The Cheesecake Factory - McLean

This is a fantastic cheesecake factory in the area. We've sampled a few others but keep returning to this one. The place is clean, and even when it's busy, we never had trouble finding a table. The portion sizes are great, and the food is consistently good. I first tried the cauliflower tacos based on the server's suggestion, and they were delicious! The cheesecake slices are also very generous, which is sometimes hard to find these days.

When it was time for dessert, my friend ordered chocolate, while I chose the coconut cream cheesecake. Mine was absolutely delightful. I typically prefer lighter flavors over chocolate, which can be quite rich. The chewy coconut layer at the bottom was slightly sweet and so tasty! I couldn't finish the cheesecake, so I'll save it for tomorrow. I plan to savor it then and also tease my friend, who managed to finish his entire slice of cheesecake!

We called ahead to see if there was a table available, and thankfully there was! This restaurant has always been a tradition for us; every Thanksgiving, we dine here, and I usually order the Parmesan Pasta. However, today I decided to try something different based on the wonderful recommendation from our fantastic waiter: the fog salmon. It was incredible—honestly, the best salmon I've ever had. It wasn't greasy at all, and the sauce, while it may have seemed simple, was delightfully creamy and light. I truly enjoyed the meal. The service was impeccable, with the waiter checking in at just the right moments to ensure we were having a great experience. To the waiter, whose name I forgot to ask, thank you for making this outing so much more enjoyable. When we got home, I hoped you had a great day as well. Here's to continuing our tradition at this wonderful restaurant in the years to come!

Very unforgettable meal with cheesecake for my birthday party. Server was fun and fast. Food was good and plentiful. This special CF has a beautiful atmosphere compared to others.

Great food wait staff. Our waiter was friendly attentive. Food was yummy as always. We were celebrating a birthday so they brought a small ice cream Sunday with a candle to the birthday celebrant.
