Besides the great food, our DoorDash was missing half of our order. DoorDash would not refund or fix the issue even though they only picked up one of the two bags of our order. Cheesecake Factory in Annapolis allowed us to pick up our order the following day since it was so late. When I got there they gave me freshly prepared dishes and offered an additional dessert. They went above and beyond to make it right even though it was not their fault. Thank you Cheesecake factory we will be back. read more

Worth the Trip to Annapolis, Superb Service, Huge Portions, and Great Family Dining! We chose the Annapolis Mall location over others closer to us specifically because of its top-tier ratings, and it delivered on every front. Pro tip: make a reservation! We had a table for six on a Sunday evening, and the place was completely packed. If we hadn't booked ahead, we would have faced a massive wait. We were seated in a spacious booth where all six of us fit comfortably. Right out of the gate, our waiter was an absolute rockstar. He was juggling multiple tables, but you would never know it by how locked in he was. He kept us engaged, anticipated our needs, answered questions immediately, and brought everything right away like a magician. He easily added a full star to our overall experience! Our Grand-Loves got their meals first, butter noodles and grilled shrimp with fries, and they loved every bite. My son-in-law and I split the pork belly buns. We're both huge pork belly fans, and while we wished the slices were slightly thicker, every single bite had phenomenal flavor. My wife and bonus daughter ordered the warm brie with artisan bread and orange marmalade. The citrus marmalade took the rich brie to a whole other level, phenomenal start. Truffle-Honey Chicken: I was torn between this and the Chicken Bellagio (my two go-to favorites), but went with the Truffle-Honey Chicken. The chicken was fried to golden perfection, crispy on the outside, and juicy inside. The portion was huge, so I enjoyed half of it and saved the rest for lunch tomorrow. Drizzling that extra truffle-honey sauce over the chicken, mashed potatoes, and fresh asparagus was pure magic. Chicken Bellagio: My bonus daughter loved hers, and we even ordered an extra one to go for meals later in the week. The takeout packaging was impressive, they keep the cold garnishes and sauce separated so the presentation stays neat and doesn't get soggy on the ride home. Cajun Salmon: My wife tried this new dish. She really enjoyed the corn and mashed potatoes, but felt the salmon itself needed more baseline seasoning and relied heavily on the Cajun butter sauce to carry the flavor. Not a bad dish, but not as punchy as she anticipated. Cheesecake is the standard, but my wife ordered the Carrot Cake, and wow. Every bite I managed to sneak was out of this world, next time we get whole cake from here, that's my pick. I also grabbed a slice of the seasonal Pumpkin Pecan Cheesecake, which was rich, festive, and fantastic across two sittings. Everyone left full, happy, and satisfied. Management, please find the gentleman with the bald head and mustache who took care of our booth on Sunday night and give him his flowers--he is an asset to your team! read more

* Chinese Chicken Salad-- my usual. Such a huge salad..can never finish it all. Asked waiter to serve 1/2 as I planned to take the rest home. He acted like he didn't understand what I wanted.. * Fettuccine Alfredo-- my son's choice-- pasta was overcooked and gummy. Replaced with Spaghetti Carbonara--bacon burned. Service-- Started out fine, but quickly disappointed us. Waiter was subpar. Iced tea.. no sweetener.. had to ask him for it *Never checked on us.. had to flag him down every time *Brought a tiny cheesecake box for the left over salad.. looked puzzled when I asked for salad dressing to go with the leftover salad. I had to take a fork from an empty table to transfer and cram my salad into the tiny box, rather than wait for him to reappear! Ambiance: 5:30 PM on Thursday..no wait. Friendly hosts at the front desk. read more

