Would you like Cheddars in The Villages?
 
When we go to Orlando or Westley Chappel, we go to Cheddars for lunch. There is a Cheddars in Ocala too. We really enjoy their menu and the food is great. I have always thought Cheddars would be a real hit with Villagers. Would you like Cheddars to come here?

This is their website with the menu.......

Yes, I would like a Cheddar's, Jason's Deli, and an El Pollo Loco.

Yes, I would and The Habit. Just minutes ago I finished the soup I bought when we went El Pollo Loco for lunch! The chicken and beans weren’t bad either.

Write them a letter (or email) and tell them about the Villages they may not be aware of it?

Stopped at the one in Wesley Chapel. Not only will I never eat at one of those again, I won't eat at a Cracker Barrel either. Absolutely the worst meal we have had in years.

Do you mean Cheddars? Oh my goodness. What did you order?

We have dined there countless times but we usually order the same thing as we have our favorites. My favorite is the Grilled Chicken Pecan Salad. I order the salad with Honey Lime dressing which is out of this world delicious. Another favorite is the Monte Cristo sandwich served with their homemade raspberry reduction sauce; always cooked to perfection and comes out golden brown with a nice crisp.

I agree with you about Cracker Barrel. Eating there once was enough for me.

Their Monte Cristo sandwich is one that I have not seen anywhere else. It is delicious too.

Sorry to say, looks like many dishes are high in sodium. Here is the nutritional guide. (Wish I had not looked at this but it still will not stop me from eating my favorite dishes.)

There is a sandwich with the same name at Gator's in Brownwood. I haven't had it in several years and I've never been to a Cheddars so I don't know how they compare.

Cheddars is franchised so I hear. I think they would do well in TV. We ate at one in Warner Robbins Georgia several years ago. We were traveling. As I remember it was a good experience. They are Darden brand.

The Villages needs another 2 Star restaurant, like it needs another McDonald's.

While the menu is pretty standard for a franchise, the sodium content is far too high for us to consume. Monte Cristo with processed meat, then battered and deep fried, is ok at Cheddars, but the once a year to eat badly we get one of the best MC’s from a secret menu at magic kingdom, and split it
