    Great Dining experience! We had to wait an hour to get a table but it was worth it. We enjoyed everything about this place! The service was amazing, and the food was just out of this world good!! I recommend this place for an amazing date night. You will have a hard time deciding what cheesecake you want to try since everything just sounds amazing here.

    The food here was pretty good. I like that they have calorie information on the menu since portions and contents of items vary quite a bit. The atmosphere is pretty dimly lit which makes it a comfortable place to chill out over a nice meal.

    We went for dinner and our server didn't really know what they were doing. They didn't bring us bread. They didnt key in one of our appetizers. They failed to bring out a second drink we ordered. The food, as always was amazing. The atmosphere, as always was wonderful. Just the service was lacking. I'm going to still give 5, because honestly this experience wouldn't deter me from going again but definitely touch base with the new servers for quality.

    Cheesecake factory dinner 👍👍👍👍👍 Excellent food and great customer service. Family enjoyed dinner and great experience. We ordered bang bang chicken and shrimp - good Thai coconut flavor but sweet though. Chicken Parmesan pizza has too much chicken 👍 Louisiana chicken pasta could not finish 😂 spicy shrimp was ok too.

    Amazing food! Huge portions. Had the Parmesan crusted chicken and Bang bang chicken and shrimp (it's more of an Indian coconut curry dish). Both were great (bang bang chicken was not spicy), loved how chicken cutlets were soft but had a crunch due to the Parmesan. We also had the chocolate turtle pecan cheesecake and the vanilla bean cheesecake (which I have to say was the best mousse on a cake I have ever tasted). The final thing we had was the Georgia Peach drink it was so beautifully mixed you couldn't even tell it had alcohol. Fast and friendly service. I would order a vanilla bean cheesecake for my birthday it was so good!

    Portion sizes are huge! Drinks and food came out in a timely manner. Drinks were really good. Ordered the Passionfruit margarita and Passion mint fizz. Highly recommend the Egg roll sampler starter. As entrees we ordered the Chicken avocado club sandwich and the Mexican tortilla salad. Our server wasnt very attentive and the restaurant wasnt very busy.

    Had the Pasta Da Vince - it was good, but it wasn’t as creamy as I think it should’ve been. It had a plain taste even with the meat and mushrooms, though they were both still good. I also had the Samosas as an appetizer, and those were really good. I recommend trying those.

I will put pictures.Food was pretty good.The salmon was delicious.The server was attentive enough. Definitely recommend to the management to be more aware of the cleaning of the restaurant.

    This is my first time trying food in the cheesecake factory other than cheesecake and I have to admit this is one of my favorite places now. Loved their mushroom burger with med rare sirloin. Would be much better if they serve chicken sliders with some side sauce. Their fried Mac and cheese is woaah. Overall it's an awesome place, friendly customer service, and great food.

    Great place to eat when you are not sure what you want. Large menue with tremendous variety. I like the potstickers and Avocado egg rolls. I enjoyed the classic burger. I like my burger medium rare and it is almost always overcooked at most restaurants. Cheesecake Factory always cooks a medium rare correctly. If the weather is pleasant this location has a very nice outdoor seating area. Nice desserts to go- see photos.

    I've been to the restaurant three times. Their buttered bread is so delicious and soft. Order: Louisiana spaghetti, “The pasta needs more mixing and more sauce,” and Thai chili shrimp, “The shrimp are too oily.” My usual order is spaghetti cacio e pepe with chicken. My usual order is the salted caramel cheesecake, which has a consistent mix and texture

    I come here regularly for the cheesecake experience only, duh! It’s a cheesecake factory what did you expect? My favorite is the Godiva Chocolate Cheesecake it’s so heavy and delicious you cannot resist. Ps: sit on the bar for a quick cheesecake otherwise wait for a table and enjoy the food. Ps2: Bar girls are busy with bar stuff so expect a cold coffee and your order to be mixed up!

    Went for our 11 year anniversary and it did not disappoint. Wife got the steak Diane and herb crusted salmon combination, while I got the crispy chicken costoletta. Asked for extra lemon sauce and it did not dissapoint. Asparagus was grilled, mashed potatoes hot all the way through, and the chicken was actually crispy on top of its bed of lemon sauce. We went out of our comfort zone and got the street corn appetizer and it was sweet, tangy, all around delicious. For a Thursday night it wasn't very busy either.

    Nun einmal die Cheesecake Factory ausprobiert mit herzhaften Essen. Zuvor waren wir in Fort Lauderdale Cheesecake essen. Die Qualität und der Service lässt auch hier nichts zu wünschen übrig. Hervorragend.

    Well who DOESN’T like the Cheesecake Factory? I mean Sooo many selections. I’ve been going to them for decades, but this was my first time to the Tampa location. Went in at about 7 pm on a rainy Wednesday night. Place was only about half full and we didn’t wait for a table. Got sat in the bar area, which was ok, but I wasn’t asked if that was ok. I was just me and my 19 yo daughter for the evening. Appetizers came quick as did water but her water, but her plain lemonade took about 20 minutes, well after the appetizer came, and we had to ask for it. White eating the appetizer I felt a drop of water on me. I had felt it earlier and thought I was imagining it. Come to find out we were sitting under a vent and periodically it would drip water. I did inform the waiter who wasn’t surprised. I was offered to move tables but by then we were already enjoying food so I just switched chairs. However through the night they continue to sit people underneath the same vent further down the line. By the time we left I could see wet spots all along that area so it’s not a simple drip they have an issue. The waiter was great but for being only half full service was slow. The food didn’t quite taste up to par from my past experience. It was edible but I did not enjoy it. Sadly did not even end up with cheesecake as it was just overall disappointing. I might try it again but for the most part it’s a big chain and I was missing the flavors and deliciousness that I used to get. Sometimes getting too big is a downfall in the food industry. I should know, I am a chef by trade. You just loose the personal touch and flavor in food preparation when it all has to be standardized across a franchise.

