Cheesecake Factory Review First Time Dinning first Reactions

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Hi Everyone in today's video I don't know how folks felt that we where giving Chessecake factory a bad review. We pointed out a few (personal) opinions. Overall we had a good experience and would do it again. We are just two everyday (non foodie) folks just sharing our review with you. Thanks so much for watching ❤

[@ReaganThatcher]

Thanks for sharing your review. Everyone has their own opinions but I think y’all did a great job and were very fair and honest. I have to say that menu is waaaaay too big lol

[@bonniebrown6960]

I was supposed to go to The Cheesecake Factory 17 years ago. My friend's were going to take me on my birthday Nov. 3rd , but... my son was sick and I couldn't go. I thought I'd get another chance to go later on, but I haven't yet. 😏 I agree with you Will, I like my steak to tasted like steak. I've never tried that sauce you were talking about, but I've heard of it before. I always thought it was a sweet sauce since it comes in a bottle that looks like syrup. lol !! I guess not right ? 😊 Maybe the next time ya'll go, you can ask them not to cook it with the sauce on them? I'm a whimp when comes to hot spicy anything. Ha..! Some of those looks on Dawn's face is priceless. Love you guys bunches. God bless you. 🥰👍

[@valleygirl8973]

Thought you did a good job. Gave a lot of positive comments. Appreciate your honest views on the food. Not everyone has the same taste in food. Daddy always said "that is why there is chocolate and vanilla". Keep up the good work. We appreciate you.

[@ashleyhenson290]

You definitely need an idea of what you are in the mood for before you go. Their menu is a book.

[@beth2951]

It's a chain restaurant. A chain restaurant is usually just so so and seems you nailed it with your words. OK, by me.

[@charmingcharlie8564]

We have a Cheesecake Factory here in Lexington. We dont go that often because its so expensive but when we do go, we LOVE it!

[@lizcortez4897]

Yeah it's a bit pricey for us...just special occasions..😬

[@smokymountainman4964]

Hi Charming Charlie

[@ville666sora]

It's expensive but the portions are so massive that the price is worth it to me. But I still would only go on special occasions because the food is awful for you lol.

[@billieglennbusch2189]

The first time there can be overwhelming and I know the menu is, BUT it is one of the few places I can go and they have real chefs making real food and not using microwave or pre-cooked food and just heating it up. I agree it is expensive but I get what I pay for and I have to say that the BBQ ranch chicken salad is always awesome and the plain cheesecake or with strawberries is the best !!

[@conniecrawford5231]

Edamame, not Lima beans! Snow peas, not green beans!

[@sherryd339]

I’ve never been there. We don’t eat out much. If going to a restaurant that might be pricey maybe read the menu online first so you know what to expect. That way you can read exactly what’s on the food in case you don’t like it and don’t waste your money. My daughter brought home a piece of their peanut butter cheesecake and she loved it. Blessings from Diane in Oklahoma! ❤️

[@virginiaalexander4999]

Doesn't look like lima beans. It was edamame. I agree with Will on the steak but the Italian dish & Caesar salad looked delicious.

[@dianakoontz3518]

I have eaten at this Cheesecake Factory before, and everything is always good.

[@caroltumey6800]

Love the Cheesesteak Factory!! A place to eat when celebrating something becauseoftheexpense!!

[@laurab1565]

Cheesecake Factory is pricey but still really good I think. I would say give it another try and order something different. I'm sure the description of the Hibachi Steak would have let you know about all the toppings. Maybe try the plain Strawberry Cheesecake next time if you don't want other flavors in there. HIGHLY RECOMMEND the FRIED MACARONI AND CHEESE. Love the video and appreciate your honesty!! 💜💜💜

[@mj72924]

Love the Cheesecake Factory! Menu is a bit overwhelming.. 75$ for Lunch is too pricey in my opinion also Will. A good place to go when celebrating special occasions. Also, try the Lunch menu next time.. might save you a few bucks😂

[@richardglenn8229]

Their Godiva Chocolate cheesecake is THE BEST!!! And they have great chicken and waffles

[@loridaniels4504]

I think the Lima beans are edaname

[@rebecca1995]

Love Cheesecake Factory! Nice I agree the menu is overwhelming! I think it wasn't lima beans but edemame. Delicious!!!

