Advantages: Great Food, Great service, great locations.

Disadvantages: Not for someone looking to lose weight !!

Sometimes I feel my life revolves around Cheesecake !! If i'm at a restaurant and one of the desserts is a Cheesecake, i'll generally go for that, if i'm at the supermarket and im looking for a Dessert i'll normally gravitate towards the Cheesecakes, which brings me to this review, I recently visited a Cheesecake Factory near me in Buffalo NY and had to review and spread the word.

The Cheesecake Factory was founded in 1978 with its first restaurant in Beverly Hills California, over the years they have expanded to currently 161 locations around the United States, the chain is famous for offering huge menu's with custom decor in the restaurants and of course an extremely large selection of over 50 signature Cheesecakes.

One of the most distinctive features of the restaurant chain is that they offer ENORMOUS portions. something that will certainly appeal to a lot of people, however I must warn you that it takes a brave soul to be able to order a starter, main course and Dessert and be able to finish the whole thing, especially if the main course is something like their babyback ribs or the factory burger. but the food is excellent quality, the dining setting is normally first class and of course the Cheesecakes are incredible, i have visited a few Cheesecake Factory's over the years, beginning in 1999 with a visit to a location on Miami, to which I would become a semi-regular as I was based in the area for a while, the location closest to my heart is the Cheesecake Factory on Waikiki Beach in Honolulu Hawaii, which is where me and my now wife had our first date, its a splendid setting with great decor and a lovely terrace on Waikiki beach where you can people watch, and now my regular haunt is the location in Buffalo NY where I live.

Its main appeal to me ( besides the huge portions and large selection of my favourite Dessert is that its the one restaurant chain i've been to where so far I haven't had a bad experience, the staff are always friendly and helpful, the settings are always impeccably clean and well decorated and of course the food is always first class.

If you're ever in the States and somewhere close to a Cheesecake Factory location I would strongly recommend a visit if you're looking for a good chain with good food

Summary: A cut above the usual casual dining restaurant chains !!
