Mona DAugust 21, 2016Extremely delicious cheesecakes. The only problem is, it's hard to choose among so many choices. Very kind staff. I just wish they included ingredients of each type so we won't have to ask each time.
ismail hakkı polatAugust 29, 2014Factory Burger is very tasty and big enough! French fries are awful most probably due to longer use of oil. Cheesecakes, of course, are outstanding as well as the service.- Get the Pasta with shrimp and sausage, and substitute with spaghetti. Even the lunch special size are gigantic portions!
John Fernandez SFJanuary 30, 2011Get the Sante Fe Salad. Yum! However be aware that their salads are for two or three ans therefore are full of calories. Ask for no cheese and light on the dressing. Visit me at personaltrainingSF.com
Get the avocado eggrolls! So much avocado in those rolls, and the sauce you dip them in is mildly sweet and unique.- John Fernandez SFNovember 27, 2011If you're counting (as you should be) ask for their Nutritional guide and/or just order from their Skinnylicious Menu. All plates their are under 590 calories. Visit me at
Goker EzberciJanuary 19, 2014The Chicken Madeira awesome!! If you dunno' where to start, just grab it!
Start with wheat bread. Way better than the sourdough. Then get the cashew chicken if you like spicy. Super yummy! And of course end with cheesecake:)
Catalin Ionut FratilaFebruary 28, 2014Try their meatloaf. Is extremely big and good. Also leave some space for some smoothie and cheesecake.
Ebtihaj GhareebSeptember 16, 2015As usual, i loved the place, the decoration and the food. My favorate is Santa fe Salad. The plate is so big. Service is OK. Prices are average.
Roman BusyginJanuary 6, 2013Note to self: Giant portions here. If you plan to eat a cheesecake then you probably can't fit more than one additional dish :-)
Michelle Dela CruzMay 26, 2012The chicken Madeira is awesome! To end that meal, try the Reese's cheesecake or the white chocolate macadamia cheesecake.
Chris WitteAugust 22, 2010Dont come here and eat Cheese Cake factory over priced crap. Go next-door to Crepevine the food is amazing and everything comes with a side of salad and crispy potatoes. Be sure to try everything.
Jc MartinezApril 28, 2012Always listen the suggestions of the waiters, they will help you out with the already delicious dishes ;)
Have the Habachi steak! It's basically a hanger steak! Delicious!
Avoid lunch service on weekdays if you're in a larger groups. One time I came with a group of 12 and another time with 6 people -- both times we were there for longer than 1.5 hours!
Renata DeMello- UR_Realtor4LifeNovember 28, 2010Try the Santa Fe salad- light on dressing and no cheese if you are cutting on the calories in take ;) SIMPLY DELISH!
Sean MMarch 8, 2013For every trouble under the sun There is Cheesecake or there is none Be there one, try to find it. Be there none... go out and buy it!
Lunch specials are good. Good place to take a large group.
David GarciaMay 20, 2012Always so darned dark in this restaurant. Use your phone's flash light when ordering.- Robert KetteringhamJanuary 3, 2013Ordered from the Skinnylicious menu. Still didn't have space for any cheesecake after!
Natalia GranzottoMarch 26, 2011Grilled chicken tostada salad is incredible! Best served as a meal for two.
Victor PANGMarch 2, 2014I ask if they have free wifi and the waitress told me to steal from the next door :-D
Masha AdamianOctober 25, 2014Grab a cheesecake to go. Everything else is cooked badly, and service is slow.
Damla AkbayJuly 14, 2015The worst Cheesecake Factory i've ever been to! Service was super slow, and the tableS, plates seats were dirty! There are many options in the area, i will never go there again!
Dylan HarringtonDecember 21, 2016The food is OK but the wait times are always absurd. Just avoid it imo.
