It has been over 2 years since I went out to dinner where there were a good amount of people around. The restaurant was pretty busy so we ended up sitting in the bar. We ordered fabulous "painkiller's " a huge and affordable Rum trick with a coconut and sugar rim. So delicious and once you stir it up really good it taste good. We ordered grilled chicken pasta and chicken fried streak. Everything was so amazing and seasoned perfectly. Our waiter was also a bartender and he was so on top of everything. He kept checking on us and totally made my first theme out super fun. read more

Came here on Saturday, March 27, 21 @ 6 p.m. There was a line out the door of people waiting to be seated. I check in and they said it would be a 35 min. wait. They gave me a pager to let me know when my table was ready. When we got seated we placed a drink order and ordered some spinach dip. While we waited they brought us there delicious sweet bread. I ordered the full rack of rib, with cup of soup and french fries. All were delicious and flavorful. I ended up taking my 1/2 rack home as I couldn't finish it. My friends ended up with a pot pie and hamburger. We got a discount as I subscribe to Cheddar's email list and they sent me one to use. -1 star for our server forgetting our extra napkins, refill on drinks, and condiments for our sides. Other than that service was good. read more

Six of us in the Lunch Bunch group ate here today. We ordered everything from a ribeye steak to a bowl of baked potato soup. Because I haven't seen this on a menu in a long time, I ordered the Monte Cristo sandwich, which came a side of raspberry preserves. Very good! For my side, I chose the broccoli cheddar casserole, which was delicious. Others ordered the shrimp platter, which came with two sides, a cheeseburger, and the salmon dish. Everyone commented that they liked what they ordered. The side salads were good size and good combo of veggies. Enrique did an excellent job of getting everything right, considering there were a few changes to dishes due to allergies and individual tastes. read more

This place was so good we went here to celebrate with a family member for their birthday and the food did not disappoint. The honey butter croissants that are given complimentary when you first sit down were delicious. We ordered the key lime chicken with shrimp and buffalo chicken wrappers which both were very good. Our server was very nice and efficient and made sure we had everything we needed and the ambience was awesome I would definitely go back again read more

Never again!!! I have never had a worse experience at a restaurant than this. They weren't busy and just gave us a difficult time because we asked for a table to accommodate my wife's wheelchair. I can't believe they made such a big deal and told us we would have to wait for someone who works the table area to arrive before they could seat us. I explained we cannot use a booth because of the wheelchair. Instead of accommodating someone with a disability, they made it clear how much of an inconvenience it would be for them. They were happy to seat people that came after us while we waited. Instead of staying and enduring more shame from this horrible hostess and manager, we decided to leave and take our business elsewhere. read more

Highly disappointed with cheddars, this was becoming a regular spot. But the last visit my 2 year old son had an allergic reaction to something he ate, itchy red all around his mouth with welches, so naturally I just asked the waitress for the ingredients because I knew the doctor would ask. I was greeted with someone who seemed to be higher up asked for my info, cool. Then I get a call from Florida with a voicemail to call about the incident. They call for the second time that day I answer and first thing they do is put me on a recorded line asking if I was going to do a complaint against them. THAT NEVER CROSSED MY MIND. But that's the first that crossed yours.. read more

Food was really good. We got Grilled Shrimp Alfredo, and 14oz ribeye with mashed potatoes. Food did take a little long to come out, but our waitress was super nice and friendly. read more

Love this place! The food variety is awesome and the food itself is so good! My favorite is the monte cristo (not that I've tried everything on the menu to compare). The service was great, served was attentive. Will definitely be back. One thing not pictured was the appetizer - Santa Fe spinach dip - but I wasn't a fan of it at all. read more

How hard is it to screw up a bacon cheeseburger? Obviously, Cheddar's can't get it right. Second time here in the past six months and still not even closely satisfied. I should have gone to In and Out Burger (next door). I would have saved +$12 at a minimum. Gave two stars because my waitress was awesome. Be AWARE! read more

