    We come to Cheddars because we can count on consistently good food and good prices. Yeah service wasn't bad the atmosphere is nice & causal, good for large groups or smaller. But the food is where it's at, our go to is starting with the spinach dip, the monte cristo and Dijon chicken .

    Came here for lunch after shopping in the area. We were greeted as soon as we entered red and were shown to a table. The restaurant was nice and clean and our waitress was friendly. The service was pretty quick and I think the prices were very reasonable. I got the Caesar pasta salad which I thought was a unique twist on a regular Caesar salad. The menu was pretty big with a wide variety of options. I would describe this place as being like a Chili's or TGIF but with a bit of a southern twist. They had things like fried Shrimp and rice and beans. Overall, it was nothing super amazing but if you're in the area and looking for a cheaper sit down place to go, this is a good option.

    I like this chain restaurant a lot, and can't understand why there aren't more in the valley. I can't speak for other locations, but this one is very pretty, with gorgeous brickwork, lots of plants, a built in aquarium, and a super cool overhead fan. This place does serve alcohol. The menu has a lot of different options of standard American food. There is also a nice cocktail menu. The real surprise are the prices, which are pretty darn good. We ordered: *Cajun Chicken Bowl *Homemade Chicken Pot Pie with Caesar salad *Philly Cheesesteak with fries *Grilled Whitefish with Broccoli Cheese Casserole and Coleslaw We all liked our meals, although hubby said that even though his Cajun Chicken Bowl was good, it want very "Cajun." The salad that came with my pot pie was huge--wayyy bigger than a regular side salad and the Caesar dressing was sooo good. My pot pie was a little runny, but it didn't matter to me because it tasted good. Affordable, good food in a nice atmosphere with good service.

    Food - The ribs were tender and moist. They were fall off the bone good. They had good flavor. I wasn't too much of a fan of the corn. It tasted so plain. The honey butter croissants that come complimentary at the beginning of the meal were delicious. The fries and chicken fingers were alright. Atmosphere - No strange or strong odors or smells. No music playing when I visited. I liked that. I prefer no music over loud music. I don't like loud music. It's hard to hear with loud music. I did not visit the restroom. Pleasant temperature inside. I have been to some places where it's been hot or cold. Quite a few other customers were inside when I visited. Seemed like a popular place. I liked the mood lighting. Service - Sit down style. Order and pay at the table. No self seating. Staff seemed busy with so many customers. Parking - Surface parking lot. No parking meter or parking structures or solar panels. Unique - Fish tank aquarium in the lobby. Mood lighting. Did not see a health rating on Yelp.

    Wow! I've been going to outback with my father every Sunday for I don't know how many years. We stopped going just because of the price gouging. First off, I just wanted to say thanks to cheddars for keeping reasonable prices. I had never been in there before, passed by a few times for some reason I thought it was a breakfast place. I was going to come in tonight, but then I realized it was Monday night football. So I decided to take advantage of their delivery option. I am just amazed. The steak was thick and tasty. The baked potato was great. Not sure if it was supposed to come with sour cream and butter, but neither of them were there. It's fine. I had butter. The corn was tasty as well. The complementary sweet croissant was just an added bonus. Nice touch. I never plan on going to outback again. I am now a repeat customer of cheddars. Thank you guys!

    Honey Butter Croissants & ice tea

    Cheddars has some of the best prices in town for large portions of yummy, home cooked, scratch kitchen food! For starters they give you a honey buttered croissant...now that's how you start a meal! We sat at the bar and had a great view of the water tank, it was very clean and had beautiful, lively, fish. For lunch we ordered the country fried chicken and half rack ribs with chicken tenders. The country fried chicken is served with your choice of white or brown gravy and both dishes are served with your choice of two sides. They were both really good, great flavors and the ribs were fall off the bone tender. However, the chicken tenders were cold and the chicken was very dry, they kinda seemed like an afterthought. Our sides were mash potatoes, side salad, buttered corn. I definitely recommend Cheddar's and we will be back to enjoy more!!

