We visited The Cheesecake Factory on a Saturday night, and as expected, it was pretty busy. Even with a reservation, we still had a bit of a wait, so just keep that in mind if you're planning a weekend visit. Once seated, we started with the complimentary bread--one was like a sourdough baguette and the other a darker pumpernickel-style loaf. Both were fresh and really good, a nice way to kick things off. For my meal, I went with the Bistro Burger. It came topped with provolone, caramelized onions, arugula, and a garlic aïoli on a sub-style bun. I added tomatoes, and it was served with fries. The burger itself was cooked perfectly to medium rare, which I appreciated. Flavor-wise, it was solid--but for $20.95, it felt a little on the smaller side compared to what you'd expect for that price point. My wife ordered the chopped salad, and it was huge. She really enjoyed it and said it was packed with flavor--definitely a better value portion-wise. Service was fine. Our server was clearly busy but did a good job keeping our drinks full and checking in when she could. And yes, we were at Cheesecake Factory and skipped the cheesecake. At $11.95 for a slice (on the low end), it just didn't feel worth the splurge this time. Overall, they have an enormous menu with plenty of options, but prices are definitely on the higher end for what I'd consider a mid-range restaurant. The burger was good, just not something I'd come back specifically for--especially given the price and portion size. Final thought: Good experience overall, but next time I'm craving a burger, I'd probably look elsewhere. read more

Cheesecake factory is a nice place. They have a very large variety of food on their menu, but I have no understanding at all who decided that this was the bread to have here. This bread is hard as heck and it is disgusting. The butter is ridiculously cold and it doesn't even spread. read more

Went to dinner here with two friends to celebrate birthdays. I ordered the Chopped Salad. The base was Julien romaine with chicken, tomatoes, avacado, corn, bacon with blue cheese. I changed to shredded cheddar. The dressing was vinegerette. The salad was very large sbd fresh. It was delicious and I was plenty full. The server was very good and made sure we had everything we needed. The ambiance was a little chaotic. We had a reservation but still waited awhile to be seated. The front area was super crowded and loud. The front hostess desk was a little crazy. Overall we had a good experience. read more

Double check your bill. They charged my credit card more than the price on the bill. We left a cash tip but they still added a tip on the bill.The server was Philip. Take that for what it's worth. The manager said he would adjust the bill but didn't. I submitted a complaint to their corporate office and asked for the credit. But instead of crediting my payment they just sent me a $10 gift card. They probably didn't even investigate to see if there were some shenanigans but just tried to pay me off with a gift card Not a good look for.this business. But the food was good and that's why the 2 stars. read more

Another spectacular visit to The Cheesecake Factory. As always, we had an amazing experience and this time the service was exceptional, our server was kind and patient, some mistakes were made, but the staff was always updating us about the situation and the manager stopped by our table to apologize for the inconvenience, the food was extremely good, the ambiance was comfy during that busy time and though we spent more time there than we planned, we left the place happy and satisfied (that's what she said) read more

Abby was a fantastic server 5 stars very very very very very very very very good and cool

Unfortunately our brunch experience was rather disappointing. It took over 2 hours to get our food and it took nearly 50 minutes just to get our drinks. On top of that, the server brought us pure melted butter in a syrup container, which everyone poured on their meals only to quickly discover the dishes ruined by such an excessive amount of butter. Even the unbuttered food tasted like frozen meals, and was lack luster to say the least. This coupled with the loud, crowded, sticky restaurant with unclean plates and silverware have solidified our unfortunate view of this location. read more

The food is really delicious, I liked their breads. The service is very slow. Ambiance is very nice for a date and regular outing.

Service: I'll say the service depends on the time of day you come, but in fairness it's only ever if they're new and learning or slammed. Usually service is easy and Jordan is a fantastic server and I ask for him regularly. Ambiance/atmosphere: As expected it's nice inside but can be loud and a little crowded. I don't know what Cheesecake Factory isn't to be fair. Food: I stick to my reliables and for that reason I have never ate something I did not enjoy. Chicken Madeira: is delicious with a sweet wine sauce and very well sautéed mushrooms and the mash potatoes are always solid with the juicy chicken. Crispy Chicken Castoletta: My favorite dish on the menu and always an absolute treat to enjoy. Crispy chicken with that delicious lemon butter sauce and it all mixes fantastically with the mash potatoes. Asparagus in both dishes are flavorful and normally well cooked without being too soft. 4 cheese pasta: my girlfriends die hard dish is very good. You can get it with chicken, but I'd say it is better with just the pasta. It all mixes very well and has a nice and delightful taste without being too heavy. Lemon ricotta pancakes: these are some of the best pancakes. They're soft, but also nice a fluffy with a beautiful lemon taste. Carrot cake: I am a huge fan of carrot cake and am always looking for a step up. For someone like me who loves a modern carrot cake with all the twists and lots of pecans/walnuts it hits the spot. Perfectly accompanied by that cream cheese frosting and amazing coconut texture from the flakes. It is the best modern carrot cake. Absolutely incredible. read more

