    The spinach dip was overly oily, which made it hard to enjoy. I got the cajun chicken pasta, but it came with like a chipotle mayo flavored sauce that I didn't care for. The gumbo was good and flavorful! The buffalo chicken blasts were the star dish. Crispy and filled with chicken wing dip inside! The service was not the best this day, but management did offer their apologies and try to rectify the situation with a gift card.

    Chicken burger. Extremely salty fries.

    Awful. Every dish was salty. The fries. The pasta. Everything. . Food was mediocre, overpriced and I was most irritated by the tiniest portion of salmon they gave me when I added it to my Ceasar salad for $9. The entire portion fit on fork. Huge rip off. Felt short changed walking out of that restaurant and we visited for my birthday. Huge disappointment. Nothing was good. If you want a real restaurant where you get value and quality for your money with outstanding service then visit Texas Roadhouse just across the street from Walden galleria (and their salmon was huge and cooked perfectly along with their steaks). I was really pissed leaving Cheesecake Factory with such a bad experience on my birthday and after a 40 min wait. We are also visiting from Toronto and it was just a massive letdown.

    Lemon Meringue Cheesecake

    Second time here, and I usually avoid chain restaurants, but my friend was very confident I'd like it. The ambiance was nice, not too loud. Our waitress was lovely and very helpful, which made the whole experience better. We started with the buffalo blasts, which are basically chicken wing dip wrapped in a fried wonton. They came with hot sauce, blue cheese, and celery on the side. When they hit the table, my friend thought they were chicken tenders because of how perfectly golden they were . Super fresh, crispy on the outside with a tangy filling inside, and piping hot. Not too spicy either, so I did end up using the hot sauce. Great way to start the meal. 8/10 (My friend got the pork belly buns and rated them 7/10.) For our entrée, we both got the Louisiana chicken pasta with extra sauce and with a dash of salt & pepper she really hit the spot. The pasta was perfectly cooked, with mushrooms and tomatoes sautéed down into the sauce. The chicken cutlets on top were also very fresh and super crunchy. I loved the presentation of the sauce on the side, perfect for pouring it right over the pasta. I'll be honest, she did lack a little... je ne sais quoi. Nothing that hot sauce couldn't fix, but still noticeable. The sauce was quite thin/runny, but all in all I was pleasantly surprised by this meal and can't complain. 8.8/10 Now the portions here are pretty large, and as leftovers... she didn't do too well. Extremely oily, I was soaking up oil for a while before I could eat it. Onto dessert, the star of the show: lemon meringue cheesecake. I definitely found my favorite flavor. Perfect balance of creaminess and tartness from the lemon zest. Not too sweet and they torched the top so it had a little char. Super nice touch. 10/10 Overall I'd give this experience an 8.7/10. Definitely better than I expected, and I'd come back... especially for that cheesecake.

    This is what was served

    They have brunch during the weekend and we shared a waffles and strawberries dish. The waffles were very good, so were the strawberries that came with a big dollop of whipped cream. A bit disappointing was the size of it all. For a restaurant that is known for big portions, this dish was not up to par. Just about 5 strawberries.

    Thai Chicken Lettuce wraps (added Sriracha hot sauce from home)
    Rashika H.

    Had the Thai Chicken Lettuce wraps to go. Sooo good. Lasted a couple days and was good enough to share in one sitting with a few people. I LOVE color to my food so this colorful dish hit the spot. So very fresh. So much flavor. Always hits the spot. Highly recommend.

    Six inch plain cheesecake ($30.95 in December 2025).
    Kate M.

    My husband received a $25 gift certificate for here and we decided to use it to get a cheesecake to-go. We had previously had another gift certificate a few years ago and dined in and didn't care much for the food...so we felt like this was a better use. We chose the six inch plain cheesecake for $30.95. It was fine...I think I prefer a firmer, denser cheesecake. The texture of this was more custardy creamy. I also didn't love the addition of the sweet sour cream layer on top. It's just a personal taste thing. I know plenty of folks love their cheesecake.

