    Zucchini
    Alexis T.

    A common staple for American franchise restaurants. All of the salmon dishes are recommended with miso and grilled leading the pack. I added a picture of the fried zucchini as it's a new format. The strips are longer and thicker with a tasty batter.

    Peruvian Chicken Bowl
    Donica T.

    I promise whenever I go here this place never disappoints. You can go 1000 times and never fully try everything on the menu because it is such a vast array of options and no matter what I try they all are delicious. Tonight I had something very new, which is the Peruvian chicken bowl and it was delicious with black beans, white rice, salsa, Peruvian chicken plantains, and a special sauce. For my beverage. I had a coconut limeade, which was very refreshing and the way it was presented was exquisite and for dessert I tried the seasonal seasonal pumpkin pecan cheesecake which melted in my mouth. My server was very attentive and kept the hot bread coming, and she provide options for my dinner guest because he was unsure of what he wanted. I always love how the low lighting sets the ambiance in the cheesecake factory. It was definitely a 10 out of 10 experience.

    Great experience! Walked in in a Friday night and had a very short wait. We were told 15 minutes and we may have waited 5 before we were called to be seated. The place was packed so the wait was understandable. Parking wasn't bad at all especially considering the mall wasn't closed just yet. I expected the food to take a while but everything came right on time and was hot and fresh. I love the brown bread here it's one of my favorite things outside of the cucumber mint lemonade. I ventured out of my comfort zone just a little and ordered a new entree, Cajun salmon, which proved to be delicious. The salmon was cooked to perfection and the sauce was delicious. The ambiance is very fun but mature, perfect for date nights. We ordered a cocktail which also caught me by surprise because it was perfectly strong. Cadillac margaritas was a great choice for a Friday night. Would I return? YES Would I recommend you visit? Of course.

    Lemon Raspberry Cream Cheesecake
    Starvel D.

    I've been on a bit of a meatloaf kick lately. My friend said the Cheesecake Factory had some and it was pretty good. Since I wasn't that hungry I ordered the lunch portion. I think the only difference between that and the dinner portion is the number of meatloaf slices. The lunch portion was more than enough and my friend was right. The meatloaf is pretty good. The slices are nice and thick, flavorful, and it comes with mushroom gravy. I asked for it on the side for the mashed potatoes, but they accidentally put it on them. The mashed potatoes really didn't need any gravy in my opinion. I've had the mashed potato several times and they're always tasty; I prefer them au naturel. I like the green beans because they don't overcook them and they still have a slight crisp to them. For dessert, I wanted something I've never had before; I tried the lemon raspberry cream cheesecake. It's raspberry vanilla cake, lemon cheesecake, raspberry lady fingers, & lemon mousse. I know it sounds like a lot, but all of that together makes a really good dessert. There's a few different textures, a little tart & creamy from the lemon, and a little sweet from the raspberry. I don't know why but raspberry and lemon always taste good together. I'm definitely adding this cheesecake into the rotation. If you've never tried it, you should. You won't regret

    We love the variety of the menu, it's a guarantee that everyone will find something that they like. Our sever was attentive. It was slightly busy but I was able to make a reservation ahead of time so we did not have to wait. We sat in a large booth. The lighting was dim but not too low. I appreciated the intimate setting, it made it easy to focus on my family without getting distracted.

    Thai Chicken Salad | Chicken Satay with Citrus Honey Peanut Vinaigrette on the side.
    Kris P.

    I mean it's Cheesecake Factory. Be prepared for the change of shift here, especially from lunch to dinner, Saturdays are madness. It's a carnival and quite a disaster at the host. Ample of patience and at least 2.5 hours from start to finish. My most recent ordeal here was underwhelming. Once you're seated, service will really depend on your server. This visit I chose the Thai chicken salad except switch the dressing to the citrus honey peanut vinaigrette, it just pairs better with the chicken satay. I appreciate the dinner size. This is my go-to here if not the steak diane and bistro shrimp. Sometimes, a good salad and a steady pour of wine are all a gal desires.

