The Cheesecake Factory Menu & Prices – 2026
The Cheesecake Factory’s menu is legendary for its vast selection, featuring over 250 items made from scratch. A single slice of Original Cheesecake contains about 830 calories, while more indulgent options like the Oreo® Dream Extreme can reach a significant 1,560 kcal. The price reflects its “upscale casual” status, with most entrees ranging from $18.95 to $29.95 and cheesecakes priced around $11.50 to $13.50 per slice.
The nutritional value of their standard portions is famously high, often exceeding daily recommended limits for sodium and saturated fat. However, the SkinnyLicious® menu offers a major alternative with over 50 dishes—such as the Lemon-Garlic Shrimp or SkinnyLicious® Hamburger—all containing 590 calories or less. Guests can balance their experience by sharing large portions or opting for a “Low-Licious” Cheesecake (approx. 570 kcal), which is low-carb and has no added sugar.
