BBQ Pork Belly Buns
William M.

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.

Crispy Crab Bites
Jagruti L.

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.

"Happy Hour" Burger* **
Hiron J.

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!

Shrimp scampi. So delicious!!
Michaela G.

Had an amazing lunch! Service was great. The shrimp scampi I ordered was so delicious. I also love the brown bread in the bread basket.

Oreo Dream Extreme Cheesecake
Thomas T.

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.

Orange Chicken
Jennifer F.

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!

Ben P.

Met up with friends for lunch. Always love going to The Cheesecake Factory. As you would expect. The restaurant is well maintained. Very clean and elegant. We had a reservation and was quickly seated. Staffs were welcoming when we arrived. We ordered the Asian Chicken Salad and Spaghetti with Meatballs. Both were great. Look forward to coming back in the future.

SkinnyLicious Asian Chicken Salad (dinner portion) Spicy Tuna*
Alexa D.

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!

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.

Meatball Sliders
Nadia M.

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.

Crispy Brussels Sprouts 8/10
Lily A.

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!

My favorite Chicken Cobb Salad with ranch dressing and blue cheese chunks all mixed up.
Chris P.

Wonderful day out and stopped by one of our favorite places for a late lunch early dinner. For some reason the bread was better than ever this time and my salad was perfectly prepared just the way I asked. So many choices of cheesecake its almost impossible to choose. Service was great and prompt.

The crispy orange cauliflower with the vegetables and rice
David B.

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.

They offer a wide selection of alcoholic beverages and their food menu offers several options for various palettes.

To be honest, the Bacon and Brie burger was also really good. I love Brie, so putting it on a burger was heavenly. The only thing that left a bad impression was my napkin; it smelled of the stench of wet dog. The whole napkin and every inch of it. I noticed immediately wiping my mouth with it! I thought I may be crazy, but my husband gave it a sniff all around and agreed. It smelled awful and made me question the cleanliness of the spot. Macallans Public House would definitely be a revisit for my husband so I would likely revisit with him if he really wanted to stop by in the future.

Third time is a charm!…read more This was our third visit to Lazy Dog this year, and each visit has had a celebration attached to it. Tonight, we were continuing my granddaughter's weeklong celebration of her 11th birthday--and apparently, the third time really is the charm! Our previous two visits fell all the way short in the service department, so I arrived hoping for the best but emotionally prepared for more of the same. Thankfully, Sandra completely changed that experience for us. She was friendly, attentive, patient, and genuinely made us feel cared for throughout the entire meal. Watching my notoriously picky granddaughter try several new things made the night even more special--and honestly, that alone deserves its own five-star review. My kiddo and I are already mourning the loss of the Campfire Cookies from the menu, but the Banana Pudding and S'mores Brownie helped soften the blow. Both desserts were a hit, although the Banana Pudding officially took home the "Favorite of the Night" award. That bowl never stood a chance! Our booth was clean. The food was delicious, my granddaughter had a wonderful time, and Sandra's customer service was truly the cherry on top. After three visits, Lazy Dog finally got it right--and Sandra is the reason this birthday celebration earned five stars. Give that woman her flowers...or at least the best section and a raise!

I would not go here normally, I initially wanted to go to shake shack but this was a company lunch and I was overruled. We basically only went here because it had a large seating area. Overall 3/5, all the points are for service because Grant did very well in service for our table of 20.

The restaurant itself is beautiful and in a great location, but the food, service, and overall experience were disappointing. I ordered the filet medium rare, and it came out extremely burnt on the outside while still very undercooked and almost bleeding in the center. When I mentioned it, they initially offered to "throw it back on the grill," but since the outside was already burnt, I declined and asked for a fresh steak. The replacement took about 30 minutes, after we had already waited roughly 40 minutes for our original food. We also rarely saw our server throughout the meal, although his assistant was very kind and attentive. The potatoes and asparagus were overcooked, lacked flavor, and overall the sides were underwhelming as well. What surprised me most was still being charged for the steak after it took two attempts and I barely ate it. For a restaurant with such strong reviews and a high price point that comes with it, I expected much better quality and service. I understand many people seem to love this place, but based on my experience, I would be unlikely to return and personally would not recommend it.
