Reviews for Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen in Bloomington, IN
Excellent food, service, and ambiance. Menu is reasonably priced to comparables restaurants. Highly recommend.
We ate in the bar per our request. The bartender/server was amazing. Her name was Crystal and she was so pleasant and efficient.... Thr young man who seated us was also so sweet and welcoming. I have always enjoyed my visits but today was the best we have everexperienced. Read more
This place was very well priced for the amount of food we got. The wait time for food was a little long however. But other than... that the service was great and the atmosphere. Our waiter gave us extra croissants. Read more
The chain does a good job with standards and this location was no different. Clean and Enjoyable. The Food is plentiful &... good. Staffing shortage has definitely hit this location hard. Not the staffs fault but everything was slow, and messy. We hada group of 8. A 30min wait was about 60. The manager made it a point to greet tables, introducing herself and assisting withfood delivery with just about every table. We had to ask several times to get refills or to take empty plates, cups, appetizersoff the table just to make room. Food was good and as ordered and the managers attempt is what i am helping helped my rating. Read more
The burgers are good, and so are the onion rings and onion strings. However, I was told they no longer offer onion rings or... onion strings. The chicken fingers were a bit hard. The broccoli was great. Outdoor seating was a nice option for a good weatherday. Read more
My friend and I stopped at this Cheddars to eat on our way to Evansville as we love the one in Lafayette. Much to our... disappointment, our experience was one of the worst we've ever had at a restaurant. When we arrived, we stood at the front deskand were not greeted for several minutes. We requested to be seated in the bar area and were told it was a 5-10 minute wait,which is fine. However, when we went to follow the hostess, she started to lead us in the opposite direction. I asked her aboutsitting in the bar area and she said "Oh, yeah, you can just go in there and pick a seat" My friend and I walked in and pickedon of the only clear table tops in the bar area, 3-4 of the other tables were covered in food/dishes waiting to be bussed. Thosesame tables were still dirty when we left after eating. That is not to say they were short staffed. . . . in fact approx. 5-7waiter/waitresses spent the majority of the time sitting at or standing around the bar chatting and texting. Waiting for aserver to come, another customer had to approach the staff crowded around the bar to ask for their check. Our "server" neverapproached us, we were waited on by the bartender and she didn't use anything to write our order down. Both my friend and Iordered medium rare ribeye meals, nothing too complicated. The croissants were incredibly dry and burnt, the food arrived andthey gave me the wrong cut of steak (t-bone instead of ribeye), both steaks were well-done as opposed to medium rare and the twosides on both plates were not in separate dishes so the steak juices were all over the sides. The broccoli casserole was dry,the carrots were undercooked. Once we were served our food, no one came to check on us again until handing us the check. Anddespite my friend asking for A1 sauce when the food was delivered, the bartender promptly forgot and I had to get up and get itmyself. When using the restrooms, I didnt even want to sit down - They were disgusting. The women's toiletr Read more
Nice place but my Country Fried Steak was so bad that I had to send it back. It was over cooked and dry. The manager took it... off the bill but it was disappointing that I had to go someplace else to eat. Friendly staff and nice environment. Read more
This was our first time at Cheddar?s and we had such a great time, and, though the food was tasty we really owe so much to Nate... who waited on our table at the bar. If you?re able to, request Nate. He is an accommodating, knowledgeable, and friendly youngman. We even saw Nate professionally and politely handle some atrociously rude patrons with grace and patience. The food isextremely reasonably priced and quite tasty. But what will have us returning is the kind, neighborly service we received fromthose who worked there. I definitely recommend this location.
