Dinner -- 1/4/08

Cheddar's
4208 Franklin Ave
Waco, TX 76710
254.741.1141
5:30 - 6:30 PM

R&J -- two iced teas (while waiting for a table)

Neither Ramona nor I had ever heard of or eaten at Cheddar's before it came to Waco about two years ago. We love it, and have been frequent visitors. The crowds that packed in when it first opened have not abated. The food is good and the prices are great. We almost always have a wait if we arrive after 5:00 PM -- especially on a Friday. While waiting in the bar, we ordered two iced teas and extra lemon. The waiter said, "I'll think about it," then brought us one extra piece of lemon and disappeared. No tip.

Ramona: Veggie plate (carrots, broccoli rice casserole, mashed potatoes, cole slaw) with baked potato soup and a honey butter croissant & iced tea

Jim: Honey Dijon chicken with mushrooms, seasoned rice, carrots, and broccoli casserole, caesar salad with honey butter croissant, & iced tea (This waiter brought us six extra pieces of lemon).

The food was excellent, although we did seem a bit rushed -- we had hardly started our soup and salad when they brought the entree. I guess when a restauarant is this crowded they have to move the plates.
