We drove 45 minutes to get there We're sitted promptly Read the menu And waited and waited and waited Wait staff zipped by us paid us no attention After what seemed like 10 minutes went to host station -- they'll have someone right there after another 5 here he comes all apologizes not his table but hell be glad to take our order how nice Will have the meatloaf Sorry all sold out We left We may never go back Very bad experience read more

Sadly the ribs were dry, the potatoes cold, and the broccoli rice was mushy. I'll stick with their salads which haven't disappointed.

The unexpected $2.99 gaming fee on my bill was disappointing. I took my 6 yr old great nephew to lunch. There was an iPad type of technology standing up at the end of the table as we sat down. I didn't pay much attention to it because I was looking at the menu. My great nephew picked it up and started playing on it and continued to play on and off before and after our meal. There wasn't a sign on the table to indicate a gaming fee. If there had been one on the iPad, my 6 yr wouldn't have been be able to read it. I looked for a fee notification on the iPad after I saw it on my bill but there wasn't one. While I am not as tech savvy as the younger generation, I'm no novice. I was suckered this time. But, no more. FOOD... onion rings were delicious, kids cheeseburger equivalent to McDonald's, Philly cheesesteak meat was tender but salty, croissants were fabulous, hot fudge cake sundae is HUGE... fills an entire dinner plate.. enough for four. read more

I eat here about quarterly. Always excellent food and friendly service. Nice atmosphere. Clean. Must try the grilled fish.

We love Cheddar's but last night was the exception. We decided to go out one night early for Mother's Day knowing how busy it would be. We requested outdoor seating as it was a nice evening. Our wait time was understandably 45 minutes given there were prom and birthday parties going on. When we were called the manager took us to an indoor table. I asked if there were any available outdoor tables and he and another manager said no. A third man checked and walked us outside where I counted about 8 empty tables. The food has always been so good and great sizable portions but not so much last night. We ordered medium ribeye steaks and both were well overdone and dry. My husbands shrimp was over cooked and dry. The loaded baked potato was nothing more than a baked potato with a little butter and sour cream. Carrots were undercooked. My husband asked two servers for bbq sauce when they had a minute but it never came. Most servers were busy with 10+ tables so didn't have time to check on the smaller tables. Very disappointed. Sorry Cheddar's but that's our last visit. read more

We came here for a couple of our coworkers birthdays and all I can say is WOW. Amazing food, great service and they accommodated our whole staff without a reservation which was quite impressive! Also they know how to do a real monte Christo sandwich! read more

Although I try to avoid chain restaurants this one is an exception I am willing to make. Everything is made in house and from scratch! I have never ordered anything I didn't like. you can't go wrong with the chicken strips, burger, salmon, salads and a pain killer is a must. I tend to sit in the bar and consistently have great service. Good prices for the portion sizes, just come in already! read more

Very disappointed. I heard such good things about this place..I had been wanting to try it for a while.. first we were not notified our table was ready after being on the waiting list for an hour.. the waiter told us they were out of biscuits as they kept bringing them by our table to other tables....after saying something he all of a sudden appeared with some. The food took 30 minutes to come and when we tried it it was cold and mediocre...we were also missing items. Not a great experience. Wont be going back again. read more

Have never heard of this place before and was amazed by their food. Was very very busy but they were able to still get our food out quickly. Was expecting the food to be more expensive for what we got. Definitely gained a new regular. Hope to see more open in Arizona! read more

$16:00 for 3 tacos no sides , honest very underwhelming. Had higher hopes. Just go to az taco king

Very disappointed with this restaurant, from the server to the quality of food. Ordered the spinach dip, which was the best part of the meal if you don't mind scooping it with nickel size broken chips. Commented to the waitress about the size of the chips and she shrugged her shoulders and walked away. My husband had the chicken fried steak which was so greasy, he couldn't eat it. I ordered the blackened salmon ceasar salad, and it came out grilled. Ordered a side of red beans and rice, which never came. Oh well, didn't make a fuss, but when the bill came, the red beans and rice was on it. I asked the waitress to remove the charge and was given a rude gesture as she walked away to correct it. We WON'T be going back to this restaurant. read more

