I hadn't been to cheddars in a while, so when I saw that it was reopened in Brandon, Florida, I had to stop in. I have the best service. My steak and shrimp dinner was amazing. I really enjoyed the complementary croissant! Overall, the restaurant was nice and clean and inviting made for a nice meal. I will definitely be going back! read more

The menu has a lot of variety, and the portions are generous, but the food itself was a bit inconsistent. Some dishes tasted fresh and comforting, while others felt more like standard chain restaurant fare without much depth. read more

Overall experience was great. We had a really nice waitress. She was attentive and very pleasant, helping us make decisions. The ambiance of this current Cheddar's restaurant is still being well maintained. Ordered the fish and chips. Lunch special for $10.99. I can also order a pain killer cocktail read more

Came here on a Friday night. We made reservations via the waitlist tab on their website. We ended up waiting less than 10 minutes. It wasn't too crowded but you can tell it was picking up. I ordered the bourbon glaze salmon and shrimp with broccoli cheese casserole and a loaded potato. My kids got the chicken tender and cheeseburger kids meal. My husband got the ribs and fried shrimp with a side of fries and corn. All meals were great portion sides. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. It looks like they have great teamwork on busy days to help each other out. You definitely get the best bang for your buck here. read more

Stopped in with my parents for a small get together. Lots and lots and lots of empty tables and booths and she gives us a 4-top right next to the kitchen entrance. A polite request for something away from the kitchen was made and off to another table/booth we went. Our server was 'Kevin' and he was awesome. On top of our order, refilling drinks without our asking, and checking in from time to time. Fried shrimp was good. Salmon wasn't the best but the bourbon sauce was really good. Key West Chicken and shrimp was warm and almost went back but et' it anyway. Overall a decent visit. read more

Food is always good here. Our service is hit or miss. We were carbing up for a race but I have to say this chicken was amazing!

My partnered and I ordered curbside pick up for dinner. The pick up process was quick however part of the order was inaccurate. I ordered two sides to include beans and rice but beans were no where to be found. I also felt like the croissants were good but not fresh compared to a prior order I've had. I do appreciate the portion sizes are pretty good though and the meals are usually tasty. read more

Cheddar's is hands down my favorite casual restaurant. The service is always friendly and consistent, and the prices are super affordable for the quality and portion sizes you get. Every meal starts off strong with their warm, flaky honey butter croissant; it's free and absolutely delicious. The onion rings are a must order every time, perfectly crispy and stacked high. I've tried a variety of entrees from pastas to steaks to seafood, and I've never been disappointed. And if you're not finishing your meal with the legendary Cookie Monster sundae, you're seriously missing out. It's the perfect sweet ending to a great dining experience. read more

For my second time ever eating at Cheddar's, I've fairly enjoyed my meal every time. Ken at the Bloomingdale location is amazing, his energy feels like he could be related to me. Great lunch and drink specials read more

I really enjoyed eating at Cheddar's in Riverview, Fl. I have made a return appearance at the same location, once for Dinner and another time for lunch. The service was excellent as my waitress made me feel special, with the various food and drink suggestions! As for the painkiller. I only had one! Two would have definitely been more than I could have handled. The atmosphere was cozy and quaint! I only wish we had one close to where I live! Still this will be a favorite when I travel out of town again. read more

So I've been watching the reviews for this locations because o wasn't to sure if I wanted to try them so instead of dining in we Placed an order online for Togo. We got the Chicken tender family meal with sides of chose red beans and rice and fries. The order also came with their famous honey butter rolls. For the tenders dipping sauce with tried the honey hot I believe it was called anyways well drove up to the pick up area which our order was ready when we got there. Got home and everything smelled good looked fine until we started eating. I had noticed some of the pieces of chicken had a smell different than others and the chicken was very stringy. And the red beans and rice were extremely overcooked not very pleasant and the fries were fine. But the next morning we were all sick to our stomachs except my daughter who fortunately was the only one who didn't eat any of the chicken! The quality of their food was not good at all. read more

This is my second time dining at Cheddars, not this location the first time but another one. This one just opened and my wife convinced me to give the business at second chance. And I'm glad I did. I had the chicken fried chicken with mash potatoes and beans and rice. It was so much food and it was delicious. My wife had the grilled salmon with broccoli, carrots and rice and my mother in-law had the sirloin with a half slab of ribs with mash and green beans. We all loved what we ordered and we shared off of each others plates. I liked the ribs so I'll be getting those next time while my wife liked the beans and rice and she said that she'd order that next time. Oh and the bread the provided before our meal was warm croissants with what appeared to be an apple or honey butter. The cost for the three of us was about what my wife and I would spend if it was just the two of us. I strongly recommend this location but pack your patience cause it was a long wait ( 20-30 minutes ) Enjoy!!! read more

Welcome Back to Brandon-Riverview Area!! It's like an old friend that comes home. Cheddar's delivers great food, service, and an atmosphere that is delightful. Family friendly but I thoroughly enjoyed the bar area for dinner and drinks. The service was swift and the quality of the food was the same as in the past. Great Food and Service. read more

