DATE & TIME OF VISIT: April 2026. They were not too busy (there was no wait line)…read more CLEANLINESS: Unfortunately the last few times we have come the cleanliness has been lacking. Floors everywhere were extremely dirty, bathrooms dirty, and when I peaked inside the kitchen (while walking by) so filthy (to be honest, we considered leaving before even ordering anything!). HOSTESS & SERVER: The hostesses were fine, not rude but not friendly either. Our server (male with dark hair) was very nice, he at times gave off a vibe of being new. The service is still very SLOW, so plan to be sitting awhile waiting to order, get food, etc. FOOD: This is what we ordered.... Cheddars Trio Sampler -- 3 Choices were: Chicken Tenders, Wisconsin Cheese Bites, and Queso Fries. Taste: Chicken tenders were good, cheese bites were very good (greasy though), queso fries were alright. Size: average. Price: $12.49 Cheddars Trio Sampler -- 3 Choices were: Chicken Tenders, Chips & Queso w/meat, and Queso Fries. Taste: Chicken tenders were good, chips were good, queso with meat was fine, queso fries were alright. Size: average. Price: $12.49 Monte Cristo -- Taste: it was alright but found it was too sweet and got sickening to eat after the first piece. Size: average. Price: $11.99 Baby Back Ribs -- Taste: very dry. Overall flavor was alright but we had a hard time getting past how dry and tough they were. Greens beans were not very good. Mashed potatoes were good. Size: average. Price: $16.49 OVERALL THOUGHTS: Server was very kind but service in general is slow. Cleanliness has definitely been lacking and I honestly would hate to see what happens in the kitchen!! WOULD I RETURN? Probably not, mostly due to the state of cleanliness the whole establishment was in.

I realize that it has been decades since visiting Cheddars. I will not wait that long for the next…read moretime. The place is conveniently located on Saginaw HWY along with a lot of other eateries. There is lots of parking. The restaurant has some mileage to it as it is a bit dated, but I liked it. We enjoyed the big booths and large table. Lucky it was large because we ordered more than a few things. To start, we ordered the onion rings and the fried cheese for our appetizers. They were both quite good, but my favorite was the onion rings fried to perfection. Light and crunchy and just a great bite. We also ordered what Cheddars calls the painkiller. It is a large tasty drink that is sort of a combination of a piña colada Meets a Mai Thai. The meals included the Key West chicken and it comes with rice and two sides. It has a kick to it and it's really flavorful and tender. We also ordered the sirloin and the hand breaded chicken tenders. Both were quite delicious and I love the crunch on the chicken tenders. The sides were also really nice and they included the sweet carrots and the broccoli cheese casserole along with crispy fries. This was quite a meal and it filled us up in a very happy way. We ate up and we left very happy and full with the idea of returning here soon. I don't live around here but when I visit this area, I will definitely stop here again.

After they finally re‑entered it, we waited another full hour with zero communication from anyone on staff. Not once did anyone check on us, offer water, or even acknowledge the delay. When the food finally came out, it didn't even arrive all at once. On top of that, I watched customers walking behind the bar and hugging on the bartender like it was a private hangout instead of a place of business. Meanwhile, paying customers (us) were left waiting and ignored. This experience was unprofessional, unorganized, and honestly unacceptable. I won't be returning.

Also - unless we are able to sit in the Bar section in a Booth & enjoy a relaxing Dinner & able to have a conversation with each other or another couple without yelling ... we don't stay to eat - as It's pretty loud... in the main area. As Seniors ... It's also super frustrating when we arrive at 4:30 pm to avoid the after work Dinner crowd & they refuse to seat us in a Booth in the Bar until 5:00 pm - always saying they have no waitstaff until then - BUT we can go sit "at the Bar on the their tall - not easy to get up on - uncomfortable Bar stools"... REALLY? Also it's VERY very frustrating & not Customer friendly to offer a rather large & versatile Cocktail Menu... with NO Prices ? It's uncomfortable & embarrassing to have to keep asking our waitstaff person - "how much is this... & "how much is this"... etc. as many of us are on a Budget & need to know UP FRONT the cost of what's on their Cocktail Menu. They keep telling us that they have no control over it as it's a Corporate decision? ODD isn't it? Also... their Cocktails are usually rather expensive & very light on Alcohol compared to several other "non-chain"Restaurants in our area. They tell us that such drinks like their Margaritas are "pre-mixed" & they have no control over the Alcohol content. They also don't take Reservations - which is extremely inconvenient & very frustrating. They also don't welcome groups bigger than 8... & when we had 12 of us ~ they sat us at separate tables it's too bad their not Customer friendly as they do have pretty good food.