    The cheesecake... It calls to us

    This Buffalo staple is always well worth the visit, though given it's popularity I'd recommend HIGHLY that you download the cheesecake factory app on your phone and make a reservation or you will be waiting a LONG time to be seated. It is however, well worth the wait. Portions are, as a majority, share size with the pizza options & appetizers (and some others) The food is excellent, the service exceptional and the restaurant itself immaculately clean. There are healthy options, and NOT healthy ones A note to the carb concerned and sugar conciancious diners that are on the fence: YES the menu also accommodating. They have 0 sugar coke, a huge selection of salads & A NO SUGAR ADDED, LOW CARB cheesecake!!!!! Which, is absolutely problematic in how delicious it is. I can't say how often I'm here, but it's enough to clue the reader in that this place is FANTASTIC

    Over priced average food, nice ambiance and long waits especially on the weekend. I know a lot of people that tell me they enjoy going to The Cheesecake Factory but I think it's overrated and I would rather go to a local spot to eat like The Yelling Goat in Lancaster/Depew. I feel like our local spots are more likely to be consistent in food quality and that's what I'm paying for, I like to enjoy my food! Now as for the cheesecake, yes, one hundred percent, go pick out your favorite! Slices are hugs, it's worth every bite and everything I have ever tried has been DELICIOUS! I've had breakfast here a few times and I haven't found anything that wow's me but would order the chicken and waffles again, in addition, something has always been wrong or disappointing with my order. Last time I was here, the waitress was happy to see us, it was a slow morning. I asked for a cup of coffee and was served a lukewarm warm cup of coffee that I absolutely could not drink and I didn't feel bad for sending it back and asking for more but I hate doing that. Immediately makes me worry that the rest of my order will also be neglected in some way. I ordered the breakfast burrito and it was horrible, I had a hard time forcing myself to eat it. Anyway, I understand why most people like coming here, they have a big variety of dishes to choose from, its loud and the lights are dim, good for large groups or a night out with the family or an intimate date night. I recommend calling ahead for a table or checking the wait time and honestly, I hope your experience is better than mine.

    This is a very detailed restaurant with beautiful. The service was good. The food was very good I split the vodka posts and the 5 cheese pasta with my friend and they mixed so well the spicy vodka pasta was great with the creamy cheese pasta. The cheese cake was great the cherry had a fake flavor and I wanted more cheese cake and less normal cake but over all it was great. The bread was great. The bathroom was very clean with a cute little sink. The wait time was not very long. I would recommend.

    First off, I have always been a fan of The Factory. Cheesecake is one of the few desserts that I can never turn down. I usually always get the same thing even though the menu is HUGE. I ordered take out the other night and wanted to treat myself to a nice little dinner since I didn't want to cook. I ended up getting the classic burger and fries. I really love the burgers from here. They have a great size, taste like a real burger should, and don't go overboard on the toppings. The fries here are good too. But it's not called the Burger Factory. The cheesecakes are where it's at. I got the Pineapple Upside Down Cake Cheesecake which was phenomenal. It was very sweet and definitely needed to be split between two people or a break between but it was so delicious not to wait. The big thing here is the pricing. The quality is good but I am also not trying to spend $100 for two quick dinners. That's the only reason I don't eat here very often. It is very tasty but especially with the world now, I couldn't afford to come back too often.

    Great service, experienced server, pleasant hostess! Brunch drinks were delicious. I had some grapefruit elderflower spritzer the other was a tropical mimosa I think. The mimosa came with a crawly visitor in the edible flower so watch that. My chicken waffle plate was lackluster. Cold poached eggs, and lukewarm everything else. Very dissapointing for the price you get the eggs over a half a waffle and over cooked chicken strips and a drizzle of hollandasie. The thai chicken lettuce wraps were good but had the tough chicken issue. A gift card was used and really the only reason we went.

    White chocolate raspberry cheesecake
    Kevin M.

    Had a nice dinner at Cheesecake Factory in the galleria mall. We started with the Thai lettuce wraps and they were delicious! Tasty strips of chicken with carrots, bean sprouts, coconut curry noodles to place onto your lettuce leaves. Served with three sauces... peanut, sweet red chili and tamarind cashew . I had the tomato basil pasta which was very good. Comes with grilled chicken , fresh mozzarella and penne pasta. My wife had the Chicken Madeira which was excellent. The white chocolate raspberry truffle cheesecake was the perfect ending... Service was outstanding! Very attentive and polite! Ambiance is the typical colorful Cheesecake Factory decor.

