Let me start by stating we always go when we plan something with our family. The reason why we love coming here is due to everyone being so professional, and welcoming when being seated. Also, this place is really good there food is always oof point I have never had an issue with them, and if I do they will provide another meal to replace it. Also, I want to be clear the main reason why I love coming here is because of Andrew the manager he is always there with a huge smile, and treating us like family when going there. Thank you Andrew you deserve a prize for all the hold work you always provide. read more

I'm here for a late lunch today and I find this quite a Hard Review to write. Upon entrance I was greeted immediately by a very friendly Hostess that seated me in the bar area. Initially this wouldn't bring any things to my attention but after I was seated a couple was seated and they said they were sitting them there for a nice romantic Time by themselves in the bar section. This kind of leads me to believe,the bar area is for cast offs. They don't know me well enough to know that I prefer to eat at the bar or in the bar but they made that assumption without knowing anything about me which I think is wrong. My waiter was very attentive and also I had a Yelp Medallion on my purse so he knew that I was participating in Yelp. Food came out almost too fast, it was less than 5 minutes to get a steak and cheese Philly with french fries. Well okay let's start at the top the bun was fried like it said and had a nice crust on it, but it was small, not like a hoagie. The meat was minimal & not tough, but way under seasoned and did not have the onions and green peppers that were promised. The mushrooms, yes there were a few of them that were obvious. On the sandwich, I found green peppers after digging through the other half, I found 3 small diced pieces. The cheese wasn't all the way melted, but was entiful. For any of you that know me I love Philly cheesesteaks and I'm looking for a new Philly spot, as my fave closed. I didn't taste onions, I didn't see the onions and this obviously is not my new Philly cheese steak place. I also prefer for all of my cheese be melted into sandwich and not stuck to the side of the bun in a slab .. gross. The french fries were really quite good and cooked perfectly. No complaints with french fries whatsoever. My other question was there in a beautiful, large bar area, yet they have no happy or specials on cocktails. Here is this beautiful, big bar, being used for single & a few couples. I discussed this with my waiter, and he said that they were just waiting to see what happened you know once they got moved into the neighborhood and they would go from there. I understand that, but on the menu there were no prices for any of the drinks. I got a $10 Margarita that was supposedly some kind of special drink and didn't even taste the alcohol or feel it. Whether that was me or the restaurant I can't say for sure. There was way too much ice & the Margarita was good, but had too much salt. My rim had no salt, as I had ordered it, this was from the actual coctail. The interior is very outstanding and inviting. My service was great. The assistant manager came and saw me because I was new and I was taking pictures. It sure didn't do any good getting a lousy drink & sandwich & not even an apology. I don't know I think the food is, fairly good. The sandwich I got was lacking in what it said it was supposed to have and it was also lacking in the basics of salt and pepper. The bun was toasted and the cheese was somewhat melted but, no it was not a great Philly cheesesteak. To me it appears they are going for family &/or senior business. The food prices are very fair, not sure of quanity. What's a girl to do? You trying to Blaze, & try new places, but, Return? Doubtful. read more

Consistent with other Cheddar's locations, this location has good, home style meals at a great bLue. There were 5 of us and we sat in the big booth in the bar area for lunch. Service was attentive. We did the sampler appetizer ... yummm ... potato skins! I had the Chicken Dijon with button mushrooms and a side of broccoli cheddar casserole. It's my fave dish here Nd, as always, they didn't disappoint! read more

If I can leave Zero Stars I would. Horrible service the order was wrong right from the beginning. Manager was dealing with a large group and their order was wrong. So we suffered as I never got a refill. 40 mins later our dinner came and it was wrong. Yeah I'm not coming back so sad cuz I enjoyed the Cheddar's in St. Pete. So disappointed read more

I was so excited to see that Cheddar's was coming to Carrollwoood. Brian use to work there when we first moved to Florida and I fell in love with so many items on their menu. The chicken torilla soup is the best I have had, honestly. And when they say everything is homemade, they do mean it. I will say this one is very much different than the Largo location, more modern and trendy. And since this is a Scratch Kitchen vs the Casual Cafe that Largo is, I noticed a few items missing from the menu. Luckily, my soup is still on it! The plate sizes are huge compared to the prices and since everything is homemade, it is very good. Glad I am only a mile away now, though it might not be good for my wallet. read more

