Haven't been to cheesecake factory in yearsssss. Presently surprised with this visit although there were a few downfalls. Alex our server was great, very quick,knowledgeable and personable. started with a round of waters, and some apps- Fried mac balls we're good, served over a marinara sauce . Avacado egg rolls were a nice twist- the sauce it served with sent the whole dish over the top. The shrimp and bread app was a miss- bread served soggy . Calamari had a perfect breading and cook to it but the tarter sauce was basically just mayo. Grilled fish tacos were amazing, tortillas seemed to be half flour half corn, cooked perfectly - however the rice was as plain as could be. One person's meal didn't come out until everyone else was done eating- management comped the meal with out asking. overall we enjoyed our time and will be back sooner then later. read more

The Cheesecake Factory has been around forever and it still delivers. Honestly the value is what gets me. Most places you're dropping at least $200 for a family meal. Here it's $85 and you still walk out with a ton of leftovers. You can't beat that. And the menu is longer than a textbook. You could eat here for years and not get through it. We've worked through a good chunk and it's always good. The salads, the fish, the orange chicken (really good). My wife always orders off the Skinnylicious menu, gets the cucumber martini, never has a complaint. The kids love it. We finished with the Reese's cheesecake. Rich, but so good. Wait's reasonable too, ten or fifteen minutes as long as you don't roll in on Mother's Day. Great food, great value, you leave with a bag of leftovers for tomorrow. Always a good time. read more

Been coming here since i was a teen. I'm in my thirties now. So Cheesecake Factory is def tradition in a sense, lol. Never had an issue. The food is always delicious. The service is always nice and friendly. Solid options for vegetarians too! And we get emails for free cheesecake slices that we use often :) Word of advice - the wait times get long on weekend evenings. And there's not enough seating while you wait, so you'll be standing for 20-30+ min in a crowd of people. Weekdays are usually better! read more

This is the best Cheesecake Factory you will ever have the pleasure to visit. Cool Architecture /Ambiance as it was once a Movie Theatre. Consistently Excellent Service and Chef Prepared Food Items by the exact same amazing employees that have worked here for 10 + years. read more

The waitress Chloe was very helpful . We ordered a Teriyaki katsu which I did not care for. The mayo was too spicy. Then I went ahead and got a delicious kids pasta and butter. I liked the house salad . Soda is expensive. read more

It's my second time visiting the Cheesecake Factory and it was a good experience! Came here for lunch and got the chicken Alfredo. This was delicious! Finished it all. Also got my choice of a cheesecake slice (mango key lime) since they are offering a free slice with the app this month. I like mango and key lime so I decided to try it but when they brought it out I was super surprised with how HUGE it was. Now I know why it's 1300 calories....it comes with a bunch of whipped cream and the bottom of the crust has coconut flakes. It's good for the first few bites but it's really sweet. Server was friendly and was able to explain how to redeem my cheesecake. Although there were a bunch of people at the restaurant, it didn't seem crowded because they have tall ceilings. I like the architecture and was able to get some work done on my computer too. read more

Valetine's Day 2026 was bitter sweet! Sweet...lovely day of surprises to and from my hubby...flowers, heart shaped donuts, Valentine's cards and dinner at the Cheesecake factory. Bitter...one my hubby's close colleagues unexpectedly passed away on Friday. While at dinner, a close friend of mine texted me to call her. I told her I was at dinner, was it an emergency? She said she had some sad news. My heart immediately sank. For her to reach out to me on Valentine's Day, it had to be serious. When I called her she told me that a close friend of ours was killed by her boyfriend and her boyfriend then killed himself. I was absolutely shook! You never expect something like this to happen to someone you actually know. We immediately prayed for their families. Needless to say, that put a damper on dinner. It caused me to contemplate life and its fragility. The restaurant...we arrived at Cheesecake Factory at 6:10 hoping that getting there early we could get in straightaway. This was not an original idea as when we arrived there was a 50-minute wait. Cheesecake Factory does not take reservations. Fortunately, for us it was not as long as the folks that came after us as they had a wait of one and half hours. They took my cell phone number and said they would text us when our table was ready. In the meantime, we went next door to GameStop and Barnes & Noble bookstore to poke around until we received the magic ping from their text. Our table was ready. We were seated in a two-person booth in a cozy corner of the restaurant. We are lifting the families in prayer My hubby ordered Cajun salmon with mashed potatoes and corn. I ordered herb crusted salmon with mashed potatoes and asparagus. We both had large pieces of salmon and generous portions of vegetables. The mashed potatoes had the potatoes skins included but were light, buttery and hearty. The salmon was thick, flavorful and served hot. We were pleased our meals. Last night, the food was exceptional. How can you come to Cheesecake Factory and not get cheesecake? We shared the Turtle cheesecake. We only had a couple of bites as were very full. Overall, the food was excellent. A bitter sweet evening indeed... read more

