Reviews for The Cheesecake Factory in San Diego, CA
Thai lettuce wraps are delicious!!! Can order as an appetizer or meal! So fresh and chicken is perfectly grilled. But the dish... that surprised us the most was the cacio Pepe pasta! It has all the authentic flavors of Rome! I knew it would be good but waspleasantly surprised with the authenticity!! Only issue I had was the parking, they do validate, just not for the ace valetparking. Which is behind the building so I made the assumption they would valet. My mistake.??????????? Read more
Go early or do reservations! Yesterday, we went and it was 1-1hr and half wait. Today, we did reservation through Yelp and only... have to wait for 5mins but those that walked in were told 2hr wait due short staff. Food was good. Chicken and broccoli was alittle too salty for my taste but everything else like fish and chips and spicy chicken sandwich were delicious. Great servicefrom our server. Cheesecakes were the bomb!

The majority of our food was delicious, but the white bread was too hard to eat comfortably, and had too much flour on the... bottom. Also, many appetizers were unavailable, but I did appreciate not being charged for veggies they forgot to remove from myorder. The atmosphere was nice and relaxing, and the facilities were fresh and clean. Our waitress was friendly, but not asattentive as we would prefer. However, overhearing the neighboring waiter, Shawn, made our experience so much more enjoyable!His positive attitude, pleasant speaking voice, and professionalism was my favorite part of our dining experience. (And hedidn't even wait on, or speak directly to us the entire time). If I ever make it back again, I hope he is still around so I canrequest to be seated in his section! If you see this Shawn, THANK YOU!! AND KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT WORK!! YOU'RE SHINING BRIGHTOUT THERE! ???? #SatisfiedTexasCustomer Read more
Great happy hour menu! The drinks were great, bread was fresh, and the dumplings were fantastic. Not pictured was the always... delicious cheesecake. The server in the bar area was overwhelmed with all the tables, but I was in no rush. She was workinghard, friendly, and pleasant. Read more
Do you like paying $21 for a wet tortilla wrapped around two cups of undercooked rice and a smidge of sour tasting shredded... chicken and no spice? Then this place is for you! The sweet corn cakes are amazing. The staff, minus a few of the hostesses,are super friendly and helpful. The server was amazing, truly he was! Their key lime cheesecake was amazingly good. Burrito wasthe worst I?ve ever had at a restaurant. The spaghetti was literally noodles with sauce out of a can. And two of the cheesecakeswe ordered were not smooth, but had freeze thaw and refreeze textures- they tasted OK though. I realize it?s not TCF?s businessmodel, but Restaurants should be good at what they serve, not offer 280 truly mediocre to sub-par options. If you desire qualityfood, best to try someplace else. If you want variety and to pay a ton for carbs, then this may be your place. Read more
Great time, great food and outside eating area. Reason for four stars is the men bathroom it was flooded with paper towels on... the floor, also COVID now is endemic you would think they change the push for soap to touch less. HUGE SHOUT OUT to the lady whoattended for us JOCELYN: Respectful, attentive. Great customer service and friendly. Read more
First timer, first impression was how big and, dare I say elegant, the restaurant looked. Menu was a small book that leaves one... wondering what kind of restaurant is this... seafood? Steak? Pasta? they have it all and then some. Meal was corporate chainquality, middle of the road. Flavor was OK, portions were generous, but the service was above and beyond (on a Monday!). Dessertwas okay, honestly don't see the hype over the cheesecake. Nothing special. Overall it was a fun experience filled with too muchgood food. We left stuffed and ready to burn the 2000+ calories we each just ate. Read more
I haven?t been to Cheesecake Factory in years. I recently went with a fairly large group for a birthday celebration. The food... was good but overall service was really slow. I was disappointed to only get one water refill and most of our tables cocktailsmade their way out super slow. So slow in fact a few members weren?t interested in drinking anymore. I?d go back again and givethem another shot but I?d be weary to return during a busy time. The staff was super polite but they just need to speed it up.I?d recommend their espresso martini. Read more
