Just finished putting in half a day at the convention center and also arrived here today in Anaheim. Decided to stop here for a late lunch, early dinner and at this time it's really not that busy, which is nice. I was cheerfully greeted and seated immediately, and my server was outstanding. He came and took my drink order and also brought me the famous freshly baked bread, basket with butter, which I love. I decided to go with the factory meatloaf, and it was a very good selection. The potatoes were perfect. The meatloaf was very good and very flavorful and the corn was very good as well, no complaints whatsoever. The food arrived, hot and well presented, and they give you a large portion, I had to take some back to the hotel to enjoy the day after. Ambience was very casual. The inside was very clean as always. read more

We went to the Cheesecake Factory recently for dinner. Our server was amazing. She was nice, friendly, and very accommodating. The menu had so many dishes to choose from, so you're bound to find something you want. I just wish they have more shrimp options. * Calamari 3/5 - I love calamari and was disappointed in these. They were very plain with no flavor. The garlic dip was good and made the calamari slightly better. I didn't like the cocktail sauce since it had horseradish and a bitter aftertaste. * Factory Nacho 3.5/5 - These were decent, though nothing exciting. * Shrimp Scampi 3/5 - This used to be my go to, but I haven't had it recently and I think they changed the recipe. The pasta and sauce were very sour. Thankfully, the shrimp had very good flavor. It was lightly breaded which made up a nice crunchy exterior. * Shrimp and Chicken Gumbo 4.5/5 - The gumbo was very flavorful. The protein amount was generous. There was meat in every bite. * Salmon (Kid version) 4/5 - This was a pretty good size salmon. It was tasty and wasn't dry either. * Coconut Limeade 5/5 - Nice soda with refreshing coconut flavor. read more

Happy Hour, is only available Monday- Friday 4pm- 5pm while seated in the bar section. We order the avocado egg rolls, Thai chili shrimp, chicken pot sticks to start and all three were full of flavor and large enough portions to split each one. Next we tried the slider, sadly these did not have much flavor at all. Lastly we ordered the peanut butter cup cheesecake, this was amazing, highly recommend! Service was great! Both bartenders checked on us regularly. Parking tip: if you park in the Garden Walk garage bring your ticket with you. The restaurant can validate your parking. read more

Disappointing experience! I spent over $26 for a salad at cheesecake factory to basically only receive a container full of lettuce and a few toppings that included cheese, beans and tortilla strips. See pictures. The salad was also supposed to include chicken and avocado. I spent 3.50 plus for extra avocado, and I don't even think the standard amount of avocado existed in the salad. The chicken was very minimal as well and poor quality. The chicken tasted like process chicken rather than slice chicken breast. Given the cost and quality of the salad I would not order this again. This order was to go. If I was in house, I would have returned the salad. Disappointing experience for the price. read more

Parking - They validate your parking in the Garden Walk garage, so bring your ticket with you. Happy Hour (4pm-6pm, M-F) - They have some good deals on this menu. HH is only served in the bar area. I love the avocado egg rolls, chicken pot stickers and the Thai Chili shrimp (not spicy). Avoid ordering the sliders as they aren't very flavorful. Service - Mike at the bar was great! He was friendly and checked on us regularly. Birthday cheesecake is a great perk since you can order any of their options. We enjoyed the Reece's peanut butter one. read more

Came here after a day of downtown Disney and they were able to sit us within 15 minutes which was very nice, as all of the other restaurants around a tremendously long wait. It did take a bit of time to get our food out, but they were busy so we understand. I ordered their Peruvian chicken bowl and it was very good. The right was only OK but the chicken definitely had some flavor to it and so that the sauce that came with it. It is a great portion for the price! This is definitely the place to go to if you want something reliable . read more

9/10 Buffalo Blasts - I would say these are a little pricey for what I'm getting. $20 for this is kind of insane, that's literally another whole meal. It is good though, I'll give you that. 8/10 Chicken Piccata - I wanted to try something different that I haven't had before. It's good, but it lacks flavor, seasoning, and salt. The chicken was tasty though. I ended up taking it home and re-cooking it with more seasoning. Cost - Buffalo Blasts $19.50, Chicken Piccata $27.95. read more

