Was extremely happy to see a cheddars locally and visit since ones out north no longer exists it seems. Went on a Sunday evening it wasn't hard to get a table . Went were seated in the bar area pretty fast and a hostess was provided upon arrival . I started with the ultimate buttery croissants which was always a fan favorite and definitely still lived up to the hype for me. I did try for the Texas margarita raspberry it was pretty OK nothing too particular. For food I went with the combination platter which included the steak in tenders and broccoli casserole. Cheddars is definitely a place that is with good pricing for a sitdown restaurant you can enjoy with friends and family so I don't expect it to be amazing but everything was pretty good. read more

This is a restaurant I have wanted to eat at for a long time. It is a comfortable place to eat. The hostess and server were very welcoming. I went with my daughter for lunch. Our pleasant server brought out warm croissants within two minutes of our arrival. I munched on one. It was pretty good. Next we ordered chips and queso dip. We added beef and that is complimentary. This was a great appetizer but filling. By the time I got to my meal, I was already somewhat full. The fried (classic) chicken sandwich was good. It is a good size and the fries were ok. I like Cheddar's and plan to visit again. I would like to try the burger next time. read more

I walked into Cheddar's and was amazed by the aquarium. It set the right tone for the visit. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere. It is hard to describe but I felt like I was back in Colorado. I liked it. This is a restaurant that has lots of entree choices. You can definitely find something you like. Our server was great at her job and even looked like someone from a show I watch. She brought over croissants with frosting within a minute or two of us sitting down. I am not a croissant person for some reason. These were ok but you can't really go by me. We started with the chips and queso. You can add beef free of charge and we did. This is served with salsa on the side which is ok. I did really enjoy the queso. It was flavorful and served real hot. I ordered the classic chicken sandwich with fries. The sandwich was awesome. It is served with tasty pickle chips on the sandwich. I don't love all fried chicken but this is just right for me. The fries were good. I have a feeling they are real good but they seemed like they were sitting around a bit. Yet they were hot. I look forward to coming back here. This is comfort food and the service was great. The value cannot be beat for lunch. read more

Cheddar's offers great food at reasonable prices in an upscale atmosphere, along with very attentive servers.

We Came on a Tuesday around 6:30. We were told to wait as they found us a table but the restaurant was completely empty. However, we still sat down quickly and got waters as soon as we sat as well as the honey butter croissants. Our waitress was new to the restaurant but she was very knowledgeable about the menu and suggested some items to us. She was attentive and friendly. The restaurant is very big inside with plenty of seating and a bar area. We started with the Wisconsin cheese bites. I can tell the ranch sauce is made from scratch because it was delicious. I then had the chicken tender platter that comes with two sides and my fiancé had the buffalo chicken wrapper. The chicken tender platter is a decent size. I got French fries and coleslaw as my sides. The platter was so huge I couldn't finish it! My fiancé thought the buffalo chicken wrapper was great. My fiancé always talks about coming to this restaurant years ago and how good it was- that was still true this visit. It was my first time coming here, but definitely not my last. read more

This location can be hit or miss as far as service goes. Usually it starts off strong and then the server disappears at the end of the meal. The restaurant itself is large and clean. Food for the most part is great. We have had mostly good meals here with the occasional "off" night. We really like that it's priced fairly and you get a large portion. Hard to come by these days. Their buffalo chicken wrap is my favorite! read more

Extremely unprofessional service from management. I placed an online order using Apple Pay, and the money was taken from my account. At pickup, their system glitched and only showed a balance of 9 cents. I showed the staff live proof of payment on my bank app, and they brought out the manager. Instead of helping, the manager completely passed the buck, claimed it wasn't their system's fault, and told me to call my bank while demanding I pay again. A restaurant system showing "9 cents" for a full meal is an obvious computer glitch, and the manager's refusal to help or verify the order is pathetic customer service. I had to leave without my food and file a bank dispute. Avoid this location; management is completely incompetent. The worker name is Sydney R. Cardello. read more

Came or the first time for dinner I had been to a Cheddars in Mississippi and was very happy to see one here in Fl and it did not disappoint. The service we received from being seated by the hostess to being served by out server was exceptional. The restaurant very clean and the vibe very family oriented . We were served complementary honey butter croissant which were amazingly delicious. We started with cocktails we were recommended the special watermelon margarita mt daughter had hers on the rocks I had the frozen very big serving and a phenomenal price.. We ordered for diner the bourbon salmon and shrimp. and the Rack of ribs which the meat fell off the bone and seasoned and cooked perfectly For the boys we ordered the chicken tender and fries platter and the 6 ounce sirloin which was perfectly cooked. The dessert, was also amazing we ordered the chocolate cake and the apple pie with a scoop of ice cream on the side. both of the desserts were very good. I was taken back when the bill came as the prices are amazing for the portions and amount of food we ordered, you cant beat that for a great experience. much better than most restaurant around. I will definitely recommend and I will come be back to try the other items in the menu. read more

