The Cheesecake Factory - Restaurant in Lexington - 3545 Nicholasville Rd, USA

Nice stop for an after Christmas Ballet evening for small plates to share and of course Cheesecake and coffee. The restaurant was fairly quiet and the service was exceptional. Each small dish was fresh, hot and exactly what we wanted. The Mexican Street Corn was an unexpected hit. As always, the cheesecake selections met all expectations and were a perfect nightcap to a festive Christmas season evening.

We were seated in the round booth in corner next to the bar it was a great table. Chicken parmesan pizza style was delicious and s'mores cheesecake was my favorite cheesecake I've ever had there. Waitress was really nice and very attentive.

Cheesecake Factory is the most American of American Restaurants. Food historians in fifty years will discuss the outlandish nature of the venue and the menu. Until then it will be my guilty pleasure of an over the top family restaurant. The food as always was near the top of any version of the dish I’ve had. Yes I’ve had better Club Sandwiches, but not many especially at a place I can order Orange Chicken, Jamaican Jerk Chicken and Korean Fried Chicken. All of course not the best version of the dish but in the top five of the big kitchen full service style restaurants. Cheesecake Factory breaks the rule that a restaurant that does everything does nothing well. This location of the restaurant really shined though above all of the other locations I’ve eaten at because of service. I’ve had good waiters many times, but I’ve never had as good of a true service professional at this style of restaurant as Carlos Z. The man was top of the line and everywhere at once. Bravo!

Had a wonderful dinner here with family and friends. The Louisiana Chicken Pasta is amazing! The Oreo cheesecake was super sweet and tasty!

This place is always PACKED, line-out-the-door busy on Friday and Saturday nights. My fiancé took me out for my first Cheesecake Factory dinner together on a Wednesday night, and it was much tamer. The restaurant is huge and beautifully designed. Our server was such a dear, super kind and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious! We got the pretzel bites for our appetizer, which came with cheese fondue and honey dijon mustard for dipping. DELECTABLE. I got the honey truffle chicken with mashed potatoes and asparagus. SCRUMPTIOUS. I get the hype around their mashed potatoes now! My fiancé got one of their strawberry margaritas and a filet mignon steak dish- also amazing! For dessert, we each got a cheesecake slice: I got the raspberry swirl, he got the Oreo. The staff were so sweet: since I mentioned this was my first time at a Cheesecake Factory location (I’m from Canada and we only have ONE in our entire country that is impossible to get a reservation for), they wrote on my cheesecake plate “Welcome to CCF Lex!”, meaning Cheesecake Factory Lexington! Such a sweet gesture! I highly recommend this location; the food is stellar and the service goes above and beyond. Just make sure to get a reservation if you plan on going on Friday or Saturday night!

We came for lunch. We were not impressed, especially for the prices and quality. The food was fine. However, this is not a place I would go out of the way to eat. I will say the presentation for everything was nice. The bread was ok. It's very crusty and hard on the outside. We had the stuffed mushrooms for an appetizer. They were small and had minimal flavor. Mostly oil and stuffed with a bread based mix. It's not my cup of tea. I had fish and chips. My wife had soup and salad. The fish was fine, nothing special. I didn't care for the tartar suace, and the chips (fries) were frozen garbage. Cold and just plain sucked. The Coleslaw was good, not overly wet and fresh tasting. My wife mentioned the salad was plain. It was all greens with 2 slices of tomato. The clamp chowder soup was ok. Once again nothing special. All in all, it was fine, but I was expecting better. I don't see myself returning when there are way better options for less money. Do yourself a favor. Hit some local eateries.

Cheesecake Factory is my favorite restaurant. The food is always great! Steak Diane is delicious. The menu is huge! And the many different cheesecakes never disappoint.

If you live in Lexington or around the area, ask for Anthony to be your waiter. He is the best and made our night so special! He even wrote a message on our cheesecake plate. Wonderful food and service, will definitely be coming back soon 😊😊😊😊
