Cheesecake Factory
A Dallas Location
I was in Dallas last week helping our daughter move into her new apartment. She purchased some new furniture at a local furniture store close to a Cheesecake Factory location. It was about two o'clock in the afternoon when we finally walked through the front door. The Cheesecake Factory proved to be a pleasant eating experience.
We were warmly greeted by the hostess and immediately seated in a large and comfortable booth. Our sodas were served with a loaf of warm brown bread and a loaf of Italian bread. The menus are huge, like a book. Deciding on an entree took us awhile. We read the various pages and returned to the lunch menu with the smaller portions.
Our waitress was very friendly and polite. She also knew the menu well and was able to quickly answer our questions.
A Beautiful Setting

Most Cheesecake Factory stores are located in shopping centers or malls. They are large restaurants and are designed with outside entrances at the malls.
Inside, you will note the dark wood used in their booths and counters. The booths are large and accommodate large groups. The backs on the booths are high providing privacy for conversation.
The ceilings are painted with elaborate murals and there are usually beautiful columns in the restaurants. The decorative appearance enhances the mealtime.
The Food
Our Meal
I mentioned that we ordered from the lunch menu. The portions were still very large. My salmon was more than sufficient. The garlic mashed potatos and asparagus were tasty. My daughter ordered a club sandwich and could only eat half. She asked for fries on the side and was amazed at the quantity served!
No matter what you order, save room for the cheesecake. There is an endless list of varieties to choose from. We ordered the cherry cheesecake because it is one of our favorites. We shared and could barely finish one slice because of the rich taste. It is worth the trip to sample the dessert.
At the front of the store is a counter display of various cheesecakes available for sale. It will lure you to order dessert.
Enjoy your visit to The Cheesecake Factory. We are looking forward to our next visit and the opportunity to try a different meal. Enjoy!
