Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Ocala

My teenager and I really enjoyed our first dinner at Cheddar's. We sat at a two-top in the bar area, which was very nice, and our waitress was wonderful. All the food we ordered was excellent, and I appreciated the clean, vibrant atmosphere.

The food was incredible! I had the New Orleans Pasta, my father enjoyed the ribs and coconut shrimp, and my mother decided to try their chicken pot cake, which seemed to be a favorite among other customers! We were very impressed, and our waitress Ashley was exceptional!

The drinks were excellent—no complaints there, and they were very flavorful. I highly recommend the Bacon Cheeseburger; it was perfectly cooked to a nice medium and incredibly juicy. My fiancée ordered the ribs and tenders, and they were fantastic. In fact, the rib bones and the breaded tenders were even better than we remembered. Overall, we had a great experience. The staff was friendly, and we are definitely planning to return.

The food was great! A great waiter. The service was fast, the prices were wonderful. The only sign against them, I paid at the table with my debit card. Thank God I have printed my receipt, because when we walk the door into the parking lot, the server ran after us and asked us if we were pulled out and I said of course, and he said the system had marked me as not paid. He asked if I had my receipt and I showed it to him who was obviously paid with a nice tip and he said he was sad and he wasn't sure why the system didn't pay, but it was pretty embarrassing to observe six other couples. I mean, the server was nice, I'm just not sure why the system wouldn't show that I paid. Update, returned today. The food was fabulous the prices are great. The servers are wonderful. We will definitely return. I wish it was in the city where we live, but we definitely make a point here when we come to Ocala. Make sure you get the croissants, they will bring some to your table when you sit down, but we will always order extra. You're fantastic! They are warm and melt in the mouth. You're better than a hot Krispy Kreme glazed donut.

Great food. Ashley the server was great. 10 stars for her. This place is my favorite restaurant in Ocala. Great Job to the staff. From being seated to the cooks and staff. Love all the smiles and kind people.
