My fiancé, daughter, and I went to The Cheesecake Factory in Annapolis on a Saturday night, and we had such a good experience. We already love The Cheesecake Factory, but this time we decided to try a few different things. For our appetizer, we ordered the spinach dip. I usually get the crab dip, so this was my first time trying it, and it did not disappoint. It was hot, cheesy, and went perfectly with the chips. For our entrées, my daughter ordered the plain fettuccine Alfredo, my fiancé got the steak tacos with white rice and black beans, and I ordered the Cajun salmon with mashed potatoes and buttered corn. When I say everything was delicious, I mean everything! The salmon was cooked perfectly. I normally ask for my salmon extra well done, but I forgot this time, and it still came out exactly how I like it. The mashed potatoes were seasoned well, the corn was buttery, and the Cajun sauce was so good that I ordered extra on the side. My daughter's fettuccine Alfredo had plenty of sauce, so we didn't even need to ask for more. It was also my first time tasting it, and the sauce tasted fresh and homemade. My fiancé's steak tacos were also really good. They came with a creamy chipotle sauce that was delicious, and the soft corn tortillas were surprisingly perfect. I usually prefer flour tortillas over corn, but these tacos didn't need flour at all lol. Overall, we enjoyed The Cheesecake Factory as always. The food was delicious, the portions were good, and we will definitely be back! read more

Let me preface this bg saying I worked food service when I was younger. Customer Service is paramount along with balancing orders and other responsibilities. I get it. It's a hard job. However our waiter, Alexis, fair skin gentleman w/ a beard, did not deliver. Came with a family of 5. We all got our food and immediately I didn't like mine. Cuban Sandwhich. Not waiters fault, he didn't cook it. However what happens after matters. He gave me a menu and I found a replacement. 10-15 minutes. No show. I looked around and nothing. He came back and I asked for the check. He took it and didn't even acknowledge the fact that I wasn't served. No apology. No effort. Just took our check. When he gave the check back it still had the sandwich. I had to approach him again to remove it and he just too the check and adjusted it. No apology. Nothing. Approached the manager, Jordan, explained the situation. Alexis came back (finally covered) and I responded that I didn't like his customer service. He looked at me - and walked away. In front of his supervisor. Like I was trash and the customer opinion was nothing. The supervisor Jordan saw first hand his rudeness. He apologized and asked if there was anything. I simply said talk to that guy. Because he could checked up on me. He could have acknowledged his error with the check. He could have apologized in front of his supervisor when I called him out on his customer service. Instead he showed his true colors. He looked and walked away. Jordan his supervisor even witnessed it. If you're not in it for the customers then why even show up? I simply didn't like the food after my first bite and I deserved to be ignored while family ate? Awful. Do better Alexis. It's not about you. Luckily Jordan apologized on behalf of the restaurant. Something Alexis could've simply could have done. read more

My family was celebrating my daddy's 96th Birthday and it was the WORST! I got there at 3pm to put our name on the waiting list. The Manager Brian/Bryan quoted 45 min to an hour. The rest of my family came at 4pm. We didn't get seated until 4:50pm and he had an attitude after we waited and we had to keep asking what was going on! After we finally got seated, the food was terrible and his kept his nasty attitude during our stay. The server tried to make this a good visit, but the Manager Brian/Bryan continued to make it horrible. If my daddy didn't like the Jambalaya so much, we would have left. Just know we will never be back to this location and all thanks to Manager Brian/Bryan‼ read more

