I'm not the biggest fan of chain restaurants, but Cheesecake Factory is definitely way above par for your normal chain.
The menu is a little pricey, but you definitely get what you pay for.
The menu is also HUGE. Part of that monstrosity is advertisements (annoying!) but there really is a ton to choose from.
I have weekly (if not daily) day dreams about the Avocado Egg Rolls. Holy moly this appetizer rocks my world! Yes, it's an appetizer, but I actually order it as my entree, whoops. These rolls are chocked full of crazy amounts of flavor and texture. The middle is gooey and savory and the outside is crispy and delicious. And the dipping sauce, some sort of cilantro chutney... SHUT UP! It's amazing.
I also really enjoy the Sweet Corn Tamale Cakes appetizer. These little babies are sweet and salty at the same time. Very filling. Nice presentation.
My favorite appetizer salad is the French Country Salad. Veggie friendly and delish.
The only thing I've had here I have NOT enjoyed was Evelyn's Favorite Pasta. It's pretty boring and lackluster, I do not recommend.
And last but definitely not least, their namesake... the CHEESECAKES. Oh lord. Yes, It's okay to come here just for cheesecake. No one will judge you.
I would like to say I've tried them all. Unfortunately I'm in love with the Tiramisu and order it EVERY time. Except for in the fall and winter when The Pumpkin Pecan Cheesecake is in season.
