Went here for the first time on my birthday night and was pleasantly surprised! I don't know why I just assumed it was a dessert place or only cheesecake, but it was great, aside from the 40 minute wait (though it was very busy)! Their menu is huge, including many vegetarian options, and I decided to get a pasta meal and split the appetizer with my bf, which was delicious! The meal was also super filling and easily enough for 3 portions, so I took a lot of it home. The drinks were VERY expensive, but still tasty. I enjoyed the food and our server, who was super polite and even gave me a complimentary birthday dessert with a lit candle! I didn't really wanna buy a full dessert when I only wanted a few sweet bites. Service was quick and attentive. It made the night more enjoyable and I had a great experience here, though it was a bit costly! The environment was nice too and the lighting was very ambient. Nice place to go to for a special night out once in a while! read more

Very, very loud. As in VERY loud. So loud we could hardly hear each other with both the noise of crashing ice, screaming music, and crying children . We came in at 1 PM on a Thursday and the place was packed, blaring music, no seats except in the bar area. It's been years since we had a piece of cheesecake so we ordered one slice of original to share. It's an excellent cheesecake, super rich, one slice is big enough to share. We loved the cheesecake, it's five stars, but we would not want to come back to this restaurant. read more

The food is plentiful, the wait for a table is insane. It's a huge commercial place. The atmosphere is cookie cutter and there is little ambience. It's good for a stop at the mall. But since I swore off malls years ago it can be intimidating to face the parking lot again. The food was good, the menu huge. We ordered our cheesecake, the real reason for coming here, to go. And all in all the experience wasn't too bad. I wouldn't recommend this as a daily thing but for a mall experience it wasn't bad and if you are retired or just laid back and don't mind the traffic, wait or assembly line atmosphere it's more of a carnival experience than a relaxing one. My review is mixed because I prefer smaller more intimate experiences, nonetheless the experience was better than okay and the food good and plentiful. read more

We frequent Cheesecake Factory and always order the avocado egg rolls which are insanely delicious. We have enjoyed the lettuce wraps, miso salmon, mac n cheese balls, sandwiches, ahi tuna nachos, brunch selections, and of course a variety of cheesecakes. Our favorite are the s'more, lemon raspberry, peach with raspberry drizzle, Oreo, Godiva chocolate and Low- licious sugar free gluten free with strawberries (it's amazing)! Service is generally pretty good. This brightly decorated dining room is bustling - always busy! Suggest making reservation on app read more

The dim-lit ambience and interior detail is a VIBE. Our waitress was really friendly and helpful and made us feel taken care of. The food for me was just okay. The cheeseburger was kinda mid, fries were fine, and I didn't really like the cheesecake, which was disappointing. My boyfriend actually LOVED his meal though. He ordered the chicken tenders with mashed potatoes and corn. read more

We visited The Cheesecake Factory on a Sunday evening. It looked pretty crowded, but we were seated immediately, which was a great start. Ambiance is a Cheesecake factory at the mall. Unfortunately, things got off to a slow beginning. There seemed to be some miscommunication early on, and we waited about 20 minutes before anyone came to take our drink order--only after we flagged someone down. That said, once things got going, the service throughout the rest of the meal was attentive. The included bread seemed dry and sad, definitely didn't make me want to eat it all. We started with the eggroll sampler, which was disappointing (5/10). Everything felt overly greasy and lacked much distinction in flavor. For entrées, I ordered the grilled fish tacos, and they were the low point of the meal (3/10). For around $20, it just didn't deliver. The rice was undercooked and crunchy, the black beans were bland, and the fish had a slightly rubbery texture. The toppings were decent, but not enough to save the dish. We also ordered the vegan Cobb salad, which was solid (8/10). It's a simple dish, but it was done well. The standout item was the cheeseburger French dip (9.5/10). The burger had great flavor, the bun was fresh and soft, and the grilled onions were cooked perfectly, easily the highlight of the meal. During ordering, we asked to substitute regular fries for sweet potato fries, but the dish came out with regular fries. At that point, the entire experience had already taken much longer than expected, so we didn't bother saying anything. When the bill came, we noticed they didn't charge us for the substitution anyway, so it wasn't a big deal. Overall, the meal stretched far longer than it should have. With a total bill of $87 after tax, it's hard to justify the price given the inconsistency. The Cheesecake Factory is known for its massive menu, but it feels like that variety may come at the expense of execution. I would not come back. read more

