Cheesecake Factory - Oak Brook, IL Review

Whenever I need to celebrate something..passing my series 6 and 63, or anything I can think of as an excuse for celebrating where do I go? The CCF...that's the hint I give my friends when I want to go. I love this place because it's a fun, upbeat place to eat and hang out with friends. I love the sense of urgency once you're seated that the wait staff displays. Lets's face it, once you've waited 45 minutes for a table, you're starving. They serve huge enough portions where you can eat and have enough left over for lunch the next day. Before you get your food, you're served with bread-but not your typical boring rolls. You get sourdough bread and sweet wheat bread to get you through the 10 minutes or so before your food comes out. The drinks are spectacular..and not just the alcoholic...you've got to try the strawberry lemonade, it's to die for. And just when you've thought it coudln't get any better, the intoxicating bouquet of sweet cheesecake surrounds you and you can't help but to order a slice..whether it's to go or to enjoy at your table. It's a great, casual dining experience.
