    Honey Butter Croissants
    Arielle W.

    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.

    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 .

    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.

    Good food. Love their sampler. The ceaser salad is yummy as well. They give you croissants as complementary. They are yummy.

    The monte Christco yummy

    One of my happy places! Great food at reasonable prices. Always great service too. It's a total win win for me and whenever in the area it's the place I want To go the most.

    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

    First time here. Very nice. Fairly quiet. Croissant with sweet butter drizzle. We are here for deep fried Monte Cristo. I hear its the best around. Very friendly and attentive staff.

    Buffalo Chicken Wrapper
    Charles R.

    I'd love to give them a 5 star but I find it difficult when placed in a corner in the back of a restaurant that had ample seating. And wasn't busy. Furthermore food was fresh and good. The Buffalo chicken could've done without the hot ranch on the dish because dipping hot ranch into cool ranch just isn't it. The server was hot and cold on attention but it's to be expected from a establishment that I was warned "you'll get food poisoning and their servers are the absolute worst" At least he made sure my drinks were always full even if he didn't speak a word or mention who or what his name was

    POT PIE! Delicious and the staff was very friendly

    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.

    Is it Open?

My friend got the white beans soup and was quite content with that. Went a second time with two friends for dinner but was disappointed there were no booths so it was hard to buffer the noise from a long table where there were squealing children so it was not a dining hour atmosphere like we were expecting wherein we could have quiet conversation and savor Mediterranean food since it felt like a lunch room, so we had to leave before ordering, but by golly, the menu looked very appealing. 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!

The crab cakes are delicious, plenty of crab, light, and not dry yet also not mushy. Fresh, sweet tasting crab, and in substantial enough pieces that you're not searching. Not bready, bricky, or crumbly. Delicate, delicious. As East Coasters we are super picky about our crab cakes and we always get them when dining there. No joke, I sometimes dream about them! We shared the rack of lamb as our main. Well seasoned and juicy. My mom, my 3 year old, and I had plenty to eat. This particular portion size is a full rack so plenty for all of us to share. We really appreciate that they don't rub down the rack with mustard like some places--just a great spice rub. The creamed spinach and mashed potatoes were both excellent sides - solid for a steakhouse experience. Same with the iced tea - solid. Back to the kiddo: I noticed she wasn't the only young child there. This place manages to maintain a classy, elegant atmosphere even with all the kids. (There weren't nearly as many when we went for a birthday earlier in the year). But we loved that, even with the vibe of the place, they still offered children's drinks in nicely sealed cups. Relief! Restrooms were clean, hostesses and management were as pleasant and lovely as the server, food runners were prompt and thoughtful. The parking's not their fault, but it can get a little crowded out there so come early or prepare to walk a bit.

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. Totally understandable for the last seating of the night, but those were two of the dishes we were really looking forward to trying. The main reason for 1 less star. 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.