Needed a change up for lunch and like all other places they have spaced out the seating to comply with all COVID restrictions. Came in after the normal rush crowd and greeted with a pretty empty location. The staff was friendly and helped one another throughout the visit which is something you like to see (#TEAMWORK). Typically I'm in the bar, but this time just the dining room. The menu is limited so 2 of the things I was craving for weren't on the menu. Instead, we went with the Chicken Pot Pie, Grilled Buffalo Wrap, and the Maple Bacon Chicken sandwich (all with fries... that were really good). Best part for me was the Mango Iced Tea... I was craving a bit of sweetness and it hit the spot. The Pot Pie got high marks from the family but not my thing. Similar to other restaurants in the same category (Cheesecake, etc...) the kitchen is from scratch but doesn't deviate much when it comes to seasoning and flavor. The food is priced right for what you get but don't expect to see handcrafted meals unless they are running a seasonal special. read more

When looking at Cheddar's from the outside, it looks like a nice middle class chain that serves up comfort food with consistent flavor. The interior is also inviting with large fish tanks which are nice to look at between conversation, or on an awkward date. The tragedy started when we sat on the booths. The booths were old and tattered, if my partner adjusted his seat, the booth would slide forward. I was wearing shorts and the cracking upholstery itched at my skin. The menu was extremely basic and I had a hard time finding something I could eat. The server looked like she hated her job. She touched our table three times: 1) take order 2) serve the food 3) give us the check. No refills on our drinks even though they appeared to be slow. My partner ordered a burger, which was just okay, but boy were the fries atrocious. They tasted like the were fried in old oil, forgotten until they got cold, and then microwaved. I ordered the fried shrimp, chicken strips, and fries. Again the fries were inedible. The chicken was tender, but the breading on both the chicken and shrimp were over seasoned. It felt like an assault on my tastebuds. read more

We haven't been to Cheddar's for a long time. The last time was in Ohio but we haven't seen one in ages. So, we were delighted when we went to Chandler for an appointment and happened upon Cheddar's. The food was wonderful! The service was excellent, and the ambiance was very nice. Both my husband and I had the Fish and Scrimp platter. It was very well done and presented beautifully. I had green beans and cold slaw while my husband had slaw and fries. The only problem is that there isn't a Cheddar's in Casa Grande, where we live. The hot honey buttered croissant was a surprise and delicious! read more

It was our first time here. The croissants were a wonderful and welcomed surprise. We didn't know about it beforehand. We ordered the fish with pilaf and veggies, chicken pot pie with a baked potato, and buffalo tenders with bacon cheese fries. Our server was super kind and everything came out timely. Will be back. read more

My mom was raving about this place and was excited to show it to us so we went. Yall. I've never taken a smoke break waiting for dinner. It took 90 minutes to get our food and when we did it was cold or Luke warm. Before then my husband had to wait for a hour because they brought out a sweet tea instead of peach. I know it's a small mistake but that tea was strait up syrup plus he had to wait to drink something drinkable. Server was nice but that's about it. Sadly probably won't ever be back read more

First time eating here gotta say it's worth the wait. The atmosphere was very cozy, we went at night had about a 25 min wait but wasn't bad. We ordered the pot pie which was very tasty and big. Overall it's a very nice place for a relaxing dinner. read more

So this is my third time coming here. This is also the third time I've said I'll never return! Unfortunately the food has always been BLAND BLAND BLAND! The greased croissants they give you as a starter "bread" - No Thank You. I ordered a grilled chicken salad. The chicken tasted like it was soaked in sea water, then had a layer of table salt, and finished off with sea salt- get my drift? Our waiter clearly was fed up! He was exasperated angering any question, very short and curt. Once again-I will not be back! read more

Service is always great when we go. Everything on the menu is delicious, have not eat a bad item yet. Cozy atmosphere.

Cheddar's was extremely busy as usual on a Saturday night. There was about a 45 minute wait for a table, but it is always worth the wait. Noah was our server and he was absolutely top notch. I was very disappointed that I couldn't have my favorite frozen drink the Strawberry Texas Swirl, as no frozen drinks of any kind were available. The flyer should not have even been offered with that being the case. I substituted with a glass of Moscato that was very satisfying. My two favorite dishes here are the Lemon Pepper Chicken and the Vegetable Plate. I ordered the later. The salad is very generous, as is the dressing, and the toppings are fresh and tasty. I add the fully loaded baked potato, off the cob buttered corn, and seasoned rice. The mac and cheese hasn't been offered since COVID hit, so I substitute with another option, this time, steamed broccoli. I love the generous portions served! I chose to fill myself on the salad first and usually eat about half of the sides, taking home the leftovers for lunch another day. My husband ordered the Chicken Pot Pie and was silent most of the meal, devouring a good portion of it along the way. We were both very well satisfied and left will full bellies. It is wonderful to have a place close to home that has comfort food when we crave it. We will be back again another day. read more

