    This is my first time eating at cheddars and I wasn't sure what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the service, and the quality of the food for the price. We were a party of six and our server couldn't have been more pleasant. She was attentive and smiling and had a wonderful demeanor. I asked for the chicken sandwich, which is not on the dinner menu, however, it is on the lunch menu. I was so excited when they obliged and said I could get the chicken sandwich. The chicken itself was moist, tender, and just overall delicious. I would return.

    The staff, from the to-go counter to the bartender, is amazing. The food is delicious. The service is quick.

    Weeknight dinner. Walked in. Greeted and got seated right away. This is just me and my preference, but the restaurant isn't too well lit. Seems dim for us. But that's my personal opinion. Plenty of parking. Restaurant was busy. Sat for a little bit, tried to look over the menu but the menu was really extensive. Our waitress came by and grabbed our drink orders. Sweet tea, water, and an adult beverage. We were also given the complementary butter croissant. I thought they were suppose to come out warm, it came out to our table almost cold. The warm honey butter was far from it. Total disappointment. The thing that we were really looking forward to the most honestly. Ordered our entrees. Fried fish, ribs, grilled shrimp. Got our sides, loaded baked potatoes, and the broccoli casserole (which was absolutely amazing!), and corn off the cob. Service throughout dinner was fine, she tried to check up on us often, but we'd have to flag her down for things we needed as it took her a while to make her way back to our table. Service could've been better, the croissant could've been warm/hot. But other than that, we finally after driving by here all the time, had the time to pop in for dinner. We may pass on this location as the one in St. Pete really set the standard high for Cheddars.

    Ok, let's start where every Cheddar's meal starts: those warm buttered croissants! Yes yes yes, they are amazing!!!! I took my teen and a friend to have lunch and I sat in another table so they could chat. After my croissant, I ordered their chicken wrap and I have to say it was a larger portion than I expected. Flavor was good and the server was super nice as well. Parking is plentiful as well. I am pretty sure I will be back!

    F Raising Canes, F Popeye's, F Chick Fit A, F Zaxby's, F Huey Magoos, F Chicken Guy, F KFC, and F any other chicken tender place. I hear by decree Cheddars Scratch Kitchen to be the King of Chicken Tenders. They also have pretty reasonable prices in comparison to some of the places that are just overcharging like crazy. They still bring out complimentary honey butter croissants which are a great start to any meal. Service is still great as well. I was thirsty and he kept up with my refills like a champ. Also, you can pay right at the table with their little TV thingy. Easy Peasy! They have a pretty good drink menu too with a Painkiller (limit 2) and other concoctions that won't break the bank. I really need to look into their happy hour too! In the immortal words of The Terminator... I'm coming back for more tenders! KOCT!

    Went on a Monday night where the restaurant was pretty empty. ordered 6oz sirlion with corn and soup, chocolate Cake sundae. The good: food had great flavors and price was reasonable, can't forget the yummy croissants The bad: meat was undercooked and service was extremely lacking. Couldn't even get a refill of water.

    Wow just wow. We came back for a second time and we had the best waiter hands down. I came in with my brother and my daughter and we have the same as always. My steak was on point juicy and tender with just a bit of spice. They came out quick and fast. Our waiter was so sweet and kind very professional and punctual. I likely to say best Sunday dinner for the night

    A good spot for a casual lunch or dinner! For anyone who likes traditional American food in a nice setting, Cheddars is the place. Their portions are big and their food is always a hit. Plus, if you sign up for their rewards, you get free Chips and Queso! I usually get the Grilled Salmon ($14.99), which is so good, but I decided to go for the 6oz Sirloin ($13.99) this time with mashed potatoes and a caeser salad. The salad had the perfect amount of dressing, and the mashed potatoes were so good with the skin included. My sister had the Half Rack of Ribs ($16.29) and they were so tender they fell off the bone. The Dijon Chicken and Mushrooms ($15.29) were also really yummy, as was the Country Fried Chicken ($13.49 or $15.79 for double the chicken). And don't even get me started on those FREE sweet buttery Honey Butter Croissants! Our server was helpful and charismatic, and overall our trip was great! Definitely give them a try.

    So, I have driven by Cheddar's a million times but never tried it. That changed yesterday after a friend advised me that they have "the best chicken tenders ever." I needed a good tender because our local Bojangles just burned down. Let me tell you, he wasn't kidding. These were straight up incredible!! They tasted so fresh and perfect I really couldn't believe it. The fries were also amazing. Honestly, I wasn't even really able to get to the slaw because the other stuff was so nice and filling. This place is really a hidden gem. The service also rocked. I unfortunately am experiencing a health issue at the moment which renders me barely able to speak...the bartender was extremely accommodating and patient with me. It was a great meal. I cannot wait to return.

    Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen is a restaurant chain that started in Irving, Texas back in 1979 and has expanded into over 170 locations across the United States. The company was started by Aubrey Good and Doug Rogers and has since been acquired by the restaurant giant, Darden Restaurants. Cheddar's Scratch Chicken offers a menu filled with American comfort food favorites and they have a decent price point. Favorites like country fried chicken or steak, chicken pot pie, fried fishand more. They also have a decent burger. The staff is friendly and this particular location is conveniently located on East Colonial Drive (State Road 50) close to Woodbury Road and is in the same shopping plaza as the Publix. All in all, I would definitely recommend this particular location of Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen and for being a chain restaurant, this is a good choice.

