The Cheesecake Factory

First time going to The Cheese Cake Factory was not disappointed. Went after lunch crowd so wait wasn’t long at all. Looking forward to going back again soon.

This review is simply for the cheesecakes and desserts at The Cheesecake Factory. I’ve never eaten a proper meal there, although I have seen their lunch and dinner menus, which seem overwhelming with the sheer number of items on the menu. From what I’ve heard, dessert is where The Cheesecake Factory excels, and entrees are not as much of a strength (mediocre and overpriced, from what I’ve heard). However, their cheesecakes are really phenomenal. They come in huge slices with mountains of whipped cream. As a whipped cream lover, I am a huge fan of the amount of whipped cream that goes onto these cheesecakes. They are perfect for sharing among a group of friends. Every July, The Cheesecake Factory restaurants nationwide also celebrate National Cheesecake Day with 50% of all cheesecake slices, so the cost of one slice drops down to about $ 3.50. One of my favorite desserts there (besides the cheesecakes) is the strawberry shortbread. This is a massive dessert with sugary, crunchy shortbread topped with a large quantity of fresh cut strawberries, with generous scoops of vanilla ice cream and swirls of whipped cream on top. At only $ 8 or $ 9, the amount of food is really good value.
The ambiance at this place is nice. It is a huge restaurant located in the Prudential Center, so even when there are a lot of patrons there isn’t much of a wait.

My third visit to Cheesecake Factory in the city. Enjoyed every single visit — at least for the food.
Visited in the early evening with two friends, wait was approx 20 minutes, the shortest of the three visits that I had.
We ordered onion rings, Vietnamese rolls, red velvet cheesecake and 2 other cheesecakes which I can’t recall right now.
The food was yummy as usual. The Vietnamese rolls are not the authentic Vietnamese roll but they tasted fine. The onion rings were super good.
The cheesecakes were of course the main highlight. My friends were overwhelmed with the options available and were so torn having to choose three out of the entire list.
Key Lime Cheesecake is my ultimate favorite among the list.

For a chain restaurant, this place never disappoints! The waitstaff can sometimes be hit or miss, but the food is always stellar. Some of my favorites include the Ahi Tartare (an appetizer dish consisting of a puck of chopped raw ahi tuna sitting on top of a puck of avocado, sitting in a pool of soy ginger sauce, topped with spicy mayo, pickled ginger, and sesame seeds, garnished with fried wonton chips. It’s a delightful Asian twist to a French dish (or a French twist to a Japanese dish, you decide!).
Normally I opt for ordering two or three appetizers instead of an entrée. Another decent «appetizer» that’s actually entrée sized are the Thai Lettuce Wraps. They’re not authentic by any means, but they are DELICIOUS! It’s simple. All you do is make a taco/​burrito with fresh lettuce as the shell. It comes with pickled carrots, noodles, chicken in a peanut sauce, parsley, cucumbers, and bean sprouts. It also comes with three sauces. I’m not quite sure what’s in them, but they’re all good!
As for entrees, the sandwiches are very good, and the burgers are very good as well. The burgers are actually quite large, and come with decent sized patties and generous portions of condiments such as lettuce, tomato, and onion. Plus, they’re cooked to order!
After stuffing and/​or gorging yourself on this delicious food, you might want to take your leftovers to go, then go home to hibernate, but what’s this? The waiter/​waitress just brought you a dessert menu! Oh no! You’re stuffed! But somehow you still have room for dessert! Why would you come here if you’re not going to have a slice of their namesake! I usually either opt for the Fresh Strawberry Cheesecake, or the White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle Cheesecake. I’ve tried the Vanilla Bean Cheesecake and have found it to be lacking a bit in the vanilla department. The Hot Fudge Sundae is good too, but only order it if you intend on picking up a slice of cheesecake at the to-​go counter up front!
Yes, the price is a bit steep for some of the menu items, but if you want to take someone out to dinner, this is a spot that will never fail you!