Updating my experience with The Cheesecake Factory because this order was so good. We tried the grilled chicken & avocado club for the 1st time & it was phenomenal. It had a generous amount of chicken & the combination of melted cheese, bacon, avocado, tomato & a creamy ranch style sauce made it so flavorful. It was big enough for me & my husband to share & we still felt very full. The avocado egg rolls are still a staple for us! They never disappoint & the tamarind cashew sauce is honestly the best part. I just wish there was an easier way to add an extra small side of it for delivery. For our toddler we got the kids cheese pizza & she loved it. It has a really rich & cheesy flavor & is now one of her favorites. I also ordered the Oreo cheesecake which is my #1 fave! It has the perfect balance of chocolate, creaminess & Oreo flavor with the crust & topping. The only thing I wouldn't order again is the side salad. I'd probably go with fries next time instead. Overall, everything was fresh, flavorful & consistent. This is one of those places we keep coming back to because it always hits. read more

The worst Cheesecake Factory I have been too. The salad was smothered in dressing and the pizza was a little overcooked. Honestly though the service was thr worst. It took 1.5 hr for 2 ppl for lunch and we sat with empty water glasses over half the lunch. read more

This was my first time trying the weekend brunch at Cheesecake Factory and it was super good! The French toast was SO fluffy and there were some other really fun menu items that are only offered for brunch that were fun to splurge on. I like that this location is close to the disney parks and that there's an hour of free parking in the lot here, it makes trying to eat in the area around the parks really easy! The vibe inside is like most cheesecakes out there but for some reason it feels slightly narrower. But the decor and ambiance is the typical aesthetic and I always love looking through their giant menu, I'm actually really impressed the cooks can make so many versatile items and they're all good! I'm grateful Cheesecake Factory hasn't slimmed down its menu in the recent years because all the versatility is what I love about this restaurant so much. Oh, we were also able to make a reservation here which I looove. I always prefer reservations and just knowing what time you're guaranteed to eat at means a lot to me and my family. I believe this is how every Cheesecake Factory works which makes it a great spot to reserve for birthdays and big get togethers. Also, I'm not sure why or how but the Diet Coke at Cheesecake Factory is always SO good haha, makes it worth coming just for this reason! read more

Awesome welcoming friendly service. Placed an order for pick up. Easy ordering process and was ready promptly with order accuracy. Head to the cheesecake counter and let them know the name for the order. Utensils or napkins are provided upon request. All packaged neatly. Located on south end corner of garden walk right next to PF changs. Front Entrance is off Katella. Parking at the garden walk is a covered garage connected to the walkway leading to shops and eateries. Bring ticket with you to validate. Remember to pay at a pay station before you exit. read more

Two of our favorites from the Cheesecake Factory lunch menu, which by the way is served till 5pm. Far side is the Chinese Chicken salad, near side the Pasta Carbonara with chicken. The meals were big enough to fill us both. As always, complimentary basket of bread. Our server was attentive even though she was holding down several large parties. The interior of the restaurant was clean and decorated per Cheesecake Factory standards...lots of high end lighting and comfortable seating areas. read more

The Cheesecake Factory - Chinese Chicken Salad and Pasta Carbonara with Chicken Breast - Desserts Near Me - Anaheim, California

Unfortunately this location has become subpar. They understaffed their servers on a busy weekend and the service was lacking. Plates were dirty upon sitting down the table. The service took way too long to bring out water, bread, and take our orders. The server brought our appetizers and entrees at the same time, which defeats the purpose of ordering appetizers. I ordered the house-made lemonade, which was anything but special. It tasted like regular vending lemonade except with a sugar rim. The Coconut Margarita was watered down and way too overpriced. They don't even list the price on the menu until you pay. They literally forgot one of my party's entrees until we asked them about it. When they brought out the Costoletta, the dish was cold - obviously sitting around not being served. There was just a lack of service and food quality throughout the night. Lastly, sitting outside, you can smell the sewage from the street. read more