    Metal wire in food
    Eric B.

    $27 for a tiny plate of steak medallions and potatoes . Steak wasn't cooked how I requested. My wife found a metal wire in her chicken, probably from a grill brush they shouldn't be using. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS they're lucky she didn't swallow it! $7 for a BOTTLE of Mich ultra beer, simply outrageous. Manager comped the chicken meal because of the wire. IMO something else should have also been offered, my wife could've been in the hospital because of that. Service was mediocre by the waitress who was covering our original waitress during her dinner break. We won't be back.

A waitress came over with a menu and took my drink order, an easy order - coffee. They gave me plenty of time to decide what I wanted. When I remember my last visit, the customer service was a little lacking but this time, everyone I interacted was incredibly pleasant and very nice! About 10-15 minutes later, my breakfast was brought over with a variety of syrups. For breakfast I went with an old favorite, "Hill" size (three) Cinnamon Roll Homemade Hot Cakes with whipped cream on top! They were nicely sized and made to perfection. I LOVE these pancakes so much that I scarf them down in what feels like two minutes, so I put A LOT of effort into pacing myself and enjoying, savoring them this time. I've been coming here for eight years now and I will say, the prices have gone up but it's not prohibitive and once in a while, you just have to treat yourself. Buffalo has several great breakfast spots and Campfire Grill is certainly one of them. I can not wait to come back for another plate of hot cakes or their crunchy French toast!

It's got a vibrant rustic-can, loud but comfy feel to it. The place looks cool inside and out, you just know this greasy spoon is going to have good food and it doesn't fail to provide it either! You can order anything and leave happy (from the apple pie to the pig, beef and chicken sandwich). They have booth seating, counter seating for one (or two) and offer outdoor seating with a little picnic table, shaded area and they also accept cash/credit. On the menu, there's pig, beef and chicken items, even a fish fry. They're great for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with or without friends/family. Known for their BBQ, in a variety of flavors, it's simply finger-licking delicious! I like coming here for breakfast mostly, love me some good home fries and a juicy steak.

    This is our second time at an OPH (two different locations) and we have yet to be disappointed…read more Our service was fabulous. She was attentive, friendly, and quick. The atmosphere was very diner like and we enjoyed the good warm coffee while we waited for our delicious meal! So to the food aspect: my partner got the Irish Omelette which had broccoli, corn beef hash, spinach, pepper jack cheese (his choice and we both agree it was a win). The omelette sounded overwhelming to me, but I am thankful my partner ordered it because it was good! He also ordered the English muffin. Which was also AMAZING! Now onto the western omelette, it was also wonderful. Eggs fluffy, a good amount of cheese (I picked cheddar). Everything was perfect. But the star of the show was my side of French toast. They bake the bread there for the French toast. It was cooked to perfection and the perfect amount of sweet. One slice was all I needed (...to break my diet ) but dang was it worth it.

We arrived closer to lunchtime than breakfast, which worked in our favor since there wasn't a wait. We were seated right away, and our server, Angela P., promptly came over for our coffee order. Two coffees later, we were ready to order. My mom, as always, went with her beloved Mushroom Omelet (a bit steep at $15.20 in my opinion), while I ordered a half portion of the Two by Four, which included one egg and two pancakes. It ended up being the perfect amount of food for me. I wasn't thrilled about the $1.60 upcharge for chocolate chips, but the pancakes were fluffy, delicious, and worth the splurge. The restaurant appears to have been remodeled since my last visit and it has a much nicer look and feel than I remembered. My only real complaint is the noise level. Every time I've been here it's been incredibly loud, making conversation a bit difficult and hindering the overall breakfast experience, especially before coffee. Overall, I understand why so many people (including my mom) love this place. The service was friendly, the food was good, and we left satisfied. It's just not my personal favorite breakfast spot in Buffalo, especially considering the prices and noise level. Even so, if you're looking for a reliable breakfast with generous portions, I can see the appeal.
