My sister convinced me to eat here today, and lowkey, I've been a hater because of how calorie-dense the food is here. I also wanted to try the viral Cajun Salmon. Good thing she made a reservation because the place was jam-packed, and parking was pretty hard to find. Starting with the appetizers, the Buffalo wings were top-tier and very flavorful, and the avocado egg rolls were also good. I've always thought their bread was the best, and it didn't disappoint. The salmon was pretty good, but I'm not really understanding the virality of the dish. However, the Santa Fe Salad had amazing textures, and the sweet sauce blended perfectly. Service was good, and overall, not a bad meal at all! read more

Ranking a 4/5 based off alllllllll of the times I've gone to this Cheesecake Factory, but my experience tonight was 5/5! Our server, Matt G, was incredibly kind, very patient with my mother in helping her decide what to get and how to modify (who has food restrictions), and was so good at checking in, grabbing straw wrappers, and making sure our drinks were always full. Even observing the people he served around us, he was fantastic! Hope he gets the recognition he deserves. The food is always pretty good here, although the silverware and plates are always having issues with stains or marks on them. But still, this is a classic spot that I always return to. read more

Always enjoyable at Cheesecake Factory! Had a girls lunch and it was easy to get a table on a random Wednesday before the lunch rush Service was good. They checked on us pretty often. We had to get the TikTok viral Cajun Salmon with extra sauce. It was pretty good! Salmon was juicy maybe a little dry in certain areas but that extra sauce helped. Heaping of mashed potatoes and corn. I recommend. I've always gotten the Louisiana chicken with bow tie pasta but you know TikTok recommended angel pasta and it was still good but definitely needed more sauce on the side. The angel pasta absorbs the sauce so quickly. But love the crispy chicken and flavor. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Chopped salad. Also another favorite. Love the amount of sauce, apple, blue cheese tossed in the salad. Love it! Linda's Fudge Cake to end the girls catch up date as usual. LOVE THEIR CHOCOLATE CAKE. YUM read more

Definitely on the pricier side for the amount of food and quality of food that they offer.. for 1 bowl & 1 appetizer, it was $42 thankfully we had a gift card... Besides the pricing... the food is usually pretty enjoyable. I got their spicy tuna on crispy rice which was yummy and my friend ordered their rice bowl (which was basically a more expensive bowl from CHIPOTLE). I appreciate the VARIETY of different foods they offer here BUT it's soooooo much variety that the menu becomes extremely daunting and there's no pictures either on the menu, so you have to read a lot to actually have an idea of what each dish offers. There is a HUGE AMOUNT of indoor seating along with a few patio tables available and a bar top. They also have very nice indoor restrooms here. I always appreciate the huge indoor seating and beautiful paintings they have here. It is very easy to accommodate large parties at this location. read more

Took my she n here for his birthday with fiends and family. Sat outside on patio which was nice for weather we were having. Our waiter was attendance and returned regularly for drink and bread basket refills. I love their bread and definitely overindulged on it! My pasta was good overall and appetizers were are tasty. We ordered four different cheesecake slices so everyone could share but key lime is and always has been my favorite! Nice place for a large gathering. read more

A very good CF experience. Although it was somewhat busy, our party was that as big as some other so I think we managed to sneak her way in and for a Sunday afternoon, it was a nice place for a late lunch early dinner. Our server was very friendly and kept things moving, which I know is difficult when you have several tables all indifferent states of their visit. I decided to try a couple of newer appetizers. One was the chicken and biscuits with the fried chicken strips and the other was the pork belly sliders. They were both very good, but I was especially impressed with the pork belly sliders as the pork belly was thin, but not too thin very crispy, and flavorful. CF has a way of putting together complementary flavor than I know that things don't make their huge menu if they don't have great taste. read more