    Worms in salads, litter in bowls, and even more. Only go to the cheesecake factory for cheesecake, but even then, it's not that remarkable. Seems fancy, nice, or at the very least good, but the horrible food make the place so much worse. I got the Chicken Parmesan Pizza Style, chicken was burnt, thin, and hard to even eat. Pasta was miniscule and tasted bad. Do not recommend.

    I ordered food at the bar. Had the pleasure of having Jade and Cheyenne as my bartenders. The food was good as always, great taste and portions. The highlight was the service. Drinks and food came fast. Jade was very professional and friendly. I'll be coming back.

    Food and service were great! We ordered the sliders, stuffed mushrooms, and fried macaroni and cheese to share with 3 people and it was plenty of food. I tried the pineapple cherry limeade and it was ok, I could barely taste any pineapple. For dessert we ordered the lemon meringue cheesecake, it was a good combination of tart and sweet. It did take a while for our food to come out though. Also, we arrived around 2:30 on a Saturday and waited about 30 minutes for a table.

    Dinner was average, but we really didn't come for the main meal. We came for the cheesecake, obviously! My kids had the s'mores version. I ate the peanut butter cup one. Both were just as good as they look. Good stuff!

  • 5/5 grlenamored 1 year ago on Google
    Great experience during our visit. We sat at the bar and ordered a few drinks and appetizers to nibble on. Our food was very fresh and tasted delicious. The bartender was awesome (Gina if I got that right). Service was fast and she knew exactly what to recommend.

    Last night 3/13/23, Wait was 50 minutes, while waiting have to use the restroom walk-through to the restroom and see a lot of empty tables. Snapped a few pics to support my case. Ask the hostess about this and get a very rude response. Finally get called and the host is telling people 1.5 hour wait still a lot of open tables. Took about 15 minutes to order a drink then see how this is going when we got our drinks we order right away. The kids meal came out fairly quickly. Then after about 30-40 min we get our appetizer. 5 min later we get our food. The waitress was at our ta le maybe 4 times I have one soft drink till the bill came and that was filled to the rim with ice, Chicken was tasteless overall not satisfied! This used to be our favorite restaurant as the food used to be amazing and everyone could choose due to the menu being so large. Most likely will not be back!

    My husband took me to The Cheesecake Factory for lunch on our Anniversary. I got the impossible burger with swiss and sweet potato fries. My husband ordered the crispy chicken sandwich with the works. We both had peach cucumber lemonade to drink. We got the banana cream cheesecake for dessert and our server came with a happy anniversary slice(see photo).

    First time going to a cheesecake factory and it started rocky. I give 5 stars when everything is absolutely amazing. The hostess that was helping my boyfriend and I was nothing but attitude. When we asked for a table, she wasn’t pleasant but also unpleasant, I didn’t think anything of it. We were told a 30-35 minute wait so we went back to the car to wait because we weren’t standing in the sun for 30 mins, we parked relatively close. We got the our table is ready text and we took MAYBE a minute and a half to get there and when we get in, unpleasant again and we were told to wait to the side because we “didn’t get there fast enough.” We didn’t know that the MAYBE one minute walk from the car to the restaurant would possibly lose us our table. Noted, We will fly next time. That really set our dinner off on a bad note. Other than the attitude, our server, I believe Gabriel was very nice and was on top of everything even though he had many other tables. Everything besides the hostess was absolutely amazing. Photos listed are our appetizers and my fillet mignon and sides. I asked for rare and to me it was perfect! If you love beets and something easy and fresh for an appetizer definitely get the beet salad! Mashed potatos are to die for. Although it started rough it ended up being a very good dinner!

    Overall, it was a good experience. The drinks were delicious! I didn't particularly like my meal but it had nothing to do with the meal itself, just wasn't it for me. My server did compensate for something else so I really appreciate that!

  • 5/5 Beachy K. 1 year ago on Google
    The wait staff at The Cheesecake Factory are fantastic! The kitchen staff outshines most franchised or chain restaurants with their attention to detail and well plated dishes. Buffalo Blasts are awesome, inside and out. People will stop at our table to ask "what is that" and, "is it any good?" To which we tell them if you order and don't like it, we'll pay for it. We've tried the Asian, Southwest, Italian and American entrees at the International Plaza location and I've yet to find something my husband and I didn't like. Deserts are spectacular! My only complaint would be this - you make all the other Cheesecake Factory locations look bad.

  • 5/5 Anaillan R (. 9 months ago on Google
    Salmon and the beef is my favorite main dish. The mangoes cheese cake is the best. I always crave for it. Definitely highly recommend this place if you want a good cheese cake.

  • 3/5 Gill C. 1 year ago on Google
    The Korean Fried Chicken was quite tasty. It had a nice hard crunch to it along with a very savory sauce. I feel like it just needs more vegetables. Maybe some broccoli or just more in general. There is always honestly more plate than there is food. For $17.99 you would expect more. Also the servers were forgetful and literally never brought me my drink. Other than the fact that I can see quality of Cheesecake Factory slipping, I hope to see them improve not only their service but the quality and quantity of ALL their food that is not on the “Skinnylicious” menu.

    We arrived around 8:15 they said around 35 minutes. So we enjoyed a cocktail at the bar. They were delicious but almost $40 for 2 drinks and a tip. My meal was $3 more for an entire meal. Lol It took a very long time for our appetizer to come out. Dinner followed accordingly. Food was great. Service was great. Just wish drinks weren't so highly priced. We didn't leave until after 10.
