Food is delicious, great value. Portions are perfect, not too large nor small. Conveniently located

Amazing service and food, they have good prices and the customer service is always very personable and positive!!

I was on the hunt for comfort food especially fried chicken and the only local comfort food restaurant near me was cheddars. Well to my surprise they didn't have fried chicken but the menu was definitely all comfort food! They gave us the honey butter croissants... OMG, delicious! I ordered the chicken pot pie, the hubby got country-fried chicken and the food did not disappoint. We ate everything!! Lol..We will be back for sure. Oh, by the way, everyone working there was friendly and professional. read more

The hostess was so upbeat and made us feel welcome from the start. Inside is modern and spacious. Our server was helpful especially since this was our first time and attentive. We got the pineapple coconut mule and the island tiki. Both drinks were tasty with a generous pour. The cheese bites just melt in your mouth. The complimentary honey biscuits are tasty. The New Orleans pasta was well seasoned and surprisingly had a good amount of meat. My sister got the regular shrimp Alfredo and wanted the Cajun Alfredo sauce but the explanation the server gave of why that couldn't be done didn't make sense. We got the skillet cookie for dessert and i think I expected it to be better than what it turned out to be. The cookie was too thin and it wasn't hot, the cold ice cream made it just a lukewarm dessert. The pastas also were not hot so not sure what was going on with the food temperature . This was a super affordable and delicious meal read more

This Cheddars is located off of Pines Blvd west of I75. It is similar other Cheddars. The interior looks like an Olive Garden. When you walk in, the hostess station is super close to the door, that there is not a lot of room if there is a line. The entrance is actually quite uncomfortable. The hostess was very sweet, but she had to type a lot info into the computer for each party, which slowed the checking in process down, creating a larger uncomfortable line and waiting area. The food is "ok" and nothing to rave about. I think the best item is their buttery sweet crossaints, which are complimentary. My chicken tenders were tough, and while the batter was crispy, the inside chicken was wet and slimey (not juicy). One of my tenders didn't even have chicken in it, just crispy crust. It was a never again for me. The portion sizes are beyond huge, and the wrap had 4 large pieces. Service was good. The tables have the Olive Garden tablets to pay the bill and alert your server if you need something. read more

This place was exactly what I expected it to be. It's a pretty new Plaza and it's a very modern building, it's clean inside, and we were sad, pretty much instantly, as a table of four in the loung area on a Saturday. Their sweet rolls with the condensed milk (i think that's what it was) dripped over it were absolutely delicious. I was there, mostly as a guest who was not really going to eat dinner, but I munch on our appetizer, a delicious, spinach, artichoke dip, and tried a few bites of my family's plate. The artichoke dip came with a big dollop of sour cream in the middle, which kind of felt like a space filler to have to put less dip, so maybe request it without that. The server was sweet, even though she made a mistake with getting our order correct, and I'm sure it was a busy day for her. The Price is right on par with what you were expecting, and receiving, and overall it was still a good place to eat. read more

Always running out of dishes even when it is not close to closing. Also always forgetting to bring items, we had to tell them 3 times to bring three seperate items such as honey mustard, lemon for the water, and bacon bits for the baked potato. Disorganised and not consistent. Only thing they are consistent in is making us disappointed. read more

food was not hitting was so mad drive all the way there not worth it services was great tho. food need to be better

The only reason I'm leaving a review is in hopes that they get feedback and improve. My experience tonight was disastrous. I had the fish and shrimp. Ever came out cold except the fish. Had to ask for the sauces and the second side. The Fried were cold. When they brought new ones they were slightly warmer. The desert took like 20 minutes to come out. The fries were dark brown as if cooked in old oil. The waitress took a long time in coming to the table. Someone else brought the food out and it was cold. The cheesecake was frozen. How can a place manage to get everything wrong? Well not everything. The waitress and the manager were really nice. The crossaint was nice and fresh though. I hope this location improves. read more

Our waiter, Yury P., provided excellent service. The croissants served as starters were absolutely delicious! My husband enjoyed the ribs with a baked potato and fries, while I had the baked salmon with mashed potatoes and corn. The servings were plentiful -- we even had leftovers to take home. read more

Alright, so I was very hesitant to dine here because of all the bad reviews, but I went anyway. I will start by saying that the only reason this place gets 4 and not 5 stars is because the restaurant is a little dark and definitely needs some brightening up. Imagine the food you get at an American style buffet but without the buffet. That kind of food you want to eat because you haven't had it in so long. When was the last time you had a chicken pot pie? Exactly. That's what this place is. Everything we ordered (see pics) was great, nothing was bad and the service was just fine. The chicken tenders, baked potato soup and coconut shrimp were my favorites. I hear the steaks are good but we didn't try it. I highly recommend this place at least once. read more