    Went here on Valentine's day with my boyfriend and we didn't have the best experience. I thought my food was yummy but I went the safe route with chicken tenders and fries. My boyfriend's steak was very overcooked and we waited such a long time for our food. Our server ended up comping our meal. The restaurant was very nice looking on the inside and it has a lot or potential.

    Croissant with honey butter

    Hubby & I had dinner here last night. We were seated right away. They have lots of bench seating that provide privacy. It took a few minutes for our server to come to us, but not horrible. We ordered a beer & sangria. We also ordered cheese curds at this time. Our cheese curds came out sup fast. They were out before the drinks. Hubby ordered the chicken strip with honey hot sauce on them with a side salad & fries. I ordered the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and a side salad. I asked for the brown gravy on the side. She also brought out a croissant with honey butter for each of us. It was a ton of food. We had 5 takeout containers to take home. All the food came out sup fast. Each thing came out before we were done with the last. The service was okay. She checked on us a couple of times. We did have to wait on water refills & drink refills. I didn't love the sangria. There was a different taste to it, but we couldn't place it. The cheese curds were good, but greasy. The ranch was really good. The side salads were huge & good. We had ranch dressing. Hubby liked his chicken strips, but said he would get them plain next time. He likes spicy. He said the honey hot was really spicy which is not normal for him. Most hot isn't hot for him. I didn't like my chicken fried steak. The cube steak was really thick. The breading fell off when I cut into it. The breading tasted greasy. The Texas toast was good. The potatoes were fine, but the ratio of potatoes to steak was off. The gravy was good. Hubby didn't like the honey butter on the croissant. I had a couple of bites of mine & liked it. Our kids ate our leftovers. Our son also didn't like the honey butter, but our daughter did. We will probably go back, but I won't get the chicken fried steak again.

    Waited about 30 minutes for a table on Valentine's Day which was great for us cause most places have 1 hour+ wait. The service was amazing, Amber was so nice. The food was good too, it really tastes like homestyle cooking. Fresh ingredients, seasoned well and cooked perfectly. We'll definitely be back because there was more on the menu we would like to try! LOVED THE HONEY BUTTER CROISSANTS TOO

    Maui Margarita - non alcoholic
    Abir L.

    We had a very good dinner experience at Cheddar's. This is a generous 4 star rating. It is more like a 3.5-3.75 in my opinion. We were seated pretty quickly. The restaurant was not super full as we arrived for a pretty late dinner on a Friday night. When you are seated they serve you delicious butter honey croissants that are heavenly. This is a must try. The menu has many options to choose from so everyone will find something they will like. We ordered the grilled shrimp Alfredo and Key West chicken and shrimp. It is served on rice and you get to choose two sides. I picked baby carrots and corn. I also asked if they can make the Maui margarita without alcohol and the answer was yes!! The grilled shrimp Alfredo pasta was delicious. Perfectly cooked pasta in a delicious white sauce. The chicken and shrimp dish was pretty good but was overly sweet for my liking, it almost felt like I was having a dessert. Dish is served with a pineapple salsa. The carrots were not my favorite. They looked old and didn't taste that good. Corn was a pretty good side. If they go easy on the sweet sauce and the pineapples in the pineapple salsa, the dish will taste better. The virgin Maui margarita was absolutely delicious! If I go back, it'll be to specifically to have it again. It was so refreshing, it felt like a drink you would want to have by the pool or at the beach! Service was excellent despite us going for a late dinner on a Friday night. Prices are very reasonable so it is easy on the wallet too. Worth a try!

    This is their version of a PainKiller Cocktail. Amazing!

    We love coming to Cheddar's! The food quality is always consistent, and they've never gotten our order wrong (and we're a family of 4, sometimes 5!). Britney was our server this time and she was exceptional: attentive, kind, and so fun. Her makeup and hair were beautiful and creative while still looking totally professional. She made our experience even better!

    Did they bring back the onion rings?

    They were on the menu !

    If I want to have a birthday dinner with a large group, do I have to call ahead or I can just walk in?

    I suggest calling ahead regardless. They might still be limiting large groups.

    Do you need reservations for lunch?

    We do not accept call-ahead reservations at any time in any of our restaurants. Great question - thanks for asking!

