    Chicken and Fried Chicken & Waffle
    Rae M.

    Who doesn't love a trip to The Cheesecake Factory? The menu is basically a novel, the options are endless, and everyone at the table can find something they're excited to eat. That's exactly why my sister and I stopped by the Montgomery Mall location after a morning of shopping. We expected a reliable and enjoyable experience, unfortunately, that wasn't the case. The restaurant was packed, customers everywhere and servers dashing through the crowd. Once seated, service got off to a rocky start. Our initial server was not a good fit, and when we brought our concerns to the manager, Jahir, things didn't improve. If anything, the interaction made the situation more frustrating instead of resolving it. Thankfully, we were reassigned to Joswai(sp?), who completely turned the tone around. He was attentive, respectful, and customer service oriented. That said, service wasn't the only issue. Some of our food arrived lukewarm at best, and in one case, cold. My sister even had to send her waffle back. Disaster after disaster! The food that was actually served warm, was really good. All in all, this location missed the mark. Joswai was the clear bright spot, but not enough to outweigh the rest of the experience. I'll chalk this one up as a learning experience and choose a different Cheesecake Factory next time.

    It took us a while to get seated and once we were finally seated it took another 5 minutes to get menus and waters. The service here was very lack luster with my waiter only checking in a few times. Once our food was delivered we had decided we wanted to try desert so we asked our waitress for the menu again she quickly brought the menu but then didn't come back for 15 minutes to take our order which by that time we were in a rush to get out to make our 8:30 movie. Luckily enough they have the section where you can just get takeaway cheesecake, but our waitress missed out on more money on our tab. On the food side of things, I can't really complain everyone in my family was very happy with our meals and how they tasted. The environment of the restaurant was great as there was the Germany and Paraguay World Cup game and people were loving the PKs

    Great visit & never disappoints! The Cheesecake Factory ......It's a place which you could visit again and again. The menu is large, very accommodating and has something for everyone in your party..... including those that are vegan, vegetarian and/or have special dietary needs. This location is attached to the Montgomery Mall in Bethesda, Maryland. It's very popular so also very busy, so you should be prepared to wait a bit for a table. I have been to this location several times and can say the food and service has been very consistent. During this visit, I came here for a birthday celebration for a friend and everyone in our group enjoyed the food and experience. We died on some of everything with a couple of standout as well, such as the occasion, jambalaya pasta, cheeseburger egg rolls, Thai shrimp, and shepherds pie.. Everything we ate was very good and we enjoyed it. The drinks were strong and our server, Josiah kept them coming. He was very attentive, helpful and provided great customer service. Also, he was very knowledgeable about the different foods and pages of menu options. Lol. And of course, the highlight of your night.....the CHEESECAKES!! What's the point of coming here and not trying one!? We all dived in on several cheesecakes. They are all good but my favorite when I come here is hands-down the Reese's peanut butter, chocolate cake Chocolate Cake. Layers of you guessed it Reese's peanut butter and chocolate chunks and a cheesecake with a chocolate cake layered in between. On top of all that another layer of chocolate ganache and dollop of whipped peanut butter!! AlI can say is....HEAVEN!.....And, Jesus take the wheel on my A1C!! lol. Totally worth the splurge every now and then. :-) In all a great visit, great food and always a great place when looking to dine in large groups, dates or solo. There's something here for everyone. Thumbs up and I recommend this location!

    Rating is for take-out services at the cheesecake counter! Cheesecake Factory is a classic, and we enjoy taking out slices from the cake counter. It's easy to line up and view all the desserts, make a selection, and just pay for your slice! Though pricy for a slice, the convenience, and taste make up for it! They always hook you up with whipped cream just like inside the restaurant. Free parking lot as part of the Montgomery Mall.