[@scottshaver5495]

Will and Dawn, great 👍🏻 review, I’ve never eaten at the cheese cake factory, looks like a really nice place. Thanks for sharing. From Kentucky

[@mhbbej1]

Will and Dawn I really like your videos. As someone who has spent his whole life in NYC if you ever come up here I would love to give you a tour of all the great food in the five boroughs. Especially Brooklyn and Queens.

[@michaelburroughs7494]

We have one here in Columbus too. Not only is it expensive, but it is so noisy you can't hear the people at your own table talk.

[@triatheletewolf7279]

I agree. Way too expensive for the atmosphere you get. There are always plenty of locally owned restaurants in cities with TCCF that are much better.

[@joseluiscastillo6170]

I have never had anything bad at the cheesecake factory...yummy!

[@dhigdon0629]

Love the review. We Love the Cheesecake Factory. We love the steak Diane but love all their food and the Cheesecake is Awesome!!

[@cathifowler2567]

I love the Cheesecake Factory. Y’all just ordered the wrong things even the cheesecake lol. It’s just a once in awhile/special occasion place for me.

[@janetchaffin7038]

My mother and I enjoyed the video. My mother has had a bad week, but I heard her laughing for the first time this week over Dawn's expressions. Thank you for that! Keep up the great work and don't let the naysayers get to you!

[@teresacantrell7400]

Oh my goodness I love their bread!!!! The dark bread is my favorite ❤️

[@zoraidalopez2505]

For me, the suggested tip should be on the total of the ticket before the tax is calculated, but most of them are already doing it for the total of the ticket. The variety on the menu turned out to be spectacular. Thanks for sharing !!! ❤️

[@SheGoneAgain]

My opinion on Cheesecake Factory, we order a plate and share. (Chicken Madeira) is wonderful, but I have noticed the chicken is a smaller portion (managing food costs I’m certain). Best bet on the Cheese cake is the Original with Strawberry, and hint, hint, wink, wink…the slice has gotten a bit thinner as well. I can’t do wasabi! No way Jose!

[@debb4089]

I like Cheesecake Factory, it’s a tad expensive for our pocketbook.

[@alicevaughn7990]

Will and Dawn keep doing what you are doing. The two of you are special. Love your videos, and love you both! God Bless

[@mikebasham949]

If you ever go back order the fried Mac & cheese appetizer. It is the best thing there. Also the burgers are great and most of the dishes with chicken as well. Thanks for all your reviews. Me and my wife enjoy watch Will & Dawn’s Yankee in the South.

[@francesmartin8529]

Bawaahaaaa Mrs. DAWN. YOUR FACE EXPRESSIONS IS A KODAK MOMENT IN Each scene..love love love it

[@yankeeinthesouth]

it will

[@hifistuded]

You are very sensible not being intrusive, good job working like that.

[@donaldlewis567]

We eat here once a week - Minnetonka, MN - one it because the menu is so huge and they stayed open when other restaurants closed in Minnesota due to Covid as they had an outdoor patio as well which was heated. The food portions are gigantic and if you share the price is great. Love the pizza, salads, brussel sprouts, chicken marsala, burgers, club sandwich, omelettes, I could go on and on! They had a gift card deal the day after thanksgiving with buy a 25 dollar gift card and get two slices of cheesecake for free - it is a great deal. 17 dollars worth of cheesecake for free! The rest of the holiday season you get one slice for free - still a good deal. Happy hour is 4-5 pm and can also save you some more money with half price appetizers.

