Cheddar's Northwest Freeway Reviews
This restaurant is fairly new and of course this was our first time here. Place was nice outside and inside. Clean and tidy. The minute they sat us they gave us complimentary warm honey butter croissants that were delicious. The drinks were great, big and flavorful as well, high five to Tatiana the bartender, she definitely knows know to make a great drink, she is just awesome. I recommend trying the margaritas and the Painkiller drink, it’s a must! We started with the trio sampler appetizer and it was so yummy especially the chicken tenders! We also ordered steaks and salmon and everything came out very good and tasty. Prices in general were very reasonable as well I dare say. And finally we gotta say the service was excellent, Kathleen was awesome, friendly and attentive. Anyways, we had a great time here and will definitively return soon.
Visited this location for dinner on a Monday night. It was fairly busy and a very welcoming environment. Our server Davion went above and beyond to provide great service. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and kind. Definitely would come back just for him!
I cannot express enough how grateful we are for the amazing experience. The menu offered a fantastic variety of dishes that catered to everyone's tastes, and each meal was delicious and freshly prepared. The portions were generous, ensuring that no one left hungry. I especially want to thank the staff for their attentiveness and for accommodating. Their effort made our team gathering not just a meal, but a memorable celebration. Thank you, Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen , for feeding our entire team and for your exceptional service!
Sydney and her team go above and beyond to support their local school community. The WB basketball fam is truly grateful for your kindess and generosity! Sydney was amazing at replying to emails and phone calls and taking care of our group. The food was delicious, fresh and tasty! Thank you for your awesome-ness!! Also, my experience every time my family and I have dined in the restaurant has been outstanding! Keep up the great work!! :)
Such great service from Cheddar's and staff. They did not hesitate to provide pre-game meals for our basketball girls at West Broward. The girls all loved the food! Recommend 100%
This was my first time at cheddars and I enjoyed so much!! the prices are amazing, the food quality is even better. My waitress Grace was AMAZING, she was very kind & always made sure everything was okay (:
First time at Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen and we were very impressed! The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The service was excellent from the moment we sat down. Huge praise to our server (Miko, hope I got ger name right) —attentive, friendly, and on top of everything without being overbearing. They truly made our first visit a great experience. We’ll definitely be back!
No words will be enough to express my gratitude and happiness of how the manager Julian and our waitress made our Xmas dinner unforgettable. This place has become one of my favorite spots to hang out with co workers or families and friends. And the best are the prices, very low prices compared to other chain restaurants and the croissant bread...is their signature. I will recommend this place 101%.
I had a great experience at Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen. Our waitress, Mikka, was absolutely wonderful—friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect. The lunch special I ordered was delicious, fresh, and satisfying, and the price was very reasonable for the quality and portion size. Overall, excellent service and a great value. I’ll definitely be coming back!
Decided to come here for lunch. My girlfriend and I decided to sit at the bar as waiting to be seated was a 15 minute wait. You can tell who was really hungry. Our server was nice and she help my girlfriend with some recommendations. For starters we were treated with the Honey Butter Croissants which were on the house! Those croissants were super delicious, then we ordered the Wisconsin Cheese bites, another wonderful dish. For the main meal I decided to get the country fried chicken with a side of red beans and rice, and the mashed potatoes. The chicken was served on top of a Texas toast. Everything thing that I had ordered was served great! I definitely recommend this dish. As for my girlfriend, she had the buffalo chicken wrappers with a side Caesar salad. She enjoyed her food very much too. We both enjoyed the ambiance and the establishment was very clean, this particular location was opened about a year ago, so everything looked almost new. We will be coming back!
Recent review: So we went back to Cheddar's on Pines and we were once again hit with impeccable service. We were given a warm welcome and within 2 minutes of sitting, we were greeted by a lovely waitress. She was kind and so professional that when we found out that she had just ended training a few weeks prior, we were shocked! They gave us those super fresh and delicious croissants within five minutes of sitting. The food came out quickly. It was hot and yummy comfort food. No criticisms. It's a great place to bring your kids. They have a screen with games at the table and you can order appetizers and pay your bill. We'll be back. I was so surprised by how delicious the food was!The service was also impeccable at the ToGo line. I'll be back!