My fiancé, daughter, and I went to The Cheesecake Factory in Annapolis on a Saturday night, and we had such a good experience. We already love The Cheesecake Factory, but this time we decided to try a few different things. For our appetizer, we ordered the spinach dip. I usually get the crab dip, so this was my first time trying it, and it did not disappoint. It was hot, cheesy, and went perfectly with the chips. For our entrées, my daughter ordered the plain fettuccine Alfredo, my fiancé got the steak tacos with white rice and black beans, and I ordered the Cajun salmon with mashed potatoes and buttered corn. When I say everything was delicious, I mean everything! The salmon was cooked perfectly. I normally ask for my salmon extra well done, but I forgot this time, and it still came out exactly how I like it. The mashed potatoes were seasoned well, the corn was buttery, and the Cajun sauce was so good that I ordered extra on the side. My daughter's fettuccine Alfredo had plenty of sauce, so we didn't even need to ask for more. It was also my first time tasting it, and the sauce tasted fresh and homemade. My fiancé's steak tacos were also really good. They came with a creamy chipotle sauce that was delicious, and the soft corn tortillas were surprisingly perfect. I usually prefer flour tortillas over corn, but these tacos didn't need flour at all lol. Overall, we enjoyed The Cheesecake Factory as always. The food was delicious, the portions were good, and we will definitely be back! read more

Took my niece and nephew to the Cheesecake Factory at Annapolis Mall to celebrate their accomplishments of making the Principal Honor Roll. My sister ordered the chicken costelleto w/angel hair pasta (my fav), my niece and I were influenced to order the viral Cajun salmon w/ shrimp, and my nephew ordered a burger w/bacon. Of course we started w/apps and ended w/cheesecake because that's what you do when you come to the Cheesecake Factory. Our server was absolutely wonderful and efficient! Super attentive! Our food could've arrived warmer, but I appreciate all of our food arriving at the same time. The ambiance was typical. Lots of lively chatting and crowded, but we enjoyed our family outing. The kids love it, and I always recommend this location for a casual family dinner. read more

My party of 4 (2 adults and 2 grandchildren) arrived to a packed house this past Saturday around 5 pm. Fortunately, an expected 40 minute wait ended up to only be 15 minutes. Our server, Trevor, was a gem. Personable and took our whole order by memory. He repeated it back perfectly. Avocado egg rolls arrived hot and crispy. My grandchildren ordered grilled cheese and a pasta dish which came out first. They were hungry. My wife ordered a seared tuna with a salad that she said was delicious. I ordered a bistro burger with carmelized onions and bacon on toasted French bread, which was great. The kid meal came with ice cream sundaes, which they loved. Trevor refilled our drinks and provided exceptional service. I haven't been to the Cheesecake Factory in a long time. Everything was freshly made and I look forward to going back. read more

Cheesecake Factory will forever be a busy place to dine in no matter when you go. It's a nice restaurant and when they dim the lights at dusk it just makes the night even better. What stood out to me on this visit was our server Hazel K. She was hands down one of the best I've ever encountered in an establishment like this. She was extremely attentive and it seemed like she knew exactly what we needed at the right time. I would literally ask to be seated in her section if I knew her work schedule. The food was great. We had calamari, pizzas, truffle chicken, chicken and biscuits, pasta, and more. There was nothing wrong with a single dish. All of the food came out hot and it was all delicious. read more

I had been sleeping on The Cheesecake Factory! Went on Friday night. Got a table for six after about 25 minutes. Everybody was courteous and seemed like they were enjoying their jobs. Our waitress was fantastic but I don't remember her name! (TCF: it was table #43 at 7:00 pm on 5/15/2026) she was friendly, full of energy and, although clearly busy, didn't miss a beat. I went with the Tuscan chicken off of the skinnylicious menu. It was a delicious dish with a lot of food and a nice balance of veggies and chicken. After all the bread I ate, I left more than satisfied. read more

