The Cheesecake Factory

I just LOVE the food here! And I am a very fussy eater. There are so many things that I can’t eat that I have to ask ALOT of questions so I am sure that I don’t get sick from the food. Not only do they always get my order right, but they seem happy to accommodate me! I also like that my grandkids are happy with the food! An all over great place! LOVE the location too!

The grill pork chop looks good but so dry. Very bad cooking. Never try again. Should be two stars only but the system don’t post it as review.

Came here as a birthday dinner celebration for my mom. And on a Friday night of all times when everyone seems to be prowling the streets to do something exciting to kick off the weekend.
Arrived close to 7 o’clock and our party of 5 was seated pretty quickly. Surprisingly, they weren’t too busy at this time on a Friday, which was great for us since we didn’t have to wait long to get a table. :)
Now, for those of you who have never been here before, their portions are pretty big. Don’t fill up on the complimentary beard if you want to finish your meal. They certainly don’t want you to go home hungry so definitely come on an empty stomach!
Luckily for me, I was practically starving by the time we made it to the restaurant and though I was slowly being seduced by the bread that was wickedly trying to get me to eat it, I held on strong! That was until the appetizers came and, needless to say, there went that notion. My sister was really craving the nachos so we started with that and got some pot stickers to start off the night.
Our waiter was more than friendly, he certainly had some quick wit going on with some of our outrageous questions that seemed to have gotten asked. He didn’t miss a beat. I am now convinced he is definitely a Jedi and really does meet up with Yoda out in the Everglades. =D Totally cool by my standards!
Also, one must have cheesecake when they go to the Cheesecake Factory! I mean, it’s in their freakin’ name for crying out loud! :) The dessert menu is full with all sorts of tasty goodies that I’m sure will have you wishing you could have one of each. If you’re not a fan of cheesecake, not to worry, they have regular cake too to satisfy that sweet tooth of yours. :P
**Just a side note, parking can be a bit of a hassle, you can opt for the street or find a garage nearby. Either way, you’re probably not going to find front row parking, especially if it’s a Friday night, so do expect to do a bit of walking to get to your destination. It’s not as bad as it seems though, you at least get to take in a bit of Coccnut Grove on your journey.

The resto was about half full but we were seated at the end table at the kitchen. When we asked for another seating, the hostess rolled her eyes at us. We sat overlooking the street and the window sills were filthy with dust and food as was the floor.
An single old fashioned was $ 12. The dynamite shrimp was a greasy tempura with a few tablespoons of what tasted liked a paprika ranch dressing. The favorite meatloaf was salty; dry and burnt at the edges. The mushroom gravy tasted packaged with one single piece of mushroom. The mashed red potatoes and succotash were good enough but tasted like diner food.
Very disappointing!

This place is filthy.
How are you guys going to lay out silverware on top of a table that just got cleaned with a towel that is completely dirty and unsanitary? I literally got sat down by the hostess and got up and left.
The other locations are better.

I was in love with their menu. The first one i tried was the steak with vegetable. It is incredible. The taste and smell was so delicious. Their desert cheese cake was so good and traditional. I highly recommended this place to everyone want to enjoy their weekend with delicious food at a nice restaurant. Price was not expensive, but not cheap

Service is not a word a lot of people understand, but when you have an empty restaurant and get a 8 people table you should take advantage. Trust me, it’s not that hard to make people enjoy their meal and less if you have no more than 3 tables to attend.
Even though we enjoyed that this location was not crazy full as the one in Aventura which is closer to us, the service was so bad that we almost left the place and we are for sure not recommending this location.

Fabulous bar service!!! Food is good and the ambient mood Is awesome. Always a great standby for the Grove!

