5 Best Cheesecake Factory Dishes, According to Diners
Opening up the Cheesecake Factory menu is overwhelming, to say the least. The laminated book features page after page of appetizers, entrees, salads, and desserts, with over 250 items to choose from. If you aren’t sure what to order, there are a handful of Cheesecake Factory dishes that keep customers coming back for more, not including the chain’s trademark bread basket or cheesecake slices. Here are the 5 best Cheesecake Factory dishes, according to fans.
Avocado or Tex-Mex Eggrolls
The south-of-the-border-inspired eggrolls are a crunchy, creamy, addictive starter. The Avocado Egg Rolls are a vegetarian app with avocado, sun-dried tomato, red onion, and cilantro fried in a crisp wrapper and served with a tamarind-cashew dipping sauce. My go-to is the Tex-Mex Egg Roll with spicy chicken, corn, black beans, peppers, onions, and melted cheese, served with avocado cream and salsa.
