receive upon arrival are so delicious! Our server Caleb was attentive, and courteous. We had a wonderful meal! We highly recommend Cheddar's for good food, prices and vibe. This was our first visit, definitely not our last! Highly recommend!“

“Great food, service, and a happy clean atmosphere!“

“We ate at the Cheddars on Clinton Hwy in Knoxville and man it was soooo good. My son and I had the sirloin and they were cooked to perfection! There was a slight timing mishap with a soup and salad but they made it right on the spot and I am glad that I did not get that salad earlier because I would not have been able to enjoy every bite of that steak. The green beans? Oh my gosh soooo good. Next time I will forget about the salad and get the two sides. I didn't catch our server's name but she was great! Shout out to server: hey girl tell us your name! you don't have to say I am _____ and I will be your server. But maybe, and my name is _____ if you need to get my attention. That is what I used to do. And you were great! Thank you Cheddars!!! Oh and Kyle Busch is my driver!!“
