One of my guilty pleasures occasionally is cheesecake. And, many years ago any time we had a kinda special day we wanted to treat ourselves, we headed to The Cheesecake Factory. Well, our favorite restaurant with the huge menu celebrates 45 years. And to honor that, they’re offering customers a sweet Cheesecake Factory anniversary deal.
Here’s the deal. From now until October 27, Cheesecake Factory rewards members can enjoy any slice of cheesecake for just $4.50. And, it’s one slice per member for dine in only. So, make sure you sign up for the rewards program. The deal appears on your account the next day. And, if you aren’t a member yet, you should do it by the 26th in order to get the deal before it’s gone. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the milestone anniversary.
I haven’t visited a Cheesecake Factory in many years. However, I just commented recently that I want to visit again. It’s a totally indulgent treat that derails any diet. But, once in a while it’s good to enjoy one of those kind of meals. And, even though their menu is massive, I always end up ordering the same entree. I adore their Spicy Chicken Chipotle Pasta. Our son used to get their Roadside Sliders. And, we all loved their Tex Mex Eggrolls.
And, when it comes to the pages and pages of cheesecake choices that depends on my taste on any given day. I always loved their Craig’s Crazy Carrot Cake Cheesecake. However, I don’t know if they offer that anymore. But, with all the other options you can’t go wrong with any of them. I mean, it’s cheesecake after all, right?
As far as Cheesecake Factory locations in North Carolina, the South Park Mall spot is convenient. And, the recently opened location in Birkdale Village in Huntersville is another option. Check their social media pages for more on the Cheesecake Factory anniversary deal.
The Best Restaurants In Each City & Town In North Carolina
The best restaurant is a bold claim to make. Obviously, I have not eaten at every restaurant in every North Carolina city and town. So I dug through Yelp reviews to help me out. Because you deserve to know what the best is, whether it’s your city, a nearby place, or somewhere you’re planning a trip. Many of the restaurants included on this list are hidden gems you may not have even heard of. Others are staples that everyone knows! There are 50 cities and towns included on this list and these are the 50 cities and towns in the state according to Wikipedia. You’ll find them listed from smallest to largest along with the best restaurants in that North Carolina city or town.
As for the restaurants, I consulted Yelp for each city and town included on this list. Reviews were sorted by the highest rated and the restaurant had to have an address in that specific city. Food trucks were omitted as well as a few coffee shops that didn’t offer food other than a couple of pastries. Not all the places included have sit-down meals but you can get a full meal at all of them. You’ll find a wide variety of restaurants including bbq, southern homestyle, Italian, and even Portuguese. Hopefully, this inspires you to check out a new place this weekend.
If you think another spot in your town deserves this title, well then you’ll have to give them a good review! Know that Yelp reviews are ever-changing so depending on when you are reading this a new restaurant could have taken the title on the platform. Do you think these are the best restaurants in North Carolina?
