The Cheesecake Factory

I went here for my birthday with my Mom because I wanted cheesecake.
We sat outside on the patio which was nice except the chairs they have outside left a waffle pattern on my legs. I sat on my napkin and asked the waitress for another one and she forgot, however I think she was in the weeds-​she appeared to have several tables.
I ordered the eggplant parm which is served with a side of pesto angel hair and I ordered a side of mashed potatoes. My Mom ordered the Chicken Alfredo which looked delicious. Both items were very tasty. I forgot how BIG the servings are and it looked like we didn’t eat anything by looking at our plates.
Our server made up for the napkin mishap by serving my cheese cake on a festive plate and sang «Happy Birthday» with the some help of some other servers. She was very nice and the experience was most enjoyable.

One of my favorite restaurants! And I must say the level of customer service here is well above my expectations. The staff are very attentive, professional, and experienced in providing high quality hospitality. I went here 2 weeks ago and it was great as usual. Our waitress, Melissa, was very friendly and carried a nice conversation with our table too. I tried the pineapple moscow mule… delicious and sizable too! I got my favorite entrée, Chicken Di Pana. It never disappoints, but I always wish there was more of the white wine cream sauce. The best thing about The Cheesecake Factory is there is something on the menu for everyone… it is more of a book than a menu after all!

We aren’t huge fans of chain restaurants, but when we want dessert with our meal, and we both want different types of food, this is the place we go for — it’s tried and true, and we have never had a bad experience.
Their menu is huge; it’s a bit overwhelming, but it does offer something for everybody. We’ve been going to Cheesecake for years, and I’ve sampled something from every part of that menu. Their skinny menu is delicious, salads and sandwiches are always good, their (limited) mexican-​ish options are tasty (I love the chicken tacos), and their pasta is always tasty. My boyfriend has tried just about every meat option, and his only complaint was with the filet mignon (it was fatty), and I told him to only order that cut of meat at an actual steak place (he didn’t listen). My only complaint is their burgers — they aren’t necessarily bad, I know a lot of people enjoy them, but I do not care for them at all.
The cheesecakes are always delicious — my favorite is the apple strudel cheesecake! The s’mores cheesecake is also so so tasty. Seriously — even if you’re stuffed, which you probably will be because their portions are huge — either get some cheesecake to go, or split a piece with your table. Just don’t go to Cheesecake Factory without getting cheesecake!
We’ve never had bad service here. Sometimes service may be slow, but that has never bothered us. As long as our food gets to us fresh and hot, we are happy. I highly recommend going either before the dinner rush (like 3 – 4 pm), or after dinner (like 9 pm). If you go during a meal time on the weekend, there’s a good chance you’ll do some waiting. If you go anytime during a holiday (think Mother’s or Father’s day), you’re going to do some serious waiting.
Anyway, I recommend this place. It’s a good meal, great dessert, and a good option when people have different tastes since the menu is so vast.

I was there with my family and we had a party of 7, which we got sat at a reasonable time. Our food did take a bit to come out, but with a party of 7 it should be expected. When we received our food it was still hot and good.

Overpriced, average tasting, incredibly unhealthy food in a cramped, loud environment.

Loved our waitress, Alyssa, and the skinnylicious beef medallions! Who knew you could go reasonably low-​cal at this restaurant?! Delish!

The service was OUTSTANDING that’s the ONLY reason I am giving it a one star… the food was less then impressive! The burger was ordered medium and came out well done and topped with all the things we didn’t ask for… and then the veggie melt I ordered was missing ingredients that were listed on the menu and my second bite into was a mouth full of grit, I am guessing was from the kale. I did eat the side salad it came with but sent the sandwich with out a replacement and when the bill came… they charged me full price and no apologizes for the mishap! I have no issues paying, but it would have been nice for an acknowledgment of the mishap…

The Cheesecake Factory is literally my favorite restaurant in the world (yes I’m serious) so I think it’s fair to say that I hold them to a high standard. That being said, this location lets me down consistently. It’s like a bad boyfriend I keep going back to, hoping he’ll change. There is pretty much always a wait (normally understandable since their food is so bomb) but the service continually disappoints. Cool guy waiters refuse to write your order cause they swear they’ll remember it, but food comes out wrong every time. Drinks take 10+ minutes. Don’t even bother asking for condiments after your plate comes out, it ain’t happening. All things considered if one day you find yourself dying for some garlic farfalle pasta (as I often do), drive to the bayshore location.

We really enjoy the Cheesecake Factory. Greeted and seated immediately at 4:30 pm. Server (Jeremy) was impeccable. Ordered a beet and goat cheese appetizer. OMG! I thought my tongue was going to come out of my mouth and slap me on the back of the head for not trying this before! My wife ordered a veggie burger that while very tasty, fell apart while she was eating it. She had to use a knife and fork to eat it. Her meal came with the best tasting sweet potato fries we have ever had, yum yum! Our server comped the sandwich for us. I ordered the the thick pork chop. It was equally as tasty. Came with a heaping mountain of mashed potatoes tasting oh so good. I swapped in asparagus instead of the standard veggies for a $ 1.00 more. Food was hot (temperature) and fresh.

The lunch portion is huge as well as the cup of soup. I would recommend getting lunch portions prior to 5 PM otherwise share dinner plates with others.

