Justin's - Santa Clara

We were pleasantly surprised by the chicken taquitos, which I’d rate 5/5. The salsa verde was amazing, and there was plenty of it, so we even added some to the nachos, making them even better! I highly recommend them and will order them again. For dessert, I tried the lemon raspberry cream cheesecake, which I’d give 3.5/5. It was good overall, especially if you're a fan of lemon cake, but I have a sweet tooth, and it didn’t fully satisfy my craving. We also had the vanilla bean cheesecake, which I’d also rate 3.5/5, and it was quite tasty—very creamy and reminiscent of vanilla bean ice cream. I wasn't a fan of the crust, but my boyfriend loved it, so it really depends on your taste. Overall, it was a great experience!

The service took about 30 minutes to bring our plates, but we were seated outside, which was lovely and perfect for people-watching. The wait for a table was just 10 minutes, which was reasonable. Plus, parking is free for the first two hours. We also explored the mall for the first time and discovered many nice high-end boutiques. I appreciate that the Cheesecake Factory allows you to pay online, making the experience more convenient. Overall, it was a pleasant visit!

Came for a friend's birthday on a Thursday evening. I decided to be adventurous and stray from my usual fettucine alfredo, and ordered the italian sausage fresh mushroom rigatoni instead. It was definitely very heavy and greasy (2100 calories, as stated by the menu), but it was tasty for what it was! I was pretty stuffed from the bread, so I was able to take half of the pasta home. We also got a red velvet cheesecake for my friend's birthday they asked if we wanted the sundae or the cheesecake without telling us the cheesecake was an extra charge, which was an unpleasant surprise when the bill came. Regardless, they decorated the plate very nicely and it was also a very delicious cheesecake. Service is on the slow side.

I 've eaten here for birthdays, friend 's get-togethers, Happy Hour, late night desserts, etc. I am so surprised I 've never written a review. Ok, here it goes... Decor is nice, and the lighting is dimmed slightly. Pretty large restaurant that can accommodate several large parties, though you might not all sit together, maybe close as they can, depending on the size of your group. Food is pretty good and a large selection to meet most people 's fancy. And then, save room for their name sake, Cheesecake Factory. They have a large variety to choose from. My favorites here are: Chicken Madeira: Sautéed chicken breast topped with fresh asparagus and melted mozzarella cheese. Covered with fresh mushroom Madeira sauce and served with mashed potatoes. I would always choose the Meatloaf, Meatloaf, Meatloaf. My friend, Teri, said why not try this dish? Really!?! But I love Meatloaf. Well, now I love this dish! Famous Factory Meatloaf: Served with mashed potatoes, mushroom gravy, grilled onions, and fresh buttered corn. Pasta Carbonara: spaghetti with smoked bacon, green peas, and a garlic parmesan cream sauce. Steak Diane: medallions of steak covered with black peppercorns and a rich mushroom wine sauce served with mashed potatoes and grilled onions. Avocado Eggrolls: avocado, sun-dried tomatoes, red onion, and Cilantro fried in a crisp wrapper. Served with a tamarind-cashew dipping sauce. First time having this, and I was hooked. Overall, most things are pretty tasty and delicious.

The bread and the lettuce thai wraps r my fav here!! I was particularly craving the bread so came here for dinner. Cheesecake factory is such a classic so im happy they survived all these year esp thru covid. I personally love the thai lettuce wraps bc they have alot of fresh raw veggies i love, chicken for protein, and delicious sauces. The sauces r sooo good. Second favorite is the cajun shrimp pasta but this one did not impress me. The noodles r skinnier and watery and not tasty. There is plenty of shrimp and chicken tho. Bf got the chicken picata and he was pleased with it. Thin, crispy chicken pieces. There r so many other restaurants so i'll prob be back in 4 years :
