Cheddar's Casual Cafe

We love Cheddar's however this visit was not a great one. The food we ordered was not up to our expectations of Cheddar's. The Triple Treat Sampler appetizer was not as good as other Cheddar locations and The Sheppard's Pie was basically the ground meet mixture with a small scoop of mashed potatoes on top. This too was different than what we have had at other locations.

The service was just OK... Not friendly, not nasty just robotic... Maybe an off day... :-(

Never heard of this chain.  We don't have any down in my area.  We were on a road trip and wanted to have nice hour or so out of the car.  We saw a sign on the highway and thought why not.  

It was Easter so there was not to many people eating out that night.  We got a table right away.  Our watercress was awesome.  She was busy because of the holiday they were running on a short staff but that didn't cause her a bit of a problem.  She made sure the drinks were out and full and that our food order was right.  The food was way better than what I though it would be.  Most of the time with a chain the food is just the same across the board.  I would stop her again if I was passing through.

I lived in Wheeling for about 2 years and can honestly say this was one of the few places that was consistently good. It was not spectacular, but it was certainly above most of the surrounding restaurants. Ask for the honey butter glazed croissants and that alone would be 5 stars. If you take into account the really really long wait times on some nights, it knocks it down a bit. The decor is really nice, the place is clean, and they're good for a drink, if you can find a spot at the bar. I always liked their salmon and the hawaiian chicken wrap or salad. I know a lot of my local friends generally loved the buffalo chicken wrap. If you have some super refined palate, go to Oglebay and get ready to spend money. If you want a good lunch or dinner that is well made and will almost definitely leave you with an entire box to have for lunch the next day at a good price, go here.
