This is a long read. But maybe it'll help someone. But Cmon Cheesecake Factory. You gotta do better! First and foremost, you'll notice the trend and consistent feedback here in the reviews that having a reservation means absolutely nothing. Why bother?! CF sends out a ton of text reminders beforehand, then you get there and wait! Not just a little wait. It took us nearly 30 mins to get seated despite having a reservation. The front desk staff are absolutely useless! Snarky, grumpy, zero idea how to treat or talk to customers. They also gave our table to other people--twice!! They were arguing amongst themselves. One girl telling us we were next then another taking other families back.. Also, Just terrible attitudes. 20 mins of waiting after our reservation we dared ask for an update and her response? "you're already checked in. You don't need to ask me" Nice. Management ought to make some front of house changes ASAP. It's clearly ruining your Yelp review score! So we order for 8... 3 of the same chicken dishes are among them. Waiter comes back "sorry, there's only two of those left". So someone in our party changes their order. Waiter goes to put the order in. Comes back. "Sorry, now there's only 1 of those left." Sigh. When it does arrive, it's completely different! Waiter says "Sorry, they ran out of the type of chicken in that dish so they just substituted it and did the best they could" - uhhhhhh. So what you meant to say is they ran out of ALL remaining (3) of that dish and the kitchen just guessed after the order was in. Shoutout Jarod, our waiter. Doing the best he could with disappearing dishes and a kitchen staff who seemed to be the epitome of a shoulder shrug. The place was busy and he handled well despite possibly having too many tables assigned. Despite food not being available still in the 20 seconds our waiter went to put the order in, the food that did make it was really very good. No complaints. Portion sizes are massive, drinks are refilled. Really can't complain too much there. It's consistent CF and as expected. But yikes corporate. Boot the people up front making terrible first impressions on your guests. Honor actual reservations--that's why we make them. read more

Probably wouldn't leave a review except the narrative has turned so negative on this place and wanted to share my experience was completely opposite. Went Friday, 9-2-2026 at around 8:00 p.m. We had a 2 minute wait in the door. We were greeted at the table within 5 minutes. Service was EXCELLENT. I ordered the rigatoni vodka. A lil spicy and very delicious. My girlfriend ordered the avocado egg rolls. We both had Mai Tais that were very tasty. I'm not being dismissive of others' feedback, but it does appear there has been an effort to address the previously reported issues here. We had a great experience and we'll be coming back. read more

I ordered Stuffed Mushrooms, FettucinI Alfredo and my Husband ordered Shepherds Pie. The stuffed Mushrooms were the smallest stuffed mushrooms, with a strange black, bland stuffing, and what looked like the actual stuffing based on color, outside of the mushroom, It tasted sweet which was very off putting. I took it home and put one of them on a plate to show the size and color. The pasta was grainy and the Shepherds pie had large chunks of mystery meat that had a weird smell. My advice? unless you want your stuffed mushrooms so small that they serve them on a contact lense, avoid the place at all costs! And that cost will set you back about $67 not including tip! read more

Hey Cheesecake Factory-- where's my credit card? I came for dinner with my brother after a rough week and the server either lost or stole my credit card after I paid and tipped for the meal. The manager was completely dismissive, unhelpful, and rude. He and the server were defensive and he even became irritable when I brought up the issue. He just kept saying "this unfortunately happens from time to time". I've never even heard of this happening at any other restaurant. There was no attempt to help or make restitution of any kind. The manager's closest attempt at being mildly helpful or sympathetic was promising to call at the end of the day to update me, but he never actually did. They could not be bothered to put in any effort. I'm panicking trying to figure out how to get to work this week when I can't pay for gas without my card. It would be one thing if there was any kind of real apology made-- accidents happen-- but all they could manage was irritation and indifference after they caused me a ton of panic and a massive inconvenience. There's a reason this is one of the lowest rated Cheesecake Factory locations you'll find. I'd give 0 stars if I could. For better food, service, price, and odds of leaving with your credit card, visit any other establishment in the mall. My family, friends, and I will not be returning. read more

Meh, we made a reservation at 3 o'clock and received an email confirmation of the reservation. But when we showed up at the restaurant, they said they didn't have a our reservation even when after we showed them the email that confirmed the reservation. Even if it didn't show in their system for great Customer Service, they should've said ok let us just let us get your table ready and we wouldn't have known the difference but instead we were treated poorly , even though we had the proof of the reservation. Service was actually really good after that and the food was great read more

We went, and they asked if we wanted to sit at the bar. We politely declined, so they sat us elsewhere. There we waited 30 minutes for anyone to come help us, and no one did. No water, no order taken, and no acknowledgements when we left from the greeting staff who put us there. We were essentially ghosts holding menus. read more

