I actually think it is quite cheap, especially for the portion sizes. $150 is a lot of $$ there IMO. OP, anything on the regular menu will basically be two adult portions. There are some decent options on the skinnylicious menu (I like the turkey burger). As for cheesecake, my family likes lemon meringue cheesecake, key lime cheesecake, tiramisu cheesecake and the salted caramel cheesecake. The cheesecake slices are large as well, we split them in two and eat them over two days.

Cheesecake Factory has a very specific purpose and place. It’s great after mall shopping, I can’t explain why. Shop and then go to Cheesecake Factory. The bread is great. Everything on the menu is good in a very forgettable way. It isn’t memorable or unique But you’ll enjoy it while eating it.

+1 on Chicken Madeira. Also, the plain cheesecake with fresh strawberries is delicious!!!

This is my husband’s order exactly!

Cheesecake with strawberries is the best, hands down. We went there a decent amount in college and for a few years after.
Kind of craving it now!

Yuck. I find the super sized portions unappetizing. Typical American gluttony though.

OP here and lololol your comment is funny but I am not too good to eat there. Somebody mentioned it’s a place for Toyota camery drivers. I drive a Honda Fit so maybe the place is actually too fancy for me!

OP here and thank you for the recommendations! I’m genuinely excited to eat there. Im honestly kind of tempted to order an insanely calorie-laden dish because I am so curious what 2K looks like on a plate.

I have already had their cheesecake and I loved it (I believe I ate the whole thing over the course of a day so I don’t think I will plan on sharing my slice with DH or the kids.)

Wow—that’s crazy! How’s the marriage working out?

CF used to have an incredible salad with radicchio, blue cheese and candied pecans. I miss it.

Ugh everyone’s so snotty with this middle class stuff!

The portions are large, the food is pretty good, and it’s pretty pricey. The Cobb salad is really good.

Only on DCUM can a menu be considered tacky.

Sweet corn tamale cake appetizer is awesome. And their mango key lime cheesecake is really good.

You’re assuming adults are sharing meals which is tacky.