    Hazel was the sweetest! She recommended the Korean BBQ chicken dish for me, that I absolutely loved. And the portions were huge, I had more than enough for additional sittings. As always, The Cheesecake Factory did not disappoint!

    9-6-25 I was in the area!! We ate Lunch at Maggs but too full to get desserts. I'm like let's get cheesecake to go!! ... I go in and I swear the CF bakery know what they're doing because they have the display case full of all flavors of beautifully presented cheesecake slices!!.. it's hard to pick every time simply forgetting that they're cut smaller now super price hike 3x much... GONE are the $5 big slices they used to serve.. the service was cool & funny because I asked Matthew I think his name was Reese or the snickers like one He said Reese is his fave!. I'm like mine too but I gotta try something new lol decisions decisions we laughed.. I got moms the Lemon Raspberry she wasn't expecting two slices she said if they didn't have get this one... so she got Lemon Raspberry and I got her the Oreo extreme dream or something! I got the snickers like one and the Oreo to try myself. sooo tempted to get the Reese too but Clarendon isn't far at all!!. The ambiance was busy!! ...Cheesecake slices have gotten higher than when I went last !! It's now 10.50-$12.00 a slice so you'll be spending close to 50.00$ for 4 Slices!! But My slices are going in the freezer for a rainy day! Because I wasn't coming back for a whiiileee... I always hit the factory for cheesecakes!! Like nobody can ever compare;)

I started with the steak wedge salad, which was really tasty--the bacon had a slightly sweet flavor that stood out and complemented the dish nicely. For my entrée, I went with the tomahawk pork chop and a loaded baked potato. The pork chop was cooked well and had great flavor overall, though it leaned just slightly on the salty side. Still very enjoyable, especially paired with the potato. Where things really took off was dessert. Our table ordered a few to share--the brownie, chocolate cake, and crème brûlée cheesecake. The brownie was easily my favorite: rich, soft, and topped with caramel sauce alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Definitely the standout of the night. Service from Eli was good--friendly and helpful. I would have appreciated a bit more check-ins throughout the meal, but nothing that took away from the experience. Overall, a solid visit with great flavors and a few standout dishes. I'd definitely come back, especially for that brownie.

During a visit about a over a month ago, I observed an interaction between a manager and an employee that felt uncomfortable to witness. From a customer perspective, the tone came across as harsh and seemed more appropriate for a private conversation rather than one happening in front of staff and guests. On a more recent visit, I became concerned after overhearing multiple staff members discussing cleanliness-related issues while I was dining. As a customer, hearing those types of conversations during a meal was unsettling and raised concerns for me about overall food safety and sanitation. I want to be clear that I am only sharing what I personally experienced and overheard during my visits. However, as someone with severe allergies, trust in food handling and cleanliness is extremely important to me, and these experiences made me uncomfortable. Because of this, I felt it was appropriate to bring these concerns to the attention of the appropriate authorities so they can be properly reviewed. I hope management takes the opportunity to evaluate both customer experience and internal practices moving forward, as both staff and guests deserve a safe and respectful environment.

For a restaurant with a full bar, it was surprising they had no mezcal and were supposedly out of top-shelf bourbon, yet still served me a drink that tasted overly sweet and nothing like the premium bourbon I ordered. Another letdown was the lack of bread service. Other J. Alexander's locations usually serve croissants, so having none available took away from the experience. The food didn't make up for it either. The steak lacked flavor and felt low quality for the price. The "fried chicken platter" was basically oversized chicken tenders marketed as an entrée, and the mac and cheese was watery and bland instead of rich and creamy. Overall, the experience felt inconsistent and poorly executed. Between the missing staples, questionable bar service, and underwhelming food, this location did not feel worth the cost.

That restlessness works in its favor. The space is compact, almost disarming at first. Then it settles around you.