    Buffalo wings were good . The herb crusted Salmon was bland. The mash potatoes weren't mash all the way . Had no type of seasoning on it ! There food usually good here , don't know what was the deal that night ! I did door dash ! I can say , whenever I call ,they do listen to me when I call to ask to staple bag tight etc

    Mango Smoothie

    My wife and I came here for our weekly date night. We love The Cheesecake Factory and this was a great visit. Tryanna was our server and she was great! She was patient, attentive and helpful with our orders. She even gave feedback on her personal recommendations as we were having trouble deciding what to get on certain things. We ordered our drinks and I got a mango smoothie. Then we got spinach dip for the appetizer and for the entrée we ended up getting the Mac and cheese burger which was very good :) we ended the evening with a slice of Peach Perfect cheesecake and Lemon Raspberry cream cheesecake. This was a fun visit with no issues :) 5/5 we've been coming here for a while now. - SupaFlyITGuy approved!

    Pumpkin & Pumpkin Pecan
    Michelle K.

    Stopped by The Cheesecake Factory before heading home to take advantage of their half-price happiness for desserts. I've been wanting to try the Pumpkin Pecan Cheesecake for a while. I love pumpkin but had never tried pecan pie, so this was the perfect excuse. The pumpkin layer was so good, everything I hoped for. The pecan part wasn't really for me (a bit too rich), but I'm glad I tried it. Overall, still a fun mix of flavors! Service was quick and friendly, and the half-price deal made it even sweeter. I'd definitely go back to try another seasonal flavor or maybe stick to my faves.

    This slice is what dreams are made of. Creamy, rich, and layered with chunks of real Oreo cookies--every bite is pure bliss. The cheesecake is velvety smooth, with just the right amount of crunch from the cookie base. And don't get me started on that mountain of whipped cream--fluffy perfection. Whether you're team chocolate or cheesecake, this is the best of both worlds. One bite and you're hooked. Trust. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $20-30

    Overall the experience was ok, not terrible or bad but not great. The service lacked attention and warmth. From start to finish it felt rushed, what's worse is that they weren't even busy. The food tasted good but could have been better (hot served not lukewarm) hope they get better because I hate to give up on my favorite cheesecake spot.

    It's been a long minute since my last visit to a Cheesecake Factory. I always remember the menu being so large it was difficult to decide on what I should eat. The menu is still pretty extensive but lunch specials available before 5 pm helped me narrow my choices. The flatbread pizza was good, just a little too burnt on a few of the edges. The Thai lettuce wraps with chicken were a huge hit. They come in two sizes, one with 3 pieces of a chicken or the larger with 6 pieces of chicken. Pictured is the smaller size that we ordered. It's unlikely anything changes except the number of pieces of chicken because it's a pretty large meal to begin with. The chicken Avocado Club was pretty good. Fresh ingredients and loved the toasted bread. A dash of salt and it was just right for me. The restaurant is quite large with ample seating both inside the restaurant and in the corridors of the mall itself. There's a lot of hustle and bustle from the staff as they work the magic that make things happen. That being said, service was a little slower than I prefer. It took a while to both get our food and our final check. Request that check as soon as you can especially if you know you won't be ordering a dessert.

    Assorted Cheese Cakes
    Mel W.

    I called ahead to place an order when I arrived the cheesecake was almost ready, they added the fresh whipped cream as I waited. The staff was efficient, the interior (from what I could see) appeared clean. The pick up area was not overly crowded, the cheese cake was good and a decent sized portion.

    Corn dog from the children's menu... delicious..

    Last time I was at the Cheesecake Factory was twenty years ago and Facebook may or may not have been a thing... but MySpace most probably was... but I digress... I tried to remember what I liked from here but I started having flashback of yesteryear when time was not so simple because Free Tabet... or something... what was I talking about... Oh... the menu was vast... and unending... like the never ending story... What was I even talking about... No... NO!!! Don't look into the void... it's looking back... oh my god... there is no god.... It's all a lie.... Time... Forever out of grasp...

