The last time I ate at a Cheesecake Factory was 1998. But I have heard they actually make their own food, they don’t just reheat a bunch of Sysco frozen food, so that might make you feel better, OP. Can anyone confirm? Seems impossible for them to cook everything on their extensive menu, but a friend in the restaurant industry said that unlike similar restaurants (Applebys etc), Cheesecake Factory has chefs who actually cook everything, not just microwave premade pasta.

Yeah, I got curious and looked at the Tysons menu online. Based on what OP claims to have ordered ... it probably would not be $225. Not even with ordering the more expensive things and tax and tip.
No just did it
app $18.95, 18.95 and $17.95 = $55.85
Mains $38.99 and $44.95 = $83.90(steak)
Drinks 3.95 x 2= $7.90
Cheese cake 10.95 x 2 = $21.90
Total $169.55
Tax 10%
$186.50
%20 tip
Total $223.80 some of the drinks could be a few dollars more like lemonade.
You ordered a $45 entree. What’re you complaining about again?

I never understand these comments on the Food forum. I’m slim, eat mostly healthy, work out but I get such a disordered eating/wanting to feel superior vibe from these comments. “Ew gross!” “Oh I could never eat that much!” It’s completely irrelevant to the OP

OP can’t really complain if they choose to order so gluttonously.

Don’t particularly like Cheesecake Factory but everything is just expensive now in restaurants. DD and I had an impromptu lunch at True Fiod Kitchen while shopping at Mosaic and it was 70$ for a cauliflower app and two entrees. It’s made me rethink those kind of spur of the moment meals out.

Agree.
Tip-off - when she said she could have gotten more generous portions elsewhere.
Lol!

Are you nitpicking about "portion size" vs "number of portions in a meal"???

I have a vegan and a 6 year old who is incredibly picky. Cheescake factory is somewhere that everyone can find something on the menu. It won't be great, but it will be adequate

Cheesecake factory sucks. It's a chain. Are you from like the middle of nowhere Arkansas and now in a big fancy suburban mall? Wow.

The vast majority of entrees are more like 25-30. If OP ordered two filet mignons then the price seems right.