Well I don’t normally review the big chains because, basically, you already know them and have drawn your own conclusions. However, I think since employees at one location can really make a difference I am reviewing the Coconut Grove Cheesecake Factory. We were cheerfully greeted and seated immediately. The house manager, Siobhan, was delightful. She checked on us several times to make sure everything was alright. Our server was Marvin. Some adjectives to describe him are attentive, conversant, witty, and professional. These 2 individuals rate 5+ stars. The food this day, however, was somewhat hit and miss, not of the calibre of previous Cheesecake experiences. The Mac’n Cheese balls were great. The artichoke n’crab dip was fantastic. However, they provided an insufficient amount of crackers to dip with. Quick-​thinking Marvin brought some fresh warm tortilla chips, but it wasn’t quite the same. The DaVinci pasta was good but had a meager amount of chicken. The eggplant parm/​pasta, and the garlic smashed potatoes were standard fare good. The Shrimp Scampi was on point awesome, however the accompanying steak Diane was somewhat over cooked, dry and a little tough. I conveyed my thoughts about the food to Siobhan, and she graciously accepted the «constructive criticism». Of course the cheesecake, in this case the «Tuxedo» was decadently delicious. Overall it was a 3 star food day on this visit but the above and beyond attitudes of Siobhan and Marvin kicked it up to like a 4.25 star experience.

La comida y loa mojitos muy ricos .pero la alcachofa no me gusto para
presentación no me pareció nada buena.

Fuiste de compras al Dolphin Mall y no sabes dónde comer?
The cheesecake factory es el lugar indicado para no equivocarse.
Platos exquisitos, pastas, carnes, y opciones dulces abundantes al extremo.
El lugar es muy bello, con una decoración impactante.
Precios accesibles. Realmente un placer.

Zero Service. Trotz leerem Restaurant bekamen wir den Tisch der am nächsten an den Toiletten lag. Trotz eingedeckter Tische im Hauptraum wurden wir an einen ungedeckten Tisch platziert und die Einweiserin war die unhöflichste Person die mir seit länger Zeit in der Gastronomie untergekommen ist. Wir haben den Laden ohne Bestellung verlassen.

It’s always a little funny to review a chain restaurant, I think. Especially one as ubiquitous as The Cheesecake Factory. Nonetheless, here we go:
The location in Coconut Grove is a perfectly average spot. You get exactly what you expect out of the Cheesecake Factory. Big menu with diverse selections, big portions.
I got the the spicy crispy chicken sandwich and, from my read of the menu, thought it would be like a buffalo chicken sandwich. Not so. The coating on the chicken sort of has the spicy sauce cooked in, as opposed to poured on or being tossed in. So as served this was dry, not spicy enough, and a bit underwhelming.
I asked for extra hot sauce and blue cheese dressing which I added myself. And it turned out that the sandwich was pretty good with the additions.
My sweet potato fries were average. Little to say here. Perhaps slightly too crisp/​dry for my taste.
Service was (you guessed it) pretty average.

Although I may not admit it to my American friends (I’m a Brit), I LOVE it here! Our server (Xindi?) was really nice and constantly refilled our drinks when we were running low and the food came out really quick and it was delicious!
Firstly, the sweet brown bread from the complimentary bread basket is devine! I ordered the Chicken Parmesan sandwich (one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had!) and my husband ordered the taco salad. My sandwich had the perfect combination of ingredients and flavor to make it amazing! It was sooo good! I love that you have marinara sauce to dip your sandwich in. My husbands salad was so large, he loved it.
We of course couldn’t leave without cheesecake. We shared 1 slice of the salted caramel cheesecake, which I have to say, was AMAZING. The best flavor I have tried at Cheesecake Factory and it had a thick biscuit crust/​base that I loved.
All round it was a fabulous experience, the food was great and our server was really great. We came away happy customers!

I usually don’t leave reviews for chain restaurants but I feel that Cheesecake Factory lovers should all be aware of some of the pitfalls associated with this restaurant that set it apart from others.
First off, it’s relatively small. I don’t know if it’s old, but it feels that way. And due to its proximity to a cinema, it’s packed with large, loud families. Let me reiterate: LARGE, LOUD FAMILIES.
Actually, its likely because of this factor alone that service is exceptionally slow, the ambiance isn’t as «date-​night-​esque» and the interior feels cramped.
That being said, there’s nothing wrong with the food coming out of the kitchen. Same old classics, done consistently with every other Cheesecake Factory we’ve all likely been to.
My favourite is the Chicken Littles, a mountain of crispy tenders with mashed potato and corn. However, this time, I had El Hub get it while I ventured out into territory I had not yet explored in Cheesecake Factory before: Thai Chicken Lettuce Cups, which were actually delightfully fresh and filling. Moreover, I did not want to run to the bathroom to change into sweatpants immediately following my meal.
What more can I say.

