Best Painkiller around. I have never been disappointed. My husband loves the pot pie. I'm more adventurous so I try something new every time we go. I even made it my birthday go to. read more

We stopped in for lunch after hiking while on vacation. The hostess was very nice and seated us immediately. The restaurant was clean but very busy. My husband had the ribeye meal which was good and I had a chicken salad which was good. The reason for the three star was the waitress. Even upon heading over to our table she gave me some dirty look and was abrupt and tried to cut us off talking. I asked if they had the honey mustard balsamic dressing like we do in our state and she was very rude and condescending in her reply. So she made the experience unpleasant. I also said no croutons on my salad (just in case they come with them in this restaurant-I have celiac) and told her why. I don't know if she didn't hear or didn't care but she brought the salad with a croissant on the salad. She had an attitude when I asked her to take it away and I reminded her of what I said and she said, " I thought you just said no croutons." read more

Me and My partner came in ready to have a little date night and We ordered two Long Islands with Marco... quite a few minutes passed and Marco walked by us twice without asking if we were ready to order an appetizer or anything. We had to flag him down to take our order. We understood that he had just had a few tables leave and seemed to have a lot to clean up. Once he took our order, I got my salad quickly, which was great. We thought we'd get our appetizer next since that would be considered (Course 1), and our mains (Course 2) would follow. I finished my salad and started looking for Marco, but he was busy flirting with a server at the bar (the one with bubble pigtails). That was annoying. While we were waiting, the manager, Jaime, had to bring out our appetizer, but unfortunately, it was lukewarm. At this point, I was fed up and got up to find Marco. He came around the corner with our entrees, and I said, "Hey, our appetizer was cold/lukewarm, and now you're bringing this? We haven't even had our appetizer." I also asked , "So you're not going to remake it?" That's when he said, "Yep, it is because you told me to hold it." Excuse me? By this time, my partner was done with the service, and as Marco walked away, he asked if we still wanted to see a manager. We said yes, and he responded with an attitude, "Cool, my name is Marco, by the way." We were just ready to leave. When Jaime came over, we explained everything, including the cold appetizer. He acknowledged our concerns and mentioned he thought it was odd since our food was also up. I expressed that I'd never been spoken to like that by a server, and it was unacceptable. Jaime was apologetic and offered us a credit for our next visit. We specifically drove to this Thornton location instead of the Aurora location, and if you have the option, go to Aurora. We both work in the industry--my partner is even an executive chef. We understand that things can get hectic, but meal coursing and good customer service should be standard. We just wanted to share our experience, and we won't be coming back to this Cheddar's read more

We started with the spinach dip and - YUM! Definitely recommend this! It was too much for two people, so you can definitely share with three or four people. We arrived at 530pm on a Sunday and there was a bit of a wait. We decided to grab two open seats at the bar and that worked perfectly. Service was great! I ordered salmon and macaroni and broccoli since it came with two sides. They have a lunch size portion and dinner. You can get either at any time. I was hungry so I did dinner! Salmon was so delicious and baked to perfection. It split apart perfectly. Definitely plenty of food as well! read more

We stopped in on a Sunday afternoon and asked to sit in the bar. The bar area has nice seating at the bar, a couple of high top tables and a number of booths. The bar area itself is a bit boring looking and lacks personality. Behind the bar is a large fish tank that you can see through to the dining room. The fish tank is even boring. There are no pictures on the wall and the place is a bit dark. It really could use some sprucing up. It's not dirty or run down, just very boring. We were seated right away but waited a bit for our waitress to come by our table because she she must have been on break. Once she arrived, she took our order and our drinks were delivered to our table in a very timely manner. I ordered a Pain Reliever. It was the best Pain Reliever I've ever had. The cream of coconut gives the drink a smooth taste and the toasted coconut on the rim just took the drink to a new level. The drink was nicely garnished with a fresh pineapple wedge and cherry, and it was well balanced. It was just delicious. I had the chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes. The steak was nicely breaded and fried with a nice crispy batter. The inside was tender and not dry. The mashed potatoes were delicious and had the right amount of lumps in it (I like my mashed potatoes a little lumpy) and these were perfect. The gravy was nicely seasoned and obviously made from scratch and not some packet. My dining partner had the ribs and loved them. I tasted them too and they were really tasty. They had a nice bark on the outside but were tender and juicy - fall of the bone good!! He said he'd have the ribs again in a heartbeat. The prices here are very reasonable. The serving sizes are nice too. The service was great and the cocktails were outstanding. Our server was super friendly and very attentive. She was great and we enjoyed her serivce. Whomever was the bartender on Superbowl Sunday afternoon does an excellent job. I was bummed I did not have some cash on me to tip her separately as I like to do but I had spent my cash before we arrived. She certainly deserved an extra tip but my fail for not having cash to tip her extra. read more