Extremely affordable scratch kitchen. You can definitely taste that this food is made with heart and soul. You get a complimentary glazed croissant to start. They have a bar with great cocktails as well. Great spot for kids and families. read more

Say Cheddars (cheeese) :D this is the first time I've been since they opened in Pembroke Pines. They recently closed their commercial location so I'm glad they didn't entirely go out of business. Already I've seen a big plus with this location. They start you off with complimentary honey butter croissants! I mean is it me? Or does everything taste better when it's free? Cuz those croissants be bussinnnn To start off we started off with a trio sampler. Came with tenders and chips with salsa, spinach dip and queso for 11.99. I feel if you don't mind not getting fries this is more for your money than getting chicken tenders w fries. I also went with the usual . Sirloin 8 oz steak and make no mis-steak but it was cooked to perfection. Got two sides which was broccoli and fries. Service was not bad just didn't get one thing we asked for. Server didn't write down the order and had to keep coming back and asking us what we ordered again. Effort appreciated, just wish he'd make it easier on himself. read more

Friday night, Family dinner. 3 kids, 4 adults. 6:30 pm and no wait, what's not to like! Kids ordered grilled cheese & French fries. They devoured the sandwiches and there were too many fries to finish. Bar drinks were well made & much appreciated. Meatloaf was good with lots of gravy. My filet was a little tough but the baked potato and Cole slaw were spot on. Large salad with chicken was fresh and too big to finish. We shared their version of chocolate cake with ice cream and that too disappeared. This is a good family friendly restaurant with lots of options for everyone. read more

It's the Cheddar for me! This spot offers a very cool, relaxed and chill vibe. It's great for family dinners, drinks and date night. The food is amazing and the drinks are good. For the well no pink steaks I would recommend checking before eating. My sister steak was still pink. They took the steak back and recooked the same steak. We requested a whole new steak. We were told the policy is to recook the steak unless a new steak is requested. There is a tablet on the table to order appetizers, drinks, desserts and play games. You just can't order your entree from the tablet. Which is a great way for you to get started while you wait. The game is $1.99. I went on a Friday night. At 8 it starts to fill up. Im glad I just got there before the wait time. We had a great server. She was nice, gave good advice and very helpful. Their is plenty street parking available due to it having its on parking lot. I would have given 5 stars if it wasn't for the steak issue. I will return and maybe they can redeem the 5 stars then. read more

Decided to give this restaurant a try since it recently just opened up around in this area and although the reviews are mixed - I figured we give it a try. Complementary Croissants- 8/10 super buttery, flaky and warm. Strawberry Lemonade- 0/10 eww super tart! Definitely was not drinkable! Wisconsin Cheese Curds- 5/10 greasy Cheese Fries- 1/10 The waitress forgot about these and when she brought them they were burnt crispy- terrible Coconut Fried Shrimp- 5/10 the dipping sauce was good but the shrimp were drenched in grease Chicken Alfredo- 6/10 not the best but definitely not the worst 6oz Sirlion w/ carrots and broccoli - 6/10 Steak was cooked well and tasted good. The veggies were okay. Chicken Tenders & Fries- 0/10 My daughter took 1 bite and didn't want this dish. It was beyond greasy and gross. Sirloin Steak & Ribs combo- 4/10 My husbands steak was over cooked, the ribs were drenched in BBQ sauce & the baked potato was extremely dry lacking flavor and toppings ( it was suppose to be fully loaded) The waitress was nice - but the service was terrible! She forgot several things and didn't even ask if we were done before slapping the bill on the table. Will I be back? Probably not! definitely not worth coming back again. read more