4 of us came to the restaurant after a long day of touring Boston city. We were super hungry and were ready to get large portions. We had no reservations, and ended up waiting in a super crowded area for only 15 minutes until we got a table.
Pros:
+ 15 – 20 minute wait even with a large line
+ Super large portions
Cons:
— Sub par service (primarily due to such large restaurant)
Ambiance (5 stars):
The restaurant looks really clean, and modern. It has high ceilings and comfortable chairs. The washrooms are clean and spacious.
Food: (4.5 stars)
Knowing their large portions we only got the main meal.
I got a Burrito (4 stars) — super large and tasty.
Smokehouse Burgers (5 stars) — After recommendation from the waiter we got 2 of these instead of the Bacon Bacon Burger. The burger was amazing. One of the best burgers I ever had. Real juicy with a generous portion of bacon and cheese and great sauce. Would def recommend it.
A Salad with Salmon (5 stars) — All the ingredients were really fresh and they went well together.
Service: (3 stars)
We order drinks at the start and then we ordered food.
We were given bread at the start, and most of the drinks about 5 minutes later. We finished the bread, and still waited another 5 minutes for the drink (After reminding the waiter that the drink was missing he came back with it).
We did not get extra bread or anything and waited another 10 minutes at least for the food to arrive. the waiter was not around to help us.
The bill came to 115 with tax and tip for 4 meals, and 6 drinks.

Probably the best place to eat huge quantites of food with a great environment and service. Mango smoothie is fantastic and all dishes are what you expect.

I just had lunch at the C.K. Pearl and we had a really great time. A surprisingly good restaurant with fresh good, nice view of the water (marshland) and really happy servers.
We ordered a large clam chowder, mussels for appetizer and fish and chips. I shared between me and husband, and it was plenty. I ordered more of the crostinis to have the mussel juice after.
The plates were delicious and fresh, one of the best we had in the area. Also it was not expensive at all, but we didn’t have any drinks.
I also ordered a kids menu for my 4 year old son and I thought it was great quality, with a good selection.
The dessert menu is not that great do that’s why we are giving the 4 star review. I would definitely come back.

These restaurants under the same brand usually feels the same. Huge rooms, dent light, decent dishes.
Pros:
Dishes were very nice. We ordered separately and shared everything. I personally favor the pasta but all others were nice as well. I recall better with pictures so see the description on my photo.
Con
Inefficient waiter

I don’t know why it’s so famous but nah… This Huntington ave. Cheesecake Factory is hugee with fancy structure and décor inside. The floor is super slippery!!! I almost felt off my boots walking in there. Don’t they ever clean it?
There are various types of food offered but I just feel like none of them is really good. There are American, Italian, Chinese, Thai, even Vietnamese food… and it sucks. I had fish and chips and garlic cheese bread. The fish is so bland. It has no taste at all I can’t remember how much salt I had to put on. The garlic bread would be better without cheese cause it got too greasy. I did have a «fresh» strawberry cheesecake which was fine but Im not really a fan of cheesecake after all so…
The price sucks compared to the quality of food also. We only had three dishes, in which one of them is appetizer and one is dessert, with a cup of lemonade. It costs almost $ 50 icld tips. Ridiculous place don’t know why people are so obsessed about it. They came to take pictures?

Extensive selection on the menu. Love this place because there’s always alot I can choose from. My friend and I came around 5:30p for an early dinner (I waited for 10 minutes or so for a table, so pretty quick for us to get a table). The two of us ordered a luau salad (my first time trying this and it was outstandingly delicious. It has mango with crispy wontons and other veggies in it.), pasta da Vinci (mushrooms with chicken meats mix in with a wine sauce. awesome dish! We didn’t like penne pasta so ended up having the waiter to switch it to fettuccine instead without additional cost). Lastly we got to have a cheesecake dessert (had the lemon raspberry kind. It was alright.)

First, this is not a review about the food. I love the beef medallions I had there, also the cheesecake. On the other hand, the service is AWFUL. It was my friend’s birthday, we had to wait more ONE HOUR to be placed. We almost gave up. What pissed me off the most was the receptionist who told us that we’d wait about 15 min. It turned out we waited for an hour. I hated that.
Plus, Idk why the waitress took so long to fill our glasses with water. Eating that sweet cheesecake made us so thirsty! All the time we had to ask her to come to our table. That was really disappointing and it made our experience at Cheesecake Factory not really pleasant.

