I don't go out of my way to visit The Cheesecake Factory, but my mother wanted to have an early dinner here for her 60th birthday. We had a group of 13 and when I arrived I tried having them organize a table for us, but the manager said that she wouldn't do so until everyone arrived. Even thought I explained that everyone was on the way she would not sit the 4 of us that were there early.
Upon sitting down, our waiter was very accommodating. Brought us all waters and took drink orders. After browsing the extensive menu items I choose a turkey sandwich from the skinny menu. Food took a while to come out of the kitchen & my niece waited the longest for some kid sliders. I was literally done with my turkey sandwich before they brought out her sliders. Not sure what happened in the kitchen to forget about 2 small sliders. I'm not a fan of the decor of Cheesecake factory or the sitting arrangement made for a large party. I felt trapped where they sat us.
After dinner was over we all ordered some cheesecake, because why not? We opted for the brownie sundae and a slice of cookie dough cheesecake. No complaints in this department. Both good options for dessert. All in all I wouldn't eat here again. The food is OK and the service is OK. Some people rave about this place, but for the price of the food I know I can have a better dining experience somewhere else.
