It was the Friday after Valentine's Day when we decided to have dinner here! We waited about 45 minutes which we figured wasn't bad especially with how many people were still waiting. The hostess sat us down and our waitress came over right away. She was very friendly from the start! The inside was loud and it was very busy! The menu is not too big and they have it to where it's easy to read. They have all the entrees under different categories depending on what it is you want to eat. We ordered: One grilled salmon on top of rice and my two sides being mashed potatoes and sweet corn One grilled chicken with Mac and cheese and cheesy broccoli casserole One spinach dip My grilled salmon was delicious. It was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The mashed potatoes weren't good though and they tasted too much like boxed mashed potatoes. They felt like they had been cooked with too much water. Yuck. My corn was okay nothing special. When my friend got her food we noticed that her sides were wrong. We then quickly informed our server and she kindly said she would bring out the correct ones. A few minutes later, she brought out the Mac and cheese and the broccoli casserole my friend had originally ordered and she was nice about it. The spinach dip was AMAZING. It was hot and gooey, yummy! It also came with fresh chips and salsa on the side. We were there about two hours or so and at the end our server brought us out some warm chocolate chip cookies to go. They were delicious! Prices are reasonable and the food is good. Our server was the best and she was very attentive! They have a huge ceiling fan when you walk in which is super COOL. OH AND WAIT THE CROISSANTS ARE TO DIE FOR!!!!!!! read more

Today was my first day in a restaurant due to covid. This was not a great experience at all. First off the manager didn't respect our wanting to eat outside as we felt it was safer. She was rude and annoyed with us. In my opinion she did not respect our right to want to try to be safe while we dining as a paying customer to this restaurant. Then they advertise all these new items and free croissants. They were out of everything! New chicken sandwich, monte cristo, coconut shrimp, cheese bites, chicken pot pie, and of course the free croissants. There were a few more items that I wasn't interested in that they were also out of. They brought back the fish and chips and it was horrible! The spinach dip was all spinach and no cheese (not like it used to be). Even the chips were not the same and tasted like they came out of a stale store bought bag. The queso on top of that tasted watered down. They no longer have the bone in ribeye on top of other items. Such a let down! Our server was really nice but I will never return! read more

Went there on Friday and thought I would do the fish and chips lunch special. Bad idea. It was either raw on the inside or the fish was bad. Pretty easy to see from this photo how disgusting it was. I do not recommend this place, unless you want to get sick. read more

Great service and friendly staff. The food is alright and decently priced. I enjoy their cocktails the most as they're pretty large in size and great in flavor. There's certainly different options around town and even in the near vicinity such as the Keg that are slightly better. I certainly suggest going and trying it once but not sure how likely it is for me to go back. read more

We all agreed that Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen lived up to the good reviews. The decor is very attractive; our meals were excellent and the server was attentive and very cordial. He was happy to take a photo for us too. We'll be back! read more

First off I have to say our server was AMAZING. He was very helpful and even though he got slammed with a lot of tables he still didn't let that get to him ! Thanks Jim! I did notice while I sat there all of the waitresses/ waiters seemed very attentive and nice. That's not seen very often these days so , kudos to team Cheddar's ! My husband had the ribs and steak with coleslaw and fries, he said it was good, but nothing he would want to go back for. Myself, again am vegetarian so it was very hard to find something. The soups all have meat in them so although you can choose off a sides list , I really didn't want 4 sides but a real meal. With that being said, it's not a go to for me but the service as well as the drinks are AMAZING! read more

I always pass by this place and have never gone, but I went tonight. Wait was about 30 minutes on a Friday night. Our service was good and the food was decent. There isn't anything special about this place so not sure if we will be coming back, but if you're in the area it's worth a try. read more

DISAPPOINTING!!!!!! Had family in from out of town, decided to make the trek from Queen Creek to this location because the food is always good. Can say I wont be coming back. The issue was not the food, it was the service. HORRIBLE!!! Our waitress had the personality of a rock. I ordered a cheeseburger with meat, cheese and bun only. Burger finally made it to the table with no cheese, lettuce and pickle. After telling the waitress my oder was incorrect, she literally looked at me with a blank stare, did not say a single word, took the plate and walked away. 10 min. Later she returned, again, did not apologize and set the plate down in front of me and walked away. I do not understand people in the service industry that have NO PERSONALITY, or could careless. THEN, I decided to pay cash, which took about 30 minutes to get me change, or MOST OF MY CHANGE, i should say. Waitress returns with my bills and asks me "did you want your 20 cents as well?" I didn't feel like waiting another 30 minutes so I told her to forget it. But this was a first for me. I should have asked her if she wanted her tip as well. Piss poor service, and there are too many good restaurants out there to waste my time with businesses that don't appreciate you. VERY DISAPPOINTED with the server in particular. Wont be back anytime soon. read more

Had the pleasure of being served by an exceptional young lady by the name of Tiffany on Saturday December 21, 2024. She had a wonderful smile and disposition. The service and the food was fantastic!!! read more