I just love their delicious sweet cheesecake. Who is gonna count the calories? Not me! I was here was for late lunch. Our host always checked on us. Another server brought in our meal. Their menu is overwhelming....over the years we tried different entrees. Most of the time it is shareable. Ordered Complimentary Bread with butter. We can't even stop eating them especially when we are super hungry. CRISPY CRAB BITES - $13.95 Bite-Sized Little Crab Cakes Served with Mustard Sauce Mmm! We loved the appetizer with the dipping sauce. MACARONI AND CHEESE BURGER $20.95 Charbroiled and Topped with Our Creamy Fried Macaroni and Cheese Balls and Cheddar Cheese Sauce. Served with Lettuce, Tomato, Pickles and Onion - requested cooked medium with no veggies. It was filling and delicious. Lemonade - $5.75 SKINNYLICIOUS GRILLED BRANZINO $28.50 With Tomato, Basil, Shallots and Garlic. Served with Mashed Potatoes and Green Beans The grilled fish was fresh and delicious. I am used to eating spicy fish flavored but this one was something different. It was tangy Italian flavoring. Almost like Bruschetta....hahah Zero Proof Pineapple Mule -nonalcoholic $12.00 CINNABON® CINNAMON SWIRL CHEESECAKE $12.95 Layers of Cinnabor® Cinnamon Cheesecake and Vanilla Crunch Cake Topped with Cream Cheese Frosting and Caramel - Mmmm! Service was great. Ambiance was clean and nice. Finding parking was difficult between BJ and Cheesecake Factory because adjacent to this restaurant is blocked due to residential development coming soon. read more

Andy provided outstanding service during our business lunch today at The Cheesecake Factory. He was attentive, professional, and kept us updated on our food throughout the meal. He checked in regularly and made sure our glasses were never empty, all while allowing us to enjoy our meeting comfortably. His attention to detail and hospitality made for a great experience. Thank you, Andy we truly appreciated your excellent service! read more

Parking was ridiculous! We had to drive around the lots 5 times before we got lucky and someone one was leaving to the right of Dicks parking section!!! Luckily the wait was only 10 minutes for 3 of us to get a table. We were there to celebrate a birthday and the waitress put a candle on our cheesecake slice that the 3 of us shared. The mango key lime was delicious!!! It May replace my favorite raspberry white chocolate! I ordered the egg roll sampler, it was way too spicy! I could not finish it! My friend offered to exchange her cheeseburger egg rolls with me. I really loved the spring rolls I used to order all the time! Please bring it back! I also ordered hot black tea. The waitress never offered to bring more hot water. and I had to ask twice for cream & Splenda. read more

I already knew about the parking, so I decided to use Door Dash. The lunch Cajun Salmon "burnt ends", usually a plus for brisket, are not appealing on Salmon! Imagine crispy, sand-like bites of charcoal wedging between your teeth, so even non- burnt pieces still taste bitter - even with the Cajun sauce. Cork silk was prevalent in each bite of corn, as was a strong onion instead of butter flavor. The mash - imagine eating two-day-old, left-over, fresh-from-the-fridge, coagulated Thanksgiving mashed potatoes, but with skins & that's what I experienced. I used to be willing to pay for the white-pepper adorned asparagus grilled to perfection with a slight smoke flavor. Today the asparagus had no pepper, no grill marks or flavor - no longer worth the $8.95 for 11 spears. The pinky-finger length portion of sourdough was so hard, my gums bleed; but at least the one butter patty provided was plenty for the sourdough & squaw bread that comes with the meal. I normally won't eat from anywhere that the health dept violation mentions insects. And after this lunch that set me back $50, I won't be eating from CF again! read more

My most recent experience is based on a Happy Hour visit at CF Brea Mall. I'm currently making the Happy Hour tour of local venues in Brea that have included nearby Pacific Catch, North Italia, CPK, Red Robin, and Lazy Dog. So first (in a while) impressions was that this national franchise is primarily known as a group gathering/ celebration venue. That being said, the bar area is relatively small to compared to the surrounding restaurants in the mall area but is it cozy, darken , and efficient. I found the staff helpful and knowledgeable about their HH offering, service at a good pace, and the food (HH Burger with add on fries) delicious and hearty along with my HH beer. I will be back to try more of their menu! read more

