This place was a complete nightmare tonight. Sat at the bar, ordered a drink for my wife and I. I will admit, we have excellent bar service. Tonight though, the bartender was by himself and he was bitching about his workload, amount of drinks ordered, what were being ordered etc. His mind was solely getting drinks out to the restaurant and not on his customers sitting at the bar. We had to get our own menus from down the bar. We ordered meals, 45 minutes later...no meal. I asked the bartender to check on our meals. He asked his manager to check on the meals. She never came back. My beer glass had been empty for 20 minutes. Finally, the bartender asks me if I wanted another beer...I laughed and said "I want my food". He responded pathetically with "i'm cooking it as fast as I can". Then he said "I asked my manager to check on it." Like he was put off by us asking where the heck our meal was. We ended up paying for the drinks and leaving. A beer and a cheap glass of wine was over $30 bucks. There are simply too many places to eat and to be treated as poorly as we were...we will take our business elsewhere from now on. Goodbye Cheesecake Factory. Save your money and time. read more

13 of us went at 1130 am Saturday. It wasn't busy yet. It got busy later. All the food was reported good. Ambiance we nice. Waitress was great. I had the Green Chilaquiles with Carnitas and eggs. It was great and plentiful. I took half home. It was pork and toppings over a large mound of scrambled eggs. I would get it again. Three entrees and one slice of cheesecake to go, after taxes and tip was $107. read more

Stopped here for lunch while shopping at the Kenwood Mall. I made reservations online prior to heading to Kenwood to ensure we were able to get seated rather quickly due to this being a popular location. The Cheesecake Factory chain is known for their eclectic/Egyptian/Victorian decor and architecture, which makes for a stunning and unique dinning experience. We checked in at the host stand and waited about 10 minutes before I got a text that our table was ready, which we were directed to. I did a little research prior to getting to the restaurant since their menu is so big. The menu almost feels like a novel and can be a tad bit overwhelming. Including the over 25+ cheesecakes and desserts to choose from. So keep that in mind! We skipped ordering appetizers since it was lunch and we had more shopping to do. My girlfriend and I ordered the same thing - the lunch portion of the Louisiana Chicken pasta. All I can say is this pasta SLAPS. It is so good. I had seen a lot of folks raving about it online and it definitely met my expectations. Not too spicy but packs just the right amount of heat to enjoy all the flavors. The chicken was cooked perfectly. Juicy and crispy, which made for the perfect bite when paired with the bow tie pasta. I would definitely order this again. Even though we ordered the lunch portion, it was still a generous serving and I was stuffed once I reached the bottom of the bowl. Of course, we couldn't leave without getting cheesecake. Since we were so stuffed from lunch, we ordered ours to go. We went with the Tiramisu cheesecake and it was delicious! Not too sweet like some of the other options they have. I would get it again. Service was pretty good considering how busy they were during the Sunday morning rush. Nothing spectacular though. read more

Crap. I'm sorry. Cheesecake Factory used to be the whip back in the day. Wings suck. Breaded and dry and served cold. Wife's fried chicken salad was hard as a rock. Daughter's kids cheeseburger sliders were garbage. Best part was the bread at the beginning and my Coke Zero. At this price point it should not be like this. Waitress was nice and attentive. We didn't tell her how bad the food sucked as I don't even think she could rectify the situation. Sorry Cheesecake Factory. I think I'm done forever. read more

I actually love this location and my food has always been delicious. I went light today, but typically I'm a bit more adventurous. Our server was fabulous and we also got to see our favorite server so that was a plus!! The only complaint I have about Cheesecake Factory in general is the volume of 1/2 booth 1/2 table situations so I often wait for a table. But honestly it's preference not a problem. This is a perfect dessert spot but make sure to choose food or dessert or plan to take your dessert home!! read more

I was craving some crusted Romano chicken, and this place always delivers the best. I made a 3:45pm reservation and we were promptly seated right on time. Impressive, considering it was a busy Saturday for Kenwood Mall. It wasn't long before we were brought bread & butter, along with our drinks. All of the food was terrific, aside from my 25 yr old daughter saying her spinach dip was lacking in thickness. I was erroneously brought the dinner portion for my order and the manager was quick to say she would only charge the lunch portion price and for me to keep the entire order. Great customer service! It was very busy, but it wasn't too loud. We were well taken care of. I can't wait to go back! Tip: if you've not tried their Alfredo sauce for the crusted Romano chicken instead of the red sauce, you're missing out! And order extra sauce. ;) read more

