Unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed with Cheddar’s. I was looking for good food in Iowa City, and this place was highly ranked with solid reviews, so expectations were high. The ambiance was very nice with a large fish tank and cozy booth seating. Service was excellent—both the host and our waitress were very attentive and welcoming. The food, however, was where things fell short. I ordered the lemon pepper chicken with broccoli casserole and mashed potatoes. My father had chicken tenders, shrimp, and a loaded baked potato. He really enjoyed the potato and tenders, but said the shrimp was a definite skip. My broccoli casserole was extremely bland, the rice bed had uncooked crunchy pieces, and the mashed potatoes were just okay. The chicken itself was decent in flavor but unfortunately undercooked—still pink in the center. I didn’t send it back but definitely should have. Overall, the service and atmosphere were great, but the food quality just wasn’t there. I’ll be skipping Cheddar’s in the future.

Both food and server were supper nice, food came out fast and hot. High recommend cheese curds and bourbon salmon, I’m not a big fan of rice, but bourbon sauce was so tasty, I finished my rice with shrimp and salmon. All the sides came with food were really good too. Only thing we didn’t really like was the chicken pot pie, it’s not bad, but the crust in the middle was a little bit undercooked

We both ordered the trio platter, I believe is what it was called, off the appetizer menu. 4 chicken strips, spinach dip and queso plus a plate full of chips.. $12.49.. was so good and so filling! Will definitely make this our stop when coming to Iowa city!
