Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen continues to be a place we enjoy, and this week's visit was another great…read moreexperience. First, I want to thank Trey for his outstanding service. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Great service always makes a good dining experience even better. The manager also stopped by our table which always is always nice One of my favorite things about Cheddar's is that every meal starts with their complimentary Honey Butter Croissants. They are warm, flaky, buttery, and topped with a sweet honey glaze. They are absolutely delicious and such a nice touch. My husband ordered the Pain Killer (Pusser's Rum, cream of coconut, pineapple juice, orange juice, toasted coconut rim, and topped with nutmeg). It was refreshing, well-balanced, and one of the best tropical cocktails he's had in quite a while. For his entrée, he chose the Spasagna--a creative twist on lasagna with spaghetti layered with four cheeses, then baked and topped with homemade Alfredo and marinara sauces, served with garlic bread. He's Italian and can be pretty particular about Italian food, so the fact that he thoroughly enjoyed it says a lot. It was rich, cheesy, comforting, and full of flavor. My daughter and I both ordered the Monte Cristo, and it definitely did not disappoint. The sandwich was perfectly crispy on the outside with a delicious combination of ham, turkey, and cheese inside. Paired with the raspberry preserves, it hit that perfect balance of sweet and savory. By the end of the meal, we were completely full and had no room left for dessert--which just gives us another reason to come back. Cheddar's continues to offer generous portions, delicious food, and excellent service at a very reasonable price. We'll definitely be back.

Please keep up this great consistency of this wonderful service. The restaurant is huge and has plenty of space. TIP: they have lunch specials for cheaper price!! This time I came in for dinner. You get a free Honey Butter croissant for each person. Honestly this is my favorite thing from the restaurant! You can purchase more after for $1.50. The honey butter sauce is sooo addicting! I got the New Orleans pasta. It has a good kick to it! The sauce was flavorful, the shrimp taste fresh and tender and the sausage was tasty as well. Also got their chicken tenders. Some how their tendies taste better than other normal American restaurants. The tenders are crispy on the outside and hot and juicy on the inside. I also tried their burger before, and it was great as well! Overall 10/10

Great pancakes!…read more Breakfast here was a win. I ordered nothing but pancakes. Buttermilk pancakes and Chocolate Chip pancakes. So so good. They were fluffy, smokin' hot, and beautifully plated. These pancakes are huge too. The plate of pancakes come as a stack of 3. I had a single chocolate chip and added one of the buttermilk pancakes to it and that was still plenty. The server and hostess were very nice and the atmosphere was quiet. I'll be back for lunch :)

It was a crowded Sunday, no bar seating (it was all taken) We put our name in with the hostess. I…read morewent to the bar ordered a Bloody Mary and an expresso martini. I get it was busy , the bartender was less than cordial. Ok... again it was crowded, anyway sensing a frustration, a dynamic young woman came over to our party and asked if we would consider seating at the patio... What a novel idea?! If only we had been told by the hostess. This woman we will call Julie was very hospitable and charming. She called over a waitress, again just as charming and delightful as Julie and our orders were taken. Service was prompt, and at that point I felt like we were VIP! Everything was delicious, we ordered more drinks and despite the AZ heat it was comfortable sitting on the patio. There is plenty of parking and it's located on the corner. Great visibility! The food was really good, yet I feel like this was Julie doing a phenomenal job and of course our server as well

We've always had great service at Copperstill, but Saturday night was next level because of Stormy…read more We rolled in with about 25 people and no reservation and she handled it like a pro. Super calm, super on it, and just good energy all around. Not once did a drink go empty without her already checking in. What really got us was how she remembered faces and drinks for a group that size. That kind of attention is rare. And the food? Absolutely fire. We already love Copperstill, but Stormy elevated the whole vibe. If you want great service, you'll get that here. If you want exceptional service, ask for Stormy!

Hubby & I had dinner here Friday night. We hadn't been here in years, & now I know why…read more We were seated right away, & service was fine. Hubby's beer was ice cold & good. My "Tito's" & cranberry was fine. However, we question if it was really Tito's. We got the pretzels. They were large, but neither one of really liked them. The outside was soft like the inside, not how pretzels are supposed to be. We also didn't care for the beer cheese. It was thick & chunky. Hubby got the wings with AZ gold on the side. The wings were crispy, but the AZ gold sauce was nothing like AZ gold sauce. It was reddish & had a kick to it. It was also running. I got the cheeseburger sliders with onion rings. The onion rings were good, but the ranch dressing was super runny. The sliders weren't like sliders I've had before. It was like a hamburger patty was cooked then placed on the slider buns. The meat did not fill the buns. A couple of the buns hardly had any meat on them. We don't have any reason to go back.

