The Cheesecake Factory

Cheesecake factory has a large menu full of delicious options. For this visit I ordered chicken picata and they did a really good job on it. The lemons used tasted amazing. Can't leave here without getting cheesecake since that's the whole point of this place 🙃 Location in Gainesville is convenient in the butler plaza, plenty of parking in the lot. I've ordered to go orders here plenty of times as well and the staff has always fulfilled them accurately. The waitress today, Lindsey, was very good and ensured we had our drinks topped off. Recommended to visit if you want some good food. Their menu is online if you want to see what they have before driving out.

Disappointing. The food is not what it was five years ago. The quality has gone down significantly. The wait staff was absent even though they were everywhere. Took 30 minutes to get bread. Water was cloudy. Avocado on my Korean chicken dish was rotten. What is going on? I used to love the experience. $100 for two meals and dessert. Never again.

Came in mid December, on a Thursday evening. 4 of us were sat in a half booth/table. It was the first time any of us had eaten at Cheesecake Factory. It was Very cozy, clean and such a beautiful atmosphere. We had the House Pinot Nior, and egg roll sampler to start. Both were good! Our server was nice. The entrees were ready,but the manager came to let us know that my chicken parm pizza was dropped, did we want to wait to be served, while it was remade, or should they serve it now. I said it was ok to server theirs. I was surprised that we were charged for it anyways. And the crust wasn’t completely cooked. At least offer a piece of complimentary cheesecake? We ordered dessert and all of the cheesecakes were superb! The pumpkin cheesecake pecan pie was our favorite. The tiramisu was delectable! The outdoor patio seating was nicely laid out and it would be nice to have lunch here on a pretty day! The surrounding stores are all awesome and would recommend eating, browsing, and shopping here!

I have never eaten at a Cheesecake Factory before so my hubby surprised me with a date here. Atmosphere and service were excellent. Extensive menu. We ordered an expresso martini and vodka soda drinks, which I learned later were around $16 each! Avocado egg rolls and tamarind dipping sauce where amazing. I ordered the carbonara with bow tie pasta. I wanted to add mushrooms and asparagus instead of adding chicken. I felt my dish was mainly plain, dry bow tie pasta, lacking sauce with tiny pieces of bacon and a few small pieces of asparagus and even fewer mushrooms but was upcharged for adding them, to the same price as adding the chicken would have been. There was maybe 1 full asparagus spear and 1 whole mushroom added to my dish for around $6-$7. That was disappointing. From what little was there I could tell the sauce would have been very tasty though. We got 2 different pieces of cheesecake (Cinnabon swirl and coconut cream) to take home, (delicious!) only to find a long hair buried deep into one of them. I wanted to love the experience so much! The hair, the overpriced, dry bow tie entree and $16 martini forced me into a 3 star review. If we try again, I will order something as is on the menu without additions or substitutes to see if that's better.

A pleasure to dine here. The fried shrimp (pictured) are huge and comes with fries and coleslaw. You can substitute sides for extra charge (their sweet potato fries are amazing). A note for southerners, the slaw is not sweet. Ordered the Pineapple Cherry Limeade (non-alcoholic, pictured) and it was delightful. It looks as good as it tastes. Our waiter, Tyler, was just the right amount of attentiveness and patience, which I am thankful for because I really dislike the hoverers. Thanks man. The restaurant is clean and they draw a big crowd even on Sundays. Highly recommend you make a reservation if you have the foresight. 5 pm already had a short wait so I am glad I reserved a table earlier in the day.
