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.

I was very disappointed with the portion size of the Grilled Salmon, especially for a $30 dinner entrée. I’ve ordered this exact meal before in both the lunch and dinner portions, so I’m familiar with the difference. What I received was even less than the lunch-sized portion, despite being charged the dinner price. The food itself was fine, but the portion did not match what I ordered or paid for. For $30, I expected to receive the full dinner-size entrée.

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.

We celebrated my brother in laws birthday at The Cheesecake Factory in Columbia, and our server Esther V made the whole night soooo sweet .
Esther was phenomenal from start to finish!!! She was moved sections in the middle of her shift yet still killing it ! She knew so much about the menu, incredibly attentive, genuinely sweet, and a great multitasker especially with two sections. She kept our drinks refilled, checked in at the perfect times, and made sure everyone at our table had exactly what they needed.
The highlight was when she brought out a birthday dessert and sang Happy Birthday to my brother in law TJ. :)
Thank you, Esther, for making TJ and the family’s night soooo special !!

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.
