Fettuccini Alfredo
According to one former Cheesecake Factory employee, there's one specific pasta dish you should never order at the restaurant chain. She warns against ordering the Fettuccini Alfredo.

Fried Chicken & Waffles Benedict
The Cheesecake Factory is actually a popular spot for Sunday brunch. The Fried Chicken & Waffles Benedict, however, is one item you shoudn't order. Why? It's 2,580 calories, has 86 grams of fat, and almost 3,400 milligrams of salt.
Buffalo Blasts
Sometimes you want to pick an appetizer as your dinner, and that's okay. However, that's also a safe bet for raking in hundreds (or thousands) of calories without even realizing it. Before you reach for the 8-piece Buffalo Blasts, you should know that they are a whopping 1,090 calories.
Miso Salmon
Something smells fishy, and it's the calories that are lurking in your Cheesecake Factory Miso Salmon dinner. Salmon can actually be unhealthy, depending on which foods your pair it with. Ready for this? In one single serving of the Miso Salmon dish you eat a total of 1,674 calories. Yeah, no thanks.
