The Cheddar Box Cafe

I stopped in today for lunch around 1:00 pm. The parking lot was full but I am managed to find a spot.When you walk in the door there is a sign in sheet that you put your name in. There were three ahead of me. There is no one to greet you. There are two benches to sit on while waiting. They were occupied so I stood up and waited with a few other people. I waited for about 25 minutes. I looked over the menu to decide if I wanted to wait. This was my first time there. I wanted to try the place out so I waited.The server was obviously in a hurry and walked up to me and said what would you like to drink. I ordered tea, when she brought it back I was ready to order. I was by myself . I decided to get cornbread salad and half a sandwich. The sandwich was Benedictine, bacon and Mayo. The salad was brought out first and looked very good! It was average. I didn't care for the ranch dressing on top. It was too tangy for my liking. The Benedictine sandwich was decent but the bacon was too salty.It was better than Panera Bread and I think it was a little cheaper.After I paid I went to the deli side and bought a piece of derby pie, peanut butter chocolate chip pie and a piece of coconut cake. I took the desserts to my daughter's house for us to try. The derby pie ( chocolate, pecan pie) was not good. It tasted like it had been sitting uncovered in the refrigerator too long. The chocolate chip peanut butter pie, was nothing special. By the time I got home the whipped cream had already melted. I had no desire to taste the coconut cake, but my daughter said it was very good!The sandwiches aren't on any specialty bread. They use Pepperidge Farm. The price point was good, but I was underwhelmed. The cake and pies that they sell at Paul's Fruit Market next door are better!

We met the owner Michelle on a horse ranch vacation. It was a planned destination at that point. The good was fresh & fabulous! It was colorful & delicious! Everything from the salads, the CHEESE spread, soups & desserts!Would we go back???? YES!!!If we lived nearby, it'd be a good habit & a frequent destination.

My family and I stopped in for lunch, and it seemed to be pretty busy inside. We had to wait around 10 minutes before we got seated while the employee (who I am assuming acts as both cashier and hostess) checked out the long line of people leaving. We were seated at one of their many booths lining the wall. Our waitress greeted us shortly after. She was nice and timely so that was a positive. I ordered the Trifecta - your choice of any three pastas, salads, soups, or sides. I chose the Primavera pasta salad, the tuna salad, and their soup special (I believe it was a chicken veggie soup). The Primavera pasta salad stated that it had broccoli in it but when I got it, there was one little piece of broccoli. It was incorporated into the salad like I assumed. The tuna salad was OK, but nothing special and not much flavor. Others ordered the chicken salad and the honey pecan chicken salad. I tried both and I gotta say they were just eh... I was really hoping that they would be tastier! We popped over to the bakery side to take a look at their goods over there. Everything did look good in the cases so I would go back to take something to go!

The Cheddar Box has been around forever and with good reason - it's the perfect place for lunch. It's much bigger on the inside than it looks and that's with half of building reserved for pick up and prepared items (pro tip: their ham salad is absolutely delicious.) This time around, I came with my mom for lunch on a Saturday. We were seated immediately and our server was super nice and efficient. I chose the H2O with maple glazed ham, Jarlsberg Swiss, champagne mustard, mayonnaise and it was SO good. Simple food made with care. I'll return again and again!

I want to start off by saying the here food deserves 4 stars. The service is what got me this time around. We walked in, we're immediately greeted and told to sit where we would like. The person who sat us took our drink orders and brought us our drinks, then literally left the building. That's when things got bad. No one ever came back to our table, after sitting there 5 minutes we had to grab another waitress, she wasn't apologetic or anything but did take our order for us. Things were good again, we got our food quickly and as previously stated it was very good. My husband got a soup and 1/2 sandwich combo with the tomato artichoke soup and a chicken salad sandwich. The soup was so rich and flavorful, I was immediately jealous. I got a curry chicken salad sandwich and it was heaven. Curry chicken salad sounds weird but trust me it's delicious. I highly recommended giving it a go. Especially if you like grapes in your chicken salad. We were both finished eating, had be for at least 10 minutes but again no waitresses to be found. The waitress that took our order was busy with another customer. It was only when someone came to take the dirty plates away that we were asked if we needed anything. They weren't short staffed and it wasn't that busy so not sure what the disconnect was. Overall wasn't the best service but I'd go back for the food and to give them another shot.

I'm really confused by the people who gave this low stars! The service has always been incredible and the food is to die for. I literally went here two days in a row with my husband. My picture is of the tomato soup because that's my all time favorite part. This soup is out of this world!! The flavors are just *chefs kiss* and it goes great with the honey pecan chicken salad. The chicken salad is just the right amount in the half // half combination meal. I'd definitely recommend this place. I'm a big fan of the homemade food, the delicious deserts (creme brûlée cheesecake is a must), and the service!!

Way more than a great experience to dine here! Food was out of this world, and our server Shelby was on top of our every request with amazing timing I must add. We can be admittedly difficult sometimes with our requests, so with that being said you guys have a fantastic work crew, and we shall most def come back!

The food is always great. Perfect for and eat in lunch or for grab and go. The seasonal soups are really good.

Great place for ladies lunch but parking is limited. Get there early! I love their tomato soup and chicken salad

Such a cute place I never knew existed! Food was very good and the dessert was also excellent - homemade for sure. Will go back!