Don't be surprised if you don't get your entire order when ordering take out and don't be surprised when the manager says she will email you a gift card and doesn't and you have to call back to get said gift card and still haven't received it . Customer service sucks at this location. read more

The food was good but we got tired of waiting for it & my husband took his to go. I got the fish & chips, which I regret. The service was hit or miss. The manager did give us a piece of cheesecake, which was nice, but we are done with Cheesecake. Ambiance is starting to show wear & tear. read more

The good? So far the service has been excellent. The food ( appetizers ) are LUKE WARM at best. The dining room is cold because the air is on. It is 60 degrees (F) outside. The last time I was at a Cheesecake Factory there was plastic in my Chicken Marsala. Before that my steak was on the grill too long. I'm done....and I haven't paid for the meal yet. I am really done. We made reservations. We were on time , 8:30pm. We did not get our food until 9:24pm. My Fish and Chips were cold. My grandson's "medium well" steak was "medium rare.." and not even warm. The rice in my other granddaughters dish was hard, she could pick up the whole lump.... No. Done. I do not see the draw anymore. We paid $238 plus the tip of $46. We don't have an issue with the server. It wasn't their fault the food or the wait were "not in sync...". Do they even allow the servers to even keep their tips? I hope so.... The KITCHEN needs new management. Done with Cheesecake Factory. No more Stars...! read more

Tried to get a late lunch today @ 230pm, no line, no wait, WRONG [This is the 6th and last time at this location] Host said high tops in bar available now a wait for table to be cleared. 10 minutes, no others waiting. Host 2 walkthru's nothing cleared or changed. We could see clean set tables and service occuring and dirty as well. One host no visible manager. Food is good! BUT In 5 minutes we drove to Cooper Hawk, we were seated and had drinks within 10 minutes. We have tried Liberty Cheesecake and great. service there. KENWOOD CHEESECAKE, Lost my business read more

I am not much of a dessert person, but we had a gift card. Glad we drove the extra few miles. Went there for lunch. My wife had the chicken fettuccine alfredo and thought it was very good. I had the french dip cheeseburger. Wow, that was great. The crispy bun, and sauce they put on it made it a standout sandwich!! Of course, my better half loved the cheesecake. They were busy, but the service was excellent. It's been quite a while since we have been to the Cheesecake Factory. It was a bit fancy. Probably would dress up a bit if we went for dinner. read more

We walked in and were greeted with huge smile. We were seated almost immediately. Our waiter greeted us within seconds of us sitting down. Our waiter has been very attentive, polite and helped us with the menu. If he didn't have an answer, he would ask the chef. (We had a question about an ingredient in one of the dishes for allergy reasons.) A manager just came out to let me know they put gravy all over my food, when I requested none. So now we have to wait an additional period of time. Hopefully it's worth the wait. Well!!!! It was most definitely worth the wait. Everything from the corn, to the meatloaf, the steak, mashed potatoes and everything else; was delicious. If I had any complaint at all, it would be that it was quite chilly inside. read more

I came in for lunch and ordered a salad which had corn on it. I found a hair in my salad, the waiter was fairly rude and took the word of his manager, a woman by the name of Leah Brown, who told him the hair was actually a corn silk. I know exactly what corn silk looks like, and yes, it was on the plate too, but I knew what it was. It's pale yellow. The hair was pitch black and super curly. Honestly, it was the waiter's hair. Instead I got told I was wrong. This is not a professional way to handle a problem. I'm a very intelligent person, lying to me just makes sure I won't return and will put you on blast. She should be fired. read more

The thing I love the most about the cheesecake factory is that you are going to get a GREAT portion of food EVERY TIME. During my past visit, I had the Smashburger and it was the best burger I've had in a while, which I was not expecting to get from the cheesecake factory. The sauce that came with it was great and I love sweet potato fries so I'm glad they had that as an option. The service was good and they had multiple people tending to our table. I felt a little bad because I told the server about my nut allergy after the fact, so hopefully I didn't cost her too much stress because she mentioned that now they had to start my order over and that I should've told her beforehand, which is fair. I feel like the ambience is always the same in the Cheesecake Factories I've been to so it's nice to see consistency there. read more

My friend and I have always wanted to try The Cheesecake Factory, and boy were we surprised. They have so many menu options. Our server, Ryan was really patient with our questions.

