When I saw a Groupon for Cheddar Jack’s I decided to check
out their website to see if it was something I was interested in purchasing.
The opening page of the site states, “The Best Burgers and Cheese Steaks in
Central Florida, Maybe even the World”. Although the location was a bit of a
drive for me, I had to purchase it to see if they were right or wrong.
The ATMOSPHERE… This small building looks more like an
office building then a restaurant from the outside. The inside is basic seating
with random artwork on the walls. There is nothing really appealing or inviting
about the place.
The SERVICE… A young lady brought us our drinks and took our
order. The service was adequate, but not great.
The FOOD… Breakfasts, Deep Fried Appetizers, Burgers, Cheese
Steaks and Sandwiches.
I decided to get the Bleu Cheese and Bacon Burger ($6.45)
and for my side item I ordered the Corn Fritters ($3.89). Surprisingly the
Burgers Do Not come with a Side Item so I was already over $10 without a drink.
Our food was brought to our table very quickly. The Corn
Fritters were hot and greasy on the outside and a little doughy on the inside.
(I really wanted to like them but instead they were kind of gross.)
As I picked up my Burger I thought, “This isn’t going to be
very good either” however much to my surprise it was actually pretty decent.
Although (like the Fritters) it was definitely greasy, it did have a pretty
good flavor and I was impressed with the amount of Bleu Cheese on it.
So for two of us each having a Burger, a Side Item and a
Drink the bill came to $26 (before tip). I was glad I had the Groupon because
otherwise I would have felt like the price was way too high for what you get. I
doubt that I will return, not only is it too far of a drive for me, but the
food was not memorable enough to make me want to come back for more.
