10. Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen
Overall Ratings
4 based on 348 reviews
Reviewed By Maryann R
This was our first time at Cheddar's. I would not suggest this place for vegetarians. They list a vegetarian plate on their menu with a salad and your choice of 4 sides. However, either they "were out" of the items listed (baked potatoes, cole slaw, baby carrots) or the items had meat in them (green beans and broccoli rice casserole). Our server was not friendly and our food was served barely luke warm. We had to ask every time we wanted a drink refill. The manager was called and other than finally bringing a plate of croissants (which we had ordered 30 minutes earlier) he did nothing. We were very disappointed.

Half Restaurant. Half Store. All Country
Reviewed By runner24
Weâve stopped by Cracker Barrel at different locations around the country and always find them consistently clean, the service good and the food just fine. Although weâre not big biscuit and gravy fans, the usual breakfast options give us many other choices and the coffee is always good. We always find ourselves wandering around the country store when weâre on the way out. We never seem to buy anything but it is an interesting way to spent a few minutes, especially when you are traveling. Enjoy.

I ordered my food and got on the interstate heading to my destination. and as we started to get ready to eat, the food was so over cooked and darn near burnt , couldn't even bite into it, we were so disappointed, we called and the girl answering said it was cause they were busy, talked with the manager he said it was because the printer went down, WHAT does that have to do with the way our food was cooked ?Larry, I am very sorry for your recent experience at the Sanford Mellow Mushroom. I would love to make it up to you, and replace your order for you. I appreciate you letting us know, and apologize for the way the situation was handled when you called the restaurant. I have placed your name on our comp log so the next time you would like some of our normally great food, just let us know and we will replace your order for you.

First time visit. I ordered a hamburger. Safe right? It was huge. Could barely get my mouth on it. Cooked to perfection. French fries were crispy. Service incredibly attentive. Decor is not much but you donât eat decor. Highly recommend this place.

Really well done meal, especially for the ambiance (right on Lake Monroe). Tuna was bit more done than Iâd like, and the mixed vegetables were actually just different squashes but I really liked the service quality and effort. Fried shrimps were plentiful and tasty. Jambalaya was different but very well done. A great value for $25 a head w a drink!Appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Next time you visit, request the tuna just barely seared, (it's one of my favorites too!). Hope to see you again soon!

Itâs our first time of visiting this restaurant. We found the food to be excellent along with the atmosphere. We did eat inside because of the heat. Will look forward to going back. I only have one negative and that is our waitress was also the bartender and when we needed something she was a little slower to get it to us.

We visited the Sanford Brewing Company several times recently during a two week long stay in Sanford. The servers were friendly and available if we needed anything else. I tried the Lavender Egg Salad out of curiosity the first time - it was very good, so much so that we had it again on another visit. I also enjoyed the Taco Salad and the Buffalo Chicken Wrap. We did visit at dinner time once, and the dinner menu is slightly different (the egg salad was not available). The beers were also good, I stayed with the KlugscheiÃer (a Hefeweizen) and my husband tried some others but chose the Route 46 IPA most of the time. One of the servers noticed our hospital visitor name tags and my husband's bandaged hand, and he wished my husband a good recovery. That kind remark, along with the good food, made us want to return.

We had lunch at Christo's and were impressed with the items on the menu. Alttile bit for everyone. I ordered a personal margarita pizza. The best margarita pizza I've ever had!!!! I only ate half and had the rest for dinner at home. It was just as good at home as it was there. My husband had a gyro with fries and he loved it. The waitress was very friendly and even gave us cookie on the house to try, which were awesome. They make all their food from scratch and you can tell. This place is worth it.

I visited for a Happy Hour after work on a Friday. We initially had our table set up inside but due to how chilly it was with the air conditioning on, we moved our party outside. They did indicate that a live band would be playing at 9:30 so I guess they do have live music from time to time if you're into that, though we didn't stay for that.The rain forest martini was good as was the steak & cheese flat bread I had.Our server was good and accommodated our needs. I would return.
