I met up with a friend I hadn’t seen in forever and The Cheesecake Factory in Columbia ended up being the perfect place to catch up. We arrived early for happy hour and were seated quickly. It wasn’t crowded or overly loud, which made it easy to actually have a conversation and enjoy spending time together. The food was good, the service was friendly, and everything came out quickly. My only real criticism is that the prices felt a little high for what I ordered, but to be fair, I knew that going in. Overall, it was a great experience and a nice spot to relax, eat, and reconnect with a friend.

Our table ordered grilled crusted salmon, grilled salmon, fettuccine Alfred. All of the dishes were absolutely incredible. The bread brought to the table is unbelievable, and of course cheesecake 😳wow.
The ambience was perfect for four friends to get together and enjoy a meal.
Our server Esther was absolutely fantastic. Friendly, knowledgeable, and was very helpful with questions and suggestions from the menu. Thank you Esther.
I recommend you check this place out and enjoy food, fellowship and a relaxing meal.

I really enjoy the bustling nature of a Cheesecake Factory restaurant. We were seated right away despiye the busy lunch time hour. Score! The server was on top of it all despite the number of tables she had. The comp bread came hot and fast along with our drinks. I ordered from the Skinnylicious menu and had zero regrets. You must try their asian chicken lettuce wrap "tacos." 3 per oder. I odered them twice and brought the one survivor home. It didn't last long plus it traveled well on the long ride home. Husband got a taste and agreed they were as flavorful as I had said. One drawback has nothing to do with the food or service. I just don't understand how a large restaurant has so few bathroom stalls, but notoriously serves the largest portions you can imagine. Terrible decision TCF!

We went just before snow storm and the place was packed. There was no wait time. After we were seated, our server VAL came and apologized for the delay. The order was taken and came as we asked.
Clean bathrooms.
Extra 5 stars for VAL for her politeness, courteous and service. TCCF is lucky to have such good employees. Everyone in my group loved her.

The service was ok, which is why I’m giving 2 stars instead of less. However, my friend ordered the steak tacos and all three tacos had visibly pink/raw meat inside. We brought it to the waiter’s attention, but we were still told we had to pay for the meal even though my friend was unable to eat it. I’ve included photos so you can see the condition of the meat. Very disappointing experience regarding how the issue was handled.
