Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Fort Smith

I had a fantastic meal at Cheddar's! I made an impromptu stop there tonight and I'm so glad I did. Since I was dining alone, I sat at the bar where there was plenty of room. Jonathan was the bartender and he was super friendly and energetic. He poured me a nice glass of white wine. I decided to order the chicken pot pie with a salad, and both dishes were incredibly delicious. Great job, Cheddar's! Next time you're at the bar, be sure to say hi to Jonathan - he's super friendly!

Our family enjoys dining at this restaurant, as the food is delicious. However, we have encountered an issue with the meat being overly salty on multiple occasions. I once ordered white fish that was so salty I had to send it back, which is something I rarely do. Another time, I had a steak that was also excessively salty, though I tried to salvage it by scraping off the seasoning. Last week, I had salmon that was too salty but decided to eat it without complaint. Despite these seasoning mishaps, we continue to dine at this restaurant because we love the overall experience. My boyfriend has also noted that his food has been too salty, so it seems to be a consistent issue.

Great food and very nice staff. We got the cheese bites as appetizer and it was great! The chicken strips were good too!

I am conflicted between giving Cheddar's a '4' or '5' star rating. The service was excellent, with our waitress checking on us frequently. The food was decent, but not outstanding in my opinion. However, I ultimately decided on a '5 star' rating because of their delicious hot, honey buttered croissants. Any restaurant that serves these right after you sit down deserves a top rating in my opinion!

It was good. I had the coconut shrimp. I didn't really care for the sauce they served with it, it tasted like canned cocktail sauce with Wasabi or something like that in it... I'm not sure. It was really busy so we sat in the bar. Our waiter was friendly and attentive but probably could have used some help.
