    Sprouts from Brussels
    Ronnie B.

    First time to visit. Great appetizer "Sprouts From Brussels". The brussel sprouts are fried, and mixed with smoked bacon and Asian sauce. Very tasty!! I give it a 5+ rating. The main dish was "Blackjack" burger. Blackened seasoning with pepper jack cheese, onions, jalapeños with chipotle aioli. Pretty tasty. I give it a 4 rating.

    We were in a while back and sat at the bar. Melissa was the bartender that day. She was AMAZING. She made some great recommendations, including the Brussel sprouts, which... under any other circumstances, we would've never eaten. She said they were the MOST ordered item there... we declined but she brought us a sample anyway. Let me tell you, we understand now. They were crispy, perfectly sauced and surprisingly delicious! The burgers we had were also great but my favorite was the house made French onion dip that came with the chips. TOP. TIER. We also sampled a couple of the "cowboy up" and "pop goes the weasel" rolls. Needless to say, we were impressed by these as well. Only great things to say about the place as well as Melissa's service and we ended lunch with a hug for the man that created the menu!

    Sweet Potato Tots - Fantastic From The Heavens Salad - Great Other lady at the bar was losing her mind over the chicken sandwich. They probably had 12-16 craft beers on tap, plenty of TVs, multiple seating options, and an outdoor patio. From the outside it's dark tinted windows in a mall area but solid food and a great option for a beer.

    Sweet potato puffs. Not a bad choice for an appetizer or with a main dish.

    It has a neighborhood bar atmosphere. We went as a group and all got different sandwiches. They were all very good and good prices.

    I was visiting a friend from out of town and this place was recommended. I did check the reviews…read more They were good but not great but I figured to give it a shot. I ordered a personal pizza and while it was good, it was warm at best when I hit my table. My friend was meeting me there so I ordered him a ranch chicken wrap, but wanted to sub the crispy chicken for grilled chicken. They have grilled chicken on the menu so I figured it was not going to be any big deal. I also ordered him a side salad with honey mustard dressing. When the bill came they charged three dollars for the grilled chicken, which makes no sense because it's already on the menu with another sandwich, and they charged a dollar for the salad dressing, which is absolutely ridiculous since no one eats dry salads. I will say they did appease me and turned the Detroit Tigers game on, but what was odd was they didn't even know it was being televised..... and it's a sports bar. The waitress was nice and wished me safe travels and checked on us more than a few times. I would give it 2 1/2 stars if that was applicable, but it's not so I'm going with three.

    Depending on the day Franks can be hit or miss. It can be awesome or a total flop. Back in the day…read moreit was always spot on and I guess I'm longing for when they put more care in the product they put out than when they were obsessed with bumping up the prices.

    DATE & TIME OF VISIT: April 2026. They were not too busy (there was no wait line)…read more CLEANLINESS: Unfortunately the last few times we have come the cleanliness has been lacking. Floors everywhere were extremely dirty, bathrooms dirty, and when I peaked inside the kitchen (while walking by) so filthy (to be honest, we considered leaving before even ordering anything!). HOSTESS & SERVER: The hostesses were fine, not rude but not friendly either. Our server (male with dark hair) was very nice, he at times gave off a vibe of being new. The service is still very SLOW, so plan to be sitting awhile waiting to order, get food, etc. FOOD: This is what we ordered.... Cheddars Trio Sampler -- 3 Choices were: Chicken Tenders, Wisconsin Cheese Bites, and Queso Fries. Taste: Chicken tenders were good, cheese bites were very good (greasy though), queso fries were alright. Size: average. Price: $12.49 Cheddars Trio Sampler -- 3 Choices were: Chicken Tenders, Chips & Queso w/meat, and Queso Fries. Taste: Chicken tenders were good, chips were good, queso with meat was fine, queso fries were alright. Size: average. Price: $12.49 Monte Cristo -- Taste: it was alright but found it was too sweet and got sickening to eat after the first piece. Size: average. Price: $11.99 Baby Back Ribs -- Taste: very dry. Overall flavor was alright but we had a hard time getting past how dry and tough they were. Greens beans were not very good. Mashed potatoes were good. Size: average. Price: $16.49 OVERALL THOUGHTS: Server was very kind but service in general is slow. Cleanliness has definitely been lacking and I honestly would hate to see what happens in the kitchen!! WOULD I RETURN? Probably not, mostly due to the state of cleanliness the whole establishment was in.

    I realize that it has been decades since visiting Cheddars. I will not wait that long for the next…read moretime. The place is conveniently located on Saginaw HWY along with a lot of other eateries. There is lots of parking. The restaurant has some mileage to it as it is a bit dated, but I liked it. We enjoyed the big booths and large table. Lucky it was large because we ordered more than a few things. To start, we ordered the onion rings and the fried cheese for our appetizers. They were both quite good, but my favorite was the onion rings fried to perfection. Light and crunchy and just a great bite. We also ordered what Cheddars calls the painkiller. It is a large tasty drink that is sort of a combination of a piña colada Meets a Mai Thai. The meals included the Key West chicken and it comes with rice and two sides. It has a kick to it and it's really flavorful and tender. We also ordered the sirloin and the hand breaded chicken tenders. Both were quite delicious and I love the crunch on the chicken tenders. The sides were also really nice and they included the sweet carrots and the broccoli cheese casserole along with crispy fries. This was quite a meal and it filled us up in a very happy way. We ate up and we left very happy and full with the idea of returning here soon. I don't live around here but when I visit this area, I will definitely stop here again.
