Business review: 2.0 stars
business name: the cheesecake factory. city: madison. categories: restaurants, desserts, american (traditional), american (new), seafood, food, salad:
The granddaddy of big box food. Tasty? yes. Inventive? not really. Oil and butter as substitutes for inventive, creative food? Most likely.

Its hard to argue that you can exit the Cheesecake Factory without a full belly and a satisfying meal. Unfortunately, that comes at the cost of some of the most high calorie entrees imaginable.

The place does a decent job of managing the huge demand put on it by the throngs of mall-goers hungry for some Wisconsin-sized plates. And to be fair, they do have a full "skinnylicious" menu to encourage, or at least offer, more healthy menu options. But at the end of the day, their menu seems to rely a bit to heavily on butter and oil as the primary constituents of flavor.
