    Was pretty crowded when we went and had to wait 15 min to be seated but thankful since it keeps the restaurant much less crowded inside. Server was awesome and 2 things you have to get is one of their Painkiller drinks and extra croissants!

    Sooooooo good!! Unbelievable quality, quantity and value! Spent 53 dollars for 3 huge meals, ended up getting 7 meals out of!! Family size salad for 5.99 came in two massive pans and enough for 7 good sized salads!! Got steak and half rack of ribs for under 20 bucks. Ribs were great and steak cooked to perfection! Honey Dijon chicken was great and 2 BIG chicken breasts come with it, along with rice and 2 sides for 13 bucks!! Unreal!! Lemon pepper chicken was very tasty especially for a healthier option! Baked potatoes were very large and we were given lots of butter, cheese and sour cream! Broccoli cheddar casserole is always a fan favorite! Great crossaint comes with each meal!

    Cheddars is a great restaurant for a quick meal with family and friends. They have an awesome Birthday reward program that allows you to have a free dessert on your birthday. The portion size was a good value for the money. Our service was appropriate for the occation. Parking is free and plenty. The ambiance here is nice and somewhat quiet. This restaurant offers plenty of booth seating options as well as tables for larger gatherings. The restaurant is clean and sanitized after each party. Overall, we had a nice dinner.

    My first experience was that I didn't enjoy the restaurant. I asked to not be seated in the bar and they sat my daughter and I in the bar area. The food was good however our server wasn't. Update: September 16th 2023 I decided to give Cheddar's a second chance. My daughter and I were seated on the opposite side of the bar. The decor is simplistic, cozy and nice my daughter and I enjoyed the atmosphere. We really enjoyed the fact that the lights were dim. When I go to a new restaurant I look at the cleansingness. This restaurant is very clean. Our waitress did a fantastic job. Also, like I stated on my first visit the food was great. I do recommend this restaurant especially if you have a large family because their booths are huge and long and there's plenty of space for a big family to sit. 4/5 people on each side can sit comfortably and not have the feeling of being overcrowded. So overall a family of 10/11 can all sit together. Which is very nice. 🙂 I look forward to bringing my whole family to eat at Cheddar's.

    One of my father's favorite places. We went recently and I had the full rack of ribs. The portion was bigger than I anticipated and they were cooked perfectly. I definitely went home full and happy

    It was my first time here, and I really like it!. The service is very good. Our server is very attentive. Food was exceptionally delicious and fresh. The atmosphere was quiet and vibrant. I will surely come back soon for delicious food, especially their fresh croissants ☺️.

    I hadn't been to Cheddar's in a very long time, so I thought I'd stop by. I went in for an early dinner and sat at the bar. I had amazing service from the bartender. I wish I had remembered his name. I ordered the coconut pineapple mule, and it was delicious. Just writing this makes me want another one. I then ordered the New Orleans pasta, and it was really good as well. My visit went wonderful. I recommend this location.

    my boyfriend and i went there for dinner last night. we get sat and wait 10 mins for us to even be greeted by our server, it was kind of busy so i cut her some slack. takes forever for her to come back with drinks. we put our order in when she took our drinks. our food came out in a reasonable time, but when we got our food the waitress didn’t check on us at all. our glasses sat empty for the majority of our meal and when she came over and said “i’ll be right back with drinks” it was another 10 mins. i get it’s probably cause we are young, but i’ve been a server for about 2 years and i understand. his mom is a server as well. we always tip good, usually way over 20%. she judged us based on our appearance and gave us bad service. we took the rest of our food to go, and i noticed a piece of plastic in my spinach dip. our other food was great

    Food came out super fast. It was all so delicious and big portions! Sad I never gave it a try while living there but just visited over Valentines weekend and was pleasantly surprised!

    My first visit and it did not disappoint! I had the 6 oz. steak and coconut shrimp with green beans and carrots. Everything was fresh and the steak was tender and flavorful. Highly recommend. Their menu is smaller due to covid, but great choices. My friend had the bourbon salmon and she said it was wonderful.

    Amy p is the most genuine best server we have ever had dinning here. We couldn't leave a survey like she suggested because we paid cash. But she was just so outstanding that we wanted make sure she got recognition. Our last few times eating here we have been very displeased with the servers. Amy with the tattoos had changed out spirits. So genuine, spunky, and respectful. We will return for her and her only. Please make her a manager ASAP.

