What's your favorite meal from Cheesecake Factory??!!

I'm going there for the first time this weekend. I only browsed the menu online so needless to say I have no idea what I want! Bang Bang Chicken and Shrimp, Shepherd's Pie, or the Stuffed Corn Tortillas? Everything sounds so good! And not to mention the cheesecakes.

I'm not concerned about calories for this meal. I feel like it'll do me good to let go a little for one night.

What's your favorite meal and cheesecake?

  • The lemon raspberry cheesecake is delicious. They have a lot of cheesecakes though, and they all are delicious :)

    I've had the shepards pie before and it is very good.

    I'm not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing that there isn't one in my town. ;D

    My go to's are:

    - Grilled salmon with double brocolli if I want to be good

    - Factory burger with extra grilled onions and fries if I want to be bad

    - Rarely do I get a piece of cheesecake, but when I do I get it to go and work on it for a few days. My favorites are the original and either of the peanut butter/chocolate ones.

    The crab cake bites are really tasty and crunchy too!

    I've only been to CF twice. The first time was 'blah'. The second was quite good - I had the asparagus salad with tomatoes, pine nuts and a fried egg and a slice of the low-carb cheesecake - it was delicious!

    I like most of the dishes on the skinny menu. I know you said calories are no concern, but I honestly like the things on that menu better than the regular menu. Except the veggie burger. It's nasty.

    Best cheesecake - tossup between the banana cream, which seriously tastes like uber-rich banana cream pie, and the lemon/raspberry one with the lady fingers.

    Everything is good, but since I'm a cheesecake addict I recommend you just skip the meal and go straight to the cheesecake.

    They have a bbq chicken chopped salad that is SO good. Also pretty much any of their pasta. And red velvet cheesecake to finish!

    You mean it's not just a fictional eatery from The Big Bang Theory?
  • I really like their chopped salads. The southwest eggrolls are good too.

    I agree factories are very filling and calorie dense.

    Bang Bang Chicken and Shrimp!!! I also like the spicy cajuin pasta not sure of it's real name if it's stil on the menu.

    I love all cheesecake. But Oreo is good for a Classic. The pinapple upsdie down cheesecake is wonderful for somthing different.

    Drink lots of water and go for a walk tomorrow to make up fo rthe salt and cal.

    Have fun!

    I lost 53 pounds, and went out to eat often. Weight loss doesn't mean you can't live a little. You learn to work in splurges.

    Because life is for living? Because food is tasty and for eating?

    I bet you don't get invited out much.



    Anyway. I love just about everything there but Bang Bang Chicken and Shrimp is really nice.

    Chicken Madeira. You're welcome.
  • Fettuccine with chicken and sun dried tomatoes is sooooo delicious! I also really like the chicken salad sandwich. The Dulce de Leche cheesecake is pure heaven! Enjoy your outing!!

    Thai Chicken Lettuce wraps. Healthy and DELICIOUS!

    I would choose the avocado eggrolls over the cheesecake, because they are that good. But that is me.

    Because we live our lives every day making good choices so we can indulge once and a while with the people we love?

    There are healthy options at TCF. Plus a calorie spike day will not hurt us.

    For pure comedy value my favorite is their childrens alfredo pasta which clocks in at 2000 calories. Personally my favorite dish is their plain cheesecake, in my opinion one of the best pieces of cheesecake ever. With some strawberry topping... Believe it or not it is one of the healthiest things on their menu...

    Totally agree. There is no reason not to go....even when you are trying to lose weight. I went there in December for my wedding anniversary. Ate the lettuce wraps (which is my favorite to answer the question of the thread) and the Godiva Cheesecake. Still lost weight for the week.

    The Lemon-Garlic Shrimp: it has Sauteed Shrimp, Basil, Tomato and Lemon-Garlic Sauce. Served with Asparagus and Angel Hair Pasta

    Its on there skinnylicious menu. Under 600 calories to. It was very good and filling. I didn't like the low carb cheesecake... so if you going to get a cheesecake.... get a real cheesecake not low carb(also made me sick) lol.

    Order from the Skinnylicious menu and you'll do fine. Lots of good stuff on the menu with good stats.
