Mexican Tortilla Salad
Paris M.

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!

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.

Pretzel Bites with Cheddar Cheese Fondue

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.

Sorry started indulging  Americana cheeseburger (with turkey meat) 10/10

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.

Do they do well serving a large group, i.e., 14 people?

Hello Luanna, Call in advance and they may accommodate you. I have seen the CF in Annapolis do so. They will push tables together.

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.

I stopped here on my way out of town because I saw they have gluten free options. Wow! What a…read moretreat! The crab soup I had was amazing (I didn't even think I liked crab until I ate that). My sandwich was so good and the gluten free bread rocked. Additionally, the woman who took my order at the bar was exceptionally pleasant! What an all around great experience!

I was really disappointed with this J. Alexander's location. The Caesar salad was completely…read moreoverloaded with dressing, making it feel careless and unbalanced. For a restaurant with a full bar, it was surprising they had no mezcal and were supposedly out of top-shelf bourbon, yet still served me a drink that tasted overly sweet and nothing like the premium bourbon I ordered. Another letdown was the lack of bread service. Other J. Alexander's locations usually serve croissants, so having none available took away from the experience. The food didn't make up for it either. The steak lacked flavor and felt low quality for the price. The "fried chicken platter" was basically oversized chicken tenders marketed as an entrée, and the mac and cheese was watery and bland instead of rich and creamy. Overall, the experience felt inconsistent and poorly executed. Between the missing staples, questionable bar service, and underwhelming food, this location did not feel worth the cost.

This review is long overdue as I started the draft some time ago! I have visited J. Alexander's…read moretwice for dinner a couple months apart. For me there's a lot to like. It's an elevated casual establishment with really good American food and a great wine, spirits and cocktail menu too. The atmosphere is chic and lively at dinnertime and the service is consistent and attentive. They also offer larger party private dining options. I really need to get back there soon!

Walking around downtown Annapolis, we overheard some people outside the restaurant raving about how…read moregood the food was, especially the crispy kale, so we decided to give it a try. 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!

We went to Preserve for date night and had a really good dinner. We sat beside the window…read moreoverlooking Main Street, which was a nice spot to enjoy the evening. 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.
