I visited The Cheesecake Factory in Cerritos on Friday around noon with one of my friends. I hadn't been to The Cheesecake Factory since I was 18, so I was curious to see how it would hit as a grown woman. The restaurant was clean and fairly spacious, although I wasn't a huge fan of how dark the inside was, especially considering it was noon. We ended up sitting on the patio, which I actually preferred. We started with the fried calamari, which was delicious. I also ordered the cucumber martini with Ketel One vodka, and that was definitely a favorite. For my main dish, I ordered the Chicken Costoletta and substituted the mashed potatoes for angel hair pasta, along with asparagus and a side of the sauce. The food was good, and I enjoyed the chicken more than the pasta. Service was okay. My friend and I both asked for extra sauce, but hers didn't come with her food. It took about 10 minutes for the sauce to arrive, and by then her food had cooled down a bit. I was almost finished eating, so unfortunately we weren't able to enjoy our meals at the same time. My biggest surprise was the bathrooms. For a restaurant this large, I expected the restrooms to be bigger. Overall, the food was good, but honestly, The Cheesecake Factory felt a little overhyped to me and very much like a chain restaurant. I would definitely come back for happy hour, drinks, and appetizers, but I don't see myself craving it for a full meal. Not a bad experience at all just not a new go-to for me. read more

I've given Cheesecake Factory a few tries now, and honestly... I just don't get the hype. I've ordered some of their "customer favorite" dishes thinking okay, THIS time I'll see what everyone is talking about -- but unfortunately, still nothing has really impressed me. The food is just... okay. Nothing bad enough to complain about, but definitely nothing that has me craving it or rushing back. The one thing I will happily give them credit for is the Pineapple Upside-Down Cheesecake. That's the only thing I've had here that I genuinely love. We did a pickup order this time, and I will say the service was great! Everything was ready on time and the staff was friendly. Maybe Cheesecake Factory and I just aren't meant to be. read more

I hadn't been to Cheesecake Factory in over five years. It used to be the place I'd go to with my friends to celebrate birthdays or graduations back in middle school. I recently saw a video about how Cheesecake Factory manages one of the largest, everything made fresh menus in America, and since my friend had never been we decided to go. I booked a reservation a week in advance because it was national cheesecake day and they were doing half off on all their cheesecakes! We checked in at 6:45pm on a Thursday and was told by the hostess that we'd get a message once our table was ready. 30 minutes passed and I still hadn't yet received a text - I even checked my reservation details to make sure my phone number was correct. I thought things were backed up because of the half-off deal crowd but when I checked in for an update, the hostess seemed confused. They quickly had us sat down in the outside patio area, and a table where the sun was directly shining into my face... We asked to speak to a manager and AJ, the host manager came by to help us figure out what had went wrong with our reservation and to seat us at a more comfortable table. I want to thank him again for his assistance and appreciate all he did for us. For our appetizers, we ordered the crab and artichoke dip, and crispy brussels sprouts. Instead of the crab dip, we received the spinach and artichoke dip (sigh). When we spoke to our server, they mentioned that the only dip with artichoke was the spinach one until I showed them the description for the crab dip on the menu. An honest mistake to make with how large the menu is and how often things are changed. In the end, our favorite food of the meal ended up being the appetizers. Both the brussels sprouts and crab dip were 10/10. The cheesecake was delicious as always. We ended up leaving the restaurant at 8:45pm, so two hours was spent due to all the delays and issues. Not the best first impression for my friend's first time, but the food and hospitality helped make up for it. read more

We had a very friendly, but inattentive and forgetful waiter which made our dining experience really long and exhausting, which was hard for us cause we were dealing with twin toddlers. The food was decent, but some items like the mashed potatoes were too salty. We notified our server of our twin's allergies, which included dairy, but one of their kid's meals still came out with mashed potatoes. I love that the portions here are large and always enough to take home for lunch the next day. Chicken bellagio or chicken maderia is usually my go to order. read more

This location is always busy especially lunch and dinner time. Met some friends here for birthday lunch. I think one my friends made the arrangements so when I got there they were at a booth. We order drinks first then appetizer. We had pasta dishes and salad lunch portions. Food came quickly. We order dessert too. read more

Double the celebration with Cheesecake Factory. On June 30th, we went with close friend to have a pre birthday celebration at Cheesecake Factory. The food was average and service was just ok, but we were so busy catching up, I think our server got fed up. On July 1st, my actual birthday, my cousin sent me a door dash surprise with some cheesecake factory avocado egg rolls and a whole Oreo cookie extreme cheesecake for my birthday.