First of all, cheesecake factory has the biggest menu ever so if u can't find anything there, you are very picky! They do have lunch specials which I ended up getting the chicken piccata with angel hair pasta. I loved the lemony piccata with capers. It was really good. The only issue I had was I wish they had more sauce to add to the pasta but overall I really enjoyed it! And the service was great! read more

We were here for over TWO HOURS. Our waiter, Josh R, was extremely odd and made us feel very uncomfortable with his comments. It took awhile to get our food. Which was average. read more

I was very impressed with this location. I've been to the Murray location and it's always hard to get into and overly crowded. The wait wasn't horribly and the service was quick. Our server gave us good recommendations. They also have a lunch menu that's cheaper and smaller portions. I ordered some pasta off the lunch menu and I really enjoyed it. The Oreo cheesecake and s'mores cheesecake were delicious! read more

Chicken Gumbo is a mis-nomer, for they do not make a roux. It is not gumbo. At best, it is flavorless tomatoes and rice, with proteins added in without any seasoning. Very bland, and a disservice to the name 'gumbo'. The Louisiana chicken pasta is a better way to go. read more

I will never order from The Cheesecake Factory again. Not only was I ignored while waiting for my DoorDash order, but the restaurant has a small room tucked away in the back corner specifically for delivery drivers to wait in. Unfortunately, it felt more like a place to hide dashers than to help them. Several of us were waiting there for extended periods of time with little to no communication from staff. I ended up waiting 30 minutes just to get attention regarding my DoorDash order, and then an additional 45 minutes for the food itself. Throughout the entire process, there were no meaningful updates, apologies, or explanations for the delay. I understand that restaurants can get busy, but ignoring delivery drivers and leaving them waiting in a back room for over an hour is unacceptable. Delivery drivers' time matters too, and delays like this affect both our earnings and our customers. Very disappointing experience and extremely poor customer service. I will not be accepting orders from this location again. read more

Manager was great! Super understanding and gave us cheescake for our birthdays even thought we didnts have the app! Food was fantastic

Busy as expected, but incredible service, delicious food and great atmosphere. The Mac and cheese balls were hot, delicious and everything we wanted. Our meals were giant and the delicious cheesecake was ordered to go! Great place and an all around incredible experience. read more

We arrived at 10:58am on a Friday and were literally the first people in the door. We (party of 2) were sat quickly as expected but the rest of the visit took a life time. Every step of the way became more and more frustrating. You know the feeling when you watch tables get sat and get their food and checks all while you wait. Again we were the first table in the restaurant... on purpose so we could be in and out quick. I'll leave it at that. Whatever. Food was fine. What you expect coming here. Edit. A restaurant with two managers on shift but not available to the staff is going to have issues. I bumped it to 2 stars specifically for the unavailability management. read more

It was my fiancé and I's first time at this chain restaurant. And overall, it did not live up to the hype. Maybe it's the dishes we chose or could be because of how new this establishment is. For appetizers we ordered chicken potstickers and the egg roll sampler. The pot stickers were room temperature and had a unique flavor that we couldn't decide if we liked. The egg roll sampler was good and we do recommend. My entree...I honestly should have asked our waitress to take it back. The steak was tough and the tortillas rubbery. Both the black beans and rice had NO flavor. (Yes I know it's rice but, I was expecting cilantro lime. Menu nor waitress specified.) Three stars instead of 2 because our cheesecake dessert was actually the best thing we had and would go back for just that. read more

It was my granddaughters birthday. We were excited to celebrate with her, she picked cheesecake factory in Orem to have dinner on Sunday with the family. We called ahead and the hostess said the best time to come is 4 o'clock. They could most likely seat all 10 of us quickly. So we decided we would all meet at 4 o'clock. As I got there at 3:40, I checked in with the hostess she seemed irritated. There were 10 of us. She said it would be a while before they could even seat us. She suggested maybe we eat outside on the patio, today was in the high 90s and I did not want to sit on the patio. I told her we would wait for a table. (They didn't look busy and had a lot of empty tables) She seemed irritated, I did not want to be on the patio, so she told me she could have us seated by 4:30 and to let her know when the whole party arrived. I went in at 4:05 and tell them our whole party was here, the other lady which I thought maybe was a manager was quite rude and said we were quoted 30 min. that we wouldn't be seated until 430 and we would just have to wait. I let her know that I was there at 3:40 and it was quoted we would be sat no later than 430 and to let her know when our whole party was there. We did not get seated until about 4:40! I would've left, but my granddaughter wanted to eat there for her birthday so we stayed! Our server was fantastic, very tentative and made our granddaughter feel special on her birthday! Our check came to almost $250.00 the food was amazing and again the waiter was fabulous. Our visit started out awful but the waiter turned it around! However I will definitely think twice before going in with a big group. The hostesses/ and I think manager needs more training on how to make their customers feel welcomed! read more

