Although the food is vert good at this Chili's the one thing that makes it really great is the one server we always ask for when my wife and I eat there. Her name is Jennifer Simmons and she is an exceptional server. We did not know her at all until one day we went there and she happen to serve us. She did such an exceptional job that we started to ask for her whenever we stop by for something to eat. It is so great that as soon as we walk in she already knows what we want to drink and what appetizer we are going to have before ordering. She always makes sure that our food is cooked the way we like it and that we are totally satisfied with our visit there. If you want some good food then stop by this restaurant but make sure you ask for Jennifer.

Had a great time here for breakfast on Koe and Kai's first day of school on August 22. They were the first students in line for the back to school promotion. As usual the service and food at this location was fantastic and on point. Thanks to the staff for always being so polite and ending the conversation with "my pleasure" and most importantly thanks 4 their free back to school breakfast! May God bless each of u.

I'm not going to lie. We were hooked the first time we were there. I have yet to meet a staff anywhere that is more personable and eager to make sure that you were completely satisfied. Beer selection is lacking (just kidding) and ch tre food is always great.

I've been to over 6 different Cheddars in differet states, and always get the same quality food and service. Today was visiting family and we decided to go here. The waiter was polite, but not attentive. He messed up my wife's order however then did semi-correct it. He brought out all the correct sides, however my wife had asked for salmon with bourbon sauce, not blackened. They brought her a blackened salmon and just poured the bourbon sauce over it. I dont know if the food sat in a hold pattern for too long, but when we got our plates, some of the food was cold. Also for some reason he didnt like to clear the table as I had to keep passing things to him and ask him to clear the table. I can say now next time I ask my family to go to Cheddars, we'll second guess it. What happened?!

My boyfriend and I went to this restaurant yesterday for breakfast. The atmosphere was a bit cheesy,the tables are overcrowded with condiments, the wait staff look dirty. Their white t-shirts were dingy and seeing as though it was 10 am in the morning one can only assume that they came to work like that. I was a bit hesitant to stay, but my boyfriend insisted. The food was actually good especially the pancakes. But the orange juice tasted like came out of the can. I may try them again, but take my food to go instead.

The front of the house was great-Stacy, Donella,Dominique! They were attentive, polite and wanted you there. Too bad I can't say the same for the kitchen--do you ever clean your fryer? The food was horrible, even tried different dishes but the results were the same-yuk! Stayed overnight at the hotel and tried breakfast the next morning--do you even know what an over easy egg is? Guess not because after 30 minutes of waiting you still could not get it right and everything else on the plate was cold. As a local I won't be eating here anytime soon

Central Texasâs best cajun joint is right down the road from Fort Hood and close enough to Temple to load the kids into the minivan for a visit.

5 stars for the food and atmosphere. 1 star for the service. Our waitress was so slow it was ridiculous. We waited over 35 minutes to get our food. While we were waiting, at two other tables customers were seated. They placed their orders after us, yet they were served their food before us. They had a different waitress then we had. Our waitress, Sarah E. was either having a really bad night or management overloaded her with tables. While we were waiting for our food, my empty iced tea needed a refill for 15 minutes. The waitress apologized that it was taking so long but assured us she would bring us our food as soon as it was ready. 15 minutes later a different waitress brought us our food. She had mitts on her hands because she was holding a metal skillet. As soon as she placed it on the table, I touched it with my bare hands; the skillet was barely lukewarm. After waiting 35 minutes for our food, it was not hot, warm at best. The flavor of the food was excellent!! And the atmosphere was very upbeat and festive. After we finished eating l looked at my watch, it took the waitress 25 minutes to give us the check, process our credit card, and return to our table. While we were waiting, at a different table, their waitress had given them their bill, processed their payment, the people left, and the waitress cleaned the table, all this while we were still waiting for our waitress to come back to our table. Hi NCarmyDude -While we're happy to hear that you enjoyed our food and our atmosphere, we sincerely regret to hear that you found our service lacking... Please accept our sincerest apologies for your experience. Thank you for bringing the matter to our attention - we have addressed the situation with our staff appropriately and are working to improve our guest experience accordingly. Please allow us to apologize once more.

There seems to be a cult following for Rudyâs. Being from out-of-town, I chose to give it a try. We ended up going twice. So warning.. everything is ala crate and you need to serve yourself. There are also signs that remind you that your mom is not there and you should pick up after yourself! (No, really). I wanted to tell that that I did not already pay my mom for lunch, but, well... I asked for 1/2 pound of brisket and got (and charged for) 3/4 of a pound. You want potato salad. Get it yourself (and pay $2.49 for a single serving). You want simmering baked beans. Tough luck, get it out of the fridge yourself. I chose banana pudding and it was simply awful. The meat was fine but you have to sauce it yourself. Want some Texas toast?? Warm rolls? Nope! You get a couple slices of cold Wonder bread. Almost $25 for a self-serve lunch. I think I will pass next time.