Let's face it, The Cheesecake Factory was the hippest, hottest, busiest restaurant chain in town about 30 years ago, and, despite losing a bunch of its cool factor in the ensuing years, it's remained a reliable place to get a decent meal up to today. That's why my wife and I decided to grab brunch at the Anaheim location before a movie. It was quiet at this time of day, so there was no wait; we were quickly seated and quickly tended to by Adrian, a friendly, chatty, very helpful server. As always, loaves of fresh baked sourdough and pumpernickel were served with a generous portion of butter, which kept our hunger at bay while we waited for our food. My wife ordered the breakfast combo: nicely scrambled eggs with smoky bacon and a pair of buttermilk pancakes. Those pancakes looked pretty standard issue but tasted far better than one would imagine. Fluffy, with a nice bit of vanilla, these cakes were further elevated by the warm "buttery maple syrup" served beside them. Maybe not quite the same as DuPar's, but actually pretty close, and pretty terrific. I opted for two small bites from their newest menu of "specials": Cajun Shrimp and Jambalaya Arancini, both of which packed more spice than I thought they would, which was a very pleasant surprise (no hot sauce needed). The shrimp were fresh and perfectly cooked, topped with a very savory Cajun BBQ Sauce built with a good deal of butter, white wine, spice and cream. Fantastic taste, and I used the sourdough loaf to extract every last bit of sauce from the cast iron skillet. The Arancini were truly built from Jambalaya, a crunchy shell bursting with rice, sausage, veggies and a spicy, savory sauce. Hearty and packed with flavor. Really, a terrific starter, easily shared by 2. So for the first time in a longtime, I really enjoyed my meal at Cheesecake Factory, and with the usual spick & span cleanliness and comfortable tables, I may start going more and more. read more

Please make sure what you charge to customers, it was different from your advertisement. I got charged for my birthday celebration free cheesecake (not really a cheesecake). If I have to pay, I would order real cheesecake. I should check the bill before I pay. read more

Went in for happy hour since we have gone several times after work and it was a little off. We were a party of 5 and asked if we needed to check in for the lower table seating which we have done all other times we've been! The hostess was reluctant to giving it to us as she said that whole section is reserved. We didn't think anything of it as we thought there was a large party that had it reserved. She said we can sit at the high tops which seat 4 and one could squeeze in. I think the look I gave her made her rethink her response as she made an exception for us and said she'd put our name down and would seat us once 80% of our party arrived. Once we had 4/5 people there she sat is. Moments later a party of 2 got seated next to us for happy hour. I thought this section was reserved for something. Anyways once we got our waitress and some food and drinks it went well from there. The only item we got that no one really enjoyed was the Thai chili shrimp. It had a chicken nugget flavor to it and it was just very basic. The fried pickle fries were awesome. Stuffed mushrooms always amazing. Truffle fries were perfect! I also ordered the Asian tenderloin bowl and it was amazing. The garlic noodles were tasty. I wish there was a bit more steak but it was delicious and the flavors blended well all together, even for the next day as I took the rest for work the next day. My co workers said it smelled amazing after microwaving it for lunch! Be sure and get your parking validated as well! read more

FIVE stars for our server MANNY! We came to Cheesecake Factory to celebrate a birthday, and Manny provided EXCELLENT service for my party of 8!

Our server Cynthia was amazing and was really patient with us. We were surprising our girl for her birthday, and was on a time crunch but she really delivered and checked on our orders promptly. A thousand stars for her! But parking here is kind of a headache, there's validated parking in the lot of the outdoor mall but I had to circle around a few times in order to find it. Also I ordered a Jambalaya hash from their brunch menu and it was drenched in oil. The sausages didn't taste right and the rice in it was complete mush. I couldn't finish it after taking a few bites and brought it home to my husband, who eats everything, and even he couldn't stomach it. I hate wasting food, but it was practically inedible and we ended up tossing the rest out. However the birthday girl did love her pasta and her birthday celebration cake! read more

Solid place to go to hang out and grab a bite with family, loved ones, and/ or new faces! There are SO many different food options for literally every person and age group--from kids to young adults to elderly and those like myself (vegan/vegetarian). That was a very pleasant surprise! There are also SO many delicious, unique desserts. You HAVE to try their cheesecake--it's kind of a rite of passage....Afterall, you are at THE Cheesecake Factory! We opted for the brownie sundae and wow it was perfect serving size for four people to share. If you're a fan of BJ's restaurant Pizookie, this reminds me of it. All the food was delicious! Huge portions. Yes, prices of food are the mid higher range, but here you get large portion sizes. All of the food came in a timely manner. Tip: highly recommend making reservations prior for no wait. You can get your parking validated here, which is greatly appreciated. Would definitely be coming back! Had a great experience overall :) read more

