Cheesecake Factory: Chowing Down in Seattle

Can you believe it? I’ve NEVER been to a Cheesecake Factory till now. It’s taken me 25 years to make a visit and taste their cheesecake. I’ve never seen the allure of huge slices of cheese cake and horribly prepared food. I’ve always just had that impression in my mind.

On our recent trip to Seattle, we stopped by Cheesecake factory for an early dinner. It was really early…it was so early, they still had their lunch menu. What can I say? We had a schedule to keep if we wanted to go shopping.

cheesecake-factory-inner

The place was huge, but there always seem to be a line up near the door. It’s super packed during lunch and dinner.

cheesecake-factory-bread

Complimentary bread arrives and you have brown and white. We actually didn’t touch the bread since we had to save our tummies for our meal and dessert. No need to waste space for plain bread.

cheesecake-factory-coke

M ordered himself a coke. Free refills!

cheesecake-factory-lemonade

Koreangirl got herself a lemonade. Free refills too!

cheesecake-factory-pizza

Tomato, basil and cheese pizza ($11.95) from their lunch menu is pretty crappy. There’s no tomato sauce, so it’s just the 3 basic ingredients over the pizza dough. I will not order the pizza again.

cheesecake-factory-salad

The pizza did come with a salad. The salad was pretty good. No complaints. It had a balsamic vinegar dressing. I definitely enjoyed the salad a lot more than the pizza.

cheesecake-factory-meatloaf

Famous Factory Meatloaf ($11.95) comes with 2 sides. M chose corn and mashed potatoes with gravy. The lunch size was still huge but the dinner size is even larger. M likes the portion for lunch as he could actually finish it.

cheesecake-factory-sandwich

Renee’s Special ($10.95) comes with half a turkey sandwich, a cup of soup and a green salad. You definitely get a little bit of everything. The portion is large for lunch and its very filling.

cheesecake-factory-pasta

Fettuccini with chicken and sun-dried tomatoes ($11.95) was ordered by Scarface and looked good.

cheesecake-factory-cheesecake

30th Anniversary Chocolate Cake Cheesecake has layers of their original cheesecake, fudge cake and chocolate truffle cream. M gets this every time he comes here.

cheesecake-factory-choco

Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake ($6.95)  has chocolate cheesecake with a layer of Belgian chocolate mousse and whipped cream.

cheesecake-factory-strawberry

Fresh Strawberry ($6.95) has the original cheese cake topped with glazed strawberries and whipped cream. It’s been their top seller for 30 years. The strawberries were huge and fresh. I really liked it and its a good cake to share. The classics are always the best.

Overall, cheesecake factory is ok. It’s a good price for their huge portions. I wouldn’t come back for the food but cheesecake is worth it.
