We had dinner here last week while passing through Joplin. Cheddar's is your basic chain food, large portions, lots of calories etc. The restaurant was quite busy and most people seemed to be enjoying themselves. We selected low calorie menu items which were plenty big for us. The food was average, nothing remarkable. The facility is well kept and prices... More

Convenient to our hotel. Really loud and crowded (why?). Cheap wine served in a warm glass. Lukewarm service and average turnaround time of our order. My partner gave his salad and soup a "good". I give my "lighter side" meal of Parmesan Sirloin a poor to average: average sized portion, overcooked and served lukewarm, as if it had been microwaved.... More

I see other reviews that say it is too noisy but when you are as packed as they are it is to be expected. Food is great and portions are huge! If you leave hungry then you must be a competitive eater! The service is fast and friendly and atmosphere good. The pot pie is the best!

the food is nothing special but still tastes good, but the place is usually crowded and very loud. The wait for a table on the weekends is long.

This place sells all kinds of food. I wish I would have gone here the first night I stayed in town so I could have tried something else off they menu. No one at our table was anything but delighted at this place. Waitstaff was friendly and the check at the end was promptly taken care of.

I think no one cares here cause they always busy but they better get ready for some stif... More

The food was sold ala carte. I didn't really like to "create" a meal that was very pricey and microwaved.

If you're looking for consistently excellent food, a warm atmosphere, and excellent wait staff--this is the place! It feels upscale, but the menu prices are the best value around.

Cheddars is a very popular place in Joplin. It is always busy day and night. However, don't let the line at the door deter you because the wait time usually isn't very long. The food choice is excellent with plenty of selections and you can eat "healthy" if you want (grilled meat and veggies) or you can have the fried... More