Went for dinner the other night. I've only been to the cheesecake factory one other time and that was probably about 15 years ago. When I got there, we received it fairly quickly. I ordered the Aji tuna salad, it was so good. The tune of the sea perfectly. I loved the vinaigrette. The salad had a hint of spiciness to it. Everything was fresh. I would totally order the salad again. The restaurant was crowded, but not congested. The waiter we had was super nice. There were 12 of us at the table. He was very patient and explained the menu and any item on the menu to anyone that asked. Our food came quickly and looking around the table. Everyone seemed to be enjoying their food. It was a good time. read more

Had a great night at The Cheesecake Factory! I haven't been here in a long time, but I was seriously craving their pasta, and it definitely hit the spot. We had a reservation for 7:30 on a Friday, and wow--it was packed. GardenWalk is already busy, and it felt like all of Anaheim showed up that night. We did wait about 45 minutes for our table, but we were a group of six, so it was understandable. Once seated, everything was worth it. I ordered the Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo, which was good, but I have to say... my friend's Chicken Parmesan completely stole the show. She let me try a bite, and it was SO flavorful and delicious--I was honestly a little jealous! Definitely ordering that next time. The rest of the table got a mix of dishes like the Taquitos, Ahi Nachos, and the Chipotle Chicken Bowl, and everything looked amazing. Portions are HUGE--we all had leftovers to take home. And of course, we couldn't leave without cheesecake. I got the Fresh Banana Cream Cheesecake, and WOW... hands down my new favorite. So creamy and flavorful--I'm already craving it again. Even with how busy it was, our server was amazing--super attentive, friendly, and made sure we were taken care of the whole time. Overall, such a fun dinner experience, and I'm already planning my next visit! read more

Special menu, it's a creative menu at attractive prices, but the execution relies heavily on pre-prepped components. The flavors are acceptable, but freshness and texture are inconsistent. The Asian Cucumber Salad was the best item, though even it showed signs of age. read more

Came here after a long day at Disneyland. It was a busy Monday night, but we were able to make reservations the day of. We had friendly service & enjoyed everything we ordered. There were many gluten free options. We enjoyed the Crispy Brussels sprouts, Bee sting flatbread pizza (Italian sausage, pepperoni, bacon, mozzarella, vodka sauce, Parmesan, honey), Farfalle with chicken & roasted garlic, Grilled rib-eye steak (medium rare with green beans and mashed potatoes) & Sweet corn tamale cake. The salad with apples & pecans was only ok, it had too much blue cheese & not enough lettuce. The food took a while to come out, but besides that, we had a wonderful experience. You get 3hrs of free parking at garden walk with validation. read more

Tons of menu pages to look through! Ordered the chicken club and hubby ordered the Louisiana chicken pasta. Eddy was our waiter. We ordered a slice of vanilla bean and tuxedo cheese cakes for dessert. Really liked hubby's vanilla bean cheesecake. He kept saying he didn't like the crust though. Tuxedo cheesecake was just ok. My chicken sandwich was just ok too. Hubby liked his pasta he said the chicken was really good. Service was good. Restaurant was very loud. read more

We have been to this location many times, but will not be back. I wish I didn't even have to do 1 star. On June 9th, my daughter dined in & had separate checks for their table. She was charged $19.34 for her meal. That was the bill presented and I had seen the charge on her card. On June 11th, we get an email about an "updated" charge of $22.34. I called Cheesecake Factory right away, the manager said he would get back to me. He does call a few minutes later and says he cannot find the card in the system and that he would not be able to do any refunds without a receipt. I asked him if we would be able to show him the charge and date on our banking transactions and he said a receipt was needed. He said he would proceed to call me back and NEVER did. It's now June 16th and it's not resolved, we cannot even dispute our charge through the bank. On the phone, he was very dismissive and seems annoyed asking, "So just $3?" Yes. Just $3! Of my money! I can right away tell he was not going to try and be helpful with the issue. I even offered to come in person to both figure it out and his response is, "Doesn't make a difference". He never explained to me what the updated charge could've been, just that they would not be able to do anything without a receipt. I had even thought about calling corporate but they're even known to be worse. Best advice is to throughly check your bill, ALWAYS ask for a receipt, and hope your server is decent. read more