The waiter I had was rude. Not to mention the food was mediocre. I love cheese cake factory but, the one in Haywood needs to be taken down and replaced with something better. I get it you get paid probably 2.00 to be a server but, you better serve with a better attitude then piss poor attitude because I'll come back and give you some attitude if I ever show my face back in that awful place. I don't know my waitresses name but, she can kick rocks with the attitude she gave me. Manager wasn't helpful. Food awful truly. Don't waste your time or money on this awful place. Ambiance loud and bad. I truly hope y'all's business goes under. No kind words for this place besides replace it. read more

What a nice treat after a shopping extravaganza, and no I'm not talking about the cheesecake! If you've never had the appetizers at Cheesecake Factory I highly suggest you try them. They are the perfect amount and always delish! I had the chicken pot stickers while my mother had the soup and salad. In the past we've had the tropical martinis but this time we had more shopping to do. Our waitress was excellent meeting our every need. I strongly recommend this shopping pit stop! read more

The Cheesecake Factory - Chicken dumplings - Desserts Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

Haywood Mall parking lots are crowded, but we got right in to Cheesecake Factory on a Monday afternoon. Cheesecake Factory always has amazing decor - especially their decorated ceilings. I ordered the Shepherd's Pie, and hubby ordered the Lettuce Wraps. I felt the Shepherd's Pie was not as good as it has been in the past. They have two sizes; I ordered the dinner size, and had a small amount left over. The Lettuce Wraps seemed to be satisfactory for hubby. Our server was very adequate. Everything was taken care of professionally. read more

Took a while for someone to help me with my pickup order. It was ready when I walked in, I just needed someone to give it to me. Brown butter was great, sourdough was hard as a rock.. Kids Alfredo made my stomach hurt all day so will not be ordering it. Used my free birthday reward to get the banana cheesecake and that was pretty good. I'm interested in trying more menu items and it's so expensive! I just can't support that considering this isn't even fine dining. It's a restaurant in a mall, prices need to reflect that. So I probably won't be back. read more

First of all, service was great! Our waiter was very patient and helpful. The food was great and fresh, even their orange juice is squeezed in-house, which is hard to find these days. Of course, the cheesecake is great. The area was very cozy, and overall it was a very nice experience! I would definitely recommend getting a reservation though unless it's not a busy day.

The location is always busy, but for a chain I always enjoy their cheesecake. Granted, I don't typically go to Cheesecake Factory for a meal. You don't go to a baseball game expecting a football game to break out. If you go here for a meal you'll leave disappointed in what you get. Their cheesecakes are good and when we go it's generally just for that. While I prefer local I won't pass up an opportunity presented to me. read more

WORST SERVICE EVER. was told it would be a hour and 15 mins. It is going on 2 hours. plenty of tables have been seated. The hostess gave me plenty of attitude and I was very kind to them. We will never be back!!! Ever again. Ended up waiting two and a half hours. We were told we were the next table multiple times. We even had a member of our party leave. We only stayed because we love the Cheesecake Factory and made the trip. This ruined that for us read more

Came to the mall for a quick stop with a friend, decided to stop by cheesecake Factory when I saw they had Ceviche to eat and restaurant was very clean! From visiting 6 different countries (island side of all of them) and trying my favorite food (Ceviche) in each of them. I can say with honesty this was top TWO best Ceviches I've ever had! With this being a chain restaurant, I simply can only hope they all have this fresh and great tasting "ahi tuna and shrimp ceviche". My respects to Chef and/ cook!! Looking forward to coming back! read more