    Monte Cristo was recommended. I'd love opinion of how it ranks. I'm looking at over an hour drive, so I wanna know if it's worth it. Been craving MC, but how does it stack up?

    I enjoyed it, but it as my 1st ever MC. Maybe not worth an hr drive......

I really wish it were easier to find breakfast joints with organic coffee but it can be a bit difficult to find in certain areas, such as the east valley area. This was one of a couple options I could find. We attempted to dine here for dinner on a previous occasion but it was a long wait at that time so we went elsewhere. This time we showed up around 10:15am on a Saturday in June, and we were quoted 90 minutes for two people. Fortunately there was room at the bar, so we were seated immediately. The decor is very clean and subtlety higher end. It is an open floor plan with the bar towards the front door, which is also accessible from the large patio (in cooler weather times) that has mister fans and a lot of shade. They have one of the nicest and cleanest restrooms in the valley, with complementary sea salt scrub and high end paper napkins. They also have a couple luxurious event spaces, one of which was hosting an engagement party. My mom tried a non alcoholic drink special with decaffeinated tea and fresh juices, with a little flower on top. She also tried the avocado toast. She enjoyed both but she said the avocado toast was a little spicy, albeit she has an extremely low tolerance for spice. I opted for the breakfast sandwich and black coffee. The coffee came in a neat mug with an oversized handle that was very ergonomic. It was good, but slightly watery. Was at least comforting to know it wasn't laced with tons of pesticides like most restaurants' coffee. The egg, bacon and avocado sandwich was delicious. The egg and bacon were cooked perfectly, and the bread was nice and soft but not too dry. The greens on the side were fresh with a nice vinaigrette. The service was excellent, all of the staff were friendly and seemed to be happy to be there. All in all I was impressed with this place. The only thing I wish they had on their brunch menu was an omelette, because this is first place I have been in a very long time that isn't a fine dining establishment, where they actually know how to cook eggs properly. They were fluffy, moist, and light. I don't bring this up as a brag, but I attended culinary school and learned proper scrambled egg (French style) technique years ago. This is the first place I've been in a long time that gives my eggs a run for their money.

This most recent visit we ate outside as we had our dog with with us.

Our server was friendly and although it seemed like she was new, if she didn't know the answer to our questions she happily asked her peers for the answer. We had a few hiccups but she was very apologetic and nice about it. We ordered the meatball Ferris wheel, kids cheese pizza, and hot Sicilian pizza. I thought it was really cool how the Ferris wheel actually spun. I did think the polenta would be a bigger portion and served on the side. (They put the polenta in each meatball cup) The meatballs were a good size and tasted pretty good. One of them was topped with Calabrian chili and it was really good. It may have been their monthly special. The kids pizza was a good size for our toddler and you could tell it wasn't frozen cheese pizza. The cheese was good and I like that it comes with a drink. I think it also comes with a dessert but our server didn't offer it and we didn't think we needed it. They did bring the pizza out piping hot and considering it's for a kid I would have appreciated if they let it cool a bit instead of bringing it fresh out the oven. The pizza was amazing and had such good flavor. I loved the ricotta and hot honey. I just wish it was a little bigger, but with the meatballs it was more than enough for two people. We don't eat Italian often but would definitely be back when we do.

Music is always on pointe and I would never change the look or ambiance of the place either. My last trip here though I had to ask about why the menu had stopped changing as often since we were one of two parties there in the middle of happy hour and there was a large framed picture of a bartender with a bunch of signed notes on the bottom of it beside me at the bar. It turns out that one of the oldest curators and bartenders of the bar and restaurant had passed from a drunk driving incident and I had not known at all! Gosh I was so disappointed in myself that I had ever complained about not having a new menu to try after that...but at the same time it was amazing to hear so many great anecdotes and to learn so much more about him and the history of the bar itself while dining this time. I had a lot of fun times at this bar - including remembering the first time I met that bartender and sharing that memory with the staff that told me their story. They also shared that they would be coming out with a new menu very soon and some of the new items and ideas that would be rolling out so I am also very excited to go back!
