Reviews Summary

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen is praised for its hearty, made-from-scratch American comfort food at reasonable prices, with particular acclaim for their buttery croissants and tender ribs. While many enjoy the friendly service and generous portions, some diners have experienced long wait times for food and occasional inconsistencies in dish preparation.

"First timer and if ever in erie again will be returning. Everything was homemade and they got it down. Wait staff was helpful and brought us a second round of their homemade croissants with honey butter frosting. Don't miss this one."

Jessica Lewis

"I ordered a texas sweet tea (alcoholic), and I thought it was horrid. Ordered a long Island Iced Tea next and wasn't much better. It took a long time to get our food, but it was delicious. The ribs were so tender! My husband said his steak was good, but it had a lot of fat. Highly recommend the ribs!! Not the alcoholic beverages though! The croissants are delicious!"

Rhonda Holbrook

"Had gotten a free chips and queso’s offer after signing up with Darden Restaurants Group but had never heard of this restaurant before. When we passed it during a recent visit to Erie, decided to try it. Did all the great reviews really “scratch” the surface of just how good this place was? Well… it definitely deserved the great ratings! As soon as we sat down, warm, buttery croissants appeared before us. Enjoyed awesome, attentive service from wonderful Chloe, who made some great suggestions. We added hamburger meat to the queso sauce- no additional upcharge, and the sauce was SO delicious. Companion thoroughly enjoyed their lunch deal of fried chicken sandwich, upgraded the standard side of fries to house salad w/honey mustard dressing- yum. I had the chicken tenders platter that offers 2 sides. The broccoli rice casserole was okay, but the tender, crispy coated tenders were up there with the best I’ve had! Rather than having the chicken tossed, I had the hot honey sauce on the side. They provided a generous amount of this sauce; it packed some heat and was so tasty. I was also impressed by how clean the public restroom was, considering a bus load of tourists had just left. Not trying to be cheesy here, but Cheddars is the place to go for excellent, made from scratch, hearty, reasonably priced food!"