I haven't been to cheesecake factory in like over 10 years and as soon as I walked down with a friend of mine, they said us right away it was like 9:36 PM and I didn't know what to order so the person I was with was like they were getting the jambalaya with noodles and I was like oh that's gross so then our waiter Mr. Trevor K introduced himself and asked me what I wanted to drink at the time and I said oh lemonade what kind do you have and he was like oh strawberry lemonade is the best which flavor I said I'm allergic to strawberries. He said oh my goodness I'm so sorry he said, but the second best lemonade is peach I said yeah I want that one. Cause I brought my own water. So he bought me some water with ice even though I have my own water and then he bought me a peach lemonade. Let me tell you that lemonade was so good. I forgot the star he came back after my order Trevor K said the jambalaya is great with rice. The person I was with he said the noodles I don't recommend that person got the same thing but with noodles, he said it's OK. The rice is good. That's the only way he eats it. Let me tell you something he bought his bread. I had like one piece but the jambalaya with rice is delicious. First of all the ambience was OK the noise the music was super loud so I couldn't really think but I guess I was hungry. We'll talk it up after that and I was trying to have a conversation and it wasn't working so I felt like when it was my turn to talk in the dialogue, I had to shout, but not at Mr. Trevor K. Well, anyway, Mr. Trevor K brought my jambalaya with everything shrimp chicken and Dooley sausage. With the pan drippings my God the pan drippings from the jambalaya and I put a little bit of salt on everything after I tasted it first just needed a tiny bit of salt just a couple of pinches and some pepper and then I poured the pan drippings all over the rice and then I left some from the person I was with with the pasta cause he was Mr. Trevor tried to explain to him the pasta noodles you don't get the full flavor of the jambalaya so I told him I sit here. These are a pan dripping and pour that on there it makes it better. So he loaded up his jambalaya with a whole bunch of salt like salted it out and I was like god that's salty so I put some pepper in there and then he poured the pan. The rest of the pan drip is on. Didn't ask me if I wanted some more anyway I ate and ate and then I took a piece of the white bread and I chopped up the juices of the pan drippings while I was eating on my plate of jambalaya. Let me tell you cheesecake factory you guys are awesome hadn't been. I will be back I Mr. Trevor K I'm apologizing for the person I was with cause he was really loud really rude and it was being just an a hole at times and then on top of that he had three coronas so it was weird. But yeah, I apologize for the short tip that the person I was with Gabe, but I Mr. Trevor K, you are fantastic at your job. Amazing wonderful love you so much thank you so much for the lemonade the peach lemonade with the sugar around the room cause I even peep that I was like whoa he did that. What does lemonade or whoever made it but thank you Mr. Trevor for recommending it. Thank you for being my waiter. I guess I could've asked him to turn down the music, but I didn't think of that until I was leaving. read more

Let me preface this bg saying I worked food service when I was younger. Customer Service is paramount along with balancing orders and other responsibilities. I get it. It's a hard job. However our waiter, Alexis, fair skin gentleman w/ a beard, did not deliver. Came with a family of 5. We all got our food and immediately I didn't like mine. Cuban Sandwhich. Not waiters fault, he didn't cook it. However what happens after matters. He gave me a menu and I found a replacement. 10-15 minutes. No show. I looked around and nothing. He came back and I asked for the check. He took it and didn't even acknowledge the fact that I wasn't served. No apology. No effort. Just took our check. When he gave the check back it still had the sandwich. I had to approach him again to remove it and he just too the check and adjusted it. No apology. Nothing. Approached the manager, Jordan, explained the situation. Alexis came back (finally covered) and I responded that I didn't like his customer service. He looked at me - and walked away. In front of his supervisor. Like I was trash and the customer opinion was nothing. The supervisor Jordan saw first hand his rudeness. He apologized and asked if there was anything. I simply said talk to that guy. Because he could checked up on me. He could have acknowledged his error with the check. He could have apologized in front of his supervisor when I called him out on his customer service. Instead he showed his true colors. He looked and walked away. Jordan his supervisor even witnessed it. If you're not in it for the customers then why even show up? I simply didn't like the food after my first bite and I deserved to be ignored while family ate? Awful. Do better Alexis. It's not about you. Luckily Jordan apologized on behalf of the restaurant. Something Alexis could've simply could have done. read more

A common staple for American franchise restaurants. All of the salmon dishes are recommended with miso and grilled leading the pack. I added a picture of the fried zucchini as it's a new format. The strips are longer and thicker with a tasty batter. read more

Been going here for years, food is going downhill as far as quality and the cheesecake's slices are getting smaller and smaller, but the price still goes up. Do your customers a favor and give them what they pay for. Good quality food and the cheesecake's are becoming a joke with the small pieces. Loosing customers left and right with bad business and smaller slices of cheesecake, which is in the name. 0 out of 5 stars, do better or just close, stop robbing people for their hard earned money. read more

