Who We Are

And here we were thinking nobody reads this page...

Delicious plate of Cheddar's chicken tenders, fries, and broccoli, with a side of sauce.

What does it mean to “Get a lot. For not a lot.”at Cheddar’s?

It means loving every bite of the handmade, fall-off-the-plate food coming out of our kitchen. It means gathering with family and friends in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. But here’s the best part – it means you don’t have to empty your wallet to get the dining experience you deserve.

How did 
Cheddar’s
get their name?

No, it’s not about cheese,
but maybe it should be.

Have you tried our 
Chips & Homemade Queso?

A 5th grade class proposed the name "Cheddar's" when our founders, Aubrey Good and Doug Rogers, asked for restaurant name suggestions.

Community Impact

There’s nothing better than a home-cooked meal, but not everyone has access to one.

Here at Cheddar’s, we’re helping to fight hunger in America through our donations to the Harvest Program.

Every week we donate unused food to the local food banks who participate in the Harvest Program.

Each day we “harvest” surplus, wholesome food that isn’t served to Guests and safely prepare it for donation.

We can’t put great food on your table without the 23,000 Team Members in our lobbies, kitchens, and dining rooms across the country. They’re greeting Guests with a warm smile, hand-breading our chicken tenders and serving up homestyle favorites every day.