First visit to a Cheesecake Factory, and I was pretty impressed. We had been walking all day, visiting the tourist sights in Salem and come back to Boston pretty late and pretty hungry. We stopped by the Prudential Center and decided to try the Cheesecake Factory. Firstly, we were seated very promptly and handed two huge menus for food, drinks and skinny options.
We started with cocktails, a mojito and a Long Island iced tea, both really good and satisfyingly thirst quenching. We then went straight for mains, I had a bacon-​bacon burger and my other half had the thai chicken lettuce wraps with a ‘side’ of sweet potato fries (side = gigantic mound of fries to feed a family! Not for one person.). My burger was succulent and flavoursome, the only drawback was too much cheese, it overpowered the burger towards the end.
The burger came with a side of fries, crispy and well seasoned. The thai chicken lettuce wraps went down a real treat, lots of fresh veggies, tasty dipping sauces and as previously mentioned a large side of sweet fries. We ordered a second round of drinks and decided to order dessert to go. I ordered the Oreo cheesecake and my girlfriend ordered the red velvet cheesecake, we tried these out the next day, the winner: the red velvet, it was deliciously creamy and well flavoured.
Our servers were attentive and service was swift, exceptionally swift at the end as we were picking up some wine before the local store closed it’s wine section. I’d recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking casual dining, some drinks, lots of food and good service.

Food was great Jamaican chicken and shrimp was awesome my honey had the bacon bacon burger it was great as well

I came in at around 3pm today, and to my surprise, there was actually a decent amount of people eating. Lot of people were having late lunches, or early dinners, I guess. I was here for what seemed to be lunch #2.
Anyhow, I’ll just say that right off the bat, that the service we received was pretty terrible. Our waitress was slow, wasn’t very friendly, never asked about water refills, or checked up on how we’re doing. –1 star for that.
As you may all know, this place offers A TON of food. After 15 minutes of looking at the menu, we managed to narrow our order down to: Crab Artichoke Dip, Shepard’s Pie, Grilled Salmon, and Caramel Pecan Turtle Cheesecake.
Crab Artichoke Dip– served with thin, crispy slices of buttery bread. The dip itself was pretty good; it was thick and creamy, and reminded me of chowder. The only complaint I had was that there wasn’t much crab in the dip. Maybe it was blended in or something, but I was expecting chunks of crab meat. Not really worth the $ 11.50.
Sherpard’s Pie– This was my first time trying sherpard’s pie, but I thought it was tasty! Has meat, peas, mushrooms, carrots covered in a rich sauce and topped with a mound of mashed potatoes. Meat was flavorful and not dry, and the portion was pretty generous, so would give this dish 5 stars.
Grilled Salmon– Fish itself was pretty standard, maybe a little above average. But then again, I’ve never really had a grilled salmon that made me go ‘MMMMmm, OH SO DELICIOUS!!!’ It’s served with side of tartar sauce and steamed, seasonless broccoli. 3 stars
Caramel Pecan Turtle Cheesecake– caramel+pecan layer, followed by cheesecake layer+ chocolate brownie layer. The chocolate thing on top was super good. That’s some solid chocolate right there. But the cheesecake itself was ok. Good, but not something I would want to order again. 3 stars
Love the menu offerings. Love the portions. Kinda love some of the food. Hate the service. And the prices. There are so many places to eat in that area. I would advise that if you have the time, explore somewhere new, fun, and cool to try! But otherwise, Cheesecake Factory is always a safe bet for a meal out.

*the entrance was a bit confusing. If you entered thru the revolving doors by outdoor seating, the front area is all the way back around the restaurant.
*there are really no obvious waiting vs order lines in the front area, so if you only want to order a cheesecake to go, ask everyone around you if they are waiting to order/​get a seat/​etc.
*cashier lady and staff were nice, and my salted caramel cheesecake slice took only a few minutes to pack. But expect tons of pple waiting around, and try to focus really hard on the staff calling your name for your order over the loud music/​chatter/​noise.
*the salted caramel cheesecake was delicious! I suggest sharing one slice between two pple, otherwise it feels a bit overwhelming.

Went on a Sunday night and the place was packed. Food is pricey but the portions are large and the food high quality, especially the cheesecake. I can’t exaggerate how large the portion sizes of the entrees are. You will almost definitely be taking a to-​go bag with you when you leave. I ordered the nachos for an appetizer, Chicken Avocado Club sandwich for the entrée, and for dessert the fresh banana cream cheesecake. I ended up taking some of the appetizer and dessert home. For a drink I ordered a virgin piña colada, which was just okay. I know I won’t be eating here too much just because my arteries couldn’t take it and I’d probably have a stroke at the table, but coming to Cheesecake Factory is like a field trip, fun to do once in a while as a special outing with friends.

