Plus Side: Promptly seated, friendly assistance, decent followup after our meals arrived. Salmon dinner was good. Pork chop dinner was okay. Good bourbon sauce condiment for the chops. Restaurant was clean. Could Do Better Side: They were out of a couple side dish offerings even though we were ordering just after they'd opened for the day. The wait for the meals after ordering was on the long side. Caramelized onions with the chops were kinda- warmed- up onions. Meh. Bottom line -- worth a visit now as one of a variety of places you might go to just for a change of pace. read more

We love this place ! The food is simple, tastes good and great portions ! The pricing is not too bad either. Daphne and Mary are great servers here and the manager Jared you can tell loves his job he genuinely enjoys what he does! Came in for dinner with 7 others and everyone loved it! There's something for everyone here read more

Last minute dinner plans why not Cheddars! I can always count on a good quality of food and drinks to fill me up and they definitely have it. Good home style cooking! It was a Monday evening and we chose seating on the bar side at a booth. Our waitress quick and friendly made our time there seamless. read more

Sunday: We were looking forward to our loaded potatoes with our slab of ribs but curb pick up gave us 2 plain potatoes. No toppings.

Atmosphere feels like a good old chain restaurant. Nothing special. Sat in bar area, service was ok. Greeted, order taken and bill dropped. Needs a little more customer interaction. Had the buffalo chicken wrap! Fantastic. Way more food than I was expecting. Friend had the chicken strips with all the sauces. She loved every bit. All in all, good experience. Will try again. read more

I'm back...with family this time. Today is busier than Friday but the wait wasn't long at all. Tracy is an excellent server. She's engaging, knows the best selections and gives good suggestions. The Croissant rolls are too yummy. The Wisconsin Cheese Bites are a good choice for an appetizer. I selected the Fall-Off-The-Plate Baby Back Ribs with Red Beans & Rice and Green Beans as my sides. The taste of the green beans grew on me. A full rack is definitely two meals. The other orders were Steak & Chicken Tenders with Red Beans & Rice and French Fries, Fish & Shrimp with double Red Beans & Rice and Shrimp Alfredo. The Fish & Shrimp was enough for one meal. Everyone else had a takeout. The restroom was in good shape again. It was an overall good dine in experience! read more

We have been to this location several times and had enjoyed our experiences. We returned since the food was tasty. The restaurant itself is quaint with its decor. The booths are comfortable. On this recent occasion we went to celebrate my birthday. The young lady who waited on us was neutral, not friendly but not rude well at least not until we were ready to leave. I asked her for change for a $20 since I like to leave cash as tips. She informed me I would have to wait for a while to get my change. Ok. I figured maybe a couple minutes. After watching her walk past us several times without any acknowledgment I press the service button. She came to the table with an attitude and said "do you need something?"! Yes, I need my change. I still gave her 20% but with that attitude towards two senior citizens maybe she didn't deserve it. read more

Ok, I don't know about these reviews here. I personally came with a family group and had a great time. Our server was by far the best I've had in a long time. I was shocked how many times he not only check on us, but the fact he carried all six entrees with him. He was on top of everything, funny, and just great at his job. Especially with how busy the night was. I was not expecting the croissants in the beginning. Like who decided to make some of the most complicated breads? They were light, fluffy, buttery, and sweet. Kind of reminded me of the taste of sweet bread with a crisp from the layers. I think it's genius of them to have this as their bread identity. I ordered the corn meal crusted white fish with red beans & rice and broccoli. It was a hefty plate and I definitely had leftovers. I loved the steamed broccoli and it had garlic sauteed with it. The red beans & rice was good, but just a little too salty for me. Otherwise I loved it all. This was a great family gathering restaurant, date night, or just because meal. read more

Ate here at 5pm on Saturday and we were seated immediately. Their honey butter croissants are sooooo good. We also had the New Orleans pasta and the 8 oz sirloin steak. I'm knocking down one star just because the steak was closer to well done than the medium well we ordered. But otherwise, our food was good and the service was excellent. read more