FRAUD AND CREDIT CARD THEFT -- BEWARE! DO NOT RECOMMEND! I visited this establishment on Thursday, October 22nd, and shortly after paying my bill, I discovered that my credit card information had been compromised and fraudulent charges were made (OVER $800) We were seated at a back table near the kitchen entrance, directly against the service desk. The seating consisted of one chair and one half-booth. The female waitress who took my credit card was gone for an unusually long amount of time while processing the payment. Given the timing of the fraudulent activity, the circumstances are extremely concerning. I have reported the incident to Brea PD and my bank for investigation. I sincerely hope management reviews the surveillance footage from that date and investigates the female waitress who handled my card. I cannot say for certain how my card information was compromised, but the timing and circumstances of this incident are extremely concerning. Customers should not have to worry about their financial information being stolen when simply paying for a meal and tipping. PLEASE BE VIGILANT IF YOU CHOOSE TO VISIT. I strongly recommend taking extra precautions when paying here. It's incredibly disappointing and unsettling to feel that your financial security may have been put at risk at an establishment where you should be able to trust the staff. I would never want another customer to experience this. Be careful! read more

Had a great birthday dinner here tonight for our friend. She had a good time and we all enjoyed the food. All our meals were hot and fresh. One meal was kind of lukewarm but they took care of it and remade it immediately. It was ready back out in 7 minutes. They offered my friend a salad to hold her over until her entree was ready. I got the burger. Super on point with their "secret sauce". Fries were a little lukewarm but it's all good. Other friend got the Vodka pasta, Tex Mex Egg-rolls and Tuna. All our food was on point. Service was also perfect. Angel was on top of our table and we were never lacking anything. Drinks were always full, and our to go's were done well also. The check splitting and all that is always a pain to deal with. I understand why they only take 3 cards but the hostess should convey that as they seat the party. I know a lot of people come rolling in deep with 20 people plus so it's understandable they only take 3 cards. But overall great food and service. We all got cheesecakes to go and they all came out right. read more

Upon arriving we were greeted and seated almost immediately on a Monday night. Our server was amazing, I wish I would've got her name but she was very attentive, answered our questions, gave recommendations and was quick to check in. My fiancé ordered the orange chicken plate and I had the carbonara pasta. It was so good, my fiance finished his entire plate and started picking at my pasta after he loved the taste I gave him. For dessert we ordered a Dulce de Leche caramel cheesecake with mocha and caramel capuchinos. Such a great combo, I recommend trying a nice cheesecake with a coffee or hot chocolate! There's plenty of seating, it's located in the brea mall shopping center but the restaurant is outside the mall space. I've never had any issues with the many times I've visited, I will definitely continue to return! read more

Stopped by on Saturday, 04/18/26. My first time at this location and brought my parents for lunch! I also downloaded their new app so I have a free cheesecake slice award (with purchase). I reserved via the app and highly recommend that you do so, especially during peak hours. It was crazy busy on Saturday! We ordered the following: - 1 Baja carnitas bowl = $17.95 - 1 skinny chicken pasta = $21.95 - 1 skinny chicken soft tacos (comes with 3 soft tacos) = $17.50 - 1 Italian tiramisu cheesecake slice = FREE ($12.50 value) SUBTOTAL = $57.40 TAX = $4.45 TIP = $20 (CASH) OVERALL TOTAL = $81.85 The food was amazing! What I really like about the Cheesecake Factory is their endless menu option - so many entrees, drinks and desserts to choose from! Particularly, their skinnylicious menu is the best! Parking in this particular location is EXTREMELY TRICKY. read more

My husband got a gift card from work for Christmas, so i decided to place an order for pick up. For clarity, my 5 stars is based on my interaction with the staff at the pick up register only (I didn't catch her name). Unfortunately i scratched the gift card pin area a little too hard lol so i could not place an online order. So I called (dread) and the girl on the phone told me I could place a phone order and pay at the store without the pin, so that's what I ended up doing. The parking lot here is beyond chaotic, and had we not had a gift card, I would not have bothered. All the construction going on at the mall makes this area very congested and dreadful. Once inside I was greeted by the girl who took my phone order. She was very friendly and pleasant to talk to. She helped me with the gift card payment and brought me my to go order right away. I only ordered an appetizer for myself - the meatball sliders - which were surprisingly tasty. All that said, I think the food here is very overpriced and somewhat overrated, including the cheesecakes. This place is 3 stars max at best. read more