Watch out, y'all!! Cheddars is ripping you off! They have different prices in their menu than what you get charged (see pics). They also have NO PRICES listed for drinks. I asked my waitress if the drinks all cost the same. No, they don't. She said the lemonade and flavored teas cost more than all the other drinks and the coffee is cheaper. Why wouldn't they list prices? So, with drinks, you don't even know if you're getting ripped off. Wtf? SUPER SHADY!!! To whomever the owner is: ethics, integrity. Do better. read more

I had a very pleasant first experience with Cheddar's. I got takeout for myself and liked the sound of the bourbon glazed salmon with rice and 2 choice sides (corn off the cob and steamed veggies - mostly broccoli and carrots). My order was ready when I arrived and got friendly service from the bartender. Everything was packed well and stayed warm. The salmon was cooked well. It fell apart in the good way, and the bourbon glaze was a very nice addition to give it some savory sweet flavor. The corn was buttery, a little sweet and fresh. The veggies could have used a little more steam to soften them up but still fresh and good. The rice was also a welcome addition and went well with the residual bourbon glaze. Nice sized, filling portion. Overall good quality food at fair prices and good service. The interior looked inviting so looking forward to dining in down the road. read more

Walking in, the restaurant had a great ambiance and was decorated nicely. We were seated right away on a Saturday evening but it was busy! Happy hour is 2-6 weekdays. The painkiller drink was giant, strong and incredibly tasty. Also super affordable! The same drink could be $12-14 elsewhere. Be kind to yourself and order a snazzy beverage :) Our waiter was attentive and friendly. I ordered the blackened salmon with a side of broccoli cheddar casserole (per recommendation of the waiter) and mashed potatoes. Everything on my plate was awesome. The salmon was cooked through while still moist and glistening on the inside. The broccoli cheddar casserole was tasty and full of flavor. We had an issue with bees on the patio; several were circling us before our food was even brought out. Luckily we mentioned it to our waiter and he was able to move us inside a few minutes later to finish our meal. We had a great experience here and will be back for more tasty meals in the future! read more

First time at Cheddar's scratch kitchen was a disappointment. I ordered the Asian Salad which seemed like a "bagged salad" you would buy at a grocery store. Lettuce was gross. One of my older kids order Chicken Fried Steak and commented that he thought it was fake meat. Other kids ordered the kids Mac and Cheese and you could tell it sat under the warmers for long time. Service was slow, no reason for us to ever want to come back. read more

The food is always good, but their signature chicken pot pie is literally about a quarter of the size it used to be, I think the Marie Callander pot pie is the same size. Sad. read more

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen - Homemade Onion - American Near Me - Thornton, Colorado

Ate lunch here this week, great place. Huge, lots of seating indoor and out. Nice choices on menu. Hubs had Monte Cristo. He liked it. He got Salad, soup and half a Monte cristo. Salad was large and delicious. They serve a croissant, that is the lightest fluffiest flaky croissant ever eaten. Served with the salad. Potato soup was tasty. I had the bacon cheeseburger with fries. Hot hit fries the best way to eat them. Bacon tasted a little off, didn't get sick so much have been just me. I at some then pulled the rest out. I didn't finish the burger, not because of bacon because of it being so big. The only downfall was not being asked if I wanted a refill on my tea. Our server was busy yes, however several other servers and such passed by our table several times. No one offered. I didn't interrupt as they were busy. Anyway over all a great time and we will be back, next time I will have my bottled water with me. read more

Two stars for these bums! Food is 4.5/10. Service is 3.5/10. Waiter didn't know the menu. Food came out cold. Took forever to get sauces. Took forever for them to deliver the check and take payment. It's what you would expect from a boring, basic ass chain. read more

The restaurant was very clean, manager was helping his staff out, service was great, and the food was great! I recommend!

The food was amazing! when we finally had the chance to eat some!! the only down fall is they use the same oil for EVERYTHING!! Having a severe shrimp allergy wasn't the best and there is so much on the menu that gets cross contaminated! Fortunately though our server Kendra did an amazing job with taking it very seriously and wouldn't stop until we had something to eat!! Thank you Kendra!! if we ever go back definitely asking for her!! read more

This continues to be one of our favorite chain food restaurants. This location specifically is consistently great with food service preparation most of the time. Service is great most of the time as well. The chicken tenders are some of the best. read more

The food definitely made up for the service. Our server wasn't the most attentive unfortunately, but the food was so great! My husband is a cheese fries aficionado and he definitely approved. I love onion rings and if you do too, I definitely recommend the giant tower of rings. So good! I'm sad that this location isn't closer to us, but maybe it's a good thing because we'd be there all the time! read more