    Dear Management, I…read moream writing to share my family's experience during our Father's Day visit to your restaurant. Unfortunately, what should have been a special celebration turned into a very disappointing experience due to the service we received upon arrival. We had a reservation for 4:00 p.m. When we arrived, the gentleman at the host stand was not welcoming or friendly. He simply told us to "step to the side" and that someone would assist us in a few minutes. As the minutes passed, we continued to wait without any communication. During that time, a white family of five walked in without a reservation and was seated immediately. At that point, I approached the host stand to ask what had happened and why we had not been seated despite having a reservation. The host searched for our reservation, asked what time it was scheduled for, and then casually stated, "I think someone stole your table." I was shocked by this response. I asked how that could happen if he was responsible for managing the seating. He had no explanation and, more importantly, never offered an apology for the mistake or the inconvenience. A manager later came over and asked what had happened. After I explained the situation, he appeared genuinely surprised and concerned by what had occurred. Once we were finally seated, our server acknowledged the delay and kindly offered us an appetizer because of the long wait at the front. We appreciated that gesture, but it did not change how unwelcome we had been made to feel upon arrival. I am writing this letter not because I am looking for compensation or anything in return. My purpose is simply to ensure that no other family has a similar experience, especially on a day meant to celebrate loved ones. Every guest deserves to be treated with fairness, courtesy, and respect. A sincere apology from the host at the time of the incident would have gone a long way. I hope you will use this feedback as an opportunity to coach your front-of-house staff on the importance of customer service, communication, and accountability. Thank you for taking the time to read my concerns. Sincerely, Ms. Deas

While I thought the menu was limited, it does the job. I wanted Branzino and had that in my mind the whole day but was disappointed that it wasn't on the menu. Welp, y'all know I love a burger. Service was fantastic! Ambiance feels like stepping into a French‑Mediterranean boutique café that someone elevated into a luxury dining room. It's warm, intimate, and softly glamorous without trying too hard. Let's get into it! Chicken Kabob - Seasoned perfectly over rice! Really good! Burger - Added bacon and mushrooms- Absolutely delicious! Drinks were delicious! No apps because I wasn't that hungry! I will definitely be back to try more of the menu!

    Thank you to Caruso's Grocery for hosting my granddaughter's 16th birthday dinner. A huge shout out…read moreto Patrick, the event coordinator from Caruso's who helped me in every aspect of planning this special event. The food was delicious. The group was given a choice of appetizers: meatballs, basil and tomato caprese salad, dinner salad, or garlic bread. Each of the appetizers were better than the next. The girls shared the meatballs, garlic bread, and caprese salad. Thank you to our server for bringing out gluten free bread for one of our guests with a gluten allergy. Our main dishes was the shrimp scampi,which was full of flavor and so tasty. There were several of us who ordered the shrimp scampi and you could hear a chorus of oohs and aah's. We loved every bite. I am pleased to share that Caruso's has gluten free pasta for guests with gluten allergies. And, the gluten free pasta was scrumptious. The birthday girl had chicken parmigiana and a side of spaghetti. She really enjoyed her meal. Another, guest had the penne pasta and she loved hers too. There portions were very generous. We also had a guest order the Caesar salad with shrimp. It came out with dressing, when the dressing was supposed to be on the side, but our waiter was quick to remedy that. The ambiance is lovely and reminds me of my grandmother's home in Little Italy. It is old world Italian with comfortable seating. I know it was a busy night, but the one fly in our ointment was our server. There was too much of a lag between courses, and main dishes came out of the kitchen at different times. Also, our gluten free guest had to sit and watch while others ate cake because her ice cream sundae was no where to be found. It finally made it to the table, but I felt badly for this young lady. I know our server was swamped with guests. Hopefully, next time a large party is on the schedule, they can lighten the load for that server. All of the girls had a good time including the birthday girl. So, I am reminded of the saying, it all works out in the end. Thank you, Caruso's.

I finally tried their brunch items on Mother's Day this year. My family enjoyed their breakfast burrito, burger with shoe string fries, and Cobb salad. The burrito was packed with eggs, chorizo, and all the fun sauces, making each bite flavorful and filling. I was pretty full after eating just half of it, and it came with a side of breakfast potatoes too. My only complaint about my experience here was that my entree came out 10 minutes before my dad's burger did. I know it w an be hard to time for all dishes to be ready at the same time, but I would have preferred for them to keep my entree on a heating plate rather than delivering it when it was ready. Overall, the restaurant offers traditional American items, with a slight spin. I am curious about their fried bacon sticks are about.