I love the Cheesecake Factory and I'm glad there's one by however it was a big disappointment. Hostess was not very good at communicating with us and wouldn't look at us when talking so it was a bit confusing especially when it's so loud. Waitress was friendly but did not tend to us very often especially with water refills. Took over 20 mins for bread to be served and it wasn't warm and tasted stale. Food was mediocre, ordered pineapple chicken and shrimp. It lacked sauce and shrimp, it was mainly an undercooked rice dish with a side of microwaved meat. I was also served the wrong cheesecake but didn't feel like waiting another 20+ mins. Not really worth it. Might as well drive to SLC. read more

I am an avid Cheesecake Factory goer.... Every time I go to the one in Orem, it's a terrible experience. Almost all waiters I've had have given bad service. Every single time we wait at least 20 minutes before someone even comes by to tell us to wait a little longer. And then they leave again. I only got one refill the entire hour and a half I was there which was bad too. I even had a situation where managers were talked to because the waiter was so bad. During this visit, the waitress forgot to put in our order for an appetizer but never even came back until we were done eating our main course so she didn't really check on us to realize that we didn't get our appetizer. Like all of the other bad reviews for this location, service is terrible and slow. The food is good, but that's all cheesecake factories. For the amount of money you pay to eat here it is not worth it. read more

First off, I understand mistakes happen. Not a big deal normally and it usually gets taken care of quickly and easily....unless its Cheesecake Factory! Ordered a bunch of cheesecakes online but one was missing from the order. I called that night and talked to a Maicy who was at the cheesecake station and she said she would tell a manager who would then credit it back. Refund never happened. Called a week later and talked to a manager named Quincy who said they didn't have a report on it that but she would take care of it. Said it would take 7-10 days for corporate to approve it. Never saw the refund. Called again on the 10th day and was again transferred to Quincy who said it has been approved by corporate but probably won't clear for another 10 days because corporate had been out of office so they are backlogged on the refunds. What the heck?? I don't know why a $13 credit has to take so long and starting to wonder if this is business ploy hoping people forget after they think it has been taken care of. Not ethical. I'm glad it's only over a $13 charge but I would watch your accounts people and instead of trying to get a credit just drive back to the restaurant and have them give you what was missing instead of this whole crazy deal. Lesson learned Cheesecake Factory! Check your order twice before leaving the store and don't count on a refund if you don't. read more

I don't know why they get such bad reviews, the food was just as good as the Fashion Place and the service was excellent. It was pretty empty for early dinner and they seated us immediately. Come by, give em a chance! read more

I will still eat here... BUT, I was VERY disappointed with my "free" birthday cheesecake. Basically, B1G1. For a $10 SLICE of cheesecake, it would have been nice for the strawberries to be fresh. Even my 9 year old noticed something was off. I knew the second I cut into the strawberry, that it was old and past its prime. I would've been embarrassed to serve this strawberry cheesecake with old, nasty, and inedible strawberries. read more

We put our name in at the front and they told us 35-40 min later. After an hour and watching many people get seating, we went and asked. Only because we asked, then asked to speak to a manager, did they finally seat us after 1 hour 8 min. They don't seat in order of you showing up, but seat even numbers first leaving us 3 top, waiting. So they were maximizing thie revenue and making us wait. And all they offered was a free dessert. WORST experience I have ever had, and I'm from out of town. read more

I had a lot higher expectations for cheesecake factory.

I've noticed in recent years that the menu at The Cheesecake Factory (all locations) has diminished and is definitely not like it used to be. My experience this past weekend hardened my resolve to not go back. At the new(er) Orem, UT location, we arrived about 5 PM on Saturday evening. We took one of the high tables in the bar area to avoid a (really, a pretty reasonable) 20 minute wait for a booth. The waiter was really great, but the entire operation was understaffed for a Saturday evening. It took abnormally long to get drinks, bread, etc. Appetizer was brought out AFTER entrees. But that's not the worst. We ordered the chicken green chile enchiladas - which I have ordered MANY times before. In the old days, it came with rice and beans, AND a delicious scoop of sweet cornbread, which, in many ways, was the highlight. It's been some years since the cornbread has been removed, to my dismay. My wife and I shared the plate. She had one enchilada and I had the other two. The presentation and flavor were just sub-par in every way this time. The chicken was dry, no sauce on the enchiladas, very bland, and so tough I had to cut them with a knife. The rice was dry and bland as well. It gets worse. About 9 hours later (2 AM-ish) my wife and I were both up with upset stomachs. About a half an hour later I started vomiting uncontrollably. The other guests that we took there had other dishes and did not get sick. The ONLY thing that my wife and I BOTH ate that day, in common, was that plate. Won't be going back. This chain has gone downhill in recent years, and there was something wrong with food prep/sanitation at this location this past weekend. read more

