    Oreo Dream Extreme Cheesecake

    Got a cheesecake slice to go. Online ordering and pick up process was easy and everything was accurate and delicious! The cheesecake came packaged with all of the extras (Oreo cookie, whipped cream, dusting of crushed Oreos) as well. Staff were also extremely friendly and helpful answering questions. Great experience!

    Fresh Banana Cream Cheesecake

    I've been here a handful of times but the service I had today was top notch. Our waitress Candice was awesome! Our complimentary bread was actually fresh. My go-to when I'm here is the grilled steak medallions. My steak and veggies were cooked and seasoned perfectly and of course, I had to order a banana cheesecake. You can't go wrong with a piece of deliciousness.

    I stopped by The Cheesecake Factory on a random Tuesday, just an hour before happy hour began (which starts at 4 PM). I was treating myself to a slice of cheesecake after craving it for quite some time. A little background: I lived in Charlotte for years and had visited The Cheesecake Factory there multiple times, so this was my first time checking out the Syracuse location. I came in solely for dessert and didn't dine in for a full meal. It had been years since I last visited any Cheesecake Factory, but I remember the slices being bigger and the cheesecake itself having a richer flavor. This time around, the slice felt smaller and creamier--not bad, just not what I was hoping for. I initially ordered a Pineapple Upside Down Cheesecake with Caramel Drizzle (note: there is an additional charge for the caramel drizzle). It arrived looking really cute and well-presented, but unfortunately, it was much more cake than cheesecake. There was only one layer of actual cheesecake, and the rest was mostly cake. The cheesecake itself was very sweet--and I typically love sweet things--but this was a bit much for me. The whipped cream that came with it didn't have any flavor. While the slice was visually appealing, the flavor just didn't hit for me. My waitress was incredibly kind and attentive. She came by to check on me and asked if I was enjoying the cheesecake. When I told her I wasn't, she immediately offered to get me something else instead. I really appreciated how warm and understanding she was--even chatting with me a bit about the happy hour menu. I ended up ordering a classic cheesecake with strawberries, which was better. The whipped cream on this slice had flavor, and the cheesecake itself tasted closer to what I remembered. I'd still rate it a 7 out of 10, mostly because I was hoping for a richer flavor. It was ok, just not as indulgent as I expected. Although I didn't stay for happy hour because I was tired, I did browse the menu--and there were definitely a few things that stood out to me! I'm looking forward to going back another day to try them out and enjoy the full happy hour experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, it was a decent visit with great service the restaurant is clean and the ambience is nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Chicken piccata
    Bosco H.

    Classic cheesecake factory experience. An insanely large menu that I'm sure has something for everyone. There was a wait when we went Saturday night but nothing out of the ordinary. Ordered the Chicken Piccata and it was alright. Good portions and decent enough taste. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service was good and the place has that typical cheescake factory dark ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Wine menu
    Alysha J.

    The appetizer and drink were good. I went straight to the bar because I was tired and hungry. The service was good. Do restaurants not offer water anymore. It was incredibly hot I requested one and received it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was casual and intimate.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Renee's Special
    Sophia G.

    Rating: 4.4 Went to the restaurant to celebrate a graduation during lunch time! I recommend this place as it as they have good service even for a busy lunch rush and delicious food! Free bread: lovely bread to start with! It went great with the soup. They gave us white and the brown bread. The brown bread was so delicious! $17.95 - Renee's Special: (4.4) A lunch menu! The house salad was amazing with their balsamic dressing! It wasn't too strong. The turkey sandwich was good as well! The soup was a Mexican chicken soup with tortilla chips. I enjoyed it, it almost tasted like salsa without the thicker texture. The only problem was that the soup was cold, and I wished it was warmed up more. $12.95 - Strawberry shortcake: (4.5) a nice treat to have once in a while! It's very sweet but not super overwhelming like the cakes. The vanilla ice cream was delicious it's my favorite flavor. The only reason it's a 4.5 is because of the price. I think 13 dollars for it is a bit too high for my opinion. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat on the balcony while people walked around the mall and it had nice lighting and wasn't too loud.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Despite being the bust rush our waitress was nice! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall good place to stop by in the mall to get lunch. It does feel more upscale than the food courts but it's not pretentious. Would go again for a special occasion![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Mushroom Burger
    Jennifer S.

    Mom and I stopped for a quick bite at the Cheesecake Factory yesterday while shopping. She was cold so she ordered a hot cocoa. It was huge and delicious. Made from steamed milk, it was frothy and rich and hit the spot. She ordered the Classic Hamburger and Fries and I ordered the Mushroom Burger and Fries. Both burgers were cooked to perfection, juicy, and delicious. I ordered the mushroom burger without the Fontina and Mayo. It still had mushrooms, caramelized onions, and swiss cheese. The flavors were fantastic. Both burgers were big enough to bring half home for leftovers. Our Server Greg was attentive. We took cheesecake to go. The one thing that is frustrating is that the servers have automatic doors for going out to the patio but there is no automatic door button for the entry. I struggled getting my mom and her wheelchair through. When we were eating I noticed a large group of wheelchair bound people with their aids coming to the door. I ran over to hold it for them.