So, some friends and I went to Cheesecake Factory last week. Some of us had brunch, and some had regular menu items. Everyone seemed to enjoy their food. We ordered omelets, salads, salmon, rice cakes, and a pasta. The salads are HUGE. You could eat off of it a couple of times, so I would order dressing on the side instead of them putting it on there. The salmon looked delicious, and she ate it all! It was my first time having the buffalo bites and they were pretty darn good! They are basically fried buffalo chicken dip bites, but the portion was so big. My Louisiana chicken pasta was good, but I did have to ask for more sauce. I do feel like the sauce needed more substance. It was kind of thin, and I would have preferred something a little thicker that would actually stick to the pasta. The breakfast looked amazing, and there were no complaints. The rice cakes were ok, the crab meat was a little fishy, but I's try them again. It was busy in there, as always! But the staff was very friendly. I always love how open the space is at Cheesecake Factory, so the ambiance was nice. I would try the brunch, even though I got pasta this time. Overall, the place has a huge menu selection, which sometimes makes it hard to choose what you want to eat, but there is something for everyone. read more

I come for the Bible of a menu. It's just fun to browse the endless spiral-bound laminated book of appetizers, entrees, desserts, and then some. Avocado spring rolls are delicious and I'm not even an eggroll fan. Disappointed with the cauliflower app and wished it was more tangy but I'll live. At lunch, we went for the dinner portion of pasta because... why not. You don't come here without gluttony in mind. Jambalaya pasta is creamy, a little spicy, and satisfying. Ok, if you are watching what you eat, they have the skinnyliciois options. My fav is the Thai lettuce wraps. Cant go wrong. Finish up with some strawberry cheesecake for the fruit and dairy and you've basically satisfied the old food pyramid from back when. Service was great especially given the crowds. The restaurant is clean and well managed. We had a great lunch date. read more

It's beautiful inside. Our food hot & tasty. It worth waiting to be seated as well getting food.

Drinks are pretty good, the cocktails weren't very strong but had good flavor. The turkey burger was small and dry, the worst thing Bob has had in a while. The chicken taquitos were great and so was the flatbread. The potstickers are a good light start as well. The service was only okay at best, took a while to get served and get any drinks or food. The atmosphere in the bar is good and they have a good happy hour. read more

3.5 stars. It's the Cheesecake Factory. A mass market experience and all that comes along with it, good and bad. I feel this location is pretty representative of the chain. Pro Fair prices and huge portion sizes that they are always willing to box up Consistent food Cheesecake - there's a reason they are famous Waiters are normally proficient at their work Con Service that isn't related to the wait staff is inconsistent at this location - most recently we had to wait fifteen minutes for the famous bread, had to wait five more minutes in line to be seated after getting told our table was ready, etc. Wait times Neutral Food quality is mid and masked by butter and salt - which is expected with a gigantic menu with mainly frozen food You can do better but you can do worse. It's comfort food. read more

This restaurant can be quite commercial and not feel special. I came in after a very long day at work and needed to get Xmas shopping done. Wanted dinner and a cocktail before. The bartender Haley F. was excellent! She was very busy the entire time and paid great attention to all her customers at the bar. It's holiday season and this place is so busy, I was so blown away by her customer service and speed. Was taken back when I realized she was expecting a baby in just two months! I haven't had this good of service in a long time! Kudos to her! Congrats on your baby! My meal and alone time was wonderfu Merry Christmas! read more

Buffalo Blasts Have Me in a Chokehold I don't know why it took me this long to try the Buffalo Blasts, but I am officially obsessed. Like... actually where have these been all my life? I've been stuck on my usual Alfredo order (also amazing), so maybe that's why I never made it deeper into their novel-length menu. The Cheesecake Factory is just one of those places where the food never misses. Huge menu, everything's hot, everything giving what it needs to give. I remember when the cheesecake was $7. Now it's... well... not $7. But I digress. Bottom line: Cheesecake Factory is great. The Buffalo Blasts are elite, the Alfredo never disappoints. Pricey? A little. Worth it? Absolutely. read more