We like The Cheesecake Factory. The last few years, we felt that their food tasted much better than before. So we stopped by The Cheesecake Factory while at this mall. We both had salmon but just different versions. Hubby had the grilled salmon and opted for spinach instead of broccoli and that was good. I had the teriyaki salmon, which was also very good. We were full, so ordered a piece carrot cake to go. That's the best piece of carrot cake we've had for a very long time. We both like carrot cake so buying it often at different bakeries. Service was good. read more

My husband and I took our family here for Mother's Day. If you've been the Cheesecake Factory before, you know what to expect--good food and big portions! Everyone in our party ordered different things and everyone was satisfied with their meals. I ordered the Baja bowl with shrimp and thought it tasted like an elevated chipotle bowl. It wasn't mind blowing but was still tasty and felt pretty balanced. Overall, I'd recommend it. The ambiance here is nice! I'm knocking down a star for service though. We had a reservation for a party of 7 but our party didn't get seated until over 30 minutes past our reservation time, and this is with us following up a few times. While I understand that it was a holiday weekend, I feel like it shouldn't have taken as long as it did. Alongside that, it was hard to flag our waiter down when we needed him and it took an extremely long time for our food to come out. Overall, service here can use improvement but I still enjoyed my dinner here. read more

Birthday celebration means The Cheesecake Factory was calling. First time trying the grilled steak medallions and wow... this dish delivered. The tender Certified Angus beef medallions were perfectly grilled with that smoky open-flame flavor, and I loved the smaller round cuts inspired by classic French cuisine. The sautéed asparagus, shiitake mushrooms, and cherry tomatoes paired beautifully with the rich Madeira wine sauce and honestly elevated the whole plate. We also ordered the steak frites -- a classic French-Belgian combo featuring juicy ribeye topped with garlic butter alongside crispy golden fries. Simple, hearty, and hard not to love. Perfect birthday dinner spot when you want something a little indulgent but still polished and satisfying. read more

On 07/17/26, I had a taste for a Cheesecake Factory Macaroni and Cheeseburger so we went to the location at the Cerritos Mall. My husband had the Salmon Plate. We were both pleased. The ambience is always special and our server Pedro was superb. He was so attentive. He was ready to go over their menu, kept drinks flowing and made sure we enjoyed our meals. It was a hot day and Pedro brought us Ice Teas to go without us asking. I still recommend this restaurant. It's also a cool area to shop and to explore eateries. read more

Wow is this cheesecake BUSY! there was a line to put your name on the list going all the way to the door. We had an amazing experience overall, the staff and one manager in particular, made our night extremely special. Thank you so much Abi! The Cheesecake Factory is lucky to have her that's for sure. We were there celebrating our daughter's 3rd birthday and she felt so loved. Abi and our server came to sing happy birthday and the cheesecakes that were recommended were delicious! From start to finish, we appreciated the friendly and attentive service despite how busy it was and would absolutely recommend this establishment to anyone looking for a combination of quality food and hospitality. Just something to note- depending on when you plan to go parking may take a bit as the lot was pretty full around dinner time on the weekend. Also there is an entrance on the outer part of the mall so you do not have to walk through the mall at all to get inside cheesecake. read more

The Cheesecake Factory - Walking to our table - Desserts Near Me - Cerritos, California