I brought my dad here to try a different restaurant other than Black Bear Diner. He's a creature of habit and likes what he likes. As long as it's American comfort food I knew he'd find something he would like. I thought he would order the chicken strips and fries but he surprised me and ordered meatloaf. I tried it and thought it was just ok. He liked and enjoyed it so that's all that matters. I ordered the country fried chicken with country gravy. The chicken was crispy and juicy. It was really good. The gravy and mashed potatoes were delicious, the green beans could've been seasoned they were kind of bland. There was a piece of Texas toast under the chicken which I thought was unnecessary. Their croissants are melt in your mouth yummy! Casual and clean and it wasn't too busy when we arrived. It got a little busier before we left. The food took quite a while to come out. Not sure if that's normal or not but our waitress was super nice and attentive. Overall it was a good experience and my dad enjoyed it. read more

The food is not the best but not the worst either. We tried the cheese curds and spinach dip as an appetizer which were great. For our entrees we had the BBQ ribs with broccoli casserole and corn, as well as the chicken pot pie. To be honest...Marie callenders frozen chicken pot pie is far more flavorful than cheddars. The ribs were ok, the flavor was great and the price was great but they were rather dry. Overall our experience was great because our server Ethan made it quite an enjoyable experience for us, as quality service is hard to come by nowadays. This probably isn't a place that I would ever come back to or recommend to a friend. It's very average. read more

First time here. Sunday evening, not too long of a wait. Was seated and our waiter was Andrew. Excellent service, very attentive and got our orders correct. We ordered the trio appetizer, spinach dip, chicken tenders and queso dip with chips and salsa. They were all good especially the spinach dip. Main course, there was 6 of us, we ordered: grilled t bone steak with loaded baked potato & broccoli cheddar rice casserole, grilled 8oz sirloin with fries, rice & beans, chicken tender platter with ranch dipping sauce, fries and broccoli cheddar casserole, chicken tender platter with delicious hot honey dipping sauce, loaded baked potato & corn, grilled shrimp alfredo with loaded baked potato & steamed broccoli, and chicken fried steak with loaded baked potato & broccoli cheddar rice. Steaks were cooked perfectly as requested- they were juicy, tasty & tender. Chicken tenders were crispy, all sides were good. Overall, the food was delicious. We had great service, good food and a nice, enjoyable environment. The restaurant was busy but staff were quick to clean tables and pick up. Would definitely return. read more

I love Darden restaurants in general for their service. They just know how to train people correctly. That being said the food here, is subpar, next to other Darden restaurants. I sat at the bar for lunch recently, and it's the first time I've had bad service. He was actually super rude, and for the most part I was ignored. I thought maybe he was just like that, and then a group of business men came in and he treated them like kings. Maybe it was because I was by myself and he didn't think he was gonna get a good tip? I don't know what the reason was, but he was mistaken, because I'm in the business, and I'm a great tipper. I still gave him more than he deserved because that's how I am. I should change that. The point is if you want generally good service, and OK food ok prices, this will serve you well. read more

I was finally able to make it here and try some of the food , We had quite a large party and I would say the wait time was pretty good for showing up last minute they were able to get us in pretty quick. We were able to get are drinks and appetizers pretty quick. For apps we got the Onion Rings which were a good quantity but a little soggy for me I definitely prefer the beer battered type, We also got the Wisconsin Cheese bites and they were really good and came with a good amount. Now for the entrees I ended up getting the Monte Cristo which was good but different since it is like fair food and fried in batter but had really good flavor. We also got the Lemon pepper chicken with vegetables and I will say the chicken was amazing such good flavor and so juicy. I also forgot the complimentary croissants which were so so good definitely a nice addition upon arriving.We also got the Top Sirloin steak and ribs platter which my daughter said was so good and definitely a really good portion of food , needless to say there was plenty left to take home. For the place being pretty busy it wasn't loud which was nice and they have a nice big fish tank once you walk in and seating by the door if you have to wait to be seated. read more

