    Miso salmon
    Jill H.

    We had never eaten at the Cheesecake Factory, and went because someone had given us a gift card. We were impressed by the large and varied menu, which meant we each good get something we really wanted. Since it is a large chain, I appreciated seeing the estimated calorie counts on each dish. We started with the Crispy Brussels Sprouts (not in the photos). While these were good (and we ate all of it), Willow Rock Brewing Co. in Cicero has a much better Brussels Sprouts appetizer. The Miso Salmon was also good, however, there are locally-owned restaurants with better salmon dishes. The Factory Chopped Salad was delicious and a lot of food. (Leftovers became lunch the next day.) I don't think I've had a chopped salad before, so I was surprised at how "chopped" it was! In addition to the food, one of us had a draft beer and the other a mixed drink. For a restaurant that is always busy when we walk by, the wait was relatively short and the service was very good. Finally, we were both surprised at the total cost of our meal. The cost (just under $100) snuck up on us (plus tip). Will we go back? Maybe, but not right away. There are locally-owned restaurants which we prefer.

    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. Overall, it was a decent visit with great service the restaurant is clean and the ambience is nice.

    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. Service was good and the place has that typical cheescake factory dark ambiance.

    Wine menu

    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. The ambiance was casual and intimate.

    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. We sat on the balcony while people walked around the mall and it had nice lighting and wasn't too loud. Despite being the bust rush our waitress was nice! 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!

    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.

    If you're a donut lover, Glazed and Confused is worth the stop…read more We had a great experience here. My fiancé and son were even gifted two donuts by the kind woman behind the counter after my son excitedly shared he'd been helping clean up downtown for Earth Day. Such a thoughtful gesture!!! They loved the cinnamon bun and cereal killer donuts. The shop was clean and very busy, but service was quick and efficient. There are a few seats if you want to eat there, although it's more of a grab and go spot. Parking is street parking and can be tricky at times. They do offer a few gluten-free options, but nothing dairy-free. Overall, great donuts and genuinely kind service--we'd definitely return!

    I'm generally not an "over the top" donut and dessert person, but I do love to check out donut…read moreshops to see if all the hype and "extra" is worth it. Definitely is in this case! The staff was nice and even wrote a nice thank you note on my to go box. Inviting little nook of Syracuse, and happy to have a chance to order a couple of donuts that were all pretty tasty. Only "complaint" was that I seemed to receive the runts of the donuts, but we also did not need three humongous donuts for two people, and ordered very close to closing, so that's on us! And even being smaller donuts, they were not "small" or lacking in flavor, only small compared to some other donuts/flavors still available. Can't wait to come back and try more- surprisingly the buckeye was the favorite despite me not loving an abundance of toppings usually. Not crazy sweet and lots of flavor!
