Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Albuquerque

Is everything really better with cheddar? well, that is to discuss. but everything is excellent at cheddar. he made 30 years birthday plans for this place and it was not disappointed. we begin with the overall feeling and decor. they are here! so warm and welcoming from outside to inside. the color palate and textures are phenom. the hosting staff was pleasant and super efficient at working through the Essens Rush crowd. great start! our waitresses were also super attentive and friendly. we mentioned that it was a birthday dinner and the meal was completed with a handwritten card and two hot chocolate chip cookies. how sweet was that? pun totally intended. because it was our first visit, we received two free honey butter croissants. light, fluffy, airy and slightly sweet. very tasty. we shared a cheese curd appetizer. wow! so very crispy and the homemade ranch? scrummy. our meal was a new yorker strip (cooked to a perfect medium, rarely with 4 grilled garnels as well as four sides (sweet carrots, broccoli-casrole, steamed broccoli and south green beans. everything had a great taste and was cooked very well! this was a fantastic birthday meal in a city never visited before. highly recommended!

Best choice of food for weekend. They have free flow for drink. The portion is really big, best to share portion first. Price consider cheap for the taste and portion.Parking: Parking available even on peak hours

It was fine. The food was good. Three different salad choices, sandwich options, apps, etc. Nothing stood out but nothing was bad. Server was friendly.

I've never had a bad meal here. That says a lot about the place! I had the lemon pepper chicken which is only 520 calories and comes with 2 grilled breasts and 2 sides. I always save the second breast for the next day and I leave very satisfied and not heavy. They have a good variety on the menu and the atmosphere is ok and not too loud. We usually eat in the bar area so we can see whatever sport is on. I recommend trying it!

Lemon pepper chicken is very good but some more side options are needed. Something creative outside the norm.
