The Cheesecake Factory

Service started out a little slow, but the server went out of his way to make up for it (he was swamped with a larger party). My friend and I started with the portabella, avocado, and zucchini fries (yum!), then split the macaroni and cheese burger. A) Glad we got it! B) Glad we split it! Such great flavor and texture! We should have split the cheesecake, too. Woof. I always forget how overwhelming their big desserts can be! Tasty, but overwhelming. I branched out with the Reese’s Cup cheesecake and c was not disappointed with its salty-​sweet flavor and the texture of the peanut butter cups. A good experience overall!

Great food, as always. One can always expect to get a good meal at this place. We had a waiter named Nick. He was a pleasant guy, just like any decent waiter, but what made him special was his personality. He had a special flair that showed a hard working attitude and strong managerial ability.

The appetizers are so filling, we don’t have room for an entrée! We usually split the delicious Avocado Egg Rolls and then choose a slice of Cheesecake to bring home. So delicious!

Went in with high expectations. Service sucked. Waited for refills and hour for food. The place looked cool. Cheesecake looked cool. Prices are outrageous. You’re better off going to a better fancy/​pricey restaurant.

Always love the Cheesecake Factory.
This was a Monday night and we wanted to try on a less busy night which it wasn’t busy at all. We got seated right away. Once seated we where asked for drinks. We got water.
On my wife’s water cup it looked like it had not been washed. It had major floatage. Something crusty around the inside. She didn’t notice until after drinking for a a few minutes.
We let waiter know. He immediately got fresh cup.
The food after that was very tasty and the service was very good.
Bread was good as well.

Skinnylicious Asian Chicken Salad with iced mint green tea & S’more Galore or Vanilla Bean cheesecake for desert!

Is the Cheesecake Factory really worth all the hype/​price? Not really. But do I still come here all the time and make great memories with family and friends? Absolutely. I am not a picky person. The food is good, service is always at least passable, and I will probably never stop coming here.

Just like Webber grill and Bonefish, Cheesecake is one of those chain locations I have no real problem with. Not sure I would have spent my own money here but had a $ 50 gift card with 2 complimentary slices of cheese cake, so yeah I’m down.
Like others have commented the menu is the size of War and Peace, can you imagine prep time for all of that? Decided on the grilled pork chop, wife got the bang bang chicken and shrimp combo, kid got the grilled cheese. Pork chop was good, moist all the way through, sides of mashed potatoes and green beans were competent, wife’s meal was good, too much rice for me even the kids grilled cheese was good.
Service was kind of slow, slammed for a Sunday afternoon our waitress was overwhelmed, once it lightened up was much more efficient she was very nice and apologetic. Cheesecake was wicked good, huge not sure what it cost as it was free, if it’s free it’s me, could have ate the whole thing myself, kid and wife got in the way.
I know it’s hip to bash chains, but really every time I’ve eaten here I can’t complain, would I have eaten here without a gift card? Meh it’s a push, if somebody else is buying, I wouldn’t complain.

Love Cheesecake Factory. Love it! The only bummer about this place is that I think you pay more for the atmosphere than for the quality of food. The food is good, but not 5 stars at all. But the cheesecake is 5 stars! That alone should get five stars. On of my favorites being the pineapple upside down cheesecake. If you can afford the calories… Get you a slice :)

Very pleased with service, everything from our appetizer to drinks, entrée, and desert were superb. Even our server, who was in training, was great. Will definitely be back

I took my daughter here for a ‘fancy’ girls lunch a couple of days ago. It had been years since I’d been to the Cheesecake Factory, mostly because this place is pricey. That hasn’t changed. But the food and atmosphere are still great.
Our service was kind of slow, which always annoys me when I’m hungry, but the waitress was very nice otherwise. I had the margarita pizza and managed to eat half of it. My kiddo had the kids mac and cheese and the portion was enormous. She also managed to only eat about half of it. We split a piece of the 30^th Anniversary chocolate cheesecake and it was divine. And we brought a piece of the Oreo cheesecake home for my husband, who said it was delicious.
Our two entrees, two drinks, and two pieces of cheesecake came to $ 50, including the tip. Which quickly reminded me why it’s been so long since I’ve eaten here. But it was a nice little treat for me and the kid, so it was worth it.

hubby and I went for a appetizer date night. we shared the avocado egg rolls and the best part of the appetizer is the sauce– not that the egg rolls are bad at all. i had the guacamole «super food» salad but at first is was brought out with chicken mixed in and took some time to get the right salad out. hubby got the falafel (super food) salad and the falafel was probably the best of the times we had bought it because it was warm and crispy and has been pretty gooey the other times we had ordered it.

