I think the Cheesecake Factory is ok. Nothing magical, but nothing terrible you know? I went in on Labor Day at 2:00 thinking the crowd would have died down....but guess again it was freakin packed!!!
30 minute wait, which I guess in the grand scheme of Cheesecake Factory wait times wasn't too bad. The people watching during the wait is always interesting and the massive amounts of food and cheesecake that pass me always make me wonder what kind of money this place makes.
The service was great, very attentive and friendly. One thing I do like is the variety of food offered which is both good and bad, I guess. We had the avocado eggrolls which are pretty tasty, I don't want to know how many calories were in them but nice chunks of avocado fried in an egg roll wrapper were complimented by a sweet and spicy dipping sauce.
I had the mushroom burger which frankly was very good. It was well put together with very flavorful mushrooms and swiss cheese. The cover the burger in some kind of wine sauce which was welcomed. Fries....nasty. Too much salt ruined them.
We skipped on the cheesecake (I know, blasphemy) but I figured I gorged on too many calories as it was and wanted to be able to look myself in the mirror afterwards.
