As someone who has very limited choices at most restaurants, the Gluten Free menu at the Cheesecake is fantastic!!
I have three dishes that I cycle through, but if you are saving room for dessert then the lettuce wraps are an amazing choice! I admittedly hate fussing with the lettuce itself, but the filling makes a tasty meal.
And the gluten free (and sugar free!!) cheesecake is heavenly.
So wonderful. The best steak in town and wonderful wine ans ambiance. Oue favorite place to dine.
They have a great servers who know the menu inside out, good at giving recommendations, and always checks in to see how the meal is and to fill your drink. The meal are not too much or too small. Just the right portion and your stomach will have space for desert, which is to die for. The cheesecake are rich, tasty, and not too sweet. It taste homemade and quality tested. Food also arrives in... more
We came in to have a special meal for our 17th Anniversary and my Birthday. We were promptly seated. The waitress brought our menu`s and took our drink order. Even with a shift change, both our waitress and waiter never missed a beat. Our appetizers came out fresh and hot. Delicious as we cleaned both plates between the three of... more
After hearing that the Cheesecake Cafe changed hands we decided to give it a try again. First all, the restaurant was packed. We got there early which worked out great. The steak was delicious, as was the Jambalaya. I thought the cheese cake was a bit pricey until it arrived. More than enough to share. The servers were attentive even... more
I'm from Quebec so whenever I see "Montreal smoked meat" on a menu, I'm skeptical. I ordered a Reuban sandwich expecting the usual knockoff. I must say I was pleasantly surprised. The meat was juicy and tender, the sauce zingy and the bread toasted to perfection. They are a bit pricey but I would definitely easy her again!
This cafe was recommended to us by a staff member from a near by hotel where we stayed for one night. We were given free appetizer coupons. They did not have the free item but substituted unpleasant warm "chips" and very soggy, tasteless deep-fried mushrooms. My husband ordered beef dip which wasn't too bad but the salmon which appeared on... more
A Cheesecake Café has certain expectations attached to it. The obvious one is that the cheesecake should be good, and it was when we ate there recently. Unfortunately, that's about the best thing I can say about it. Based on visits to the same restaurant in other cities (Calgary in particular), good service and food that is better than most... more
Very nice atmosphere. Lunch was very good. Restaurant was quite busy but staff were very friendly and prompt.
During a shopping trip to the Hat we decided to stop at the Cheesecake. I am from Lethbridge and ours recently burn down, so I was quite excited to attend the Cheesecake yet again! We had to wait 25min but it went quickly. We had a baby and were seated at a very awkward table which didn't really accommodate a... more
We were seated quickly and our order taken promptly. But we had to wait over 25 minutes for our food. And we were not the only ones. My beef dip was okay but could do without the horseradish mayo. My son's steak sandwich was not even hot and the gravy for his fries was salty. Compared with similar chains the... more
We wanted to meet up with friends and could have picked somewhere closer but we remembered how good the white chocolate raspberry cheesecake was so thought we would try it again. And again it was fantastic. And discovered a new keeper too, the banana split cheesecake was yummy too. Our appies of stuffed mushrooms and deepfried pickles were excellent as... more
Our family eats here quite frequently. The meat is tasty and done
just right, garnish is very good. I love the broccoli and cheese soup
and they know how to make ceasar salad. Service has always been
friendly. When it comes to their cheesecake........ mmmmmmmm is all
one can say.
I have been here several times and you can always count on a good meal. They have half price appys from 3-6 and for 2.50 you get some excellent value. The mushrooms are wonderful, the roasted garlic and brie are very very good. I tried the battered beans, good but a little bland. The thai chicken dumplings have a great... more
Had the asian bowl which was very tasty and took a piece of cheesecake to the room mmmmmm!!!!!! Server was very helpful
My wife and I tried this restaurant after hearing good things from some friends. We both liked our meals. Desert is a must if you still have room. The service was good, in a very busy restaurant. We had a short wait at the door while a table opened up but not to long. We will be back again !
The cheese cake is a nice restaurant with a dessert section that is worth getting some to take home.
I had the grilled peppercorn steak with a baked potato. The steak was a little more then medium, but overall good tasting.
The truffle cheese cake is amazing, as is the cookie dough cheese cake.
My husband and i went for a later night date on a night that was not very busy. We stood at the door waiting for about 10 minutes before the bartender came over and sat us as he could see us just standing there... restaurant basics... a hostess? So we sit down and he goes back to the bar. We... more
Have not eaten in this chain for a long time, last time was years ago in Victoria. Now we know why! Food tasted like it came from freezer to microwave to table. Wish them well but will not spend time or money here again.
We visited the Cheesecake Cafe with out 2 children for dinner and was happy with both the food and service. I would definitely go back and would recommend to others.
Went for supper Friday night. Although seated quickly, it was at least 10 min before we got menus and drink order. I ordered well done steak. Food took a long time. When it finally came my steak came without a steak knife! Had to ask three times and finally got one from lady bussing tables. By this time food getting... more
We came at around 2pm for late lunch so place wasn't that crowded. I love the ambience of this restaurant. Reasonable menu prices and generous portions. Had the asian bowl and double cheese chocolate for desert. Bought takeout cheesecakes for friends too. Now I know we're to dine whenever I'm visiting Medicine Hat.
Great food and service! I have ate here several times, ordered something different each time. I recommend eating here!
My husband and I chose this restaurant for a rare date night. Service was extremely slow, then the food took forever to arrive and when it did, it was badly burned. The waitress said she should take it back and then kind of waited for our response as if she wanted us to say it was no problem. The food... more
We have visited this restaurant on several occasions. This was not the best visit. Service was very good waitress was polite and efficient. Food was average we chose a selection of tapas to start which was very tasty this was followed by the maple salmon. The maple salmon was very average the fish was dry and tough I am assuming... more
My wife and I arrived at the restaurant around 8:45 pm looking for a bite to eat. We decided on the Chefs Salad. Our waitress suggested that because of the size of the salad we should have the lunchtime portion. The Chefs salad was very good, but, when we received the bill I noticed that we were charged $14.30 each.... more
We arrived before six, appies are 1/2 price, so deep fried pickles x2 for the table. Kids were pretty happy.
Meals were pleasant.
Cheesecake is dear, at around $8 a slice it adds up quick, the pieces are huge, and everyone wants a different flavour, would be nice if they offered smaller pieces.
Eldest daughter wanted a particular flavour and...