    Strawberry Iced Tea w/Chicken & Broccoli Penne Pasta Alfredo

    Over the weekend I had the pleasure to dine at this establishment. This wasn't my first time at this restaurant but I did try a new food item. The food I ordered was a strawberry iced tea and chicken and broccoli Alfredo. It was a great sized portion however the noodles were overcooked and the dish was under seasoned. The service was great, our waitress was very attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was very nice as well. I love the big fans they have throughout the restaurant. It was a nice time out and I will be back to try another new dish. That's all.

We thought it was a perfect meal to share between two because each person gets a piece of fried chicken and a doughnut. The chicken is extra greasy and topped with powdered sugar. It was very good but it still does not rate as highly as Publix or KFC for me. The doughnut was great. I would compare it to a fresh glazed from Krispy Kreme. Service was excellent. We were seated immediately, and greeted at our table by a friendly and efficient server. Overall, everything went well. The prices are high but this is expected due to the location. I would definitely return to try more of the menu.

I've been wondering for a while where to get some good stick to your ribs so food, so when my wife told us that Nikki's Place reached out to her to come try some authentic soul food, I had to join her. We had to make sure to get an array of different things to try as much as possible. So we ordered.. smothered pork chops, fried catfish and shrimp, lemon butter chicken wings, red rice, Collard greens, Lima beans, black eyed peas, cornbread, candied yams, mac and cheese, and some onion fries.. with some sweet tea. I want to tell you, every bite I took had me closing my eyes and smiling. My only complaint was the lima beans were a little bit salty, but when I ate it with everything else it didn't really matter. The lemon butter fried chicken wings were absolutely amazing. I have not tasted anything like that in my life. You can't go there and not get them. You need these wings. I'd also like to say that all the sides are meat-free , so vegetarians come get some . We ate till we were full, and we had enough to take home as well. We took an order of bread pudding home for dessert and that was absolutely delicious too. Overall absolutely great food. The staff took care of us very well. Highly recommended!

My son got the fruit punch mixed with lemonade. I like to get half sweet and half unsweetened tea. We commenced to ordering. I got the lemon butter wing dinner again with the side of candied yams, yellow rice, and greens. The rest of the table got fried chicken, catfish and shrimp, ribs, and bbq chicken.. We all got a side of cornbread with our meal. We devoured. We got our fingers and mouths all sauced up and messy. We feasted. Everyone loved their meal and I felt like a hero for suggesting this fine, homey establishment. We decided that we couldn't fit dessert but greediness prevailed and we got desserts to go. Red velvet cake, peach cobbler, banana pudding, and lemon pound cake. The bread pudding is one of my faves. The banana pudding was nothing to write home about. Could have used some fresh bananas cut up in there. Last but not least, I have to mention our beautiful server, Audrey. She handled our table with a winning combination of love and skill. She has a lovely smiling face and her warmth shone through and made our dining experience that much better. I'll be back and will continue to introduce folks to this tiny treasure of a place.

Southern comfort food as a general rule just doesn't sit well with me anymore and I'm going to be very transparent and bare my soul a little bit here but here goes . . . Ever since being on GLP1's, I've developed a really complicated relationship with comfort food. Foods that are rich, buttery, creamy or fatty now hit me completely differently than they used to. It's almost like my body immediately goes into shutdown mode afterwards. I feel heavy, exhausted and like I've instantly ballooned even if the portions themselves aren't massive. For the longest time I honestly thought it was simply the richness of the food itself but now I realize it's because my digestion just can't process heavier comfort foods the same way anymore. Suddenly... it all makes sense. The food itself here is VERY good. Properly seasoned, well prepared, beautifully presented... absolutely no complaints there whatsoever. I simply have to become more mindful and strategic now with my menu selections no matter WHERE I dine. I chose the Creekstone Farm's NY Strip with the fabulous bone marrow which I KNOW is supposed to be incredibly nutrient rich and good for you... but honestly... it just about put me under afterwards. This dinner happened thanks to Ronnald M. and his sister Teris and it was our pre-opera dinner outing before seeing the fabulous Merry Widow at the Dr. Phillips Center. The Monroe is honestly a very good pre-concert restaurant choice because of both the atmosphere and location... I'm just personally learning that this new GLP1 reality means I can't approach menus the way I used to anymore.

Let's focus on the positives first: the atmosphere is incredibly fun and the live music Saturday night was a perfect touch at the bar. There were plenty of fun activities for the kids and there was an all-you-can-eat buffet for the kids with fried chicken and shrimp, macaroni and cheese, fries, and red velvet cupcakes. $25 is a deal if your child would chow down on shrimp, but it might not be a great deal if your child is usually full after four bites. Our server was absolutely fantastic, friendly and very attentive. We started off the dinner with some fantastic deviled eggs and a lemon cello cocktail. I ordered the shrimp and grits and was really disappointed with the tiny, overcooked shrimp and crawfish that accompanied the slightly bland grits. The shrimp on the kids buffet was at least four times larger than the sad little shrimp in my dish. I think the sausage was cut into smaller chunks just so it wouldn't be so obvious how small the shrimp was. My husband didn't love his heirloom tomato salad and said the Wagyu appetizer was disgusting. Dessert was mediocre. The macarons that accompanied my crème brûlée were stale and chewy. This is a fun spot for a drink and appetizer, but I would skip eating dinner at Highball & Harvest.
