Cheesecake Factory Menu and Prices June 2025 [Check Now]
I'll never forget my first visit to the Cheesecake Factory. Walking in, the hostess handed me what looked like a novel - turns out it was just their menu! With over 250 items spread across 21 pages, I honestly didn't know where to start. But after years of dining there (and yes, I've tried almost everything), I'm here to break down exactly what you're getting for your money in 2025.
Here's what shocked me most: while everyone talks about their massive portions, nobody mentions that most entrees are priced between $15-$25. That's honestly not bad when you consider I usually take half home for lunch the next day. Let me walk you through everything I've discovered about their current menu and prices.

What I've Learned About Getting the Best Value
After all my visits, here's my honest advice:
- Share Everything: I'm serious - their portions are meant for sharing. My husband and I usually get one appetizer and one entree to split, and we're still taking food home.
- Lunch vs. Dinner: The lunch portions are slightly smaller but significantly cheaper. If you're dining solo, lunch is the way to go.
- The Bread Basket: Yes, their famous brown bread is free and unlimited. But pace yourself - it's easy to fill up before your meal arrives!
- Happy Hour: If your location offers it (Monday-Friday 4-6 PM), you can get discounted appetizers and drinks. The deals are actually pretty good.
- Cheesecake Rewards: Join their rewards program. You get a free slice on your birthday and occasional surprise rewards. I've gotten several free slices just for being a member.
Recent Menu Changes in 2025
I was a bit bummed when they removed 13 items from the menu this year, but honestly? The 20+ new additions more than make up for it. The Double Smash Cheeseburger got a major upgrade, and those new vegetable sides are actually incredible. Who knew I'd be raving about carrots at Cheesecake Factory?
The new cocktails are interesting too. That Japanese Whisky Sour pairs surprisingly well with their heavier dishes, and I appreciate that they're adding more mocktails for non-drinkers.

Is It Worth It?
Look, I get it. Some people think Cheesecake Factory is overpriced for what it is. But here's my take: where else can you get a meal that's literally two meals, in a nice sit-down environment, for under $25?
Sure, it's not fine dining. But it's consistent, the servers are usually great, and there's something for literally everyone. My picky-eater nephew, my vegetarian sister, and my steak-loving dad can all find something they love.
The cheesecakes? Yeah, they're $10-13 a slice, which seems steep. But these aren't grocery store slices - they're massive, rich, and honestly worth splitting between two people.
Final Thoughts
I've probably spent way too much time (and money) at Cheesecake Factory over the years, but I keep going back. The menu might be overwhelming, but that's part of the charm. Where else can you decide between Thai lettuce wraps, Louisiana pasta, and a classic burger all in one place?
My advice? Don't overthink it. Pick something that sounds good, prepare to take half home, and definitely save room for cheesecake. Oh, and bring friends - it's way more fun when you can try multiple dishes.
Have you tried their new menu items yet? I'd love to hear what you think! The Chicken Shawarma has become my new go-to, but I'm always looking for recommendations for my next visit.