Food is absolutely amazing I’ve never been dissatisfied with the quality of it. Very happy with our server as well.
The front of the house was the only problem we had.
During this instance we were told there would be a 60 minute wait. Ok, no problem. We go next store to Barnes and Noble for a bit and after 50 minutes check back in to make sure we didn’t miss our summoning. I was told at that time it’d be abother 10 – 15 minutes. Ok, sounds about right.
30 minutes later. I go to make sure we haven’t been skipped or overlooked or forgotten or erased because surely the people who came in after us shouldn’t be getting seated as quickly as they were.
I’m told that they paged us ‘about 20 minutes ago’ and was asked, ‘did your pager not go off?‘
Um, clearly it did not. That is the reason for our current conversation and I was actually standing here talking to you right around the time that you say we were ‘paged’.
You came through shouting the name for a party of 6 at least 3 times but never once called out for our party of 3.
There were no apologies, no recognition of a problem or mistake or miscommunication or anything on their end. They wanted to act like heroes because they ‘could seat us immediately’. I’m not impressed, we should have been seated 20+ minutes ago. Offer me an apology or a free appetizer or something for our wasted time.
They need to work on the consistency and thoroughness of the front end of things then they’d get a solid 5 star rating because everything else is on point.

Excellent food and wait staff! Tops across the board.
Peak times have long waits but that’s to be expected when it’s a good place.

Service was kinda slow for a weeknight, but that wasn’t a big deal, especially when you dine in at Cheesecake Factory where menu is so extensive, nevertheless the food was excellent and on spot as usual, my meal was the Chicken Madeira, highly recommended :)
Oh, and the best part of the visit, was of course the one and only, Red Velvet Cheesecake !

The food was poor, the service was snail-​like, and our waitress, Whitney B, did NOT ever smile or appear to remotely enjoy what she was doing. When we needed her, she was rarely visible, and did not heed our attempts to hail her down. When it came time to pay the bill, she had to be hunted down.
We were seated within 5 minutes of arrival for a Monday lunch after what would be the END of a lunch period (12:45). The food took a L-​O-​N-​G time to arrive, and when it DID finally come out, the child’s meal for the 16 month old baby came out LAST, leaving us to try and keep a baby from melting down from hunger since the limited amount of bread had been consumed during our lengthy wait. One of the meals was luke warm as if it had sat for a while waiting to be served.
Offers to refill drinks were not made… I had to ask for a to go refill, even though my glass was empty during much of the meal, and this request took an extreme amount of time, even though we’d communicated more than once the need for us to go.
We asked for our cheesecake to go since we’d indicated a need to leave in a timely manner. When it finally came, there were no forks/​spoons, so I asked a bus boy. We received more service and friendliness from him than our waitress, and it was his first day. When the waitress eventually returned with the to go boxes and no bag, she stuffed them in the bags that had cheesecake in them.
I’d say if the service was this poor during a non-​rush time, I’d dread to attempt it during a busy time. I would NOT recommend this Cheesecake Factory to anyone… or if you DO decide to attempt it, allow for extra time and definitely don’t have anything of importance scheduled for later in your day. When people spend the kind of money we spent for lunch, smiles and friendly service should not be optional!

Mr. Jen F lured me here one Saturday.
The food is actually pretty decent, but seriously the menu is a book. How is that even possible?
We started with the house made guacamole, which was super yummy. Seriously, though, guacamole is kind of like pizza. Even when it’s bad, it’s still pretty good. I spent many years not eating guacamole without ever trying it. I declared that I didn’t like it, despite not really knowing. I’m a weirdo like that sometimes.
I had fish tacos and Philip had some kind of pork bbq sandwich.
Portions are huge. Fish tacos don’t reheat well.

My love for cheese cake factory continues.
Although the wait was madness, they were great as usual! They were able to throw together a vegetable medley for me that wasn’t on the menu which was great!
The reason I love cheesecake factory, is that the quality is great and no matter which state you visit them in, you will get the same great food and service.

Ever been to a place where the human experience tanks the taste of a good meal? That is this place. We
What set this one apart in a bad way was the poor management. Never experienced a more rude and clueless manager.
Don’t make the mistake we did and think that you can request a channel change in the bar – even if the bar is empty. And even after bringing the poor behavior of an assistant manager to the attention of the GM, not only was my experience not validated or taken seriously, but to not be wise enough to ask what she could do to win our business back. Will never spend money in a place that treats customers as we were treated.

Trying new things and loooving every bit of it. My new favorite is the ahi cappacio (not sure if I’m spelling it right) but it was absolutely divine. The cream of chicken soup with artichokes and mushrooms… delicious. And my entrée, the fish tacos were really good too.
My tummy was super happy to be here today.
