What To Order At The Cheesecake Factory?

**pollypurebred39** · 08-02-2011, 03:05 PM

Finally going on a date night. Using a Cheesecake factory gift card from Christmas and two free movie passes.

What should I order?

And

What movie should we see?

Never been to one. I have heard they are really good.

I heard they have menu items that are actually healthy for you. Today show showed some of the choices. Just look up the menu on the computer. Will probably help you decide.

Last time I was there, I ordered the Thai Chicken Pasta and it was WONDERFUL!

Know that most of the entrees are GIANT, so big enough to split. That will help stretch your gift card to cover the most important part of a meal there: dessert! Also, check out the bakery while you are waiting for your table (can be a long wait) to see all the cheesecakes available. More fun to choose "in person" than from a list in the menu.

Enjoy your date night!

We've never been to a Cheesecake Factory but I love cheesecake. Basic without all the doodads.

Have a great time!

As for movies, what kind do you like? The newest Harry Potter is wonderful.

I really want to take Wesley to see Captain America.

**pollypurebred39** · 08-02-2011, 05:21 PM

Do you think Captain America is adult enough? It's just us, no kids.

We like comedies, dramas, some chick flick types (depends) Action movies are not out of the question, depends on content.

The Thai Chicken Pasta sounds good.

**McD** · 08-02-2011, 05:24 PM

Absolutely. If anything, they are geared more towards adults and less so towards kids. Have you seen the previews for it?

Have never had a meal at CF that I didn't love - but save room for cheesecake dessert!! What fun!!

**pollypurebred39** · 08-02-2011, 05:33 PM

No, I haven't. But we don't watch a lot of TV, so that's not a surprise. I'll look it up, maybe I'll find some trailers. Thanks.

**pollypurebred39** · 08-02-2011, 05:34 PM

Maui, maybe I'll be like my uncle and eat dessert first.

polly! *hugs* Congrats on scoring a date night!

I suggest taking your large purse and um...a leakproof tupperware container for your leftover entree. Yes I was told they were mega huge portions as well. My friends had starters, salad and then their entree and well...they barely made a dent into it. But they had no problem inhaling their own desserts.

Enjoy your date night polly!

I've enjoyed almost everything I've ordered from there.

The red velvet cheesecake is wonderful! Yum.

I've never met a meal at Cheesecake Factory that I didn't like. The portions are huge. Alot of times I will order an appetizer and dessert. It's all delicious!!!
