    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Food is always good here for the most part. No complaints. Love taking friends. And family when they visit.

    Bar at Cheddars in Lutz

    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.

    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!!!

    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.

    If you're in Wesley Chapel and haven't been to Ford's Garage, you're missing out!…read more This place is an awesome themed restaurant and bar with so much attention to detail in the design. From the vintage Ford décor to the industrial garage vibe, you really feel like you're dining inside a classic auto shop--in the best way possible. Every corner of the restaurant has something cool to look at. The service was very attentive and friendly. Our server made sure we had everything we needed and checked in at just the right times without being overbearing. The food was great! Everyone at our table enjoyed their meal, and the portions were generous. Between the burgers, drinks, and overall atmosphere, it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Definitely coming back here again. Highly recommend for a fun night out with family or friends!

Blackened salmon with jalapeño creamed corn, tater tots and an extra side of mashed potatoes with gravy. 2. For an egg allergy, the burger bowl with bacon, cheese, pickles, greens and a side of fries. Our sever came by and told us the jalapeño creamed corn was not available and offered us different vegetables. We figured we had enough sides coming so we chose just to stick with the rest of the order The food came out fast, but the fries clever came out. Notes on the salmon: slightly overcooked but fresh. Notes on the tater tots: delicious! Order bbq sauce to dip them in you won't be disappointed. Notes on the mashed potatoes: bland, and tastes like tap water Notes on the burger: perfectly executed. No bacon in the salad. Small amounts of flavorless cheese. Fresh greens. When we were mostly done with our meal our server came by with my drink refill and asked if we ever got the fries. I declined as we were nearly done. She immediately took them off the bill. Also when it was time for the check she asked if everything was ok and we were honest and told her what we thought. She apologized. We left a reasonable tip for the good service. So all in all, I'd say a 3 star experience.

    Why Five Stars? Classic Diner Vibes With a Fun Twist…read more Happy Hangar Café is one of those low-key gems that makes you feel like you're part of a little community the moment you walk in. It's tucked right at the private airport in Lutz/Wesley Chapel, so while you're having breakfast you've got small planes taxiing in and out just a few yards away. It's surprisingly fun, especially if you have kids who love anything with wings. The food is exactly what you expect from a solid diner, good portions, straightforward breakfast plates, and simple, traditional coffee. Nothing fancy at all, but honestly, that's the charm. It's the kind of place where the biscuits, bacon, and eggs just hit on a Saturday morning. Oh and pumpkin pancakes? Oh yah those were fluffy and delicious. What makes it even better is the crowd. We've bumped into a retired NFL player one visit and a basketball family another. You never know who's going to be sitting at the next table, but everyone is relaxed and friendly. If you want a no-frills breakfast with a cool aviation backdrop, Happy Hangar is an easy "yes."

Parking lot is relatively large and easy to find at the end of the cul de sac. Walking up, they have some signs pointing out the entrance, which is literally next to airplane hangers. There is plenty of seating inside with large windows facing the runway, where you can see various small craft taking off and landing. There seemed to be regulars mixed in with the multitude of other customers. Service was good and the food was kind of old school. Simple recipes that a working man or woman would enjoy before heading out to work. I ended up with the country fried steak, which includes two eggs your way, breakfast potatoes, and toast. The country fried steak reminded me of old school cooking from the 70s and 80s and definitely brought back some memories. It was entertaining watching the young kid at the table next to us really enjoy his time watching the planes land and take off. Wife was pretty mesmerized with it too...lol. All in, I really enjoyed the experience and food would go back. Maybe next time, I'll go for lunch to try out a burger or sandwich.

The first Rice N Beans location was in a modest location and then it became a big restaurant in Wesley Chapel. Now they have this new location which is closer to their first location. They serve rotisserie chicken here and other dishes depending on the day of the week. This is a Puerto Rican restaurant. They do not have mofongo. You can find that at their restaurant. Here, I would definitely say to choose their chicken. It was so good and flavorful. We ordered the full chicken and it included two sides which we chose arroz con gandules and Maduros (rice and sweet plantains). The chicken was our fave for sure and we would definitely get it again. The service was very friendly. I came late on Wednesday night. They close at 7 and it was about 6:45. I picked up a menu and came back the next day. Glad I stopped by and tried the chicken. It was great. There are many chicken places opening up around us, but it's fried chicken. This is roasted chicken. I love Puerto Rican rice arroz con gandules, but I'd ask if it's newly made. I didn't think this rice we had was as fresh and it didn't have much flavor. I would try the rice again if I saw they just made it! This area is becoming a Latin crawl for food. Go to Kinka's for breakfast or dessert, Cosita Rica's for empanadas or soups, and Rice N Beans Express for chicken!