I visited The Cheesecake Factory with my sister on Sunday, August 16 around 4:30 PM, and despite the restaurant being extremely busy, we were pleasantly surprised by how smoothly everything went. Let's start with parking...we circled the lot three times before finally finding an open spot! Seeing the large crowd gathered near the entrance made us nervous about how long we would have to wait. However, once we walked inside, we were seated in less than five minutes after putting our name down. A few minutes after being seated, we were brought water and bread while we looked over the menu. My sister and I decided to split the dinner portion of the Asian Chicken Salad and also try the Spicy Tuna on Crispy Rice. While we waited for our food, our server brought us more bread. The sourdough was delicious, and the brown bread was soft and slightly sweet! When our food arrived, we immediately tried the crispy rice. Unfortunately, this was the most disappointing part of the meal. The rice was not crispy at all and seemed like it had been sitting for a while. For $20.95, receiving only four small not so great quality pieces felt overpriced and not justified. The spicy mayo drizzle was delicious, though, and was the highlight of the dish. The Asian Chicken Salad, on the other hand, was excellent. The portion was huge, the flavor was amazing, and the texture was perfect. I especially enjoyed the combination of the fried vermicelli noodles and mandarin oranges, which added a great contrast of crunch and sweetness to the salad. About halfway through our meal, the servers transitioned for the dinner shift. Both servers came to our table to introduce us to our new server, which was appreciated. Our new server was very kind, attentive, and efficient, and the transition was completely seamless. By the end of the meal, we were far too full to order cheesecake which is almost ironic when dining at The Cheesecake Factory! Overall, we had a good experience, especially considering how busy the restaurant was. Aside from the crispy rice, the food and service were excellent. I'll definitely be back soon, and next time, I'm saving room for cheesecake! read more

I tried their fried fish sandwich for the first time. I usually order the pasta, but I wanted to try something different this time. Unfortunately, I should've stuck with the pasta. The fish sandwich was definitely not what I expected and honestly pretty disappointing. I'd rather go to McDonald's and get a Filet-O-Fish. Their pasta is decent, so I'd recommend sticking with that. The fish sandwich, though, is not worth the money in my opinion. read more

Decent food, good service. I especially love their sangria the fruit is soaked in the wine, which makes it extra flavorful! The prices are pretty fair for the portions and dishes. If you're planning to go in the evening or on a weekend, I definitely recommend making a reservation, otherwise you can expect about a 20-30 minute wait. Their complimentary bread and butter is always a favorite! Make sure to save room for cheesecake. My favorite is the strawberry cheesecake,it's absolutely delicious! read more

The Cheesecake Factory always hits! This location is great. Service was good. I love how big the menu is at Cheesecake Factory. You can be craving pretty much anything, and they have it lol I was craving a lot of things and this was the perfect spot! I ordered the beet and avocado salad for me and the hubby to share. I like that one, he could take it or leave it. My husband doesn't really care for the beets and couldn't get past that being in the salad lol The salad was fresh and tasted good. That Ricotta Cheese Toast though!!! Holy smokes. It's amazing! The whipped ricotta is so creamy and delightful. The crunchy sour dough bread pairs perfectly with it. Together they are perfect. I would order this again and again! 10/10 Macaroni and cheese 7/10 I'm always disappointed by this one, and yet- I keep ordering it. That's on me. It's a basic tasting mac and cheese. Nothing really above average about it. I'm always left feeling not satisfied. I need to stop ordering this. Grilled salmon 9/10 The grilled salmon tasted good. It was cooked well. Nice size filet too! It came with potatoes and green beans. The potatoes were bland, so I added some butter. Fixed them right up lol Cheese quesadilla 6/10 The cheese quesadilla was pretty blah. It was soggy and didn't have enough cheese. There were chunks of green sauce or something inside, that I didn't care for. My husband didn't like it either. Fried mac and cheese 10/10 Amazing! The fried mac and cheese bites are great. These are my husband's go-to for Cheesecake Factory. He loves them! They are cheesy and crunchy. Overall, we love the Cheesecake Factory. Huge menu with some good items. read more

One of the prettier Cheesecake locations, which high ceilings and glass paneling. Their bar/lounge area is bigger compared to most as well. Conveneintly located off the freeway too. Parking appears full on weekends and it shares the parking with BJ's but not difficult to find a spot. Our waitress was Dolores and she was incredible. Attentive, kind, personable. We saw a slice of cheesecake being delivered to table next to us and Dolores was kind enough to share the details of the cheesecake, from crust to toppings. Food portions are big. The bread and butter are always a win, especially when it's served hot! We took home the banana cheesecake and the dulce de leche cheesecake. They were both incredibly delicious! A bit on the pricey side, but worth a treat to share. read more

