    Great service. We were sat immediately on a Friday at noon without a reservation. Server was attentive, fast and accurate. Cheese curds were amazing. The fried shrimp and chicken strips were really good but the dipping sauces weren't anything to write home about. I had Buffalo and a Hot Honey and if you didn't tell me that's what they were, I'd have never guessed. Fries were mediocre.

    Excellent food and service. Autumn was attentive and friendly. Food was prepared correctly and very tasteful. The wait was for 40 mins but we were seated in about 25 mins. Great atmosphere and very clean.

    This location does call aheads for parties of 7 or more. We had a party of 11 and were seated shortly after arrival. Service was great and food was tasty. The honey butter croissants are delicious. Portion sizes are decent compared to cost. Would definitely come here again. They are now using table kiosks for bill payment.

    First time at Cheddar's not running back to this particular location. The good thing even though they were a lot of people there there wasn't that much of a wait maybe 15 to 20 minutes. Food came out quick. The not so great experience seems like the waitress had an attitude from the door didn't seem like she was happy at her job. It almost seemed like she did not like being a waitress because if I asked her for something she said the price back to me like I couldn't afford it that's the first time I've ever experienced that feeling anywhere ever. 50% of the food was good (ribs, chicken fingers...veggies were delicious) disappointed with the salad and the chicken. The tomatoes looked mushy like it was just shoved into the plate and the chicken looked processed and shrimp mushy as well. I was expecting better chicken quality real chicken to be honest and I felt like it was just a grilled chicken and frozen shrimp that they took from the frozen section and heated it up. Spongy and chewy. I would have received real chicken at Popeyes I would have thought this place was better quality with the prices. The only highlight was the hot croissant which shouldn't be the highlight of the whole dinner. The experience was just off putting for me and my family with the vibe we received. I heard so many great things about this place but just with this experience I will not be coming back. Im sorry I would not recommend this location if this is the service it is being provided.

    All the food was really good! I highly recommend the strawberry lemonade or flavored iced tea. Food took a little long to come out but overall a good experience.

    25 minute wait but understandable memorial weekend. Food came fast, hot and delicious, chicken was tender, juicy and good portions. I had honey Dijon chicken, broccoli casserole, and southern green beans, wife had key west shrimp n chicken.

    This place has a nice atmosphere. We came at a busy time so the food took a little longer than expected, but the quality was incredible. Looking forward to my next outing

    We had a late dinner here and didn't expect much, but wow, we were wrong! The honey butter croissants were so addictive! Then we ordered ribs and country fried chicken entrees. Both were absolutely delicious. Our server was polite and friendly. The food was very reasonably priced and the atmosphere was really nice. I love this chain and will always recommend!

    Had a wonderful meal here on a holiday weekend. Not too crowded and no wait for a table. Menu seems very reasonably priced, especially in a time where inflation has made everything so expensive. The drinks and entrees were generously (over)sized, especially relative to the prices. Our server Jared was extremely polite and helpful. We really had more of an experience than just simply a meal.

    Bit of a trip from New Port Richey, but definitely will be making the trip again. So my mom really wanted a day out with me so we went to her favorite place. I did not realize it was about 20miles from the house. 😅 When we got there it was a bit busy and a little loud from all the family conversations going around. But we were seated quickly and joined in with our own conversations. Waitress was super nice other than she was busy with so many tables that she would take a minute to come back and check. Also with all the conversations she forgot a few things here and there but quickly recovered when she was able to. Mom was obsessed with the honey butter croissants. She even got two more for 1.99. Me on the other hand stuck with basics as I was a little iffy with honey butter. The appetizer was delicious. Chicken was super juicy and the flavor was amazing. Was not a fan of the spinach dip, but the queso was pretty good. For my main meal I got a classic burger + added cheese along with some fries. The fries were super good, but will be asking for less salt next time. Over all a cute place with delicious food. Looking forward to going back. 💜

    Steak and potatoes were very good; perfectly seasoned and tender. Customer service from Alice Ann was great! She was wonderfully delightful. Definitely recommend.

    Cheddar's is definitely a hit in Wesley Chapel, with southern favorites untouched and twists on classic southern dishes no wonder why it's so popular, I liked the food, the atmosphere is nice, it has a bar area for those that want to be in a bar setting and a restaurant vibe on the other side where you can go with family. The service is amazing, we've had Autumn for the last two times we've been there and she's very efficient and lovely. The croissants are amazing, very buttery. The chicken pot pie was excellent, nice crust on top and then filled with vegetables and chicken, the buffalo chicken was pretty, very satisfying. The creamy garlic tilapia and shrimp was delicious, so far my favorite dish from Cheddar's and the reason for the four stars is the Key West chicken and shrimp, it was really good until you tried that pineapple pico de gallo, it tasted very bitter but then can read very sweet, it doesn't work on this dish, actually the best part was the beans, it had tons of flavor, delicious and finally the New Orleans pasta was very salty, it tasted so good but the flavor was overpowered by the saltiness in the sauce and the meat and I preferred salty dishes but that was just too much. Still I recommend people to try this place and these dishes.

    I am furious. We drive an hour to get the spinach dip and and we got two to go. These are a perfect example of how ridiculous this is. There is less than half an inch of spinach dip in here. I’d say it’s only a one off but they also deliver the glass finish with hardly in it as well. The price has doubled and there is an inch of spinach dip? I understand the price jump. Hell I’d pay $10 or $13 for it if they would just actually put some spinach dip in it. Corporate needs to change this and quickly. I will say I called the store to tell them how ridiculous it was in the manager was very helpful. It seems like the employees are great however, corporate really needs to get it together.

    First time here. Our server was personable, and so great he made sure we were satisfied with the dining. The food was so delicious, I ordered the white fish platter. The only thing I would have changed was adding some seasoning to the fish. The honey butter croissants were amazing, a pleasant surprise a light crunch on the outside and pillowy inside.

    We stopped here before heading to the mall. The food was amazing and the staff was great. If you are in the area, this is a great family-friendly place to stop for a meal.

    My wife wanted to try Cheddars, so I said ok. I had been to the one in Clearwater awhile ago. But hey, I have to tell you that it was absolutely delicious. She ordered the chicken pecan salad, and I ordered the country fried steak. Well, it was absolutely fantastic, and my God, the red beans and rice were outstanding, and our daughter's pasta was great. But our server Sydney was great. Even though she had a lot of tables to cover, she never missed a beat. So give them a try, and hopefully, Sydney will be serving you.

    Cheddar's is always a great choice for quick, delicious food and reasonable prices. Cocktails are delicious and lower than most places in the area. They bring warm, fresh croissants to the table and, whew!, they are delicious. Generous portions make for a second meal at home. We had the cheese bites, Monte Cristo, and chicken tender platter. Delicious!

    Food is always good. All made from scratch. I usually get their chicken pot pie but tried their steak today and it was very tasty. 6oz sirloin. Total meal was $20 as far as the pricing with tax and a 25% tip was $27.

    First of all, I am giving two stars because the waitress was super nice, and checked on us many times trying to fix whatever the kitchen and manager messed up. I wouldn't recommend ordering Steak in this restaurant, I ordered Ribeye medium temperature and came well done. Second attempt was ordered Medium Rare, it came almost bleu, or how the server described Mooing! To add up the meat was super hard to cut, a lot of connective tissue. Also for after covid times I recommend calling the restaurants before hand to check if they have what you are planning to order, because I have been facing this situation very frequently lately. My very first option was Baby Back Ribs and they were SO. I am not coming back ever again to this Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen, I am sorry.

    Birthday Celebration! Two Tampa sisters met Ocala sister and hubby to celebrate Tampa Trola’s birthday. We had a comfy large booth and had a leisurely lunch. A festive time was had by all thanks to our very personable and efficient waiter, Blaine. He deserves five stars and more. He offered menu tips and certainly made up for a couple of menu items that were unavailable. We enjoyed wraps, burger, pot pie and a specialty sandwich with sides. Portions were very generous and prices reasonable. Blaine even surprised us with a Birthday dessert with some mighty fine lettering. Thank you for ensuring our get together was memorable and fun!

    I'd never visited a Cheddar's before yet the wife had when she lived in Chicago and she had said it was very good so we went, 11th July around 2ish, and she wasn't lying. The front desk young lady was super nice, professional and we were sat within around 10 mins. I liked to text system with regards to awaiting / checking your seating time too. Our servicer, Allison, was great. The honey croissants were an absolute treat to wet the whistle while we decided what we wished to order. The wife ordered Cheddar's Trio Sampler which was 4 delicious hand-breaded chicken tenders, Santa Fe Spinach Dip (fantastic) Homemade Queso (lovely) and Tortilla Chips with salsa and an included side of the Honey Mustard dipping sauce for the tenders. As the wife doesn't eat that much I was given 2 of the tenders and also had a few chips, spinach dip and queso and it was really good! I ordered the half rack of 'Fall off the Bone' ribs which came with 2 sides so I got the fries and coleslaw. The ribs did fall off the bone, they were juicy and very tasty as we're the fries (nice and hot) and slaw. I did get a little extra BBQ sauce for the ribs and fries if only just to make sure I got it on my face lol The service, and the food were absolutely brilliant and I'd definitely go back. Loved it

    Always have a wonderful experience here. Great food! Never a complaint with service or food. We usually sit at the bar. Their fried chicken sandwich tossed in buffalo sauce is sinfully delicious. If you haven't had it, do not get it! :)
