Annnnnd I just wasted 20min looking at the Cheesecake Factory menu. Thanks, OP. I havent been in forever but...
Apps--vietnamese tacos and shrimp summer rolls are awesome
Entree--if you like spicy, the jamaican black pepper shrimp is really good. Eggplant/roasted veggie sammich is great. If you havent tried their ranch dressing--it's awesome. even if you just get a side of it and dip random things in it. it's crazy good for some reason, kind of garlicky.
The Chicken Bellagio looks good if youre into 2k cal pasta dishes...crispy chicken breast, basil pasta in parm cream sauce, topped with prosciutto & arugala salad
Apple struesel cheesecake is AWESOME. Im kind of a cheesecake purist though, i like to be able to taste the plain cheesecake flavor.
This is the kind of place that you have to commandeer your dining partner's order....pick your top two entrees/desserts, convince your gf to get your #2 choice...order a couple of apps for the table...get take out boxes at the end and youll be set for late-night snacks too. win/win.
p.s. if you DO decide you care about calories that night, the ahi tuna carpaccio appetizer and a side of white rice ends up being like 500 calories and is 10x better than anything on their 'skinnylicious' menu or whatever retarded name theyre calling it now...

I work there dude. Trust me, the adam's is the best dessert ever. The banana cream and chocoalte tuxedo are damn good too though. As far as entree, the chicken costoletta is damn good. Louisiana pasta is up there, piccata, and the stuffed chicken tortillas. But the BEST thing on the whole menu? Ahi tempura rolls. Trust me

Appetizer. Avocado egg rolls. Unbelievable
Main: I'm a big fan of their chinese food actually. I love the Orange chicken and the Spicy Crispy Beef. The Bang Bang chicken and shrimp is pretty good. Chicken Marsala and Chicken Piccata are prettty good. There is also some spicy pasta I had that was ok. I dunno, but my favorite overall is probably the Spicy Crispy Beef.
Cheesecake: personally I like the Godiva and the Hersheys ones, but I am a chocolate lover.2 time survivor of The Great Misc Outages of 2022

If you ever looked at the calories of the actual meals, this would go far and beyond an overboard cheat meal. With that being said, it's just too good but only once in a great while. Dont think you can go wrong with oreo cheesecake. Great, now craving that, thanks a lot!