We've eaten at many of the Ceddar's around the country. So when we saw this location on the way to the Tampa Airport when had to stop for lunch on our way home .It was Valentine's Day so we expected a long wait and we were delighted that it was only 25 mins. The meals we had were delicious. I had the Fried Shrimp, fries and slaw. There were 12 shrimp, lightly breaded, tender and delicious. My wife got the Chicken Pot Pie. It was served piping hot and was delicious. Our daughter ordered the Fried Chicken and Shrimp with a side of Red Beans and Rice and a salad. The food was all served hot, fresh and delicious. The server was very good and very personable. The location is brand new and just opened last week. We will definitely go back. read more

I'm giving a 3 star because my mom liked her salad and the small steak for my daughter was reasonably priced. I had their "well known recommended item" the Buffalo chicken wrap. I really didn't like it. There was so much cheese not melted it was just not a good taste at all. I'm so co fused as to how it's a highlighted menu item. This is def a lunch spot I would be disappointed for dinner unless the menu was different. I'd be open to try a burger but it really is just another type of apple bees or Chili's. I would actually prefer Chili's instead of cheddars. Staff is nice read more

This restaurant is overpriced and menu is limited. Food is alright and nothing to brag about, I would not suggest anyone to eat there...

Cheddar's is a solid spot to go to if you're looking for a decent restaurant with large portion sizes. They pretty much serve Southern Comfort Food and they do it well. I got the Cornmeal Fried Fish with Fries and Cheesy Broccoli Casserole to go. I'm happy to say that even their take out has a good portion size. The fried fish comes with 5 large pieces of nicely battered fish that is golden brown and crispy on the exterior. The crunchy crust is just right in that it provides great texture but is not so heavily battered that you have more crust than fish. They have a good ratio of crust to fish. The fish itself is nice and moist and is complemented by the tarter sauce that they give you. They give you a nice portion of fries and a good hearty scoop of Cheesy Broccoli Casserole. The casserole has a nice breadcrumb crust while the inside stays soft and cheesy, just the way you like it. Finally, I'm glad even with the take out order, they give you a free side of their delicious honey butter croissants! Delicious! Will definitely be back for take out again in the future!! :) read more

Stopped in at the Cheddars on Park Street in St. Pete at 4 pm for a late lunch. The place was empty with the exception of two or three tables of diners. The hostess told us it would be a 10-15 minute wait. I looked at her in shock. Why do we have to wait if the place is empty? She said they were in the middle of shift change and we would have to wait. I told her that no, we're not waiting and we left. Went down the street to Chili's and had a great meal. This is either a problem with management or staffing. I know of no other restaurants that make you wait because of shift changes. They usually have overlap between shifts so that guests are not inconvenienced. Needless to say, not going back to Cheddars. There are too many other choices where I don't have to be inconvenienced by mismanagement. read more

We came in from a different state before 10 pm and asked the lady in the front what time she closed, she said in 20 minutes even though online it said at 11pm. Absolutely garbage service by the lady at the front who showed herself to be a lazy server who did not want to serve any other parties to get out early. read more

This is our second time coming and we've always had a great experience. We were immediately seated when we arrived. Our waitress was Brittany. VERY friendly and personable. So knowledgeable with the menu and recommended us some tasty drinks! The food and drinks came out at the same time and it was hot and fresh. Out of all of the Cheddars in the Tampa Bay Area this is my fav one. Just because it's more authentic than the other ones. The prices are so reasonable too! read more

As soon as we walked I the hostice wasnt pleasant and we were shown to our table. We waited for our waitress to take our drink order and she was on her phone the entire time. We had not even seen her we were told the manager was busy and couldn't come to take to us. If possible I would give tis place 0 stars that waitress needs to be fired because there is not a need for a waitress to be on her phone during her sift wen there are customers present in your section. The manager wouldn't even come to us because she was supposedly busy which isn't true. read more