Sehr leckeres Essen und ein super Service.
Die Auswahl der Speisen ist vielfältig. Hier sollte für jeden Geschmack etwas dabei sein.

Still packing them in after all these years…
And it’s easy to see why… Big portions, quality food, reasonable prices and friendly service. Menus also don’t get much bigger than CF… they have everything!
Minus one star for getting rid of the Salmon Genovese… that was my favorite thing! Bring it back!!!

Passed the cheesecake factory on our trip in seattle but never got time to go in, so I was determined to visit when i found this one around the corner from our hotel in miami. Am i glad we did!
The hostess seated us straight away, our waiter ‘mike’ was friendly and helpful.
My husband had a pit beef dip sandwich, i had a cuban sandwich… We went halves and they were both delicious, really, really tasty, never even put a fry past my lips cause i was so full… I guess it’ll have to be another visit for the cheesecake;-)
My daughter had the cajun chicken littles… Not little by any means, she loved them. We will be back!

Buena atencion. Abierto hasta mas tarde de las 23hr ideal para los turistas q no estan acostumbrados al ritmo estadounidense y salen tarde a comer

I can’t believe this! Cheesecake Factory you have finally redeemed yourself!
I’m always on the hunt for a great waffle and my friend told me that this place had the best ones she’s ever tried. At first I thought she was crazy! Cheesecake Factory has a good anything? Doubtful. I really dislike chain restaurants and I’ve had a terrible experience in the past with this location.
So this morning my friends decided we would give this restaurant a try for brunch. I was hesitant but sucked it up because I wanted to see my girls. I went with the intention of trying this «amazing waffles» but ended up ordering the lemon ricotta pancakes instead. Holy deliciousness!!! These were amazing! My friends each ordered waffles and those were sooooo good.
I’ll definitely give this place another try for brunch soon.

The food was good, but Jan (I think that was her name), she was the STAR! Hands down one of the most down to earth, fun, and engaging waitresses that I have EVER encountered! I am so happy that we were seated in her area. In fact, we will request her area any and every time that we dine in! She made my birthday dinner awesome sauce!!!

I like Cheesecake Factory because the menu is so varied that it’s impossible not to find something you like. Plus, the food is tasty, and even if you don’t get their cheesecake, you can drool over them and the amazing ingredient combinations staring back at you from behind the glass, and just dream… Whether you want salads, pasta, seafood, or steak, they’re here to please. Even better, they now have a low calorie menu called the «Skinnylicious», so even the more health-​conscious people can find something they like. There’s also a kids’ menu, which has pretty affordable kid-​approved options for even the most finicky kid.
I ordered a Skinnnylicious Fresh Vegetable Salad, and was thrilled by the variation of vegetables in it. I don’t think I have seen a salad with so many ingredients before: asparagus, green beans, tomato, cucumber, roasted beets, apple, edamame, radicchio, Romaine and white cheddar, with a pomegranate vinaigrette. I also added chicken. Sure, it wasn’t as «unbutton your pants because you’re going to explode» filling as their larger, calorie-​laden options, but it was still quite satisfying, and with different, refreshing flavors going into your mouth, it was a new experience.
I do want to warn you though, that being on Cocowalk, this location can get quite full. We had a 30 minute wait, and though that normally would have made me give this location 2 or 3 stars, our waiter Kathleen was so great and so patient (we had 3 kids in our party, on a play date, so you can imagine how indecisive and rowdy they can get), that she is the reason I decided to give them a 4. At one point, I needed to accompany the girls to the restroom, and the waitress was perfectly fine with that. She made sure they didn’t clean our table and rushed me off to go take care of the girls. If all the waiters are this great, then I definitely stand behind my 4 star rating.
It got too late to order cheesecake and kids shouldn’t eat sugar late at night or they’ll bounce off the walls and never sleep, so we had to skip on the cheesecake, but next time, we already know what we’ll be ordering!