Had a family gathering Saturday for my youngest grandson. The accoustics are terrible in there, thus we had to yell to talk to each other. My Bistro Burger was not good. The roll it was served on was so toasted that it was hard as a rock and hurt my mouth to bite it. The burger wa supposed to have caramelized onions, which I could not find, and the arugula was in a separate plastic cup and totally wilted and not interesting. The fries were good. My DIL gave me her left over asparagus to take in my doggie bag. They were crap, just like twigs of wood. My grandson had fish and chips and he had a seriously small thimble full of tartar sauce for dipping that didn't even look fresh or appetizing. The waitress did a good job of getting our orders correct. In general I sensed a downturn in the quality of the food since I have been there last in 2022. read more

Ended up sitting at the bar because the wait was over an hour and a half. Bartender was awesome and provided great service. We tried the chicken parm sandwich and the French dip burger. Both had good flavor. Fries came out cold unfortunately. The Tex Mex egg roll appetizer is the absolute best, but I don't think we will be heading back soon. If you're shopping at Kenwood, I recommend putting your name in early and continuing shopping while you wait. read more

Things started off well here. We made a reservation online which was very easy to do. We were seated right away when we got there. Like most of the other Cheesecake Factories, this place is immense and very much overdone in decoration! Kind of a maze just to find the restrooms! My boyfriend and I enjoyed some delicious food for the most part. I had the Steak Diane which tasted excellent and was and was very flavorful. He had one of the protein clubs with a salad. But if you check out my picture of the salad, it did not look good. You can see how wilted it is. The next day he had food poisoning for three days straight. So even though most things tasted well and our server was very friendly and helpful, we probably are not hurry to come back here. Not after this. I can't believe that salad was actually sent out. You can just see how wilted it is and in the end, it made him sick. Just beware of the food here is all I have to say. read more

Our visit to the Cheesecake Factory brought us good food but long waits. The ambiance is the same across all other Cheesecake Factories, but as we came in for an early lunch we saw that not all tables were filled. Of course one of the best views is the cheesecake counter full of the different types of cheesecakes that they produce. As we went in during lunch time, we ordered from the lunch menu which still had quite a few options. The bread you first get when you sit at the table did not last long at our table, however in asking for another one to go with the entree, it took a lot of asking to remind the waiter of the bread which we waited for to eat the pasta entrees. The entire experience was not bad as the food was filling and decent but we were also not crowded over with people all around us. read more

This is a beautiful place. Short handed as is everyone. I enjoy the food and the atmosphere here. Our server was great & was on top of everything and didn't even have to write down anything. Everything was right on, hot and tasty as usual. We were also offered dessert after dinner. Although there are endless choices of cheesecake we decided to pass. Only since we were full and planned to shop the mall that it's attached to. If you don't love Cheesecake don't worry, there are other choices. These menus are humongous. It would probably be a good idea to familiarize yourself with the menu online before going. There hasn't been one bad choice in its entirety throughout the years. Everything tastes wonderful every time. All the servers did not look happy. A smile can go a long way and could bring many more rewards. read more

I stopped by The Cheesecake Factory at Easton (Columbus) and grabbed a piece of cake to go. I got home and realized someone seemed odd about my cake. It tastes fine but most of the bottom crust is missing. I'm not sure if the crust was incomplete during prep of if this occurred during packaging. It is disappointing to pay $10.95 for a slice of cake and not get the entire piece. UPDATE: I spoke to the manager who listened kindly, checked the cake in the case, and refunded my money. read more

Per Cheesecake Factory email, Friday was National Carrot Cake Day. We love carrot cake and thought to make a reservation for dinner to enjoy a slice after our meal. Couldn't book a 6:30 slot so we went next door for dinner and decided to pick up a slice after. Well, the restaurant was so busy it took a good 25 minutes to even be waited on to order the slice to go. After one of the wait staff gave us a little attention and confirmed it was National Carrot Cake day (though no special pricing for any), we finally got our slice. The guy didn't get it from the counter but from the back somewhere. The slice was half the size you'd get if you dined in AND it was super cold if not frozen, days old and stale. This is the 2nd time this place has failed us (the other was at the Liberty Center location). We loved the Cheesecake Factory in the past but they are truly becoming a let down at record speed. read more

Only been the one time, but now I know what the hype is about! Service was excellent, ambience was amazing--as you felt like you weren't in Cincinnati, but in some fancy resort restaurant! Food was excellent and then after all the great food, made mistake of ordering a cheesecake-of all things... should have asked how big the pieces were first. Couldn't finish the last 2 bites or so I was so full. Would eat here again definitely. read more