Went here for my cousin's 21st birthday last Friday. A couple of things to highlight about the location there's a lot of construction happening at Brea mall so parking is pretty crazy. And there was a 2 hour wait which is out of the control of the staff. We also had a party of 26 people so there's that. Service was excellent for the size of the party we had multiple serving staff helping each other. Appetizers were good tried the avocado rolls at my end of the table. They were good. The consensus about the crab spread or dip was that it was not the best so I probably wouldn't recommend that appetizer. I didn't get a chance to get feedback from everybody else on the apps they ordered I know calamari was also delivered to the table. The bread was very warm on the second round I wish it was all just sourdough but that's just because it's my favorite. We were seated out on the back patio which does run against the street but it is elevated so there wasn't a lot of noise from the cars passing by conversations we're still able to be had without too much traffic noise. For the meals myself I ordered the orange chicken and decided to have it with the cauliflower. The one thing I would say is it wasn't as crispy as I thought it would be but it was still good meal a good amount of rice maybe a little more of the vegetables would have been nice but it was the perfect amount of hot and flavor the sauce was delicious. Again not as crispy as I thought it would be. Other guests were happy with their meals the salad portions are pretty big someone had the jambalaya and they thought it was okay. The classic burger ordered by my uncle was good. The cheesecake portions are huge definitely I would share them personally I was full and I didn't decide to get a piece myself. All in all great experience the staff took care of us with drinks and service was pretty quick once we were seated we weren't waiting long for meals or appetizers. That being said if you have a large party here you're going to be spending a lot of money. Of course you can budget if you're looking at costs but there were quite a few teenagers here and I'm not sure they have ever paid for a meal in their life. The bill total was over 1,300. With some people ordering cocktails some ordering appetizers that maths to over $50 per person plus your tip. I would definitely go back but wouldn't do it for a big large party like that. read more

I normally don't leave reviews, but my experience at The Cheesecake Factory in Brea was extremely disappointing. My party of three arrived around 7:00 p.m. We checked in and waited about 30 minutes to be seated, which wasn't a problem. Once we were seated, we were given menus and told our server would be with us shortly. Our waiter was very nice and polite, but the service was unbelievably slow from start to finish. It took a very long time before anyone came to take our order. We waited forever just to receive the complimentary bread, and every part of our meal seemed delayed. We literally arrived while the sun was still out and didn't leave until it was dark because of how long everything took. Unfortunately, the worst part of the evening happened when our food was being brought to the table. Food was accidentally spilled all over me, leaving my clothes dirty and smelling like the food for the rest of the night. Accidents happen, and I understand that, but it's how the situation was handled that really disappointed me. About 15 minutes later, a manager finally came over and simply said something along the lines of, "Well, it looks like you cleaned yourself off." There was no sincere apology, no offer to replace or clean my meal, and no attempt to compensate us in any meaningful way. Not even an appetizer, dessert, or part of my meal was offered to make up for the inconvenience. Considering food had been spilled all over me, I expected much better customer service. The lack of urgency and concern from management made me feel like my experience didn't matter. While our waiter was friendly, the overall service and the way management handled the situation were unacceptable. Spending several hours waiting for our meal, only to end the night covered in spilled food and leaving without the issue being properly addressed, is not the experience anyone expects when dining here. I hope this location takes customer service more seriously in the future. I left feeling frustrated, disappointed, and honestly undervalued as a customer. read more

The Cheesecake Factory - My favorite, my birthday dish "chicken Marseille " - Desserts Near Me - Brea, California

We visited this location on a Monday night, and despite the restaurant not being busy at all, it took forever for our food to arrive. The kids ordered chicken strips with fries, and the chicken was dark brown, as if it had been fried in old oil. It was also extremely hard and difficult to chew. On top of that, the prices were way too high for the quality of food and the small portions. Parking was another frustrating issue. Overall, a very disappointing experience. Poor food quality, slow service, overpriced meals, and inconvenient parking. I definitely would not recommend this particular location. read more

