Take the Kids to The Cheesecake Factory

When only an absurdly large menu and a legendary slice of cheesecake will do, The Cheesecake Factory in Clarendon delivers. Located at 2900 Wilson Blvd in the heart of one of Arlington’s busiest neighborhoods, this outpost of the beloved national chain is perennially popular with families, groups, and anyone who appreciates variety — the menu runs to more than 250 items spanning small plates, salads, pasta, seafood, burgers, and international-inspired dishes. The restaurant is just steps from the Clarendon Metro station (Orange/Silver lines). Of course, the dessert menu is the real headliner, with more than 30 varieties of cheesecake and specialty cakes made fresh daily. Lunch, dinner, and a full bar are available seven days a week. Reservations are accepted online. Visit thecheesecakefactory.com for menus and hours.