The hubs and I came here for lunch today for my first time checking them out. It was around 12pm on a Saturday we were seated immediately. The staff and our waitress Julie were great! They were very polite and attentive. Julie made great suggestions until she suggested some sort of chocolatey goodness for dessert after I was stuffed. Just kidding. We got the queso dip to start. I had strawberry lemonade the hubs raspberry tea both were great. The we both got the fried chicken and gravy with mashed potatoes and broccoli. The food was so good! The chicken tasted very fresh. We both were very happy with our selection. The dinner portion was a lot so I brought home leftovers. All this for less than $40 bucks was a steal! I will definitely be returning I had my eye on their salmon. read more

We ordered the Monte Cristo sandwich & country fried steak. Was pretty good. First time I had that type of sandwich. However, I don't eat ham & they said they couldn't make it without it, so that tells me it's already pre-made. Not scratch kitchen fresh like they claim. I ended up picking the ham out. But the best things were their sides; the broccoli cheddar casserole especially. We also ordered an appetizer of onion rings & that was probably the best thing. Would come back just for the appetizers! I wouldn't get their Mac & cheese again though. Surprisingly not very good. Oh & our server gave us each 2 little cookies each because it was our first visit, which was nice. read more

Our waitress September was one of the friendliest servers I've interacted with in a long time. The food was good and the service was great.

Cheddar's- ah what more can I say. It's good wholesome food at a decent price and it is made from scratch - hopefully no scratching involved by the chef ( it is a clean restaurant). I would heartily recommend any of their shrimp dishes or my favorite, the buffalo chicken wrap. The sauce on the wrap is done perfectly, not too vinegary but just enough nip. One of the best things about Cheddars is that it is both quality and quantity. There is just about something for everyone on the menu and it is all quality made. read more

My Wife and I love coming to the Wesley Chapel Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen. Rashad and Amy gave us great service to date. Thank you both for being such a great customer representative of the company. Humbly from DJ Dondy and Debbie Owners of Telco, LLC read more

hostess was incredibly rude. we got there about an hour before closing and when we walked in she rolled her eyes and checked her watch, and told us they were closing in 30 minutes (website said 11pm was closing). i've worked a hostess job before and it was policy that we seat any group even if it's 5 minutes before closing. did not like her attitude or her tone. we got better and much nicer service from the nearby 24hr iHop. take your money elsewhere :) read more

Mediocre food. Blackened Redfish came on a cold roll with little seasoning. Fries on the plate were cold and almost non existent with a bunch of broken ends. ( picture below) When this was pointed out to the server the waitress stated "they probably ran out!!" You would think the kitchen would take a little more pride in what they served. My wife's salad comes out with no dressing This was all pointed out to the manager who's only response was to apologize. No offer to replace the sandwich or offer to comp our drinks...nothing First time and last time at Chedders read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Mediocre prepared food. Blackened Redfish came on a cold roll, little blackened seasoning .Side of fries was non existent! Last time here - Southern Near Me - Tampa, Florida

My second visit at this location. Our host was new and a little nervous but he did a good job. I had the grilled white fish-wanted it blackened but nonetheless was ok. Always on point are the cheese bites. A little too much eggs in the house salad but again ok. I liked the coleslaw and I can be a snob when it comes to coleslaw. All in all a good dining experience. Love the butter rolls with the honey butter. Not a fan of the rice.. chunks of onion diminished the side. House made ranch dressing was missing something. I would go back, just not anytime soon. Much luck to the new host. I think he will do great. He has a great customer service approach! read more

They do not have their To Go system working well. Hubby called in the order at 5:59, paid and tipped. I arrived to pick it up at 6: 19. Sign at end of parking place said, "Call this number to let us know you're here." I did. At 6:32, I went in. No one was at the Take Out desk. After waiting several minutes, a man came out and asked me my parking space number. I gave him my name, but he was aggravated that I didn't recall my number. I said I called from my car from that spot when I arrived like the sign instructed. No one asked my parking spot number. Finally got my food at 6:39. No apology. Luke warm. My chicken strips looked like they would be great but we're extremely bland. I won't go back. Too many other options that have their act together. I also told Hubby never to add the tip online. read more