Absolutely awful experience, I already left a review on google. Not only were we some of the last people to get our food after people beside us got there an HOUR after going in. Our main course had hair in it, the waitress was absolutely horrible at her job. I will never ever go back, the only redeeming quality was the manager who was nice enough to comp our entire meal. The music was extremely loud as well with the lights being super dim. The bathrooms were also disgusting!!!! read more

Stellar experience at The Cheesecake Factory! A little backstory: my husband and I haven't eaten at TCF in almost 10 years. Probably because we went often enough in Florida to scratch the itch. So, the novelty had worn off and there were other places to discover in GVL and burbs. My dad chose this restaurant to belatedly celebrate his birthday with our family. Gotta be honest, I was a little nervous due to the reviews. We came on a Tuesday around 3:30 pm and it wasn't busy at all; we were seated at a booth right away. Our server was a nice, young lady, who was very personable and patient with our party. I wish I remembered her name to give credit due to whom it belongs. She definitely made our dining experience very pleasant. Ordered were Kids Salmon Meal, Kids Fried Chicken Tenders, Turkey Burger with a side salad, Chicken Parmesan Sandwich, Carne Asada Meal, and I had the Smokehouse BBQ burger sans bacon. All items were cooked to satisfaction. For dessert we shared NOT cheesecake (*gasp*, I know), but the Godiva Chocolate Brownie Sundae, which is my husband's and I favorite dessert from them (this time we had to share with our 3 kiddos, so only got a few bites in between us). Honestly though, it's a better value to get this dessert (I think it is the most expensive dessert item on the menu) than getting even two cheesecake slices (yes, they are delicious and have their place in our bellies) at their prices. Overall, a very pleasant experience and hopefully we won't wait another almost 10 years to eat here. Happy yelping! read more

Hadn't been to a Cheesecake factory in 10-ish years but needed a mall stop so decided to try it. Our experience was a 3.5 but closer to a 3 than 4. Pros: Nice service from Max; sitting on patio; tasty sangria and a mimosa-like cocktail (but pricey) Cons: Looong wait for the food; pricey drinks yet no prices on the menu to see that ahead of time; chicken and vegetable soup that was 95% broth with only a few diced onions to count as the vegetables; strange Jicama "Tortilla" Shells on the avocado tacos (super soft and hard to eat) The drinks, warm breadbasket and outside seating helped me rate this a 3. Without them, I'd have to give a 2 considering the prices and time we spent waiting on the food. read more

