With more than 250 items on a 21-page menu, it seems every possible combination has already been accomplished at The Cheesecake Factory. But that's where you are wrong, my friends, because we've found the ultimate ways to upgrade your orders and slash your bill at your favorite dessert spot.
1. Order drinks between 4 - 6 p.m.
The Cheesecake Factory offers a happy hour that includes reduced prices on boozy drinks (like $3 draft beers!) and small plates.
2. Make sandwiches from brown bread
That magical loaf your server hands you as a pre-appetizer is delish with butter, but it makes for even more amazing club sandwiches. Try this upgrade and you'll never go back to plain ol' bread again.
3. Always get extra sauce
The kitchen at every location whips up about 100 different sauces every day. Savor their hard work and request for extra tamarind-cashew dipping sauce, or whichever is your favorite.
4. Don't waste any time
Instead of waiting for your server to come back with the bill and your credit card, you can use the brand's check-paying app called CakePay. You can even split the bill and tip your server on it, too.
5. Cut out extra calories
Some dishes at CF can outweigh an entire day's worth of calories. So instead of ordering the namesake dessert, you can actually opt for a bowl of strawberries instead. It comes with whipped cream on the side and will only cost you 250 calories (versus 1,570 in the red velvet cheesecake).
6. Score extra soup
Apparently if you get your hot bowl to go, it will be larger than the dine-in portion.

7. Skip the line
You can order the full menu at the bar, so don't wait for a table. Just sit at the bar with your besties instead so you can spend more time stuffing your face and less time waiting around with one of those buzzers.
Or just get it to go and eat from the comfort of your couch.
