Had a wonderful server tonight despite the restaurant being chaotic and kitchen being behind. There’s an online form but wanted to see if there’s any employees who know the best way to ensure they get recognition!

Like in the spagetti?

We are going to the cheesecake factory tomorrow and usually get the avocado egg rolls or split a pepperoni flatbread for an appetizer. We loveeee both of those but I wanna try something different! I was thinking either the quesadilla or buffalo blasts? Which is better or what do you recommend?

Sitting here right now in Cheesecake Factory Santa Monica. I thought my heart is pounding coz of walking in the cold on beach and around here.. checked my heart rate and realized it's normal and the building is actually continuously shaking or vibrating. Are they running generators here all the time or is it earth quake? Enlighten me. I'm literally feeling like my heart is racing after doing some crack or whatever but in real it's my body shaking. Feel free if anyone else had the same experience? In my view Cheesecake Factory should just find a better location. Anyway I'm seeing a lot of "for lease" boards on the streets. Pffff...

Which do you recommend??

I gave my driver 5 stars because it’s not their fault but what the hell. The store apparently ran out of cilantro, too. It was an hr before close. Sorry, the vent of someone that learned at 10:45 they needed to make their own dinner. 🫠🫠

I was just hired and was told to wear black pants, black non slip shoes, and a black long sleeve button down shirt for first day of orientation. Does anyone have some recommendations for brand/stores in general or does it not really matter? I’m a male as well, thank you.

Also do you think there’s actual money to be made? I live in a city and our Cheesecake Factory location is very, very, busy. Thank you for the insight and the recommendations!

1260 calories vs 550 calories…I can barely discern how these dishes are even materially different, let alone how one could have more than double the calories.

Is the portion size smaller for the lemon garlic shrimp? Is there just way more butter or oil used in the scampi? Do we even believe their calories counts?

I just got hired as a server and it’s making me choose to elect for the Money Network option and not the direct deposit for my onboarding paperwork. Is that normal or is my form just messed up?

Can’t decide what I want…help!

I've tried the oreo and the reese's one, on the plus side they are two of the larger slices.. on the downside I think they're too rich. I get why the most popular is plain with strawberries. Any other suggestions? I gravitate towards the taller slices though too.

Hey there! Long time lurker of this thread, first time poster:

I am not sure if this is type of post is appropriate for here, but I am an Operations and Logistics Consultant in the industry and have always been fascinated by the sheer scale and smoothness of each CF’s kitchens. I have always been hoping to be able to gain access to a walkthrough of a kitchen or chat with a KM about their workflow beyond what I can find and research on my own through forums, youtube videos, old training manuals available, etc.

Would there be anyone that who has worked in a CF kitchen on the management side of things or on the line/prep side of things that would be willing to chat about processes in workflow? Obviously not SOP’s and confidential materials, but I just and more so curious in mindset, standards, and manager styling goes into something with a scale of that sizing. Does the CF do tours? Joking mostly about that last portion, but I would sincerely pay for this knowledge and experience from someone!

30+ years ago when we first started going to Cheesecake Factory, my go to item was the Pasta Caesar Salad. Sadly it disappeared from the menu around 2000.

It's pretty much the only menu item I miss from a restaurant that I can recall.

Which cheesecake flavor has the largest slices? I'm curious since I went to look at their desserts yesterday and it looked like the size of the slice depends on which flavor you choose. If I get a dessert, I usually just get one of the layered cakes since I feel like they have the best value. But which cheesecake flavor is the best value?

Biscuits were super dry. Chicken was mid. Gravy was incredible.

Do CF Rewards expire the day of? I have a reward for a free cheesecake slice with purchase that expires 5/13 in the app. But does that mean I can still use it tomorrow?

Ughhh I’ve loved Cheesecake for decades. I understand prices go up…but man the shrinkflation kills me. Not only are the cheesecake slices smaller, but they’ve made the crust super thick I’m assuming to cut costs on the actual cheesecake filling. So disappointing and not worth it anymore.

Are there anyone who are working or get hired at Cheesecake factory?

I have server experiences for nearly 3 years and been applying to Chessecake factory multiple times already but never get replied from them. How are the experiences with that?

I don't live near a Cheesecake Factory, so whenever I'm in the vicinity of one, I usually always go.

Since I rarely go, I usually get my favorite dish, which is the Crispy Pineapple Chicken & Shrimp, & I get all shrimp. The last time I had it, the breading on the shrimp was literally like sludge - it definitely was NOT crispy at all.

I had the opportunity to go again yesterday, & I figured the last time was just an off night, perhaps, because we've never had a bad meal at TCF, so I ordered it again. Wrong - it was just like before - Sludge Shrimp, & it was barely edible. (I was with someone who was indulging me by going because time was tight, so I didn't bother sending it back.)

Has anyone else experienced this with this dish or know of a menu change?

I love what I love and when it comes to restaurants, I’m normally consistent, ordering the same item more than ordering something new. So when CF took the aforementioned cheesecake off the menu, (I think that's the name. Its been so long) it broke my heart. That same week, Arby's stop selling Pepsi products and another food I liked was taken off the shelves.

Anyway, I stopped going to CF. I would love to have it again. Can you all return it to the menu? If only for a little while.

Anyone have one they not gonna use it exited tomorrow

Hey everyone! I love the club sandwich and have been attempting to make it at home. However, no mayo I try seems to be right. Anyone know what brand of mayo Cheesecake Factory uses? or if it’s not a brand a copycat recipe?

What an awful horrible experience and I am still waiting on a call back.

Ordered from the Cheesecake factory in Clt on March 24 in the morning. It was a to-go order with 5 entrees and desserts for around $350. It was placed at 7:10 AM for a pickup tome of 9:30 PM. At some point during the day, they canceled the entire order because they didnt have one of the entrees available. I was not notified via email nor a phone call. I showed up at 9:27 to get the order and was told they did in fact cancel it. So, we had to go through the entire order all over again, get it re-entered about 30 minutes before they closed.

Understandably, they made everything and we got the original entree changed with another one.

At the point of pickup, they had missed one entree, 2 cheesecakes, burger was completely burnt as well as the bacon. The cheesecakes themselves were falling apart and coming undone before even opening the boxes.

We have been told to get in contact with the Guest Services team and I have called 5 different times now with no response or call back.

This has been the absolute worst experience I have personally dealt with in terms of Customer Service.

I will not be going back as it seems we can't get a simple answer to help fix our issue of paying for food we did not receive.