[@shannoncampbell5380]

We just bought that bread at Food City….it actually said Cheesecake Factory on the label…..it was really delicious!!!! We ate it with some lemon chicken pasta!!! 😊

[@josephgottschalk641]

TheChicken Marsala is incredible! We always share that and still don’t eat it all. Then we share a slice of cheesecake. We get plenty to eat and it keeps the cost within reason. Thanks for sharing!

[@eyeje19]

I loved their Pineapple 🍍 or (pine+apple 🌲 🍎) lol... upside-down cheese 🧀 cake 🎂 the most... and I love their Impossible Burgers 🍔 as well.

[@tammull9267]

I love their cheesecake especially the red velvet and turtle.

[@joejeffers2406]

Food look good also the cheesecake thanks for taking us along hope you guys are doing well

[@DianaLynne-27]

We have one here in Tulsa and it is great. Thanks for sharing👍❤️

[@stacysatterfield2154]

Years ago with a close friend we would sometimes just get a drink, appetizer or salad, dessert

[@juliemckibben1184]

If you want the best meal, try Pattys Settlement in Grand Rivers Ky. It’s a memorable occasion. Get a pork chop.

[@taradalmatianshaver6828]

I love the Cheesecake Factory but it is a little pricey so I do not go often, loved watching Dawn’s face, it is priceless! Thank you for taking us along!

[@bertadelaudebri7179]

Thanks for sharing your personal reviews of the greater Smoky Mountains area. And, we do enjoy your critiques and recommendations regarding these.

[@lynettetruitt7534]

Lol, I loved your faces in this video especially when trying the Wasabi.

[@TheBichonma]

So glad you had a chance to try one of our fav go to places. We live in So California and Cheesecake Factory is a fav. Deserts are always shared, lol.

[@lindastapleton2324]

I love that you two share! Love watching!♥️

[@ginamommy]

My favorite meal at Cheesecake factory is the Miso Salmon. Very good! When I do get cheesecake i keep it simple because I really like cheesecake. The key lime is good, the low sugar one is good too.

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@jackiejohnson8609]

Thanks for sharing. I've never been to the cheese factory. I will go now! Looks amazing

[@kimberlylyerly2207]

Dawn's facial expressions crack me up. LOL And the Wasabi reaction from both of you was a riot. I've never been to Cheesecake Factory, but have heard it's delicious. 😋 Thank you both for the review! Hugs and God bless ❤️ 🙏 ❤️

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Glad you enjoyed

[@CoutureCrystals]

The brown bread is where it's at!!

[@theonewhomjesusloves7360]

They have Cheesecake Factorys all over California, great food..i cant eat wasabi...i know exactly what you mean about the sinuses.

[@janetwhitlatch5915]

I use to eat at Cheescake Factory a lot when I lived in Sugar Land TX. You are correct that the cheesecake lacks the traditional cheesecake flavor. My favorite is the caramel flavor...Dolce La Leche or something like that. My favorite menu item was the Romano Crusted Chicken with a side of spaghetti with tomato sauce. Occasionally I would get the Shrimp Scampi but it really had way too much garlic. Angel hair pasta with shrimp is good. I never got a steak there because, as Will said, they hide the steak in all kinds of sauces. They come out with a new cheesecake flavor every July. I really like the Red Velvet but it is super sweet. It is expensive but a nice treat too.

[@stacysatterfield2154]

Yes wow Wasabi (Japanese Horseradish) great for your sinuses. I like Wasabi peas. Too expensive for lunch. Really hard to decide on what to eat

[@kitterkat007]

Bread can be really healthy,if you stick to 100% whole grain or maybe 100% whole wheat...I know,everyone is worried about gluten these days,but I think alot of people who avoid it aren't really even allergic.

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thank you for the tips we appreciate it

[@sandraperkins1260]

Great place. Wonderful menu. Went to one in Chicago.