4/5 Stars The Cheesecake Factory at Easton Town Center If you've ever needed a training montage just to read a menu, The Cheesecake Factory is where you'll find it. The menu is practically a novel, but after many visits to this Easton location, I've found consistent favorites that make all those pages worth flipping through. Standout Dishes Cajun Salmon I always order this medium, double seasoned, with extra sauce. The salmon comes out perfectly blackened and tender every time. Sides of mashed potatoes and buttery corn round out the plate nicely without feeling too heavy. Approx. price: $19.95 at lunch, $28.95 at dinner. Portion size is generous--usually enough for leftovers. Louisiana Chicken Pasta Bold, creamy, and allegedly spicy. Highly recommend ordering extra seasoning. You can also customize by adding grilled shrimp, salmon, or chargrilled steak for an extra charge. Great option if you want something filling that still feels a little upscale. Approx. price: $18.50-$25.50. Cucumber Lemonade They offer regular, strawberry, peach, and cucumber lemonade. Cucumber is by far the best in my opinion--lightly sweet, bright, and served with fresh mint actually in the glass. Free refills are a nice touch that not every chain restaurant offers. Caramel Cheesecake with Extra Whipped Cream Rich, smooth, and consistently my favorite dessert here. Even with dozens of cheesecake flavors, I keep coming back to this one. Ambiance & Atmosphere This location is big, busy, and definitely has an energetic atmosphere. Expect some noise, especially on weekends and evenings. Despite the size, tables usually feel comfortable and clean. The décor is that classic semi-upscale Cheesecake Factory look--warm lighting, detailed ceilings, and plenty of booths. If you're looking for an intimate or quiet dinner, it may not be your top choice, but it works well for groups and casual get-togethers. Service Service can be a mixed bag because of how large this location is, but it's usually consistent and friendly. If you want exceptional service, I recommend asking if Lily (sometimes called Ms. Flowers) is working--she's attentive, personable, and always leaves a great impression. Pro Tips for a Better Visit * The lunch menu is the same portion as dinner but at a noticeably lower price. * Portions are huge, so you'll likely leave with leftovers. * The menu variety is overwhelming, so it helps to narrow down a few choices before you arrive. * Customize your meals thoughtfully (extra seasoning and sauce really help), but sometimes simple is best--trying to do too much can lead to disappointment. Who This Location is Best For * Families and big groups who want lots of menu variety * Diners who love generous portions and classic comfort food * Anyone who doesn't mind a lively, busy atmosphere Bottom Line The Cheesecake Factory at Easton Town Center is consistent, reliable, and delivers on big portions, solid flavors, and plenty of options. If you know what to order and keep it simple, you'll almost always have a satisfying meal. read more

We needed a quick, late lunch after taking our kids to Legoland Discovery Center. Our server was excellent and apologized for the lack of coloring or something else to keep our exhausted kids busy while they waited. She brought extra paper napkins and pens for them to draw and we so appreciated that. She was very nice and accommodating overall. The service made our meal. Our food took a while to prepare even though the restaurant was fairly empty. Our food was pretty good. They were out of what my husband wanted, but the alternative meal was good (he had the chicken parm lunch portion, which is still large). My kids loved their meals - chicken tenders and crispy cheese bites. I got the shawarma and it was good, but I think the sauce on it was basically ranch dressing. read more

I thoroughly enjoyed the Factory. I was back in Columbus for visits and haven't been here for a while and was happy to swing by for a to go order. They have a HUGE menu and that's a challenge - finding just the right meal with so many choices. I decided to keep it simple and didn't go far into the menu - opting for bowls. I got the southern fried chicken bowl and the Peruvian bowl. Both were very good. The Peruvian bowl tasted Mediterranean but had delicious grilled chicken atop rice and black beans. It also had sweet plantains. Even better was the fried chicken bowl. Instead of rice, the foundation was mashed potatoes and corn. It also had green beans. I'm not a fan of crunchy green beans so I didn't eat those, but some people like them that way so I won't deduct stars for my personal preference there. The fried chicken balls were amazing! While they were good plain, they provided honey and hot sauce dipping sauces that complimented the chicken quite well. Loved it loved it loved it! read more

