    Happy hour burger
    Jan J.

    So my last few times here I was very disappointed in service, cleanliness of bathrooms and food. Came in for happy hour on a Friday night. My go to on the happy hour menu is the burger which is great value at around $10- sat down right away and after 20-25 minutes after ordering our server apologized because my burger was late. My wife's dish was ready so we asked that it be served and I would wait. A few minutes later the manager came by to apologize also and asked if I wanted a soup or salad while I waited at no cost. I said I would wait and my burger was out 1 minute later. It was so much bigger and better than before. Manager wanted us to have dessert on him due to the delay. We took it to go but was very impressed how they communicated, food quality, provided great customer service and the free dessert was just a bonus. Best experience ever at this location.

    Cobb Salad**
    Luis D.

    I have been to this location many times and this is just a food review via delivery app. The online menu has linch versions so we split the Cobb Salad and the Chicken Parmesan Sandwich. Even though this was a delivery order they still include the two kinds of bread and butter. The chicken parmesan sandwich was good, chicken was still crisp, lots of cheese and a type of focaccia like bread and comes with fries. The Cobb salad was also very good, generous portion enough for two. Overall, the food traveled well and was packaged nicely. Still a class operation, to paraphrase The Boys, "this aint Arby's, we're the Cheesecake Factory."

    Service was great. We came just before it started getting crowded for lunch on a Tuesday. Our server was very nice. They have a huge menu, a lot of choices but salad was my only option as a temporary diabetic, also steaks but with modifications. I had the chicken cobb salad and it was really good, not the traditional ranch dressing but with a delicious vinaigrette. My husband had the three green chicken enchiladas with rice and black beans which was just ok according to him. The ambience is always nice and nicely decorated inside. The cheesecake displays are so tempting, they all look delicious!

    Was a busy Sunday afternoon when we decided to come here. We didn't have reservations so we were told we could sit by the bar area ! Well aside the counter bar seating, there were 2 round counter high tables with high chairs and we combined them to fit our group!! Our wonderful server took down our beverage and cheesecake orders! We had more than enough cheesecake slices that went around for everyone to taste: Mango Key Lime Godiva Chocolate Adam's Peanut Butter Cup Salted Caramel Everyone were all sugar high for sure !! Will have to try other flavors next visit! We just wanted to have a taste of the cheesecake !!!

    What can I say, I had to take my son to the cheesecake factory after he's been begging me to take him to Pasadena to visit where the "Big Bang Theory" took place. Although it was filmed in Burbank, California, we still had to go. Even though we did not see Penny or Bernadette, it was cool to see my son light up when he spotted the cheesecake factory. The greeter was very nice and gave us a table over by the front glass, and our waitress took our order very quickly, and we had both of our cheesecakes within a matter of minutes. Both were very good! My son got the Oreo cheesecake and I got the banana cream. Although prices were a little too high for the cheesecakes, I will still do it again. The ambience was nice, and my only critique was to have the AC on a little more since the sun was shining through the glass, and it was kind of warm where we sat.

    Peruvian bowl

    Busy spot, so make a reservation!! The bread kept us satisfied until the food came out, maybe 20 minutes later. Peruvian bowl was filling, chicken was a little hard but rice and everything else was good. Cajun jambalaya had much softer chicken but for the noodles plain, no flavor. Chocolate mousse cake was very chocolaty and rich

    Food was bland tasteless, bland, and pricey. Service was ok. I would not recommend going to this branch. I've gone to other branches and the food was a lot better tasting than what we ate here.

    Chicken Piccata
    Haleh M.

    This location let me down. Came on a Wednesday afternoon around 3:30 and waited about 20 minutes to be seated. It wasn't crowded but they had blocked part of the restaurant so only certain areas can be serviced. I think they were short staffed because from the time of our order to receiving drinks, bread, and the food was a long period of time between each part of the meal. Getting refills took forever, getting extra sauces, asking for boxes at the end, the check... the service was so slow that it wasn't an enjoyable experience.

    Lisa P.

    I got the chicken picotta which was so good and delicious. The dish was so refreshing and full of flavor. They were quick to bring out the food and we were quick to be seated. The bread and butter was a great starter. Inside is dim and cute and a great way to catch up.