The food and service is always good once you get seated, but the initial waiting/hostess area has problems. 20-30 empty tables and they have people waiting 25 minutes while they're all standing around chatting and giggling. Maybe if they didn't have 4-5 people at the hostess stand and added more servers, they could seat people faster. read more

This is my first visit to a Cheddar's (I assume it is a chain). The restaurant was very nice inside. Brick walls, tile floors, nice booths, and a nice freshwater African cichlids aquarium behind the bar. There are televisions placed throughout the restaurant. I was able to watch the Utah Jazz vs. Phoenix Suns game (the Jazz beat them, but I'm from Utah so that was a good thing. :) I ordered the queso and chips to start my meal. The queso was good. The chips were okay. A few weren't crispy. For the main course I order the 20 oz. bone-in ribeye, medium. For my sides I chose the loaded baked potato and the mac and cheese. The steak was good, a little over medium toward the ourside, but perfect near the bone. The mac and cheese was excellent. I could eat a whole bowl of the mac and cheese alone. The baked potato was cook well. Michael my waiter was great. Refills came fast. He knew the menu well and was very personable. The manager stopped by part way through my meal to make sure "everything was okay". Overall a great steak and a good meal. read more

Really good made from scratch restaurant. Super clean and friendly staff. Atmosphere is family friendly, with a little romantic vibe. Got a the smokehouse burger well done and it was still super juicy. My girlfriend got a pain killer drink and that thing was HUGE. So be prepared for good food, made from scratch with great prices. Always a great spot to eat. read more

Love this place large portions good. Service is always good. Price is very affordable!

Thanks a lot Cheddars! Thanks to your data breach, I was one of the 500,000 people impacted and my debit card has been cancelled by my bank. Fabulous... read more

Best smokey legitimate burger I've had. Could stop staying it was a good burger after every bite.

After many wistful nights staring longingly at their online menu and many canceled plans to pop into the restaurant, we finally got to dine at Cheddar's. Cheddar's serves up some great American comfort food at a decent price. The place was buzzing with activity but there were still lots of empty tables available at 6pm on a Friday night. The three of us shared the Wisconsin Cheese Bites as an appetizer. These were super delicious when they were hot out the fryer. "Melty, oozing, little clouds of cheese that's lightly battered" would be how I describe them. Even after they cooled down significantly, they were still a nice little treat. Although a bit salty, I liked them. I love cheese! My dinner companions had ribs, chicken tenders, and some sides. I tried a little bite of the ribs and they were right --- they were a little dry despite the nice glaze! I was fooled. The mac and cheese also had a weird texture. It felt a little gritty. Is it just me? Anyways, I ordered the chicken pot pie for myself and it was amazing! Crusty flaky top with big chunks of chicken with some peas, carrots, and potatoes all swimming in a creamy sauce... Oh man! It made the Painkiller cocktail go down smoothly. I also got a house salad with blue cheese dressing on the side with my pot pie and it was refreshing and delicious. I only wish there were more giant chunks of blue cheese. While I'm not entirely sold on Cheddar's and I can't say it was everything I hoped for and more, I had a lovely dinner with two of best guys in town! Would I come back? Probably. I think I want to try the chicken tenders! read more

Cheddar's is a scratch kitchen (no ready prepared food) chain originally from Texas. Chandler is the first city to get one here in AZ. I thought I'd try it out and see why they are so popular in the southern states. Great looking restaurant with some neat decor (love the aquarium). Just a little on the dark side when it comes to lighting. The server did a good job, but I didn't care for the "homemade" queso appetizer. I've made better at home and the presentation of it wasn't the greatest. But I will say the chicken tenders and the chicken fried steak were fantastic. The meat in the CFS was tender and the outside was nice and crispy. It's a nice family restaurant that fits in perfectly with Chandler culture so I give it a slight thumbs up. read more