This is a new restaurant and they are running it tightly! Went here after they were open for a day and I was impressed. The staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean. The servers were friendly and knowledgeable about the food selections and that is a good thing. The lighting is bright and the space between each table was sufficient. However my food order was not exactly what I ordered. I asked for the shrimp platter and although the shrimp were food the baked potato was not. I asked for no sour cream and it can with it. When I asked for my server it took her forever to come out. She didn't do another asked what I needed. He took the potato back to being me another one. Well that was fine except that potato took longer and I had eaten the rest of my meal. We also ordered the sweet croissants and they were less than sweet. I would like to think that this is because this is a new location and they are not aware of what they should be doing so I will give them another try. I give them 3 stars because although my service was nice in the beginning our server got absent and we had to asks for her a few times. read more

Stopped in for dinner for the first time at Cheddars. Clearly very popular because it was incredibly crowded. I can see why, considering their menu is priced very reasonable. Kind of tough though if your not looking to max out on carbs. I had the ribeye, and for the price it was a tremendous value. The wife had the salmon and enjoyed it. Be warned, their fudge cake and I cream for two is far too massive. I get it that that's there schtick, but the size is obscene. read more

It was just ok. Our appetizers came out cold, the service was ok. The server seemed new or that he didn't know what he was doing. We had 8 people and all paid separate. I know it can get a little confusing, but he made the process seem impossible. Not to sure if I will rush back there. The one thing that was amazing was the croissants. They had some sweet honey butter on them. read more

Placed a to go order and was notified upon arriving at the time stated in the text when manager "Therese" comes out stating they didn't have monte cristo's and it would be 45 mins to wait. She asked what else I would like and gave me 2 seconds to look at the menu. She had an attitude when I attempted to cancel the replacement meal. When all was said and done, we didn't get the side of fries and had to wait an extra 30 mins for their fiasco. They need to call the customer and let them know prior to arrival!! Also expect to get all the food ordered if we paid for it, even $3 fries. read more

Great value and always wonderful food. Have never left still hungry. Only suggestion is to stay away from dining in the bar, service is a little slower because bar tender is usually busy. It's a pleasure to see the servers helping each other out on a consistent basis. read more

Our overall experience was great! Food was good, I ordered steak and chicken tender combo with broccoli casserole and Mac & cheese and a Caesar salad. My steak was a bit over cooked but everything else was delicious! No wait and fast service during dinner on a Tuesday. My reason for 4 stars is due to the steak and the painkiller drink (which is why I initially went there lol) it appeared the bartender may have spilled a whole lot of nutmeg on top of the drink, leaving a perfume taste... I've definitely had better drinks from other locations. read more

This will be the last time eating here. The food was cold when I got it.. I asked for ketchup for my cold fries. The guy I asked never came back. read more

Good food, and okay waiters/waitresses it's a hit or miss some are energetic and attentive while others ignore you, make you wait forever before bringing you drinks. The three hostess that stand at the counter are rude, don't smile, just stare at you when you walk in. All in all I'd still tell people to eat here read more

We went there on June 19 they were a little busy but the service was great. My wife had a full rack of ribs and she said the ribs were the best she ever had, they were a little crunchy on the top, which she loved and the flavor was great. I had the 16 oz T-bone steak and it too was cooked to perfection. I usually order "Pittsburgh" cooked but they do not have an open flame but, none the less, the steak was perfect, and the flavor was as good as "Pittsburgh" style cooked. We do love this location. read more

First time here on a Saturday. This means everyone come to Cheddars their immediate and extended family. Literally. It was crowded. Waited for about 30 mins to be seated for two. The food was ok. I would rate it above Applebees and TGI Friday's. The food didn't taste like it was microwaved. I liked the selection on the menu. It varied but wasn't overwhelming. Drinks were ok. I have had better. Overall food was inexpensive, priced well below what I expected ($45 for everything pictured). And taste did not disappoint. I'll try not to make this place a habit. read more

