    Can't go wrong with this American staple. Cheesecake Factory probably has the biggest menu ever. There are so many different items on their menu. Today's entrees of choice were the Louisiana chicken pasta and the chicken piccata. The Louisiana pasta was a little under seasoned but the chicken piccata was good and didn't have an overpowering lemon flavor. Very subtle. Service was ok. It was Sunday and it was super busy so our waiter was all over but she did fine in checking in on us. We settled on the peach perfect cheesecake to go and it was so good. Not heavy at all and the peach flavor is carried all throughout the slice. Perfect for summer.

    I've been 2 Cheesecake Factory a total of 3 times. We were greeted quickly and sat almost immediately! I appreciate the fact that the kitchen is scratch. However the food is always just okay. Good enough to return for a nice quick lunch but never anywhere to go for a a celebration or to actively seek out. Our server was great even thought the restaurant was extremely busy. I'll return again!

    We came here around 2pm on a Saturday afternoon. There was a little bit of a wait but only about 20-25 mins for a party of 4. My interaction with the hostess station was welcoming and professional. Once we got seated in our booth , our server came right over to take our drink orders. I have zero complaints on the service. Any questions we had about the menu were answered cordially. The adult beverages are HIGH ( in my opinion). I ordered a tropical mimosa from the brunch menu and it was like $13 ('maybe). I didn't know until we got the check at the end. It was a cute little drink and tasty but STILL!! I also had a dirty martini with stuffed blue cheese olives. I preferred it over the cute drink. It was expensive too! Hahaah. Oh well. We ordered calamari to share. I didn't love it because it was bland tasting. I hated that it was served with tartar and cocktail as the dipping sauces. Terrible choices! My niece and nephew both ordered the chicken shawarma with fries. They really enjoyed it and had leftovers since the portion sizes were plentiful. I had one of my nephew's fries and it was sooooo salty though! For my meal, I had the Cajun salmon ( lunch portion) with spinach & mashed potatoes. The salmon had a nice flavor, not spicy, really. I was surprisingly pleased with this dish. The mashed potatoes could have been a little warmer. I also had leftovers. My mom had chicken tenders with mashed potatoes and what looked like a head of broccoli. Lol It was so much food for the birthday girl! She enjoyed her food and had leftovers for 2 meals. Of course no trip to TCF is complete without cheesecake or some kind of dessert. We had lemon meringue and tiramisu cheesecake. We also had 2 chocolate cake slices. My pick was the lemon meringue cheesecake & I loved it. I ate off of it a few time. My niece had the tiramisu cheesecake and love it too! Lastly , my mom and nephew both had the chocolate cake. Guess what? They enjoyed them as well! We got our desserts to go because we were already so full. We had a nice time together celebrating my mommy's bday!

    I was there for lunch today, been a long time since I have eaten here, I ordered Grilled Salmon with Sautéed Spinach and mashed potato. It was good but I wish that the Salmon has skin on, the skin gives more flavor because of a little fat in it. Otherwise, my meal is good. Server is very attentive and the ambiance is perfect.

    We came here after the movies with 1 hour to spare and everything was still as expected. Kylie's customer service was impeccable. We ordered the following: Tex mex rolls: 7/10 too flaky, wanted more filling BBQ Ranch chicken salad: 10/10 Banger everytime everywhere Kids Spaghetti Meatball: 10/10 youngest loved it Original Cheesecake: 10/10 can't go wrong

    This is considered a full portion apparently. For $11....

    Ordered from them tonight. There was very thick black HAIR in my food. The portion sizes of the green beans and cucumbers were less than half of what they are supposed to be. $11 for about 7 cucumber pieces?!?!

    We came here on a Saturday night after my daughter's recital. The wait was 45 minutes for our party of 8. Our waitress was very nice and accommodating. For the food.....Do not, I repeat DO NOT get the fish and chips. The fish has absolutely no seasoning at all. Putting salt and pepper doesn't help either. The first time we got it, it was bland but thought....maybe the cook is having a bad day. We ordered it again and it was still horrible. My daughter ordered a side of corn and she didn't like it at all. I tasted it and it had a very odd taste. The jambalaya pasta was missing something. I can't think of what it is but is was also lacking flavor. The Cheesecake Factory was one of my top 5 fave restaurants, but it's slowly move doing the pole. It's just not what it used to be.

    Went on a Friday night and the wait time was about 35 minutes which was okay! I could walk around the Summit as I waited. The food is always filling and the servers are great. I got a truffle honey chicken with asparagus and mash potatoes. I thought it would be sweeter but it was still good. The ambiance has good music and looks nice on the inside.

    I stopped by recently on a whim for National Dessert Day. My friend and I ordered food and dessert. The service was great. Our waiter was very attentive and helped me decide on my entree. I picked the steak medallions from the skinnylicious menu. The dish was very flavorful and the perfect serving. My friend ordered the smashburger and Buffalo blasts as an appetizer. He said both were amazing. The cheesecake slices were half off this day as a reward members and were my friend's, who got them to go, but I know they were delicious as they always are. The ambiance is always a vibe here, which will keep me coming back. I will return again for this dish!