Wanted to get away from Disneyland to eat. Using the Disneyland Tram, was dropped off nearby to walk across the street to the Cheesecake Factory. We had no reservations but waited at a minimum 20 minutes to get seated. Ordered adult beverages and entrees all at once. Received our bread first with butter. Tasty but will make you full before you receive your main entrees. Lol Received all of our entrees with 15 mins. All was delicous! No complaints jusy content and satisfaction. The only thing we noticed is that our assigned waitress would go missing for a significant amount of time. All good, no complaints on the food. Can have better service. Overall it was very convenient going back to Disneyland after our meal. :) read more

Stopped by The Cheesecake Factory in Anaheim as a walk in. It was a bit frustrating with waiting but it was all made up for once we got a table. Our server, Alejandra, was seriously so sweet and friendly from the start. She was super attentive and checked on us throughout our meal without being overbearing. She made sure our drinks were always full, everything came out right, and we had everything we needed. I also really appreciated how patient she was with my 6-year-old while she was deciding what to order. She never seemed rushed and was so kind, which honestly made a big difference. Food was yummy! We'll definitely be back, and I hope we get her again next time! read more

Really enjoyed my visit to the Cheesecake Factory across from Disneyland & GardenWalk. It was surprisingly not very crowded for a Sunday evening. I tried the shrimp scampi for the first time, it was delicious & surprisingly light. The angel hair pasta with the lemon garlic sauce was incredible easily one of the best pasta dishes I've had here. Definitely a standout meal & I'll be ordering it again :) read more

The restaurant is located at The Garden Walk. We placed a reservation because in Anaheim you never know the wait time. We were greeted by the hostess and seated right away.

Love that Cheesecake Factory lets you make reservations now which is so nice since they always have a wait! This location is close to Disney so lots of tourists! Cheesecakes have gone up to $12.50 now but on National Cheesecake Factory it's 1/2 off! What a great deal. You do have to dine in. My favorites are jambalaya and salmon plate! Delicious! Great happy hour as well! You can't beat it! Can't go wrong with their wide menu with lots of options. read more

After a long day at Disneyland, any parent can agree that a satisfying meal is a must. It had been 11 years since my last visit to the Cheesecake Factory, not due to any issues on their part, but simply because there isn't one nearby where I live. So when my husband and I spotted this location, we decided to give it a shot, especially after a disappointing meal elsewhere. We faced a 20-25 minute wait, and despite battling a migraine, I felt confident it would be worth it--and I was right. Our server, Donavan G, made a great impression right away. I appreciate a server who greets us warmly, knows the menu well, and offers solid recommendations. Since it had been so long since our last visit, we were a bit lost on what to order. Donavan suggested nachos and a buffalo stuffed chicken dish that my husband had seen on Instagram, despite his usual aversion to buffalo sauce. To our surprise, both dishes were hella Good. My oldest tried the omelette, and my 3 littles had pepperoni pizza and cheese pizza. Apparently the pizza was so good she almost fell asleep at the table lol. I was full from the appetizers so I just had some Brussels sprouts, and my husband had chicken with mash potato's and asparagus. Everything we tried was delicious, and the restaurant's dim lighting was perfect for my headache. Donavan even brought me hot water right away so I could take some Excedrin. It sounds like nothing but honestly you were a lifesaver for that. Overall, I had a fantastic experience and even returned the next day to pick up some cheesecake to go, opting for the classic red velvet and Oreo , both of which were great. read more

I'll be direct with this: I haven't been to Cheesecake Factory that often. Probably two or three times in my life, but this was a great experience! Our server, Edwin, was just really nice and good with everything. The restaurant was packed but the food was still amazing. My only complaint was the wait was a little while and the WiFi was pretty slow. But hey, as I said, it was packed! Thanks Cheesecake Factory! read more

This restaurant continues to be on of out favorites. After a fun day at Disneyland, my wife and I decided to celebrate our anniversary at this Cheesecake Factory. We have been here before and had great experiences in the past. Once again we had an outstanding server with Paulina. She was very friendly and helpful with great suggestions. I had the chicken enchiladas and she had the shrimp scampi. Both were very delicious and the portions were large. We were very fortunate to see the server that we had the last time we visited (Alicia). She came over to our table and visited with us for a while. The service and food are always excellent here. I feel that a lot of the credit goes to the manager who does the hiring and training. I highly recommend that if you are visiting Disneyland, you might want to consider walking or driving over to the GardenWalk and eating at this restaurant. This way you can experience what we have during the visits that we have had. read more