My family was celebrating my daddy's 96th Birthday and it was the WORST! I got there at 3pm to put our name on the waiting list. The Manager Brian/Bryan quoted 45 min to an hour. The rest of my family came at 4pm. We didn't get seated until 4:50pm and he had an attitude after we waited and we had to keep asking what was going on! After we finally got seated, the food was terrible and his kept his nasty attitude during our stay. The server tried to make this a good visit, but the Manager Brian/Bryan continued to make it horrible. If my daddy didn't like the Jambalaya so much, we would have left. Just know we will never be back to this location and all thanks to Manager Brian/Bryan‼ read more

I promise whenever I go here this place never disappoints. You can go 1000 times and never fully try everything on the menu because it is such a vast array of options and no matter what I try they all are delicious. Tonight I had something very new, which is the Peruvian chicken bowl and it was delicious with black beans, white rice, salsa, Peruvian chicken plantains, and a special sauce. For my beverage. I had a coconut limeade, which was very refreshing and the way it was presented was exquisite and for dessert I tried the seasonal seasonal pumpkin pecan cheesecake which melted in my mouth. My server was very attentive and kept the hot bread coming, and she provide options for my dinner guest because he was unsure of what he wanted. I always love how the low lighting sets the ambiance in the cheesecake factory. It was definitely a 10 out of 10 experience. read more

Great experience! Walked in in a Friday night and had a very short wait. We were told 15 minutes and we may have waited 5 before we were called to be seated. The place was packed so the wait was understandable. Parking wasn't bad at all especially considering the mall wasn't closed just yet. I expected the food to take a while but everything came right on time and was hot and fresh. I love the brown bread here it's one of my favorite things outside of the cucumber mint lemonade. I ventured out of my comfort zone just a little and ordered a new entree, Cajun salmon, which proved to be delicious. The salmon was cooked to perfection and the sauce was delicious. The ambiance is very fun but mature, perfect for date nights. We ordered a cocktail which also caught me by surprise because it was perfectly strong. Cadillac margaritas was a great choice for a Friday night. Would I return? YES Would I recommend you visit? Of course. read more

I've been on a bit of a meatloaf kick lately. My friend said the Cheesecake Factory had some and it was pretty good. Since I wasn't that hungry I ordered the lunch portion. I think the only difference between that and the dinner portion is the number of meatloaf slices. The lunch portion was more than enough and my friend was right. The meatloaf is pretty good. The slices are nice and thick, flavorful, and it comes with mushroom gravy. I asked for it on the side for the mashed potatoes, but they accidentally put it on them. The mashed potatoes really didn't need any gravy in my opinion. I've had the mashed potato several times and they're always tasty; I prefer them au naturel. I like the green beans because they don't overcook them and they still have a slight crisp to them. For dessert, I wanted something I've never had before; I tried the lemon raspberry cream cheesecake. It's raspberry vanilla cake, lemon cheesecake, raspberry lady fingers, & lemon mousse. I know it sounds like a lot, but all of that together makes a really good dessert. There's a few different textures, a little tart & creamy from the lemon, and a little sweet from the raspberry. I don't know why but raspberry and lemon always taste good together. I'm definitely adding this cheesecake into the rotation. If you've never tried it, you should. You won't regret read more

Was at Annapolis Location- Sat at the bar on Saturday July 25... Food is a 0....Pizza was soggy and not good. Salad was sad...dressing was bland..... Great Bartender-- 5 stars.... Just not in the mood to complain (was having a great day shopping at nearby stores) read more

Who said they are too good for Cheesecake Factory?!!!??? LMBO! Not me! Ventured over to pick up lunch today. Cheesecake Factory use to be on rotation when my husband and I, first started dating. Every Sunday we would venture to the bar! Hahaaa!! Anyhoo this afternoon I ordered the Beets and Avocado salad which was really good! Beets, avocado, orange slices, arugula, quinoa with a yogurt dressing. Delicious! I will definitely be back for this! I should've ordered 2 of these!! I also ordered the stuffed Parmesan Mushrooms and an impossible burger with sweet potato fries. I couldn't come all the way to Cheesecake Factory, and NOT get a dessert! So I opted for the viral Pineapple Upside down cheesecake that I'll enjoy later when I get home. With the ability to ordering online and my order be ready when I arrive, I'm sure we'll be making our way back.... Happy Yelping! read more

The food was not edible. I have never sent a dish back in my life but could not eat my sandwich. There was something unidentifiable in my chicken salad. I've always loved their chicken salad. I wasn't going to say anything but my husband asked about it. The manager took my plate back and they did comp me the dish. Waiter was nice until they took my plate back. Cocktails were very expensive. I would not go back. read more

