The Cheesecake Factory

"Cheesecake Factory is one of our "ole reliable" choices when traveling. Typically we make reservations since it tends to be busy especially on weekends but our wait was just 15 minutes on a Saturday. We were seated in what felt like a separate room with a circular shape with mostly booths (yay - we love booths) and great views of the outdoors. Our server Brandon knew both the drink and food menu really well and gave solid recommendations. Our choices ended up being the Chicken and Shrimp Gumbo, Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo, the traditional Cheeseburger and the Crispy Chicken sandwich. The blue cheese with the chicken sandwich was surprisingly good. Everything was great but the Gumbo had exceptional flavor and seasoning (and wasn't too salty). The Strawberry lemonade was good, not too sweet...perfect. As usual they did not have dark beer, stouts or bocks available so our backup plan was a Model Especial (not dark but the best beer option). Before refilling our son's Strawberry lemonade, Brandon asked if it was ok - not all servers are this self-aware. We ordered cheesecake to-go which was delivered by a food runner. When Brandon returned to the table he peaked into the to-go bag to make sure that the right cheesecake was delivered. 5 stars to you Brandon! PROS - Large menu - Plenty of seating - Walking distance from the Westroads Mall - Consistently good food. The Chicken and Shrimp Gumbo was amazing - As expected, the cheesecake is GREAT CONS - This one is subjective since we love dark beers but it would be great if they added at least one stout or bock to the drink menu"

"It’s a cold December day in Omaha. To our surprise the cheesecake factory was very busy this early afternoon. We got a sit in under 5 min and the food delivery was fast. Angie our waitress was kind and knowledgeable.We will be back. I’ve always the vibe here"

"My daughter and I stopped in for dinner while we were shopping nearby. There were so many choices on the menu that it took us forever to decide. The food was really good and we both ended up taking leftovers home. The only downside was that it took a little while to get seated, but it was a busy evening. We shared a slice of cheesecake before leaving and it was probably my favorite part of the meal."

"We come here every time we are in Omaha. The food, beverage, dessert, and company is always divine! My hubby likes the bacon cheeseburger and I love Shelia's avocado salad. A good key-lime pie is hard to beat! Did tell you the coffee us out of this world as well!"
