    Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5 5/5 on the honey butter croissants!! Recommended dishes- the grilled salmon Our steak came out a little under to how we liked it but they had no issues with making it right for us :) Noise level- easy to talk, family setting.

    Came here for dinner on a Monday night and even though it was extremely crowded, we were seated right away. Our waitress was nice, but did not come around to us a lot, so the surface was very slow. It took a very long time for our food to come out, I would say longer than normal for a busy Monday evening. The croissants were delicious, and her food was very good as well. It was also extremely loud in the area of the restaurant that we were sitting in, and it got worse as our meal progressed.

    This one's gonna be a mixed review. People period the food as usual was really good. Everything else went right into the hole prayed. So I ordered mushrooms with my sirloin steak and they did not come out. I also ordered corn as a side dish. Instead, I got rice and our server dropped by our table. Once every 15 minutes at most I was also surprised that when I ordered a mistake and shrimp combination only got 4 tiny shrimp with my order Like I said, at the beginning of this review, the food is good and the people are really friendly. But there's a lot of issues going on at that restaurant. And they need to be repaired for customer service. To stay where it should in these trying times

    We were having an adventure in North Phoenix and it was past lunch so we decided to stop at Cheddar's because the parking lot was packed! (That's always a good sign.) We were greeted and seated immediately. Kiana was our waitress and she was very sweet, cheerful AND helpful as we made our selections for lunch. The food was fresh and delicious. I prefer my chicken a little more well done and it came exactly the way I like it. The portions were generous, and we each took a large serving home . Cheddars offers a honey croissant at the beginning of a meal ... which is an interesting twist and is delicious. A little like having dessert first The ambience was pleasant with plenty of space to move between tables. The chairs and tables were comfortable. Booths were an option. What we noticed was there was a lot of laughter among staff from the kitchen ... so they must enjoy each other and working together! We will definitely be back next time we're in the area .

    Meatloaf & chicken fried steak weren't very good, nothing had any seasoning, taste like hospital food, meatloaf is really strange taste, salad was delicious & service was great Chicken fried steak was a lot of breading.

    Good food. Love their sampler. The ceaser salad is yummy as well. They give you croissants as complementary. They are yummy.

    The monte Christco yummy

    Went to this location last night. We have never been to Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen and figured it would be a great place to dine for our 29th Wedding Anniversary. Parking lot was full but we did not wait long for a parking space. We thought this was a good sign. Seating was available despite the crowd. We visited this location around 4:30pm but they were busy. We were usher to a booth quickly but the seating was very narrow and quite uncomfortable (I'm built like an Offensive Lineman; tall and thick). There were no tables available with chairs. Despite being by in a booth next to a wall, it was a but noisy and was a challenge to hold a conversation at the table. Server was quick to the table. Being our first time and our anniversary, we informed our server as such and she provided some decent recommendations for appetizers. Our order: 1. Appetizer Trio (queso w/ chips, spinach dip, and cheddar fries with bacon); 2. Wife: 8oz Sirloin (Medium) with house salad (blue cheese dressing) and Broccoli Cheddar Casserole with Coke Zero. 3. Me: 8oz Sirloin (Medium) with sautéed mushrooms and onions, house salad (vinaigrette), and Broccoli Cheddar Casserole with Strawberry Lemonade/Water. Appetizers: served quickly. Quality was okay but not for the price. Was served hot but the queso was already coagulating on the top (nothing a good stir doesn't fix) as was the queso on the cheddar fries. House salads: served second with chilled fork. Salad was pleasantly crisp and chilled. Serving size of dressing was appropriate. Entree: did not take long to arrive (roughly 15-20 minutes). However, we were a but disappointed as my wife's sirloin was fatty with a huge tendon through it. It also was not cooked Medium as requested by Medium Rare (extremely bloody). The steak was hot as was her Broccoli Cheddar Casserole. Mine was very disappointing. My steak was cooked to Medium as requested but was not hot (more room temp) and my Broccoli Cheddar Casserole was cold. The sautéed mushrooms and onions were not served hot either. I even had my wife taste to confirm. We offered our feedback to our server (we never caught her name; we don't even remember her offering it). We were really disappointed to be told this location was having issues with back of house kitchen staff being consistent with quality of orders. Total bill: 67.34 plus $13.51 tip (we always give generously despite the level of service/quality of food) totaling $80.94. Overall satisfaction: food was mediocre at best, ambiance was "okay", but our Server was fast and friendly.