Been wanting to visit ever since it opened in Greenville and had a chance when taking a friend out for an early dinner before a concert this past Saturday. We planned to meet at 3:45 pm. The parking lot near the mall entrance and The Cheesecake Factory was crazy busy and I wondered whether folks were eating or shopping as it was only mid-April. Good thing I arrived early and after circling several times and feeling as if I was hunting for a space, found a group walking to their car. Mental note: never wait for a group, especially young folks, as they will get into their car and start gabbing or playing on their phones. Although some of the other spots opened up and were pounced upon quickly by other drivers circling, I did finally get this spot. The restaurant was pretty busy even at this odd time of day. Loud from conversations and sounds of silverware against dishes. I provided my name and cell number to receive a text when I would be seated in approximately 20 mins, perfect for our planned meet up time. I sat near the door where others were waiting, and how ideal as, as soon as my friend arrived, I received a text that a table was available. I originally was thinking of having a salad since I recalled the last time I was at The Cheesecake Factory (TCF), it was up north for business and was yummy! However, reading some of the reviews made me concerned about spending that amount of money on salad and it wasn't even organic, plus I needed to have more protein for an upcoming treatment. Diana was our server and she was fantastic. She took our orders and had apologized that she couldn't bring any bread rolls yet as they were being made. But wow, when they came out, fresh and delicious. But our meals came out soon thereafter. I ordered the mushroom burger, medium and the side salad. She had ordered the veggie burger with fries. My taste buds are off so though it was good and I ate the entire burger, I needed something else to add more flavor to aliven the tongue. Maybe sauerkraut or something tart or vinegar based or spicy. So strange. The side salad was actually quite tasty, I even had dunked part of the bread roll into the salad dressing. Diana checked up on us often and filled our glass without any prompting. She had even mentioned that the next shift (evening true dinner time) was coming and the server who we would finish with is wonderful. She mentioned his name a few times (and I still forgot it - Ray? Roy? Even when I asked if she would prefer we close out the bill now so that the tip can go to her, she said no need to as it's all good. She even brought him over and introduced him. And he was good! Though I had asked to keep the menu to look at the desserts as I've always wanted to get a cheesecake from there, I had already stuffed myself to finish the large burger. I did manage to convince my friend to order one to go since I knew she had a cooler in her car from doing some grocery "shopping" at the open farm tour that morning. She ordered the lemon meringue cheesecake (see pix). Our waiter did say that many people come in to order and eat only a cheesecake and coffee. Something that I certainly have to do in the future. Overall, great experience as the service was . . Friendly, efficient and effective, we weren't rushed which meant we got to catch up on our lives. The food was good. The price for the food is probably what's expected nowadays since everything costs a lot but to spend $60 for two burgers and a cheesecake once tax and tip included and she was worth tipping well, only means will be coming for that cake and coffee only in the future. read more

Because who doesn't like to celebrate their birthday at Cheesecake Factory? My mom. Unfortunately her shrimp scampi was not it. While the presentation was nice, the taste was definitely off. Super lemon-y taste rather than a garlic taste to it. The shrimp also had a kick to it. The cheeseburger spring rolls are always a hit. Not pictured: paradise punch (mocktail) was realllly good. For a Friday night, a 20 min wait - we couldn't complain. It wasn't super crowded nor did we feel rushed. Maybe just an off night for the pasta. read more

What an experience. The management was non attentive. My wife's food didn't come with mine. I was finished eating my main protein before our waitress stopped by. After the fact we had to ask for her. Then they produced the food we proceeded to put it in a Togo box. The server then said I will get my manger to remove the meal. Upon returning the server then preceded to tell us that the manger was willing to give us some cheesecake. lol food cost $ .25. Then the manager had the hall to stop by and explain how fortunate we were to get cheesecake when neither of us wanted dessert. I can say one thing this was not a satisfactory experience for this level of restaurant. read more

Typically I just get a cheesecake once a month here and leave. For some reason I wanted to try it. I took one bite of my food, and had to call a manager over. It was disgusting. They would not let me exchange it for anything else. So I spent 50$ on a meal I couldn't eat. I won't be returning. I don't suggest anyone else go either. The whole place is dark so keep that in mind too. If you have visual issues, or migraines. read more

We went for husbands birthday. I was excited. I hadn't been to Cheesecake Factory in several years. We were seated quickly, Tuesday at 3pm. The flatware on the table was dirty. The table itself was sticky covered with cake and melted wax. The menus were sticky, the floor was filthy. Sadly, the whole restaurant had a grimy smell like old dishwater. That being said, I had the honey truffle chicken which was good. The spicy cashew chicken was also good. Pineapple upside down cheesecake is bomb. Too much whipped cream, but delicious. I usually take pics and stuff, but... I hope they take a step back and look at the state of the restaurant, it is filthy y'all. read more

