The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alumna recently told Page Six that she and her husband "go there once a week."
As far as a favorite meal, Kathy said she prefers the meatloaf while Rick “really likes the chicken [alfredo]. And then also the one that you dip with the sauce.”
“All their food is good," she added, while admitting she hadn't recently ordered the cheesecake itself. “Actually, you walk in there, and there are people. We love that! We don’t want to sit in a restaurant with nobody in the room."

"It’s owned by Cheesecake Factory," she told the interviewer when asked about the lesser-known brand. "It’s not fancy in price or menu. There’s just a lot more gold leafing. Cheesecake Factory is great. It should have Michelin stars."

"Cheesecake Factory …let’s do a whipshots collab …..I already like y’all cocktails let’s do like a Irish cream drink with whipshots," Cardi B responded to a tweet from from the restaurant. No word on whether or not it will someday make the menu.
Sunny Hostin
After a video went viral slamming the restaurant as a first date location, Sunny Hostin stepped in to share her love for the brand.
"I want to stand up for the Cheesecake Factory ‘cause I go there every week," The View host said, explaining that her daughter Paloma has "ACT Prep and there’s a Cheesecake Factory five minutes away."
Hostin added that her fellow co-host Sara Haines also enjoys a trip to the restaurant now and again, saying, "Sara and I agree that they make the best dirty martini."

According to Ireland Baldwin, the complimentary bread at the Cheesecake Factory is more than just delicious. Back in 2019, the model shared a selfie on Instagram sporting a mesh-detailed bra along with the message, “Been eating a lot of brown bread at cheesecake factory and it’s going to my boobs,” adding in the caption, “#lifehack.”

Travis KelceIn January, people were quick to spot a striking resemblance between Travis Kelce's pregame look and the chain's takeaway bag.
On an episode of the New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce podcast, which the Kansas City Chiefs star hosts with his brother Jason, he shared that the shirt was just "laying around" when he decided to pair it with a custom suit by Teddy von Ranson.
Jason chimed in to say that while he saw the resemblance to the Cheesecake Factory bag, he felt like the outfit was reminiscent of something out of Wes Anderson's comedy movie The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.
"That’s what I’m saying. If I was in a Wes Anderson film … I’m just going to go ahead and say it, this is my pitch to get in a Wes Anderson film," Travis added.
