Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen

We live about 30 minutes from Cheddars and decided to make the long trip to check them. It was worth the ride. The service was great and the food was great. We ordered the cheeseries as an appetizer and they were good, but nothing new. My husband had the New Orleans Pasta and he loved the taste. He wished the smoked sausage had been andouille. Since we had the cheeseries, he couldn't finish his pasta and that says a lot. I had the Key West chicken and shrimp and it was AWESOME! The glaze/ sauce was simply sweet enough with just a touch of heat. The chicken was juicy and the shrimps were perfect. I was not impressed by the two sides I chose. I had the coke corn and the broccoli cheese caserole. The corn was unnoticed, and the broccoli cheese caserole had a raw oat that was strange, and the casserole was not a casole. It was only broccoli with cheese and rice that were stirred together. It didn't taste like it was cooked together for every time. The taste was just okay, but would have been great if it was baked for 30 -45 minutes and allowed to thicken the cheese and just a bit. Next time I choose two different pages. Oh, yes, I also ordered the 3 honey butter forces and had them with my meal. I gave my husband one and the other two. They were perfect, light, buttery and simply sweet enough to you want half a dozen more. Needless to say, we had no room for dessert. We look forward to coming back soon.

Drinks were cold and food hot. Service exceeded expectations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was busy when we were there but they handled it well!!!

Great Food. This is the best restaurant in Midwest City. Great food, great prices, great atmosphere.

The food is excellent and reasonably priced. The atmosphere can get a bit loud and hectic at times. The waitress we had tonight was great. I always enjoy the New Orleans pasta with chicken and mushrooms.

I ordered their signature black redfish topped with crab sauce, and it was delicious. Although I haven't had much redfish before, the spices they used provided enough kick to balance nicely with the creamy sauce. I couldn't identify any crab flavor, nor did I see any chunks of crab, but thankfully, they didn't overpower the fish with sauce. I also chose two sides: mashed potatoes and green beans. The potatoes were outstanding—some of the best I've had at a restaurant. I appreciate when restaurants make mashed potatoes from scratch that are as creamy as instant versions. The skins were perfectly done, and I even scored bonus points for serving them hot; they stayed warm enough that I had to wait before indulging. Unfortunately, the country-style green beans were a disappointment. They might have started with fresh beans, but I couldn't distinguish them from canned varieties. If "country" implies limp and unseasoned, then they hit the mark, and I definitely won't order them again. The only reason I wouldn't give Cheddar's a rating of 4.5 or 5 stars is that the service was quite slow. Our server was attentive, but it was challenging to catch his eye amid the crowd. I had to ask for a takeout box three times before it was finally brought to me. Overall, it was a solid experience, but a bit of improvement in service would go a long way.