Arrived seventeen minutes before happy hour ended and the hostess rolled her eyes and claimed there was nothing available, even though we were well within the time window. We ended up ordering with eight minutes to spare, so it was never actually an issue, just unnecessary attitude before we'd even sat down. Once we were seated, service was fine and the rest of the meal went smoothly. It's a shame the visit started with a hostess who seemed more interested in making us feel unwelcome than just doing her job read more

We waited for a host to seat us and they were not busy at all. Disappointing visit. It took a very long time for our orders to come out, especially over a lunch hour on a work day. My chicken parm sandwich came out with charred ends and it was maybe 5-10 minutes before our waiter checked on us again for me to bring this to their attention. They took that back, after about a 15 minute wait I got my new sandwich which was perfect. But! Lunch time is over and I had to take it to go. No comp, no nothing. Not even a check on me with the new sandwich. Very sad tat this particular restaurant doesn't seem to take the time for it's customers nor does it seem to invest in customer service as a priority. We paid our bill and left. Only to return for cheese cake to go. Never for a sit down meal again. read more

I needed a little something between jobs. I had just enough time to eat in my car and get to my other job. I love their avocado rolls, I get them pretty much every time I come here. I think I inhaled them, but from what I remember, they were warm, creamy, and a little light crispy. I did have a few left over, so I was able to finish them off with my breakfast the next day. Great service as always. To go counter was quick and easy. read more

It's been over 10 years since we've been back to Cheesecake Factory. The atmosphere has not changed and the portions are just huge alike I remember. We came during happy hour and had a chance to try a few items from their happy hour menu. Their main menu is quite extensive and a good selection of kids menu as well. It took us at least 5-10 mins to browse through all their menus. We really liked the avocado eggrolls (5/5) and the fried calamari (5/5). The Roadside sliders (3.5/5) were tasty but a bit too oily for our taste buds. Happy hour menu offers a good selection of cocktails. We had the Whiskey Smash (3/5) which was on the sweet side. Alcohol used was also bad. I would skip this. We wrapped up dinner with the lemon meringue cheesecake. I enjoyed the tartness but overall a very sweet dessert. Overall it was a very satisfying meal which was elevated by the wonderful service from our waiter. We're glad to give Cheesecake another try and probably will come back to try a few other items on their regular menu. read more

Back for more! The skinnilicious menu is my favorite, hands down. I had the grilled salmon and ventured out and had a cheesecake with some cappuccino. Everything is always so good here. My son got the Korean chicken which was super delicious! Such a nice weekend wrapping thing up at the cheesecake factory. Be back for more again soon. read more

It's been forever since I last went to the Cheesecake Factory and this visit did not disappoint. Portions are still large, as is the menu. I appreciated the new light menu options because I didn't want to take meal leftovers back to my hotel - only cheesecake to go for me please! I tried the lemon meringue cheesecake for the first time and it was delicious, except for the meringue. I think it would do better with a simple Swiss style meringue on top to reduce the gummy-like texture. read more

We were greeted by the host and told to wait ~15 minutes for a party of 7 on a weekday night. It took a while for our server to bring us the bread even after being asked. She seemed uninterested in taking orders and borderline rude when asked questions, which ruined the dining experience. The food was decent, as usual. We ordered tamale corn cakes, chicken shawarma wraps, vegetarian tacos, tomato basil flatbread pizza, all of which were tasty, no complaints there. Finished off with a cheesecake slice of course. Tried the godiva slice this time, it was too chocolatey and slightly bitter for my taste so I'll stick with my favorite mango flavor for next time. read more

