Ok, I learned that CF doesn't serve Dr. Pepper. Well, they don't serve
fettuccine alfredo on the side either! At least the waitress was nice
when she said, "We don't serve it like that." I thought it was a bit
unusual but not enough to spoil the meal. I'll just have to get it at
another restaurant that does serve it on the side. I can hardly wait
to see what I can't order the next time!



Although it's unlikely, maybe they actually make fettucine alfredo the
CORRECT way, which means "from scratch", not using sauce from a jar.
While this is not a terribly involved process, it's certainly not worth
their time to make a small amount as a side dish.


Maybe the troll can get it all out at once and list every item
Cheesecake Factory doesn't have on their menu and be done
with it. Or, maybe it can just go to a restaurant that features what
it's looking for instead of Cheesecake Factory.

What "it's" looking for? I love that word choice, but I always get yelled
at when I use it. :-)

Why do you continue to go there?


Disgruntled and in denial?

plenty of time to think up stupid shit like this.

Because the food that they do have, is good. This time, I wasn't
ordering anything that wasn't on the menu.

How about you try ordering what's on the menu, and see if that makes a
difference?

Miche


I did! It was on the menu! Just not served as a side dish.

Why on earth do you continue to return to that place? Do you enjoy
posting your gripes on usenet *that* much? Get a grip, get a life and
move on to another chain restaurant. Unlike most rodents, you don't
seem to learn from your mistakes.

Certainly the easiest way to go with the boring chain places where
customer service is often marginal. At higher end restaurants they make
a lot more effort to accommodate special requests.


It's *NOT* a high end restaurant. That poster would be a lot happier
if he ate at home.

What a bunch of assholes. I bet they don't have liver and onions or blood
sausage either. Tell them you want a side of head cheese. Order borscht
for your soup and walk out if they don't have it. Show them how bad they
really are.

As for the Dr. Pepper. tell them it is OK to substitute Mr. Pibb or
Cheerwine. Better yet, demand Lime Ricky. Any decent restaurant should
have it.

Show'em who's boss. Keep going there until they meet your demands and have
everything you want on the menu.


This time, I ordered something that was on the menu! They just don't
serve it on the side like other restaurants. BTW, I don't like Mr.
Pibb - it tastes like medicine.

I orered something that was "on the menu". They just don't serve it on

an attitude like the other visit. How am I suppose to know unless I
ask?

I like Cheesecake Factory. They have a varied menu, the service is
good, and the prices are reasonable. I dislike Dr Pepper.

Rosie


I like CF, too. But you don't know how they serve their food unless
you ask, right? When you go to a restaurant, you eventually find out
their rules for serving food and drinks. I disklike Mr. Pibb.

I just went to my first Cheesecake factory lunch a couple of weeks ago
and we enjoyed it enough to return the next day. The service was very,
very good even considering that the place was packed. The dessert we had
and I crave again even now was the limoncello torte. Not overly sweet
and reminded me very much of the bakery treats we used to get in Europe.
Sure it is a chain....but one I'll be going back to when I can. They're
doing so many things right there.

I went back, too. I had the crispy spicy beef (?) ... I really enjoyed
that. No complaints about the service, either, and I also like the
iced green tea. I think it's odd that they don't have regular iced tea,
but life goes on.

It's a chain, and it's possible that the sauce comes out of a plastic bag
which they microwave, or drop into boiling water. To make a side dish,
they'd have to waste a half serving just for you, if it's not that popular a
dish.

Stop your incessant whining.