Food was amazing! Very delicious and worth the price! We ordered truffle honey chicken, Parmesan herb chicken, shepherd pie, and 2 drinks and it came out to 150$ after tip so a little expensive but a nice dinner. Our first server was quick and helpful but then when she went on break she left us with a server who forgot to ring in our appetizer and said "welp I saved you 15$" and I was sad. He offered to put the order in but by then it would come out after we're done with our entrées so we skipped it this time. The restaurant was very clean and comfortable. read more

Let me talk about my rating first. It's too bad I can't give it separate ratings. For food I give it a 3 stars and I will explain why. Because of our server Will B, I gave them a total of 4 stars. Will was very helpful and patient with us. We had another person that was late and actually never showed up. Will was great answering our questions and making suggestions. From our drink, appetizers and lunch items. Thank you Will B. As far as the food, we ordered a small plate appetizer of crab cake bites. I loved the serving size and the crab cakes were excellent. Small plates gives you the satisfaction of having appetizers but not too much that you get so full you can't eat all your food. The bread are still amazing. They were warm and soft. Our favorite is the squaw or brown bread. The wife's lunch item is a 4 cheese rigatoni pasta with chicken was amazing. We also got cheesecake to go. The cheesecake as always is creamy and wonderful. For my brunch item the jambalaya over rice with eggs, it was lacking flavor, like salt, jambalaya sauce and level of spicy and it needed more protein. Not enough sausage and chicken and maybe needed more broth or juice. Too much potatoes. read more

**TO-GO / CURBSIDE REVIEW ONLY** ONLINE (4/5): Super user friendly website to either have your order PICKED-UP CURBSIDE or DELIVERED. I'm always overwhelmed by the menu at this place. THEY HAVE SO MANY OPTIONS!!! I guess it's a good & bad thing? Good because tons of options for everyone, bad because how can you perfect that many varieties of dishes in my mind? There is a place for notes, but you're not allowed to make requests that would alter the price, which sucks. What if I want to add something? I'm happy to pay more if there was an option for it. Downside of ordering online. CURBSIDE (5/5): I've never done curbside pick-up here before so when I pulled up to the front of the restaurant I didn't see any marked parking spots. When I drove around, then I saw one empty spot with a sign and it was the curbside parking. It's kind of hard to see if it's full or you're not actively looking, the trees cover some of the signs. If all the spots were full, I would have never known where those parking spots were. I arrived slightly early, but my order came out about 5-10 minutes after I arrived. It was quick, painless, and easy! FOOD (3/5): Packaging made the food look worse than it was since it shifted during the drive home and it's a big container with no separation. FREE BREAD & BUTTER: I love that they still give you a to go order of their RYE & WHITE bread! I got 2 tiny blocks of butter, wish there were a few more. I use a lot of butter. But delicious none-the-less! $31 STEAK DIANE: cubes of steak covered in peppercorn sauce and mushrooms. Comes with mashed potatoes. No sauce for the potatoes only the steak. It was good! Mashed potatoes were nothing special, but I liked the steak and mushrooms. $13 STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE: simple yet delicious! Just a plain cheesecake with a few sweet strawberries on top. One of their most popular and also my favorite cheesecake here! I'm a simple woman. read more

The Cheesecake Factory - Raspberry lemon drop - Desserts Near Me - Brea, California

Surprisingly GREAT FOOD! I typically am not a fan of Cheesecake because it has such a big menu which means most of the food is mediocre, so I have not been here in a very long time, but I was very surprised on this visit. I ordered the Louisiana Chicken Pasta, Tomato Basil Pasta, and Avocado Eggrolls The Louisianan chicken pasta was cooked to perfection. The chicken came out hot and crispy, and the pasta sauce was hot and flavorful. No complaints on this dish, I would highly recommend. The Tomato basil pasta was very good, the entire dish came out hot and had a ton of flavor. Both pasta dishes were a nice size, enough to give you lunch for the next day. The avocado Eggrolls were good, and the sauce provided was also good; however, the pair together seemed kinda off, the flavors didn't mix well for me. But I would still recommend this dish because the egg rolls by themselves were good. Overall, I haven't been the Cheesecake Factory in a while, but if the food is like this consistently then I would highly recommend to come here. Keep in mind this place is on the pricey side. The ambiance is casual, and the staff were friendly and attentive. I will definitely be back and hopefully I have another great review. read more