Well, this is the second time I go to this franchise. The first one was in 2013 in Palo Alto, bigger than this one, but all of these franchises share the same decoration, no matter the city or the building.
First time I ordered a dish with salmon, I only remember it was yummy nothing else and for dessert a original cheesecake, a must if you come to this place.
This last time there was a lane, so we needed to wait some minutes in order to hace dinner. After waiting, a member of the staff called us and took us to our table. I personally don’t like how the service is managed, too exaggerated in my opinion, no need to give a speech or overact. Despite of this, he attended us pretty good, firstly taking note of the beverages (the waiter exaggerating with every choice) and then the food. We sticked with burgers, after three weeks I hadn’t had one, so it was time to order one.
I order it medium cook, but for my opinion it was overcooked, nevertheless to say it was good and yummy. You can order your burger with french fries or one kind of vegetables (forget about ordering a mix of two or more).
To wrap up the dinner we had Godiva and Dulce de Leche cheesecakes, both very heavy but wonderful at the same time.

Located at the entrance of the Prudential Centre right by the T stop, this place caught my eye immediately.
We had to wait a few minutes for a table, however whilst waiting we had time to view the vast cheesecake counter and eye our top choices.
After being sat down we were promptly provided with the menu, as we were only there for cheesecake we flipped right to the back of the menu to view the sweets. We were shocked when the list of cheesecakes covered two entire pages.
Sadly my first choice of fresh blueberry and white chocolate had sold out, however our waitress recommended that I try the raspberry and white chocolate instead, so I did.
The slices were not at all skimpy, so much so that my sugar levels were off the radar after finishing.
The cheesecake itself was moist and light with exceptional flavours running throughout. The bases was strong enough to support the weight and structure too so it didn’t fall apart when you stuck your fork in.
If you’re in need of a sugar fix and are in the area, I would recommend this place!

C’est à l’occasion de mon anniversaire que nous avons décidé de célébrer cet évènement au CheeseCake Factory, mythique restaurant, que nous autres français avons découvert au travers de la célèbre série, The Big Bang Theory.
A ma grande surprise je né pensais pas trouver un cadre aussi intimiste. Me fiant à ma vision de la série où l’on a plus l’impression d’être dans une sorte de «Dinner», j’avoue avoir été agréablement par l’ambiance. L’éclairage tamisée est agréable, l’organisation des tables laisse peu d’espace ce qui n’est pas gênante pour partager un moment à deux.
Niveau choix le Cheesecake Factory n’a rien à envier à ses concurrents. Les plats sont très variés et tous ce qui est proposé est très alléchant, ce qui peut facilement torturer les plus indécis d’entre nous, qui sont surtout les plus gourmands! De mémoiré, nous avons pris une pizza à partager en entrée, qui était correcte.
Pour le plat, je me suis laissé tenter par un «Bang-​Bang Chicken and Shrimp», l’association poulet-​crevette est excellente. Par contre, après quelques bouchers on est vite écoeuré, en effet le surplus de sauce vient ternir le goût des aliments.
Il était évidemment hors de question de repartir sans cheesecake. Mon choix s’est donc arrêté au White chocolate caramel macadamia cheesecake et sa pointe de crème chantilly.
Qu’on se le dise la crème est écoeurante. Le cheesecake était très bon, mais étonnamment ce n’est pas le meilleur que j’ai pu manger.

What’s good about going to a chain, is knowing what to expect. This Cheesecake Factory is no exception.
The food was just as good, the service friendly and accomodating. It was very baby friendly. On a saturday afternoon, the wait wasn’t too bad– about an hour.
My only complaint is that the entrance sent you to the back of the resturant so you had to walk through to get to the front which was a little bit awkward.