We opted to sit at the bar. Kelsey was our server and she had a wealth of knowledge about the food and drinks offered here. This is my first time at any Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen. Kelsey made it an amazing experience. I got the roasted chicken with broccoli and a baked potato. The other person in my party got the bourbon glazed salmon with the baby carrots and broccoli. Everything was delicious. No complaints here. read more

Really 1235 on Sunday afternoon and there is a 15 minute wait with 8 empty tables. Ridiculously poor staff management So I asked what my wait was. I was told I was just notified my table was ready. Kinda hard as the hosts did not have my phone number so no way to notify me. Again staff mismanagement read more

First timer and I am very pleased!! Great service and the food was fantastic!! Such a nice experience!

Classic American food at this restaurant. Basically everything that came out to the table was... brown. The service was great! Our waiter was very attentive and brought us anything that we needed. It was also very convenient having the tablet at the table so we could pay immediately. We didn't have to wait for our server to come bring the check. The croissants were warm and flakey and all the fried foods were nice and crispy. Portions are huge and can definitely be shared. read more

We had just walked away from South of the Border as the tables were dirty, no service-so we left. We moved from California to Phoenix two years ago. We had frequented our local Chili's there numerous times but had yet to go to one in Arizona yet. So we decided to try the Chandler location. We were created by the host. We wanted a larger table as I was going to have fajitas and he accommodated our wish. Our server was Zak. The food and service were great. My food was served hot and was delicious. My wife loved her baby back ribs. All of the staff encountered were friendly and helpful. We will be back! read more

Our boss takes us here frequently! Tonight was the WORST!!!! Our waitress waited 40 minutes to take our order for appetizers after bringing only a few of our drinks. We ordered 2 orders of spinach dip. She brought us 1! With NO plates! I had the manager come over. We explained everything and she sent over a new waiter. He was AMAZING!!!! He was kind, helpful, and friendly!!!!! Started out 1 star! Ended a 5 star!!!! read more

This is my second time here. The first was for a birthday party many ages ago. My wife and I were seated in a decent amount of time for a busy Friday night. The staff was very friendly and our server checked in often. I have to say, I gave it the 4th star because our server was say super-hustler. In all honesty, all the staff was hustling. The top sirloin was seasoned really well. I wish I knew their seasoning mix so I could use it at home. My wife got two huge filets of white fish. She said it was so perfectly cooked that she barely had to touch it with her fork and it fell apart. The drinks, though! I ordered the Cheddar's Painkiller because other Yelpers said it was good. And they were not wrong. Especially if you like coconut and pineapple. Overall I think the food was fairly priced for the quality and service. I would definitely come here again if I'm in the neighborhood. read more

Called ahead for a group of 14. All but two showed up on time and they made everyone wait until the last two showed up 15 minutes late. Then once everyone was here they made us wait an additional 15 minutes to start getting the table ready. We will not be coming here again. read more

if I could give this restaurant zero stars I would I had went to go eat dinner with a group of friends today December 7, 2024 The hostess had told me that the wait for a table was going to be only five minutes due to we had made reservations prior We ended up waiting 25 minutes for a table which I understand they were busy they had sat us outside in the way back, which was fine however, the waitress Quinn C did take our drinks order however she did not bring them out in a timely matter over 20 minutes had went by I had to go into the restaurant and asked the hostess for some drinks because we were thirsty after the waitress Quinn c had came and took our orders however she did forget to bring me two breads which I was going to pay for all she did was apologize Also my friend ordered a stack of ribs. She did not bring that out either the wait for the food was over an hour and a half we were at this restaurant for 2 1/2 hours. This was the one of the worst experience that I had in a restaurant. I am so dissatisfied with the service we had received! read more

we went here last night as we just moved into the area and we were interested by this place! we went on new year's eve night and there was a fair amount of people there! it did take awhile for us to be greeted when we sat down but the ambiance was nice. we started with the cheese bits which were good, but a little greasy! then my boyfriend ordered the lemon chicken which had yummy brown sugar glazed carrots and broccoli. the chicken was done perfectly however not seasoned well. i ordered the fried buttermilk chicken sandwich which was also done nicely but didn't have a whole lot of flavor. service was good too. this place is a maybe for the future - there's just better places we have been to with the same prices. but overall, we had a good experience! read more

15 days later. No response from guest relations. Just lip service from the manager. Have heard nothing.