Came here for a casual lunch with my partner earlier in April and we were seated pretty quickly at the outside patio area. Our server, Nikki, was very kind and attentive despite running around and dealing with all new tables that just got sat. Per our servers recommendation, we ordered the mac n cheese balls and they were delicious! I will definitely be ordering them regularly now. We did get some of the food items before we got bread so that was strange but we weren't too upset about it at all. Now for the real reason behind this review: my partner ordered a steal, medium rare. When the steak was brought out, we could tell immediately that the steak was cooked to a medium well level. My sweet partner forbade me from bringing it up to the server as he doesn't like to cause problems. We were letting it slide when our server, Nikki, checked in with us and even doubled back when she noticed the steak was improperly prepared. She was super apologetic and kind and stated she would get a new steak since the first one was overdone. She offered a soup or salad while we waited for the new food to arrive. The next steak came out hot and cooked properly the second time and my partner got to enjoy his meal how he preferred so a win there. Nikki's dedication to providing a good experience has left its mark on me and my partner. We will def be coming back to enjoy more meals here. I love a scratch kitchen like what cheesecake factory offers read more

--- We had a big family birthday celebration for my wife Elizabeth here at The Cheesecake Factory in Cerritos, CA, and Derek was absolutely awesome. From the moment we arrived, he took great care of our entire group and made everything feel smooth and stress-free. The rest of the staff was excellent as well - friendly, attentive, and on top of every detail. The restaurant has a great atmosphere for family gatherings, and our whole party really enjoyed the food and desserts. If you're in the Cerritos area and looking for a place to celebrate or just have a nice meal, definitely give this location a try - you'll like it Derek was our waiter.

The service at The Cheesecake Factory was great. We made reservations, so there was no long wait to get in. We were greeted and seated in a professional manner! The server showed up quickly, brought us water and drinks, and took our order. She brought hot bread to eat before we had our main course. The entre was warm/almost hot. It was really tasty as well. I had salmon (a tad bit dry, but good), and I probably would order a different dish the next time. My wife had a pizza inspired chicken with pasta. The chicken was flattened like a pizza crust with angel hair pasta on top. My wife really really enjoyed it. We ordered two separate slices of cheesecake for dessert. My wife enjoyed her peach cheesecake, and my lemon merengue cheesecake was (ok). As usual it was a little noisy inside the restaurant, but I guess that's what you get with a super popular place. We saw several (6-10) cheesecake Factory bags (doggie bags) on the way as we were walking to the restaurant. Despite being crowded, the service was excellent. If you can, then I recommend making a reservation. It will make the dining experience good to great. I'll definitely go back. read more

Large menu offers so many options I just wish that there was consistency in flavor for the items The beet salad looks good but is seriously missing flavor from earlier sampling at another location Questioned server since it was lacking any dressing. She only brought yogurt. Not right Don't know if it is worth trying again to just get vegetables with no flavor read more

We visited on a Sunday and there was a little wait to get seated, but wasn't too bad considering it was a weekend. After 15-20 minutes we were seated. We asked for outdoor since we had our dog. The "outdoor " area we were seated was actually inside the mall right outside the restaurant ( was perfect lol) Staff that seated us was very friendly and so was our server. Super nice of her to offer my dog a water bowl. I went with the Baja bowl, the portion was very generous and filling. Chicken was flavorful and juicy. Delicious bowl and I would order again. My fiancé ordered the smokehouse BBQ burger. He said it was very good, I didn't try it myself so can't review that order, but it looked delicious. I did steal some of the yummy fries . My little baby look so happy sitting at the table with us :) read more