[@Rhondagail]

Yes we have a cheesecake factory here too but we don't go very much either because it's expensive but it's good

[@janbohn3581]

I loved your honest review of The Cheesecake Factory. I have always wanted to go there and it seemed a little pricey when I looked it up before. I loved Dawn and the wasabi🤣 I once accidentally mistook wasabi for guacamole so I know how you feel. I love y'all both. Thank you for keeping it real. l appreciate your videos

[@dinibo]

Cheesecake factory suffers from trying to do too much. I've had great things and ok things and terrible things. The key when ordering is to ask the staff what are the things everyone orders. Plus it's always risky getting pasta or steak outside of a restaurant that specializes in those items. I'd encourage you to try it again with different items and for sure get a real cheesecake next time! You probably picked one of the worst options unfortunately.

[@smby65]

Looks good 👍 we had one here in murfreesboro but it closed.

[@sheilawillis490]

Will, we've ate at the one in Atlanta...you were spot on...we felt it was TOO expensive for the food...will only go back and get a slice of cheesecake and bring it home....

[@joannebelliveau2878]

Love the cheesecake factory all food price are going up they are average prices

[@susan5494]

CF is wonderful! It may be higher than some places but so is the quality and portions. Delicious! ❤

[@theresapickenspickens9485]

Cheesecake Factory has been around in Atlanta, Ga for years. I think it is too pricey. If you want to experience just their cheesecake go to Walmart or Publix and purchase the variety box. I believe there are 3 or 4 flavors included. I think it is delicious! You can find it in the frozen cake/pie section. Also, I have seen the wheat loaves of bread for sale in the grocery store.

[@sheilawillis490]

Pricey....we have one in ATL...we get a slice of cheesecake and go home...the food is not worth the money to us.

[@marysewitsky4823]

Oh no, that plate looks great, salad included

[@wayneknight4104]

you should try Hot Rods 50s diner in Alcoa, its got a lot of choices

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thanks Wayne

[@almagivler567]

Put small amounts of food at a time in mouth it taste better !!

[@candicemozingo7736]

We love the Cheesecake Factory. It’s a place we go for special celebrations. We have to travel about an hour or so away to Raleigh to visit the closest one to us. We live near the NC coast. My personal favorite is Parmesan Crusted Chicken and tuxedo cheesecake. I have had the burgers too. They are wonderful. Our family of 5 has tried many different things and we’ve discovered what we love and what we don’t. Give it another try.

[@karenschreiner5932]

Love the snow peas mixture

[@rainaroden2942]

I really appreciate your honesty when rating

[@hillorisartin6129]

Dawn's face tells all. 😄

[@KarensTownsend9]

That's edamame beans..they are crunchy.. I love them

[@themoodyphotographer59]

My wife and I love Cheesecake Factory but the cheesecake is so rich I can’t ever finish a slice, I have to save some for later. It’s 100 miles away from us but we still go 2 to 3 a year.

[@destroyerj]

The War & Peace book-sized menu should explain the sizable kitchen staff, huh?

[@ville666sora]

Cheesecake Factory is the place to go when you're dining out with multiple people and no one knows what kind of food they want or everyone wants something different lol. They really have something for everyone.

[@susanmelton2779]

Thank you for doing this one ,I was curious on what it was like because its a place I have never been. Price is a little high indeed but might be something I would like to try in the future but now I know what to expect.

[@bonniestevens4168]

Just keep doing honest reviews!

[@sandyb.5287]

We head to Orland mall once a month or so for A Cuban sandwich , Cobb salad or a chicken flat bread and always always always a banana cheese cake yum....love there food

[@reedberry]

In your title, DINING is misspelled. There should be only one N in the word.

[@heatherrowe4591]

I love the Cheesecake Factory ! Haven’t been there in ages. My favorite is tiramisu!!

