What's your order at Cheesecake Factory?

[freshly snipes]

oh man Chili's > Cheesecake Factory, EASY. I like Chili's because it is always consistent. Maybe not the best food, but you always get what youexpect.

After serving/waiting in a restaurant I don't even like to go out to eat anymore.

Good question. I'm not a lightweight eater at all, but only once have I finished an entire entree. How are somepeople finishing appetizers,entrees,and dessert?

I eat out 4-5 times a week (for lunch). Most of them are chain places (Fridays, Ale House, Macaroni Grill, etc.) and let me tell ya, Cheesecake Factory ishorrible. I've been there 3 times and it's sucked all 3 times. From the service to the food, it sucked. And I'm the least bit picky when itcomes to dining out so it takes a lot for me to write a bad review. Even if it sucked the first time, I give them the benefit of the doubt and go back andgive them a second chance (as I did with CCF). It sucked 3 times in a row.

So why are they so successful? My guess is: location, location, location. They usually put them in trendy mall areas. So usually trendy people who don'tknow anything about food eat there. And trendy people usually think trendy = good quality.

Macaroni Grill is that Piff.

That and also because of the way they market themselves. The roll out these restaurants with low lighting, high ceilings, etc. to create in aperson's mind the idea of what a classy restaurant is. I'm also convinced the ridiculous wait times are completely artificial. I've had to wait 15minutes even though it was just one friend and myself in an obviously empty restaurant during lunchtime. I could go on but I won't. Honestly, if I wasgoing to be dropping $15-20 per person, Cheesecake Factory would be the last on my list of places to go. I can get much better food with a better diningexperience for that money.

Macaroni Grill is consistently good. Never had a problem with the food or the service. Don't sleep on the spaghetti and meatballs with bolognese (meatsauce) and the peach tea.

Mac Grill is probably one of the under rated chains out there, while Cheesecake is the most over rated one. I used to eat at Claim Jumper and MacGrill on the regular basis when I worked at Circuit City since they were close by. I've had Cheesecake Factory about 4 times (not my choice, chick I gowith loves that place for some reason) and the wait time is ridiculous and prices were too high for mediocre at best food.