Cheesecake Factory is more reliable than any significant other. It always delivers on time, with high quality, and tastes amazing. These pot stickers were great, and waffles to die for. Highly recommended! read more

Haven't been to Cheesecake Factory for like EVER! Well, the reasons why I stop going because their food is not the greatest, and on top of it, their freaking menu is like a book, I mean I understand they want to offer everything, Italian, Fried, Americans, Asian, but damn...I'm here to eat, offer me some good cheesecake, I'm good, I don't need to read no book here. lol Well, like I said, haven't been here for like ever, so this time I went there because friend suggested, their menu is a little better, not a book anymore, but is a good option. I ordered the house salad, which is like $12 and change, is a SALAD people! C'mon, is like a tree outside, slow down on the pricing. Main course I ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo, and added chicken. The portion is small, and the chicken, I don't know man...I think the chicken is on diet, I hardly see any in there When I ordered, I was afraid I might not able to finish everything, but i finished everything, friend of mine ordered the avocado egg roll, I finished that too. The Fettuccine Alfredo is not good, super dried. Now I remember why I stop going there. Overall, I give it 3 stars, the server was nice, but our main course came out before the salad and appetizer‍ read more

I tried the peach lemonade and it was fantastic. I was a bit shocked by the price. $6.50 for a lemonade. I ordered a Parmesan crusted chicken at the servers recommendation. It was soggy. Not cooked crispy at all. The asparagus was stringy and touch. And the mashed potatoes were barely warm. Very disappointing. Actually the other guest at my table ordered the same meal and there was a visible difference in the finished product. The food took a very long time to arrive. As always the bread was hot and delicious. read more

The Cheesecake Factory and Easton definitely still stays busy. We were there on a Saturday afternoon and it was very full which made the service a little slow. We chose to order from the Skinny (lower calorie) menu. The shrimp tacos were nothing special - the tortillas were extra chewy and the shrimp were not very well seasoned, but the sauces and veggies were fresh and good. The dressing on the salad was a sweet and spicy dressing that was good. The beef "medallions" were somewhat laughable because in reality they are 4 bites of beef - definitely not medallions. While the overall dish with asparagus and mashed potatoes was tasty, the portion is so small I'm not sure it is worth them putting this on the skinny menu. It was definitely not worth the over $20 price tag. The bread that is served with dinner is very tasty. We took two pieces of cheesecake home for dessert - Godiva chocolate and Cinnabon cinnamon roll. Both were excellent - which this restaurant lives up to its name by consistently having good cheesecake. The restaurant is still clean and good for large parties. It has a large menu with lots of options but overall we've found the food to be just OK. Highly recommend for dessert. I would not recommend ordering off the skinny menu - just know if you eat here you are going to eat a lot of calories. read more

If you're a Columbus local, go on a weeknight, the weekends are so busy. We went and had a wonderful server Abby (Abena W), she was so great I can not say anything bad about my experience there because of her. I am gluten free and have been to CF before. The pasta and burgers are great there but I was inquiring about some other options and she went back to the kitchen and was about to work around my allergy to get me something else, while I wasn't about to make the kitchen deal with that, it was truly the effort that counted for me. I was so impressed with her dedication to our experience there. Because we went on a Thursday, we had a quiet evening at the restaurant without a long wait. Had a great time thanks to Ms. Abby! read more

Very horrible food that was delivered to me. The orange chicken that I ordered is distasteful. There was more rice than chicken. It was not worth $50 read more

Went in around 1pm & We were seated fairly quick (party of 7) and our server was quick to help us with our drinks. But the 2 stars is for the hard stale bread we were served, our server then did not get back to us for another 30mins to take our food orders, and another 40 mins til we received our food. Then another server had the audacity to ask us to move in the middle of eating to seat another party (even though there was plenty of open seatings around us). Overall it ruined the whole mood & we ended up taking the rest of our food home. read more

The managers made it right. My only draw back that needs the front host area needs alot of work with organization and being polite.

