“We just moved to the area from Boston and were driving around looking for a new dinner spot when we stumbled upon Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen. What a good discovery! We were surprised by the quality of the food and the excellent service we received.
​The atmosphere was welcoming, and our server was attentive and friendly, making us feel comfortable.
​For dinner, my husband ordered the Tender Sirloin Steak Tips. They were prepared perfectly medium, with generous portions of sautéed mushrooms and caramelized onions, and served with a rich brown gravy over mashed potatoes, topped with a dollop of sour cream. He said it was a satisfying comfort meal—tender, rich, and delicious.
​I had the 6-oz Top Sirloin Steak, which was juicy and cooked just right. I paired it with a huge loaded baked potato, and the star of my meal was definitely the Broccoli Cheese Casserole. It was creamy, and cheesy, and a must-try!
​Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen is definitely our new go-to for a satisfying meal. We definitely recommend it.

OMG the croissant drizzled with the honey butter was my favorite part!!!“
