The food was good but the cheesecakes definitely live upto it’s reputation. Massive portions though so watch how much you order
I was impressed and surprised by how much I enjoyed my meal here! I was expecting the bland, flavourless Westie food that I'm used to in New Zealand, but the Brick Chicken blew me away. Seasoned perfectly (see: heavily; unlikely restaurants back home), and service with a smile. The sweet potato fries were amazing as well, just so crispy and satisfying. Definitely worth the 2 hour wait, and very fair prices at that.
Brick Chicken: 9/10
Sweet Potato Fries: 9/10
This is a busy one !! We put our names down at the front desk and were given a beeper and advised the wait time would be around 20 mins. This was spot on. Once we were seated our waiter came over and introduced himself. When we told him we are from Australia, he was so excited, it turns out he lived around 20 mins from us when he was visiting / working in Aus many years ago.
The food was great, the food service a little slower than normal but given how busy they were it was to be expected. I had plenty of bread and lemonade refills.

Came in here for breakfast the first day I was in Hawaii and was a bit mad about how long h=we had to wait. At first I was very unimpressed as we waited around 15 minutes to be seated even though the place was very big and quite empty making the queue very long for no reason. We got very frustrated that another group were let in before us because they'd only been waiting for about 5 minutes unlike us that waited for 15. When we got seated we were placed outside but still in the shade so that it wouldn't feel that hot and off putting. THe waiter we got for our table was so nice and kind and was very enthusiastic and seemed like she actually enjoyed her job. The wait was a bit tiring and long, but after we got our meals we were filled up very quickly. The portion size was very big aand you can probably split in between 2 people. The ambience is very different from where i've been before and was quite crowded due to the many tables all over the place. The food tasted great but wasn't anything to " woahhhh " reaction type of food. After having our meal we never got around to even trying some of thier famous cheesecakes though as the main meal was fulling enough already. Keen to come back and try their cheesecake next time I come back to Hawaii :) .
Food 10/10
Ambience 6/10

This is my all time favourite restaurant to go to in Waikiki!
Food never disappoint and the portion size is massive! We normally order one main, one appetizer salad and a cheesecake for dessert to share between two people.
The best cheesecake in my opinion is their oreo cheesecake.
The only issue with this restaurant is that it's often really loud so it will be hard to talk to your friends at the table.
We all know Cheesecake Factory is popular for their cheesecakes but does their savoury mains up to speed with what they are popular for? We will find out as we dined in at their Honolulu branch when we had our holiday there several months ago. Cheesecake Factory in Honolulu like in most popular cities in the United States always have long queues, were not used to this kind of situation because in New Zealand life is quite laid back and relaxed, we barely queue for food and menu is not complicated, in other words its stress free. It was a total opposite in Honolulu but once in a while it’s acceptable and since we were in a holiday why not try to queue and let’s see whether it’s all worth it.
The food was nice but didn’t have many gluten free and dairy free options to choose from despite the huge menu! The waitress was very friendly and helpful though and it’s a great location!
Good basic food. Unbelievable cheesecakes. The place is the most popular place in Hawaii due to the huge variety of cheesecakes it’s like no where else for this. Food I would rate though as good but basic pub/ bar food.
Turned up at 5pm with a short 5 minute wait. Lots of GF choices on the menu. Soft drink refills available. Fast service and friendly staff. Highly recommend.
I remember going to the Cheesecake Factory on our last trip to America. The burgers here are amazing. Staff are very friendly and great service.
One of the most popular restaurants in Waikiki, you will often see a line to get in.
The dining room is large and extends all the way inside. While the dining room is nice and is at a good temperature with the AC running, it can be quite loud with music playing and the noise coming from all the other people in the restaurant.
The servers are friendly and efficient.
The menu has many options and you may find it difficult to decide on an option. I did find the food to be just average, nothing special but not bad either.
The portion sizes are proper American sizes so be sure to come with an appetite. Unfortunately we were completely stuffed so we couldn't fit in any cheesecake, but I have heard that their cheesecake is highly rated.
Overall a good experience for some sit down food in Waikiki. Worth visiting at least once.

Nice interiors, friendly staff. Great food. Just be careful, the portion is very big! Also, don’t forget to leave some stomach space for their famous cheesecake.
Eating here can be challenging due to how busy it becomes. The line usually goes out door, so be prepared to wait. There is no option for advanced bookings, only walk in is available. We were lucky to get a table so quickly during peak time as it was only 3 of us. The service is great here and staff are very attentive. The food is well portioned and tastes great, so make sure you’re ready to eat.
The food is superb. And the portion in Huge. Ordered a Loco moco. One of the best I had. They used Angus beef and the brown sauce taste just nice. And there's 2 eggs given
Our first time in Cheesecake Factory in a Hawai.
Busy all the time and for good reasons, service and good are great.
We went for dinner Saturday around 5:30 pm. We weee able to get a table outside in about 20 minutes.
Nice ambience and our waiter Imua offered great service. Very pleasant and quick with everything.
The restaurant offers inside and outside sitting. To be outside with Hawaii weather is a nice experience.
The bread was delicious and warm. We went for the vegetarian salad and ribeye. Both dishes were delicious 😋
The veggies were great and the meat was very tender and juicy.
The staff was very nice.
Nice experience all the way!!!
Was able to grab a table pretty quickly, server was great and very kind/helpful. So many food choices but good variety and there are Hawaiian options so it's not all American only food. Good lava flow, though I couldn't taste any alcohol. Enjoyed it and the service, Portions are huge though if you aren't used to American portion sizes. Pretzel bite appetizer was very good. 🥨
Staff was very helpful in suggesting the best time to avoid the remarkable dinner line-ups.
Calimari was excellent: tender, flavourful...
Dark bread served to all was exceptional...
Chicken Bellagio was outstanding.
For a walk-in service restaurant, all facets were top-notch tonight, and the very long line-up at 7:15 pm was a testament to the reputation of this site.
And the Cheesecake? Delish.
Michael S not only has the best hair in the restaurant, he also has the best service. The food is always ridiculously good and the service made it that much better. We were sat within 5 minutes of our reservation.
When we went about 5pm, it was great. I don't suggest you line up after 7pm or try to order after 9 when you get a seat. I did end up with my 5th choice and it was dry. But 100% recommended the cheesecake. We tried 4 and they were great.
Had the macaroni and cheese burger, and a veggie burger. Both were very delicious with lots of flavor.
Very expensive for a regular chain restaurant, but this is Waikiki, so….
The waitress was super nice and awesome.