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.
The food taste to price ratio is really great here. The grilled salmon with the bourbon glaze tasted so good! The staff was very friendly and courteous! I took a star away from atmosphere because there was an annoying fly near the bar. Will eat here again! 😋
Absolutely wonderful dining experience overall! From the moment we arrived, the warm and inviting atmosphere set the tone for a great meal. Our hostess, Isabella, was exceptional—friendly, welcoming, and made sure we were comfortable right away. The food was impressive across the board. The 14-ounce ribeye steak, cooked medium well, was perfectly seasoned and incredibly flavorful—tender and juicy with just the right amount of char. The Wisconsin cheese fries were a crispy, cheesy delight, and the complementary sweet croissants were a lovely touch—soft, warm, and just sweet enough to be memorable. We did have a small hiccup with the chicken—it wasn’t properly tempered the first time and came out undercooked. However, the manager handled it right away with professionalism and genuine concern, quickly correcting the issue and ensuring everything was perfect from then on. The drinks were also a highlight—both the peach iced tea and the strawberry iced tea were refreshing, flavorful, and clearly made with care. They paired beautifully with the meal and added to the overall enjoyment. Despite the minor issue, the swift and courteous resolution really showed the team’s dedication to quality service. We’ll definitely be returning!
The hostess was so upbeat and made us feel welcome from the start. Inside is modern and spacious. Our server was helpful especially since this was our first time and attentive. We got the pineapple coconut mule and the island tiki. Both drinks were tasty with a generous pour. The cheese bites just melt in your mouth. The complimentary honey biscuits are tasty. The New Orleans pasta was well seasoned and surprisingly had a good amount of meat. My sister got the regular shrimp Alfredo and wanted the Cajun Alfredo sauce but the explanation the server gave of why that couldn’t be done didn’t make sense. We got the skillet cookie for dessert and i think I expected it to be better than what it turned out to be. The cookie was too thin and it wasn’t hot, the cold ice cream made it just a lukewarm dessert. The pastas also were not hot so not sure what was going on with the food temperature . This was a super affordable and delicious meal
Very friendly and efficient staff. I ordered off the lunch menu, chicken pot pie, and a side of coleslaw, along with a half and half sweet/unsweetened tea. The food was very good. The crust was tasty and flaky with a lot of veggies and huge chunks of white meat chicken. The only reason they missed a 5 star rating on the food was because there was a noticeable amount of gristle in the meat. Not enough where it impeded my ability to enjoy the meal, but a noticeable amount. Overall, it was a great weekday lunch experience. Oh, and you are provided a delicious complimentary honey glazed crossaint!!

The service is either a hit or miss. The crosswinds are complimentary and delicious. The food prices are reasonable, the ambiance is great for a family dinner.

This place is hit or miss. We come once or twice a month and we never know what we're going to get. Last time we had a great experience and the food was great. Last night, not so much. My wife and I ordered our drinks and food at the same time. Our food came out before we even had our drinks. We looked at the bar to see if our drinks were just sitting there and the manager, Wilson I believe he said, was sweeping the floor next to us, saw us looking around and didn't offer to see what was the matter. The problem was the bartender was waiting tables and running food and not making drinks. She had customers at the bar and was still running to tables to get orders and serve. We split the chicken tenders and shrimp combo with a baked potato and fries. Our potato order came out wrong and the fries were missing. It felt like our son, who had the kids tender meal, had more chicken tenders and fries than we did. As we were about to pay, Wilson, came over and said he noticed us looking at the bar and if something was the matter. We explained our drinks got here after the food and that the food order was incomplete. He gave us a card for free chips and guac the next time we came back, but I politely left that at the table. This is the only major restuarant in the plaza and could make a killing if it was run properly. They can't handle crowds because once the staff feels like its in the weeds, they succumb to the pressure. From the kitchen to the servers to the hosts. It's like they're trained on how not to deal with large volumes of guests. There is a reason why people are going out to eat less and less and it's because of overpriced food and horrible service. If I wanted to be miserable at the dinner time I would just go to my in-laws for free instead of paying for it.
Horrible service. I waited over 20 min to sit for one person ! Then they sat me down, waited 15 min, waiter never came once, no water no nothing, I picked up and left. I've been here before and h…

normally when i come to cheddars , i have a good time but this time it was horrible. I drove an hour to get there because there isnt any cheddars near me up northh and i wanted to enjoy myself. when it comes down to ordering my drink, i asked for a slushy margarita. the waiter seemed as if she just started that day because when she asked for my ID , she looks at for a soild 20 seconds then calls over the manager. at this point, im confused because I know im over 21 so what's the problem? The manager comes over and takes a look at my ID and tells me I can't get a drink because my ID is turned vertical not Horizontally.... ?? What? I thought the only thing that mattered is that I am over the age of 21?? I begin pointing to my birth year of 2000 on my ID saying I'm literally 25? They said that didn't matter.. Me and partner were confused and trying to understand of why does that matter? My ID isn't expired sooo?? I even went up to the bartender and asked for their opinion and they told me nothing was wrong... Julian was the manager that told me I couldn't get a drink. Very unreasonable and rude. I won't be coming back to this location if I'm going to be denied a drink because my ID is flipped to one side..
Terrible service. 40 minute wait on a Monday. Chosed to eat at bar. 15 minutes until a girl with dark hair bartender gave us a menu. Terrible attitude definitely did not want to be . Waited another 15 minutes then I asked manager to take our order. Baked potato soup was like a bowl of potatoes and actually it had piece of paper in it. Sent it back and just got a baked potato. Took long time get refill on soda as well.
