Cheesecake Factory

[Darcy Baldwin]

DH won a GC there today, and we've never been. Share your favorite dish or appetizer...I'm having a hard time narrowing it down! I think I could just eat off the appetizers/salad/pizza menu for life!

I love their cheesecake. My favorite is raspberry white chocolate cheesecake. It is so good.

[Tracyfish]

I LOVE their Chicken Salad Sandwich!!!!

[SmallMoments]

Santa Fe Salad. Oh my yummy. I'm always there in the fall (our annual girls' weekend away) so I get the pumpkin cheesecake. But it's seasonal.

[dgreenshield]

I always eat off the appetizer menu since the portions are HUGE! If you order an entree or salad, ask about the lunch portion...seriously, the lunch portions can easily feed 2 and that way you have room for dessert!

[heathergw]

well, I already told you all my faves are from the appetizer menu The avocado egg rolls are a must have. We usually get a couple appetizers and then one entry and one slice of cheesecake (whatever we're in the mood for) to split between everyone. The portions are GIGANTIC, seriously!

[pewtertm]

Yes, seriously...even their lunch portions are too big IMO! Hmmm...my usual salad is no longer on the menu...but their Pear and Endive Salad is similar. Gotta eat light there so you can splurge bigtime on the desserts!

I like the
Chicken Pot Stickers or the Lettuce Wraps appetizers

fave cheesecake(s) are
Brownie Sundae Cheesecake
Reeses PB Choc Cake Cheesecake

if you go thru the holidays they have a peppermint cheesecake too

[DawnMarch]

OMgosh, they have this chicken with pasta in a garlic cream sauce that is absolute bliss.

[nonnie]

I don't know about the appetizers - but I LOVE the Shepperd's pie!!!

Thai Lettuce Wraps

It is all huge, just plan on taking leftovers, but oh so yummy!

[Julie Billingsley]

it's been a while since I've been there so this might not be on the menu anymore, but I thought their Steak Diane was incredible

[ColleenSwerb]

I LOVE their mac and cheese ball appetizer!!!
Jordan always gets the chicken romano, or the orange chicken.

I went on BF with my MIL and SIL's, and I got a burger with sweet potato fries that was DELISH!

Plan on taking home leftovers for sure. I usually eat less than half of my dinner so I can get a slice of cheesecake to go. The Adam's Peanut Butter cheesecake is my fave.

[jaylensmom]

i absolutely love their avacado egg rolls...

[lovely1m]

Their meals are HUGE so I normally share a salad and then I have room for some cheesecake. I love that place.

ETA, favorite cheesecakes are pumpkin, banana and key lime. Yummy!

[strawberryredhead]

My very favorite restaurant!!! The Avocado Eggrolls as an appetizer and the Crispy Chicken Costeletta for an entree - and be prepared to take home at least half of everything you order!

[Teresa]

Don't miss the Mac and Cheese ball appetizer- Col is spot on!

Fav cheesecake- Tuxedo or the carrot cake/cheesecake combo. Total toss-up!

Enjoy, lucky girl!!

[Angie4b1g]

I like the salmon.

And the red velvet cheesecake OMG.

[AmberK]

The red velvet cheesecake is to die for. And so is the fried mac-n-cheese!

[dana]

yum! i was just there on tuesday night yes - portions are huge! i used to go w/ an old boyfriend and we would split an appetizer (spinach artichoke dip + chips), split an entree (i think it's called cashew chicken) and split a cheesecake - and still have leftovers! LOL!

now when i go i ALWAYS get the weight management grilled chicken - LOL - the name is horrible LOL - but it's really good! and i don't leave feeling gross! ha! i've had their fish tacos a lot too ... and salads ... and caramel chicken ... it's all good

[deepounds]

Another one here for the avocado egg rolls . . . scrumptious!! And then the red velvet cheesecake. IMHO, you don't need anything else :-)

[NettieB]

used to power up to shop the Houston Galleria by splitting a sandwich or salad - you cannot go wrong with a single choice - and splitting either a slice of Linda's Fudge Cake (chocolate heaven) or a piece of cheesecake...

Still one of my fav TX memories there's a couple up here, but it's not the same.

Food is AWESOME! You have to scrap this, Darcy!

[schock77]

I love their... everything! I've never had something there I don't like. I'm in a psta modd at the moment so I'd say their four-cheese pasta. But seriously I could eat almost anything on their menu (and I'm a picky eater!)

[Sharon Kay]

I don't know if they still have it ... but they had a godiva chocolate cheesecake there ... that actually was impossible for me to finish it ... I've never had a cheesecake SO RICH and chocolately that I was unable to finish (even with coffee) until this one. Food ... they serve FOOD there???

[emilyscout]

When my girllfriends and I go there we often order the appetizers sampler. Its huge and has a great selection of their apps. I also love their luau salad. Coconut cheesecake and the banana cheesecake are sooooo yummy! So is thier white chocolate raspberry one!

[TanyaH666]

on multiple occasions i have gotten the Avocado Eggrolls as an appetizer and then AGAIN for my meal! that is how good they are. my favorite thing by far!

[schock77]

This thread is making me hungry... Thanks DARCY! Now I'm gonna have to go there this weekend.

[gourmetdigi]

It's been years.. many years..10 in fact.. since I've been to a Cheesecake Factory, only because of where I live.. but two things.. no three things I remember: 1. The MASSIVE menu selection 2. the GREAT food.. and 3. the EXCELLENT atmosphere
I envy you!
