Vegetarian Choices at Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen

View Comments

• Their mac and cheese is NOT vegetarian. They use chicken stock to make it according to their kitchen manager.

• Hi Mike, can you tell me which location told you this? According to their corporate office the mac and cheese should be vegetarian, so I want to straighten this out. Thanks!

• I asked about the Mac n cheese at the Springfield Mo location and it does have chicken stock!

• Hi Bea,
  Thank you for letting me know! I contacted Cheddar's corporate office about this and this was their response:
  "I consulted with our head chef and confirmed that our Mac & Cheese is supposed to be made with vegetable stock. It is concerning to hear that you were told otherwise. I will be touching base with our Springfield, MO location to ensure that they are following the correct recipe as to ensure our vegetarian guests are served properly."
  So the Mac & Cheese across all locations is suppose to be vegetarian, and hopefully now the Springfield, MO location will switch to veggie stock.

• The waitress in Arlington TX reported that their Spazania dish is being discontinued & some shrimp parmesan dish takes it's place. That leaves nothing but a vegetable plate for vegetarians. I don't need to go out for a veggy plate. That's hardly what I call a "made from scratch" entree.

• Does anyone know if the white gravy for mashed potatoes have any time of lard in it? We were told it had no meat in it but I want to make sure what oil is used or what it’s seasoned with.

• I’ve never known a chain restaurant to not make gravy without bacon grease or something similar. That’s definitely not something I would order as a vegetarian.