Came here for my friends birthday with her daughter. As we were getting seated the hostess asked if we were celebrating something because she saw the gift I was holding, so I excitedly told her we were celebrating her birthday. We got seated outside and we ordered a kids alfredo bowtie pasta, steak frites, shrimp scampi and a lemonade. Everything took so long despite having very few tables around us (we sat outside by the entrance), but what bothered me most was when our dishes finally came out our steak and fries were cold. On top of it all, we were surprised that a $33 steak dish was basically cold fries with a side of steak. The steak was about the size of my fist with a mountain of fries. You can refer to the photo to see I am not exaggerating. The steak didn't seem like it was good quality either. Just tiny, fatty and cold. We ate the pasta and left the tiny cold steak and mountain of fries alone until the server finallyyyy came by...so I mentioned the steak and fries were cold. He offered to take it back and made a comment that he noticed the plate felt cold when he was bringing it over to our table. Not sure why he would say that, because if he knew it was cold wouldn't the right thing to do is ask the kitchen to heat it up or remake it instead of having us complain that it was cold? Anyways, the time for them to re-do the steak and fries extended our time there even more which was pretty exhausting. When it finallllyy came out it was pretty much the same as the first time. Maybe a tad warmer with the fries being mixed with cold and warm fries at best. Took forever to get boxes to pack up and the bill. We ordered for a slice of cheesecake to go. (The other thing that bothered me was I thought a place like cheesecake would maybe bring a slice of cheesecake out for my friend, especially since they went out of their way to ask what we were celebratingl. Why ask if they weren't going to do anything? That was honestly embarrassing. Nonetheless we packed a slice a cheesecake for her to eat at home given how long everything took and we had a child with us who was getting very antsy.) 1 Plain Kids Bowtie Pasta 1 Steak Frites 1 Shrimp Scampi = over 2 hour meal from the time we got seated to trying to get someone to take our bill. It was not busy in our area. I will probably never come back here especially to celebrate any future birthdays. read more

I've been to the Cheesecake Factory before when it was busier than it was today. Unfortunately, today the kitchen was very slow. It took almost 30 to 45 minutes before the food actually arrived. The ambience is nice. The patio is very nice. I just wish that they were speed up the process as far as taking the order and delivering. It is not the servers fault, but it's probably shortstaffed in the kitchen. read more

I haven't dined at The Cheesecake Factory in over 10 years, until recently. On a random Friday, my husband and I decided to have lunch here while waiting for my car to be serviced. The food was just like how I remembered, which was fresh and well-prepared. A perk to this location is that they offer calorie-friendly menu items if you're monitoring your calorie intake. Our server was also attentive and friendly throughout our dining experience. Overall, The Cheesecake Factory is a good restaurant that is perfect for family dinners, a first date, or celebrating a special occasion. read more

My husband and I love coming to The Cheesecake Factory -- it's one of those places that just hits every time. Our go-to order is the mini burger sliders paired with cheesecake, because honestly... how could you not get a slice? The raspberry white chocolate cheesecake has me in a full chokehold. It's rich, perfectly balanced, and one of those desserts you think about long after you leave. The sliders are always consistent and tasty, which I really appreciate -- no surprises, just solid every time. The menu is massive (almost overwhelming in the best way), but that also means I can always find something I'm in the mood for. Whether we sit inside or outside doesn't even matter because the restaurant itself is such a vibe. It's usually busy, but there's plenty of seating so it never feels impossible. Bonus surprise: The Street Corn was FIRE. Was not expecting it at all, but it absolutely delivered. The fried cheese was also pretty good and worth ordering if you're feeling snacky. Reliable food, fun atmosphere, and elite dessert options. We'll definitely keep coming back. read more

Cheesecake Factory count your days. I want everyone to look at the portion I received for the Ahi Tuna Nachos -- a dish they charge $20.95 for. I had more soy sauce than ahi tuna. Pure scam. I called and spoke with the manager, Grant, who clearly thought the situation was funny. He told me the ahi tuna is "prepackaged at around 2 oz." So I decided to put everything on a scale myself... and it wasn't even 2 oz. It came out to about 1.5 oz. I'm absolutely livid because I've ordered this exact dish several times while dining in, and it looked NOTHING like this. Apparently because I ordered takeout, someone thought it was acceptable to cut corners and short a customer. For over $20, this portion is embarrassing. Cheesecake Factory should absolutely be ashamed. read more

We've visited this location a couple of times and unfortunately had a similar issue with the brown bread being burned both visits. It was replaced, but it was a bit disappointing to see it happen again. Service felt slower than expected, our drinks and food took quite a while, and when the food arrived, it was only lukewarm. The steak, in particular, didn't seem freshly prepared. We understand that not everything is within the server's control, but more consistent check-ins and communication would have made a difference. We usually tip around 20%, but based on this experience, we adjusted accordingly. We'll likely take a break from this location for now and hope to see improvements in the future. read more