We came in early evening on a Saturday and got a table right away! The hostess and waitress were very attentive and kind, giving us their full attention every time. I ordered creamy garlic tilapia and shrimp with seasoned rice and Cole slaw. It was a great combo!! The sauce paired the shrimp very well and the tilapia was crispy to the bite. The rice was a bit too salty in my opinion, but it is seasoned rice, so maybe that's normal. The ambiance is similar to your neighborhood restaurant chains. However, it does feel newer and cleaner. Nice for a casual dinner. read more

We normally love this location but today's food was horrible. I ordered a pickup of country fried chicken that I ate so many times but this time it's tough and rubbery. So disappointed at this location. The last time we dined in was also not so great. It was dead slow on a Saturday at lunch and our croissant was over cooked and hard. What's up with the cooks back there. I don't think I'll return to this location. read more

Our waiter was excellent! Wish the food was. I ordered the Country Fried Chicken with gravy. The 2 sides were French fries and broccoli cheese casserole. The entree tasted like fish. The casserole was barely warm. The fries were good. For dessert I had the chocolate cake sundae, which was delicious! I'm never going back and I'm hoping I won't get salmonella. read more

Had a chance to go back and have a fantastic meal. Such a different meal from last time we dined at Cheddar's. We had the fish and grilled shrimp and the chicken tenders and shrimp. Both meals were fresh and perfectly cooked. Our server Elizabeth was super friendly and very informative as we asked about a couple of items on the menu. We really enjoyed the food and service!! read more

Love that you are be on the waitlist ahead before you get there so you are not waiting forever. It was a crazy business night. This is my first visit this location. I have been at the one in Chandler (love it) and the Bell (not a fan), I was hoping this location will be a good one since it is closer to home. BINGO, it was. Service was great and good was great. The timing to get food took a long time, but I know they were super busy. Love their buttery croissants are SOOO good. The Chicken fried chicken was very good and I inhaled all of it. read more

Restaurant was clean and nice inside. Server was nice. Husband had a shrimp and chicken entree and he liked it. I ordered the Monte Cristo and it was honestly terrible. They put it in a deep fat fryer. They did not fry it in a pan as it should be done. The batter was so thick, cheese was non existent. I did not eat it. The raspberry sauce was good. They did deduct from bill and staff was very accommodating. read more

asked for medium steak tips. got well done. they took them back and made me a new one. they had me cut one and see, it was "okay". well the rest was well done ! and super peppery! gross. instead of taking off, they offered another meal.. at this time I didn't even get to eat with my family bc they had t "redo it" once already I wasn't waiting for another meal. very disappointed... I usually come to this Loction even thou the Peoria one is closer becuasee it's better ... not after this experience.. read more

We used to love this restaurant. We were very disappointed in the quality of the food when we ate there 6 mos ago. It's too bad they let a good restaurant become less than average. We would not go back because it was more expensive and not good food. read more

We were really excited to try a new restaurant so we got there and they have an amazing staff. Everyone was very welcoming and polite... as soon as I walked in it felt like I was at the old country buffet. My hubby and I got the ribeye and it was ok! I was expecting it to be better bc of the reviews that I read. Everyone was nice but that's about it... nothing to rave about unfortunately, it was plain and simple and quiet read more

They can't cook a hamburger medium. After the 2nd try the manager offered a dessert that I can't eat. Said sorry his normal chef is not there but still charged full price. Waste of money probably last visit. read more

First time trying Cheddars so was not sure what to expect. Our server Mary was fantastic and gave us some ideas of the most favorite meal and side selections. We stayed basic and got chicken tenders for my husbands meal and I chose the chicken fried chicken. Pleasantly surprised! Both of us loved our meals. Highly recommend the cheddar broccoli casserole as a side. Amazing! The restaurant was clean and beautiful inside. All the staff was great and welcoming. Mary was one of best waitress we have had in a long time. Very attentive and great attitude!. She made the dining experience even that much better. We will be back because of the service and great food. read more