My evening here started off great but sad to say as the hours went by it was going down hill. My wait time to get seated was good, the hostess told me it will be 5 mins. She asked me if I was ok with half a booth, which I made a face to, but I said it was fine. To my surprise she did accommodate and gave me a full booth and I was extremely grateful. As we were seated, the waiter brought some croissants, when I saw them I thought they were sugar glazed croissants, but don't be fooled, it was honey butter and they were amazing. I ordered the cheese bites, half rack of ribs with fries and a Caesar salad. The cheese bite were very good especially with the dipping sauce which I later used for my fries. The Caesar salad was pretty good as well, however it was heavy on dressing. The ribs were good too but, it contained a heavy load of fat. This can be expected but it was too overwhelming for me to finish eating. Later that evening, I ordered the hot fudge sundae. This is where things were spiraling downhill. I want to say I think I waited for about an hour for my dessert. The Heat game was on that night. The waiter told us that kitchen was backed up and was very apologetic. When we got the sundae it was not what we call a hot fudge sundae cause the cake/ fudge was not hot/ warm. I honestly think they forgot about us cause of the game. I got the box to pack my left over cake, but I still had to wait for the waiter to come to provide me the check, which took awhile. When I finally see him attending everyone else with boxes and the check. It was difficult to make eye contact and when I was finally was able to make eye contact, it was when the heat game was pretty much over, they were losing and I can finally pay and leave. The restaurant remind me more of a Flanagans just fancier looking. They served pretty much the same food, but may be a few notches better. Would I come back probably not. Not so much because of the service it's just I am not crazy about the type of food they serve. I do feel like the service would have been better, if the Heat were not playing. read more

I hate to say this because I like cheddar's food and service, but I call them like I see them fair and honest. We arrived at 2pm and with many tables vacant had to wait 30 minutes to be seated. I get that many places have staffing issues, but making a person wait on a bench is worse than making them wait at a table with a beverage. Sit them and tell them your understaffed, get them a soda or coffee and make them feel important for waiting, restaurant 101 having owned a restaurant 32 years ago, make the best of the situation so people don't feel I wanted. There was nine tables vacant in the main dining area. The food came and it was great no complaints there. But a small crowd and the service wheels started to come off. read more

There was no line when we got there. We had a big party and was sat down pretty quickly. Everything looked clean and the lights were nice and dim. Our waiter was really sweet. I ordered a margarita and it came with a shot on the side. My drink was tasty and huge. Unfortunately it wasn't too strong. I ordered a chicken pot pie and it was delicious. The crust on top was so crispy and flaky. The filling was really flavorful and creamy and filled with chunks of chicken. read more

It was a three hour wait when they first opened. Now I can pretty much stop by when I want without waiting. Maybe it's because Pembroke Pines is the restaurant capital of Broward and there is something new opening up every week. I like their chicken tenders and Mac n cheese. Their veggies are okay but I prefer fresh over frozen. The inside is nice kind of like an Applebees but it's not fancy, that's for sure. Photos to follow. read more

Came here with some friends and was pleasantly surprised. This must be the only restaurant left that has great food for great prices. Our server was very patient and attentive throughout our time there. He gave us their iconic honey butter croissants to start and we ordered our meals. I got the creamy garlic tilapia and shrimp with a baked potato and carrots. My boyfriend got the homemade chicken pot pie. Both meals were really good and came out hot. I enjoyed the restaurant ambiance as it was modern and clean. I just wish I lived closer to this location so I could come here more often! read more

I'm not sure how I feel about this place. We have tried to dine in 3x (@ different times of the way and day) and are always told that it's an 1hr wait. The place is mostly empty, but they are extremely short staffed. So we always do take out. The food itself is pretty good - fairly priced, made from scratch and American fare. Their bread is sweet soft pillowy croissants which are my favorite. The first time we ordered takeout they offered us an entire box of bread. The second time they just gave us 1 per entree and said "if we were to dine in they can give us more". Ok buf it's basically been impossible to dine in though. I did order some alcoholic beverages to go and it hurt to see the drink just melting away into nothingness while the rest of our order was being prepared. read more

The service super nice and knowledgeable. The was fresh and delicious. I enjoyed lively environment. The croissant came out hot and yummy.

I enjoyed everything about our visit to Cheddar's on this lovely Sunday afternoon! We sat at the bar to avoid the 10-minute wait for a table.. Best decision ever because the bartender was very nice! The ambiance was enjoyable, nice and quiet. I ordered the Strawberry Texas Swirl Margarita. It wasn't very strong, but it was really good! Honey butter croissants were delicious. I think the vegetable plate option is the best deal on the menu. And you can never go wrong with chicken tenders & shrimp! Overall, I recommend Cheddar's for any occasion. read more

