strawberry-infused margarita
Brina T.

Food and drinks were a mixed bag, but service really dragged the experience down. The strawberry-infused margarita was a highlight -- good and strong, not overly sweet. The ginger sesame chicken from the SkinnyLicious menu was also solid and flavorful. Crab dip was rich and enjoyable, and the grilled branzino was cooked well, though it came with way too many potatoes. Unfortunately, the service was slow and barely there. We had to repeatedly flag down servers and constantly remind our server about items we'd already ordered, which got frustrating and took away from the meal. Cheesecake Factory is usually reliable for variety, but between the wait times and inattentive service, this visit missed the mark.

Salted Caramel Cheesecake

What I love about the cheesecake factory is their portions are huge, all their food is freshly made and there are soo many options and ofcourse their cheesecake selection is incredible and absolutely delicious. You cannot go wrong with the original cheesecake if you are unsure of which one to get. From the brown bread to the mozzarella balls and egg roll appetizers to the Chinese chicken salad to their pastas, chicken dishes, burgers, vegetarian friendly options.... they just have it all. Ambiance is perfect and the staff are friendly. Cant go wrong dining here ever!

Overall excellent customer service and delicious foods on Mother's Day. My family and I were quickly seated ( no wait) and provided excellent customer service by Geneieve and her team. It was also my Daughter's Birthday and she got a free ice cream Sundae.

Pasta Carbonara
Khriselle R.

Came on a Sunday night without reservation, and waitlist was for 15 mins. We got the carbonara, fish and chips, and fried chicken salad. Nothing extraordinary with the taste of the food, but the serving was pretty decent for 1-2 people. I shared the pasta with 2 other friends. Also got the Triple Berry Bliss cheesecake, and it was good, but definitely sweet. The three of us just shared, but were only able to eat a few bites. I really like the ambiance tho. It is very cozy and romantic, and there were a lot of tables/spaces.

The Cheesecake Factory has an amazingly large menu, mostly known for their cheesecakes, but has a little bit of everything to choose from. They have a variety of great cocktails, burgers, salads and even brunch menu items available Saturday and Sunday until 2pm! We thoroughly enjoyed brunch options this time! Cocktails: Georgia Peaches - these are our go to cocktails when we come here! Appetizer: Fried Zucchini - there were a couple people next to us that had ordered these and because they looked so good we had to order! DELICIOUS Brunch: I ordered the Kimchi Fried Rice and my husband ordered the Breakfast Sandwich. Both were absolutely delicious This is a decently sized restaurant attached to Fair Oaks Mall in Fairfax. The service we had was great!

Been here a few times couple years back. Glad to see as always the service is friendly and the atmosphere is the same as I remembered it. The waiter was knowledgable and suggested chicken wraps and the Louisiana pasta, I generally don't like ordering chicken but I tried it out and it was a good experience here. I hope they keep it up, not every day you can get consistent food and great customer service at a chain restaurant that's been around a long time.

Decided to go on New year's eve, we couldn't get a reservation but we only had to wait 15 minutes which was amazing! Our server was so attentive and helpful. The menu has something for everyone. I do like how the lighting is low and we sat in a booth so it was another plus! My family and i had a very good time and everyone was more than satisfied with the food portions. Also, the steak was cooked perfectly. Would definitely come again with Family.

So many options! I love that about CF! On a busy Saturday afternoon, we were able to get seating for two. They're located at the Fair Oaks Mall. There's plenty of parking! They offer weekend brunch, but we were more going for a lunch vibe. I got the Louisiana chicken pasta lunch size and it was still a huge portion and so filling. It had a nice lil kick to it, so if you don't like spicy, don't do it! Service by Ashley was great!

Pickle Fries

Was super excited to try the new menu item pickle fries until I saw and tasted them. They taste as burnt as they look in the photo. A true disappointment.

Cajun Jambalaya Pasta

The place looks cool asf, it's like you're in vegas or something. The food looks better than it tastes, super bland. Service was fine.

