Man Explains Why Cheesecake Factory Is Probably The Weirdest Restaurant On Earth And It’s Pretty Spot On
In today’s world, reviews are a strong factor for any business. Good reviews can bring a business to new heights and bad reviews can burn it to the ground. And sometimes, awful reviews can turn out for the best.
Twitter user MaxKriegerVG posted a review in the form of a tweet thread about one of the recently redesigned Cheesecake Factory restaurants. It is a detailed and intricate account of one man’s experience, yet hilariously ridiculous how no better words could describe it all.
Twitter user MaxKriegerVG went on a rant that ended up being an accurate review of the Cheesecake Factory

The idea behind this design originally was to appeal to a variety of “regular Joes” with a luxuriously exotic feel. Even the designer himself admits that it looks horrible, but he still managed to do it justice by creating an almost Las Vegas feel to it. And the world got a hilarious review about it!
Rarely does a review embrace such colorful terms as “postmodern design hellscape” and compare interior decorations to Sauron’s Eye. Rarely does “Victorian”, “Egyptian” and “Rococo” appear in a single sentence when describing the design style. Rarely does a rant come out as an accurate and entertaining review.
The Cheesecake Factory was brought to you by Hollyweird. It's always reminded me a bit of Cecil B. DeMille's "The Ten Commandments" in terms of decor and Hollywood's faux elegance in every other sense. Nothing is real, everything is a set piece, it's about overwhelming with spectacle and nothing memorable. 2a-1.jpeg
Wth I though the cheesecake factory was only in the big bang theory. Mind blown
Hah hah, this was a great read. I have never had a more bizarre and out-of-body experience than eating at a Cheesecake Factory when I was in the US. I kept on thinking that no amount of psychedelics would get me through the experience.The interior design and fifty page menu (yeah, I’m exaggerating, but it went on for ever) was as utterly strange and chaotic as described above. Perhaps I was drugged by one of the waiters as I began to consume my 9.00 dollar cheesecake with a growing sense of sadness and ennui. However, I couldn’t stop eating it despite the fine layer of sugar that I could feel covering my teeth and the fact that I may have been slowly eating my way to a heightened state of Nirvana induced sugar ecstasy. I’m not sure if I left a happier person or not...
Every word is true and this subject has long been discussed in the design field. When I was in design school this was always used in reference to tacky BS. Love the cheesecake though.
I know its gaudy but part of me loves it, it reminds me of that weird 90s aesthetic some chain restaurants got back then. I'm from Australia but when I went to Vegas in the 2000s, some of the casinos reminded me of this, like Treasure Island and Caesar's Palace etc... its probably nostaliga talking but this reminds me of those times.
I watched The Big Bang Theory. Penny worked at The Cheesecake Factory. It didn't look anything like this. Guess all the money went on salaries rather than sets.
I don't like cheesecake. There, I said it. Been to TCF 3 times. Got the grilled cheese. It's overwhelming/underwhelming all at once.
When I was a kid, there was a Cheesecake Factory at the city mall, and at the time, I thought the reason my family never went was because it was one of those fancy places where fancy grownups went for whatever mysterious gatherings wealthy adults went to where a child would never in a million years be allowed, because children did not know how to tie a necktie or drink from a real glass cup, and had no work things to talk boringly about. Nope, turns out my parents just weren't trashy, so they didn't go to Vegas-themed restaurants known only for tacky decor and excessive carbs.
To add the outrageous design choices: the one in Boulder, Colorado has a fCKING TRAIN
I'm always disappointed in the food...it's pricey and it's just not that goid.
I absolutely love the decor. Yes, it is different, but that is the point. Yes, it looks like Vegas, but I happen to adore vegas architecture. I think the critic displays an elitist view which blinds him to the GENIUS of the design.
Man I thought I was the only one that really just didn’t understand the decor or TCF. It’s wild in there y’all, it’s so distracting with the multitude of different ethic designs it’s a rollar coaster of nonsense and I f*****g love it
I prefer to eat my rustic chicken pot pie in a 1940 grand movie theatre fever dream, don't we all?
And their cheesecake is as real as their decor. Most of them are pudding cakes that have never seen the inside of an oven. The few that have are boring and flavorless. Do yourself a favor: grab the recipe for the ORIGINAL, Lindy's New York Cheesecake, and make it at home. It's easy, and you will never find a better tasting cheesecake.
This has been around the block a few times, but it always brings a smile and a giggle to my day. His descriptions are fantastically spot on! Such a great writer!
I refuse to eat there. Like, one of my stated goals in life to never eat at the Cheesecake Factory. This look at it makes me feel like I've made a good choice.
I went to one in Ft. Lauderdale when I was visiting relatives and we went out to eat. I paid no attention to the decor, that's how hungry I was at that moment, and I have to say, the descriptions of the menu and food are spot on. Confusing menu. but the food was better than Applebees or TGI Friday's. I didn't try the cheesecake.
Hiw can you go to the cheesecake factory and NOT EAT A FRIGGIN CHEESECAKE?

The basic set was likely built for simplicity, angle, and audio on the the four-camera stage, which would cheaper and more camera-ready. While not researched, it stands to reason CF signed off on it for free product placement. So no, not a lie, but not the real thing. WB lot, Burbank.

They deliver the Cheese, as in damn-dopey-and-we-know-it. Then there's "cake" as in "let them eat, we can provide it" and "Factory", like "manufactured". Okay, no roller coasters, but like Disney, but with the happiest food on Earth, in an amusing setting. Enjoy. And they have Cheesecake. They don't have the best, but I know who does. Actually, that's beside the point. You're just pointing out what everyone already knows. Why am I even responding to something as well-duh as this? Guess I still don't have a fallow hipster I'm-too-cool-to-get-it brain. Calling the writer on it. Me, I mock the mockers that don't get it. Put a hashtag on it. #Get
Now time for me to tear apart your "neoliberalsitic capitalism". Max kreiger, do you realize how "intentionally obtuse" you sound in your non-"culinary document"? Newp. Perhaps you were confused by your own kewlness. It's a mystery to my why BoredPanda would post such hipster BS. Perhaps they are Panda-ering. ps And goddammit, you hipster fool, learn how to spell "goddamn", you haughty, ignorant waste of your mother's flesh and time.
