Cheesecake Factory Adds More Than 20 Dishes to Its 250-Item Menu — Here’s What’s New!

It’s that time of year again, and the Cheesecake Factory is here to deliver. 

To keep things fresh and inviting for new and veteran guests, the casual dining chain has updated its menu. While some items are disappearing, exciting new food and drink items have been added or upgraded for the season.  

Known for its lengthy menu of 250 delectable items, the restaurant chain has maintained the rotating trend for decades to stay competitive with other casual dining enterprises. In a 2017 interview with Nation’s Restaurant News, founder David Overton said Cheesecake Factory has changed its menu twice a year for 40 years, which "keeps people interested." 

In the latest menu rotation, the chain confirmed to PEOPLE that 13 dishes are leaving the Factory, including Everything Flatbread Pizza, Mushroom Burger, Seared Ahi Tuna Salad, White Chicken Chili, Spicy Cashew Chicken, Bistro Shrimp Pasta, Fried Shrimp Platter, Petite Filet, Factory Combinations, Loaded Mashed Potato Omelette, Taco Dorados and Eggs, SkinnyLicious Lemon Herb Parmesan Chicken, and the SkinnyLicious Spicy Shrimp Pasta. 

And while these are disappearing, the incoming dishes are sure to keep customers coming back. Among the latest additions are a few tell-tale notes that the restaurant has tapped into trends and is keeping up with the competition. For instance, one of the new items is an Asian Cucumber Salad, a subtle nod to the viral TikTok moment that had many people discovering new ways to enjoy the vegetable. 

Another standout dish is the Double Smash Cheeseburger, a potential whistle to one of the chain’s fast-food competitors. The drinks section also received a much-welcomed addition with a mocktail, the Yuzu Crush, a refreshing non-alcoholic drink with the citrus flavors of yuzu and lemon.