An hour later we regretted the decision. A breakfast burrito shouldn't take an hour to be made and the beauty of an open kitchen is that you can literally see the moment the chefs realize there's an empty spot on their griddle where a burrito should have been. I'm giving three stars because of the fact that the staff were probably exhausted from a brunch party that was ending; but what happened to the good ol days where bar staff were attentive and offered assurance rather than essentially ignoring our existence until we reminded them that we're not just keeping the seat warm while watching ice melt in our expensive drinks. The kicker... The burrito wasn't even hot when it arrived! The more I think about it, the more upsetting it is because I hate giving bad reviews. After second thought, I'm giving it two stars for the lack of accountability, service, and quality of food. We've gotten better service from plenty of places that were way more crowded and busy.

    Mother's Day brunch was unfortunately a disappointment. With late planning about a week beforehand,…read morewe were happy to even secure a reservation for 9 people at 10 a.m. One guest wasn't feeling well, so our final party was 8. We also had a super senior with us, so getting everyone seated took a little extra time, and we were finally settled by about 10:15. From there, things went downhill service-wise. We waited and waited for a server and had to ask multiple employees walking by if someone could help us. Finally, around 10:50, Giovanni came to take our order. While he was taking it, another customer interrupted him to complain that although she had received her food, her children still hadn't gotten their drinks. He attempted to assist her, and we expressed our frustration at being interrupted after already waiting so long. To his credit, he asked someone else to help her. The restaurant itself has a cozy layout with several different sections, and I really wanted to like the place since I pass it often but had never stopped in before. Because it was Mother's Day, we tried not to let the delays ruin our time together, but the service was honestly unacceptable for such a special occasion. As for the food: - Shrimp & grits (2 orders): 4/5 The flavor was very good, the grits were creamy, and the turkey sausage added a nice touch. My only complaint was that some ingredients were chopped so finely that there wasn't much texture or bite. The shrimp was good/whole though. - Catfish & grits (3 orders plus an extra side of grits): 3/5 You get two large pieces of fish, which was appreciated, especially for bigger appetites. However, one person felt the batter was overly seasoned and too salty. - Chicken & waffles (2 orders): 4/5 Generous portions with four pieces of boneless chicken and four waffle sections. Definitely satisfying. We also ordered a pizza, mini sliders, biscuits, four adult beverages, and a hot tea. The total bill came to around $350 with the automatic gratuity included for a large party, which was actually reasonable for everything ordered. Overall, the food had some bright spots, but the extremely poor service overshadowed the experience. Being busy on Mother's Day is understandable, especially for a restaurant that has been around for a long time, but special occasions are exactly when service should be at its best. Sadly, we left totally disappointed. Overall rating: 2.5/5. Decent food and atmosphere couldn't make up for the long waits and poor service experience on Mother's Day.

    This restaurant is a vast land of rustic insanity -- and that's a great thing…read more Loaded with dark woods and a hunting and fishing lodge design of old, the lighting is solid and due to all of the canoes, fishing baskets, and memorabilia, the sound of diners is absorbed into the woodwork. Seating is comfortable and inviting and there is no music to infiltrate one's conversation. The hostesses are kind and friendly. Cody, our server, is well versed in food and beverage and he helped us navigate the finer points of the menu. His recommendations were spot on. Our meal was perfect. My girlfriend enjoyed her Clyde's Chili, mashed potatoes and broccolini, as well as her key lime pie with raspberry dessert. This was one of my all-time favorite meals. The chicken liver with cranberry compote is swoon-worthy. Absolutely remarkable. My Maryland-Style Crisfield Stew was exceptional. Loaded with seafood (mussels, fish, crab, and more) in tomato-based broth that was slightly spicy but not acidic. Everything in the dish was tender and perfectly cooked. (There was one little fingerling potato cut in half as if the chef was vehemently declaring that they do not use fillers in their stews.) For dessert, I had their "Cupcake of the Day," matcha and raspberry, which was light and delicious. The accompanying latte was wonderful. We greatly appreciate Cody, the chef, and the kitchen staff for making us one incredible meal. I want to relocate to Rockville just to be near Clyde's!

Especially for the what you're expecting and the price point. Steaks are choice cut and are not cooked properly.
