The Cheesecake Factory - Charlotte

When it comes to the food, the portions are generally large, if not massive. My Cobb salad arrived on a 12-inch plate, piled high with blue cheese, cherry tomatoes, bacon crisps, grilled chicken, crushed boiled eggs, romaine lettuce, avocado, and more. Even the kids' meals were sizable, comparable to adult portions at other restaurants. In terms of flavor, everything was excellent. The avocado egg rolls were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, served with a greenish, sweet dipping sauce. A fantastic appetizer. The fried mac and cheese was also tasty, though they could have been more generous with the tomato sauce. The shrimp fettuccine Alfredo was delightful—perfectly balanced in creaminess and the pasta was cooked just right. The spaghetti and meatballs were great too, although my nephew noted that there were only two meatballs in his dish. I nearly forgot to mention the crab bites (an appetizer). Comprising only six pieces, it was the least impressive dish of the day. There was nothing special about it; just deep-fried crab meatballs that could have used a little more seasoning. On a positive note, the service was excellent. Our waiter was friendly and accommodating. Overall, it was a lovely lunch experience. It's a shame that the same restaurant chain back in Indonesia doesn't quite measure up to this one.

My go-to dish here has to be the Chicken Madeira. It features sautéed chicken, mushrooms, asparagus, and the most delicious mashed potatoes, all smothered in a fantastic sauce. I also really enjoyed the Bang Bang Chicken and Shrimp; the combination of coconut, peanut, and curry flavors was delightful. I’ve tried the Tomato Basil Pasta and the Ligurian Pesto Pasta as well, both of which were excellent. The portions are generous, and I found myself having to share! With such a wide variety of mouthwatering cheesecakes, it’s tough to pick just one! I’ve tried several flavors, including Wild Blueberry White Chocolate, Chocolate Tuxedo Cream, and Fresh Strawberry, and I loved them all. However, the star for me is the Dulce de Leche Caramel Cheesecake—it’s pure paradise!

The best food I've had in Charlotte! The calamari was perfectly cooked, and the deep-fried chicken samosas with cilantro sauce were fantastic. The quesadillas were amazing, and the guacamole was delicious! For dessert, the Godiva chocolate cheesecake and red velvet cheesecake were the highlights of the menu!

We love the Cheesecake factory! It 's nice to find an 'upscale ' restaurant that 's kid friendly. My picky toddler loves the pizza and I love how they treated her! It 's fun to get several of the small plates and share around the table. Customer service was amazing, food was amazing, always a great meal!

I've been to this Cheesecake Factory location a few times, and it has been awesome every time. It's a great date night place that's not TOO expensive, and always delivers quality food and awesome dessert. The service has always been very good when I've visited as well; the only possible complaint I have is the wait times on occasion but nothing against the restaurant. Excellent food and very good service!
