Went here recently my daughter had a hockey tournament in nearby Wesley Chapel. We have one of these Cheddars back in Illinois which I don't live near anymore, and don't make often. I have fond memories of getting a burger with french fries onions on top which in Illinois they call (Onion) straws. Unfortunately, they don't have that on the menu here. Was disappointed because it provided happy memories. Anyway I found some other fun things as I enjoyed the Key West chicken and shrimp. Side of broccoli, and a side of red beans plus rice . Awesome! I loved it. Spouse had that bourbon salmon and shrimp. She was quite happy with that and the daughter had lemon pepper chicken. I must say they're extremely reasonably priced! So, we ate full dinners with sides and the actual total was under $60 which was shocking! Service was good, but it was quite busy as we were there on a Saturday afternoon. Which means very very busy, and probably date night but we toughed it out. And we had a party of 7 . They said the wait was 10 minutes , it was more like 30 but it was very worth it. Food was excellent and I would recommend going there. read more

This was our second time we have been here. The last time was a bit of a while ago The food kind of reminds us of Cracker Barrel. We had a gift card, & came from the Outlet Mall so it was a perfect time to try it out again. Since it was late, we wanted to pick something healthier. Our first impression was seeing a lot of fried items on the menu, so it was hard to decide. We finally decided about the chicken pot pie for me. It comes with a house salad which is what I wanted.my husband ordered the Dijon chicken with mushrooms. He changed the sauce to honey mustard instead. First came the glazed Croissant. Oh my! That was so good. I'd be back for just a croissant and a house salad with honey lime dressing and be happy. That salad dressing also stole the show which made me not want to stop eating my salad. I must say, for some reason, I didn't like the cheese. Like there was a weird after taste, so I just pushed that to the side. My chicken pot pie was good. I ate some and took it home for leftovers. The crust was tasty too. This made me miss Boston Market honestly. I loved their chicken pot pie. This was a good rendition. My husband had his chicken with mushrooms, carrots and rice. He said it was ok. Our service was great. Super helpful and nice. read more

For dinner on Friday night, I ordered a Chicken Pot Pie from Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen. I called them and placed the order. I grabbed my food from Cheddar's in about 20 minutes. I got the Chicken Pot Pie with broccoli and a croissant, and it was a really great dinner. The chicken pot pie was hot, well-made, and delicious. read more

While visiting Tampa, I was looking for something quick for dinner, and my mom recommended this spot. She insisted we try the croissant, and I'm glad we did. It was delicious and definitely a highlight. For my meal, I went with the buffalo chicken wrap, which was solid. Overall, it's a nice, easy option for dinner when you don't feel like cooking. read more

We always wanted to try Cheddar's for lunch and we finally did today (21 February) The place is very clean, well lit and comfortable. I wish they had more TV's around. We ordered the queso fries, chicken wrap, fried shrimp and monte crisco. Nice portion sizes and reasonably priced. Service was exceptional. Jordan is amazing, kind and very sweet. She was very busy but it seemed like we were her only table. Highly recommended read more

Catching up on reviews and Cheddars happens to be on my list. Now our server was on top of her game all night with the tables she had. Back and forth and made sure everyone was well taking care of. The inside was pretty quiet and we made sure to order quickly because of the fact that we got there an hour before they closed. I kind of doubted that the food was going to be good because I figured everyone was tired ready to go home but to my surprise it turned out fantastic. The chicken and shrimp were cooked perfectly and the tenders and fries were fried well. Great service and a great meal. read more

TY is the best very welcoming and knowledgeable, what a sweetheart ask for her! She is the best! Camila & Andrea

This is about our third time coming to Cheddar's and that says something haha Very friendly staff and comfortable feeling when you walk in. Homey. Our waitress Kayleigh was great, friendly and great nails also haha One of our napkins was a bit nasty but she took care of that right away. Great vibes with her. The Honey croissants are always great. First off the mango tea was DELICIOUS!Mind blowing good, some places teas are just too much or too little even and that mango tea was PERFECT! Onto the food lol We got the spinach dip as an appetizer and the chips were a bit salty but don't think y'all can help that much. I got the country fried steak with Corn and mashed potatoes. The steak DEFINETLY shrunk naturally so there ended up being more crispy breading than meat. Not bad at all though, corn was sweet and can never go wrong with mashed potatoes. I'll try the pot pie next time. My mother got fish and shrimp and brother got chicken. All crispy fried goodness. You guys are great! Keep doing what you're doing Cheddar's because we will be back! read more

