    Honey Butter Croissants
    Greg H.

    This one's gonna be a mixed review. People period the food as usual was really good. Everything else went right into the hole prayed. So I ordered mushrooms with my sirloin steak and they did not come out. I also ordered corn as a side dish. Instead, I got rice and our server dropped by our table. Once every 15 minutes at most I was also surprised that when I ordered a mistake and shrimp combination only got 4 tiny shrimp with my order Like I said, at the beginning of this review, the food is good and the people are really friendly. But there's a lot of issues going on at that restaurant. And they need to be repaired for customer service. To stay where it should in these trying times

    Honey Butter Croissants

    Came here for dinner on a Monday night and even though it was extremely crowded, we were seated right away. Our waitress was nice, but did not come around to us a lot, so the surface was very slow. It took a very long time for our food to come out, I would say longer than normal for a busy Monday evening. The croissants were delicious, and her food was very good as well. It was also extremely loud in the area of the restaurant that we were sitting in, and it got worse as our meal progressed.

    Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5 5/5 on the honey butter croissants!! Recommended dishes- the grilled salmon Our steak came out a little under to how we liked it but they had no issues with making it right for us :) Noise level- easy to talk, family setting.

    Meatloaf & chicken fried steak weren't very good, nothing had any seasoning, taste like hospital food, meatloaf is really strange taste, salad was delicious & service was great Chicken fried steak was a lot of breading.

    We were having an adventure in North Phoenix and it was past lunch so we decided to stop at Cheddar's because the parking lot was packed! (That's always a good sign.) We were greeted and seated immediately. Kiana was our waitress and she was very sweet, cheerful AND helpful as we made our selections for lunch. The food was fresh and delicious. I prefer my chicken a little more well done and it came exactly the way I like it. The portions were generous, and we each took a large serving home . Cheddars offers a honey croissant at the beginning of a meal ... which is an interesting twist and is delicious. A little like having dessert first The ambience was pleasant with plenty of space to move between tables. The chairs and tables were comfortable. Booths were an option. What we noticed was there was a lot of laughter among staff from the kitchen ... so they must enjoy each other and working together! We will definitely be back next time we're in the area .

    Chips and Salsa w/ Honey Butter Croissant

    Went to this location last night. We have never been to Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen and figured it would be a great place to dine for our 29th Wedding Anniversary. Parking lot was full but we did not wait long for a parking space. We thought this was a good sign. Seating was available despite the crowd. We visited this location around 4:30pm but they were busy. We were usher to a booth quickly but the seating was very narrow and quite uncomfortable (I'm built like an Offensive Lineman; tall and thick). There were no tables available with chairs. Despite being by in a booth next to a wall, it was a but noisy and was a challenge to hold a conversation at the table. Server was quick to the table. Being our first time and our anniversary, we informed our server as such and she provided some decent recommendations for appetizers. Our order: 1. Appetizer Trio (queso w/ chips, spinach dip, and cheddar fries with bacon); 2. Wife: 8oz Sirloin (Medium) with house salad (blue cheese dressing) and Broccoli Cheddar Casserole with Coke Zero. 3. Me: 8oz Sirloin (Medium) with sautéed mushrooms and onions, house salad (vinaigrette), and Broccoli Cheddar Casserole with Strawberry Lemonade/Water. Appetizers: served quickly. Quality was okay but not for the price. Was served hot but the queso was already coagulating on the top (nothing a good stir doesn't fix) as was the queso on the cheddar fries. House salads: served second with chilled fork. Salad was pleasantly crisp and chilled. Serving size of dressing was appropriate. Entree: did not take long to arrive (roughly 15-20 minutes). However, we were a but disappointed as my wife's sirloin was fatty with a huge tendon through it. It also was not cooked Medium as requested by Medium Rare (extremely bloody). The steak was hot as was her Broccoli Cheddar Casserole. Mine was very disappointing. My steak was cooked to Medium as requested but was not hot (more room temp) and my Broccoli Cheddar Casserole was cold. The sautéed mushrooms and onions were not served hot either. I even had my wife taste to confirm. We offered our feedback to our server (we never caught her name; we don't even remember her offering it). We were really disappointed to be told this location was having issues with back of house kitchen staff being consistent with quality of orders. Total bill: 67.34 plus $13.51 tip (we always give generously despite the level of service/quality of food) totaling $80.94. Overall satisfaction: food was mediocre at best, ambiance was "okay", but our Server was fast and friendly.