    Of all the times being in Old Town Pasadena, this was my very first time at this location. I've been to loads elsewhere as it's a major chain. Sunday afternoon, it obviously was busy. The restaurant isn't that big compared to other locations. There were a good amount of people waiting outside as well as inside. We walked in to see how long the wait was for two which was about 20 minutes. Instead we asked if it was open seating at the bar which it was. Bar area isn't that big. You have the counter with about 8 to 10 seats. Then 3 hi-top tables and 3 tables along the wall. Not sure if that's part of the bar area as we kept seeing people being seated by the waiters. There was a hi top available but it needed cleaning up. It took a couple of minutes for someone to come clean. Well, I'll just get to it. Service was so slow. After sitting down, we didn't know who the waiter was as we were trying to get a menu and some water. It took some time till some came over to talk to us. The guy was sweet though. After ordering, the bread came out. If you know Cheesecake Factory, you know the bread. Of course their menu which basically is a book...lol... There's pretty much so many items on there. But I did notice that some things have been taken out. I don't know if it's seasonal or they replaced it with something else. Oh well. We ended up going with the Cajun jambalaya pasta. That was with fettuccine, bell peppers, onions, shrimp and tomatoes in VERY spicy sauce as noted. Well, let's say it wasn't all it's cracked up to be. There was barely any sauce and it was pretty bland. It's only a full portion available which seemed more like a half portion. It was whatever. It sounded good but in reality, it was a miss. Second pasta dish was the chicken Parmesan pizza style. You have the chopped chicken breast which was VERY thin. I don't even know if it was chicken as it looked a bit odd when you take the sauce and cheese off of it. It's layered as that would be the crust of the pizza and on top was the pasta. Angel hair pasta in Alfredo sauce. I don't know what's up with both dish but there was barely any sauce on this as well. You couldn't taste the sauce instead it was more like buttered pasta. Even with loads of Parmesan. Both dish was skimpy on sauce. Chicken didn't seemed like chicken whatsoever. Between the two, I don't know which was better. Overall, I do like Cheesecake Factory. But this location, service was very slow. Seated in the bar area which was pretty small and it was still slow. The waiter was nice though. But the meal was whatever.

    steak diane, mashed potatoes, & shrimp
    Sharon K.

    I came here with a large group and they were able to accommodate our request, which was great. The service was attentive and helpful. I ordered the steak Diane medium rare but it came out fully cooked and dry. Definitely used to taste better. It used to come with asparagus! But now the plate looks even smaller than it use to be. Since it's old town, there isn't free parking. Either parking at the structure or meter parking.

    Sandy P.

    Typical cheesecake experience - complimentary bread and their pastas are good. I typically order their pasta de vinci and it's delicious everytime. Mushroom forward and a bit on the sweeter side when it comes to pasta dishes.

    Quesadilla
    Justin A.

    After shopping around old town for a bit we decided to stop and get lunch at this location. We ordered meat ball sliders, a chicken quesadilla, and a burger. Everything was shockingly good. Not one miss. It's been awhile since I've eaten here, but it seems like Cheesecake Factory is getting better with age. The service was exceptional as well!

    Love their bread (great with butter); yum!

    Ask the Community - The Cheesecake Factory

    What's the parking situation?

    We usually park in the parking lot between Fair Oaks and Raymond. It wasn't bad, we stayed there long enough for dinner and I believe we paid $1.50 on a Friday night.

    Are there any vegan options?

    Your best bet is to check their online menu.

    Do you have option of olive oil with herbs with the complimentary bread?

    I've only ever been given butter, but perhaps if you ask they may provide that to you. Hope that helps.

    Does this location have outdoor dining?

    Yes, most of their tables are for party of two.

    Is there a different menu during COVID?

    No, same menu and daily specials

    I called spoke with Ce Ce at the Cheesecake Factory she said she was not able to reserve a table for 8 , that don't make reservations I have to go yelp 6? I need a reservation for 8 tonight Jan 18 2020 @ 6:30 pm at the location in Pasadena..?

    Yes, I had the same issue. I think they only do reservations for over 6 people online.

    Do they take reservations for a party of 11?

    Yes

    Is the restaurant open on Thanksgiving?

    Sorry for the late reply, it is closed. A few that are open during all occasions are, Marie Calendars, IHOP, Denny's, Applebee's, Buca Di Beppo, Boston Market.

    How is the lunch crowd during the week?

