| - We're not big fans of chain restaurants, but the Cheesecake Factory is an exception. You always know you're going to get tasty food, and a large serving (usually enough to share or take home half). Plus, they've got a huge menu with a good number of veggie options (veggie burger, salads, pastas, sandwiches, etc).
I love love love their avocado eggrolls. So much deliciousness wrapped in wonton skins and then fried, with a yummy cilantro sauce. MMMM. Their corn cakes are also good, but the sauces on them aren't veggie; just ask for salsa instead.
I also love the brown bread they serve with all meals, even if you're just getting starters or cheesecake. Speaking of which, they're actually pretty good, says my cheesecake snob partner (who is from NY), and big enough to share easily.
I've actually been over-serviced at multiple cheesecake locations, which I guess is better than not getting enough. On NYE, we went here for Cheesecake, drinks and the free champagne toast; we had two almost identical servers who clearly didn't communicate, and the two of us wound up with four classes of bubbly instead of two. I'm not gonna argue.
They may have their off days for service, but their food is good, their menu long, and their servings big. It's hard to argue with that.