    I stopped by with the family to have a yummy dinner, we were greeted right away and there was a little of a wait but not horrible! It was about 5 minutes or so, so that was great! I love the ambiance in here, love the fish tank they have in here! The service is always so great as well. Our server was super nice and attentive. I love their croissants they give as starters with the honey butter it is delicious! We also always start with the Wisconsin Cheese Bites with ranch and they home make their ranch I believe and it is soo soo good! I'm picky with my ranch and theirs is soo goooood! For my meal I got the Number 8 meal it is a chicken tender plate and I get mashed potatoes with brown gravy and buttered corn, yum! Then my mom got the 6 OZ fire grilled sirloin steak with mashed potatoes with brown gravy and buttered corn! Looked delicious! Then my son got a kids burger with french fries. My mom's friend got the beer battered fish with Shrimp with the loaded mashed potatoes and homemade queso and bacon french fries. Everything was yummy and smelt amazing!

    So good

    Do you guys serve actual food? Or just crap like all the other chains? The food here looks highly processed.

    Pretty dumb question. You should probably just not go. With that attitude, you won't like it.

    Do you have happy hour?

    As per the employees, there is no Happy Hour. However, there should be! They have a very nice bar area and I would consider coming back for a Happy Hour.

We would have sat outside which is a very pleasant area but it was too windy. This area eventually could be even better if enhanced with the wall fountain functioning, and maybe even a central cooling fountain added as well, along with plantings like cypress and dwarf palms to add to the ambiance. This place has the potential for being THE go-to oasis in Sun City and I can envision it being a regular spot to meet up with friends over cool minty drinks with or without a meal. What puts it above many outdoor dining areas around here is that it is set back enough from Bell Road so the traffic sound is not overwhelming and thankfully lacks that annoying "whoosh." May the oasis come to pass!

Parking was a bit tough with some of the construction and that also had me concerned that we wouldn't be able to be seated quick however this place has tons of seating.

Given a few menus and then some waters though the drinks looked really delicious just wasn't a good time but next time. We ordered the brussel sprouts as an appetizer and the short rib ragu pappardelle. Unfortunately they both came at the same time but small mistakes shouldn't be overblown especially when Megan our waitress was extremely attentive and awesome. Brussels were okay nothing special but that short rib was FIRE! We asked for the horseradish crème friache on the side and honestly was a great call. Not because it was to spicy which was the concern for my wife avoiding it but because the meal was perfect without it! Very excited to come back and maybe catch a few other things to taste maybe even on HappyHour at the bar.

Food arrives, quick check-in. Then... gone. We sat there another 20 minutes just trying to pay, basically held hostage waiting for the check. At one point, we flagged down another employee, a woman with a choker and a forearm tattoo, and asked if we could pay. She said, "I'll find him." Spoiler, she didn't. Meanwhile, Houdini magically reappears to drop off dessert at the table next to us, then pulls off a tactical spin move to avoid eye contact with our table entirely. Impressive, honestly. Eventually, a new table gets seated next to us and suddenly, poof, he's back. But instead of helping us, he goes straight into a pitch about the lobster queso (which, by the way, wasn't very good). We finally had to flag down a host who literally told our waiter we just wanted to leave. After about two hours in what can only be described as mediocre restaurant purgatory, we were finally able to pay and get out. Bottom line, slow service, poor attention, and food that doesn't make up for it. Not worth it.

The bartender was friendly and attentive, and took our order quickly. By the time we arrived they had already sold out of the bone marrow small plate and the tomahawk steak.

It's a cool little spot for drinks and a gourmet bite. The kitchen, bar, and seating area are fairly compact. Even though the kitchen is ventilated, you can still feel a bit of the heat and smoke coming off the grill. We ordered the grilled romaine salad (they do charge a small upcharge if you split plates), along with the bao buns and the wagyu meatballs. Everything was well presented, tasty. Overall, a great option for the west side if you're looking for elevated bar bites and good drinks. My tip: grab an earlier reservation if you can, so you have a better chance at the popular dishes before they sell out.
