Craving some delicious cheesecake?

While there are no current Cheesecake coupons available, you can still find many ways to save! Whether you’re heading out for a shopping spree at the mall or plan to dine at The Cheesecake Factory restaurant for your next night out, here are 13 clever tips to save you time and money – and no coupons are needed!


1. Order water at Cheesecake Factory instead of a $2.50 soda.

It’s no secret that ordering water is a good tip for saving cash at any restaurant and if your entire family of 5 skips the extra drinks, you can save about $12.50 off your entire bill!


2. Get the complimentary toddler plate.

One thing I loved about dining at The Cheesecake Factory when my kids were little was the complimentary toddler plate! It’s not only free, but it will likely fill them up enough, and then if you don’t mind sharing a few bites of your food, you save on an extra meal.

For our youngest guests (those in a booster or highchair) we offer a complimentary “Baby Plate” with slices of banana and fresh bread to keep them busy and happy.

Hip Tip: Speaking of complimentary, who need expensive appetizers when they offer delicious, warm bread? Make sure to take advantage of the bread and butter whenever you dine in.


3. Drink up during Happy Hour and save on appetizers.

Most Cheesecake Factory locations have a Happy Hour from 4 pm – 6 pm, Mondays through Fridays in the Bar. You can score deals like $3.50 beers or $6.50 handmade cocktails. Plus, you can enjoy their appetizers for $6.50. This may not be your biggest savings, but it’s a great way to save on your favorite drinks and beat the dinner rush.


4. Save on time and do curbside pick-up.

Ordering curbside pickup won’t save you any money, but it sure will save you time! Normally the wait at any Cheesecake Factory during lunch or dinner is pretty extensive, so order online, pick it up, and take it home to enjoy without the wait.

Hip Tip: Do you live close to a Cheesecake Factory? Make sure to check out DoorDash.com so you don’t even have to leave your house or office. Often times, they’ll add free delivery services during specific times and even special discount codes!


5. Order from their skinny menu for $8 meals (no coupon needed!).

Consider ordering off the Small Plates and Snacks or the Skinnylicious menu the next time you head to The Cheesecake Factory. As an example, you can get this delicious chicken lettuce wrap taco meal for just $8.95 whereas a generous bowl of chili on their main menu will run you over $15.

And if you’re worried about being hungry, don’t worry, there’s plenty of complimentary bread to go around!


6. Buy a gift card on Raise and save up to 8% off your bill.

Download the Raise app and purchase a discounted restaurant gift card. We’ve seen gift cards for The Cheesecake Factory go up to as much as 8% off your bill! How does this work? Just buy a gift card at a discounted price, and then use it toward your next night out! So awesome to be able to save 8% with no The Cheesecake Factory coupon needed.

Hip Tip: Don’t see any gift cards right now? Make sure to set the alert and get notified by email when they get more!


7. Get 50% off cheesecakes on National Cheesecake Day.

You can score slices of yummy cake for 50% off regular price during National Cheesecake Day. Plus, they’ve even launched a new flavor in past years that we’re pretty sure you’re going to love.
