There are too many rants and complaints about Cheesecake Factory.  They seem to be the target of everything bad in American dining.  Today, I wanted to give them a fair chance, so here is my unbiased review.

First Take:
Health = Heart Stopping.
Portions = Colossal.  Way too big.
Food = Barely.  Some edible, most not edible at all.
Atmosphere = Deafening.  Mud slinging monkey house
Ambience = Unnatural. Guests afraid that orange egg lamps will shoot out aliens
Price = Extremely affordable...in an up-side-down world.

Part 1: Health Considerations
After much research, I was able to find it on their website. Under Nutrional Information, it says, "At this point, we do not provide nutritional information for our menu selections. We pride ourselves on using only the freshest and finest ingredients available. Everything on our menu is made in-house on a daily basis so that we can maintain the highest food quality standards." 

Review: "finest", "in-house" and, "quality" are all great, but what happened to the "nutrional information?"  I feel like they are trying to change the subject here.  It's either the writer didn't know what "nutrional" meant, or they got confused and started writing about their legal team.  

I was able to find another source (CalorieKing.com) for their mystery nutrional information.  I wanted to be sure to give Cheesecake Factory a fair chance, so here's their "Weight Management Salad (Asian Chicken)". 

    Calorie 574, Total Fat 31g. 

Hmm...that seems a little high for a "Weight Management" salad.  It's either their lettuce is made of cheese, or they mistakenly copy-pasted Subway's Footlong Roast Beef Sub.

(Continued - maybe...in fact, doubtful.)

Maybe you are not their target audience. Maybe they are targeting people who love to get a lot of food (large portions), so they can take it home and get four meals out of it (value).

I actually heard from a friend that their salad tops 1000 calories.

3. Guest User

I would like to believe that the calorie count is from the amount of food they serve. Even something healthy can be extremely unhealthy in big portions.

"Oh, my god. We've been ordering the cheese-lettuce all this time. Why did none of our customers say anything???"

5. JCooper

Do they really not post their nutritional facts? That is indeed suspicious.

I've only actually eaten there a couple times. I've tried a bunch of times only to be turned off by the long (45 minutes at LEAST) wait, and the crowds of screaming kids that seem to populate that place. Wait, maybe they were monkeys.

Hww about this for irony: I've eaten at CF at least four times, and I've NEVER HAD THEIR CHEESECAKE. How could I possibly, after eating a whole cow plus an acre's worth of vegetable crops in the entree first?

Also found on their website. It's funny when you look at it close. "The Cheesecake Factory is proud to offer our guests outstanding menu variety, food quality, and generous portions at a great value."

I made the mistake of going to CF tonight, thinking that I could get around the salad issue by ordering a vegetable chop salad off their appetizer menu! Yikes! I looked it up, not on their website b/c it does not post nutritional value, and still found that the d*&! salad still has 1000 calories! Well, a late night trip to the gym and 60 minutes worth of elliptical should take care of it... but, geez... it's chopped vegetables for goodness sake!

11. Guest User

So don't eat there, Morons! There aren't any CF terrorists forcing you to eat there at gunpoint.

A little secret ... when ordering a salad feel free to tell them to lighten up on the fatty stuff. Oh, and they can even put the dressing on the side. Shhhh ...

I had the Factory Chopped Salad last night. VERY ANNOYING that I can't get counts on that for my WW diet. Anywayyy ... I saw it came with bleu cheese so I asked the waiter to keep it light on the cheese and to put my dressing on the side. I used maybe 2 tblsp of that (they brought me about 1/2 a cup!) The salad did have avocado and bacon but no more than 2 tbls of each. I enjoyed it but it was very light on chicken. I'd be suprised if there was a quarter of a breast in there. Oh well, I feel my diet stayed on track! Everyone else's food sure smelled good though .
