Even if you only go for dessert they'll bring a basket of free bread to your table. If you eat all of said bread, be prepared for finishing the cheesecake to be a tasty but stomach-ache-inducing slog.

Layout is different from other Factories I've been too. More Gaudi-inspired. This one is below ground but still great food!

Apart from the obvious fantastic cheesecake, their food is also very good. Their food menu is huge, features food from a multitude of cuisines, and whatever we tasted was freakin' awesome. Good prices

I love this chain, good food, enormous portions and "to die for" cheesecakes. I go there every time I am in the US.

Great place for dinner! Parmesan-herb crusted chicken and grilled salmon were delicious! Love their homemade bread! Loved mashed potato😁

Well. It's a Cheesecake Factory alright. Get a seat by the window and watch the wildlife while avoiding any real conversation with the people who brought you to Cheesecake Factory.

All the menus are so good. Leave some space for cheesecakes!

Fresh Vegetable Salad with green apple from Skinny Menu... One of the bests...
Antoine SimpsonSeptember 13, 2014
Me and friend meet up every year and a early dinner at The Cheesecake Factory. Usually their food was spot on but not today. Both orders were substandard. What a letdown!

Big portions. If you enter through Hancock Center, don't expect to be greeted by a host. Instead of eating dessert at your table, opt to buy your cheesecake at the counter. Lowers the bill a bit.

The Mahi Mahi was awesome and any kind of dessert you get you won't regret!

I'm a fan. I have never eaten the cheesecake though. I'm always full when I finish eating. I'm crazy about a steak with asparagus.
Gabo LugoJune 14, 2017
Very crowded and very dim light. Try to get a table near to a window. The food and drinks good as always.
Dana BeverlyApril 12, 2015
If they're busy (which they usually are) order a slice of cheesecake to go, and eat it outside on the steps!
Thiago SantanaMarch 8, 2015
Amazing food. Every time I'm in Chicago, I have to eat there!
LyndaNovember 15, 2012
Only if you like bananas, but if you don't, get the fresh banana cheesecake anyway...you'll learn to LOVE bananas after eating it!
Paula PatrickSeptember 28, 2018
Fried zucchini is excellent!!! Cheesecake is the bomb but you already know rhat🤣
Jenn LeFloreApril 8, 2015
Okay. I know it's gross. You haven't been there in years. If you must....order off of the Skinnylicious menu and receive normal size food
Jon BillsAugust 12, 2015
Restaurant is looking a little tired. The food is always good at Cheesecake Factory, but this wasn't the best I've had.
Tobias ReiperAugust 24, 2015
I come for the cheesecake and what is to be said other than EPIC!! :)
Chrissy NickelFebruary 28, 2011
Great service. Before we even realized our food was taking a while (very busy) a manager approached us, explained the "wait," and bought us dessert. I didn't think we waited very long. Raspberry choc.
Hamid Alan9aryMarch 5, 2012
The beet root salad was good, n the sirloin stake was great. Fresh strawberry cheesecake was our choice 4 the day
Sergio Dias PereiraAugust 22, 2013
Great time there. Meat pasta too much spiced. Still one of the my favorites in US
Carissa VeraMarch 24, 2019
Fast seating even in rush hour and friendly service!!
Kirill KukuruzaMarch 2, 2016
Steak Diane with mashed potatoes was really tasty!
ScotSeptember 11, 2011
If the wait is too long the bar area is nice and has first come seating. Everything is good. Just had a raspberry lemon cheesecake.
Priya TungrusAugust 24, 2015
Yummy, skip the main course and sample the 30 flavours of cheesecake!
Alexander DunnDecember 16, 2018
I recommend going to the bakery counter and ordering cheesecake to go.
Gizem ZOctober 29, 2017
love their food more than cheesecake. Shrimp taco is yummy😋
CarolOctober 30, 2014
I always get the the Factory Chopped Salad, their dressing is really good!
Tom Van FleetMarch 1, 2020
Funky decor, big menu, usual yummy cheesecake
Christopher LNovember 10, 2019
“Nashville Hot” Chicken Nuggets. They’ll be bigger than you expect! Nice value.
Devrim GündüzJuly 3, 2016
I wish we had an option to test many of the cheesecakes. Unfortunately they don't have this option. We had to eat one single big one.
Dani KremerNovember 15, 2014
Be prepared to wait a lot for a table. Otherwise go to the bar and try to find a seat!
GnrJune 8, 2015
i got dissapointed..very creamy and heavy cakes:(tastes good but too soft,not the way i like..hated guacamole grilled chckn and buffalo wings..not my kind of tastes,next time will be better i hope..
Chriss Jeremy StumpAugust 24, 2010
Steak was good. Navajo sandwich was ehh... Deffinetly not fry bread like the description says. pita vs. fry bread... LoL who are you trying to fool. Dble stroller fit nice in bar seating!
Gabriela GomezSeptember 13, 2014
Excellent recommendation the Chicken Madeira it was great
Daniele EstevesOctober 1, 2012
Wonderful cheesecake: white chocolate rapsberry truffle, perfect...Tacky place decoration, crowded....
JillianJuly 12, 2012
Get the blue cheese BLT burger! And the red velvet cheesecake! They're delicious!
Juan PeraltaOctober 20, 2018
The cheesecake is very good, but the service is awful. Even if it is not busy they will make you wait 20-30 minutes for a slice of cake. It might be a marketing strategy or just...
J Antonio Ruiz HAugust 1, 2017
I don't know why it takes them sooooo long to give you a table if most of them are available
Priscila Zaruvny BorgesJuly 13, 2015
I love the Cheesecake Factory, but the employees here don't seem to want any tips. I was sitting for 10 minutes and nobody came to the table to talk to me. Definitely needing more employees.

Having dinner with my daughter on her graduation… the food was great and the staff was awesome
Rechie ValdezMay 20, 2012
Seared Tuna Tataki Salad is a must have if you want something delish off the skinny menu.
Mallory RundquistMay 28, 2014
Try the dulce de leche caramel cheesecake...you won't regret it
Jeff Ray (mobilejray)October 6, 2013
Don't let then seat you near the kitchen, very loud!!! Delicious food, prices are fair.
Shena CameseAugust 18, 2013
Eat up top. Less of a wait. Red velvet cheesecake is life changing!
Tim MesserschmidtOctober 28, 2014
Make sure to have the sweet potato fries - they're delicious!
Chicago magazineApril 16, 2012
Pick any dish and the Tolstoy-length menu at this swirling grotto likely has it—plus 33 different cheesecakes. Read more
