So I have to admit I know nothing about Cheddars. On the outside it looks like a Chili’s or Applebee’s---well---on the inside it looks like those places too so thus began my new adventure today.
I got there on the NW side of town about 12:30P. The place was packed. I tweeted to see if I should remain in line or find somewhere else to eat lunch? @spamatdan tweeted back and said I should stay FTW. We took his advice and waited. Surprisingly our wait was not long even though there were tons of people before us.
I ordered the steak and chicken tenders with baked potato all the way and red beans and rice. I also ordered the buttered croissants since we did not get an appetizer.
My medium steak was without flavor and dry. I think the chefs did not let the steak rest after cooking. The chicken tenders were good and appeared to be fresh and hand-made. The best part of the meal was the red beans and rice. Again, it appeared fresh and hand-made. The croissants were good but way greasy with the sweet butter.
I almost felt like I was being rude to the waitress who was being super polite and attentive but we just could not hear her when she would come by our table. The place was super busy and super noisy. I blamed it on the ceiling fan contraction above us: pretty but scary.
The place is brand new and as we all know San Antonians love to go to new restaurants. I should have waited a while longer before going to this one. I think some kinks still need to be worked out.
The prices were reasonable so next time I am in the area I will give it another shot. Now if we only had one on MY side of town???
PS: the clouds were pretty and hung very low as we exited the restaurant that still had a huge line of people waiting both inside and out.
