Is The Cheesecake Factory legit?

Legit, mixed reviews

Sit down at The Cheesecake Factory and you are eating at a legitimate restaurant chain found across the US and in several other countries, but delivery is another story. Most of its restaurants deliver through DoorDash, which puts an app between you and the kitchen when an order arrives with items missing.

What we checked

  • Started as a bakery in 1972
  • First restaurant opened in 1978
  • Head office in Calabasas, California
  • Ratings on other review websites: 2/5

Watch out for

  • A bill with a dish priced higher than on the menu you ordered from.
  • A larger group facing a long wait at peak times, even after booking ahead.
  • A delivery order with missing items, placed through DoorDash rather than with the restaurant itself.

Charged above the menu price at Cheesecake Factory?

We help you write it, it gets its own public page, and you can have it sent to The Cheesecake Factory as a formal letter.

Just looking for information? Search through all 19 complaints about The Cheesecake Factory we received.

How do I contact The Cheesecake Factory customer service?

For anything that happened during a visit, the restaurant itself is the place to start: ask for the manager on duty, or call the location afterwards with the date and time of your visit. For complaints that go beyond one restaurant, the guest relations contact options on thecheesecakefactory.com reach the corporate team. Delivery orders placed through a third-party app are handled by that app, not by the restaurant.

Restaurant and delivery app each pointing at the other over a missing order? Start your complaint here and we push it out by email, social media and a letter on paper.

How do I complain about a specific location of The Cheesecake Factory?

Note the address of the restaurant, the date and time of your visit, the name of your server or of the manager you spoke to, and keep your receipt. Raise it with the manager on duty first. If that leads nowhere, go to guest relations through the website with those details: unlike many chains, The Cheesecake Factory runs its US restaurants itself rather than through franchisees, so the corporate team can follow up with the location directly.

A complaint filed through our complaint process backs that up: a community of consumers gives advice while you chase a resolution, and other guests of the same location can find your case and back it up.

How do I get a refund for a wrong, missing or overcharged order at The Cheesecake Factory?

For a dine-in visit, check the bill before you pay and raise any error with the server or the manager on the spot: an overcharge, a dish you sent back or an item that never arrived is easiest to fix while you are still at the table. For takeout ordered from the restaurant, call the location with your order number and photos of what you received. For orders placed through DoorDash or another delivery app, the refund request goes through that app.

If you only noticed the overcharge later on your card statement, contact the restaurant with the receipt and the statement line. Put the amounts, the date and the names in your complaint here and we turn the receipt and the statement line into an effective complaint in minutes.

Who do I contact about accessibility problems at The Cheesecake Factory?

Consumers here have reported seating that did not work for guests with disabilities and long waits that were hard to manage. Tell the host or the manager what you need when you arrive or, better, call the restaurant before your visit so they can prepare. If the restaurant does not accommodate you, describe the visit to guest relations with the date, the location and what was missing.

In the US, access to restaurants is covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act, and complaints about access can also be taken to the authorities that enforce it. Keep your own notes of what happened and who you spoke with.

Is that free Cheesecake Factory gift card offer real?

No. Facebook posts promising free meals or $100 gift cards at The Cheesecake Factory have led to surveys that collect your name, address, phone number and date of birth, with no gift card at the end. The offers did not come from the chain.

What do people complain about most at The Cheesecake Factory?

So far consumers reported 19 complaints about The Cheesecake Factory here, with an average rating of 1.1 out of 5. The most common themes: poor customer service, unprofessional behavior by management, orders with missing items or disappointing dishes, overcharges on the bill, seating that is not accessible, and long waits for food.

What happens after I submit my complaint?

And we stay with it after you file. Our trained AI opens a case file for you and keeps coaching: what to reply, when to push again, and how to escalate if nothing happens.

Can other consumers help me with my complaint about The Cheesecake Factory?