The Cheesecake Factory is always a big space with a huge menu.
This location by the Pru is no different, although at first glance it seems more regular restaurant sized. But once the hostess leads the way with your menu in hand and you turn a few corners, you realize the true size of this spot. Whoa.
The take-​out counter is right by the door, and that’s where I head when I want a slice of the good stuff to go. The waiting dining crowd may be in the way though, so just weave your way through with a few spoken «excuse me, please.» My favorites are the banana cream cheesecake and the newer member of the Cheesecake Factory family — the lemon meringue cheesecake.
I could tell that our waitress was listening to us, as she brought over a basket of TWO honey wheat rather than one of each after I had mentioned that I LOVE their darker bread.
With our eye on ending with a sweet, we shared a salad and an entrée which was plenty for two lightweights with the assist of their delicious bread.
The Kale and Quinoa Salad $ 10.95 lots of tender kale, quinoa, grapes, sweet red pepper, sunflower seeds and parmesan cheese tossed with our lemon vinaigrette was quite sharable and shareworthy. I liked the sweet notes offered by the juicy grapes.
The Fish Tacos $ 13.95 soft corn tortilla filled with grilled OR crispy tempura fish, avocado, tomato, onion, cilantro and crema, served with black beans and rice, was good sized at 4 tacos, though the rice was rather dry and hard to chew.
I love lemon, so my DC was up for trying the Lemoncello cream torte $ 7.95. At ten slices per cake compared to the 12 per cheesecake, it was a good sized portion of what looked to be a lemon tiramisu. It was tasty, but a bit too much cream for my friend. Next time I’m hankering for lemon, I’m ordering the cheesecake.
*** ¹⁄₂₀₁₆ ***
I wanted a slice of cheesecake, so I selected something healthy as the preceding course — their SkinnyLicious Fresh Vegetable Salad $ 9.95 (asparagus, green beans, tomato, cucumber, roasted beets, apple, edamame, radicchio, romaine and white cheddar, all chopped with SkinnyLicious Pomegranate Vinaigrette).
Their fresh banana cheesecake was great as always — light and creamy and not too sweet! But the salad was a bit difficult to eat with a fork as the greens were spear-​able, but the diced veggies kept escaping. The selection of veggies were good, but didn’t really go together as well as I hoped, and the cheese was surprisingly predominant a flavor and generous throughout the salad.

Estuve en el 2008 desayunando antes de subir al Prudential (edificio mas alto de Boston), me sorprendió muy gratamente, gran variedad de postres y platos típicos americanos.
Muy bonita la decoración por dentro, y que decir de los camareros Norteamericanos siempre tan atentos y serviciales, y siempre pendientes de que todo este OK.
Muy recomendado.

Lecker und für die Qualität des Essens preislich auch ok. Wir mussten zwar etwas länger warten, aber die 15 Minuten waren erträglich. Sehr empfehlenswert!

Himmelarsch war der Cheescake lecker! Einzig die Auswahl ist gemein gross und man weiss nicht welchen ausprobieren, denn lecker klingen sie alle.

The Cheesecake Factory ubicado en el Prudential Center, excelente ambiente, la carta muy variada y la comida excelente, pero lo mejor son los postres, espectaculares!!!