Came here to celebrate a birthday for one of my children. We made reservations about a month in advance and they did not disappoint. We absolutely love their fried Mac and cheese balls with the marinara sauce. It's a family favorite. We ordered two of those. So satisfying and full of flavor. I ordered their Grilled Salmon from the SkinnyLicious menu. It was quite satisfying and met my expectations. I shared my carrots with my spouse, since it was more than I was wanting. It's a big restaurant, but the way the seats are set up with the tall glass, you get a sense of privacy and that was perfect. Our serve was excellent and pleasant. Nice treat once in while. read more

Went for my son's 21st birthday dinner per his request. The menu has lots of options from many different cultures so there's something for just about every appetite. The vibe is always cool and casual. Service is good. There were several parties celebrating birthdays so the server was busy. He did pretty well keeping our glasses full and checking in. I had the pizza style chicken Parmesan which was surprisingly good. We shared the Mac & cheese bites. Ordered the celebration cheesecake to go. The server added a nice touch by bringing out an hot fudge sundae served in a little cute glass with a candle. Although there are a lot of choices on the menu deciding what to get is a bit of a challenge. read more

My daughter and I stopped in here last week on a day we were running errands for back to school. They still have the big menu but it's a bit easier to navigate with the categories. I got their beet salad and she got their sliders. Their bread is always so good and irresistible and even though I'm attempting to beon a low carb diet, I had to have some! We were able to get seated quickly in the bar area and parking was easy in the Arboretum. The service did take a bit longer as it looked like our waitress was also the bartender. The longest wait was to get my credit card back after payment so other than that everything was good. read more

Me and my boyfriend came here for dinner the other night and had such a nice experience! I hadn't been to a Cheesecake Factory in years and I was super happy with the food we ordered as well as the service. We ended up sitting at the bar since it was so busy but our bartender was a great server. I ordered the Louisiana chicken pasta and oh my gosh it was massive. I ended up getting three meals out of this one serving. I substituted the bow tie pasta for fettuccine and thought it was super good but I think it absorbed most of the sauce so my dish really wasn't that saucey. My boyfriend got the bang bang chicken and shrimp and the bite I had was very good! We also got a slice of the lemon raspberry cheesecake which was delicious. Overall I had zero complaints and we agreed that we will be coming back soon :) read more

Although not often, I really enjoy my time when I get a chance to dine at the Cheesecake Factory. The sizable portion of the meals, great yummy cocktails and the fact they even have some great vegan options. Oh must we not forget the delicious cheesecake! I was seated the moment I walked inside by the attentive host , it was pretty hot outside that day so I was sweating quite a bit but as soon as the waiter noticed she served me a big tall cold glass of water with some soft warm bread and butter to snack on. The service here was on point that day. I ordered the Cajun salmon with buttered corn and mash potatoes. For the drink of course I get my signature Long Island iced tea! The bartender must of made my drink with love because it was perfect and strong. The salmon although delicious I did not get that Cajun taste to it. A little dry then I'd want but again it was still well cooked and tasted great. The sides, corn and mash potatoes all 10/10. I think this is great place to maybe come by after work or even the wknds to relax and enjoy some delicious food. They have so many options. It was also connected to many shopping businesses which is nice. Overall you can't go wrong at the Cheesecake Factory. I enjoy my experience every time I'm here read more

Came here to celebrate Father's Day with the family. Despite it being a pretty busy day, our party was seated pretty quickly. Despite being stretched a bit thin with multiple large tables, our server was attentive and quick with all of our needs. For appetizers we had the hot wings and dumplings. Both were good, the hot wings were a bit small but packed with flavor. For my entree I had the cajun salmon with mashed potatoes and corn, everything was cooked to perfection. The portion size was great and left me full and happy. Everyone in the group enjoyed their meals, and several from our party ordered cheesecakes to go. Everyone left with full belly's and happy hearts, this was the perfect vibe for our Father's Day celebration. read more

I am not sure what I expected but this place is always terribly the same..mid food, mid service. Just eh for the price. I should know better by now not to go. I told them well done on my burger and it was barely cooked. They went back and "cooked" my same burger and still pink. They should have at least taken it off the bill. Just not exciting but we did get seated quickly. The server herself was great! This place just sucks like every other location I have been to. read more