I feel I should give an update on this venue. I went there a few weeks ago to redeem my birthday desert offer and was very happy with everything. The bartender did a great job and was very friendly and engaged. The food was spot-on; no complaints this time. The entire restaurant seemed much more friendly and engaged. Good job to the leadership/management for the big uptick in all-around quality. I'll give it another go in few weeks. read more

It's surprisingly better than the old Brandon location. I don't even remember seeing the honey butter croissants on their menu, much less getting a complimentary one before the meal. They are flaky, buttery, & delicious! We arrived at a time between lunch and dinner. It's apparently popular because most of the tables were pretty much taken with the exception of the high tops in the bar. We ended up with a half booth table in the bar near the kitchen. It's been 7 years since we've been to Cheddar's. That's about when the Brandon location closed down. I remember it mostly for the stacked onion rings. It took a while to reacquaint ourselves with the menu. We decided to pass on the rings since we had the croissants. By the way, you can get 2 more croissants for $1.99 (if desired). I was pretty much set on getting the Country Fried Chicken. My husband selected the Country Fried Steak. Both are served with 2 sides and Texas toast. I love that the chicken and steak are hand-breaded. They definitely tasted fresh. Especially my husband's fried steak. It was served hot, and tasted even better than the one that we like at Texas Roadhouse. The breading was thankfully not as salty as the latter one. The Broccoli Cheese Casserole was very cheesy. It was good despite not having too much broccoli. The Idaho Mashed Potatoes are kind of bland, but I appreciated having the country gravy on top. I'd probably skip the mashed potatoes and go with a side salad next time. Other than that, the service was very good and our food arrived in a good amount of time. It's located in the same shopping plaza as Target on Bloomingdale in Riverview. They also give military discounts. Yay! We will return. I want to get the Country Fried Steak. It was good to see my husband finally get the better dish, no matter how much it tempted me. read more

Of course the croissants are amazing but the burgers have a weird texture that I did not enjoy. Also the salt shaker was dirty and clumped inside the lid so I had to clean it out to use it. Should probably add that to the daily side work. Not the experience I was hoping for. read more

First time at Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen, and it was a disappointing experience. The food was okay, but nothing special. We ordered the bacon cheeseburger, sirloin steak, and penne pasta. We were seated right away, but it took over 20 minutes for our waitress to take our drink and appetizer order. The appetizer came out within about 10 minutes, but the drinks took even longer--we didn't receive them until after we had already finished the appetizer. Our food took over 45 minutes to arrive at the table. Overall, the food was just okay at best and not worth the long wait. read more

Good salad. Good pork chops although bourbon glaze was watery & salty. However the extra glaze I brought home in chop take out box was like it should be - thick. read more

Decided on Cheddar's for dinner and hot seated right away. I ordered the fried shrimp and rib combo. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and quite large. The half rack of ribs were absolutely huge and the meat fell off the bone. There was an insane amount of meat on these ribs and they were not overly coated with bbq sauce. It was just enough. The two sides were well seasoned French fries and buttered corn off the cob. read more

Our visit to Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen in Riverview was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Despite hearing that this newer location had received some mixed reviews, our experience was completely the opposite. The service was excellent, the food was delicious, and the drinks were on point. We visited around 1-2 PM when it was relatively quiet, and everything came out quickly. Most of the food was fresh and flavorful--especially the entrees. The only minor issue was the French fries, which tasted like they had been sitting out a bit. Aside from that, everything else was spot-on. Highly recommend giving this location a try--you might be pleasantly surprised like we were! read more

Service was great, we had Missy and she was awesome and very prompt. The place was clean and well lit, definitely a good atmosphere. The food, well... my husband got ribs and he enjoyed them thoroughly and was raving about them. I got my favorite, the Monte Cristo, which is usually really good. This time, however, it was overcooked and way smaller than it usually is. The carrots were lukewarm. My daughter got the cheese fries but they were hard and not all that appetizing. I was disappointed in the food this time. read more

I don't believe I've ever had a bad meal at this restaurant. The service is always bend exceptional. The food comes out fast and I appreciate all the free stuff on there website when you sign up. read more

Ok, maybe it's just too new but this Cheddars has a LONG way to go before it will be part of my dining out rotation. There wasn't an experienced server on the floor. It was barely 75% full and while we didn't wait for a table, they weren't off to a good start with a 10 minute wait to be seen at the table. The food was barely so-so. The chips were clearly a couple of days old, the croissants were cold and flat. Our food and drinks arrived at totally different times. I overheard three tables complaining - one asked for the manager. They got a free appetizer to make up for their slow service and cold food. It felt like a fast food dining at Disney during a shift change. I had such high hopes for this much anticipated restaurant. read more

Finally had the chance to bring my family here. Was excited after years and years of waiting after their previous location closed. Now it was very slow and took a very long time for our food to be served. But that's understandable knowing that they are only a few days open and still trying to find their rhythm. Now as for the food everything was pretty good. Flavor spot on and pretty tasty for the most part. The green beans are a little too sweet for my taste but other than that, all good! read more

