Top 7 entrees at The Cheesecake Factory
The Cheesecake Factory is probably one of the most well-known restaurants out there that has a huge, and I mean huge menu. And by huge, I mean, by page 20, you’ve barely dived into the entrees section. Holy. Cow. You get out of breath just looking at the menu and flipping all of those pages, let me tell ya.
While tons and tons of people have tried The Cheesecake Factory and been there to witness the large menu and the great food that comes off of it, there are also tons and tons of people that haven’t. If that’s you, then stay tuned because here, we will be diving into the top seven entrees and meals that are 100 percent worth trying (among others, of course), including the billions of others that grace their presence onto one of the most delish restaurant menus out there!
At The Cheesecake Factory, there are so many choices! Here are the top seven entrees that you should try!
7. Cauliflower Tacos
While I personally haven’t tried these for myself, I can tell you one thing right now: I would absolutely love them. I love cauliflower, and let’s be honest: basically everything is better fried, vegetables totally included!
Here’s what they (deliciously-sounding) consist of:
- Soft Corn Tortillas
- Crispy Fried Cauliflower
- Avocado
- Onions
- Toasted Pepitas
- Served with: Rice and Beans
6. Chicken Parmesan “Pizza Style”
This is definitely something that you have to try for yourself in order to get a feel for how large it actually is! So basically, this is a crustless chicken parm pizza, for those watching their crust carbs (but in all honesty probably just make up for it in the amount of bread crumbs that totally and completely encase the flattened chicken patty itself).
The best part (if you haven’t found one already) is the fact that this dish is topped with a tiny little swirled scoop/forkful of Angel Hair Pasta with a deliciously light Alfredo Cream Sauce! Yumm-oh!
It’s topped with “Marinara Sauce and Lots of Melted Cheese” as the website itself says! Sounds delish to me (I’ve had it and damn it was huge, but damn it was good nonetheless)!
5. Factory Turkey Burger
If you love turkey, burgers, and maybe cutting some calories, then this dish is simply the one for you over at the factory. It’s Ground Turkey Meat mixed and blended in with some fresh cut Mushrooms, Garlic, and some additional Spices (ask your waitress if you’re curious or have allergies and/or intolerances to certain spices), with some pretty hefty toppings of the following:
Personally for me, if I ever try this dish, since I haven’t already, then I’d probably just do Mayo in substitution for the Garlic Aioli. I’m not much of a garlic fan, so the garlic mixed in with the turkey meat itself would suit my taste buds just fine. But order it however you like it! Don’t listen to me!
4. Molto Meat Flatbread Pizza
Now personally, I’ve never tried this dish before; however, I’m definitely a sucker for a Meat Lover’s type of pizza (and let’s be honest, most meat eaters are). Here are the ‘molto’ meats that are on this Flatbread Pizza at The Cheesecake Factory:
- Prosciutto
- Sausage
- Housemade Meatball
- Pepperoni
- Smoked Bacon
This pizza is all topped with Parm, Mozz, and of course some delicious Red Pizza Sauce. If you look at the picture on the restaurant’s website, then you’ll notice that the Pepperoni curls; personally, I’d rather it flat (weird, I realize that), but it does make the edges super crispy, which I can totally appreciate. Your thoughts on Curly Pep?
3. Stuffed Cheddar Burger
Stuffed. Cheddar. Burger. What three words sound better than that? I’ll wait….
So, anyways, this burger at The Cheesecake Factory is super unique because it is stuffed with American and Cheddar Cheese in the middle of a super juicy ground beef burger patty. It also consists of Grilled Onions and Special Sauce (of course with the super classic burger toppings as well). Now, what’s in this Special Sauce you may ask? Upon further research, here’s what I found:
"Here’s what a Cook at The Cheesecake Factory had to say: “….two very precise amounts of ketchup and our housemade rémoulade sauce.”"
2. Truffle-Honey Chicken
Fried Chicken (like Tenders), Truffle-Honey (like Glaze), Asparagus, and Mashed Potatoes!? What could be better?! Honestly, having tasted this dish myself, it’s the absolute perfect amount of sweet and savory combined. The crispiness of the chicken is unlike any other, and definitely something that you should try when you find yourself here!
1. Crispy Chicken Costoletta
Okay, people. We have arrived at The Cheesecake Factory’s number one best-in-the-world entree! The Crispy Chicken Costoletta is something that if you’ve never tried before or don’t know what it is, you definitely should.
It’s got this super crispy outer shell, breaded and sautéed for the most perfect amount of crunchiness within each bite, and served with a tangy and sweet lemony sauce. Mashed Potatoes and Seared Asparagus are served on the side (which is super crispy and delicious and I absolutely love); however, if you’re more of a potato person (which who isn’t am I right), and less of a veggie person, ask for extra mashed instead of the veggies; you’ll get like a pound of potatoes and let’s be honest, there’s really nothing else like it (as good)!
Honorable Mentions
Renee’s (Lunch) Special – You get your (fresh) choice of a Fresh Turkey Sandwich or a Chicken-Almond Chicken Salad Sandwich, a cup of their Soup, and a Small Green Salad (or choose the Chicken Cesar Salad for a $1.00 upgrade/upcharge). This is such a freshly delish option not to be slept on and looked over!
Jamaican Black Pepper Shrimp – Sauteed Shrimp, Very Spicy Jamiacan Black Pepper Sauce. This deliciously looking dish is also served with Rice, Black Beans, Plantains (um yes please), and Marinated Pineapple (again….um yes please)!