This is a nice chain family restaurant with a lot of comfort food items on their menu. Start you off with complimentary fresh croissant with honey butter, which is wonderful! The home cooked meal options like grilled chicken is usually a favorite of ours. read more

We LOVE dining here! We are usually seated rather quickly, the ambience is very relaxing, and the staff is always friendly. We always get the spinach dip and the number eight special. The amount of food you get for the money is really good and that's why we keep coming back, along with the friendly service. read more

We love Chaddar's. Always a good meal at reasonable prices. Very friendly and professional staff.

Very friendly staff, but sometimes slow to refill your drinks...that doesn't disqualify Cheddar's completely, but they could really up their game by encouraging their team to take better care of their guests. Food is comfort food driven and seems to be fairly priced. Not the best, but not hideous. It's an option for lunch or dinner if all else fails. read more

Cheddar's at N Dalemabry hwy in Tampa Florida did a number on me when I paid for a pick up order twice. The order was paid once online and when picked up it was paid again w cash with tip for a total of $44. and change. The incident was reported to management and nothing was done. Dishonesty does not pay in the end. I will never go back so who lost?? read more

Can't resist stopping by and grabbing the spinach dip with extra chips when in the area. Cheddar's is a chain restaurant that offers comfort home food but with a twist. Whether dine in or cutbside pickup, service is always pleasurable and prompt from the time my order is taken to the time food is served or delivered to the car. Each meal is served with a honey butter croissant which is finger licking good. The spinach dip, although considered an appetizer and shareable, I opted to have it for dinner which always prove to be more than filling. And enough for leftovers the next day, which is why I requested extra chips for that purpose. Another satisfied curbside dining experience. read more

I've visited numerous Cheddar locations in Florida and Texas and have loved the consistency, flavors and service that I have received. The restaurant in Lutz, FL near the Tampa Outlets has to be one of the best I have eaten at. The atmosphere is clean, modern and not too bright (sometimes there are places that have too much light and you see way too much). Our Server, Kayleigh, was pleasant, polite and helpful. She greeted us, took our order (she even tried to get us to order the croissants but we weren't that hungry!) and got our drinks right away. We didn't wait longer than 10 minutes than our food arrived. My wife ordered the sirloin steak, well done. I ordered a limited item, pork chops. We got corn, carrots, rice and mashed potatoes as our sides. They had not made any brown gravy yet so I didn't have any for my mash. No big deal as everything was delicious! We both finished it quickly. It was a good meal. I was able to pay at the table using their point-of-sale device. That was quick! There was no service charge added to my bill as well. Our total bill for two people was under $45. as I left a 20% tip. Overall , visit this Cheddar's location in Lutz, FL! You won't be disappointed. read more

A really great selections of lunches. The Philly cheesesteak was really good. They have all day drink/happy hour specials

Friendly service, fast food and EVERYTHING was good like a home cooked meal feel!!!! Our first time here and we were treated with amazing warm, sweet butter drizzled crescent rolls! They melted in our mouth and a great way to start. We started with spinach dip and finished the whole thing, we had meatloaf, fish and chips and we took a Philly sandwich home. Again EVERYTHING was great!!! read more

If it's a Friday night during the holiday season, use the app to wait in line. We only waited for less than 15 minutes even though it was extremely busy. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. The complimentary honey butter rolls are to die for. But beware! Don't fill up on those. Not seen here, but we ordered the spinach cheese dip with chips as our appetizer. Surprisingly it had a tiny kick to it. Red pepper flakes? My husband enjoyed his steak meal. The soup was good but could use a little less salt. The restaurant was decorated nicely for the holidays and is spacious enough to seat many. read more

