    Big menu, great desserts, The Cheesecake Factory doesn't leave you bereft of choices to pick from. Many steak, chicken, burgers, apps to choose from. And what they're fortay is, a huge list of cheesecakes to puck from, as well as ice cream treats, and milkshakes. This night, I had the Beef Shepard's Pie. Ground beef, peas, zucchini, carrots, and onions, in a mushroom gravy, covered with a mashed potato, Parmesan crust. Absolutely delicious, beef was plentiful, a very flavorful gravy, and the mashed potato, Parmesan covering was delicious. For dessert, the Strawberry Shortcake. Three shortcakes, with vanilla ice cream in the middle, covered by strawberries, and a strawberry sauce, absolutely yummy!!

    We've been to several locations of this restaurant chain. We've always had a good experience. The food might not be super original, but it's quite edible. The service in this chain was very good. We wanted to order a salad in addition to the main course, but the waiter warned us that the portions were quite large, but if it wasn't enough, we could always order more. Of course, we also ordered a cheesecake (tiramisu cheesecake), one to share between the two of us.

    I thought I was here before , I guess not??? I never really liked the Cheesecake Factory. I find the chain is nothing great. I was there with a group, my wife and daughter and a few friends. 7 total. First off the menu is too big there is literally too many things not he menu and too many specialties as they say. There is no way that a restaurant can say they specialize in so many dishes???????? I was going to get a hamburgers that is generally a safe bet. At the last minute I decided to go with the shepards pie. The food was terrible, definitely the worst shepards pie I have ever had in my life. I ate about half mostly the mash potatoes and then asked the waiter to wrap it to go, Not sure what I was thinking as why was I taking home something so bad. I ended up tossing it in the garbage outside the restaurant. I do not think I would ever go there again. I do have have to say that the service was excellent.

    Grilled fish tacos

    We ate a late lunch at one of the high top self-seat bar tables and had the most wonderful server, Mike. He was so attentive and nice. The grilled fish tacos were okay, nothing great, and the rice and beans were pretty bland - seriously white rice without any seasoning at all. We had a side of sweet potato fries that tasted good and came with a chipotle dipping sauce that was a little spicy and tasty. They also came with ... wait for it ... ketchup??? So bizarre. I mean, I know Pittsburgh is a Heinz Ketchup town but on sweet potato fries?! Our server Mike and his big beard gets their own star added to this three star meal. He's a gem!

    My mother, sister and I went before doing some shopping on New Year's Day. It was about 2:30pm. We were greeted and seated within 5-6 minutes. Our server Ali approached our table quickly and was very knowledgeable about the specials. We all ordered Caesar side salads no which were a perfect start. I also ordered the Strawberry Spritz. It wasn't my favorite but I got through it just fine. It was a steady pace of guest coming and Ali handled all of his tables efficiently. Mt sister ordered the Truffle honey chicken. Ali brought out a taste of the sauce to make sure she would enjoy it before ordering. He was right! It wasn't her favorite so she choose to order the Fish and Chips instead which is cooked with Mahi Mahi. She enjoyed her meal. My mother ordered the Chicken Madeira which she throughly enjoyed and was enough for leftovers. I order the Grilled Steak Tacos. The tacos were really good. Loved every bit of them. It was served with white rice and black beans. They were just ok, my beans came out cold and the rice was tasteless. Ali did quickly get me a new side of beans. For dessert I opted for Linda's Chocolate Cake. Sooo soo good!! Overall we had a great lunch here. For d

    This was my first visit to Pittsburgh in nearly 15 years. I lived there for 5 years. I was a huge Cheesecake Factory back then. Unfortunately, there isn't any in West Virginia. I made it a point to stop by during my visit. It was just as delicious as I remembered. Service was great. My waiter was Michael. He was very prompt, knowledgeable, and friendly. There should be a Michael at every restaurant! The food was delicious. It came out fresh and tasteful. I left full and a smile on my face.

    Warm Crab Dip

    Went around 6/6:30ish and we were seated in 5 mins, this is honestly the shortest amount of time we have ever had to wait. Our waitress was phenomenal. She was very attentive and personable. We tried the ahi poke nachos and they were delicious. So glad we went out of our comfort zone with it. As an entree I got the warm crab dip and I absolutely licked my plate clean. The ratio between bread and dip was great.