Service was slow and our server acted irritated to be working. The egg roll sampler was good especially the avocado roll. At 2pm I attempted to order the meatloaf and was told they were already out. Switched to the spicy rigatoni pasta and it was mediocre. The Georgia Peach drink was a definite 5. The restrooms were foul with trash overflowing the can into the floor all over the place. The kitchen was slamming dishes so violently even the manager asked if they could get any louder. We were in the both by the kitchen so it sounded like frequent bombs going off in my ear. Definitely a terrible experience read more

The Cheesecake Factory is known for its unique and eclectic decor, often described as a "postmodern design hellscape"-ai. Well, if this is hell, call me a regular then.

We've been to this Cheesecake Factory several times over the years and I think of it as a fun place with pretty good food. Our visit this time was a real mixed bag. Everything from the wait to be seated to the wait for bread to the wait for our food was excessive. The wait staff, when we finally were seated were very pleasant and hard working; our time there ran over shift change so we had two servers. We had to wait for bread, since it was still in the oven, but the wait finally ended with a basket of nearly rock hard white loaves; no dark bread was available. There was another long wait for our meals, which were good to mediocre. By the time we finished we just wanted to get out, so we passed on any cheesecake. We usually have at least one piece to share, so a sale was lost. The restaurant was very busy on a Saturday afternoon and we are understanding folks, but this visit strained our considerable patience. We won't hurry back. read more

Cheesecake Factory is always a good idea. My favorite thing to order is the Chicken Caesar salad. It's one of the best I've ever had. I went last night and This time, it felt like it had way less croutons and chicken than usual. Steak Diane - was not great. Would not order again. It just wasn't delicious or anything special. My friends said they thought the meat was a little tough? Did not love the sauce it was in. Pineapple Moscow mule - decent. Very strong ginger taste. But I guess it's a Mule, so yeah. Fries - always a delight. They give a lot for a side dish too. Warm apple crisp - didn't love. It's basically just warm apple pie filling with some granola sprinkled on top. Would be way better in a tart or some sort of pastry read more

Hair found in cheesecake, male waiter uncomfortably flirting with male customer. While visiting with family, I could not help but notice the male waiter was actively flirting me. I am a man, and a very straight male at that. I was sat with my mother, sister and girlfriend. Along with the uncomfortable nature of the interaction, the waiter did not write anything down and did manage to mess up our cheesecake order. After getting our cheesecake to go, I checked on the dessert on the way home and found an 8 inch hair within the cheesecake and pulled it out. You can actually see the line that the hair cut in the cheesecake. See for yourself, Pictures attached. read more

We were really looking forward to dining here, but unfortunately, the experience was very dissapointing. We waited over an hour for our food, and when it finally started to arrive, it came out at different times. Some of us had finished eating before others even received their meals. To make matters worse, the quality of the food was poor for the price point. crusted chicken, that was soggy, bland green beans, and potatoes that were clumped together like they were frozen. Charging $200 (after tip) for this food/service is a travesty. Unfortunately, we won't be returning, and I wouldn't recommend this restaurant based on our experience. read more

My recent experience which was not at Easton but at another cheesecake factory location, I'm a GF vegan. I don't recommend their new veggie burger, I don't like a lot of spice, and it was spicy. I really wish they still had the impossible burger where I could guarantee it was at least both gluten free and vegan. When I looked I didn't see the impossible anywhere:( the new veggie patty was too spicy for me and I feel like it could have tasted better. It was also a wee bit too crumbly however I'm not complaining about the texture. It's the taste of the impossible that I miss and I don't recommend getting their new veggie burger UNLESS you like spice to your veggie pattie! I also got it without the bun as well and without the cheese read more

A true American experience! Marble interior with soaring ceilings for white families in jeans. At the stand, my non-white name was aggressed by the host (who admittedly could probably just have been very tired and fed up since we seemed to have arrived during peak hours). All the waitstaff in general seemed very harried tbh :/ Can barely blame them since the clientele seems awful (middle class Karens with their families) and the din in the restaurant was terrible. In terms of food, the Chicken Piccata was actually quite refreshing and light, but the Chicken Bellagio was extremely oily and cheesy. They also forgot the arugula that's supposed to go on the Bellagio. read more

I normally am not a fan of chain restaurants but this was good. It's a little on the pricy side but the portions are huge so it makes up for it. The service was great, which surprised me as they were slammed. It was definitely giving a perfect date night vibe. I had the gumbo- which was amazing! And I ordered 2 slices of cheesecake to go because it seemed weird going to a cheesecake place and not getting cheesecake. The key lime cheesecake was fantastic! It was on the dense side but the lime made it perfect. I also tried the mango lime cheesecake and also loved it. read more