We went on the hunt for a chicken fried steak, and the only place offering one in Hallandale Beach was Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen and we're so glad we found it. The restaurant was clean very welcoming. Our waitress was incredibly sweet and attentive. The food was outstanding: the chicken fried steak was perfectly cooked, and the chicken fried chicken was just as good--crispy, flavorful, and satisfying. And whatever you do, do not skip the honey butter croissants. They're warm, soft, and downright addictive. Definitely worth the stop. read more

My family and I love this place, and tonight we stopped in for a late dinner together. Shortly after being seated, the warm complimentary pastry topped with honey butter arrived -- and it's yummy each and every time! Honestly, that alone already puts you in a good mood. We ordered the scratch-made chicken (which is always juicy and flavorful) along with a few sides, and everything was comforting, filling, and hit the spot after a long day. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the food feels like real home-style cooking. Service was friendly and relaxed, which made it an easy, enjoyable family dinner. Giving 4 stars instead of 5 just because the wait was a little longer than expected and a couple dishes could've been a touch hotter -- but nothing that would stop us from coming back. Definitely a go-to spot for casual comfort food with the family beautiful restaurant clean and great atmosphere read more

It was just me i was sat in a booth which i asked for it. Greg was my server he was great. The food was good. Salmon with rice and two sides orders. I did broccoli and cheese and mashed potatoes it was good. I had an ice tea told him unsweetened but to put a bit of watermelon sweetener. I had no dessert because I was too full. Everything was good and tasty. Highly recommend this location. I have been to the one in kendall down south and the food is not that good. Differently will come back to one location in Pembroke pines. read more

We did not have the best experience. I took my father to Cheddars for lunch. The only reason I gave this 2 stars was because they had technology that let us pay our check on the device at the table. We ordered a Monte Crisco sandwich and an order of onion rings. The food was terrible. They over fried the rings and the sandwich in old oil. We showed one of the managers our meal and he agreed and said he would talk to kitchen. We never saw him again. We showed and told our waiter our food and he said he was sorry for the way our food came out. The staff never offered to make our order right. Now for my pet peeve, my ice tea glass was empty the entire meal, and the waiter never came back to fill it. Poor service, overcooked food, and not an appropriate response to our complaint. The restaurant was clean and not too loud. I do not see myself going back anytime soon. This was not the experience we were expecting. read more

Always fresh and tasty. Didn't like the meatloaf unfortunately. But everything read terrific.

This restaurant turned out to be a pretty great surprise for a casual date night. The place smells clean the moment you walk in and has a warm, inviting vibe with that fish tank . The reception staff seated us quickly, and our waitress wasted no time bringing drinks and our appetizer. We started with the creamy spinach and chips, rich, flavorful, and with just enough kick to keep you dipping long after you're full. Definitely a must-try. For the main course, we had the Southern fried chicken with gravy, mashed potatoes, and green beans. The chicken was freshly fried and bursting with flavor. The green beans looked like they might have come from a can, but somehow they were super soft and still delicious. The shrimp pasta Alfredo, however, could've used a little more zing, it was good, just a bit shy on personality. We washed everything down with the $3 Bud Light special and a house margarita. The margarita did show up with a sugar rim instead of the salt we asked for... and our server didn't offer to swap it out. Oh well we survived . Overall, the food is what makes this place shine, and it's good enough to bring us back again. Next time we'll just double-check the salt. read more

Came here for the first time for a pre Mother's Day dinner and I was not disappointed. First the service from the hostess to our server was excellent. The restaurant does have a chain restaurant vibe but very open and clean. The complementary honey butter croissant was delicious. To start we had the special watermelon margarita on the rocks which was only $6 !! Big cup very yummy. For diner I had the bourbon salmon and shrimp. I'm very happy that the bourbon sauce was put on the side as it was very spicy so I only put a little bit on my food. Everything on my plate was well seasoned and cooked perfectly. My mom had the barbecue ribs which the really fell off the bone and she mentioned that they were also well seasoned and perfect. My oldest had the chicken tender and fries platter which again he enjoyed I tried them and they were not overly salty. And my little one had the 6 ounce sirloin which again I ordered the medium well and it was perfectly cooked. For dessert, we both had the chocolate cake as well as the apple fritter both the desserts were very yummy. I was completely shocked when I saw the bill since with everything it was very economical and I would say cheaper than dinner at Denny's and the quality was better than you every day chain restaurant. I would definitely recommend and I will definitely be back. read more

