Cheesecake Factory is a hot or miss
Depends on locale
Pricey but big portions
Few chains are worthy actually
Maggianos comes to mind
Original Pancake House....Florida thing
The big Cheesecake Factory in Chicago is top notch
They sure are pricey: http://www.menu-prices.net/cheesecake-factory/
Appetizers - $11
Lunch specials - $12
Salad (guessing a dinner salad) - $15
Sandwich - $13
Slice of cheesecake - $7.50
Uh, no thanks. A lunch special, a glass of tea ($1 less than water!) and a slice of cheesecake, tax and tip is nearly a week’s grocery budget. Cheesecake is a no-brainer and can make a whole one for less than one of their slices. If I need to splurge beyond a baloney sandwich, I’ll make a big homemade $1.50 Scholotzsky sandwich.