C’est un lieu que j’ai découvert il y a environ 6 ans lors de mes recherches poussées pour tenter de trouver la recette de ce fameux gâteau que Rachel et Chandler mangent (et volent à la voisine) goulûment dans un des épisodes de Friends. C’est tellement bon que lorsqu’ils le font tomber par terre, ils se regardent, vont chercher des fourchettes et le mangent sur le sol. Le Cheesecake. À l’époque, il était inconnu au bataillon français, personne né connaissait le Philadelphia. Pourtant, une jeune femme s’essayait à la réalisation de ses premiers cheesecakes, elle avait pas mal de succès auprès de ses amis d’ailleurs. Cette jeune femme, c’était moi. J’ai à peu près la même version avec les cupcakes et je me dis que j’aurais dû me lancer là-​dedans, je serais probablement riche à l’heure actuelle.
Donc, dans mes recherches, je suis tombée sur les photos de ces cheesecakes, il s’est avéré qu’il était impossible de récupérer les recettes puisque c’est une boutique (enfin un restaurant) américain. J’étais déçue. Mais j’ai toujours gardé en tête ces beaux gâteaux, dans cette vitrine et ce nom: The Cheesecake Factory.
L’occasion se présente d’aller aux US, le pays du cheesecake. J’en ai mangé un chez Stage Deli (
), entièrement au Philadelphia et du coup, bien lourd. Evidemment, il n’y a pas de Cheesecake Factory à New York (allez comprendre pourquoi). J’ai donc profité de mon week-​end à Boston pour y aller. Un passage obligé pour moi. Revenir en France sans passer par la Cheesecake Factory, je pense que je l’aurais regretter longtemps.
Je me rends donc au Prudential Center. Le restaurant est à l’entrée du centre commercial, mais je né m’y rends pas tout de suite. Je le garde pour la fin. En attendant, je fais le tour des boutiques, fais quelques derniers achats, mange un petit bol de clam chowder chez Boston Chowda Company (
) qui est très loin d’être aussi raffinée que celle de Grand Central, à l’Oyster bar (
) .
Enfin le moment fatidique. J’entre, je demande à être installée juste pour manger une part de cheesecake. Je prends rapidement une première photo de la vitrine. J’opte pour l’extérieur. On me donne le menu et l’on me précise que les deux dernières pages sont consacrées aux cheesecakes. Il y a un choix impressionnant. Le but du jeu étant de choisir une part pas trop lourde. J’élimine tout ce qui est à base d’Oreo, chocolat, caramel et tout ce que j’ai pu déjà goûté en France. J’aimerai une part digne de ce nom, belle comme une princesse, avec un tourbillon de crème sur le dessus, sauf qu’il n’y a pas de photos dans le menu. Je sors la photo que j’ai prise et je regarde les gâteaux qui sont bien décorés. Au jugé, en espérant né pas me tromper, je choisis une part de key lime cheesecake. Et j’attends.
Le gentil serveur me l’apporte :
(Voir photo ci-​dessous)
Première réaction: Waouh. Elle est belle ET grosse. Je pense que je né finirai pas.
Je plonge délicatement ma fourchette dans ma part de gâteau, l’amèné à ma bouche
C’est terriblement crémeux, sucré juste ce qu’il faut, pas du tout lourd comme avec un classic cheesecake, un fort goût de citron vert. La crème Chantilly décorative était en trop (en même temps, je l’ai voulu, mais je né pensais pas que c’était de la Chantilly). J’ai pris mon temps pour le déguster et je l’ai terminé jusqu’à la dernière miette. Un délice. La note ultime pour finir mon week-​end à Boston.
Né me demandez pas si le reste était bon, je n’ai goûté qu’au cheesecake. En même temps, je me voyais mal aller à la Cheesecake Factory pour manger un sundae !! Franchement !
Je me rendrais compte à la fin, en allant aux toilettes, que ce Cheesecake Factory est vraiment très grand, avec de grandes cuisines.
Je crois avoir payé pas loin de 9 $.
Un petit conseil, pour manger un équivalent français de ce cheesecake, du moins dans la texture: Factory and Co (
). Moins dans la texture, mais tout aussi bon et dans la recherché de saveurs: She’s Cake by Sephora (
). Sinon, il reste bien une adresse, mais elle est privée, c’est la mienne ! :)

This was delicious, I still remember it like yesterday.
Fast service, even if it is crowded.

Une MEGA Cheesecake Factory !! je né sais pas combien de couverts il y a dans ce restaurant !! Mais c’est gigantesque. il suffit de passer devant les cuisines ouvertes pour s’en rendre compte. alors ce n’est pas de la grande gastronomie, mais pour manger un Cheesecake c’est sympa !

Die Cheesecake Factory ist und bleibt meine Lieblingsrestaurantkette in den Staaten. Der Service ist grandios und einmal abgesehen von den leckeren Cheesecakes ist auch das sonstige Speiseangebot einfach hervorragend fand bislang alles, was ich hier gegessen habe, exzellent. Sicher ist es etwas teuer als Fastfood, aber dafür zumindest gesünder und an sich würde ich es auch nicht als teuer bezeichnen, sondern akzeptabel.
War hier bei meinem letzten Boston-​Aufenthalt ein paar Male; die Filiale ist sehr groß, trotzdem wird man schnell bedient, und wenn es draußen nicht zu heiß war, konnte man auch dort gut das Essen genießen. Jederzeit wieder!

Laaaange Wartezeiten, recht Teuer, angeblich deutsches Brot, essen ok
