Cheesecake Factory prices vary by location, but you can expect typical sit- down-chain pricing with mains generally in the mid-$15 to mid-$20 range and appetizers in the $9–$15 range. Here’s a practical snapshot to gauge “how expensive” it is: What you’ll typically pay
- Main courses: roughly $15–$25, depending on protein and specialty dishes. Popular pastas, chicken, and steak dishes often land in the mid-teens to low twenties.
- Appetizers: commonly around $9–$15.
- Salads and lighter plates: usually $9–$16.
- Desserts: most cheesecakes or specialty desserts fall in the $7–$9 range.
- Beverages: soft drinks around $3–$4, specialty coffees in the $4–$6 range.
Value considerations
- You often get generous portion sizes, which can make the per-person effective cost moderate if you share dishes or take leftovers home.
- The menu includes “SkinnyLicious” options at lower calorie counts, typically priced similarly to regular entrees or slightly less.
- Prices can be noticeably higher in prime locations (e.g., downtown or airport-adjacent venues) and in certain regions or countries outside the United States.
How to estimate for a visit
- For one person: entrees around $15–$25, plus a beverage and/or dessert, expect roughly $20–$40 before tip.
- For a family or two adults with a meal and desserts: typically $40–$70 before tip, depending on selections and sharing.
- For a splurge or special occasion: some larger plates or steaks can push a single entrée toward the upper $20s to low $30s, with beverages and dessert pushing totals higher.
Tips to save
- Look for “Lunch” specials or lighter portions that may be priced lower than dinner portions.
- Share entrees or opt for lighter sides; consider rotating specials that sometimes offer better value.
- Check if your local Cheesecake Factory has any online menus or digital coupons, which can vary by location.
If you’d like, share your city or the exact location, and the latest local menu prices can be estimated more precisely based on that venue.