    Steak Frites* **

    This was only the second time I've ever been to a Cheesecake Factory. We drove an hour to meet a family member there for dinner. It was just before 5:00 and we had a 20 minute wait for a table. We were seated and waited long enough for our server to know what we wanted to eat before they got to the table. Our drinks arrived, no one ordered an alcoholic beverage. The appetizer arrived, no bread was available until 10 minutes after the appetizer. Everyone who was seated around the same time as us got their food. When we got ours one of the chicken Parmesan sandwiches was not hot. The food was decent. My drink (water) was the only one refilled. We ordered a dessert to go, the check was delivered and we waited an hour before our server returned to get it. It was definitely a mediocre experience.

    French Fries**

    the food was amazing! i got a macaroni and cheese burger. saturdays are super busy, the manager came out and apologized for the wait.

A menu full of takes on classic American fare run through a different flavor profile, and it maintains the large and excellent beer selection of this spaces previous tenant. Take their menu, full of fusion into dishes like their garbage plate and flatbreads that feel unique in this area and still fit the expectation of the originals. Then there is the occasional misfire, like the vindaloo cheesesteak that looks like some premade microwaved slices on a bad roll. This has been pretty good, but if you find something like the cheesesteak, try something else. That's the weird part, for a place with excellent service, an amazing selection of beers, and an experience which places it well above other Destiny locations like Bullfinch and other generic options in the new expansion (it should always be a bad sign for a site when Cheesecake Factory is in the short list of better options to eat at like Karma and the wildly overrated Bullfinch); it needs to have a solid menu top to bottom, don't make us find out what things are crap. It's tough enough to handle the noise in there even when it isn't busy. Overall, really good spot, but a few changes to remove the dead matter will make this the only option in Destiny worth anything. ANYTHING. Do not settle, if you want food and/or beer at Destiny, this is the place

They still had Bullfinch's Dancing Lights on tap, which I really enjoyed during the holiday season so I ordered that as well as lemonade and waters. I ordered the nachos and my son had buffalo tandoori chicken tenders. The chicken tenders were the perfect combination of spicy and tangy. The nachos were good heaped with fresh ingredients including pickled onions and avocado ranch, the queso had some type of spice giving it a mustard like taste. I forgot to add the chicken! Service was good but on the slow side. Love the lively electric decor! I attended a Yelp event previously with Syracuse Trivia that was tons of fun! It looks like they have another trivia night that is family feud style, that would be a hoot! Large selection of brews and cocktails!

All the flavors blended well together. My only complaint is that it wasn't hot. You know that fresh, out-of-the-oven warmth you expect from a sandwich? Yeah... didn't have that. I also got fries, which--being honest--I'm not a fan of at Tully's. They felt pretty mid and weren't fresh or hot either. My nephew ordered the Asian tenders (my usual go-to), and those were good--just the regular, dependable flavor. We also got a kid's cheeseburger and fries, which were just okay. (Baby girl only ate her fries) Since it was Thursday and after 8 p.m., we caught Tully's Happy Hour (Monday-Thursday, 8 p.m. to close), where select dishes are $8.99. We tried the crab dip, and it was pretty good--definitely cheesy, almost like Chinese crab rangoons. I couldn't eat much of it because of the cheese, but it's definitely something I'd order again to share, not to eat entirely on my own. Customer service was fine--not bad, not amazing--just okay. The women at the door, though, were fun and energetic, which was a nice touch. I encourage you to try something different when you come to Tullys you just might be surprised like I was

They also sell some very cute greeting cards, earrings, magnets, etc. We ordered two drinks (Ube Espresso, Crème Brûlée latte), a flower pot mini cake (chocolate cake with raspberry filling in a decorative flower pot), a crème brûlée donut, and a spinach puff. The desserts were good, with the flower pot mini cake being our favorite. The chocolate cake was moist and the raspberry filling was balanced. We didn't love the flower frosting on top, but it was very pretty. The donut was very unique and filled to the brim with a fluffy cream - though we both thought it could've had a bit more flavor. The dough was perfect - soft and pillowy. The crème brûlée top made for a fun eating experience as the thin hard sugar had a satisfying crunch. The spinach puff was also delicious. Flaky pastry and cheesy filling - very comforting. The stars of the show were the drinks. The coffee was superb - balanced, smooth, and rich in flavor. While I didn't find the ube flavor to stand out, the ube espresso drink was still one of my favorite coffee drinks I've had. The Crème Brûlée latte was my friend's favorite - it was the perfect dessert drink. It even had the sugar crust on top. I would definitely come back to try more of their menu!
