If I want to pay the price of Cheesecake Factory I would much rather go to a more higher end local establishment and get better quality food- especially if I am not bringing my kids with me....
They do have a kid's menu but they do not advertise it nor is it written anywhere. I always ask the server and they tell you what is available. Usually it is the small hamburgers, pizza and chicken tenders, the same pretty much everywhere!

It's ok. For the money you could get much better, fresher, more original food at a local establishment. Not really a fan of the overprocessed chain restaurants.

I like it well enough. HATED dining in there (the wait time is ridiculous!), however, I have occasionally used the take out service which is great since the Cheesecake Factory I used to go to was inside a large mall, so I could place an order, do a bit of window shopping, then come back and pick up my order a bit later (can't remember it ever being more than 20 minutes). I liked the chicken chipotle pasta thing they have, and of course, I love the cheesecakes! a bit overpriced, but I tend to get a lot of gift cards, so it's worth it. but again, I will never dine in there again! I swear some friends and I once waited over 2 hours to get a table! never again!

I am surprised by the level of criticism some have displayed regarding CF. Ok, it's not haute cuisine, but I think the quality is above the average for a chain restaurant.

No, I have asked for one and they have told me to order off of the appetizer menu for my kids. They do not have a kids menu. They use the appetizers as make shift kids menu at a hefty price.....

I've never been to one but girlfriends just rave about it. So bought a couple cheesecakes at Sam's. OMG - I completely understand why they rave!!!! They are soooooo good (and I rarely eat or like cheesecake).

Got the variety pack with Godiva choc, raspberry w white choc, and dulce.

Why would you be surprised that others don't share your tastes? It's what makes the world go 'round.

I don't find anything at McDonalds appetizing, but I'm certainly not surprised by their popularity.

Everyone is different. DO you work there? Just wondering.

I like it. Especially the Bang Bang Chicken and Shrimp Thai entree!
