About Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen

America's beloved scratch-made comfort food chain

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen — originally known as Cheddar's Casual Cafe — was founded in 1979 in Arlington, Texas by Doug Rogers and Aubrey Good. Their mission was simple: serve wholesome, made-from-scratch meals at prices everyone can afford. Today, Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen operates over 170 locations across 28 US states, employing more than 20,000 team members. In 2017, Darden Restaurants Inc. — the parent company of Olive Garden and LongHorn Steakhouse — acquired the brand, supercharging its nationwide expansion.

The Cheddars restaurant menu is celebrated for generous portions, fresh scratch-made ingredients, and honest prices most competitors can't match. Every dish is crafted daily in-house — from the iconic Honey Butter Croissants (complimentary for dine-in guests!) to slow-smoked Baby Back Ribs and the beloved Homemade Chicken Pot Pie.

Healthy Eating Tips at Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen

🥗

Choose Lighter Sides

Swap fries for Sweet Baby Carrots (35 Cal), Southern Green Beans (60 Cal), or Fresh Steamed Broccoli (100 Cal) to significantly reduce your meal's calorie count.

🍗

Go Grilled, Not Fried

Grilled options like Lemon Pepper Chicken (520 Cal) and Grilled White Fish (490 Cal) are far lighter than fried counterparts like Country Fried Chicken (up to 1,250 Cal).

🫙

Dressing on the Side

Request salad dressings and sauces on the side to control how much you use. This can save 200–400 calories on salad-based Cheddar's menu items.

🌾

If you have gluten sensitivity, Cheddar's dedicated gluten-sensitive menu makes ordering straightforward. Always inform your server of your dietary needs.