If I could I would have left 0 stars. We got there and were asked how many people we said 3 and they said 5-10 min wait which was no big deal and then parties that were larger than ours came in and were seated right away . Then a manager came up to us and told us they are clearing tables and as soon as they had one ready we would be seated . Just another 5-10 min then more people came in and got seated so finally we asked what is going on and they said we don't have any tables and I said then where are you seating all these other people and they said at booths ... and I said ok why haven't we been seated at a booth and they said we thought you wanted a table .. at no time did we specify a table or booth we were just asked how many in our party . Then we got appetizers but no plates when we asked for plates they said they are being washed and will be out shortly .... Never came then the ribs we ordered were over cooked heck even the bones cracked when I tried to pull them apart we talked to the manager he seemed harassed and in a hurry . The only good part of the entire experience was our server . He was a very nice young man . They took the food off the bill but with the exception of our server from beginning to end terrible experience . Will not be going back read more

Not the best, not the worst, but for the price, well worth it..it was pretty damn good the first time..came back a week later and it was meh..but not too many places you can go and spend $20 on a steak anymore..protect cheddars at all cost..if I talk about the first experience..steaks were thick, cooked well, seasoned well..second time we ordered the same thing..steaks were cut thinner, didn't taste as good..but one thing was good both times..the cheese bites..service was ok.. read more

This was the worst food dining experience I have ever had with my family. We walked in and waited over 10 minutes up front with two other parties, when the restaurant was half way empty, strike one. When we finally got called to get a table they said the name wrong and after we corrected them they continued to say the incorrect name, strike two. When we got to the table we sat there for another ten minutes without even ordering a drink or supplied with water. An hour later, after waiting for everyone's food for a party of 6, everyone but 1 person had something wrong. Person one had an undercooked steak, they took it back and recooked the same steak and burnt it when it was supposed to be medium well, on top of that he ordered a baked potato without sour cream, it was filled with sour cream. Person two had ordered a side of rice and beans and didn't bring it out until reminded about it. Person three ordered chicken tenders and seasoned rice, it came out cold as if it was out waiting for the other food and the rice was not seasoned throughly and was just white rice. Person four ordered the same thing chicken tenders and two sides and they never brought it out, they totally forgot to make her food entirely. Person five ordered a salad and didn't bring it out until the end and amazingly, while eating it there was no cheese and as she is searching for the cheese stumbles upon a dead fly in the salad! While we are informing the manager on our experience she was acting very nonchalant like it happens often, and did not even care what was going on! She leaves and comes back to try and charge us for the one persons food who came out fine but she couldnt even eat her food knowing not everyone was eating and that there was dead insects in the food!! She was disgusted and couldn't finish it. So the manager crumbles up the receipt and acts like shes doing us a favor by saying we don't have to pay for anything when theres no way we were ever going to pay after all these mistakes. Two strikes before even sitting at the table is insane and I will never recommend this poor excuse of a restaurant to anyone ever, DONT EAT HERE. read more

My husband and I were looking for another place by cheddars but they went out of business so we tried this place. I was impressed. Nice waiter and atmosphere. We liked the menu. This was our first time there. Before our meal they bought out these cut croissants with some type of sweet butter like substance drizzled on it. It was tasty however I would prefer a plain one. read more

For a place that has the words "scratch" in their marquee, this is anything but that. Everything brought to our table was overprocessed chemicalized food, with bland flavor, little texture and seasoned super salty or super sweet. Terrible tasting additive laden salad dressings with awful plastic shredded cheese in the lettuce. Gross ribs, salty as hell mushy chicken pot pie...ick ick ick. Who chose this place?!! You get an odd mandatory croissant with every meal and it is covered in some disgusting fake honey butter propeleyne glycol concoction. My body is mad at me - and I knew I was gonna piss her off before I walked in the door tonight! But I sucked it up and dutifully ate my chemicals like a good girl. I didn't complain once. read more

Thought we would try Cheddar's (first time). Greeted by two young lady's. One was relatively new (in training) and the other experienced young lady needs to chill.
