I been here multiple times, but I normally go at lunch to save a few dollars. The atmosphere is mostly mixed on any given night. They have a variety of dishes which I admire. The waiter/waitress are normally pretty good. I know they don’t take reservation, but the earlier you go the better chance you have not to wait. Like I mention earlier in normally go at lunch which the prices are decent, because you can get lunch size portions. Dinner in would recommend you bring your wallet/purse. There isn’t any Two for 20.00 going on here.

Ohhhhh man… This was honestly my very first time at Cheesecake Factory. I got the garlic noodles a side Caesar salad*who’s dressing was TDF!!* and I got a strawberry daiquiri. and the absolute bestest part… Godiva cheesecake0.0 omgggggg. the noodles were pretty good, had to send the shrimp back it was awful! They didn’t skimp on the alcohol. one sip of that puppy gave me goosebumps! Woo I’m alive! Then that cheese cake came and I felt like I was slowly being raised into the clouds. It was soo chocolatey. My friend giggled while I ate it. I think it was the first thing I could find that actually shut me up for a minute. Man it’s good, you can taste the coco powder and the seeetness and the cheesecakeyness oh dear ‘scuse me I need to mop up this puddle of drool forming. love it!

An exceeding average and commercialized restaurant. My partner and I decided this would be a great last minute supper location. We were seated quickly, but at the smallest table for two I’ve ever seen. With less than two feet between tables, it was very awkward sitting down. The other side effect of packing in customers is the noise level makes it hard to have conversations. It was disappointing. It took awhile using their weird lengthy menu, flipping through alternating advertisements and menu items. I feel the«healthy» items are unnecessary, no one comes to The Cheese Cake Factory to eat healthy. The extra dishes just bloat the menu even more. I suppose they couldn’t cram as many customers in if they didn’t try to appeal to everyone. Not even going to comment on the décor. Ordered Buffalo Blasts®, which is blobs of buffalo chicken dip battered and fried. They were actually very good and plenty for two people. For my main dish, Pasta With Chicken And Scampi Sauce, it was delicious. Garlic, cream, and pasta! I was hooked as soon as I read it. Although I admit the food is good, it doesn’t make up for a disappointing dining experience. The dinning room was clean, as well the restroom. The staff friendly and efficient. This could have been great, but they sacrifice customer experience for profits.

I have only been here a couple of times and each time I have gotten pasta dishes. The food is usually good but the shrimp tends to be severely overcooked. Their veggies however always seem very fresh. The menu is absolutely gigantic so there is bound to be something for everyone which is great. I have never had the cheesecake as I am lactose intolerant but it of course always looks amazing and hurts my stomach just thinking of it. They have a bar area which really needs to be larger but has an extensive offering just like the menu and desserts. The service had been good each time. If you go for dinner though, expect a wait. Sometimes you can get seated faster if you want to sit outside. On colder nights they do have the heaters on which on a night like my last visit(it was in he 50’s) it made it nicer but hot tea was still required! The prices are a tad high but the portions are a good size I would return with a group but this isn’t my first choice if I am on my own.

I have been to so many different locations in different states and I have to say this ine is not that great. Within the last 2 months we have been to this location 5 times and 3 out of the 5 times something was wrong. The last 2 times, we were given the wrong food completely. This last time we ordered 3 meals and some cheesecake to go and a salad while we waited. The salad was great. The food on the other hand was misplaced and took over 30 mins to come out after 2 different people went to check on it. I think management needs to step it up on this. A manager walked by us 6 times stopping to watch the football game on the tv. Maybe they should have been doing a little more to make sure the right food or any food got to the customers. The food ended up being cooked wrong. We ordered med-well done stake and it was bright red. The rest of the food was cold by time we got home and we only live less than 5 mins away. So you can say that this may be the last time we go to this location for a long time.

Went on a Monday during lunch and at at the bar. Bartender Anthony recommended his favorite salmon, the miso and it was so so so so so so good!!! The flavor was a little sweet but perfect. The mashed potatoes were flavorful and the broccoli was immaculate. It was a little over $ 14 but well worth it! I ate everything on my plate.

A lot of people rave about it. The desserts are good, Somewhat similar to the the cheesecake at junior’s in ny. After a few visits… I’m not a fan of the meal items. My sister and her husband were visiting from California and they said they were disappointed as well. Apperently, i have to try the cheesecake factory out there because it is much better, both in terms of food quality and customer service. We were attempting to purchase quite a few desserts prior to arriving. but were informed we couldn’t have a taste sample of anything. That made no sense, so rather then potentially waste money on deserts we weren’t sure we would like, when we left we went to panera and purchased our deserts there instead.

