The food sucks, honestly I never really eat there. I just pickup a slice of cheesecake. They have this encyclopedia menu of never-ending menu options - but the reality is they have a ton of options because they all are just mediocre.

Both Adam's Peanut Butter cup and the Reese's peanut butter cup cakes are both awesome.

Crispy brussel sprouts ($9)

Don't be fooled by it's size.
It's fluff.
It's mostly loose brussel sprout leaves :(

Will try the peanut butter cheesecake because of your recommendation

The one I don't order? (sorry) ;)

I won't go so far as to say the food sucks but I will say it's bland-ish corporate-American pre-cooked/packaged fare at its finest. The single term I would use to describe it would most likely be "meh".

When my ex and I used to visit her parents in Flori-duh we would always eat there at least once... it was the old folks favorite place! (most of the food is senior-citizen friendly)

Man, have not eaten there in 20 years. National chain restaurants are crap.

Still got a nostalgia for some fast food places, but chain restaurants are a commitment and not worth it.

I've only been there once, and I remember nothing about it. The prevailing sentiment here sounds about right. A chain restaurant that tastes like Sysco; same as all the other chain restaurants. Get whatever. It'll be inoffensive, uninteresting, and you won't be hungry when you leave.

Yeah if you have lots of mom & pop options or small localized chains started by an individual - why go to a national chain? I guess if you don't have those options, it is what it is. I think the only decent chain I've been to recently was a Texas Roadhouse. It was decent. Definitely better than a Cheesecake factory.

Reese's.
I'm assuming that's a dollop of peanut butter on top?

Before lockdown their food was decent. After lockdown things degraded a lot. Their bread used to be good, I loved that black sweet bread but cant recall the name. I like most of their food years ago. Now, not anything. Not even the fuckin cheesecake.

Obviously you don't get full value for the card but still sounds better to me then eating $200 worth of food from Cheesecake Factory!
