“There’s a 24 Hour Wait for a Table for Four”

By: Mr. Wilson on February 18, 2009
That's what you'll be hearing a lot of around Lincoln if the rumors are true that Cheesecake Factory is finally making its way to Lincoln. Lincolnites have been buzzing about CF for years so the grain of salt that accompanies the latest round of rumors is pretty hefty. No doubt Cheesecake Factory will eventually make its way to Lincoln. Will it be soon?

Over…Rated…

I’d rather a PF Chang’s anytime over CF.

I don’t know if its over rated but I agree that PF’s is better than Cheesecake Factory.

What makes these rumors any different than in past years?

And you’re right Mr. Wilson, the wait for a table would be astronomical for any night for a good 3 months.  And then it would probably take another 6 months for the weekend crowd to thin down.  Can you imagine if they put that thing in downtown somewhere for football traffic?

It might not be feesable but what about that old restaurant location on Sun Valley?  Or even the old Big Johns Billiards?  That would give that corridor instant credibility to a location that could really succeed with the right business.

I’ve eaten at PF Chang’s a dozen or more times over the past 10 years. I’m no cheapskate, but as far as I’m concerned, it is “good” food at “a-frickin-mazing food” prices.

My opinion of Cheesecake Factory is much lower ever since they removed their sushi-grade tuna sandwich from the menu. It was seared on the outside and still raw in the middle, with stringed sweet potatoes and wasabi aoli on a fresh garlic roll. A little bit of heaven for $18. They pulled it from the menu 7-8 years ago and I’ve been disappointed with every visit since.

Mmmmm, chain restaurant food.