The food at Cheddars was very good. They give you a lot of food for sure! But, those croissants ! Omg !!! I could just eat them as meal by themselves! They are so "melt in your mouth" and warm, drizzled with a warm sugared butter (I'm drooling ). The waitress was very attentive and we even got a show while we we there. I won't get into that, because it was actually a scene from a disgruntled customer. But, all in all it was a very nice experience and the food was delicious. Very warm and inviting restaurant. read more

Cheddar's is a chain of American comfort food restaurants based in Irving, Texas. It was founded in 1979 in Arlington, Texas by Aubrey Good and Doug Rogers. The couple asked a fifth grade for restaurant named suggestions and they came up with Cheddar's. Today the chain is owned by Darden Restaurants and they have grown to over 180 locations in 28 states, many in the south and Midwest. I have been a Cheddar's fan ever since I discovered the chain 20 years ago in Georgia. When I got back to Florida I was a regular customer of the Tamarac location until they sadly closed during Covid. I had a lot of great Cheddar's memories including coming here after church with my daughter to enjoy their ribs. The two Cheddar's menu items I absolutely crave are the broccoli cheese casserole and the honey butter croissants. The rest of the menu is quite large with many chicken, fish, beef, salad, and pasta entrees. They have a full bar with lots of tasty drinks and cocktails. The chicken pot pie is another favorite and you can never go wrong with the skillet chocolate chip cookie brought out to your table warm with vanilla ice cream. Reminiscing about how much I missed the food here, I decided to get lunch on a day I had off from school from the Cheddar's Pembroke Pines location. The restaurant is close to I-75 and Pines Blvd making it easy to reach. Unfortunately I wasn't going to make it in time for the lunch specials so I just ordered it online. The process could not have been easier. I just picked out what I wanted and when the food was ready they texted me a link to check in. After I arrived I checked in, let them know my parking spot number, and they brought it out. Kathy even called me to see if I needed help when I was running a few minutes late. For $10 I got their delicious chicken pot pie with chunks of white meat chicken, peas, and carrots in a flavorful gravy and topped with a layer of puff pastry. My meal also included a side and of course I picked the broccoli cheese casserole and they even added a honey butter croissant. Everything was as wonderful as I remembered. The food at Cheddar's is delicious and a good value for your money. Whether you are enjoying your meal in their inviting brick and wood dining room or taking it to go, Cheddar's is a place for reliable, comforting food without spending a fortune. read more

Say at the bar....10 minutes before they took out order. 40 minutes after and no appetizers?! We saw 2 drinks that were served that sat on the bar for 25 minutes before they were taken to customers...they were returned. The place was not even full!! Place looked like a good place for a good night out. Was very disappointed! read more

This Cheddar's is on the corner of Dykes & Pines Blvd, in the same plaza as the Crunch gym. I always pass by as this is my go-to gym and make a note to eat one day and finally got to during a dinner with a friend. It was pouring rain and the staff was super friendly and welcoming as we came in. We got seated right away and our server was fairly attentive. I think he was on the younger side as he didn't know much about if they had certain drinks or what certain beers were. They serve croissants with bread as their starters that comes to every table and this is definitely different. I'm not used to having croissants as a starter, only used to having them as a breakfast pastry or dessert so, again, very different. I ordered the chicken alfredo and my friend got the steak. As far as dinner goes, definitely pretty normal for restaurants like this. Nothing stood out but it was pretty good. The server did forget our drinks for a bit, noticing that our food came out before drafts or bottled beers but that's okay. Overall, a pretty good spot if you're looking for a normal dinner with friends or family. It's also in a pretty good location but parking is shared with the gym and the rest of the plaza's businesses. read more

I've driven by Cheddar's a few times but never actually treated myself to a visit inside. Until now! Cheddar's is a great place to come to if you're looking for good bites at an even better price. I got the 6oz sirloin with grilled shrimp combo, which comes with 2 sides (I got the steamed broccoli and baked potato). The steak was cooked just how I like it and the grilled shrimp were delicious and flavorful. The broccoli was delicious too, as was the baked potato which you can't go wrong with. On top of this, you get Cheddar's famous croissants to start, which is topped with a sweet honey butter. Our server was newly trained yet delivered friendly and fantastic service. All in all, Cheddar's is a real treat that you shouldn't wait any longer to try. read more

This is usually one our favorite comfort food places to go for us. We visit often and the servers know us usually. In fact even management knows us as well. We had the pleasure of being attended by Simon an absolute delight detailed and courteous. Unfortunately our experiences n other occasions have fallen short attention and detail. Therefore we may not visit for a bit we are just tired of the lack of service lately. Although with this said Simon was an exception to our visit on January 18, 2025. Thank you Simon for your attention to detail. Cheers all! Enjoy! read more