Not very vegan friendly so you don't have too many options and you have to take the salad apart because of the dietary restrictions and you cannot have any dessert and I think that's speaks volumes for its own the name. Nice decorations and nice staff. read more

Solid dinner from Cheesecake Factory for our parents night out dinner in the arboretum. It's been a little since we've formally dined in this space, and it's still as bustling as a decade ago when we stopped by. The menu is an encyclopedia of entrees, drinks and desserts to cater to any craving which is spectacular. Furthermore dining with our server Franklin today, he was very attentive even if the bar staff was running behind with our drinks and the kitchen backed up with finally getting out entrees to us, our go to is always the avocado egg rolls, and both my husband and I decided on pasta dishes tonight, both as grand as we know CF's portions to be so we took plenty home! I'm also very excited that we got to try the Peppermint Bark cheesecake for the holidays, beautiful and tasty! We love the space and the selection, and find this is a safe pick when we're in the neighborhood! read more

I had never set foot The Cheesecake Factory before, but my friend is a regular and she lured me in with a gift card. I knew the basics, that it's a nationwide chain that has an incredibly large menu and has a reputation as a somewhat pricey, over the top, and, to coin a phrase... cheesy... atmosphere. But I was still unprepared. What is up with the Islamic or is it Russian orthodox architecture?? When we got inside, I stared. I gaped, open-mouthed. It felt like I had wandered into some Las Vegas extravaganza or Disneyland or something. And I know I am mixing my architectural metaphors, but it felt like some over the top Tuscan Villa, or maybe an acid trip reconstruction of a Greek temple. The menu was in fact many, many pages, but at least it wasn't physically huge. And since we were there for weekend brunch, I was able to focus only on two pages. It didn't take me long to figure out what I wanted. I love Eggs Benedict and I love Chicken and Waffles, but only at The Cheesecake Factory, as far as I know, are they brave or insane enough to combine both into one dish, the Fried Chicken and Waffles Benedict. To break it down into bite-size pieces, the waffle itself was very good. The fried chicken strips or tenders were perfectly acceptable. The poached egg was perfect. The hollandaise sauce was not really hollandaise sauce. It was pretty bland. I couldn't taste a bit of lemon and it didn't have that perfect hollandaise sauce texture. I must also admit that by the time they brought me my plate, I wasn't terribly hungry because of the wonderful bread they'd put on the table when we arrived. So I deconstructed my entrée. I pushed half of it aside, then ate the waffle, which was good, especially with the maple whatever sauce they provided, then ate the chicken strips, which could've been a little hotter. The poached egg, as I said, was perfect, but I did have to sprinkle some salt on to even be able to taste the purported hollandaise sauce. So half of my entrée came home with me and was a perfect light dinner. My friend ordered her usual Monte Cristo sandwich which looked, and she said was, wonderful. Our server was friendly and efficient and guided us through the overly complicated process of validating her gift card, which we had to do online. Overall, my preference is for smaller, simpler, and more local restaurants, but I had a wonderful meal and a slightly surreal experience. And given the portion size, there was no way in hell I had room to even taste any of that cheesecake. I wish they would offer tiny little bite-size treats. . read more

I know why this place is sooooo busy all the time. Cheesecakes are still good. One day, I will try every food on the menu.

just went here for my birthday the food is great and the atmosphere is awesome Cheesecake Factory is one of my favorite restaurants and I frequently come here for birthdays, but my waitress who is younger than me called me old and it ruined the vibe didn't know what to think of it so i kinda just awkwardly laughed it off but the more I thought about it the more it bothers me, I've been a waiter and that's definitely rude and unprofessional even if you're saying it in a "joking" manner especially if you know the person is older than you, that's more of something you would say to your friend and even then I avoid saying it if they're older, so you definitely shouldn't be saying that to a customer you don't know who's trying to just enjoy their birthday read more

This restaurant has always been one of my favorites since I was younger. I decided to go with this place for my birthday this year. They were so nice at this location and were quick to accommodate my party of 13 people. We literally waited about 2 minutes and the tables were ready. They were very attentive to us and making sure everything came out perfect. The inside of the place is so nice and not loud. We were able to converse and enjoy our evening there. The portions of the plate are very large so its good for sharing or having left overs for the next day. I got the herb crusted Parmesan chicken. One of my favorite items to order there. My friend got the skinlicious lemon chicken which looked amazing too. Honestly everything looked amazing. You cant go wrong with any plate there. We ended with the celebration cheesecake for my birthday and WOW! read more