Have been wanting to try this place for a while and I am so glad I did! Our waitress was very nice and was always checking on us, I loved that! Our food came out fresh and in a timely manner. The croissants they give you are so good and soft! I have no complaints, the apps were forsure my favorite. Our entrees were also so good, only thing that wasn't to good was the loaded baked potato. It didn't have much toppings on it so it was pretty dry. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying other items. I totally recommend the beer battered shrimp app! It was delicious! read more

Tonight was quite disappointing.. though our server was accommodating.. our corner booth was freezing and the A/C had to be turned off...the appetizers were tasty but brought out cold, (after we specifically asked for them to be hot - same problem we had on previous visit) we sent them back to be reheated. Food choices looked good but tasted quite ordinary... with sides of carrots and corn both arriving cold. Desserts looked good, so we ordered up.. a mistake since long hair was found deep in the ice cream/chocolate cake. This obviously ruined our evening. Manager was apologetic and did offset the bill. Cheddars had been on our "go to list" but I don't think we will be going back! read more

My girlfriend and I were at this restaurant last year for my birthday! I loved it! I've been back and enjoying it since! One of my favorite places! Their croissants and butter are magnificent! They are great for steak or ribs and the sides are scrumptious too! My mouth is watering now! See you at cheddars! read more

Wanting to write an appreciation to Tracy for being what I think servers should be! As a server before myself, I find myself being bias and knowing what to expect as I take great pride in the industry. I know what being busy is and can tell the flow and don't mind being patient when I know it can be hectic! I find the small gestures of being acknowledged to be impactful and Tracy nailed it! Very attentive once she was available and even giving us the table tap before letting us know she would be right back to give us her attention when we first came in! Thank you Tracy for loving your job as it shows and makes the dinning experience a great one!! read more

We enjoy this resturant. Our waitress was good. We went after Church. We took friend's.

Usually I love going here. My daughter and I both love the queso dip. I guess tonight only one of us will enjoy our dinner as these are practically empty. read more

Food: 3-stars - My friends and I had a pretty big order for take-out. We had 6 entrees and 4/6 were messed up somehow. My wife's chicken and broccoli Alfredo was dry (hardly any sauce), the chicken was rubbery and broccoli was soggy. Also, her garlic bread was soggy and had a foamy texture. My country fried chicken should have included fries and a side of broccoli but the person taking our order put down a baked potato instead of fries. My friend's Cesar salad was DRENCHED in dressing even though we requested for the dressing on the side. Another order of country fried chicken did not receive its correct sides. But apparently the T-Bone steak and cheeseburger meals were prepared properly and tasted pretty good. So overall, would like to give them another chance when dining in, but definitely did not like our first experience with from this Cheddars in Goodyear. Service: 3-stars - The person taking down our order must have had a tough time hearing our order over the phone because they messed up on quite a bit of details. Although our order was pretty bad, we called back to voice our complaints and the manager was able to give us a refund for 4 of the 6 entrees. I'm sure the manager was just fed up with hearing about our complaints, and offered that as a quick resolution; the manager was not apologetic and did not voice any sympathy. And when I said thank you, the manager just hung up. Pretty sure he could use some managerial training, but I get it, we're all human and can get irritated in the hospitality business. However, stellar customer service does still exist in this industry and it's unfortunate this place does not embody that. So 3 stars is pretty fair for my experience. Ambiance: Cannot give a fair review as we ordered for take-out. So will be giving update once we have a chance to dine in. Overall: 3-stars. Not a great first experience ordering from here, but am willing to give them another chance. read more

Not sure what happened to Cheddar's but something has dreadfully changed. Visited today, welcomed by no hostess (no hostess was present when we left either). Finally, a woman showed up to seat my husband and I. As we walked by several uncleaned tables, she takes us to a table way back to a dark corner near the bar. (The place was nearly empty on a Friday at 12:30pm and this is the best you got?! Weird.) When I spoke up to say we'd prefer another table she turned and abruptly said "Well you choose!" We should've chosen the exit. Though it took a while for service to arrive, our server Alan D was nice and accommodating. The take away here...Cheddar's should realize that there are many other places to choose from these days for a meal in our area. They once had it together. It seems they lost their way. Sad. read more
