Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen is a chain restaurant that features old favorites made slightly upscale and made from scratch and we have never had a bad meal there.

The interior is nice with lots of hard wood, some brick and a very unique large overhead fan in the main dining area that is surrounded by plants on the upper level.  One this I don't like is it is a little too dark in evening and they could do with some candles or flame-less candles on the tables for more ambiance.

There offering is a good variety of standard fare:  Appetizers (they do have Artisan Toasts, which is different), Salad, Sandwiches and Burgers,  Chicken, Fish, Shrimp Pasta, Ribs, Desserts and hand crafted lemonade, fresh brewed tea soft and other drinks (they have a liquor license and full bar),  Their prices are in line with similar types of restaurants in the area.  Portions are generous and you might want to skip an appetizer unless are with a large group and sharing or meeting for drinks and just sharing an appetizer.

Overall service is usually good, but on the most recent visit a fella in the kitchen seemed to feel the need to yell several times "I am going to the bathroom" loud enough to be heard near the tables at the front of the place.  Don't know if it might have been lack of communication or cooperation with other staff members or he somehow has managed to make it to his 20's without finding his indoor voice.

Overall it is a great date night place with good food and atmosphere.
