Clearwater Cheddar's To Open Nov. 27

CLEARWATER, FL -- The Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen in Clearwater will officially open its doors to the community on Tuesday, Nov. 27 at 11 a.m.

Located at 2655 Roosevelt Blvd., the Clearwater Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen will be open Monday through Sunday for lunch and dinner, offering made-from-scratch meals at affordable prices.

Guest-favorite entrees include Cheddar's hand-breaded Chicken Tenders that are fried to order, the hand-battered Monte Cristo sandwich, Homemade Chicken Pot Pie and House Smoked Baby Back Ribs.

The Clearwater location, led by managing partner Wendy Palmer, also will offer some of Cheddar's newest menu items before they launch nationwide on Dec. 3. Clearwater guests will be among the first to enjoy Crispy Chicken Tender Noodle Soup, Better Than Mom’s Meatloaf and Texas-Sized Nachos.

The first 100 guests on opening day will be welcomed with a freshly baked Honey Butter Croissant – a favorite among Cheddar’s guests because of the house-whipped honey butter drizzled on top.

The new 7,800-square-foot restaurant offers seating for 290 and is creating more than 180 jobs in the community.

The proceeds from the restaurant’s pre-opening Friends & Family events will be donated to The Refuge Clearwater. Additionally, the restaurant will participate in the Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen Harvest program and will donate wholesome, unused food to The Refuge Clearwater every week.

Founded in 1979, Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen operates more than 150 restaurants in 28 states.