    On a rainy Sunday we spent 30 minutes debating where to eat lunch. Finally we picked the Cheesecake Factory. Haven't been here in a few years. We knew it would be a long wait, there never isn't a long wait, but you go expecting it. I think we ended up waiting only about a half hour as we were able to snag a high top at the bar before we were ever called to be seated. Our server was decent. The menu is the typical lengthy menu. Despite all the items on the menu, I ended up ordering the same thing I always do , the club sandwich. My wife got the Louisiana Chicken pasta lunch sized portion. My club was the typical club sandwich, can't really screw that up. My wife liked her pasta and had so much she brought a large portion home. We always like their brown bread in the bread basket. The sourdough however was so tough you could barely bite through it. I was however surprised what the club sandwich price had gone to. We both left satisfied.

Trivia and live music are sometimes available for entertainment. In the past few years, my husband and I have eaten at Wheelfish a few times. For our meals, the hostess and waitress promptly and politely served us. Here are my reviews for the foods: Pretzel bites - 4.5 stars - This appetizer was a large size. We really liked the flavor of the pretzels and the honey-mustard dip. We thought that the cheese dip was OK. Pulled-pork nachos - 5 stars - This appetizer of nachos was huge! Many tortilla chips were topped with gooey cheese, pulled pork, jalapeños, sour cream, and pico de gallo. Fried deviled eggs - 4 stars - The egg white was breaded and fried. It contained a yolk filling and was topped with a spicy jalapeño. We prefer traditional deviled eggs, but these ones tasted good. Mix-and-match soft tacos - 4.5 stars - The pulled-pork taco contained pulled pork and vegetable toppings that were very flavorful. For the brisket taco, I enjoyed the flavor of the brisket and toppings, but the juices made the tortilla soggy and caused it to fall apart. Shrimp tacos - 4.5 stars - These were on sale on a Thursday. The shrimp were breaded, and the toppings of napa slaw, mango salsa, and chipotle aioli tasted very good. Meat entrees - 4.5 stars - My husband liked the smoked chicken the most (5 stars), and he described it as being "delicious." We also ate ribs (4.5 stars), kielbasa (4 stars), brisket (5 stars), salmon (4 stars, needs more seasoning), and pulled pork (4.5 stars). Macaroni and cheese - 5 stars - My husband said that this macaroni was the cheesiest thing that he has ever eaten. He described it as "delicious." I ate some of the macaroni, and I agree that it was extremely cheesy. French fries - 5 stars - These fries were perfectly crispy and salty. Grilled vegetables - 4.5 stars - I wanted to make my meals more nutritious, so I chose a side of grilled vegetables, which are seasonal and included peppers, corn, squash, and zucchini. This mix of veggies had a very good flavor. Side salad - 4 stars - This salad contained a lettuce mix, some tomatoes, some pickled onions, and my choice of dressing. It was fresh but was slightly plain. Pork 'n beans - 3 stars - My husband ordered this side. He ate only a small amount of the beans and sauce, and he thought that they tasted just OK. For drinks, we had iced tea, diet Pepsi, and water. The waitresses brought refills.

It took them over a year to renovate it and they still aren't done in the back and the parking lot is a little rutted but the inside is very nicely done. There is a huge bar and some high and low tables scattered throughout. The clientele is mostly locals and lot of laborers grabbing a drink and a bite to eat after working hard all day which was great to see. It's super casual and very open inside. We had a few beers and the bartender was good. She was attentive and was waiting on 20 folks at the bar as well as table drinks. The manager was able to help serve some food to help her out but never once asked us how everything was. That was a little bit of a missed opportunity in my opinion for a new business. We ordered a breakfast burger that came with some hashbrowns on the side. I assumed, which is my fault totally, that the burger would come with lettuce, tomato, etc. but it truly was JUST a burger, egg, and cheese and absolutely no other toppings. That was disappointing and I really wish the bartender would have asked if I wanted anything on it. I ended up using ketchup for moisture since she was so busy and I was hungry. :) The hashbrowns were frozen and fried so they were nothing special. I think this place has tremendous potential. We'll be back to try something else. It seems busy so that's a good sign.

This is unlike another place down the road (RI) from them that wouldn't adjust items on a sandwich for me last week. The waiter/bartender was super chill too, easy to talk to and basically good at his job. Our refills came quickly and without asking. He followed up to see what we wanted a couple times and the food arrived in a reasonable time (not much waiting at all). This was so very different from that same day where at our usually spot (another old bar/restaurant further down the road, "SJ") we had to walk out just after ordering lunch due to getting attitude from a mouthy waitress. Glad we decided to try this new spot! Great job! I think we found our new local "go to" bar/restaurant. Looking forward to it and to soon trying breakfast there on weekends too. A must try f you haven't been there yet.
