15. Fettuccine Alfredo
The Cheesecake Factory's Fettuccine Alfredo comes with fettuccine noodles in a Parmesan cream sauce. You can get it plain or topped with chicken or shrimp.
Many customers have called the dish out for being bland and watery. A chain employee told Mashed that the dish gets sent back so often that they are advised not to recommend it.
14. Spaghetti & Meatballs
Some say that Cheesecake Factory's spaghetti and meatballs have a sauce that tastes sour and meatballs that are dry or cold in the center.
Restaurants that do a lot of volume, such as Cheesecake Factory, often make the meatballs ahead of time and then reheat them to order. Same goes for the sauce.
13. Bistro Shrimp Pasta
This dish features spaghetti noodles with deep-fried shrimp, mushrooms, tomatoes, arugula, and a basil-garlic-lemon cream sauce, which many find too heavy.
Several diners comment on feeling sick shortly after diving into this full-on dish, which clocks in at 2,170 calories without any other protein add-ons.
12. Evelyn's Favorite Pasta
Consisting of penne pasta, broccoli, zucchini, asparagus, tomatoes, peppers, onions, garlic, herbs, and Parmesan. Many customers call it disappointing.
The recipe used to include Mediterranean-inspired ingredients like eggplant, artichokes, olives, and pine nuts, which many found to taste far better.
11. Tomato Basil Pasta
Featuring penne pasta, tomato sauce with garlic, chicken, mozzarella, and basil, there are no surprises in this dish, which makes it a little ho-hum.
The few people who do comment on the dish have mixed feelings about it. It gets better reviews than some of the chain's other pastas, but only by a small margin.
