Those glazed croissants .... They give you when you first sit down are amazing as always. Service was attentive and with a smile The menu always features of our variety of items to suit everyone taste... well lunch special prices that are great values!! I had the Monte Cristo and it was perfect! Great place with good food and good prices. The only reason I gave 4 stars is the booth seat seams were in need of some cleaning... too many crumbs and didn't want to sit on them! There for some time as I tried to scrap them away. Service was a little slow on drink refills but they were busier than usual. All and all always a great choice. read more

Ambiance is terrific! Fun and engaging. The food is typical of most chain restaurants, but enjoyable.

I am in the restaurant occasionally and the food was very delicious. The waitresses were very nice and met my needs very well. Also, this is a very convenient location to my residence. I will visit you again. read more

The hostess sat us almost immediately after our arrival on a busy Sunday afternoon, and our meal began with a plate of warm, sweet croissants. Next came a tower of crispy battered onion rings with two dipping sauces. Absolutely yum! I ordered two sides for my entree: Caesar salad and Buffalo fried shrimp. The chilled romaine lettuce was mixed with a Caesar dressing and topped with a perfect amount of shaved Parmesan cheese and toasted croutons. Oh, and my shrimp--it was cooked to perfection and seasoned just right with Buffalo sauce and a ramekin of Ranch dressing. My spouse ordered a Monte Cristo sandwich where the meat and cheese had been expertly tucked inside hollowed-out French-type rolls. They were sprinkled with powdered sugar and served alongside a ramekin of what he said was some of the best strawberry jam he's tried. He chose a cheesy broccoli casserole for his side and had no complaints with that. Brooke, our server, kept on her toes with a roomful of diners, treated us as though we were the only patrons in the restaurant. She checked back with us several times, cleared used dishes off the table and filled drink glasses. Another couple dined with us, and the restaurant seemed in no hurry to turn our table. We sat and chatted for several minutes after finishing our meal. We will return. read more

The service is usually pretty decent. I typically sit in the bar area. The honey butter croissants are amazing. The portions are huge and I always have food left to take home for later. Overall a pretty solid place. read more

We drove into Knoxville for the farmers market and decided to drive around afterwards. We stopped in at Cheddars and was not disappointed, my wife went with the tacos and I went with the chicken fried chicken. Both were amazing. We saw the towering onion rings go by to another table and said for sure we will be back to try them. The service was spot on and the ambiance was nice. Highly recommend and will be back !! read more

The croissants are delicious. The pasta was good too. I didn't love the cheese dip and chips but the other food was good. The chocolate cake was huge. It was good with the ice cream, but by itself too rich for me. Service was good, our server was nice and conversational when he had time to chat between tables. We like the waterfall at the front and the fish tank. The ambiance is nice. read more

my all time favorite restaurant amazing food amazing service and friendly fresh environment plus a very friendly staff

We came here for lunch after church and everything was great! We ordered the cheddar bites, and they were so good, and I absolutely LOVE the complementary fresh croissants (still warm from the oven!). They are absolutely AMAZING! Their prices on beer and wine are SO much more reasonable than other places we go, and the food was delicious! Their charge for a 9 oz. glass of wine is what most places charge for 6oz, and I hope they continue that! Our server, Peyton, was very attentive without being intrusive, and the whole experience was great! read more

We went in with a group of five people and all ordered something different and separately, and then each of us got a monster cookie to boot, and the food was all great and had massive portions, but what really stood out was our server, Alexis D., who kept is steadily supplied with drinks and was SO kind and understanding of everything we asked of her. Our food came out quickly and our desserts came out RIGHT on time for all of us, even though one took longer to finish his entree than anyone else. The machine had a problem scanning our cards and Alexis was just so kind about helping us figure it all out. 10/10 service, Alexis, we loved you! read more

Brought the family here for a quasi-holiday dinner, and as usual, everyone including the picky kids found a delicious meal, in their variety of offerings. Service for this crowd was excellent and personable. We always can count of Cheddar's to deliver the best service and food, even in busy holiday time. read more