When I saw that this restaurant opened right up the street from my house recently, I had to give it a try. I have gone a total of three times and tried a different dish each time. You're probably wondering why I only gave it three stars if I've gone back three times, right? To me three stars is still very good just not exceptional in my opinion. The restaurant is brand new so it is very updated and really nice aesthetically. My favorite area is the bar area. They are located on the corner of Pines Boulevard and Dykes in West Pembroke Pines Florida. The service was good, staff is friendly and the food is good. The reason I gave it three out of five stars is because although it's good it's not great. I definitely recommend going to check it out for yourself because everyone taste is different. I have tried the pot pie, the ribs, and the chicken tenders. The pot pie was good but I've had better at several other places. The ribs were pretty good. The chicken tenders were pretty good as well and probably my favorite of the three. I've also tried the following sides; coleslaw, red beans and rice, mac & cheese, mashed potatoes, and side salad. The side salad & coleslaw were my favorites. I would not recommend the red beans and rice because although it tasted okay, you only get 99% beans with a couple specs of rice. It was a little disappointing, especially because the waitress said it's a house favorite. Anyway, this place is worth checking out. I've gone enough times to know that I probably won't be going back but it may be someone else's favorite restaurant so give it a try. Bonus: They give you honey butter croissants as soon as you sit down and they are very tasty. read more

5 stars for the excellent service. Food was food and my dad throughly enjoyed his time here. We were seated right away no wait time which is always a plus. Definitely recommend the poor pie. The pain killer wasn't strong enough but I asked them if they could make it stronger and they did without a problem. The food was good but our service is better. I wish I remember our waitress name but we will definitely be back. read more

I really enjoyed the food and service here. We went to celebrate my late uncle's birthday. Our server Kenika was currently training someone and both of them were super nice and helpful. The restaurant wasn't pack but the environment was family friendly. I ordered the buffalo wrap and it was decent but the ribs my sister ordered were so flavorful and fall off the bone tender. The steak my wife ordered had a bit much pepper but it was still tender and juicy. I would recommend if you come here get the ribs and try their Mai Tai drink. It was soooo good. I will definitely return. read more

My family and I were quickly seated and attended by the waitress with some buttery croissants. They were crispy and very delicious. The restaurant was a little too dark for my taste but was able to read the menu. They had different tvs playing sports channels and other things. After checking out the menu as an appetizer we got the trio sampler which came with a spinach dip, salsa, queso and chicken tenders. Everything was fresh and great tasting. For the main, we enjoyed the salmon which came with two sides and the grilled chicken pecan salad. The reason why I gave it a 3 stars is because the ribs we ordered came cold to the table and that is a big no for me. It made me think that this was just microwaved food that wasn't properly heated up. So this was a huge red flag which made me reconsider coming here. read more

Located in a brand new shopping plaza in Pembroke Pines was a new restaurant called cheddars. I heard mixed reviews about it as it has locations in various other places around the state so I went to give it a try. Walking inside, there is a huge fish tank that really adds a nice ambiance to the interior. For an appetizer we had cheese curds and they were great! They came in a delicious sauce that really complemented them well. They also serve buttered croissants to the table that tasted great! They were warm and really added to the experience. However, that is where the experience starts to go downhill. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger as a baseline because I know what a good burger is. You can judge a restaurant based on how they serve a burger. Unfortunately for Cheddars, that means the restaurant is not good at all. I ordered the burger medium well as a precaution due to not knowing how the restaurant operates. It had no flavor once so ever. Even the cheese had no flavor. I did not enjoy the burger. The fries were also way too salty and didn't complement the lackluster taste of the burger. It was a huge disappointment. We went for lunch rush and there wasn't a lunch crowd. We were the only ones inside so I think that speaks a lot to how the food is. I hope this was a one off experience because I really wanted to like it. Maybe in a few months when they get settled in will be the best time to give it another chance to work out the kinks? I am not really sure. read more

I had a pretty nice time at Cheddar's. The service was great and the prices are all very fair compared to most restaurants right now. The honey butter croissants are free and delicious. We had the spinach artichoke dip as an appetizer, also very good. I had the tenders tossed in hot honey, but my tenders came out kind of cold and had way too much sauce. My boyfriend had the ribs which were super tender. I would come back because of the service and prices, will probably skip the chicken tenders though read more

The overall experience was much better than before due to our server Alyssa. We love Fried Cheese Curds and Cheddars does them right. The Ranch Dressing is a perfect companion. Max and I shared the Ribeye with Mashed All The Way Potatoes and Broccoli. Stay away from the steak if you consider yourself an expert. However, if you are an alcoholic drink expert, get the Painkiller. It is the best! They only allow you 2 and I can see why! read more

Enjoyed my first time at Cheddar's. I loved the warm complimentary croissants when we got there. So flaky and the perfect sweet on top. We also had the salsa and queso. Both were yummy. I ordered the Maui Margarita and it was great! Very sweet but that's how I like my drinks. I also was impressed with the cocktail prices. I also tried the chicken tender and fried shrimp platter which was yummy but not amazing. Our table got the cookie dessert but it wasn't great. The cookie was dry and kinda hard. read more