I haven't been to cheesecake factory in like over 10 years and as soon as I walked down with a friend of mine, they said us right away it was like 9:36 PM and I didn't know what to order so the person I was with was like they were getting the jambalaya with noodles and I was like oh that's gross so then our waiter Mr. Trevor K introduced himself and asked me what I wanted to drink at the time and I said oh lemonade what kind do you have and he was like oh strawberry lemonade is the best which flavor I said I'm allergic to strawberries. He said oh my goodness I'm so sorry he said, but the second best lemonade is peach I said yeah I want that one. Cause I brought my own water. So he bought me some water with ice even though I have my own water and then he bought me a peach lemonade. Let me tell you that lemonade was so good. I forgot the star he came back after my order Trevor K said the jambalaya is great with rice. The person I was with he said the noodles I don't recommend that person got the same thing but with noodles, he said it's OK. The rice is good. That's the only way he eats it. Let me tell you something he bought his bread. I had like one piece but the jambalaya with rice is delicious. First of all the ambience was OK the noise the music was super loud so I couldn't really think but I guess I was hungry. We'll talk it up after that and I was trying to have a conversation and it wasn't working so I felt like when it was my turn to talk in the dialogue, I had to shout, but not at Mr. Trevor K. Well, anyway, Mr. Trevor K brought my jambalaya with everything shrimp chicken and Dooley sausage. With the pan drippings my God the pan drippings from the jambalaya and I put a little bit of salt on everything after I tasted it first just needed a tiny bit of salt just a couple of pinches and some pepper and then I poured the pan drippings all over the rice and then I left some from the person I was with with the pasta cause he was Mr. Trevor tried to explain to him the pasta noodles you don't get the full flavor of the jambalaya so I told him I sit here. These are a pan dripping and pour that on there it makes it better. So he loaded up his jambalaya with a whole bunch of salt like salted it out and I was like god that's salty so I put some pepper in there and then he poured the pan. The rest of the pan drip is on. Didn't ask me if I wanted some more anyway I ate and ate and then I took a piece of the white bread and I chopped up the juices of the pan drippings while I was eating on my plate of jambalaya. Let me tell you cheesecake factory you guys are awesome hadn't been. I will be back I Mr. Trevor K I'm apologizing for the person I was with cause he was really loud really rude and it was being just an a hole at times and then on top of that he had three coronas so it was weird. But yeah, I apologize for the short tip that the person I was with Gabe, but I Mr. Trevor K, you are fantastic at your job. Amazing wonderful love you so much thank you so much for the lemonade the peach lemonade with the sugar around the room cause I even peep that I was like whoa he did that. What does lemonade or whoever made it but thank you Mr. Trevor for recommending it. Thank you for being my waiter. I guess I could've asked him to turn down the music, but I didn't think of that until I was leaving. read more

I had been sleeping on The Cheesecake Factory! Went on Friday night. Got a table for six after about 25 minutes. Everybody was courteous and seemed like they were enjoying their jobs. Our waitress was fantastic but I don't remember her name! (TCF: it was table #43 at 7:00 pm on 5/15/2026) she was friendly, full of energy and, although clearly busy, didn't miss a beat. I went with the Tuscan chicken off of the skinnylicious menu. It was a delicious dish with a lot of food and a nice balance of veggies and chicken. After all the bread I ate, I left more than satisfied. read more

I frequent this location after mall or grocery shopping. Never disappoints. Bar service with Mike the bartender is always a pleasure.

I redeemed my free bday slice. Trying the peach cheesecake for first time read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

Service crawled at the speed of light. 1hr to get bread. Waiter was discombobulated with a ton of excuses for lackluster and slow service. Took 30+ minutes for server to greet us, 30+ minutes to get a water and Diet Coke. Very irritated this happened on my girls day out while I was starving having saving my calories all day for this! Mac and cheese appetizer didn't disappoint. Cheesecake decadent. Louisiana pasta was huge but also dry...even with extra sauce...won't get that again. Totally dissatisfied with this location. Ruined my dinner out catching up with friends. read more

Who said they are too good for Cheesecake Factory?!!!??? LMBO! Not me! Ventured over to pick up lunch today. Cheesecake Factory use to be on rotation when my husband and I, first started dating. Every Sunday we would venture to the bar! Hahaaa!! Anyhoo this afternoon I ordered the Beets and Avocado salad which was really good! Beets, avocado, orange slices, arugula, quinoa with a yogurt dressing. Delicious! I will definitely be back for this! I should've ordered 2 of these!! I also ordered the stuffed Parmesan Mushrooms and an impossible burger with sweet potato fries. I couldn't come all the way to Cheesecake Factory, and NOT get a dessert! So I opted for the viral Pineapple Upside down cheesecake that I'll enjoy later when I get home. With the ability to ordering online and my order be ready when I arrive, I'm sure we'll be making our way back.... Happy Yelping! read more

The Cheesecake Factory is definitely an experience--starting with the menu, which feels more like a book than a list of options. For me, it's a bit overwhelming, so I usually just stick to the lettuce wraps on the first page. They're good, but honestly, the rest of the menu is just too much to navigate. Of course, the cheesecake is a classic, but the true star for me is the lemoncello cake. It's the only reason I go out of my way to visit. Pair it with a lemon drop martini, and it's absolute perfection! As a chain, it's consistent, so you know what you're getting no matter where you go, which some people love. Personally, I'm not big on chain restaurants, and I can't speak too much about the food because I usually only stop in for dessert--usually when invited or for a special occasion. Overall, it's a solid spot with good food and desserts, but it's not somewhere I'd go out of my way for unless I'm craving that lemoncello cake. read more

We visited the Annapolis Cheesecake Factory for mothers day and let me tell you they did not disappoint! Everything we ordered was delicious and the service was even better. We had German as our waiter and what a pleasant experience. He was so friendly and funny we absolutely loved him! We will be returning soon and the cheesecake yummmmmm read more

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. read more

I appreciated the intimate setting, it made it easy to focus on my family without getting distracted. read more

I took my mom here as it is her favorite restaurant. We were heading to a show in Baltimore from DC and even though we had a reservation for later in the day, they for us in early which was appreciated. We had good service and the food was tasty, per usual. My mom's chicken in her chipotle pasta was a little overcooked but still a good flavor and my burger was cooked perfectly. Nice portions and my mom really enjoyed her pina colada. read more

I want to thank Ms. Alana for helping me to choose the SCRUMPTIOUS Pineapple Cheesecake.

