Cheesecake Factory is a pretty popular restaurant... and the selection can be pretty overwhelming, so I thought I'd do a review on this brunch special that I had this weekend... just because. I'm not that into big restaurant chains... but Cheesecake Factory is pretty good, so I thought why not? Plus I'll remember if I liked it or not.
Note: I ordered the Eggs Benedict on the side because I'm not a fan of eggs. I believe if you order it all together they'll put the egg and hollandaise sauce on top of the chicken, I prefer syrup with my waffles anyway so I just asked for syrup and I put that on top of the chicken and waffles. I still wanted to order the egg because I figured it wouldn't cost any less without the egg, so I might as well give the egg a try too.
And honestly... the eggs were okay! I'd still probably prefer it on the side and I don't think the hollandaise sauce really worked with it that way. I could see that being good on toast... but yeah. I really like hard boiled eggs, so this just wasn't my thing really. But it wasn't bad either. I probably liked it more than I'd like scrambled eggs.
Now onto the important part: The Chicken and Waffles. I was hesitant to order this because its just chicken strips with like a regular belgium waffle that you'd get at a diner or something. And even though it was that... it wasn't bad. They have good chicken strips and the waffles were kind of perfect. They were crispy but still fluffy. They tasted a little bit burnt... but it wasn't bad. They were sweet. That might be weird if you prefer a more savory waffle with your chicken and waffles, or if you were going to put the hollandaise sauce on top of the chicken... but they were good. They weren't the best waffles in the entire world... but they were really nice and it tasted good with the syrup... although I wish they brought me a little extra syrup.
It also came with breakfast potatoes... which are always exciting! Any sort of breakfast potato: I'm in for. I love Home fries and I like the regular breakfast potatoes too. These had like a lot of seasoning on them and they tasted really good. They weren't too spicy, but they had a bit of a kick... and they were just really good.
So I ended up eating the whole thing... I didn't finish the Egg and I didn't have much for dinner, but overall it was pretty good. I would recommend it, I'd probably order it again and maybe just ask for a bit more syrup. They did give just the right amount... but I like a lot of syrup.
They also served it with ketchup if you wanted to dip your chicken or potatoes, or even your egg in there I suppose. But... yeah! It was better than I was expecting, it was a lot of food for a decent price and it filled me up for the day. So its good if you're on vacation or something and you're doing a lot that day and you don't have a lot of time for a big lunch or dinner or anything... I know Cheesecake Factories are in touristy places... so maybe that would be good.