    So where do I begin? First impressions walking to the front door i immediately thought that this joint was gonna be on the pricey side, I mean look at the aesthetic! Walking in I didn’t have to wait long at all I was seated very quickly by a nice gentleman. I had the pleasure of having Christine (Bacon) as my server (yes they call her Bacon because a lot of Christine’s work there lol) she was awesome, made sure I had my drinks as soon as I sat she gave me two sweet butter croissant as a starter and it was AMAZING! What more can you ask from a server. However I had to use the restroom and as you can see below they look so clean and sleek, I love the atmosphere here and how nice everyone is. But to wrap it all up we ordered some shareable nachos and dip with the classic cheddars cheese curds type deal they had with carrot cake as shown below, also had a take home 6 oz steak with 2 sides for my brother and he absolutely loved it! My server gave me everything I needed and made sure I was set! 10/10 would recommend coming here! With all the food I got and how great service and how clean everything was i felt like I should have payed more! This place is adorably great! With great food! Thank you Cheddars!

    The food was great but the staff was rude. We came in at 7:30 for a party of 10 and the host rolled her eyes and went “ugh”. Then the waitress seemed irritated the whole time we were there. It would have been a great experience if the staff had a better attitude.

  • 5/5 Marilyn K. 7 months ago on Google
    We sat in the bar area. But we had to move to a different table because the A/C was blowing so hard on us. The waitress was so kind and understanding. She moved us right away. She was sweetheart.

  • 4/5 Shari P. 7 months ago on Google
    The menu was pretty light, not enough options to choose from. My meal was tasty, but the broccoli casserole side dish could use a bit of flavor. The server forgot to bring lemon for my water. Other than that it's pretty nice place.

  • 3/5 tammy b. 7 months ago on Google
    We are from ct, we Always stop in and are never disappointed, but tonight we were very disappointed in everything but the server, she was great. First off we are a party of 8 they put us at a table for 6. It was very cold in there when ask to turn it up we were told the employees were asking for it to be turned warmer all evening. We order steak and fish, 3 pot pies. We were told that the pot pies are made to order and it would take an extra 25 minutes, needless to say when they didn't come out the bowls on the outside were really hot but inside it was warm not piping hot. Back to the two plates of steak we got they were cold because of it being so cold in there. The croissants with honey butter, they must of changed there recipe.

    1st timer - was nothing to impress? Just everyday food, will need to try something else on another visit. The best item was the Honey butter Croissant ;-) Should have had a second one. Was out of White Gravy for the Country Fried Steak - so passed on that item.

  • 4/5 Debra B. 11 months ago on Google
    Food was great, however, server checking back, even asking if we wanted dessert, was non-existent. We had to ask others for refill on waters and desserts. The dinner salad came after the main course was served. Mark is not one I would recommend for providing the service we've come to expect at Cheddars.

  • 5/5 Terry “Stryperman” P. 1 year ago on Google
    Friendly staff, large portions, great food. Will definitely be back!

  • 2/5 Debbie H. 11 months ago on Google
    For a restaurant that's supposed to be home cooking it sure was salty, nothing was FRESH. The buttered of the cob corn was straight from the can. I definitely don't need to go back. The honey croissant was the best part of meal. Our server was either just terrible with remembering or didn't give a $^$k. It was not his first day.

  • 5/5 Ann R. 1 year ago on Google
    I live this restaurant for its diverse menu, large portions & excellent low prices. I was sad when the location in Brandon, FL closed. But now that I'm in St Pete I eat there or pick up regularly. Best red beans & rice. I love their chicken tenders. I recently tried their grilled salmon & was pleasantly surprised.

  • 5/5 Marsha T. 1 year ago on Google
    This place exceeded my expectations. The ribs were falling off the bones, the painkiller drink was great and the server was attentive. She made decaf just for my friend. We split the full rack and it was more than enough. The croissants are to die for. We had such a great time. We will be back.

