We were recently invited to Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen to try a few of their brand-new, scratch-made menu items.
One new item is the Crispy Chicken Tender Noodle Soup, made from their famous chicken tenders and crispy crumbles with freshly sautéed vegetables – this was such a favorite at our table we had to ask for more.

Another new scratch item is a meatloaf so good, they call it “Better Than Mom’s! Meatloaf”
This dish features two thick slices of tender meatloaf that are baked with a tomato and brown sugar sauce for extra flavor, then accompanied by a signature bourbon glaze, paired with creamy mash potatoes.

Of course – no visit to Cheddar’s is quite complete with out an order, or two, of the signature honey butter croissants, fresh and hot out of the oven with a sweet honey butter glaze.