Garbage cheap food. Price draws you in and having two children you look for that. But taste and quality left much to be desired. Steak was well done though ordered medium . Chicken was well I don't know . Tasted processed. Not great experience. read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen is on Kingston Pike just below Bearden High School at the corner of Kingston Pike and Gallaher View Road. The have a wonderful menu with a wide variety of options, including my favorite, a chicken pot pie. We went for lunch and we're served mouth watering croissants with a honey, buttery glaze. They were light and fluffy and melted in your mouth. Meals were about $10-15; very reasonable for the area. We enjoyed a quiet meal and were able to talk and eat comfortably. Our waitress was excellent and the food was served quickly and steaming hot. Follow me on Yelp for more places to dine and shop in the Knoxville and East Tennessee area. read more

my husband and i went twice to cheddars. i can be a really really picky individual and it can take me a while to come up with something to eat. cheddars was incredible and i knew what i wanted in a matter of minutes. our service was awesome both times, we had a quiet girl the first time and a little bit more of an extroverted one the second time. i am horrible at names, please excuse me :( but i had a chicken pot pie that was so perfectly salted. like you know sometimes how it can come out SO SALTY because of the dough and the chicken and the mirage or veggies and stuff? THIS was perfect. the whole PLACE was perfect. even when it was busy? it was quiet. and i like quiet. i'm from chicago and sometimes all im looking for a in a restaurant was quiet. Cheddars in Knoxville was absolutely just that and i wish cheddars was in chicago / chicagoland. read more

Came to Knoxville from Vegas- Cheddar's was our first meal while there. $22 for a 14oz ribeye that was so delicious! Can't beat that price. Our faavvee part was the buttery croissants. OMG. We ordered 6 of them to go. They were so good and soft. I can't wait to go back just for them! Service was great. The only downfall was that the bathroom was extremely dirty. It looked like nobody had wiped the stalls down in months, literally. read more

The last time I went to Cheddars, I honestly did not have the greatest experience. But this time, my experience was so great!! They were conscientious of my food allergies. They went above and beyond, that I would definitely come back!! The food was excellent too! read more

The food was great, everyone in our group was very pleased with their meal. The Service was exceptional. I forgot my cane in this location, I called management and asked them to mail it to me in Virginia and offered to pay the shipping, the manager told me there was no need for me to pay for it, that they would cover it, not only did they cover it, but they express mailed it to me. Top notch people. I can't thank them enough. Loved the decor and seating also. read more

Haven't been here since right before the pandemic and all this time, I've been dreaming of their onion rings. Not just your ordinary onion rings, but the crispy fried ones with no excess oil, the kind with the incredibly sweet onions locked inside the tasty crust, and ohhh the smell! But alas, Cheddars has dropped them from their menu! What?? Why?? Oh I am so bummed. But the hamburger and service today was great; I sure do miss those onion rings; may they one day be brought back to the tables. read more

Just had lunch here today. This is the epitome of comfort food. Starting with the warm croissaints, drizzled with honey butter! They are dangerous. We were waited on my "Ty" and he was excellent. Engaging, personable and very welcoming. He was very responsive to the table and checked on us regularly. Ty made the visit a great time. Thank you. read more

The family and I, after careful deliberation, decided upon Cheddars for our evening sustenance. We had been in heated debate whether to eat at O'Charleys or this establishment. Both were favored for one thing and one thing in particular. The pre dinner accompaniment. O'Charleys has their delicious rolls and Cheddars, their buttered croissants. Back and forth it went, until expecting mama put her foot down and asserted her will. The croissants won out, and thus, we find ourselves seated around a table, licking butter off our fingers. Isn't it typical that us crazy Americans are arguing over buttered bread while a war is raging in the Ukraine? I'm sure they have never tasted Cheddars croissants, for if they had, they may at this very moment be breaking bread at the negotiating table. Two burgers, a Dijon chicken dish, a country fried steak, and chicken fingers for Benjamin, hit our table just about the time we were wondering if we had been stiffed by our server. We weren't forgotten, not even when I had mentioned that a beer was a couple of ounces short. Most likely due to an evaporated head (not the server, the glass of beer). Our server promptly brought those delinquent 2 oz.'s in a separate glass. I was kind of hoping for a full one. It would have been a "shingled roof" you know, it's on the house? Our food was right on. Very good and what we expected. On par with what we would have got at the O's. The funny thing is that when all was said and done, our conversation on the drive back home centered around the croissants. The consensus was that O'Charleys' rolls were, in fact, better than Cheddars croissants. Did I mention something about crazy Americans? So why only 4 stars for the Ched? Well, because when I picked Benjamin up to see the fish in the aquarium, I saw quite a bit of algae on the inside glass. I figured that if the fish were swimming in muck, I could only imagine what's under the dining tables?! Quick Tip: Sign up for their emails, and you get free queso and chips. But make sure you give them your right email address. I screwed up on that so we went chipless. I guess I was too busy debating about the darn bread. read more

