    While visiting Tampa, I was looking for something quick for dinner, and my mom recommended this spot. She insisted we try the croissant, and I'm glad we did. It was delicious and definitely a highlight. For my meal, I went with the buffalo chicken wrap, which was solid. Overall, it's a nice, easy option for dinner when you don't feel like cooking.

    Catching up on reviews and Cheddars happens to be on my list. Now our server was on top of her game all night with the tables she had. Back and forth and made sure everyone was well taking care of. The inside was pretty quiet and we made sure to order quickly because of the fact that we got there an hour before they closed. I kind of doubted that the food was going to be good because I figured everyone was tired ready to go home but to my surprise it turned out fantastic. The chicken and shrimp were cooked perfectly and the tenders and fries were fried well. Great service and a great meal.

    This is about our third time coming to Cheddar's and that says something haha Very friendly staff and comfortable feeling when you walk in. Homey. Our waitress Kayleigh was great, friendly and great nails also haha One of our napkins was a bit nasty but she took care of that right away. Great vibes with her. The Honey croissants are always great. First off the mango tea was DELICIOUS!Mind blowing good, some places teas are just too much or too little even and that mango tea was PERFECT! Onto the food lol We got the spinach dip as an appetizer and the chips were a bit salty but don't think y'all can help that much. I got the country fried steak with Corn and mashed potatoes. The steak DEFINETLY shrunk naturally so there ended up being more crispy breading than meat. Not bad at all though, corn was sweet and can never go wrong with mashed potatoes. I'll try the pot pie next time. My mother got fish and shrimp and brother got chicken. All crispy fried goodness. You guys are great! Keep doing what you're doing Cheddar's because we will be back!

    This is a nice chain family restaurant with a lot of comfort food items on their menu. Start you off with complimentary fresh croissant with honey butter, which is wonderful! The home cooked meal options like grilled chicken is usually a favorite of ours.

    We LOVE dining here! We are usually seated rather quickly, the ambience is very relaxing, and the staff is always friendly. We always get the spinach dip and the number eight special. The amount of food you get for the money is really good and that's why we keep coming back, along with the friendly service.

    Can't resist stopping by and grabbing the spinach dip with extra chips when in the area. Cheddar's is a chain restaurant that offers comfort home food but with a twist. Whether dine in or cutbside pickup, service is always pleasurable and prompt from the time my order is taken to the time food is served or delivered to the car. Each meal is served with a honey butter croissant which is finger licking good. The spinach dip, although considered an appetizer and shareable, I opted to have it for dinner which always prove to be more than filling. And enough for leftovers the next day, which is why I requested extra chips for that purpose. Another satisfied curbside dining experience.

    I've visited numerous Cheddar locations in Florida and Texas and have loved the consistency, flavors and service that I have received. The restaurant in Lutz, FL near the Tampa Outlets has to be one of the best I have eaten at. The atmosphere is clean, modern and not too bright (sometimes there are places that have too much light and you see way too much). Our Server, Kayleigh, was pleasant, polite and helpful. She greeted us, took our order (she even tried to get us to order the croissants but we weren't that hungry!) and got our drinks right away. We didn't wait longer than 10 minutes than our food arrived. My wife ordered the sirloin steak, well done. I ordered a limited item, pork chops. We got corn, carrots, rice and mashed potatoes as our sides. They had not made any brown gravy yet so I didn't have any for my mash. No big deal as everything was delicious! We both finished it quickly. It was a good meal. I was able to pay at the table using their point-of-sale device. That was quick! There was no service charge added to my bill as well. Our total bill for two people was under $45. as I left a 20% tip. Overall , visit this Cheddar's location in Lutz, FL! You won't be disappointed.

    Food is always good here for the most part. No complaints. Love taking friends. And family when they visit.

    If it's a Friday night during the holiday season, use the app to wait in line. We only waited for less than 15 minutes even though it was extremely busy. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. The complimentary honey butter rolls are to die for. But beware! Don't fill up on those. Not seen here, but we ordered the spinach cheese dip with chips as our appetizer. Surprisingly it had a tiny kick to it. Red pepper flakes? My husband enjoyed his steak meal. The soup was good but could use a little less salt. The restaurant was decorated nicely for the holidays and is spacious enough to seat many.

    The service is always good at Cheddars, but the food isn't what it used to be. I miss the onion rings and old chicken nachos. So much has changed since it first opened, but it hasn't improved since day one. Stop taking the best things off the menu. It's ruining your brand.

    Friendly service, fast food and EVERYTHING was good like a home cooked meal feel!!!! Our first time here and we were treated with amazing warm, sweet butter drizzled crescent rolls! They melted in our mouth and a great way to start. We started with spinach dip and finished the whole thing, we had meatloaf, fish and chips and we took a Philly sandwich home. Again EVERYTHING was great!!!

Neither one of us had been here before but I saw it had very good reviews on Google. We both got the chicken dinner with different sides. He had the Mac and cheese and I had mashed potatoes since they were out of candied yams. We also both had yellow rice and collard greens. We also shared honey cornbread and hush puppies. Everything was VERY good!! There were a few downsides. We came on a Sunday evening and most of the food was sold out. The women who took our order said Sundays are also busy so we notated that for next time. The wait time is very long since the staff is limited. That day it looked like there were 2 or 3 people working. Lastly, I ordered a lemon poundcake and when I got home, it wasn't in the bag. I was pretty upset. The inside is nice, although very small so I would recommend getting the food to go. They don't allow call ins in advance so be prepared to wait. The staff were also very friendly. I would go back but earlier in the day and double check that all my items were in the bag.

We've now been back twice and it feels like we're a part of the family already. I want to try everything on the menu but everything we've had so far has been absolutely spot on. My wife and I both grew up in the south so sometimes there is nothing that hits like mom's home cooking. Problem is, mom is now hundreds of miles away so Yaya has brought home to us. And that is invaluable.