The worst experience! We sat down and waited several minutes for silverware and were told they were washing some... and then the waitress brought the new clean ones out in her dirty apron... geee thanks! My ribeye was medium rare and I asked for medium well, my husband filet was well done and he asked for medium rare... the waitress said she would take the food back and have them remake but it would take them too long to remake... so we could wait for new steaks or eat the ones we had... uhhmmm... okkk... not a great customer service solution!! Thanks but no thanks!! I can get better customer service and get treated better at a drive thru and pay less! And use my own silverware! read more

The service is always good at Cheddars, but the food isn't what it used to be. I miss the onion rings and old chicken nachos. So much has changed since it first opened, but it hasn't improved since day one. Stop taking the best things off the menu. It's ruining your brand. read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Bourbon Salmon - American Near Me - Lutz, Florida

So our food was okay...my wife is severely allergic to shellfish and almost ordered the tenders but last minute changed to the Lemon pepper chicken (which mind you was dry and tasted just like grilled chicken) I ordered the tenders. In the tenders they mixed the fried shrimp with the tenders so she would have absolutely died here if she ordered the tenders after all. Then the food runner also forgot my granddaughters food and left it sitting at the front. Our waitress was great, she was so nice and was so quick to fix anything that went wrong (even my granddaughter spilling her water...butter fingers) The place itself was nice...but did seem like it could be cleaner in a few spots...had great lighting, nice decor, but that's about it. It was good for a meal but I wouldn't go again. They did almost kill my wife after all. read more

This is the second time I've been to Cheddar's. Both were excellent experienced. Today I had grilled salmon over rice with a baked potato and steamed carrots. Everything was cooked to perfection. The waiter was attentive and friendly. The rest of the staff was super friendly too. The restaurant was clean as could be. read more

The restaurant was quite busy tonight, so there was a small bit of a wait. It was with the wait. The croissants were hot out of the oven and very flaky. The salmon, broccoli, and baked potato was perfect. Our server was super friendly and attentive. Yum! read more

Today was a very rough day! To start with they were yet another establishment that was hit with very little wait staff. While the wait wasn't horrible it was still around 20 minutes while probably half of the tables sat empty. Once we were finally seated it took another 10 minutes to get our drinks, 10 minutes to get our chips and queso. Once the chips arrived it was no more than a handful of chips. It took almost 45 minutes to get the main part of the meal. My food was okay but neither wife or daughter like nor ate theirs. The fish was super mushy and tenders were like jerky. We got our croissants with the actual meal instead of appetizer like usual. They didn't have cheese bites, ribs, coke slaw. read more

I came here for dinner with my mom. I was really excited to try this restaurant. The restaurant is very nice inside. The host sat us right away. Our server was wonderful. She checked on us and brought us everything we needed. Complimentary crossaints with honey butter come to the table to start. These are amazing. They have them as an appetizer if you want to order more. For my meal, I got a half rack of ribs with chicken tenders with a side of Buffalo sauce. This was the best Buffalo sauce I've had. The meal comes with two sides so I got corn and French fries. The food was delicious. We were too full for dessert. I would definitely come back. Highly recommend! read more

The kids LOOOOOOVVVVVVEEEEEE Cheddar's. It's funny and cute. I do really enjoy several dishes, and who doesn't love the croissants? And their cheddar-broccoli rice- YUM! We ordered take out this last visit & we went a few weeks prior. So I can attest to in restaurant service- which was pretty spectacular & to curbside pick-up, which didn't wow me. I love their chicken pot pie- so much I consistently burn my mouth attempting to dig in before letting it cool & the chicken fried chicken is delish! Connor usually goes for the Monte Cristo, but has been known to change it up. I never know with my daughter- but she is a chicken lover. John opted for the lemon pepper grilled chicken. In restaurant- everything ran smoothly- and btw, I am addicted to their painkiller cocktail!!! Ordering online- painfully slow and I accidentally added a lemonade to my daughter's meal and couldn't figure out how to remove it. Curbside- they text you when your order is ready. NOT. They text you that your order is ready when it was supposed to be ready- but it actually wasn't ready for an additional 20 minutes. We were shopping across the street when I got the text- so we hurried over and "checked in" only to wait about 5 minutes when the manager (I think) comes out empty handed to address the 3 cars waiting for pick up. The car ahead of me and our order came out about 15 minutes later- he said the croissants weren't ready. This visit was probably a 3 star visit because of the wait. The food was just as expected- delicious. I like Cheddar's a lot, but not all locations are created equal. Future visits to this one will be dine in only ;) read more