We sat at the bar and our bartender, Angie was so clever by tempting us with dessert before we even got our meals. She was a highly attentive and very engaging.

The chicken sandwich was also really tasty. I loved that they offer sweet potato fries, which were so good! They even have a prickly pear chicken sandwich that's unique and worth trying.

Super friendly and welcoming staff. Very casual and group friendly. I was very impressed with the menu. A little bit of everything for everyone. I wanted a hot sandwich, so I tried their Philly cheesesteak on their famous baguette. Absolutely delicious, spiced perfectly, and the bread is famous for a reason. Light, crispy, and fluffy. You can choose amongst several sides. It was a filling and satisfying dinner. Pizza was great too. If you can, get a side of their homemade marinara sauce for dipping! It was piping hot, so watch out.

Instead, we were offered a table in the back outside while everyone else was seated inside. As a Black family, the experience left us feeling unwelcome. I can't say why we were treated this way, but the interaction was extremely disappointing, we chose to dine elsewhere. Update: After my original review, the restaurant reached out to apologize for our experience. We decided to give them another chance, and I'm glad we did. Our return visit was completely different. The service was excellent, and we had the pleasure of meeting the Ashley Cook, General Manager and the owner. They made us feel genuinely welcome. I appreciate that they took our feedback seriously and worked to make things right. Our server Tyler was exceptional.

Music is always on pointe and I would never change the look or ambiance of the place either. My last trip here though I had to ask about why the menu had stopped changing as often since we were one of two parties there in the middle of happy hour and there was a large framed picture of a bartender with a bunch of signed notes on the bottom of it beside me at the bar. It turns out that one of the oldest curators and bartenders of the bar and restaurant had passed from a drunk driving incident and I had not known at all! Gosh I was so disappointed in myself that I had ever complained about not having a new menu to try after that...but at the same time it was amazing to hear so many great anecdotes and to learn so much more about him and the history of the bar itself while dining this time. I had a lot of fun times at this bar - including remembering the first time I met that bartender and sharing that memory with the staff that told me their story. They also shared that they would be coming out with a new menu very soon and some of the new items and ideas that would be rolling out so I am also very excited to go back! New food menu tomorrow too?! What?! I was almost tempted to back today to get more of their amazing dishes from the main menu!! Thank you Cat for the amazing hospitality! I learned so much about Gaea in one afternoon too :D Love it. To update about the food I tried but some of you may not get to try since they're changing it up :P *Tiger Shrimp - DIVINE - JUICY ZUCCHINI STUFFED WITH CURRY THAT MAKES YOUR ENTIRE MOUTH WATER JUST THINKING ABOUT IT ONCE ITS EVER TOUCHED YOUR TONGUE - the prawns are BIGGER THAN YOUR MIDDLE FINGER *Thai Salad - zesty spicy, VERY filling and made in lettuce cups, so very much not your typical salad but very tasty *steak skewers - much more like the juiciest steak I've literally ever had on a skewer - LITERALLY...but not because it's fat, just because they somehow made this steak completely juicified - don't ask me how - ask Cat *Mole Chicken Skewers - My favorite...you should just try it.

Came with some friends for dinner, one of them hadn't been before so we were glad to introduce her to this gem. This night we started with an order of the mozzarella sticks, which was a first and so glad we tried them because I want them every time we come now! Four sticks to an order along with a small bowl of their wonderful marinara sauce. They were lightly breaded and fried to perfection and when you bit into one, you got that mozzarella pull! We decided to try the pizza salad this time around and so glad we did because it was truly delicious. Comes with an oregano vinaigrette and of course I also asked for a side of ranch (theirs is really good) and I love the combo of dressings! Again, another favorite discovered! This time we decided on the Meat-Za flat bread and it was amazing! It is made with red sauce, pepperoni, sausage, salami, Italian seasoning all on top of their most wonderful flat bread pizza crust. Really, really good! Friends got the BBQ Chicken flat bread as well as a half Elote and half Meat-Za and she loved it. The BBQ chicken was good as well so will get that one next time! The Elote we experienced previously and it is so good!!! It was busy this evening we were there but food took no time to get to us and service was what you expect! You order at the counter, are given a number and food is delivered to you at your table. This is truly one of our favorites in the rotation now...

They have indoor and outdoor seating, but we sat at the bar with two regulars, so you already know it had that neighborhood favorite feel. The staff was super friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. I tried the lunch special on the wall: green chili pork soup and the MEAT-ZA flatbread with red sauce, pepperoni, sausage, salami, and Italian seasoning. So good and perfect for a casual lunch. Great drinks, good food, and friendly service. Definitely a solid Tempe hangout.
