Update 10/18/25: This location is very consistent in their food and service. Wait staff are always polite, friendly and respectful. If they happen to forget something, they will remember and make it right and better. The food is very good, full of flavor, go to is country fried chicken, lemon pepper grilled fish, chicken tenders, cornmeal fried fish, combo of ribs and chicken tenders. Their appetizers are excellent, cheese dip, salsa with dips; onion rings; and the desserts are to die for especially the apple pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. And then there are the regular drinks and cocktails, Texas size frozen margarita being my favorite. Some friends of ours tell us the Pain Killer is also delicious, but limited to two. This place has not disappointed! I will continue to go eat a great meal that is affordable enough to order drinks or dessert. The ambiance is comfortable but at times can be loud due to the popularity, a great place to celebrate special occasions. Update 2022: I enjoyed eating at this location for dinner on Easter Sunday. We experienced some great service, unfortunately I didn’t get her name. We had their delicious chicken pot pies and their complimentary croissants! Instead of a salad I ordered their broccoli and cheese casserole, which was very great tasting, I highly recommend it. We also enjoyed their Texas Margaritas, on the rocks or frozen. Sorry, didn’t take any pictures, this time around.

UPDATE: After the request of the owner, we chose to give Cheddars another try. We were immediately seated and the server was very attentive. The food came out fresh, cooked perfect and had good flavor.

My husband and I enjoy coming here. Our favorite appetizer is the Spinach dip, they give you not too sweet croissants 🥐 (i recommend not to eat too much of your appetizers bc you might not have much room left for the real meal lol)… The atmosphere here is nice and peaceful. We enjoyed the cookie w icecream dessert. #Only Jesus saves!!! God bless❤️👑✨.

Everything was great, went on a Saturday for dinner, immediately got seated, and the food was awesome. Our server Tony was very polite and attentive and brought our food out hot and fresh. The croissants are amazing and the New Orleans pasta was delicious. Will come again.

Update: 2/20/26 Wanted to try Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen again since its been awhile and its always been good. This time I think its the best service I have ever had, not only here but everywhere. Our server name is ( Julio, he deserve a raise by the way ) was very good. He always was polite and kind, and always attentive. He would always have another drink ready for us. Atmosphere was good, clean and not too loud. The food was great my Dad ordered the ribs with fried shrimp, my Mom ordered the country fried chicken and it was big like orders I think. I ordered the chicken and shrimp with grilled shrimp, but I think I should have ordered the fried shrimp but shrimp still good. Will come back again and ask for Julio and this time I won't wait 2 years. I forgot to mention that we always had the sampler appetizer, we got the chip and nacho dip, tenders, and bacon and cheese fries. I was good. Update: 3/1/24 Went to go eat with my brother Josh and my favorite sis-n-law at Chedders scratch kitchen. Service was good and food was great. I recommend this place will go again. Even though there was a long line we got seated in about 30mins Food was good the server was really good

Highly recommended — 1000%! From the moment you arrive, they serve a complimentary bread that's absolutely incredible in both flavor and texture — one of the best I've ever had! The food is amazing, with a wide variety of options that suit all tastes. During this trip, we had lunch here twice, and both visits were fantastic. The service was also great — friendly, fast, and attentive. Without a doubt, this is a place we’ll return to the next time we’re in McAllen. A truly memorable experience!

I wanted to treat my love to lunch on my day off, so we decided on Cheddar’s. We arrived just after noon, and the place was already buzzing with energy! Naturally, we started with a drink—nothing too fancy for me, just a refreshing cranberry vodka, while my love ordered the Maui Margarita 💋. Both were vibrant, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. To pair with our drinks, we kicked things off with the Wisconsin cheese bites—so addicting, they practically melted in my mouth 😋. After savoring those, it was time for our entrées. My love enjoyed a perfectly cooked medium-rare sirloin with a loaded baked potato and grilled shrimp on the side. The green beans were a miss, but everything else was devoured without hesitation 💯. As for me, I went with the classic chicken fried chicken—simple, hearty, and completely satisfying. We had such a wonderful afternoon our server Joshua took excellent care of us, the food and drinks were spot on, and we left with full and happy bellies. Thank you, Cheddar’s, for a fantastic experience!