    Stuffed  Cheddar cheeseburger
    Jessica P.

    This used to be one of my favorite restaurants to go to however the service and food have gone a bit downhill. We started off with the truffle fries which were pretty good. It looked like a new menu item. When I was a server I always made sure that my customers drinks never got low. My son had sweet tea but it took a while to get a refill. He ended up getting the Mac and cheese burger and I got the 4 cheese lunch pasta. Their lunch portions are served until 5pm. When I visited the bathroom I got the last few pieces of toilet paper. It was obvious that no one was checking on the bathroom situation. We were able to get a table without a wait because it was a Friday afternoon. The pasta sauce was watery which was dissatisfying. My son did enjoy his burger. We ordered an Oreo dream cheesecake slice to go. The music was so loud I could barely hear my son. Please lower the music so people can have a nice peaceful meal. I'm not sure if I will be back or not. Oh and a sweet tea is $4.95 which is insanity!! Greg C was our server.

    Waited for nearly an hour for my pickup order. When the girl handed me my bag of food, sauce from pasta got on the front of my shirt. Got home and opened my food to find that all of the sauce from my pasta leaked down into the bottom of the bag, totally saturating the box that my husband's flatbread was in. There was basically no sauce left on my pasta at all. And the food was barely warm. Don't offer curbside/pickup if you can't accommodate it. Will never return.

    Got a pick up order from here and me and my wife enjoyed the food but found a large piece of plastic in the pasta. I wasn't able to leave a review or request a discount since i had already left and rated the service 5 stars...

    The manager did the right thing by comping my meal and offering me a cheesecake.
    Liranda C.

    The restaurant is pretty nice, the service was overall wry good, but I'm not sure what that was that was in my chicken pasta. I puked after I bit down and saw it.

    Mexican chicken "skinny" salad was very good and enough for two. Daughter rated a 4.5 out of 5.

    This is the second time I've been to this restaurant in about two weeks…read more We came here on a Saturday afternoon. It wasn't too busy. Maybe there was three tables open. We started off with the chips and dip because my son had had it the last time he was here which was last weekend. The house chips were very delicious. I didn't catch my server's name, but she was short and had blonde hair and she was attentive. They were still serving brunch, but I decided to get a patty melt while my son got the big green pimp burger. This time we got the salted caramel cookie from cookie fix with some ice cream and brought it home and that was very delicious. The parking is a little tricky. It's a bit steep. They have a small bar area where it looked like there were several regulars there. There were several TVs in there to watch the different games that were on. The only thing I don't like is that there's no coke products they have Pepsi, which I really don't care for Pepsi other than that I think it's a really great place. Very casual.

I could have done them a little spicier, but that's personal preference. I would definitely get them again. I also ordered a side of the gumbo, which was very good. Very dark roux, very tasty. This place hits the spot and is a great option for a group of all ages, they'd definitely have something to please everybody. Service is good, too. Parking can be a little difficult and it's on a steep hill.

It gives a great vibe for either a work dinner, a date night, owl or dinner with friends! It's fun and swanky but not over the top. They have a really attractive bar and they have a pizza kitchen that is open, which is always a cool touch. I try to handful of appetizers and I've got to recommend both the jerk cauliflower as well as the brussels sprouts and the Caesar salad was delicious as well. Also, the blistered Hungarian peppers are a must order if you'd like sausage! The meal that I had both times because it was that good was the spicy lamb rigatoni. I might just go back next week and get it again. I like that they have a wide variety of options whether you're looking for a gluten-free meal or something carb heavy like pizza or pasta, but they also have options to fit a variety of budgets from a casual dinner and a burger to more expensive entrées. The servers are very kind and are definitely educated in their wine and food offerings and very hospitable. Since this is located on Morris, a lot of people think parking is difficult down there, but apparently there is a parking lot in the back where you're able to get your ticket validated. I know some of my friends wish they would have known this before. I'll definitely be back and recommend this spot to others wanting a good meal!

My dad ordered the "Magic City Manhattan" -- I'm not normally a dark liquor person, but I thought this was fantastic. I think it was the pecan liquor which made it so good. We split the muscles appetizer, which was great. The broth was so warm, garlicky, acidic, perfect. Love. And the bread that came with was great, too. If I'm being picky, the bread services' butter could've been more room-temp and easier to spread. But that's me being extremely picky. We ordered the lamb chop entree to split, too. Again, great. This is a fantastic spot if you're not looking to travel downtown for dinner. Easy menu, crowd pleasing. Definitely suited for an older crowd, which can be harder to find in the downtown spots.

Some family friends from Huntsville swear by it and got it while staying with my mom in Bham, so we tried them out during my recent visit. I ordered us the Angel pizza.

The pizza was good and we enjoyed but this flavor was probably just a little too much cream so I'd check out another flavor next time or build my own. I could use more of a red sauce base for Detroit style. Did takeout from The Summit- was mostly quick in and out. Hot, Freshly made and the crispy edges I adore. I like how their two sizes are listed on the website as sixer and tener. It's def not cheap but I guess not horribly priced either.