Just to be clear– someone gave me a CF gift card, otherwise you would not find me in this establishment. I came prepared, having studied their online nutrition guide. It would be fun to play a guess-​how-​many-​calories trivia game here, as one of their salads clocks in at over 1,500 calories, and some of the fruity cheesecakes (wild blueberry for one) actually score higher on the calorie scale than the chocolatey ones.
They were busy on Saturday at 1:00 pm prime time, so I planted myself at the bar. The food came out incredibly fast and all the staff was very pleasant and friendly.
Since I already knew I was going to order a slice of cheesecake, I got the healthiest salad on the menu: Seared tuna with greens, avocado and tomato. I asked for lightly dressed greens, and they still came out more saturated than I like. The salad was good but nowhere near worth $ 18.
Oreo Dream Cheesecake… Layers of crushed Oreos, dark chocolate cheesecake, vanilla cheesecake, thick milk chocolate icing and Oreo crumbles. Incredibly rich and fatty. Not too sweet. I took my time eating it, even though the guys next to me seemed to get some weird satisfaction out of watching me. The cake was even better once it came to room temperature. I am literally having heart palpitations now, as my body isn’t used to this rich food. 880 calories, BTW — in case you were wondering. It’s worth skipping dinner this one time.

The selection is wide and the portions are huge. Pastas, burgers, steaks, fish & seafood, pizza, etc. I ordered the Spicy Crispy Chicken Sandwich with spicy Buffalo sauce. (HOT!!!) It came with French Fries on the side. I should’ve ordered a bucket of ice too. Did I mention it was hot? I got the Ultimate Red Velvet Cake Cheesecake™ for dessert. Another large portion. I could barely finish the cheesecake because the servings were so big. The food was awesome.
It was a quiet weeknight when my wife and I went there so it was a laidback intimate evening. Our server was very nice, polite, and soft-​spoken. She was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and glad to answer all the questions we had. It took us a while to decide what we wanted because the menu was so expansive but she was patient with us.
The restaurant plays loungy, soft jazz music which adds to the tranquil atmosphere. Not my cup of tea but it seemed to fit for the evening.
If we’re in Miami again, we’ll definitely revisit this place.

This location is in the Cocowalk area and was just 2 minutes away from our hotel. It was a weekday evening and not busy around 6PM so we were shown to a table promptly.
I’m familiar with this chain but had never eaten there before so it took a while to go through the menu. There is a lot of items to choose from the appetizers to mains, and I wanted to save room for cheesecake!
Our server was attentive to check if we had questions about the menu and if we were ready to order. She said portion sizes were big so that helped me decide what to have. I had the tex mex egg rolls which were an appetizer but was enough for a meal. There were so many flavours of cheesecake to choose from but I picked the tiramisu one. The piece wasn’t too big and rich to enjoy after my meal but it wasn’t as good as I thought it would be. I enjoyed it with a cup of tea.
I liked the food and service. Would be back.

Der einzige Lichtblick im CocoWalk ist die Cheescake-​Factory.
Trotz unserer etwas unfreundlichen Bedienung haben wir unsere zwei Cakes genossen.
Der Carrot-​Cake ist zu empfehlen, ist aber so groß das er locker für zwei Personen reicht und mit knapp 8 $ auch einer der teuersten.
Wir hatten auch noch einen Cheescake mit white Schoki und Nuss (war auch lecker).
Wir wurden wieder komisch angeschaut weil wir wieder nicht das volle Programm bestellten. Alle erwarten immer dass das volle Menü bestellt wird:(
Da kommt man sich manchmal sehr doof vor wenn man nur Wasser und né Kleinigkeit bestellt,…

Un restau «cool» … Très «made in us» … Bouffe acceptable et sans grande surprise.
Les assiettes sont… Remplies au delà du raisonnable… :-) addition acceptable.
Pour ce qui est de la décoration … Comment dire? Pas franchement belle, voir très moyenne, voir même a refaire car tellement sans goût ! :-) Mais nous sommes la pour… Manger…