My wife and I stopped in for dinner tonight. What an amazing experience. Our waitresses name was Lauren she was absolutely amazing. We love Cheddar's when it was in Brandon before. And absolutely love it now. Onion rings season to perfection. My wife had to shrimp alfredo pasta she absolutely loved it. She rated at 9.5. onion rings absolutely a 9.5. had to shrimp and chicken tender platter with green beans and coleslaw. Green beans absolutely amazing coleslaw perfect chicken tenders and shrimp go to perfection that's a 9.5 easy. We absolutely will be back cannot wait to try couple other riders. If you're in the area Riverview around Bloomingdale you absolutely have to stop and try this place. This place absolutely deserves five stars. 9.5 experience all the way through. read more

Visited your restaurant on December 7, 2024. Food: I thoroughly enjoyed my Monte Cristo, and my guests were delighted with their meals. Price: The prices seemed reasonable. I paid $12.99 for my sandwich which came with fries. With tip, the total price for the three of us for lunch was nearly $60. Service: Unfortunately, service is where this restaurant was seriously lacking. Our beverage and meal orders were taken relatively soon after being seated. We received our drinks shortly afterwards. We then waited over twenty minutes before the waiter reappeared only to tell us that he was sorry about the delay in our food, they were short on cooks and they were finishing up on two large lunch parties. We told him we understood. It was another twenty minutes before our meals arrived-and they didn't arrive at the same time. During our meal, my cloth napkin had fallen from my lap to the floor under the table. Our waiter was no where to be seen so I flagged down a passing waitress and asked her to ask our waiter to bring me a napkin. She said she would. Nearly ten minutes later--still no napkins. I spotted our waiter heading to the bar, intercepted him and made my request. A few minutes later I had my new napkin. I have to offer a sad but comical observation. As I was returning to my table from intercepting the waiter, I watched a bus-boy stop at our table, reach down under the table, pick up the napkin from the floor and offer the dirty napkin to my wife. I thanked him for his effort but said, we'd prefer a clean one. Both my sister and I had empty drink glasses which we couldn't ask for refills due to the absence of our waiter. Eventually our waiter returned and we simply asked for to-go boxes. Seven more minutes, but we got them. I was disappointed with the service at Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen on Bloomingdale Avenue. It's close to my home and I would have liked to make it a regular stop for meals. Maybe I'll give them another chance Areas for improvement: 1. Inattentiveness. Our waiter made only a few visits to our table. (No one to ask for napkins, no refills on drinks) 2. Slow Service. We were okay with delays with the food, but would have preferred notice sooner than later. 3. Poor collaboration. When we could not communicate with our waiter, the waitress we asked for assistance in obtaining napkins could have easily and quickly obtained them for us. She's representing your restaurant. I've been in so many restaurants where wait staff help one another. 4. Common Sense. The bus-boy picking up the napkin from the floor and offering it to a customer. Need I say more. read more

First time here. Brought out some rolls with honey butter. Very yummy. Had the chicken pecan salad. Nice size portion. Chicken cooked nice not dry at all. Good amount of honey roasted pecans. Just a really nice salad. Only negative is place had a weird smell in it but still a nice place read more

Food was really good. Service was great! Ambiance was nice.. I would recommend this place .

We have been here twice since it opened. The first time was a couple days after it opened and you could tell they were still going through the getting started pains, staff was a little confused, service was slow and the food wasn't quite right. We've been to many Cheddars over the years and I've always really enjoyed the food and service. The second time around was exactly what we would expect from a visit to a Cheddars. Kind staff, great food that was well prepared and delicious. And just an overall great experience I would assume, that's gonna be the norm from here on out, if it's something changes, I'll update this Review. read more

This was the worst decision. Showed up at 3.30 on a Saturday and was told 20 minutes with plenty of open tables because staff didn't show up and they weren't prepared for the rush. It's Saturday night, the most popular time to dine. How are you not prepared? We sit for 30 minutes and finally ask what's taking so long. They never texted us and gave our table away to Diana and not Dana. Absolutely trash of a place and I would not waste my time here. Manager is garage and doesn't know how to staff for a Saturday night and definitely doesn't know how to manage a restaurant. We walked out with ever being seated. Wasted 30 minutes for nothing. No respect for others time. read more

WOW what a great experience. This was our first visit and far exceeded the reviews I had read. From entry being greeted with a true smile and they seemed truly happy to welcome us. Our wait person was wonderful and very helpful, plus she turned us on to the HONEY CROISSANTS, We had the onions rings, some of the best we've had just wish they were a thicker cut, but the presentation is really cool and the dipping sauce is the best. We had the chicken tenders dinner with the broccoli cheese casserole, both were really really good, wish I would have taken a picture, but I could wait to eat. Give Cheddars a visit, you'll be hooked. Jus a side note , This place was spotlessly clean. read more