Was delivered my kids salads (that they've eaten dozens of times) and the chef mistakenly put HOT SAUCE on the salad instead of the BBQ sauce my son had an allergic reaction I brought the food back and the general manager and chef argued with me and said that the sauce just had "paprika" and refused to admit their mistake. They laughed at my frustration and did nothing to remedy the situation. Absolutely the most unprofessional experience and cheesecake should do better. Never go to the Orem location. read more

The Cheesecake Factory - No BBQ on the BBQ chicken salad. Straight HOT SAUCE - Steakhouses Near Me - Orem, Utah

Absolutely Horrible Experience - Never Again If I could give zero stars, I would. This was by far the WORST dining experience I've ever had. We came in as a party of 10 and were prepared to have a great night. Instead, we were met with a level of incompetence and disrespect I wouldn't wish on anyone. To start, it took FORTY minutes just to get water. Not drinks, not appetizers - just WATER. And from there, things went downhill fast. We waited over TWO HOURS for our food to arrive, only for it to show up cold and poorly prepared. Out of 10 meals, SIX had serious issues - wrong items, undercooked food, and missing ingredients. To top it all off, one person in our group NEVER received their food at all. Not late - just never showed up. When we tried to address this with the wait staff, we were met with attitude, eye rolls, and flat-out rudeness. And don't even get me started on the manager. Instead of apologizing or offering any kind of solution, they were dismissive and borderline hostile. It felt like we were inconveniencing them by being there. We spent hours at this restaurant and left hungry, frustrated, and furious. There was no accountability, no compensation offered, and no basic human decency. DO NOT waste your time or money here. There are too many good restaurants out there to put up with this kind of treatment. read more

We've eaten many times at Cheesecake Factories in different locations and have always enjoyed our meals. The restaurant in Orem was not good - we were so disappointed! The red headed hostess was extremely rude to us - she really shouldn't be the first person to greet people. The only good things was our waiter. He did a good job and was very efficient. The Oriental Chicken Salad was the worst I've ever had - the lettuce was old and very soggy. The dressing did not taste like the dressing on previous salads - it really didn't have any taste, just soggy! The Chicken Madara was not good - the sauce tasted burnt. The appetizers were not good either. There were 4 of us and none of us thought our food was good. We don't mind spending nearly $200 on food that is delicious or even good but sure regret this experience! read more

We came by to try the brunch and what a disappointment it was. I had high hopes that we would have another great breakfast spot on the weekends, but boy were we disappointed and will NEVER come back. I ordered the eggs Benedict and my wife ordered the same but the avocado version. My sister also came along with us and she ordered the breakfast dish with pancake, eggs and bacon. My wife and I received our dishes but they were stone cold. When we brought it up to the waitress she was very sorry and had the kitchen cook again. When the manager came by, they had to make sure to tell us that the hollandaise sauce is only room temperature but we assured her that the entire dish and the eggs were cold throughout. She also seemed annoyed of us. My sister received scrambled eggs, but asked for over medium, so the waitress also apologized and asked that they cook new eggs. My sister receives her eggs but now they are sunny side up, with runny white. She asks again to make over medium eggs, which the waitress took it back. My wife and I finally received the replacement Benedict's, but this time the hollandaise sauce was thick and disgusting. I put the sauce over mine and it immediately turned to liquid and seemed to only look like butter. My wife's tasted like they added buffalo sauce and was absolutely disgusting. The muffins were thin and hard as a rock. My sister now receives correctly cooked eggs, but now we have EGG SHELLS sitting on the top of the egg. This was one of the worst experiences we have had at any restaurant and the quality of the meals were sub par. We could have easily went to Dennys for far better quality. I would be ashamed if I were the manager and the manager we had was very off put that we complained and let alone didn't really want to do anything for us, but they eventually took our Benedict's off the bill and gave some credit to my sister. Again, we will never come back to this location, or may only come back for lunch/dinner. But Tru Religion is far superior for breakfast around this area and would not recommend this place for any type of brunch. read more

So thrilled to see this open. And bitterly disappointed that they don't have their famous Topical Tea as part of their menu. Per our awesome waiter (Abby), the GM says they are testing if their guest would prefer sweet tea over tropical tea...such a bummer...why don't they test it by offering both!?!? This is why the rating is a 3. Food was typically delicious but my pasta had a missing ingredient that they were out of. Unfortunately the waitress has not been informed to let me know, as I would have chosen a different plate if I had know. Also, if you are not familiar with Utah County liquor laws, make sure you bring your ID (no matter how old you are) in order to sit at the bar or in the bar area. No ID, no sitting in the area!!! read more
