Pretzel Bites with Cheddar Cheese Fondue
Vincent L.

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.

Banana pudding cheesecake
Monet H.

Food was good, had the lite option steak medallions. Perfect size portion and flavorful, service was great by the bartender Gabby and our server. My mojito was a perfect blend! There were a few gnats flying around that were annoying, but I'd didnt stop us from enjoying our food and the banana pudding cheesecake was delicious. 1st time having it and I have no regrets.

I frequent this location after mall or grocery shopping. Never disappoints. Bar service with Mike the bartender is always a pleasure. Very attentive, drinks on point, and food service is always great. As far as noise level not too loud. Even the other bar sitters are friendly. And don't forget your cheesecake. I redeemed my free bday slice. Trying the peach cheesecake for first time

Zucchini
Alexis T.

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.

Peruvian Chicken Bowl
Donica T.

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.

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.

Lemon Raspberry Cream Cheesecake
Starvel D.

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

Thai Chicken Salad | Chicken Satay with Citrus Honey Peanut Vinaigrette on the side.
Kris P.

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.

That kind of attention and hospitality says a lot about how much they value their customers. This place is truly a hidden gem in Annapolis.

Once seated the server approaches us with a bottle of Saratoga water and aked if this was our first time at the restaurant. I replayed yes and she proceeded to inform us of all the food stations. She continued to ask if she could take our drink order and I had inquired about the cost of the bottle of Saratoga water it was $6 and we decided to purchase the which left me thinking the tap water was not good. The food I had bacon, eggs, shirmp and sausage gravy, prime rib roast and grits. The egg were okay. The bacon was good and crispy. The grits and cheese was good, shrimp and sausage in gravy. The gravy was so thick you could not get to the meat. The prime rib was small and over cooked. I also ordered a latte with espresso and coffee both was so weak the Saratoga water tasted better. Asked that both be removed from my check. The music was great. Note: be prepared to pay an 18% gratuity/tip which included in the total on the check. There was three in our party our tip was $28 which means it's $9.33 per person.

West End Grill, Naptown -- Unforgiven Edition…read more It's a hell of a thing, killing a plate of green beans. West End happy hour. Adam behind the bar slinging John Dalys for $6.75 like Little Bill forgot to outlaw liquor in Big Whiskey. Then dinner rode into town. Chicken Cordon Bleu: 4.5/5. Moist as hell, ham and cheese doing exactly what God and France intended. Only crime? Needed more sauce. Not enough to hang the cook, but enough to knock half a star off the bounty. Then came the risotto. I believe it was forged somewhere beneath the earth's crust. One million degrees. Molten fucking steel. I tried to approach it. It threatened my family. No rating. By the time that thing reaches an edible temperature, Clint Eastwood will be smiling in a movie. But those slow-cooked green beans? Jesus. Sweet onions, what tasted like some ham-hock sorcery, cooked down until everything knew everybody else's name. I hit them with a dash of Tabasco and suddenly we weren't eating a side anymore. We were settling a score. Top-five green beans I've ever eaten. And understand something: I come from the South. Green beans aren't vegetables down there. They're a competitive sport. I ordered a second damn bowl. Adam kept the John Dalys coming, the happy-hour price stayed ridiculous, and when I asked his favorite movie? Unforgiven. Well, Adam... "Deserve's got nothing to do with it." Except tonight it does. Those green beans deserve five stars, a second order, and their own goddamn horse. Fork around and find out, Naptown.

Full On Craft Eats. The Toast online ordering system was easy to navigate and adorned with pictures of every menu item. I could not get past the onion rings on the starter menu hoping they would taste as good as they looked. My friend offered to split the Slammin Salmon sandwich and onion rings since she has had it before and never finished the entire thing. I took her up on it and the order was placed. A quick ask for mom to grab it on the way home and the food made its way back quickly. WOW is all I can say. When you order food to go there is a level of expectation that it will not be as good as it is at the restaurant, especially fries and onion rings. But in this instance WOW. Talk about food that travels well. Fourteen minutes away and the food was still warm, the onion rings were so crisp, and the garlic and dill aioli and onion ring sauce were just right. The Slammin Salmon was served on ciabatta bread that was not too soft not too hard, with salmon cooked perfectly. The lemon dill aioli was a game changer so much that my friend's advice to order extra was well received and committed to memory. The onion rings lived up to the hype, cooked perfectly with a crust I cannot even explain. The kind you bite into without losing the entire onion from the breading. Dip it into the sauce and you have a match made in heaven. Half the sandwich was more than enough but the next day I would have loved some leftovers. Now for the extra razzle dazzle. I left to visit a friend in DC and sent him the menu, shared my experience and he was locked in to try. Online ordering was closed since they were closing at 10pm so I called as a last-ditch effort since the anticipation was already there. The nicest most warm individual answered ten minutes before closing and was more than happy to take my order. She even made sandwich recommendations. I quickly arrived at a shopping center that was easy to get in and out of. Walking in you immediately arrive at the counter and takeout area to your left with a nice bar area a short walk past on the right. The cooks and wait staff were having the best time using the 6/7 saying that was all over social media late last year. They were considerate when they noticed I was in the restaurant, but I assured them I loved their energy. I see why the food is so good because the energy shows it was made with great vibes and laughter all around. As I grabbed the bag to leave the hostess stopped me to add another fork and extra napkins since I would need them to add the pickled veggies on my sandwich. Such a nice touch. Thirty plus minutes to DC and the food still did not need to be reheated. The Mai Thai sandwich was a hit with flavors that married well and the onion rings delivered again. The Spicy Thai wings were good for wings but typical. They had a lot to compete with. Full On Craft Eats Annapolis, not to be confused with Rockville, is an experience you will want to repeat again and again. Good food fast that travels well (yes that is a thing). A great addition to any table worth gathering at. I did it twice in one day!!

We were immediately greeted and taken care of, which was a great start! The crispy kale was HANDS DOWN one of the best kale dishes I've ever had!!! It was so good that I'd honestly come back just for that alone. I also ordered the crab bucatini, which was delicious! The pasta was perfectly al dente, and I loved all the different textures and flavors in the dish. I'll admit, looking at the menu, I initially thought this might be one of those overly hippie places that tries a little too hard, with a limited selection that doesn't necessarily look all that appetizing on paper. But wow, was I wrong! Don't let the menu fool you. This place is absolutely worth trying, and the crispy kale alone is reason enough to stop by! They also make their own soda! My one gripe is the "labor of love" tax. I'm not the biggest fan of these extra fees, especially when you're already paying for your meal and tipping. That said, the food was genuinely delicious, and I'd still recommend giving this place a try! Plenty of seating inside, outside, and at the bar!

The Heirloom Tomatoes were really good. The griddled cornbread served with them was moist, though I would have liked it a little sweeter. The Crab Bucatini was probably the standout--absolutely delicious, with the pasta cooked well. The Ribeye was also good and cooked exactly as requested, although I wasn't a big fan of the accompanying sauce. We finished with the Coconut Panna Cotta. We also tried the Calm for a Cure charity cocktails. They were good, but a little on the sweet side for my taste. The service couldn't have been better. Our server checked on us without hovering, kept our water glasses filled, and brought the food out quickly. She really helped make the evening enjoyable. The restaurant was attractive and clean, including the bathroom. It was relatively quiet, with just a little noise from the bar, and comfortable for conversation. Dinner was a little pricey, but I felt it was worth it. One thing to be aware of: our bill included a 4% "Labor of Love" service charge for employee benefits, separate from gratuity. Overall, a very good choice for date night in Annapolis.