Service crawled at the speed of light. 1hr to get bread. Waiter was discombobulated with a ton of excuses for lackluster and slow service. Took 30+ minutes for server to greet us, 30+ minutes to get a water and Diet Coke. Very irritated this happened on my girls day out while I was starving having saving my calories all day for this! Mac and cheese appetizer didn't disappoint. Cheesecake decadent. Louisiana pasta was huge but also dry...even with extra sauce...won't get that again. Totally dissatisfied with this location. Ruined my dinner out catching up with friends. read more

I mean it's Cheesecake Factory. Be prepared for the change of shift here, especially from lunch to dinner, Saturdays are madness. It's a carnival and quite a disaster at the host. Ample of patience and at least 2.5 hours from start to finish. My most recent ordeal here was underwhelming. Once you're seated, service will really depend on your server. This visit I chose the Thai chicken salad except switch the dressing to the citrus honey peanut vinaigrette, it just pairs better with the chicken satay. I appreciate the dinner size. This is my go-to here if not the steak diane and bistro shrimp. Sometimes, a good salad and a steady pour of wine are all a gal desires. read more

The Cheesecake Factory is definitely an experience--starting with the menu, which feels more like a book than a list of options. For me, it's a bit overwhelming, so I usually just stick to the lettuce wraps on the first page. They're good, but honestly, the rest of the menu is just too much to navigate. Of course, the cheesecake is a classic, but the true star for me is the lemoncello cake. It's the only reason I go out of my way to visit. Pair it with a lemon drop martini, and it's absolute perfection! As a chain, it's consistent, so you know what you're getting no matter where you go, which some people love. Personally, I'm not big on chain restaurants, and I can't speak too much about the food because I usually only stop in for dessert--usually when invited or for a special occasion. Overall, it's a solid spot with good food and desserts, but it's not somewhere I'd go out of my way for unless I'm craving that lemoncello cake. read more

9-6-25 I was in the area!! We ate Lunch at Maggs but too full to get desserts. I'm like let's get cheesecake to go!! ... I go in and I swear the CF bakery know what they're doing because they have the display case full of all flavors of beautifully presented cheesecake slices!!.. it's hard to pick every time simply forgetting that they're cut smaller now super price hike 3x much... GONE are the $5 big slices they used to serve.. the service was cool & funny because I asked Matthew I think his name was Reese or the snickers like one He said Reese is his fave!. I'm like mine too but I gotta try something new lol decisions decisions we laughed.. I got moms the Lemon Raspberry she wasn't expecting two slices she said if they didn't have get this one... so she got Lemon Raspberry and I got her the Oreo extreme dream or something! I got the snickers like one and the Oreo to try myself. sooo tempted to get the Reese too but Clarendon isn't far at all!!. The ambiance was busy!! ...Cheesecake slices have gotten higher than when I went last !! It's now 10.50-$12.00 a slice so you'll be spending close to 50.00$ for 4 Slices!! But My slices are going in the freezer for a rainy day! Because I wasn't coming back for a whiiileee... I always hit the factory for cheesecakes!! Like nobody can ever compare;) read more

Recently ordered pickup here and the order went left. I know it was late 9:50 or so when I placed the order yet, customers should still receive quality service. I did not receive the correct order on this visit. Unfortunately after a long work day I ordered and wanted the steak diane. Instead I received - an avocado eggroll order ( I believe). I saw my name on the bag and the employee did ask to confirm. The wrong order was placed in the bag. I was so focused on getting home to eat when I saw the food I thought - this is why you have to always check for yourself. I had my mind set on my order , maybe next time.... lesson learned I should just go inside to pick up my order if I order pickup again. read more

We had dinner at the Annapolis location around 6 pm last night. We ordered 4 cheese pasta, steak Diane, and Filet mignon steak and two salads, so the total i think was around 170. That was the worst experience we have ever had. The salads came out 1 min before dinner, and the filet mignon was chewy and no flavor at all. We told the waiter he said good feedback. He seemed to be very concerned with a high top table next to us because he was catering to them. We had terrible service and meals. We ate thier sunday nov 16 2025. read more