What a fun place! We visited this really cool restaurant after my son's ring ceremony. The menu is unbelievably extensive. If you can't find something to eat here then some something is wrong with you. We started with the warm crab dip (excellent) and the spinach and artichoke dip (also excellent) for our appetizer. Did I forget to mention that they have the most delicious hot bread that they bring you to the table with your drinks? My husband ordered a chicken and shrimp and rice dish. We would probably give it 7/ 10. It tasted a lot like a lean cuisine. My son and nephew both got the chicken and waffles. Both agreed it was delicious! I got the Montecristo sandwich which is on the brunch menu for Saturday and Sunday. It was probably one of the best dishes I have eaten in a very long time! Our server was wonderful and gave us great suggestions to what were her favorite dishes and what seem to be popular among other guests. The restaurant was really pretty and lots of seating even outdoors. The best part of the whole restaurant was the cheesecake bar. They had to have had over 35 different cheesecakes and desserts that you could choose from. Because that's the name of the restaurant. We enjoyed the tiramisu cheesecake. Phenomenal! If you're ever in the Greenville, SC area, stop in at Haywood Mall and visit this restaurant. Bonus: they take reservations, and I highly recommend making them. read more

When you spend $75 for two people and the best part of the meal is the bread and water, something is wrong. First off, there was zero wait which was great. We then sat and it took a bit long to be waited on. Asked for two waters and a mojito. The coconut mojito was suggested. I don't suggest it. There must be some artificial sweetener or stevia or something along those lines. Yuck. The waitress never brought the bread to the table. I checked with Grok to confirm they still do that free bread thing. We had pot stickers for the app. The soy sauce had more flavor than the pot stickers. The runner that brought the pot stickers was kind enough to get us some bread when we asked for some. We had the street tacos. My wife had the shrimp and I had the chicken. Other tables that sat after us were brought bread immediately and their meals soon followed. We sat and waited. Sure enough when my food came out it was cold. We told all of this to the waitress from the bad tasting mojito to the cold tacos. She apologized for the drink. Had I realized it was almost $18 for the drink I think I would have asked them to make a regular one. She asked if I wanted my tacos reheated. I said no. You know and I know you don't send food back to the kitchen. You just don't. I barely ate anything except for the bread. Thank goodness was for free refills on the bread. No offer to remove anything off the bill. No offer of a free piece of cheesecake. Strange. I can guarantee you that the next time I am at the Haywood Mall, instead of the Cheesecake Factory I'll be at Texas de Brazil. It would have cost about the same and I would not have left feeling like I just paid almost $80 and didn't even eat. This is a one star review that even Taji would agree with. read more

I came here for lunch mainly because I found a gift card I had and wanted to use it. They weren't busy but we did come right when they opened. We got sat right away. Our server was very sweet and friendly. We started off with the eggroll sampler. It was super tasty and the sauces that came with it paired well with the egg rolls. We also got fresh bread. Really soft and warm. I got the Louisiana chicken pasta and my husband got the factory burrito. The pasta was good with a generous portion but it was super oily and the sauce was very thin and not as creamy as it has been in the past at different locations. My husband's burrito was huge. I didn't try it but it looked tasty. I got the red velvet cheesecake to go. It was delicious! Pretty good experience but this restaurant is pretty overrated but I do recommend everyone trying it at least one time in their life. read more

The food was good presentation & service could've been better. Good atmosphere but they aren't too clean! They cross contaminate with food & silverware. When I tried to make management aware she got smart mouth instead of listening to our concerns. She said DHEC doesn't require them to wear gloves! And some people don't see it like that. Bus boy cleaned tables & place silver on open tables UNCOVERED/ BARE not WRAPPED & on tables without tablecloth! He never sanitized his hands after wiping off the tables once he cleaned. We watched this & it made me sick to my stomach. We asked for disposable utensils and even they were brought out uncovered, unwrapped, and the server hands without anything covering/protecting it. SMH. Which makes me wonder if they even wear gloves while preparing the food since the heck doesn't require them to do. Even if DHEC doesn't require them to, they should want to have provided clean service & environment to ensure things aren't cross contaminated. They all need to take Food Safety training classes again including the Manager. read more