Four solid stars. Last one missing because at times service can be slow. Hit or miss. As to the food. Great value - quantity and quality. I am picky and I will send food back. We are regulars here and only once I sent a steak back and they brought out a newly fresh grilled one. Not just heated the one sent back. That right there is quality. Love this place. Chicken fingers are handmade. Croissant and cake. Cookie are sinful. 8 ounce sirloin and 3-4 chicken fingers with two sides $14. And it's lean and good. (Example of good price for food) read more

I have been wanting to try Cheddars for quite some time now and finally had the chance last weekend. As noted in many of the reviews, the menu is stocked full of american comfort food and I certainly made sure I got my fill. We ordered the two most popular appetizers on the menu. The Wisconsin Cheese Bites and the Chips and Queso. Both were delicious!! I love baked potato soup- so gave that a try to and it was also very good. There was plenty of food so we all kind of picked at the main course dishes which consisted of the monte cristo sandwhich and the chicken tenders. Everything was really good, the restaurant was clean and the ambience comfortable. The price was what you would expect around 9$ for the meals. Only reason I didn't give the full 5 stars here was for the service. The waiter was nice but didn't check on us after taking our order. We had to grab him to get refills after I food arrived. If we order appetizers pre meal- we most likely will need those drinks refilled by the time the meal arrives. We only saw him again when he was ready to give us our check. Not a huge deal, but they werent very busy when we were there so it was a little disappointing. I will definitely go back- I would like to try the ribs and we had a good experience all in all. read more

Food was good on my end, I got the 6 oz sirloin. My boyfriend got a ribeye and coconut shrimp and his ribeye was very dry and the shrimp was warm not hot. As well as our rolled up napkins & utensils were dirty with stains on both the napkins and utensils. Our server was great tho, very attentive and brought everything out to us in a mannerly time. read more

Came here for lunch. It was a nice environment. They serve good comfort good that you are use to. I had the chicken fried chicken, huge portions and tasted great. The chicken did not loose it's crispy after smothered by the country sauce. Mash potatoes and the corn on the cob was great too. The server was good but we had to ask for new silverware due to they were dirty. read more

First time going and I gotta say this place isn't too bad. The service is great I had a really nice server that got us our food,drinks and bill pretty quick. As for the food I would say it's average or at least my entree that I got which was the New Orleans pasta fell a little short of my expectations. The croissants are soooo good however so I would suggest everyone to try those (: read more

I was super excited to try Cheddar's! I had high expectations based on the beautiful, high end finishes. Gorgeous stone and brick throughout, gas coach lights at the entry etc... the bathroom was awesome! Split face stone behind the vanity mirrors which are backlit with led lighting. You get the point, it was beautiful. I naturally expected beautiful food to go with it. We sat at the bar and were fortunate enough to be helped by Charles who was seriously fantastic! Attentive, drinks were great, super friendly, simply wonderful service. He is probably the only reason we'd give it a second try. I ordered the Philly cheese steak which was super salty, greasy and basically inedible. The cheese wasn't even quite melted. The coleslaw tasted like it was straight from KFC and I haven't stepped foot in a KFC for like 10 years and I still remember being sick from it. I really, really wanted to like it but I just couldn't. Amazing service at the bar 5 stars... food 2 stars. I may go back for a drink but that's about it. And not more than one, mind you, they were really good but also very pricy! read more

Quality of service was mediocre at best. Took 10 minutes for the server to even acknowledge we were there. She took our order and we didn't even see her at our table until we were done eating. Didn't stop by to make sure everything was okay didn't even stop by to see if we wanted refills or anything. Not very impressed at all. read more

The food was great and so was the service. I also thought the price was good for the amount we got.

The food was great. The server jaden was great. The manager not so much. We were having trouble with the payment system. Tried 3 different cards and the machine wasn't working. He told us "well I don't know what else to tell you, other than I'm gonna need another form of payment." We asked jaden to run the card on his system and not the kiosk. Jaden ran the card and it worked. Thank you jaden for being patient. Management should learn to be a bit more patient and have more solutions as their number one job is customer service. read more

Went to the Chandler location because we were given a gift card to Cheddars, the server was very friendly and gave great service. I was surprised that everything we tried was very tasty and the prices are very reasonably. I would definitely go back. read more