My daughter took me out for my birthday here and for the first time paid the bill, was pretty sweet! The restaurant was nice inside, liked the lighting and vibe. The food to be honest was "meh" at best. She got the hot wings and loves wings but said, the wings really weren't that good. Not crispy on the outside, dry on the inside. Her boyfriend had the pasta, he liked it, but I don't think it's very hard to please him. My wife had the pizza, and she ate all but the last price so I would say she liked it. I had the tuna poke and would of been nice to have more tuna, edamame was good but when 50% is white rice and it's not made well dry and had crunchies in it then time to go back to the drawing board. The fresh cucumber and veggies in it were pleasant. I ate about half of it. The service was pretty good as the food took about 15 minutes to make it out, the waitress (Maria) was kind and checked on us a few times. The cheesecake although they had a large selection I had the vanilla bean one and it's nothing to rave about, like having one that you order frozen from your kids fundraiser. I had a few bites and gave it to my 12 year old when I got home. I started to give 3 stars but pulled it back to 2 after I finished writing this, I wouldn't go back now thinking about it. Bill was $230 minus tip. I think BJs which is same kinda place gots them beat. read more

I usually don't care much for chain restaurants, but we received a gift card to The Cheesecake Factory, so we decided to go for dinner. I honestly don't mind going there since the bread is always good and the service is usually decent. I love sitting outside if the weather allows. The downside is that they're always extremely busy. We ordered two appetizers and two entrées, but still ended up waiting more than 30 minutes for the food. The food was either too salty or too dry. read more

It's crazy to that this location is less than three stars. Y'all haven't been helped by Ellen.

The mall was quite busy, which led my husband to decide against looking for restaurants in the food court, as he anticipated difficulty in finding available seating. We then checked the line at the Cheesecake Factory. Although there were many individuals waiting for tables, we were fortunate to find a few open spots at the bar. I would strongly advise making a reservation on weekends to avoid relying on bar seating availability. The bartenders were very courteous and attentive, despite how busy they were constantly making drinks. I informed my husband that I would be unable to finish my Shrimp Scampi, so he opted for a Cobb Salad. He overlooked the fact that their Cobb Salad is quite substantial. We both thoroughly enjoyed our respective orders. Should we decide to visit this mall again in the future, we will most certainly be making reservations at this particular Cheesecake Factory. The food and service were truly wonderful. read more

I am never one to leave reviews like this but I really felt it needs to be brought to managements attention. I sat down at 3:40pm at the bar top. Aisha was working at the time. She ignored us for awhile after we sat but we weren't in any rush and understand being "busy". For 20 minutes didn't get us any drinks no water 20 mins in I asked can I please have water. We ordered a cheese cake and we still sat there. No water nothing. Finally we asked the bartender Ricardo "did she put it in?" He goes to Get it still sitting there no water ignored by Aisha. Finally got her attention and ordered but at that time I did not want to be here uncomfortable and ignored. So I canceled the food and I closed out and left. It was truly upsetting. read more

This was a disappointing trip to Cheesecake Factory. Well, this location is usually pretty busy. It seemed like there was very little care during our visit. The food was okay. The beet salad locked the yogurt, honey dressing. And our waitress kinda ignored us after she took our order. Our real issue came when the check arrived. Our rewards were not redeemed, and we had to talk to a manager about adjusting our checks. Well, this issue was resolved by the manager, It was annoying to have to wait for a check to be corrected. read more

The Cheesecake Factory - Steak Frites* ** - Desserts Near Me - Cerritos, California

I'm surprised that this Cheesecake Factory has such low ratings. My daughter and I came to this location for lunch to celebrate her birthday as walk-ins. We were quickly seated and our server Carlos G. promptly showed up to our table and let us know he would be assisting us. Our server made us feel well taken care of by stopping by and checking on us many times. While sitting there we noticed that the restaurant was nice and cool, our table was clean and very well setup. Our bread basket had perfectly baked bread and we got a comedically large portion of butter. Our food was brought to our table immediately after the kitchen brought it out. The food was hot and delicious. Despite us getting lunch pastas they were pretty decent portions. I also thought, for what we ate and the amount, the price was pretty fair. We had great service all around. I couldn't find anything wrong. Maybe we were lucky and got an exceptional server which made this luncheon experience perfect. read more
