Cheesecake Factory

Venue/Restaurant: Cheesecake Factory
Website: www.thecheesecakefactory.com
Location: Valley Fair Mall, San Jose, California
Our Menu Choices:
1x Smokehouse B.B.Q Burger, reg fries
1x Mushroom Burger, sweet potato fries


This is a pretty big burger... you will struggle to get your mouth round it! It needs a good squish to make it a good size for getting in your mouth!! 
The BBQ sauce for this burger came on the side and even after putting the majority of the sauce on the burger I couldn't really taste it! Once again, American bacon (personally I do not think that it is anywhere near as good as English bacon, sorry!), cheese, lettuce and onion rings. The onion rings are more like onion strings, lots of really nice thin bits of onion in a light coating, delicious! The burger patty was small (by American standards!) but thick so the burger had this 'tower' look to it. Fries are nothing to write home about, normal medium cut, skin on.
I have had a double version of this burger once before at Cheesecake Factory, and thankfully remembered to just have a single one this time! The big one was a bit over the top and way too difficult to eat (in terms of size of burger vs size of my mouth more than anything!). Below is a photo of the double one...

The Mrs had a Mushroom Burger (no photo unfortunately as we hadn't thought about doing this blog at the time of eating here!) and wasn't overly impressed with it. There was plenty of flavour, but that came mainly from the herbs that the mushrooms had been seasoned in. The burger patty was slightly on the dry side, but the cheese and mushrooms gave it a bit of moisture! As usual, she opted for the sweet potato fries and has said that they are the best ones she has had on our trip.
