I wish I had more to say about this place. The first time we ate there it was an amazing experience from start to finish. Unfortunately last time we got food they were 20 mins over the time that the food was guaranteed to be ready(take out) and I’m fairly certain there was CC. We tried them again and when my husband arrived after the 30mins time they then called and said they just noticed they were out of GF ribs. Would he like something else. They offered to comp the meal only after he made a stink but said it would be another 30mins. I told him to just come home. I feel like if they’re only checking by the time the food should be ready then they probably aren’t going to be careful. I wish the experience was better.

I’ve had Cheddar’s a few times at the Terre Haute locations. Some times have ended with me sick in a bathroom, other times I’ve been fine. I am celiac and have told staff, but not all staff are knowledgeable. There was even confusion talking to the kitchen. There’s a decent selection, but better for gluten sensitive than celiac patrons.

I love Cheddar’s and other locations have been careful and accommodating, but NOT PINELLAS SPRINGS! They have a single sheet GF menu but it is lacking a detailed description. I ordered steak and grilled shrimp combo and ordered corn and baked potato. It arrived with the shrimp on seasoned rice. Since I wasn’t expecting rice, I asked our server to please verify with the kitchen that the rice was safe. He came back and said he didn’t think so because no one in the kitchen had any idea. He brought me a clean plate and new shrimp at my insistence. I asked to speak to the manager about my concerns and to encourage some additional training with his staff. The manager was NOT helpful. He can’t expect his serves to know about GF items. When our server went back to ask the kitchen, my concern was that no one knew if seasoned rice was OK to reassure me. I had also asked for no seasoning on the steak to be safe. The fact that my steak was seasoned despite my request was of no consequence to the manager. “Seasonings certainly don’t contain gluten, and they did, the menu would say order without seasoning!” The manager brought the GF menu to show me seasoned rice was on the list of sides. He certainly couldn’t expect his kitchen staff to know! They barely speak English! Apparently it was my responsibility to know it was ok since it was on the gf menu. Of course, I didn’t have the menu when my food arrived. No apology, no compensation, no acknowledgment of a need for better training, but he did offer to let me take home a copy of the GF menu so I could study the choices more carefully and be better informed next time so I didn’t need to question the server or the kitchen. There won’t be a next time!

Placed an online order, which had a very specific gluten sensitive section so the kitchen knows. The ribs were perfect and the carrots are delicious. No reactions so will definitely be back again!

The manager told me what menu items would be safest. She then informed the kitchen of my restrictions. Food was delivered noting my request for gluten free. Did not have any notable reaction.
This is independently owned aside from the Cheddar's chain, which offers a variety of menu items on a separate gluten sensitive menu. This establishment does not have a separate menu.

A fair amount of GF items, however almost everything is pre-coated with butter. If you are looking for GF/dairy free options, this restaurant is not for you. We went to the Town Center location in Jacksonville and it was a very dirty location, it took three sets of silverware to get clean utensils. I don’t recommend this restaurant.

I ate here because the indian and Thai places were closed. Sat at the bar and bartender was helpful. Asked to speak to manager and manager never showed up. Place was dirty and didn’t inspire confidence. Stuck to steak with mash and green beans from gf menu. Very limited selections. Its only been 16 hours so still not totally sure I am in the clear. Will update.

Cheddars makes no claim for Gluten free but they do have a menu for gluten sensitive items.
Plenty of good options and they taste great! My favorite it the grilled or blackened salmon.

I didn't get sick...but I wasn't super impressed with how they handled gluten free. They obviously did not have much knowledge about gluten free so I know they didn't take cross contamination seriously. I ordered a burger with rice and they just took off the bun. It was okay, but not the best food I've ever eaten. Our waitress was nice though.

A “gluten sensitive” menu was provided in the restaurant when I asked for one. There aren’t a lot of options on it, but I felt good about what I chose. They give the standard cross contamination warning but I didn’t have any issues.

Waiter was not able to help when I asked about if certain items were gluten free. She told me I’d have to “make my best guess” because she didn’t know. I ended up just getting a salad without croutons, but they brought it with croutons. When I asked her to take it back and make a new salad, explaining cross contamination, she told me I could just take the croutons off. Needless to say I ended up not eating at all and just waiting for my friends to finish. Will not be back or recommend for others with allergies.

Cheddar’s has a GLUTEN-SENSITIVE menu with great options. Ask your server and they will provide for you. I have Celiac and had the Grilled White Fish (Lemon Pepper) with broccoli and southern green beans. I had no reactions and all was great!

The GF options were extremely limited. No French fries even. My daughter also has a dairy allergy. Asked if seasoned rice was an option. The server said that she thought it was safe came back with non safe croissants for the table, since our food was taking a long time. Rice came to table, along with my daughter’s steak that had butter on it. Confirmed rice was safe and she said yes. My daughter ate one bite and server rushed back and said the rice was not safe. I would not take any chances at this place again. They don’t take allergies seriously.

I have Celiac. I stopped in to see what they would say about gf options and was pleasantly surprised that they have a good "Gluten Sensitive" menu with many choices. As I spoke with the waitress, she seemed familiar with cross-contamination risks and they have good practices to avoid it. I ordered ribs, loaded baked potato, and carrots. She told me the shredded cheese is not kept near the croutons. Everything was delicious and the only reaction I had was happiness. I'll definitely go back again.

Tried today for the very first time. Had heard good reviews and ordered strictly off of the GF menu. I should have known when they still put a croissant in the bag! Now I’m super sick and regret it completely. I’m not even celiac and I can usually even have things from shared fryers with no issues. I got the ribs and shrimp with rice and green beans. Haven’t been this sick in a long time.

Got the ribeye, a baked potato, and the corn. Had no reaction and the food was good! No complaints.
Edit: Had a delayed reaction after leaving the premises. Either it was cross-contaminated or the garlic butter used straight up had gluten in it.

DO NOT EAT HERE. They have a “gluten-sensitive” menu but I wouldn’t trust it. The service was terrible. I asked for a baked potato wrapped in foil with sour cream, butter, and bacon on the side. They brought out my baked potato but with NO PLATE. The waiter just plopped it right down in front of me like it was totally normal. I had to ASK FOR A PLATE. They also put cheese on my sides (which I specifically asked them not to do since I’m allergic) and had to send it back. They have no understanding of allergies at all. Please be safe and don’t eat here.

The servers were nice but a bit distracted and messed up my order a little. Nothing gluteny, but enough for me to notice. No dedicated fryer. Got a lettuce wrapped burger, not mind blowing but decent. The server wanted to be better educated on gluten free and took the time to listen and learn, so that was good. I got to keep a copy of the gf menu which I really appreciated, for future date nights. Their outside seating is really nice too. Similar vibe and level to Applebee's or olive garden. Not great, but good enough and a good price where I'll go back again.