Nerissa L.

Cheesecake Factory is always a good time, and this location is great! We had a great server, great good and great ambiance. Located in the Fair Oaks mall, this is a great option especially if you are staying at the Marriott that is nearby!

I always love the ambiance of the Cheesecake Factory. The design is cool and the menu never disappoints variety wise nor quantity wise. However the prices are kind of ridiculous these days. I remember times getting the same dish years ago. Back then I could get the Pasta Carbonara for $16.95 then an extra $3 for chicken. Now it's nearly doubled in price, when inflation has increased but not doubled. It's now $28.95. For the same quality and quantity. I'm still a fan. But the prices are ridiculous. But I suppose not when we still pay it ‍. The same with Disney World. Eventually when they make it $1,000 a day for tickets, it is ridiculous, but if people still pay it, what's the incentive as a business to bring down the price. I get it from a business perspective, but as a consumer . As always, I'm taking home leftovers. So, I suppose I'm getting my moneys worth. Not happy that lunch cost me $90 with the tip. No drinks. Just what you see and one slice of cheesecake to go. Couldn't even finish lunch ‍.

There are many of your GAR favorites but they also offer numerous Italian dishes. We went with the Arancini, Tagliatelle with Meatballs, Lobster & Shrimp Diavolo, and the Chicken Parm. In general, the dishes were all tasty...only complaints were that the pasta is way overcooked and mushy with sauce. Not al dente by any stretch. Made it a bit disappointing. Service was a bit slow in the bar area and the waitress kept forgetting our requests. If you forget and we have to ask you again don't be salty about it... Will probably save our Italian cravings for other Italian restaurants. Not a horrible experience..just not up to the usual GAR standards. 3.5 stars...

Before dining in at Lazy Dog, we had only ever ordered takeout - and every single time, we had to…read moreget the hot honey feta dip because it's genuinely addicting. Finally coming in for lunch did not disappoint. We tried their "3 Bites & Small Plates" deal for $25, and it was absolutely worth it. We went with the feta dip (of course), cheddar cheese curds, and tikka masala meatballs. For a non-Indian restaurant, the tikka masala was surprisingly on point - really flavorful and well-balanced. The cheese curds were super satisfying, especially dipped into the sauces they come with. But the star of the show is still the hot honey feta dip. The bread is lightly charred, giving it a subtle smoky flavor that pairs perfectly with the warm, salty, gooey feta and sweet honey. It's one of those dishes you think about after you leave. For drinks, I had the Wild Blueberry Lemon Drop - very refreshing and definitely on the stronger side (it is a martini, so no complaints). We also tried the watermelon margarita - pro tip: ask for it with tajin, it makes a huge difference. For entrées, we got the lunch grilled cheese and tomato soup, which was exactly what you'd hope for - comforting and classic. We added candied bacon to the grilled cheese and didn't regret it at all. We also had the quarter pound burger, which tasted fresh and really hit the spot. The fries were perfect - crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. And yes - I loved the hot honey feta dip so much that I actually ordered it as my entrée too, no regrets at all. The staff was welcoming and helpful, and the overall vibe inside is very chill and lowkey. We sat outside by the fireplace, and even with the weather warming up, it was surprisingly comfortable with the fans going. Definitely recommend - whether you're dining in or ordering out, you can't go wrong here!

We came on a busy Sunday, but everything moved fairly quickly. As a table, we split the fried calamari and Spanish chorizo mussels. Both of which were solid as appetizers. There was nothing too spectacular about them. As my main, I ordered the crab-stuffed salmon which came with mashed potatoes and sauteed vegetables. The salmon, while the best part of the dish, still left more to be desired. It was a bit dry and I didn't think the sauce was all that flavorful. The vegetables were fine, but the mashed potatoes were simply bad? They had the texture and flavor of instant mashed potatoes, slightly liquidity while being quite bland. I just don't think this place is worth coming back to.