Steak was under cooked and sides were cold. Waiter slow to get drink refills and never brought my extra butter. Manager did not come and say sorry for not cooking the meal the way it was requested. We go often but will not be back anytime soon. read more

There were six of us at lunchtime, and from the time we walked in the service was outstanding. Our server, Madyson was so attentive, and so very friendly. She made our lunch very enjoyable. She made excellent recommendations on food choices, and as my husband said we felt like we were the only ones she was waiting on. We were all visiting in Denver and our family was from Olympia, Washington, Portland, Oregon, and Austin, Texas. We all wish we had a Cheddars in our city. read more

The food is okay, restaurant is clean and fine for a family meal. The sound carries so hard to have a business meeting here and the food for the price makes it an okay spot. For the price I would like more of a wow. read more

I met a friend here for lunch. This is one of my favorite restaurants in this are. We were greeted promptly but had to wait about 15 minutes to be seated. (This restaurant does not take reservations). We chose to dine on the patio because it was a nice day. The menu here is extensive, with everything from steaks, ribs, seafood, pasta and salads. I ordered a strawberry lemonade and the chicken fried chicken ($13.99). My friend ordered the lunch portion of lemon pepper catfish filets served on a bed of rice with a side of mashed potatoes ($11.99). We both had a Caesar salad to start. Service was prompt and friendly. Regular menus are back on the table, along with ketchup, salt and pepper. Masks are not mandated and barely anyone was wearing one. Social distancing was being observed on the patio, but inside, it looked like all of the tables were full. Wait staff were not wearing masks. Servings are plentiful and I almost always end up taking food home. They have a fully stocked bar. There is an enormous parking lot. Take-out and delivery are available. read more

I paid too much money for the food, which was bad. The hostess also had an attitude. I will never come back to Cheddars.

Do not order from this restaurant via Grub Hub. The $16 nachos will be soggy by the time they get to you, and they are not that good. The $20 chicken fried chicken meal was completely missing from our order. The Monte Crisco is good. The spinach dip was a solid lump by the time it arrived and super salty. Since my teens entire entree was missing, he ended up eating the 3 chicken tenders (appetizer) and some plain tortillas chips. I don't understand why we have to tip Grub Hub drivers on the total purchased, then they get to retain the large tip even when part of the order is completely missing and the order arrives late. It's crazy to me. This entire experience was not worth the $90 I had to pay for missing, late, soggy items. read more

Everyone was so nice, the food was amazing and it's not too expensive. I love going there.

Cheddars is an easy place to go on a weeknight for a not bad meal for a good price. The food isn't anything amazing, with the veggies seeming to be from a can or frozen and the lettuce in the salads being kind of sad. I do think the chicken tenders and fried chicken are great, and it's nice to be able to go out to a sit down dinner and spend under $30 for 2. read more

Love me a good Cheddar's experience! We are waiting for our local Cheddar's building to be completed and for it's grand opening this summer. While we wait, when we travel, if there is a Cheddars- best bet we will stop in! I stopped in to the Thornton, CO Cheddar's for lunch while on business travel. It was a top notch lunch! I got my favorite lunch meal- the Monte Cristo with a baked potato. (and YOU KNOW we enjoyed some DELICIOUS honey butter croissants!) The food was as good as ever and the service matched. 10/10 Cheddar's Thornton! Keep it up, y'all! read more

Food was good, takeout was fairly easy & staff was very friendly. Price was a lot for what we got.

Food 8/10. Service was 3/10. My husband and I just moved to the area and decided to go here for a quick date night last night. Wrong decision. Our server Jerome was the absolute worst. Jerome did not refill our drinks and when asked to refill our drinks, he saw two empty cups and decided to bring one refill. Okay cool. I guess we can share? He did not bring the dips I requested. Only stopped by our table once after the food arrived. It was just a super awkward experience overall. Hope we don't get him as our server the next time we decide to visit. read more

Croissants are amazing the strawberry swirl margaritas never miss fairly priced margaritas

Super bummed. Not every visit is going to be a 5 star visit, but tonight was really disappointing for a restaurant that is use to heavy volume. The hostess took my number do wrong after speaking to two other hostesses two different times, and when I finally called them after twenty minutes they told us we would be sat immediately. We went inside and waited only a few minutes but were placed in a far, dark, cold corner where no one spoke to us, greeted us, or possibly even knew we were there. We tried to speak out to a server walking by and finally got the attention of a busser to notify someone. After five more minutes, we left. Not mad, just bummed and now after an hour, very hungry. Maybe another time. read more
