Brussel sprouts
Adrian And Rob L.

We were in a while back and sat at the bar. Melissa was the bartender that day. She was AMAZING. She made some great recommendations, including the Brussel sprouts, which... under any other circumstances, we would've never eaten. She said they were the MOST ordered item there... we declined but she brought us a sample anyway. Let me tell you, we understand now. They were crispy, perfectly sauced and surprisingly delicious! The burgers we had were also great but my favorite was the house made French onion dip that came with the chips. TOP. TIER. We also sampled a couple of the "cowboy up" and "pop goes the weasel" rolls. Needless to say, we were impressed by these as well. Only great things to say about the place as well as Melissa's service and we ended lunch with a hug for the man that created the menu!

Sweet Potato Tots - Fantastic From The Heavens Salad - Great Other lady at the bar was losing her mind over the chicken sandwich. They probably had 12-16 craft beers on tap, plenty of TVs, multiple seating options, and an outdoor patio. From the outside it's dark tinted windows in a mall area but solid food and a great option for a beer.

Sweet potato puffs. Not a bad choice for an appetizer or with a main dish.

A nice place to hangout and relax. They have many drink specials. Having a Two Hearted ale and a egg on your face sandwich, blt, egg, ciabatta bread. Pretty good, nice taste, I would order this again.

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.

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.

This place has a very fun atmosphere, but the service is lacking and the food could be better…read more The kitchy decor and the fun names of dishes on the menu are great. I also liked the mismatched mugs. They seemed seriously understaffed, and service was very slow. We ordered drinks, and waited long enough for someone to come back to take our food order that we were starting to wonder if they thought we were only getting drinks. There was another long wait for our food. When it arrived, it arrived in batches. One person ordered three tacos, but the order was entered wrong, so they only got one to start, and they had to wait quite a while for the other two. The food was good overall, but the portions were quite small. I did like the Bourbon Street French toast, particularly the caramel sauce. It could have used more bananas though. The fried pickles were good, as were the spicy mozzarella sticks. The steak omelet's sauce was odd. The nachos were good. The coffee and lattes were good. The regular orange juice had less juice than one poured for our toddler. Overall it was alright, but I don't know that I'd go back.

Overall the food and vibe were excellent. Very robust menu with many things we wanted to try. The…read moreMusic City Hangover was a delicious take on a hot fried chicken breakfast. The Kevin Bacon LT was one of their many varieties of avocado toast which tasted very fresh and clean. Came in on a Sunday morning in August and the wait was 20 minutes, which is normally not an issue but the restaurant was only about 75% full. Service was a little slow but did not alter our positive experience. We will definitely be coming back to try more things on the menu.
