does everything : only one thing well. the cheesecake factory name shows the full story of their restaurants. they do two main things:
cheesecake: excellent. it's the only reason i ever go there. i'll chunk down $7.00 for a piece of godiva chocolate cheesecake anytime.
factory: they crank out every dish you can imagine as if mass-produced in the factory. but none of it is done with any kind of unique flair. sure, they make just about any dish you'd ever want - but i think they spread themselves too thin and lose their soul by doing this.
and the atmosphere is what drives me crazy. the frisco location is themed egyptian. if you're gonna look equptian inside, you'd better serve egyptian food, otherwise it's just a vegas gimmick (that people show up for in droves). it's noisy, bombastic, everything all the time and feels too much like an amusement park restaurant than a place to have a meal.
so, fight the crowd, get a piece of cheesecake, and take it to go.
