We ate, for the first time, at a Cheddars on 9/17/11. The service was mediocre, but obviously he couldn't keep up. And, the place was not too busy. I noticed as we waited for our drinks that a table near by was waiting on their ticket receipt and credit card for close to 30 minutes. The gentleman actually asked for a manager that apologized, but offered nothing else. THere were a couple of flies around that annoyed several tables in the area. And, I continually saw servers walk around with their hands in their pocket while every table around us waited anxiously for food. IT took 45 minutes before a simple salad and chicken fried steak came out. I asked for a manager and asked if we would have food coming any time soon, and she was coy about the wait. The breading on the chicken fried steak was awesome, but the meat was so chewy it ruined the meal. The decor doesn't match the ambience that the staff and food present. I'll never go back to Cheddar's. It was a waste of money. This is a sad fast food, actually slow food, version of a CHilis or Applebees.