I’m really not sure what all the hype is about over Cheesecake Factory. After multiple visits I’m just not a big fan. If the review was based strictly on the cheesecake itself than yes I would give at least 4 stars because it is delish! Pricey but delish! As far as the food, I have yet to leave impressed. The last time I came to Cheesecake Factory I ordered buffalo chicken strips off the appetizers for $ 10 and they tasted like frozen, heavily breaded chicken tenders. I also got an angry orchard cider and with tip it was right over $ 20. Just seems pricey for the quality of food you receive. I have also had several of the specialty cocktails which are also very good but again expect to pay $ 10-$ 12. For two people, with an appetizer, 2 entrees, a dessert and a few cocktails be prepared to spend well over $ 100. I hear they have a decent happy hour so perhaps that may be a better idea than a full blown dinner.

So this place is amazing. My girlfriends and I went here after a night out and loved it! Our server was awesome. He was honest and so helpful. Not once did I think about something I «needed’ because he was attentive and on top of things. I had the salmon dish with broccoli and mash potatoes. My dish was huge. I had salmon for leftovers which was great! The mash potatoes were perfect! SO yummy. And the broccoli was fresh and perfectly cooked. I also ordered a glass of prosecco which completed my dinner nicely. Being on a gluten free diet I couldn’t eat the cheesecake or try there bread but I loved my meal and will for sure come back ! Both of my friends were very satisfied with there entrees as well. I am not sure how this night is during prime time as we came after rush hour(around 11pm) but I look forward to the next time I can go here.

The cheesecake is fantastic of course. The pumpkin and the chocolate peanut butter cup are my favorites. I do not care for the«cheesecakes» that are really just two big layers of cake with a layer of cheese cake like icing in the middle. If you are looking for a good lunch or dinner dish try the Pasta Alfredo and add Chicken.

Some friends were in town and both of them liked cheesecake but had never been to «The Factory». Mom and I decided to meet them one Sunday morning for brunch. Now I’ve been to the Town Center that early before so I knew where I could find a parking spot easily.(Nope, not sharing hahaha). We all met up and walked inside. It’s about 11:45-Noon and there was no wait. Thank god. We sat in a booth on the side near the front. The«Jags in London» game was on and the bar area was full and glued to the TVs. Not interested. We spent most of the time gabbing but we did over food, eventually. I got a Strawberry Lemonade to drink and it was good but sweet. Most of the syrup was on the bottom. And the glasses it came in were huge! Wow. I spent most of the time stuck on the brunch and eggs & omelettes menu inserts since it was still that time and settled on the Crab Hash: Sauteed Crab, Red, Yellow, and Green Peppers, Onions and Potatoes, and topped with two Poached Eggs with Hollandaise Sauce. My dining companions were skeptical about that dish like, how much crab, is it real crab, is there a lot of hash, etc. But I bit the bullet, it sounded good and I was gonna get it. Our server was very attentive and brought us bread service and oh my goodness. I loved that the bread was of different varieties and the butter, while packaged, tasted freshly churned. It was about 15 – 20 mins before our food came out and I tore into it, after my family inspected it. It was delicious! Everything was great. I couldn’t eat the toast that also came with it or all the potatoes. But that’s ok. I was saving room for dessert I’d been told beforehand that they had Mango Key Lime Cheesecake so I only focused on that one and got it. The cheesecake was good but I really wasn’t feeling the layer of shredded coconut on top of the crust. That’s just my preference though. Go get your cheesecake fix but go early!

First, let me preface with… it is very corporate. That being said, it’s a decent place to go if you want a massive menu and tons of items to choose from. Obviously, have to try the cheesecakes. I’ve tried a number of different ones and they are pretty darn tasty. I love the fact that they have the skinnylicious menu because it doesn’t have as much fat, butter, etc… and I know exactly how many calories I’m sucking down before I can get dessert ;) The staff has been friendly and the servers as well, although they do take a bit of time to bring your drinks and orders, even when it’s not busy. I’ve been to this location approximately 4 times and it’s always the same. I wish there prices weren’t so high, but… the food is pretty consistent.

Can Always count on them for a good meal and outing that won’t break your bank but it may well bend it. LOL! They’ve always been consistent & have the best assortment of deserts hands down. I often get the gargantuan burrito… think it’s called the Factory Burrito. Specific ratings: The Service was 4 – 4.5(always greeted quickly and good wait staff; can be a wait during busy times), Facility 5(immaculately kept and decorated), Food 4 – 4.5(pretty good on taste; portions are huge), Price/cost 3.5−4(comparatively priced with competitors; overall a lil pricey but fine for what you receive). Summary: Definitely recommended.

Even when this place is crowed, the service was great. It took our food no time to get to us and our server did great keeping our cups full. The Louisiana Pasta Chicken is always my favorite from here.