Cheddar's is a chain I was excited to try that opened here in Tampa. It's known to have everything made in house, down to their sauces. Unfortunately my favorite thing from this place isn't their food but their drinks. I tried their "lite" meal with chicken, shrimp and salad. Totally forgot the name. With a side of their croissant. Their croissant was delicious! But sadly the chicken wasn't completely cooked through and the salad was immensely soggy with the dressing. If I go back, I'll try something different but it's not at the top of my must try restaurants. read more

I was disappointed when I ate at Cheddars about a month back, I had been to the Brandon location and enjoyed it very much the food was yummy and the service was great. When I suggested we eat at the Dale Mabry location to my parents I figured it would be the same. When we arrived the place wasn't that full which was alright by us, there was plenty of parking and got seated right away but when we sat down our waiter stood tables always from us which I understand social distancing but it got a little out of hand not only did he have to make us repeat our orders multiple times because he couldn't hear through the mask which was ok until it got irritating and him putting two tables between us he even served our drinks and food the same way Even spilling our drinks on the table and almost us because we had to reach over two tables to get them. He wasn't very attentive at all either and acted I guess nervous to be around us which I get it's a pandemic but there was a waitress Who helped people nearby that seemed to not have this issue which I guess we should have asked for, the service was just awful had to ask for refills and croissants which the place in Brandon just brought them to our table and what country soul food place doesn't carry pepper sauce? When I asked the guy he acted like he didn't know what I was talking about. The food experience didn't help the situation either, I got the chicken fried steak and the breading was greasy and didn't stick to the steak, just broke off, the green beans were just blah that's why asked for the pepper sauce, I was just very displeased. As a southern girl I can say I've had way better. Maybe it was just an off day, maybe it was the service or the food or the whole combo but I was not impressed by this Cheddars. read more

I am not the client that will fuss, I am the client that will review and not patronize again. I was sat promptly in the bar, however it was at a booth that was dirty. The hostess (Octavia?) could visibly see it was dirty and proceeded to cover crumbs and watermarks with the large menu. It happens, I thought.....the waiter, Eric, greeted me and asked for my beverage order and promptly brought it to me. He asked if I needed more time and I said yes. About 2 minutes later I placed my menu on the edge of the table and after almost 6 more minutes he finally came back (he was clearing plates and dropping off checks to 2 other tables). I ordered a small loaded fries, Monte Christo and broccoli cheddar casserole. The fries were hot and delicious but you can't hardly go wrong with bacon and cheese! The sandwich was darker than it should have been and you could literally squeeze the grease out. The powdered sugar and raspberry marmalade were omitted by the kitchen. It also had a baked potato on the plate. The expeditor had no issue getting me the casserole when I told him the side was wrong. When he brought it out I asked about the marmalade and he realized it was missing too. The broccoli casserole was hot, however the cracker roping that is usually toasted was just thrown on and it was basically stale ground crackers. I did not feel it worthy to even take home. I was also going to order a steak and ribs Togo but decided that I didn't want to be disappointed any more than I was. read more

This is probably the one of the horrible experiences I ever had, I went with my family for my birthday to eat in my favorite restaurant, and what a nightmare. They were extremely busy , so we have to wait for about 30 minutes, then it took like 45 minutes to get the food to the table, the waitress bring us the drink and then disappear, my family ate , with no drinks,the waitress brought us the food and disappeared again, my food was missing I never got it. My family finished eating and I never got my food he apologized and told us he forgot, I asked for the manager and he acts like it wasn't a big deal, He offered he will take it out my bill lol, and a free dessert to take home I never ate lol.This was my favorite restaurant but what a disappointment, never again. This is the restaurant in Wesley chapel in Tampa Fl, behind The outlets. read more

Tried this restaurant for the 1st time on Sunday around 6:00pm. We were seated right away in a spacious & comfortable booth. Restaurant was clean & nicely decorated (brick & stone walls with contemporary drum lighting). We ordered Wisconsin Cheese Bites for appetizer. I'm a vegetarian so I kinda made up my own "entree": penne pasta noodles with Cajun Alfredo sauce with broccoli casserole. My husband got the fried shrimp with side of fries & mac & cheese. The menu has a nice variety of dishes. Our server was very friendly & helpful. Overall it was a good dining experience. We will definitely eat there again. read more
