Cheesecake Factory

I love the burrito - do they still have it?

I love the
avocado egg rolls (appetizers)
Navajo sandwich
Adam's Peanut Butter cup fudge ripple cheesecake

There's a reason it is called the Cheesecake Factory - because that's what's good to eat there.

They do have a skinny menu, and it is the only food for which they have nutrition info available (and even then, it's just broken into "all of these items are under ______ calories"). I had the chopped salad from the skinny menu the other day and it was tasty. I also like the blackened chicken sandwich, and the farfalle with chicken and peas and some other stuff....I can't remember what it is called.

This is good. I had it recently.

Crab cakes are very good. I get the sandwich and eat it open faced. As a side, the sweet potatoe fries are great. For a drink, I like the passion iced tea, which doesn't have sugar in it. For salads, my favorite is the Thai chicken lettuce wraps, but very messy.

The Chicken Madeira is my absolute favorite. OMG craving some now.

The only time I was ever unfortunate enough to have to go there I ordered an entree salad there once that was literally a dinner plate mounded 6" high. It made me want to vomit. I asked the waiter for a smaller plate and he stared at me stupidly as if he didn't understand. When he finally came back with the smaller plate I asked him to wait, put as much salad as I wanted to eat and asked him to take the ginormous, overflowing plate away. Again, confusion. "But you can box it, ma'am." Um, no, this is enough thanks. "Are you sure? I can bring you a box." Um, no, day old soggy salad really doesn't appeal to me, thanks.

And that is why I have never and probably will never go back.

You sound like a delightful restaurant patron.

I used to be a waiter and will tip 20% without fail unless you were a jerk. I wasn't rude to the guy - I just asked for what I wanted and refused a box I didn't want. It honestly was enough salad for a group of 6 piled onto one plate. Disgusting, I'm sorry. I didn't want to look at that huge mound of food sitting in front of me while I ate, and I was utterly appalled by the portion sizes and the waste that was leftover after our meal. As a PP said, it is so indicative of everything that is wrong with America's attitude toward food.

I went once with friends for a girls night and got a couple appetizers- I think the stuffed mushrooms and... let me go look... Vietnamese tacos! They weren't bad and it wasn't a huge pile of food either.

The cheesecake slices are enormous so I would say to split a piece if your friends wants cheesecake.

Jamaican Black Pepper Shrimp is great. Spicy, comes with plantains and black beans and rice.

Doesn't Montgomery County have a law that you need to display the calorie counts for all dishes, not just the skinny ones?

[Anonymous]

No, they don't have that law...they may have tried to pass it, but restaurants in Montgomery County definitely don't all offer calorie counts...but this was also the Cheesecake Factory in Columbia. I checked online and they do not have a nutrition guide on their website, either.

Salads are good, chicken madeira, cajun type pasta also good...