[@heatherrowe4591]

And when I first went there 10+ years ago I thought it was pricey too

[@rosacb5766]

you guys are awesome, enjoy your meals. I love watching you two together :) ❤

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@lmrcollins]

We are at CF in 2018, on our first trip to TN, 🧡 It was amazing and delicious and the cheesecake was awesome 👏🏼

[@Julzyboo]

Cheesecake factory is a rare treat for us when we're that way. I love the attention to details and variety of choices. It is very pricey which is why it's a rare treat lol. I really enjoy your reviews but the camera angle looking straight up your nose is less to be desired lol

[@janiceyoung2652]

Never been to a Cheesecake Factory! Only seen the one Penny worked at on The Big Bang Theory! Thank You for sharing with us! The salad and Italian trio looked delicious

[@garygarner1095]

not a big fan of their food but love the red velvet and oreo cheesecake

[@wmotjazz89]

Thanks for sharing! I prefer their lunch pizza and salad but never had the cheesecake.

[@ericsoderquist3969]

My wife and I live out of state and are familiar with the Cheesecake factory. Our favorite cakes are the tuxedo and the fudge cake. I recommend the cashew chicken. Its not too spicy but gives a subtle heat and good flavor. 8)

[@lakeeriehillbilly9558]

We have one up north in Columbus Ohio area. Always wondered what their food was like. Have heard its pricey. Dawn`s plate look very delicious though.

[@brendamoody4829]

The Cheesecake Factory ALWAYS has large plates so they are definitely shareable!!! They have soooo many choices!! Even though I LOVE this restaurant, I would prefer to have a softer butter ( with a butter knife) and unfortunately there are a few dishes and desserts that are not my favorite But they do have ALOT of great food. Next time when you are thinking about ordering a “ new and different “ dish, make sure you ask your server about it first to make sure that is exactly what you want. I personally LOVE their salmon!!! And also you can take the cheesecakes to go!!! Hope this helps!!

[@greysonlee665]

Going to try for the first time in a couple weeks! Early valentines dinner for me and my man Trying to do as much research as possible

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Have fun!

[@alandenniston8209]

Will & Dawn, if you want a plain steak order their Ribeye or Filet mignon steak. Their Oreo cheesecake is our fave.

[@keithsanders2792]

Little pricey for me. We've noticed since the fire and Covid, prices for lodging, food and entertainment have skyrocketed in the G'Burg and PF area. We used to come down 2 to 3 times every year but now we're lucky if we can afford once a year. We still love the area though.

[@stanrock2225]

This is the best supper and dessert anywhere. Oreo one is awesome. Steak and chicken combo is one of their best entrees.

[@angiedillman6251]

I love bread and butter too! I have never been to that restaurant either. Enjoy

[@jackiebrooks526]

Food looked really good. Especially the salad. Have never eaten there before. Will definitely have to try now!

[@sonyafox3271]

They are a little bit of on the expensive side! But, definitely a great splurge, one of the best things is the pan roasted chicken with mashed potatoes is absolutely delicious. Always got to get a slice of cheese or 2 to go for us cheesecake lovers,but, still can’t beat the traditional favorite of mine, which is the simple Strawberry cheesecake. There cheesecake is definitely the best because, they make theirs different and,it’s made much more creamier.

[@sammycombs7330]

Thanks for the food reviews ☺️. Have you guys ever did a review on Tennessee Jeds?

[@sunshinensprinkles9322]

Thank you for the review. I’ve always wanted to dine at the Cheesecake Factory.

[@LennyFlorentine]

The Miso Salmon is our go to meal!

[@ms.tep_]

I have never been to a Cheesecake Factory myself, but have heard from others that it is very good but pricey and a place to go for a special occasion. I thought Dawn's food looked good and also the Cheesecake! Thanks for sharing and for your review!

[@caroljames6371]

I always order from the Skinnylicious menu. Less guilt!!!

[@paulajones2810]

The chicken Madeira is the best meal we have ever had!

[@eyeje19]

I personally Love this restaurant and I do not consider it too expensive in comparison to other Big name restaurants

[@Kandy77788]

Also guys.. next time get a slice of plain cheesecake and ask for the warm chocolate sauce on the side… it’s amazing!!☺️☺️☺️ they really do have some good cheesecake but I find simpler is better there!!😉😉