Came to Cheese Cake Factory for a quick lunch with coworkers. I was excited when someone suggested it because I have been looking forward to trying the mac n cheese balls I see on Tiktok. Our waiter was nice and quick to get us everything we needed. The mac n cheese balls, everyone rated them 8.5+ Very good. That sauce definitely makes it so great. For main courses, we all ate off the skinnylicious menu which was just enough to not make us sluggish for our next meeting. Will be back for the mac balls. read more

The food was not good. Chicken was over cooked, salad was "swimming " in dressing, biscuits were hard on top and soaked in gravy on the bottom. Couldn't pick them up and couldn't cut them with a fork. The waiter response was "sorry about that ". The manager also didn't seem to care. I paid the bill and left. I'll never return read more

Dined in with the kiddos here and although it was pretty busy, the wait wasn't long. The staff was very attentive and answered all of my questions and very patient with the kids. It was constant buzz so there wasn't a space for awkward silence. I ordered the Korean bbq chicken bowl, raspberry lemon drop, and the kids had mini corn dogs and fries. The drink was very tasty, and would absolutely order it again. Perfect a brunch or evening meal. The Korean BBQ chicken was pretty good. It tasted better once I added extra sauce. It was a large serving so I had everything to take home. I would not recommend the corn dogs. I was wondering if the kids were being dramatic, but I did try one and I just can't put my finger on what it was. The fries were pretty good. Overall, it was a good experience. Would return again. read more

Today I visited The Cheesecake Factory in Austin and had a disappointing experience. I ordered the chicken tenders, which were decent at first, but things took a turn when I was finishing my meal. As I was putting my food into a to-go box, I noticed a hair sitting at the bottom of the plate. It was honestly really off-putting and made me question the cleanliness of the kitchen. Finding something like that completely ruined my appetite and overall experience. While the service and atmosphere were amazing , this kind of issue is hard to overlook. I hope they improve their food handling and cleanliness because situations like this shouldn't happen. But Lisa the manager gave me a free cheesecake. read more

I won't completely bash on this place to hard. As you know it is still cheesecake factory. This was our first time going to this location. And everything was good, except for my mail, which I got the spicy cashew chicken came out a little burnt. Our waiter was completely an audible, and he spoke to us. I think something was off on him. My wife stated that the food she got was really good. Though and also the cheesecake was really good, which it should be as it is.The cheesecake factory. Ambiance is always the same in cheesecake.

For best results, don't go on a Sunday afternoon. Or Saturday evening. Or weekend at all. Or for that matter, weekdays too... You know what you're getting here; the expansive menu is no different from any other Cheesecake Factory in the US. I remain grateful for the Vegan Cobb Salad, which is fresh and abundant, if lacking in flavor and over-priced. Ask for balsamic vinegar on the side to perk it up, along with plenty of salt and pepper. If you have a work meeting or fussy relatives in town, it's fine. Service is kind if painfully slow. You may need to hunt down your server to order, request additional items, and to pay. Don't be patient; they're not coming. read more

Cheesecake factory is the cornucopia of everything you could ever want to eat under one roof, but I just came to grab cheesecake to go and that was a pretty quick endeavor. It was surprisingly busy at 8pm but still didn't take too long to order at the side checkout. Cheesecakes are displayed in the case and pick your slice. Honestly, I wish I didn't know the calorie count, but doesn't prevent it from being delicious. Oreo Dream Extreme is my go to for chocolate cheesecake oreo goodness, complete with oreo cookies and crumbles. It's decadent but if you split it with a friend, doesn't feel that bad.

I haven't been to a Cheesecake Factory for years. I usually try to hit up the local spots. While out with friend she suggested this oldie but goodie! No wait for seating, clean, bright, and cheerful. Portions are still ginormous! Shared an appetizer (corn cakes are a little magical). We tried the Cobb and Shepherd's Pie, took home enough for an extra meal or two. Shared some Banana Cheesecake which I as light and airy and very bit as delicious as I remember. Every staff member was polite and cordial, anyone passing by cleared empty dishes. Put it on your lunch or dinner list, as a date night, or girls day out! read more