There is really only one reason to go to The Cheesecake Factory, and that is for cheesecake. I’ve never really understood why people choose to frequent this place when it is overpriced and the food is poor to mediocre in quality and flavor. However, the cheesecake is great(because all cheesecake is great)! The only reason I actually stopped in for lunch was because a very gracious student gave me a gift card for the restaurant after I mentored her for a month. I’ve been to a few other locations in different cities throughout the nation and have had a similar experience(hey, at least they’re consistent). I ordered the Louisiana Chicken Pasta(a horridly bland thing that I later found out has over 2000 calories! — how?! The stuff tasted like nothing) that was aggravatingly disappointing. I love Louisiana and I love pasta so surely some sort of magic should have happened… but lets just say that it was très ennuyeux. It was an insult to one of the most vibrant areas of the country. As far as service was concerned, it was pretty poor too. Our server was working way too many tables for his skill level and wasn’t managing very well. Service was slow and not all that impressive. The only thing that was great was the cheesecake… and let’s face it, that’s because it combines two of the greatest things known to man: cheese and cake. Voila! Ecstasy! Cheesecake factory is not the best cheesecake in the world but it is good and probably one of the better ones you’ll find in Jax(although I can’t be sure because I’ve never had cheesecake at any other restaurant in Jax so don’t believe a word of that statement — I just assume that Jax isn’t teeming with cheesecakeries). Anyways, go here for the dessert. Get your dinner or lunch elsewhere. It is way to expensive for crappy flavorless food that you could prepare better at home.

We decided to make a visit to Cheesecake Factory tonight. We were both craving it and it sounded like a fast easy dinner that we both enjoy. It ended up being not so fast but ended well. When we got there it was quite a surprise even for tomorrow being a holiday that it was jammed packed! They told us that it would be 20 minutes at 7:15. By the time I pager went off it was 8 o’clock. Thinking that we were being sat 45 minutes later we then waited another 10 minutes to get our table. I do understand the uncertainty of never predicting how business will be in a restaurant but a fair judgment of giving wait times is only common curtesy. When we were sat we noticed that we were sat in a section that a large party just got up so the poor server got quadruple sat with four two top tables. I completely felt for how he was feeling because I know how it is as a server to be in this position. He definitely didn’t let the challenge stop him from delivering great service. We ordered both our favorite dirty martinis that are always delicious with fresh Blue cheese olives. We also ordered our favorite appetizer the shrimp spring rolls with a delicious peanut and ginger dipping sauce. My husband always gets his favorite pasta Da Vinci and I decided to try something new the luau salad which was absolutely phenomenal! The salad was enormous it could’ve fed four! With excellent flavors of mango, macadamia nuts thin sliced chicken all layered on crisp wontons with a sesame drizzle and green onions and green beans it was all so fresh and delicious. I will definitely order it again! Not to mention it will be lunch tomorrow! Overall the dinner was great and like any other dinner at cheesecake that leaves you very full and no room for cheesecake lol I guess you always have to expect this place to be super busy because obviously they’re doing something right there food is always great and the services as well.

Our first double date took place two weeks ago. It was a Saturday night and of course we chose the worse day to go to the cheesecake factory. It was packed wall to wall, and outside so we had a hour wait. Our waiters name was Tre(something) he wasn’t really attentive to our particular table but showed his other customers great attention. For that he lost $ 20 off his tip. The food took some time but our great conversations overlooked that small details. We had the spicy chicken nachos for the appetizer and they were amazing. Definitely enough to share with four ppl. We also ordered a Thai dish, the gumbo, meatloaf mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese, and steak. The food was very good, we all seemed to like each other’s more than our own. Cheesecake selections: Plain, Turtle and two Red Velvet cheesecakes. They were amazing, of course, I mean it isn’t called the cheesecake factory for nothing. Go in the morning/afternoon time to avoid the rush of the night owls. Other than that it’s truly a great experience.

I hae been to this location a couple of times now when I go to visit friends in Jax. The first time I went I sat at the bar and just add some small bites. I also downed about 2 delicious frozen bellinis. Service was decent. They were pretty dead that afternoon. I think the staff was pretty bored, so they weren’t too attentive. But my water got filled up every time it was half full! I did go here for brunch on Father’s Day. Why? Well, because I wasn’t home for Father’s Day, and we were hungover and wanted foooooood! This trip was less enjoyable. We had to wait to be seated for about 15 minutes – which was fine. We got there right there right when they opened, so the got a bit rushed. Once seated, however, we had to wait for about 30 minutes for our server to come over and take our drink order. He was nice, but couldn’t handle the amount of tables he had and seemed completely overwhelmed. We got our drinks, but it was difficult to get refills. After ordering, our food took awhile. So we gobbled down 2 servings of bread. I had just ordered some eggs, bacon, and potatoes. It was decent, but the potatoes were TOTALLY overcooked. Basically, getting anything extra from our waiter was incredibly difficult and after awhile we just gave up. I understand it was a Holiday and they were busy, but a chain like this should plan better for these instances. I have gone to better locations in Miami(shocker). Also, the restaurant was not very clean. The floors looked like they hadn’t been swept or mopped all weekend… which is strange because they had just opened when we got there. Oh well, its fine to run here, but we know what we are getting!
