text: Why do people eat here Please tell me I was not too hungry the day I came here but I still ordered a decent amount of food It was funny because the server would not leave us alone at the beginning of our meal but could not be found by the end of the meal The guy gave us a total of minutes to look over their outrageously long menu At any normal restaurant that should be sufficient to order drinks and maybe an appetizer This place you need at least minutes just to sort through the items I had the roasted artichokes and the vegetable salad the full order I believe The artichoke itself was not bad but the sauces that they served were pretty much just mayonnaise and balsamic vinaigrette Not impressive The salad was terrible The lettuce was very bitter Everything else in the salad was bland I do not understand how you can mess up salad I still wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt since they are called The Cheesecake Factory and get some cheesecake We were waiting for about minutes for our server to show up and by that time I did not want dessert I am sure many have said this and I will say it again a place with this many items on their menu just cannot be good If I ever return to any Cheesecake Factory it will be to pick up a togo order of cheesecake to try To dine never again