    ** UPDATED REVIEW JUNE 2023 3 STARS TO 2 STARS NOW TO 4 STARS. I dined here twice this past week #1 was on 6/6/23 Finally a super wonderful server, her name was Ashley. Service was not slow, food was wonderful !!! We ordered the Cheddar's Trio Sampler to start, our entrees were Grilled Chicken Pecan Salad and Key West Chicken and Shrimp. It was a very nice meal, nice portion sizes #2 was on 6/10/23 We skipped an appetizer Carrot Cake. We both ordered the half rack of ribs & chicken tender. Cheddar's has the best chicken tenders and I liked their Ribs better than Outback. the only think lacking on this visit was the server, kind of felt like she was sleep walking (lol) but she was nice, service was was not slow. I will say food is consistently great but the service is a hit and miss. Definitely looking at ordering a family bundle take out. PICTURES POSTED ARE FROM JUNE 2023 DINING DAYS ( the picture makes the salad look small but it was not) 3-11-2023 > taking my 3 stars to 2 stars new review for over all reviews, but this visit is a minus 3 stars !!this place is a hit n' miss. consistently SLOW service and unpleasant servers. again not very many people inside dining. food temp. was warmish then got cold pretty fast since they have the a/c vents blowing right on you. Chicken tenders were rubbery which I did not expect since the food is usually good just the rest of it bad. NO follow up from the server. As much as we wanted to get desert they didn't ask or offer?? Probably best we just left. Do "they" not care about the tip?? The first time I ate here was about 6 months after they opened this location, and food was bad but the service was pretty good, as well as the manager and never went back until today 07/07/22 had a late lunch / early dinner to beat any long wait & Place was pretty empty. The food was great, nice portions ((but)) terrible unfriendly awful service !!!! No follow up once we received our food, only one stop to refill one person's drink? next time she appeared was to have us pay out, didn't asked if we wanted desert which should be part of their training. so 4 stars for food and no stars for service = my 3 star rating. This county has plenty of other places ,so no Thanks, I'll dine elsewhere.

    Took my mom here to celebrate her last dose of radiation. She had the sirloin and was very pleased with the food and the server. I had the combination. It put a bigger smile on her face.

  • 4/5 N L. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was good, place seemed clean. Salads are very good and filling, I had fried chicken, white gravy, mashed potatoes and salad. They had chicken tenders, fried shrimp, fries and salad

  • 3/5 Bryan M. 1 year ago on Google
    Mixed feelings about this restaurant. On the positive side. Love the Painkiller drinks, Coconut Shrimp are fantastic and all of the food, except our appetizer (Cheese Curds) was great. Sadly they cut the coconut shrimp from the menu, our server, Brooke, was awesome and even checked with the kitchen to get us the coconut shrimp made even though they were off menu. Although Brooke was attentive, the overall wait time at this restaurant was atrocious, 20 min to sit, 10 min before drink order was taken, 30 min before appetizer had arrived, had to ask multiple times after the Painkiller (apparently it was made and then taken by another table) and then another 10-15 min before food arrived. Overall: The food is up to par, but with our favourite item coming off them menu, the disorganization of the staff in general and the wait times. We do not plan on returning and would not recommend to others.

    This is a drink named "Pain Killer" that is only embibed by me with my designated driver as Boss. Wonderful. Tasty. Check menu for eating options. I personally like a few more appetizer and entre' proposals to kick it up. It doesn't even have to be expensive. But, as is, we enjoyed our visit to perfection. No complaints on the food either.

  • 5/5 Mouse M. 2 years ago on Google
    So good and tasty. From the warm sweet butter croissant to the steak to the buffalo chicken wraps. And the broccoli casserole is delicious.

  • 1/5 Tori K. 1 year ago on Google
    I would give it 0 stars but it will only let me give one. Everything was dirty here. The cups, plates, table, silverware. The food has different things in it and the place was dusty. We lost our appetite just after getting our drinks. Also service was super slow we kept having to ask other people to get our waiter. 0/10 recommend. DO NOT COME HERE!

  • 5/5 Douglas K. 2 years ago on Google
    The food is consistently awesome, the hostess this afternoon 05-Feb-2022 gets five stars and a HUGE THANK YOU for frantically trying to call a phone I left at home to go about returning my wallet that I dropped in the lobby and caught my wife going out the door. Our server Leigh was outstanding despite being very very busy and apparently taking care of our entire side of the restaurant herself, and our meal, delicious as always. Many thanks to all at Cheddars, we shall return soon, good restaurants are difficult to find, great service, even more difficult, these two ladies went above and beyond which makes it one of our favorites!

  • 4/5 Deborah C. 2 years ago on Google
    I like the ambience of the restaurant, their food is pretty good and their prices are reasonable. The issue I had was it wasn't very clean. The first table we were seated at was not cleaned off from the prior customers. The second table we were seated at had a steak knife shoved between the booth seat and the wall which could have cut someone badly, and there were crumbs all over the top part of the booth seats. The waitress we had was awesome though so that made our experience better. I didn't complain to them...I just know what to look for when I eat there again.

  • 5/5 Doug W. 2 years ago on Google
    Server was to our table within a minute of being seated. Drinks were right or out. Food came out quickly. The salmon, especially the Bourbon glaze, was delicious. Server checked with us several times to make sure we were good. Great food, great service. We go at least once a week.
