The Cheesecake Factory Calories & Nutrition (140 plates)

At The Cheesecake Factory a dish comes with choices its nutrition guide prints as separate rows, so this page counts each dish with them: of the 140 dishes that fit a 1,500-calorie cap, 104 come with an optional side, 20 come with a choice of accompaniment, 8 come with a choice of accompaniment and an optional bread and 8 come with a choice of salad. Every total and meal here adds those choices at their printed values; the lightest plate is the Farm Fresh Eggs at 305 calories with its lightest choices.

How The Cheesecake Factory meals are counted here

• WHEN A TABLE IS SOLD, first, because two of them are not all day and the app has no field to say it with: the chain's own ordering menu marks its "Lunch Favorites" category "every day from Midnight to 5pm" and its "Saturday & Sunday Brunch" category "weekends from Midnight to 2pm", while every other category — the EGGS & OMELETTES table included — is "always": true. Those rows ship, the way this repo ships P.F. Chang's lunch specials, and the chain's sourceNote says when they are served. A Cheesecake Factory plate is priced AS SERVED, with its sides already inside the number, and the chain says so twice: its ordering menu describes the dish that way ("Grilled Salmon — Served with Mashed Potatoes and Broccoli", 1270 in both documents) and its order flow offers nothing to choose — Grilled Salmon's only option group is the optional "Would you like to modify your Entree?" with "No Broccoli" and "No Mashed Potatoes". An entrée salad is the same: its dressing is already counted, and the only mandatory group is "How would you like your Salad Dressing?", whose two options carry no calories. A Bowl is the same again: the mandatory rice group's three options carry none either. So a side picked here is an EXTRA side ordered beside the plate, never the plate's own — adding one to a dish that already has it would over-count by 450 to 1,060 cal.
• A GLAMBURGER® or a SANDWICHES sandwich is priced ALONE and one accompaniment is mandatory: Old Fashioned Burger (42086828) and The Club (42086872) both carry "Which accompaniment would you like with your Entree?" with mandatory true. The guide anticipates it — the GLAMBURGERS® table opens with French Fries 530, Green Salad 130 and Sweet Potato Fries 510 before its first burger, and the SANDWICHES table does not repeat them. Only two of the order flow's four options can be composed: French Fries and Green Salad, which both documents price identically. Sweet Potato Fries is held (510 against 450) and Caesar Salad 460 has no row in the guide at all, so neither is offered. The lightest honest completion is +130.
• Eggs and omelettes are priced ALONE and TWO groups are mandatory, both read off the chain's own order flow and both priced row for row by the guide's BREAKFAST ACCOMPANIMENTS table: a bread (White Toast 330, Wheat Toast 270, Bagel 360, English Muffin 190, Sourdough Baguette 260, Wheat Baguette 370, or No Bread) and an accompaniment (Breakfast Potatoes 630 or Sliced Tomatoes 25). The bread slot takes no pick because "No Bread" is one of the chain's own options; the accompaniment slot is mandatory and has none. The lightest honest plate is the eggs plus 25.
• A Benedict, the Monte Cristo Sandwich and the Brioche Breakfast Sandwich carry the mandatory accompaniment group and NO bread group — each already arrives on its own muffin, toast or brioche — so exactly one of Breakfast Potatoes 630 or Sliced Tomatoes 25 completes the plate.
• The guide's own heading says it — LUNCH FLATBREAD PIZZA AND SALAD — and the chain's order flow makes it mandatory: Lunch Margherita Flatbread Pizza (42087192) carries "Would you like our House salad or our Caesar Salad?" with Green Salad 260 and Caesar Salad 440, which are this guide's own Small Green Salad and Small Caesar Salad rows, printed at the end of that same table. The DINNER flatbread carries no option group at all and is priced complete, which is why the two are named apart.

A meal is one plate (the dish and a valid pick for each of its choices, never the same row twice) and at most one drink, and its totals are the printed rows added together. 68 dishes are listed but never put in a meal: the chain sells this as "Factory Create an Omelette" and its own copy says "Select Any Four of the Following", so the guide's 630 is the omelette before the ingredients that define it; the fifteen ingredients are published as ingredients, and a four-ingredient pick is not a shape this app composes (1), one half of Renée's Special, which The Cheesecake Factory sells only as "One-Half of a Fresh Turkey Sandwich, a Cup of Our Soup and a Small Green Salad" — and the combo cannot be totalled either, because the guide prices its soup part only as the range "Cup of Soup 310-390" with no macros. It is listed, and never composed as a meal on its own (2), the chain's own ordering menu, read the same day as the guide, prints this dish at a different calorie figure — by more than 50 cal or 10% — and nothing written settles which is right, so the dish is listed and never composed (R1) (6), the guide prints this burger under its bar's HAPPY HOUR MENU and the chain's own ordering menu sells no product of that name in any of its 36 categories, so no document says whether its 1,140 cal already carries the side every other burger in this guide is priced without (1) and its lightest plate is over 1,500 calories (58). 65 starters are listed on their own and never counted as a meal.

• Sides (36): a cup of clam chowder, a cup of cream of chicken soup, a cup of Mexican chicken and vegetable soup, a bowl of clam chowder, a bowl of cream of chicken soup, a bowl of Mexican chicken and vegetable soup, a tossed green salad, a tossed green salad with balsamic vinaigrette, a tossed green salad with blue cheese dressing, a tossed green salad with SK mustard vinaigrette, a tossed green salad with ranch dressing, a tossed green salad with thousand island dressing, a small green salad, a small Caesar salad, french fries, green beans, sweet potato fries, fresh corn, mashed potatoes, sauteed spinach, macaroni and cheese, broccoli, steamed white rice, black beans, plantains, rice and beans, grilled asparagus, breakfast potatoes, sliced tomatoes, white toast, wheat toast, a bagel, an English muffin, a sourdough baguette, a wheat baguette and a tossed green salad with SK sesame soy dressing (at select locations: Steamed White Rice (PR), Black Beans (PR), Plantains (PR) and Rice and Beans (PR)).
• Accompaniments (2): french fries and a green salad.
• Breads (6): white toast, wheat toast, a bagel, an English muffin, a sourdough baguette and a wheat baguette.
• Accompaniments (2): breakfast potatoes and sliced tomatoes.
• Salads (2): a small green salad and a small Caesar salad.