    I stopped by with the family to have a yummy dinner, we were greeted right away and there was a little of a wait but not horrible! It was about 5 minutes or so, so that was great! I love the ambiance in here, love the fish tank they have in here! The service is always so great as well. Our server was super nice and attentive. I love their croissants they give as starters with the honey butter it is delicious! We also always start with the Wisconsin Cheese Bites with ranch and they home make their ranch I believe and it is soo soo good! I'm picky with my ranch and theirs is soo goooood! For my meal I got the Number 8 meal it is a chicken tender plate and I get mashed potatoes with brown gravy and buttered corn, yum! Then my mom got the 6 OZ fire grilled sirloin steak with mashed potatoes with brown gravy and buttered corn! Looked delicious! Then my son got a kids burger with french fries. My mom's friend got the beer battered fish with Shrimp with the loaded mashed potatoes and homemade queso and bacon french fries. Everything was yummy and smelt amazing!

    Do you guys serve actual food? Or just crap like all the other chains? The food here looks highly processed.

    Pretty dumb question. You should probably just not go. With that attitude, you won't like it.

    Do you have happy hour?

    As per the employees, there is no Happy Hour. However, there should be! They have a very nice bar area and I would consider coming back for a Happy Hour.

    Is it Open?

    According to the phone recorded message they open July 18, 2022

    Alo our server was great! She was so sweet, engaging, and attentive!!…read more This was my 1st time here. The menu was overwhelming because how can you not want everything? Sitting outside was very nice and private, lovely ambiance for any event as long as the weather permits Clean bathrooms and enough mirrors to make anyone wonder why are you in here for so long?! Great size for moms and accessibility needs in a single stall. Food was really good as well as the drink. I could have had a little more seasoning on my fish but still really good. The shrimp were a very nice size and the grits were nice and creamy in this Cajun combo lunch! Pop in, sit in Ali's section and enjoy a great lunch, dinner, or even a snack! Took some dirty rice to go for the snack!

    Great food, great atmosphere, and a memorable dining experience!…read morePappadeaux is one of those places where you know you're in for a good meal as soon as you walk in. The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, and the menu has plenty of great options for seafood lovers. Everything we ordered was flavorful and well prepared, with generous portions and the kind of Southern/Louisiana-inspired flavors that make the meal feel special. The service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, which made the whole experience even better. We started with gator tail and fresh bread. Two of us had the crayfish trio on the secret menu, one swordfish, one the blackened catfish and salmon topped with shrimp. We celebrated my birthday with banana pudding and shared a brownie. It's a great choice when you're looking for something a little nicer than an everyday restaurant but still want a fun, comfortable atmosphere. We enjoyed our visit and would definitely come back to Pappadeaux again!

When the extended, extended family arrives in town for any reason, Golden Corral pops to the top of our list. Bountiful variety, buffet pricing, long tables, service enough to keep everyone decently satisfied with extra napkins, drink refills, take away used plates and the other small needs of a table full of diners of all ages. March 29th, 2026 a herd of humans gathered to feast. A Sunday, the after church crowd was present in their finery. Other families were in for a Sunday supper. Our crowd gathered from Albuquerque, Northeast Arizona, Deer Valley, Central Phoenix and? Remembering our deceased. I sat next to a lovely woman in her 70's, and two seats away from a six year old. My modest beginnings of spiced beans, cornbread and select salad parts was ultimately supplemented and completed by wings, mashed potators and greens from my left, and a hot dog with one bite gone and a giant helping of mac and cheese. The six year old ran off with my frozen yogurt cone. Such is life. Our service was excellent, a young woman successfuly dealing with her crowded section of The Corral. Our last time here was pre-Covid. Prices are higher, crowds are crowder, the busy food steam and other trays emptird and filled from the busy kitchen. Will we return? I am sure we will.

From the great wood grain basement dark ambience to to the raw, regular bar, and multiple sit-down options, we have tried it all. The allure of trying to find a place down in a basement where you have to find the right elevator was pretty bad ass. The hosts along with the waitresses and bar tenders are always welcoming and knowledgeable about their food and drink. I also think it is cool that you can get lockers to store your expensive liquor for return trips. We often come here for drinks and oysters, because my wife loves oysters and they have a wide range of options that aren't exactly cheap, but don't break the bank for freshness and taste. I only really mark down the rating because the menu has been stale over the years and they used to offer elk that is no longer available. Now call that pretentions or snooty, but I think they could use some unique options to keep the experience moving each time you come in. Also, I feel a restaurant of this caliber should be evolving to match their cool vibe and unique experience. I usually get the Wren house beer but feel the beer optiosn are limiting I also feel like some of their cocktails are overpriced, but they are unique compared to other places, so maybe I am just cheap. So really this rating should be more a 4.5. What really brings you back is the cool art on the wall with a Theodore Roosevelt slant and cool sitting areas like a sofa setting in what looks like it would be his old school library. Don't get me wrong everything I have eaten here has been good, but nothing hearkens back like that elk. This place makes for an amazing tinder date if you are willing to drop that cash and make that impression, come here then hop on over to Valley bar and she will think you are magician of illusive locations if she hasn't already been there.
