Cheesecake Factory the

At Cheesecake Factory, a variety of food(including their famous cheesecakes)are offered. Not only is great food offered, but in huge portions making this an excellent value. To start, order one of their appetizers(even though I have never tried them). Don't worry about ordering an asian style appetizer, because in Newsday, they rated chain restaurants and said the asian specialties were not precooked, but made to order. Next, choose your entree or sandwich. I personally recommend the S(Shrimp)LT, brimming with shrimp, lettuce, and tangy tomatoes, one of their juicy, tender steaks, or some grilled chicken medallions with a juicy grilled flavor, this entree is served with mashed potatoes and veggies. While I recommend the Cheesecakes for dessert, I can't have them due to an egg and gluten allergy, however I can eat and love the sweet goblet of strawberries served with freshly made whipped cream and chocolatey chocolate sauce. Considering how this place gets crowded, service is excellent,the waitstaff are patient and extremely friendly. There is faux egyptian decor and soothing music in the background. Cheesecake Factory gets crowded on weekends(Waits up to 1 hour) so get there early. Brunch is usually not crowded but a great time to eat. This is what makes Cheesecake Factory a great restaurant. more

I have been going to the Cheesecake Factory since I discovered the place during law school in Washington. The cheesecakes are incredible and the food is great. They have the best garlic mashed potatoes on earth, which is served with their hot open turkey sandwich. more

I love the style and set design for the Cheesecake Factory. When walking by this restaurant in the Source Mall, you just instinctively know that it belongs in the middle of Manhattan. But when entering and have a meal here, the whole appeal of the restaurant is lost. No matter how nice and flashy the restaurant furnishing are, the food still has to be good or fairly priced. This is not the case at the Cheesecake Factory. Many people say that the Cheesecake Factory is an amazing restaurant. I don't feel that this is true. When I dined here, I had the Pad Thai. A dish I frequently order at different restaurants for comparison. The Pad Thai I had at the Cheesecake Factory was the worst ever! The noodle, cashew, meat proportions were incorrect for a typical Pad Thai dish and the price was ridiculous. At a previous restaurant called Lemongrass in, I had a larger, better tasting dish of Pad Thai for a cheaper price. Mabye my review may be one-sided because I only visited the Cheesecake Factory once and only had one dish there. But the experience was bad enough for me to know I shouldn't return. At least if you do go there, Do Not Get The Pad Thai. There are better places to get it. Hope this is helpful. more

The Cheesecake Factory has a huge menu to go with the huge portions. There is a whole page devoted to just cheesecake so save room. The dining room here is big but there is always a wait for seating. more

The food portions are tremendous. Everything on the menu is great food with a largly American flavor. They have one whole page of the menu strictly for the types of cheesecake they offer so save room for dessert. more
