The Cheesecake Factory

This was our spot for happy hour followed with dinner three times a week. Skinnylicious menu: My favorite was the fire roasted artichokes with the skinny cosmopolitan. My honey enjoyed the happy hour burger with a tall glass of Stella. Other favorites include:
**Soy glazed edamame
Caesar Salad
Chinese chicken salad
**Miso Salmon
The club
White chicken chili
**Chicken marsala and mushrooms
Tiramiso cheesecake
**Pepermint bark cheesecake
The bartenders rock: **John, Greg, Vince and Chase. Sit in the bar area and you’re set. Great atmosphere, conversation, drinks, food and five star service.

The Philly cheesesteak bread is real tough. It was very hard to eat. In fact, I could not eat more than four bites and when I mentioned this to the server, she really didn’t care. They do have a good kids meal selection, and the cheesecake was good, of course.
The bathroom was very messy. Paper towels were everywhere.
My son got a kids meal and was charged $ 3 for a drink. The server asked what size and I wish she would have told me a drink came with meal but the larger one would be $ 3.
Be careful when you leave because there is a column by the door with a square bottom. I hit my knee on the corner and was lucky it didn’t break the skin because it was chipped.

Went to eat dinner tonight with my best friend and son, always have a good experience. Food is awesome! Only downfall tonight was waiter took a little long to take our order, and the lights went out while we were eating. We were really dying for desert after our meal and it was a real bummer the lights went out so we got the check and left!
Other than that food was great!

Cheesecake Factory is average/​trash bc they serve way too many food items for anyone of them to be exceedingly tasty.
if you serve gumbo, kale soup, fried oysters, pizza, every italian dish, tacos and dear meat none of them can be that great.
not saying that I won’t eat cheesecake factory. their alfredo is cool. but I’ve had some things that just weren’t good. at all
Cheesecake Factory did excel in the making cheesecake. I will give them that.
Who else is feeling positive this evening?

Had the Samoas and the dulce cheesecake and I would say it was spectacular, the beef in the Samoas was well seasons and has a crisp bite that melted into your mouth. The beverage the strawberry creamsickle was not the greatest, over powered with alcohol. The sangria was watered down with ice! But overall a great place for a first date

Fresh yummy brunch with a nice atmosphere the waiter was timely and the restaurant was clean

Wonderful dinner served on the patio. The steak Diane was amazing, especially for a chain restaurant. Anne Marie took exceptional care of us and earned a 25% gratuity for her extraordinary efforts. Thank you Cheesecake Factory!

I was very hunrgy and so my family and I decided to go to Cheesecake factory. We like that they have a big menu and that the desserts are huge. But unfortunately, we ended up not having much fun at all.
On a Tuesday night, we arrived at 7pm and after only 10 min., were seated at a booth, which we had requested. But the booth was so dimly lit that I could’t read my menu! Literally… So after a couple of minutes I asked the waitress if we could change seats and she said if I wanted to do that I would have to get up and ask the hostess myself… to which I replied no. I do not have to get up– I have a waitress who can ask her on my behalf. She rolled her eyes and suggested that if I could;t see I should use my iPhone instead… really? How rude, I thought. Why can;t she just help me instead of trying to be sarcastic?
Then the manager comes over and asks me if I would prefer a seat in the middle of the room– with hard chairs. I told him no because our family had just spent 4 hrs on bleachers at the baseball game, so I needed a more comfortable seat. (Not to mention the fact that we specifically asked for a booth from the begging and there are other booths with lights) So he told me that there was no other table. That was simply not true, as there were other tables which had light. There was no sense talking to them. The noise level was really high so I felt like they could’t really hear me– or else were;t trying. I was wanting them to help me, but they were too busy to care. They basically said take it or leave it.
I ended up using my iPhone and letting the kids eat… I drank water since I had lost my appetite. It’s hard to want to to eat drink and be merry when you are treated like you don;t belong. I did;t bother getting drinks, or dessert, since I just wanted to leave asap.
I also tried not to be upset with the fact that the waitress barely came to our table and we had to flag her down for napkins, forks, water, ranch, bread… It was exhausting. We left disappointed. I reluctantly left a tip even though I felt like writing her a note on how to treat your fellow man. But I decided that nothing I would say could change their rude, insensitive demeanor. After all, it was such a small request and they made such a big deal out of it. Apparently business is so good that they don’t have to treat customers with respect.
After that experience, I doubt I’ll be back anytime soon… but that’s OK… I doubt they’ll miss me…

So I have been coming here for the four years I have lived in the area. This is the second time the service is absolutely atrocious within the last month. They do not have this or ran out of that, oh wait we do! Oh bad news we do not after all! And all they say is sorry. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. Done

The Cheesecake Factory hardly disappoints, with their huge menu offering just about anything for the variety of palates.
I had the skinny-​luscious steak medallions and they were tasty but surely small. Of course I knew I was ordering off the skinny-​Lucius menu but it was quite a surprise to see how small they were. I made the mistake of ordering them medium — since they’re so small they came back cooked pretty medium well (my bad).
The cucumber lemonade is where it’s at! They muddle fresh lime in it and it’s absolutely delicious!!! Our server Marcella couldn’t hear us though. And she brought chocolate milk out for my kid even though I distinctly said white. She tried, however– it seemed.

One word: Chicken Madeira!
I guess it’s two words, but none the less delicious! You have to try it!

This was our first visit to The Cheesecake Factory. We were greeted nicely at the front door and shown to our table right away. This was nice as we don’t usually wait, just a habit.
Our waitress took our drink orders and gave us some time to wait for the rest of our party. When she brought our drinks she tried to drop them off and run, but I caught her and ordered an appetizer. The spinach, artichoke cheese dip was typical, nothing to rave about.
Our party arrived and her drink order was taken and delivered. When our waitress came to take our order we had been catching up and my friend hadn’t gotten a chance to look at the menu so she asked if our could be put in while she took a moment to look.
The waitress walked away and I actually caught her rolling her eyes with a look of disgust on her face!
When my friend had gotten a chance to decide she called her over and gave her the order. Our order that was put in about 5 minutes earlier than hers arrived almost 5 minutes after hers.
I ordered a vegan club salad, it was great.
My husband ordered the lemon herb chicken, it was so overboard on the lemon that was all he could taste. Most definitely not worth his money.
My friend ordered the eggplant parmesan and it was so tough she had to borrow my husband’s steak knife to cut it.
All in all we waited longer than was necessary but we are OK with that as we were relaxing and enjoying each other’s company. The waitress must of been having a bad day, but put on a smile and wasn’t rude to our faces. Not worth the $ 100+ bill for three, may not go back, but may try another one for comparison.

Yes this is a huge chain restaurant with locations all over the United States but this is a very good one. Every location has a very similar layout and décor, yet each one is uniquely different depending on the space or building it’s located in.
The menu is the same though and the food is very good. Everything is very fresh and tastes great. It’s a huge menu though which can be frustrating if you are hungry. We are talking everything from Asian to a simple hamburger. Not to worry though, you are going to like whatever you try.
My most recent visit I had the fried macaroni and cheese balls appetizer and a classic hamburger. Both were outstanding!
Staff is always friendly and if something isn’t right, they will make it right with no questions asked. They can substitute just about anything on the menu as well.
Cocktails are pretty darn good too, there is a large cocktail menu as well.
You can also visit Grand Lux Café, Cheesecake’s sister restaurant. Different menu, but just as extensive. Just as good too!
Enjoy!

I ordered off the «Skinnylicious» menu. Not really because I’m trying to watch my weight, but because I can’t eat cheese and one of the only pastas without cheese was on that menu. I also ordered the side house salad, which was decent, but drenched with too much salad dressing and the tomatoes was not a «good» ripe tomato. I also ordered the chicken rigatoni pasta in red sauce with basil. Nothing too amazing, I could definitely cook something just as delicious at home. So I enjoyed the food overall, but found it all a bit overpriced.
The nice thing is that even on a Friday night they will take reservations for large groups.

I’m not big on chain restaurants but gave this one another try mostly because I was taking a friend and her daughter out for her birthday. 3 people — no alcoholic drinks nearly $ 80 with the tip, how ridiculous. Mediocre service, which had to be hunted down several times for water and soft drink refills, they didn’t even give my friend anything for her birthday.
Best part is when we were ready to leave, we were told we would have to wait because their systems were down and they couldn’t close anyones bill out — so 20 minutes and no apologies or discount later, we got our check. It will be my last time at any Cheesecake Factory, they can take their overpriced crap and keep it.

Save some room in your stomach for those guilty pleasures, this is The Cheesecake Factory after all. They have an insane variety of cheesecakes. The Red velvet, Fresh strawberry and the original are my favorites.
However, if you are not into Cheesecakes they also have some mean ice cream sundaes and cakes. The Black out cake is so Gooey (must have if your a chocoholic).
I generally end up eating just appetizers and desserts because the dessert portions are really huge and can be shared by two (or Not).
They have a pretty extensive menu with a good variety of cocktails, Beer, Wine, Milkshakes etc.
I tried the Peach Bellini which is a blend of Champagne, peaches and peach Liqueur. It was quite refreshing and tasted more like a peach smoothie nothing too strong. We also had some stuffed Mushrooms and Crispy fried Cheese.
The booths are cozy with dim lights, service was fast and friendly. This Location definitely scores higher than the others.
Cheers!

When going to this restaurant location specifically I recommend parking in the paid parking lot across from the entrance. It will give you a little yellow token that you can validate when you are leaving and will save you the hassle of trying to find a spot in this busy location.
Now for the restaurant! This is one of my favorite restaurants to go to and the only Cheesecake Factory location I really like. The atmosphere is very lively sometimes noisy and most workers are very friendly and helpful. The lighting is rather dim in certain seating locations. I would say it is «too romantic» when it comes to the lighting if that was a lighting setting.
Almost all of the servers I have had in the past were great with timing, knowledge of the vast menu, friendliness and attention to your needs. The food is always great and I have never regretted my decision when ordering. The Red Sangria and Moscow Mules were perfect for drink choices. I even ordered an A.M.F. (a dangerously blue heavier alcoholic drink. Those who know understand) which was not even on the drink menu. I was surprised on how accommodating this location was. They even bring an extra plate if you are sharing a dish and have split it up before. I recommend the Shrimp Bistro Pasta or Chicken Madeira for a main entrée and the Portabella, Avocado and Zucchini Fries for an appetizer. Those are just my go to choices.
The only problem, as with every other Cheesecake Factory or Man vs. Food competition, is trying to reach that last bite and in this scenario it’s the cheesecake. This cheesecake is probably more total calories than all the food leading up to it and it’s worth it. If you ask for a cheesecake to-​go container you will put it in the fridge only to open it up before bed and finish it.
I highly recommend this location and restaurant chain and don’t forget to validate before leaving.

The epic tome of a menu makes for a fun decision process. It was very busy Saturday night and we had good service and food. I had both heathy choices and cheesecake and was very pleased with myself. :)
Apparently this is the place teen girls want to go for thier birthday. If you are ever stuck trying to figure out a gift idea, get a Cheesecake Factory gift card. You will be the coolest adult ever.

When we got here we were spoken to right away which was nice. We waited about 5 minutes before being seated. The waitress was very nice. For appetizers we had buffalo wings and fried zucchini. The wings were very good and the zucchini was average, not a lot of flavor. I had a Patron margarita on the rocks and it was one of the best I have had. My boyfriend had a mango margarita frozen and it was okay. I ordered the fish tacos and they were extremely bland I had to send them back. I was very disappointed in them. Even the rice and beans were not that good. He had a cheeseburger which he said he liked. I got a slice of Godiva chocolate cheesecake to go and I loved it.
We sat at a booth which was stiff as a rock. If I do come back it’ll be for the margarita and the cheesecake.

It’s like any other Cheesecake Factory out there, though with all the common problems I have with TCF this one stood out because of our great server, Brittaney.
The bread served was good, I’m always a fan of sourdough but they were hardly warm.
For apps, I had the Tuna Tartare which was good, strong in flavor but the portion was way too small for something to cost $ 7. It came with barely enough fried off wontons to eat with the tartare.
I split the Louisiana Chicken pasta and even so the portion was filling. Good pasta with a kick to eat, creamy sauce and perfectly fried chicken.
For dessert I went with something light, so I decided on the Fresh Banana Cream Cheesecake. It was a bit too warm for my liking as I like my cheesecakes cold. The flavor was light and not too sweet though.
Our server Brittaney was so nice and gave great suggestions! A great waitstaff here overall. I suppose it’s just the food here that can be a hit or miss and the price point is way more than what it should be.