Pleasant surprise. We were on the run and stopped in. Lovely wife got a great moist burger and I gambled on the 8 oz sirloin medium rare. It was a healthy cut and cooked perfect. The bar-server even made it a better experience. read more

I just got home from Cheddar's. My husband and daughter are now throwing up. My guess is food poisoning. Really not happy about it. Well besides that. We haven't been to cheddar in years but at school the teacher we're all talking about cheddars yummy rolls. I would say apart from that. It was the only thing good about Cheddar's. Are service was mediocre. The food was just ok. Seeing my family got food poisoning. That should tell you everything. I would have talked to the manager but to busy chit-chatting with the bartender. The talking to the customers. I would not recommend Cheddar's to anyone. read more

Everything about this restaurant was superb. A little pricey but well worth the experience.

Waited a whole hour and 10 min to get my to go order Of 2 things only.

It's a chain, but it's good. Love the croissants, they are worth a visit if you've never been.

Upon entering this establishment, I refuse to call compliment it by calling it a restaurant, my wife and I were "greeted" by what had to be the most hateful hostess I have ever encountered. She literally dropped the menus and silverware on the table before we sat down and walked off. Before ordering, I went to the restroom. It was filthy and stank of urine...ALSO the stall was "gang tagged" (See pictures below) The server was either new or had some sort of learning disability. The food runner had his mask around his chin exposinghis mouth and nose. I think he may have had learning disabilities as well. Who doesn't know how to properly wear a mask??? When I received my meal the steak was nearly well done, I ordered it medium rare, yet cold as were the coconut shrimp. Instead of complaining about the wrong steak I asked for some A-1, which I never use, because I like to taste my steak, he brought me barbecue sauce and said that they didn't have A-1. The loaded baked potato was so overcooked that it had shriveled and dried out and the broccoli casserole had a large burnt section on it. The server rushed the check and I told him that we wanted desert he audibly sighed and reluctantly took the desert order. The chocolate cake was stale, the ice cream was nearly melted and to top it off, he said that they were out of cherries. I will not speak for my wife's experience because it is not my place to do so. In conclusion don't eat at this Cheddars at all!!! Go to Burger King down the road. I have never been there but it has to be better than Cheddars, and probably won't be tagged by gangs. Also, you won't have to pay nearly $100 to be disappointed. read more

I don't usually love chain restaurants but Cheddar's always provides a great meal at a good price. Today was no exception. There were two of us, both old-ish women, there for lunch. We both chose the Veggie Plate which allows the choice of a bowl of Potato Soup or a house salad AND four of te great sides. The choices are all delicious and portions generous. All this for $10! To top it all off our server, Allison, was stellar. She made sure everything was to our liking, kept drinks refilled , cheerful brought containers for leftovers and bags. She went the extra mile, cheerfully spoiled us. read more

The past two visits I came out here to visit my parents they took me to Cheddar's! Both times were AMAZING! The food is so good here and the prices are very reasonable especially for a touristy area. My parents absolutely love this place and rave about it. We came today before they dropped me off at the airport and the service was A+++ and our waiter wasn't bad looking as well so that didn't hurt haha. I wish I got his name cause he was on top of EVERYTHING!! The food was really great and cooked to perfection and we didn't have to wait long even though it was busy. They are well staffed to take care of all the customer needs. I will definitely be back every time I'm in the area read more