My hubby and I decided to eat lunch after leaving the outlet mall. Rich, our server was very nice, polite, and friendly. He made sure he checked on us from time to time. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming. The food was delicious. The fish was blackened and had a nice crust around the edges. It was flaky and tasty. The green beans and carrots had some firmness, which I liked. The food is reasonably priced. I do wish they had a lunch menu and more items to select from for appetizers. We will definitely go back. read more

Food was pretty decent. The best was the fried chicken sandwich. Seasoned well, crispy, and fresh. The chicken was HUGE too. The cheese bites would have paired better with marinara. And the queso on the sampler had a film on it, seemed as though it had sat out. The artichoke dip was great though. One downside, there was an eyelash in the salad (not pictured), but the server immediately apologized and removed from our bill. read more

Great great great... never a bad day at this place. Good everything. Food is almost like home. Not my home but a better home!

The only saving grace here was the friendly staff, and the large margarita. Ordered the salmon dish at the recommendation of my waitress, when it arrived you could instantly tell the shrimp and salmon were way over cooked. Having to cut with a knife overcooked. The potato was cold by the time it arrived with the excessive amount of sour cream and ice cold shredded cheese on it, and the four lousy shrimp were a joke with how rubbery they were. Save your money and go elsewhere. read more

Really like this place! Very good comfort food with a pleasant atmosphere & great service. Tonight we shared spinach dip as an appetizer. Love the complimentary croissants with honey butter...delicious! I had the lunch portion of the Country Fried Chicken, served on a slice of Texas toast with a side of country green beans & homemade mashed potatoes. Very good! Hubs had the Buffalo chicken wrap & fries...HUGE portion! It was actually two wraps! Needless to say, we left with two to-go boxes! The only disappointment was that they no longer have the fantastic onion rings! They were the best onion rings ever! :(. Bad corporate decision as the people next to us were also complaining about the same thing. read more

I ordered some chicken tenders and when I took a bite there was a fishy taste to it. After spitting it out i noticed that pieces of shrimp were fried with it. And some of my other tenders were also fried with pieces of shrimp. Looks like they're breading chicken and shrimp in the same patch of breading which could lead to an allergy emergency. They need to be more careful in the kitchen. read more

Went out for lunch today with my significant other came in at 1:30ish sat down had a really nice waitress. We both got water and she ordered the buffalo chicken wrap and myself the monte cristo. About 45 minutes pass and our waitress never came back to even refill our drinks. Finally after an hour, we just left. Total waste of time. read more

I can't speak on the dining because i usually takeout here. So happy they put the spagnaga back on the menu. One of my favorites

My wife has the bourbon salmon and loved it. I on the other hand saw they had a 7 ounce filet that was on sale for $22. Big mistake I asked my server if it was a filet mignon and he said yes. Trust me it was not a filet mignon it was grisly and tough even though I got it medium rare. I will have the chicken pot pie if I ever go back. read more

Yes, it's a chain. Sure there could be improvements. The bar is decent. Jason has served me twice; he's very attentive. Chips, queso and salsa are above average. The pot pie is a winner. Skip the croissants. Add a painkiller. read more

we had an awful experience tonight at Cheddars. majority of our food was cold. we ordered queso fries. they came out cold. i ordered soup and it was cold. the croissants were hard and cold. I asked to speak to manager and he admitted the soup was cold and said if they replaced it would be cold as well. they offered no discount for the inconvenience. the waitress was fair but had to ask for drink refills multiple times. it also took a long time to get our food. 40.00 for cold food! very disappointing! read more
