        Our Story
        • Oscar and Evelyn Overton always dreamed of owning a successful family business.
          An excellent cook, Evelyn's passion for baking led to the creation of her original cheesecake, a hit with everyone who tried it. By the early 1950's, while raising her two young children, David and Renee, Evelyn converted their basement into a professional bakery and supplied her original cheesecakes to the best local restaurants in her hometown of Detroit.
        • In 1972, once their children were grown, Oscar and Evelyn decided to move their business westward.
          Using the last of their savings, they opened a small bakery in Los Angeles to sell their signature cheesecakes. They called it The Cheesecake Factory®. The original cheesecake inspired their son David to create an original restaurant, unique to this day, and in 1978, he opened The Cheesecake Factory restaurant in Beverly Hills, California. With little knowledge of how to run a restaurant but lots of intuition, David set out to create a dining experience guests wouldn't soon forget – generous portions with hundreds of creative menu selections handmade from scratch with the finest quality ingredients served in a warm and inviting setting.
        • There weren't any shortcuts – just delicious, fresh food.
          The restaurant was an immediate success! Today, The Cheesecake Factory continues to be led and inspired by the Overtons' original spirit of innovation, quality, passion and commitment to excellence. Now more people than ever enjoy The Cheesecake Factory's original food and desserts, around the world.

        Overall

        Today was the last time I will go to the Cheesecake factory for a meal in Sarasota,Fl.All the cooking staff need to be replaced NOW! I have been to the Sarasota Cheesecake factory more times then I can count,eaten several different meals and have been disappointed with all of them but the first one.

        I have taken family and friends on numerous occasions and they have also been disappointed with the food.

        .I have visited several different Cheesecake Factories in different cites and have never been disappionted.I realize the cooks at the Sarasota location does not know how to cook.Get new cooks or be prepared for more bad reviews. I did not want to write a review because I love eating there but the Sarasota location has disappointed me for the last time.