This place had great service and good food. We went on a Sunday afternoon for lunch and the service was great our waitress had drinks and our appetizer order put in quickly. The onion rings were probably the best onion rings i've ever had. They were a bit greasy but the crunch on them was amazing. I also ordered a six ounce steak with mashed potatoes and a Caesar salad. The only disappointing part of my meal was the salad it had a bit of an off taste. Definitely somewhere i'd try again! read more

Loved this place! Upon sitting down you get these delicious honey drizzled breads that remind me what you used to get at an old restaurant called Hops but even better. The food portions are a nice size that you will have some to go. The service was nice and relaxed from the hostess to the manager. I loved that you were able to eat and hear the person you were dinning with and not having to speak loud. When I was there I saw 2 large parties so it seems to be popular for that. read more

This was my first time eating at any Cheddar's location. The inside is very large, very modern looking. There are several large seating areas and a bar. The televisions were playing sports networks. To start, my party got the cheese curds. It's my understanding that you also get complimentary croissants but we never got them..? The cheese curds were very good but they're essentially just small mozzarella sticks so pretty hard to mess up. The sodas we ordered were all watered down / weak so their machine definitely needed a fix. However, the strawberry lemonade was very good. It comes with a strawberry topping/inclusion and it was super good and with free refills. To eat, my party got the chicken and shrimp (with mashed potatoes and house salad), the grilled chicken and shrimp (with corn and house salad) and the meatloaf (with a baked potato and coleslaw). Most of the meals come with 2 sides and the salads are .99 cents extra. They were pretty good, pretty basic. The salads also come out before the rest of your meal. For the actual dishes, she grilled shrimp were pretty decent. They come with a small portion of rice (though the menu doesn't say that). They were pretty blackened so if you do not like your food that grilled you might want to request that they grill it lightly. The chicken was pretty decent as well. The most comparable thing to it would be the chicken crispers from Chilis. The meatloaf, however, was pretty below-average. It tastes exactly like a lean cuisine meatloaf. Overall, the service was very good and attentive but I would not come back here for a meal. I could see myself coming in the future for appetizers and drinks only since their lemonade was very good and their cheese bites were as well. Otherwise, this place pales in comparison to Chili's and I'd rather go there. read more

Cheddars is not new but new to West Pines so we had to give it a shot! We walked in around lunch time and were surprised how empty the place was, but I'm never mad at that because it normally means service is quick and it definitely was! Cheddars has ab upscale family establishment type vibe. Very clean, big wood bar, lots of tables on two different sides of the building. We sat down quick and our server came over to take our drink orders. After a few minutes of looking it over we were ready to put the orders in. We tried the baked potato soup, cheese curds, buffalo chicken wrap, cheeseburger, chicken fried chicken and their honey butter croissants. From my understanding they are known for these croissants and while i wasn't impressed the rest of my family devoured them! Baked potato soup was creamy, filled with flavors and topped with LOTS of bacon! The cheese curds were borderline perfect. Crispy on the outside, squeaky cheese on the inside and seasoned just right. The buffalo chicken wrap was MASSIVE! It's very hard to find a meal that i can't finish and after half of this wrap i was STUFFED!!!! Lots of great flavor. Chicken was cooked right, buffalo sauce amount was good and lots of crunch from the veggies. Would definitely order again. The chicken fried chicken was another win. Wasn't my dish but i was told it was crunchy on the outside, tender and moist on the inside and was an all around home run. Only dish that didn't really deliver was the bacon burger. It looked good coming out but it was overcooked, under seasoned and just a bland boring burger. I think we will definitely be back to Cheddars to try more of the menu! read more

Let's talk about it. First time here? Checked all the boxes. Since then, it's like the place lost power and started freefalling. Slow service, food cooked incorrectly, and the flavor took a vacation.

Me and my family had only been to Cheddar's once and this was during a trip to Orlando. The food was really delicious and we remembered how the price was not so bad, so was a suggestion for us to go again. 6 months ago, we had an impromptu plan to meet up with our family friends and our kids who are all the same age. The ambiance in the restaurant was great and they set us in a perfect spot for us and our total of 6 kids with lots of energy and excitement to enjoy ourselves. It was not as busy as we recall when we found out about this location months back and they were too busy for us to wait. Our server, Kenika M, was awesome. She was so attentive of us and our kids and very patient and helpful. She brought out some honey butter croissants for the table and they were so warm and delicious. I had the New Orleans Pasta which has shrimp, chicken, and sausage which was awesome with the Cajun flavored Alfredo sauce. I had the limited addition Strawberry Paradise Punch but it was blah. You can't taste any vodka or anything else. Was more lunch a regular strawberry fruit punch so I don't recommend as it would be a waste. My Hubby had the homemade chicken pot pie and said it was so good. He had that with the broccoli cheese casserole and ate it up so quickly. Definitely looking forward to coming back here to try other menu items such as a T-bone steak!!! read more