We pretty much all ordered the Bistro Plate, and all loved it! All the meats were cooked perfectly, and the soup was amazing! That nights soup special was the ginger carrot. It was so well balanced, smooth, full flavored and all around perfect. My friend and I, also ordered a side of mashed potato, and again amazing and worth it. The whole meal was the perfect portion. No leftovers, and certainly not hungry for the rest of the night! Our server was on point, attentive professional. The ambiance was warm and welcoming. The meal from start to finish was just as expected for a fine dining experience. 5 star all the way. A must. Chef's kiss. I will 100% be back.

    I've heard some good things about this place and from other fellow yelpers friends, it must be…read moreworth it. Had a dinner reservation with some girlfriends celebrating two of their birthdays. The restaurant itself isn't too big but it does a pack a nice punch. Cute patio out front that takes some of the sidewalks and streets. Plenty of heat lamps which helped with the chilly nights. We got seated at one of the tables on the patios which was nice. Didn't really utilize inside area except for the restroom which it's quite cute in there. The rooms were pretty well decorated and executed. Nice bar area too. Like mentioned, we got seated on the patio and the heat lamps were great. Down to the menus, it's quite limited on dishes. Seemed like there were more shared plates versus the entrees. Drinks, it was fairly decent with their cocktails and wine. Service at the beginning was great. The staff were amazing and very friendly. We didn't order right away as we were still waiting for the last one to show. But did start off with some drinks. It didn't take that long for the first round which was nice. Food wise, the shared plate was a mixture of everything. Some of the olives, which is exactly what it is. The Belgian fries, nice thick cut fries with shredded pecorino cheese and a nice aioli sauce. We ended up getting a second order of it. The albacore tuna crudo was a hit which was really tasty. Chili ginger relish, mint and shallot, can't go wrong with that. Lastly the meatballs, tasty and very great for sharing. Entrees, the pan seared sea bass which I loved. Portion is pretty tiny which also seemed like they were a shared plate. Almost tapas styled. Nice chimichurri sauce and a side salad. The chicken Milanese also with a side salad of arugula. Simple dish but quite tasty. One of the salads that was somewhat hyped up by the waitress but it was just a salad. Decent but nothing major to rave about...lol... also the confit oyster mushrooms was major hit. Something that simple but quite tasty. And lastly the pan con tomate, rustic sourdough with tomatoes and burrata. Tasty as well. Overall the meal was good. From there, the second round of drinks did take a long time to arrive and with then plates that we shared, trying to get someone to clear the plates was another thing. Took a long for someone to clear the table before more items came. Even when the entrees came, all the empty starter plates were still there. And if someone did clear the plates, some was still left on the table. Finishing off the night, we did have the dessert which we tried all three. As it was two of our girlfriends birthday, they brought out a little bubbly for us to celebrate with the dessert. That was quite sweet and nice. Honestly opinion with the dessert, they were just ok. Nothing major to rave about. We tried all three on the menu and they were just ok. Overall, the food was great. Service was nice and the staffs were all very friendly. It did take a while for plates to get cleared from the table and second round did take a while, but it was manageable. It was a sweet gesture with the bubbly with the dessert which was greatly appreciated. The place is nice and great for catching up. Menu is limited and portions are quite small. You would have to get a good amount for sharing. Entrees, depending on what you order is small as well. But we enjoyed ourself.

The front hostess was also phenomenal, I had reservation for outdoor seating but since she saw that the sun was like glaring, she asked if I wanted to change to inside. Very obliging and accommodating. Food: 5 stars, surprisingly good, right amount for us. I was full but I can see where other reviewers say portions are small. It's small if u're a heavy eater. But the quality is definitely there. Ambiance: trendy, high energy, casual vibes where u can lounge and have a beer while munching on fries...or u can choose to be poshy and have a glass of wine with a salad and Chilean sea bass. It's flexible to accommodate both as there are different sections. Parking: street metered 1 hour parking. 3 stars, not their fault but 1 hour is simply not enough. It can get super busy and the server can be pulled left and right, so cut them some slack during super busy hours. Will definitely be back. Highly recommended .

The ambiance is actually great. It has a quirky, old-style pub feel with some interesting artwork on the walls. The service, however, moved at a very slow pace. If you're looking to nurse a pint and contemplate life, it's perfect. If you're actually hungry, you might start eyeing the table decor. ​We sat down for an early dinner and the food was a mixed bag.

It's a neat little spot to grab a drink and soak in the atmosphere, and watch some sports on their TVs. As far as dinner goes, it's a one-and-done adventure for us.
