Their cheesecake

>> No.7249296

Their cheesecake has gotten unfresh just not the draw anymore, can get the same quality from wal-mart lately. I used to get one to go, because of the leftovers issue with most items on the menu, where I wanted a slice, even if I was full! No more key lime. But Godiva is still decent, and the seasonal half-pecan pie/half pumpkin cheesecake is worth seeking out.

Renee's Special is the best "deal" on the menu that satisfies most moods, and clearly my favorite item most visits. It's salad+soup+sandwich. Sandwich is nutty chix salad or sliced roast turkey with avocado on french roll. Get your fave dressing on the meslun salad (thai peanut is mine). Soup of the day favorite is tortilla, so know your days!

If I get to split a meal among friends, I'll go halfsies with someone and get the chile relleno topped burger or grilled eggplant sandwich for 50%, and one of the nice salads for the other half, such as the mexican-thai merger of the santa fe salad, or the cobb or french country for the goat cheese and beets.

But #1 is an appetizer of the Thai Lettuce Wraps, which I get as my main.

Gift cards do NOT expire by law. Don't feel like you need to spend this in a single visit. You can space it out over months or years. Just order what you want, when you want. It literally is all good. CF must have some of the best trendy-hipster recipe creators known to man. They hit all the notes of bitter/salty/sour/sweet umami balance that many people adore to the point of craveworthy. I wouldn't worry about getting the wrong thing, truly. For the longest time, they were the best bet on the stock market within the entire hospitality industry for a reason.

I just checked out their menu online. They are completely hipster.

trade it for a gift card to a better restaurant or cash. there are multiple websites where you can do this or use ebay/craigslist. you probably won't get full value, but you should get at least 90%.

>Have an accepting palate out of home due to allergies
>Despite their massive menu, they are shit about allergies

I fucking hate cheesecake factory. Last time I was there I had to stomach a quesadilla because iit was the only thing I found on the menu they could guarantee for my allergies.

It was okay. I ate there because I rarely go out to eat with my family and my mother loves their Cobb Salad, so I swallowed my pride and ate there. Fuck.

Anyway, OP, I would probably just settle for a mediocre meal and some booze.

I have trouble understanding how they're still in business. Given that CCF tends to be located in restaurant-dense areas, I can almost guarantee you that there are at least a dozen restaurants in a half a mile radius of your local CCF that are a hundred times better.

Nope, it's delicious but also a diarrhea inducer.