I would purchase the Pineapple Cheesecake again. Thank you Ms. Alana. read more

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;) read more

Recently ordered pickup here and the order went left. I know it was late 9:50 or so when I placed the order yet, customers should still receive quality service. I did not receive the correct order on this visit. Unfortunately after a long work day I ordered and wanted the steak diane. Instead I received - an avocado eggroll order ( I believe). I saw my name on the bag and the employee did ask to confirm. The wrong order was placed in the bag. I was so focused on getting home to eat when I saw the food I thought - this is why you have to always check for yourself. I had my mind set on my order , maybe next time.... lesson learned I should just go inside to pick up my order if I order pickup again. read more

We had dinner at the Annapolis location around 6 pm last night. We ordered 4 cheese pasta, steak Diane, and Filet mignon steak and two salads, so the total i think was around 170. That was the worst experience we have ever had. The salads came out 1 min before dinner, and the filet mignon was chewy and no flavor at all. We told the waiter he said good feedback. He seemed to be very concerned with a high top table next to us because he was catering to them. We had terrible service and meals. We ate thier sunday nov 16 2025. read more

Everything would have been great except for the music was so so so loud. It was a lunchtime meal and there is no reason to be blasting music, especially terrible music. Nobody is going out to lunch to hear very loud terrible music. They want to enjoy a meal. I am super sensitive and my partner Has hearing aids. I asked the waitress if the person in charge could turn it down and I think they may have turned it down one notch, and that was it. Music at a restaurant is supposed to be to provide quiet ambience in the background and not impact a patrons enjoyment of a facility. read more

I do not understand why this is considered a good restaurant. It felt tacky. The menu was a jack of all trades, master of none bunch of calorie dense garbage. I would never go again, but I went out of curiosity. They do get a second star because the staff was super nice, the place was clean, and the service was excellent. The food was utter blahhh. read more

I stopped in the cheesecake factory to get a quick bite to eat after leaving the mall. I sat at the bar because I didn't want to wait for a table on a Saturday evening. The bartenders were very attentive and friendly. They greeted me promptly, put my order in and checked on me throughout my meal. I ordered a little Caesar salad, which was actually pretty big,and taquitos. The Caesar salad, was delicious, so very fresh and flavorful. I've never ordered a salad from the cheesecake factory before but now that would be my go to. The taquitos were just OK, I don't think I would order them again. They were flavorful and had a little kick to them, which I'm not a fan of, but most people Would enjoy the spiciness. I wasn't really crazy about the texture inside, it was too mushy for me. For dessert. i had white chocolate truffle and raspberry cheesecake, that was just OK as well. I should've ordered what I normally get which is the red velvet cheesecake. Overall, I enjoyed my visit and I'm looking forward to another Caesar salad. read more

I called ahead to check out the wait. It wasn't bad-15minutes. So we head out from our house and head there on a Sunday afternoon. We found parking. Just as the hostess told me, the wait was still about 15minutes. We put our name on the list and waited. We noticed a few empty table tops near the bar area and we decided to sit there and remove our name from the list. Food was good. Staff was great. Tables around us were being cleaned off really fast so folks could be seated in a timely manner. Ordered cheesecake to go and it was tasty later that night. read more

I asked about the shrimp & crab cakes. We decided on other dishes. The food & drink prices are reasonable w/ nice portions. Service was timely & the restaurant is spacious w/ plenty of bar tables & booths. I can't give 5 stars bc there was a hair in our egg rolls. Our server had the manager come to our table promptly, he apologized & took them off the bill. So they may need to work on cleanliness. Otherwise, a good experience. read more

We stopped by to grab dessert. I walked in and stood at the carry out counter. There were two ladies working vigorously preparing cheesecake and cake orders. I figured they would eventually take a break to take my order. Well, they didn't. Then I asked if someone could take my order, basically I was told they couldn't take my order. I don't believe they spoke English. By this time there were like 3 other people in line behind me. Eventually an embarrassed looking employee made it to the register to take orders. I've never had such poor service at ANY Cheesecake Factory I've patronized over several years. I get that the persons behind the counter couldn't take my order, but geez, could you go get someone who could? My rating is only for the service. I ordered 2 slices of cheesecake to go. It took way too long to interact with an employee to take my order. read more

In honor of my ROTD - Let's have cake!!! Cheesecake!!!!

They make eating out healthy IF you can resist the glass case....I can not! I had the ultimate red velvet cake cheesecake to go. It was ultimate!