I'm so glad that I live so close to Cheddar's. Their food prices are so reasonable and the value is great. I'm not talking about stellar food but if you want to down to earth, good, and comforting food, this is a place to check out. If you read their menu, they use fresh ingredients and they cook all of their food. You might be thinking, "Well, duh, all restaurants cook their food." I encourage you to read about chain restaurants and what they actually serve you. Anyways, enough ranting. I have been here several times but most recently, I got the chicken fried steak. They asked if I wanted the lunch or dinner portion. The only difference is that you get two chicken fillets in the dinner meal. The difference was $2. I ended up ordering the dinner portion so I can could have leftovers for lunch the next day. My portion was huge! For $11, I was impressed by how much food I got. I also go the honey butter croissants. This are so good and flaky! For all the times I've been here, I've never had something that I didn't like. They offer a huge selections of options too! There is something for everybody. They are usually packed on the weekends and you have to wait for a table but to me, it's totally worth it! read more

We used to come here all the time years ago! I brought my partner tonight so he could understand the hype about it and it was awful. I'm embarrassed. The food was so bad. We got a bacon burger and ordered it medium and it came out well done. We were hungry so we didn't send it back but it was rubbery and absolutely disgusting. He only ate two bites and felt sick that we had to leave. I got the steak and shrimp. Shrimp was okay the steak was too chewy and cooked to wrong temperature. Just bad food overall and as soon as we took one bite we decided we'll never come back or recommend. Sad to see the downfall after it being so outstanding years ago. Jeff, i believe was his name, was a great server. Very attentive and respectful. Nothing against the service just a bad company. read more

The worst customer service and management for a restaurant I have ever seen. You have choices. DO NOT CHOOSE THIS PLACE FOR AS A RESTAURANT.The service manager, Vanessa Casas, was the worst manager I ever seen. She was very condensending. When it was brought to her attention that no one answered the call button after 10 minutes, she yelled at me. The server was not very attentive to us as customers. Had to ask for refills. Dirty dishes left on the table during the whole meal. I had to select one star. I would give negative star if allowed. read more

Food had no seasoning. Strawberry lemonade was too sour. Croissants were okay. I got the pot pie and it had two pieces of chicken which looks like it was frozen. Would not go here again. I would not even eat here if it was free. Service was good though. read more

We are traveling from Chicago and have been to several restaurants during our trip to AZ. Cheddars is by the best restaurant!!! What made it so fantastic was our server Kelsey. She was very kind, and accommodating and really brightened our day! You don't meet many people that's genuinely nice. If you go to Cheddars ask for Kelsey and you will see what I mean. read more

I always love cheddar's for good cheap eats! Today I had my first lunch special from cheddar's and it was the same great customer service and food experience. The lunch specials run for $7.49 and $9.99 depending on what you order. I got the buffalo chicken wrapper and a Caesar salad. The salad came with their tasty croissant with honey butter (my favorite!!). Typically I'll do a pain killer drink but I had to get back to work. There's a 2 drink limit for the pain killer since they are so strong but they're definitely worth it! If you're near don't hesitate to give them a try. read more

My husband and I had dinner here last night. We used the wait list and even though people were waiting we were able to walk right in. The service was great and as always the food was excellent. I also noticed the prices were very reasonable. Never had a bad experience at this restaurant read more

Just an fyi it's one of the only places that doesn't accept the authorized Arizona state id for ordering drinks. I've never had an issue but today for some reason they all of sudden don't accept it. Even though every other store around accepts this. It's sad. Because yes this does affect my dinner and creates an inconvenience when going out to grab drinks with friends. Used to like this place but that's just really frustrating and completely ruined my experience. read more

For a chain restaurant, Cheddar's is decent. We have dined in a couple of times and had good food and service on both occasions. The last time we were in, I had the salmon and my husband tried the buttermilk chicken sandwich. We both enjoyed our dinner. My kids split the grilled cheese, which was standard, but they both liked it. I think this is a great option if you have young kids. Our food came out hot and quickly. I really have no complaints. My kids like to look at the fish in the large tank that they have set up upon entering the restaurant. read more

Worst fish and chips I've ever had. One piece didn't even have fish inside. I would not go back.

Love this place! Great prices for great tasty food!! This place is our families default to go to if we don't know where to eat out to!! Highly recommended read more

Very reasonable prices and large menu. Food was quite good. Not 'high end' dining but I would recommend it. Very popular and very busy.

This is like Chili's except that they actually serve hot food and have a warm interior (instead of the A/C blasting on you and your food). The prices are also excellent. read more

I ordered curb side pickup online, and the ordering process was very convenient. Roughly $50 for a ribeye and a sirloin/chicken. I arrived two minutes early, and called the number as instructed. I was told my food would be right out. Twenty five minutes later it was finally delivered to my car. When I got home and opened the boxes I discovered an overcooked ribeye, which was now cold. I also discovered dry chicken and the smallest sirloin ever produced by man. Just awful food, which wouldn't be the end of the world if it was cheap or on time. See pics for advertisement vs what I was served. I live one mile away so it could have at least been warm food. Be sure to click on the pictures and read the captions. read more

Some of the better restaurant food around. Definitely has a scratch feel. Onion rings are Bomb! And the chicken tenders are incredible. But probably my favorite would be the chicken pot pie. read more

I called in yesterday and got transferred two times and then was greeted by the manager and he was just a jerk. I would ask him questions and hardly get responses, and when I was done ordering and said "thank you have a great day" he just hung up. To make it even worse, when I got home and opened up my box I was extremely surprised by how little food there was. If I was dining in it would have been a lot more, everybody that's been here would agree. Not a great experience. read more

Got sat right away. Our server was Rihanna once we ordered drinks and the appetizer, the service just stopped. No salad no food for over 45 minutes. Finally we were acknowledged only to say that they were working on it. Food comes out, still no salad, and the meals were wrong, missing 1/2 the meal. They finally brought the right meal. No discount, no apology but the bill was $65 without tip! It was just the two of us and we didn't get all of our meals! read more

Haven't been to Cheddar's in a very long time. It's changed a lot since we were last there. The food was so much better and our server Tiffany was top notch and hilarious. My wife and mother-in-law loved her. Even with the groups of people that were there the location we sat felt nice and calm. We had a great experience. read more

Food was great as always but I need to give a big shout out to Sven, his service was amazing! Such a sweet person and always made sure we had everything we needed. Been a long time since we had service that great. Will be coming back again thanks to Sven! read more

I give 5 star for food . My steak was amazing. Me and boyfriend were enjoying our dinner in the booth by the bar. The older couple were sitting at the bar and this man was letting gas out for a good 15 seconds with no shame. Unfortunately I will not be returning even though the food didn't disappoint. read more

DID NOT DISAPPOINT! Before I get started big shout out to our waitress Bre "Like the cheese" you were awesome! Now let's get started.... We've been wanting to try Cheddars all year long since Kyle Busch switched over to RCR and got the Cheddars Sponsorship (ROWDY NATION!!) being from California there isn't one near us this weekend we visited Phoenix for the NASCAR Cup Series Championship and BAM! Guess what crossed our path CHEDDARS SCRATCH KITCHEN! Man they didn't disappoint I got the Country Fried Chicken absolutely fire! Chicken was well seasoned and juicy that gravy was on POINT! With a loaded mash potato on the side accompanied by some red beans and rice. My wife of course rolled with the #8 SPECIAL! (ROWDY NATION! LOL) And to our surprise you can actually customize the chicken tenders. Kids loved the croissants fresh out the oven glazed with that HONEY BUTTER BABY! MANNN I'm just a little disappointed the staff members didn't wanna sell me their work uniform Pit Crew Shirts ahaha would've been nice. I would highly recommend this spot and all the reviews complaining about the wait time it gets busy that's expected when the food is great. When they told me it was going to be a 30 min wait I kind of laughed in my head because in Cali that's quick service so it wasn't a major problem. Big hats off to the chefs/cooks and staff. read more

You've got to kidding me! Curbside to go, The employee hands me this baby sippy cup size Coke that I paid $2.99 for. I ask them about it, they say that is the only size they have. Really? Unbelievable... I don't even care if the food is the best food ever, 1 star is all the get from me. read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - World's smallest to go Coke, unreal... - Comfort Food Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

I had heard good things about this place, so I meet a friend there for lunch today. The location is nice. It's clean and not overly crowded with tables. The server showed up just after we sat down to get our drink orders, and he was very friendly. They got the drinks back quickly, and took our orders. I had heard that the chicken tenders were supposed to be great, so I got a steak and chicken combo. My friend tried their Montecristo. The food was served quickly, but that's where the good experience ended. They didn't refill our drinks after asking twice. The chicken is suppose to be golden brown and crispy, but mine were not even close to golden or crispy. The steak should have been medium rare, but there was no pink in any of it. The southern green beans tasted like they'd been kept warm for days. They would hardly hold together if you tried to stab them with a fork. The potato and salad were decent. My friend said that his sandwich was a little greasy, and had an odd taste to it. They finally brought our drink refills when we finished. I see this as just another fancy Denny's, but I like Denny's much better...Ha. read more

I tried Cheddar's for the first time. I ordered the blackened salmon and had the mashed potatoes and southern style green beans as sides. The salmon and mashed potatoes were awesome; however, the green beans were too sweet and didn't seem 'southern style' in their preparation (I did eat them all though). First of all, they should have used Romano/Italian green beans (which are flat), secondly, they were too sweet, and thirdly, they had no onions or bacon for that southern touch. The wait staff was great, the atmosphere was very pleasant, and the water was fresh tasting! I would recommend Cheddar's and will go back and try other items on their menu. read more

My drink was perfect and it only cost $6! I will return because of that alone. I had the Monte Christo sandwich. It was very filling. I like that it was deep fried.

I ordered one of my favorite things, Chicken fried Steak. It was probably one of the worst I've had. My wife's salad was good however. The other 4 people in our group ate everything but only one commented. The Salmon was good and what she always offers. As for the service - there continued apologies for taking so long speaks for itself. Very slow bringing out our food. I was a little surprised they didn't offer something to keep us going while waiting for the food. Ambiance was nice and fairly quiet which was nice since it was a retirement party of sorts and we were able to talk and be heard. It was my wife and I first time here and highly doubt we would ever go here on our own. read more