Kenzie was our server tonight. I had Steak Boursin and my partner had Mushroom Chicken Mushroom. Desert was tiramisu cheesecake. With a glass of wine each the total bill amounted to $72. Our server was knowledgeable, pleasant and timed the meal well. The orders were correct and prepared properly. My steak was cooked as requested. I think the portion sizes were adequate to generous and I... more
Have eaten here four times since it opened. Three times under the old owners and once under the new owners. The server we had (sorry forgot her name) has been with the store since it opened. Service was very good; service time was REALLY fast even at a moderately busy time. We didn't have cheese cake just dinner; my wife's... more
went here and the restaurant was completely empty except for 2 people eating..... i waited at the front of the store (loudly) for 15 minutes to be seated.... waitstaff walked by me 3 times and i never got seated. I left and went across the street to Tony Roma's and had an awesome meal there.
WILL NEVER GO BACK AND...

...not a shining star but everyone went home happy. The cheesecake is great , and plenty ample enough to share and then some. They were super accommodating in finding out what might or might not have nut allergens.
Our supper entrees were satisfying, just not wow. Likely this is the chain and not the individual restaurant.
We will certainly return...

Great food and friendly staff. I was disappointed in how slow the waitress was though, I waited almost 10 minutes for her to find a free debit machine so I could pay. This is my third visit to this location and the slow service holds it back from being a 5 star rating. A little on the pricey side but... more
Had a great time and the food was GREAT Went there with a group of 20 .The service was fast and the food was GREAT .The most important thing is that all the food came out HOT Will go back and eat there anytime PS the seafood linguini was to die for
We stopped in on our way to calgary a few weeks ago because we were told it was a great new restaurant in town. Service was prompt for the size of the establishment but the food quality was not good. I had the sweet chilli chicken, basically battered chicken in costco sweet thai sauce.
My friend had the fish and...

A cheerful and bubbly waitress took my order for fish and chips. When the order arrived the chips were hot and crisp - perfect! The two little fish, however, were a bit limp and just warm enough. I enjoyed the meal nonetheless. Along comes the waitress and asks me about dessert, and I told her I would like the item... more
I believe the kitchen staff need some additional trianing. We have ate there a few times now, and each time we were dissappointed with overcooked entree's. I gave them an average vote because the food was not horrible. WE have visited all of the Calgary locations and the one in Lethbridge and would not hesitate to go back, but the... more
To be fair our family of four has had a meal here once only. Our second visit was to get a slice of cheesecake to go as it's fantastic. Back to the first visit. The four of us including two teens with big appetities, ordered several appetizers, entrees and a dessert. The deep fried pickles were tasty but the portions... more
Very diverse menu. Something for everyone. Love the unique menu items and the presentation and friending staff are wonderful. If you don't have room, take a cheesecake home. This is the very best new restaurant in Medicine Hat. Glad that Simon brought it to town.
First impressions count, before we even got into the restaurant we were turned off by the bountiful weeds growing around the building. Once in the restaurant, we found the cheesecake display case haphazardly thrown together which didnt make sense when the main selling feature of the place is dessert. The menu is an overwhelming mess with over half of it... more
We ate at the Cheesecak Saturday May 13, 2012. I heard you could phone ahead and put your name on the waiting list. I phoned and put my name on and asked them how long before I would be seated. They told me 10 minutes so we went right over. When we got there and talked to the hostess, she... more
My brother and I went in to the Cheesecake factory and stood in the entrance for several minutes before someone approached us. Once we were approached, we were told that they would return in a few minutes, eventually she did and she sat us with menus. We looked through and made our decisions in about three minutes, so we set... more
Well I haven't eaten at all of the cheesecake cafe's, but I haven't had a bad anything at the ones I have eaten at. Good food, good service, and Great cheesecake
I happened to show up during this restaurant's soft opening, and was blown away. The seafood risotto balls have fabulous, well balanced flavour, and the steak was one of the best prepared and flavoured pieces of meat I had all month. They had troubles that night but the service staff over came with glory. However, my second visit just recently... more
Food was very good, service very good, parking sucks... more
This is our second trip to Cheesecake Cafe in as many weeks. For our first visit, I had to go to the front and ask if our section had a server. When the server arrived, she complained about how busy she was. It took awhile to just get drinks and forget about refills of water and coffee. After more than... more
food was good and different and have been two times in the past week....both times meal was too slow to be served maybe because its new...service itself ws good enough but first time estimated meal was about 50 minutes after we sat til it came to table then we thought we would try cheesecake but took over ten minutes after... more
