The Cheesecake Factory gives you more than just cheesecake!
When you step in through the front doors of Cheesecake Factory, you’ll know you’re in for something more than the usual fare. The interior welcomes you with french limestone floors, stylish columns, fabrics that are hand-painted, relaxing lighting and a rich designs made of cherry wood. The contemporary decor is just the beginning.
Offering a touch of class and unique atmosphere, the Cheesecake Factory offers you an upscale casual dining experience. There are over 200 menu selections including Appetizers, Pasta, Pizza, Steaks, Seafood, Salads, Sandwiches, and much more. Their menu features specialty dishes like Miso Salmon, Chicken Madeira, Cajun Jambalaya Pasta, and The Factory Burger.
Your experience won’t be complete if you forget to save room for dessert! The must try’s are White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle® Cheesecake or the new and my personal favorite, the Godiva Chocolate Cheesecake with a mix of espresso or cappuccino. These are just one of the 50 cheesecakes and desserts.
You can enjoy Cheesecake Factory’s lively atmosphere everyday, serving from Appetizers,  Lunch and Dinner. They also have late dining for busy folks, a full bar, and of course Sunday Brunch. Best of all, they offer the entire menu for take out!
The Cheesecake Factory is for everybody. If you want to do something special for your loved ones, you can order their most popular Cheesecakes and have them shipped almost anywhere in the U.S. via Federal Express!
Local Comments:
1. The serving of their meals are huge, and very good. It usually takes a little while to get seated but the service is outstanding. The best cheesecake so far.
2. One of my favorite restaurants of all time. Im  in love with this place. I like the chicken madeira the best, and order that – although they also make a tasty Vietnamese spring roll too. I’m also a fan of their chocolate martini.

Five Guys Burgers and Fries – Restaurant at Polaris Mall

Five Guys Restaurant at Polaris Mall

http://www.fiveguys.com/home.aspx

Well let me start by saying I’m old enough to remember when burgers were really good, remember “hot and juicy”? Five Guys delivers. Located on Polaris Drive, they deliver burgers from the grill. As soon as I walked to the counter, there was a large box of roasted peanuts, self serve and free, to hold you over while your order is prepared. Your choice is a burger or a hot dog. I got a regular burger she got a “little” burger. “Little” is one patty, regular is two. The fresh ground beef cooked in peanut oil on a grill delivers the taste. Tons of add ons, various cheeses, bacon, grilled onion, mushrooms, pickles, lettuce etc. Five Guys fries are the best, period. Cut long with the skin, they come in a cup but the paper bag used for each individual order holds not only the full french fry cup but enough spilled over in the bag for a second order. Only thing better than the fries are the cajun fries. The regular order is way to many for the waste line. The large order will fill two.

Five Guys places each individual order in a paper bag. Three in the group, three bags. I always hate it when someone has to open the bag, open the wrapper and smell or open the sandwich to see “who had the onion and mustard”. Not here. Each person has a numbered bag; one, two, three or however many on the order. Four kids and two adults, six bags. As soon as you pick up your bag(s), you’ll see little oil stains saying “hit and fresh fries inside”. And each bag has oil stains from the fries, hot and tasty. Great variety of drinks you dispense, including ice tea and my fav, lemonade.

It was busy at 2PM, but no waiting. Just give your order at the counter, get your number and drink cup, and find a seat. They call your number when ready. Don’t groan when you walk in and it looks busy, the counter mover fast and there is very little wait. We observed three employees in the customer area, all cleaning tables as soon as customers left and keeping the place very clean.

Next visit to Five Guys I thought I might want to try a hot dog, maybe a kosher dog. But once inside I know I’ll cave to the aroma of grilled burgers.

Out of a top score of five burgers, Five Guys gets five burgers.
