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.

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").


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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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