I was torn on how many stars to give… Food = 4, price = 3, service = 2. A group of 4 of us went for lunch on a Saturday and it was packed to the brim. Being right next to the mall, this was no surprise. We were told that the wait would be 20ish minutes and it ended up being closer to 30, which is not anyone’s fault since it is impossible to predict, but the counter staff seemed annoyed to take our name in the first place. Once we got seated, we ordered the spring rolls with soy sauce instead of the peanut sauce due to dietary restrictions and we ordered drinks at the same time. The appetizer came without the soy sauce and our drinks came 15 minutes later (also, I asked for no straws and it came with it anyway). *sigh*
The food though was good (the veggie burger and salad were actually much better than expected and had great flavor, even though it was a little small). Our server was kind but for the price, nothing about the experience was too impressive except for we split one of the peanut butter cheesecake flavors ($ 8) and ok I admit, that was pretty dang good… I think that Cheesecake Factories in general are overrated but I guess if you have a thick wallet and are in no rush whatsoever, once in awhile might be a nice treat but nothing to go out of your way for.

Amanda our server is awesome. She knew everything on that menu. Really appreciate that. Miso Salmon with mash potatoes and their avocado rolls are sensational! Thank you Amanda!

Stephanie W. Great Service. I know it was a busy night, but thank you for checking on us, and getting eye contact. Sorry we didn’t get to say goodbye. Your smile made the difference after an 11 hour drive.

Had lunch here today. Ordered their Mexican Chicken vegetable soup. They should advertise this as a stew or something else, it had so little broth in it — not sure how they can market it as a soup. It was predominantly carrots and tortilla strips — very little chicken and even less broth.
Will have to try some other menu items in the future — everyone else in my group enjoyed their lunch.

Great food, I love the bread they give you as appetizer, I would go again. Service was good and our waitress was great!

I don’t understand what people love about this place. I’ve been here a couple of times and I always leave feeling this is just another applebees or whatever but more overpriced and with an oversized and confused menu of lots of average food.
I can’t say anything here is bad, nor is it good, everything left me thinking why would I pay that for that. The service is always slow, and this location is always loud.
Yep I’m done with the CCF and can’t imagine anything short of the free lunch that brought me in this time bringing me back.

Lost in the menu
Vast selection of items with huge portions. Service is always attentive. Prices are reasonable for what you’re getting. Oh so yummy cheesecake!

This is one of the better Cheesecake Factory locations that I have been too. Cheesecake is one of my favorite desserts, so it comes as no surprise that this chain is one of my favorites.
I really like the design of this one. It has high ceilings and a welcoming décor. The staff was really nice. Our waiter was really friendly and made great small talk– he noticed my girlfriend’s Batman shirt and they excitedly talked about upcoming movies and TV shows.
It’s a little pricey, but the portions are massive. If you eat like I do, you pretty much get two meals– one portion that you finish at the restaurant and another that you get to enjoy later at home. The menu is so long, but it offers something for everyone. From Chinese food to burgers, to pasta, and everything in between. They also have the best free bread at the start of the meal– seriously, the honey wheat brown bread is one of the reasons to go.
I went with my girlfriend and her mother. My girlfriend ordered the Factory combination, with Steak Diane and Herb Crusted Salmon with mashed potatoes. She was really happy with everything on her plate. Her mother and I both had Chicken Madeira, and it was amazing. The sauce is the perfect amount of sweetness, and the portion is massive. Her mom loved it too, it was her first time having it and she was really pleased.
Naturally, we had to get dessert. Mother got the 30^th Anniversary Chocolate Cake Cheesecake. It’s layers of cheesecake, fudge cake, and truffle cream. It looked outrageously decadent, and she said it was a good life choice. The girlfriend ordered the Kahlua Cocoa Coffee Cheesecake, and loved it enough that she only ate half so she could enjoy the rest later. I ordered the Oreo Dream Extreme Cheesecake and oh my god, it might be my new favorite. It was so rich and creamy.

Never can go wrong with The Cheesecake Factory. Probably one of the best restaurant chains around. So many different types of cuisine to choose from. Italian, Cajun, Vietnamese, British, American, and more.
Went for lunch and was incredibly impressed with the quality and amount of servers they had. Definitely prepared and organized. I tried the Spicy Chipotle Chicken Pasta, oh boy. Really really filling and wonderful. Tasted the same when I warmed up some for dinner. Outdoor patio was really nice and much more quiet of a selection than inside.

Busy and intimidating!
Came here on a Friday night around dinner time. We were on our way to see a MKE Bucks game and wanted to eat before tip off. Even with having my boyfriends mom who lives close to the restaurant to go early to grab a table since they didn’t take RSVP, we waited about a hour to be seated. Granted, it was 5 of us and there were more people coming through the door then there were people leaving. It was totally intimidating to walk through the door and seeing the hungry patrons wait for their buzzer to sound stating their table was ready. It was absolutely packed.
Finally, we are seated and given warm bread and butter. Menu is gigantic. Almost overwhelming. You don’t know where to start and where to end. The nice thing is there is much variety meaning you will find something that interest you. It’s impossible not too. Even on a busy night, service was pretty good and food came out at a reasonable time. Portion sizes are huge. You won’t have room for cheesecake!
If you haven’t been to a Cheesecake Factory, it is worth the drive, wait and price which isn’t very bad. I would place them better than «A-​OK» but the lack of seating is problematic. They really need to expand by maybe adding an upstairs dining area or bar to create more room.
