This. But if you must, get the shepherds pie. It's beef, but still tasty.

Everything is good from there. Fact. Don't be overwhelmed, just get what you feel is a treat for your birthday mood.

Cheapest item on the menu is Renee's Special, which is daily soup, baby greens salad, AND choice of sandwich. Value! Use the rest of your monies on cheesecake (pick godiva or your fave) :P

Focus on what is good for takeout. Fries are out, pizza, etc, obviously, cause it'll turn to mush by the time you get home.
For what they do best? I would get one of the amazing tossed salads like Santa Fe or that chinese-chicken one, dressing on the side, and then ADD a 2nd dressing of the peanut dressing on the side. This should keep for a couple of days of snacking. They're huge and hit all the senses, crunchy, sweet, savory, fruity, herbal, etc. Thai lettuce wraps appetizer as dinner, same deal, should be fresh for a couple of meals, and the 3 sauces are great! They try to keep trendy and you'll see the appetizers will be the intriguing curious items, so get 2-3 and jump to dessert.

They're known for their giant globe artichoke appetizer (if you've never had it, they split it in half after steaming, and char grill it with balsamic glaze before the aioli dip step. I love it!
They have reputation for chicken tenders and their chicken littles, and chunky mashed and corn are decent reheatable takeout sides. Brick chicken is 1/2 boneless. All of their steak options would be fine by the time you get home. Though good for dining in, I would avoid the ordinary named chinese and italian items that you can easily get elsewhere. They're all fine, but not unique.

fat

you can get fat from the cheesecake factory. Enjoy

I think they make a decent burger. I wouldn't get any pasta item from there. Just 4000 calories of cream shoved into everything.

Imagine getting any of those items from any old restaurant. Now imagine them being ten times better. EVERYTHING at TCF is very high quality. It doesn't matter what you choose, you will love it.

Thank you for the suggestions. I was looking at a steak, but then I remembered I could do that at home twice as big and half as much. Noted on the pasta as well. Hell, I'm prety excited now. everything sounds pretty good.

I am looking forward to the cheesecake the most though, Maybe a classic New York, but I do have a soft spot for all things oreo, so I may give that a try, or maybe fuck it and get both!

They got a giant stuffed burrito the size of a small Philippino woman.

They also sell a nice pasta, don't remember the name, but it's like a Cajun chicken Alfredo. It's a bit spicy.

Can't go wrong with anything on the menu

>Does everything come frozen

Obviously yes. But for whatever reason this place is like crack for roasties, and not just floyover roasties either, coastal roasties who otherwise think they are hot shit and sophisticated still love Cheesecake factory for whatever reason.

I thought about it and can't some up with a good reason why, they just do.

I've taken women here and was always underwhelmed by the food and felt sorry for the cooks having to deal with these huge fucking menus
