The Cheesecake Factory (Hawaii 2016) – Bacon Bacon Cheeseburger

I like The Cheesecake Factory just as much as the next guy but the lineups here is very off-putting. I guess the appeal is partly due to the large number or tourists looking for something familiar. The other reason is probably due to the value you get here. They don’t skimp on portion size and you’re sure to walk (or waddle) away with a full belly.

We’ve been here many times before (here and here) so I’m not going to waste your time telling you how good the dark honey-oat bread is… on with the pictures!

The Tropical Smoothie ($6.95) with mango, passionfruit, pineapple, and coconut is frothy and blended with ice to cool you down from the hot Hawaiian sun. Next to it is the Raspberry Lemonade ($4.95).

The Luau Salad ($15.95) is simply enormous and could easily feed 2 or more people. The salad has grilled chicken breast layered with mixed greens, pineapple, cucumbers, red and yellow peppers, green beans, carrots, onions, macadamia nuts and large crispy wonton wrappers.

For my main, I picked the Bacon-Bacon Cheeseburger ($14.95) charbroiled with both cheddar and American cheese, crispy bacon, and thick-cut roasted, smoked bacon. Because who doesn’t want to have bacon on top of their bacon?

For dessert, the Lemon Meringue Cheesecake is a lemon cream cheesecake topped with layers of lemon mousse and meringue.

If you do decide to visit The Cheesecake Factory in Waikiki, try to avoid their busy times.