This is specifically for the chandler blvd location. Did pick up. Was supposed to be ready at 420 (which I get they're busy) and didn't come out til 440, which I 100% would've overlooked but my food was in take out boxes literally caked in dust where the box closes :( I just feel it's not hard to at least dust it off. Pretty gross read more

We went as a party of six to Cheddars in Chandler last night to celebrate a birthday. When we went a year ago, it was very busy, the wait was long, the food was amazing and the price was decent. Last night, we were seated right away which on a Friday night should have been our first indicator. Three of us ordered steaks, they were tough and not cooked to order. I ordered medium rare and it was cooked rare. My friend ordered her's medium and her's was rare. The broccoli cheddar side was gross, all you could taste was bread crumbs, our Caesar salad did not come mixed which I have never seen, the meat loaf dinner looked so unappetizing my son didn't even try it. My friend's bake potato and broccoli were cold. The carrot cake tasted like a boxed mix. The only part I would give five stars to were the chips and queso and the fried cheese bits. And with a bill that came to almost $175 without the tip, we should have gone to Longhorn's in Mesa. What a huge disappointment. read more

Okay so when we were house hunting in the area a few months back we accidentally came upon Cheddar's. Lucky us! We had a really good lunch there which was second only to the awesome service we received. The food tastes unique and down home style, I was surprised to find out it's a chain it was that good. Oh well, so what! It's good so we'll be seeking it out again. The food didn't take long to arrive at our table and our server was on it making sure our drinks were refilled constantly. I adored their mac n cheese. Adored. That alone will bring me back. The menu is extensive beyond belief with a ton of different types of food offerings, so it will be fun to keep trying new things. Thanks, Cheddar's, because of your server we will definitely be back! read more

After several attempts of dine in and take out from Cheddar's, I'm still stuck with and A-okay rating. Sometimes the food is amazing and everything is on point and at times they take forever and the food is on the greasier or salty side. I understand that things happen, that there are off days but maybe I've just been going way too much on their bad days? I don't know. Service has always been accommodating though, specially when they have mistakes, so at least that. Food - depends on what you get. Did not enjoy the Chicken Pot Pie but I love the Chicken Tenders and their amazing mustard sauce. On drinks I've had their Painkiler and Texas Sweet Tea(with liquor) and both were just alright. Meh. That's my rating. Sure I'll eat here but I probably won't be craving for it. read more

you don't know me but take my advice: don't order the burger. It's bland ... like frozen-patty grade school bland. chicken pot pie was decent. loaded baked potato was just ok (salt crystals would have made it better). crescent rolls w/ sweet butter were ok. chocolate fudge cake was pretty decent. and now that the store manager can figure out exactly who I am, Imma peace-out from this review. read more

First timers here & we were pretty happy. In a party of 6 and started with the spinach dip app and Texas Cheese fries were a pretty good kick off to a good meal. Our entree's were: Monte Cristo which was delicious but with a bit too much breading out balancing the inside, the Philly Cheesesteak sandwich, a little salty but good, the grilled salmon was excellent, fried fish and shrimp was devoured in minutes and Lastly, the 14oz sirloin was so good, ordered medium rare and as I was cutting pieces of it they were disappearing into other plates, I had too many roaming forks stealing pieces of a great steak, tender, juicy, flavorful and this evenings winner for us. Our waitress, Jordan, provided satisfactory service to start then it became better service as she appeared to loosen up from her earlier kinda robotic first impression. Overall, I'll be back again from SoCal in my visits to my Dad. Thank You. read more

Disappointed.... Food is way too salty!!! Chicken Fried Chicken & sides were just overwhelmingly salty. Seeing similar complaints on recent reviews. Very noisy with 2 kids at adjacent table screaming at top of lungs. read more

I was in town on business and really like cheddars last time I was in town so I wanted to check this one out. I was not disappointed. I got the Maui margarita which was just really good. I really liked that it has lines inside of it. And it also had a shot on the side. As an app we got the trio with chicken strips, cheese bites and potato skins. Everything was really cooked well. I got the Salmon dinner plate, now I know the salmon wasn't fresh off the boat but it was still pretty good. Next time I'm in town I'll be back ! read more
