The Cheesecake Factory is adding even more meals to its growing list of delicious eats.

 

The restaurant chain is updating its ever-growing menu to keep things exciting and fresh for new and familiar guests. According to information obtained by PEOPLE, the popular eatery, already famous for its lengthy menu of over 250 dishes, recently debuted 14 new additions under its Bites & Bowls lineup.

 

In a 2017 Nation’s Restaurant News interview, founder David Overton noted that The Cheesecake Factory changes its menu twice a year to "keep people interested," and has kept that cadence for over 40 years. 

 

As detailed by the restaurant’s spokesperson, the new items deliver bold flavors, generous portions and approachable prices — all in the signature The Cheesecake Factory style. Bites are designed as “bite-sized beginnings,” but are hearty enough to share amongst diners.

 

The new starters include Chicken & Biscuits with sausage gravy and hot honey butter, New Orleans Cajun Shrimp with Creole sauce over toasted bread, classic Avocado Toast drizzled with extra virgin olive oil and Baked Brie with Truffle-Honey Butter served alongside warm bread and orange marmalade.

 

The bowl offerings include six new meals-in-a-bowl, from plant-based picks to comfort classics. Standouts include the vegan Orange Cauliflower tossed in a sweet-and-savory sauce, Chicken Katsu with teriyaki glaze and vegetables over rice and Southern Fried Chicken served with classic sides.

 

The new offerings join other recent menu additions like the Double Smash Cheeseburger, giving guests even more variety to choose from, whether they’re in the mood for a small plate, a full meal or something in between.

 

Earlier this year, during the restaurant’s first annual rotation, 13 dishes were removed from the menu, including Everything Flatbread Pizza, Mushroom Burger, Seared Ahi Tuna Salad, White Chicken Chili, Spicy Cashew Chicken, Bistro Shrimp Pasta, Fried Shrimp Platter, Petite Filet, Factory Combinations, Loaded Mashed Potato Omelette, Taco Dorados and Eggs, SkinnyLicious Lemon Herb Parmesan Chicken and the SkinnyLicious Spicy Shrimp Pasta.

 

The additions that were added include Honey Roasted Carrots, Chicken and Jalapeno Fritters, Ahi Tuna & Shrimp Ceviche, Seared Tuna Tataki Salad, SkinnyLicious Branzino, Japanese Whisky Sour, Spicy Ginger Beef Tenderloin, Margarita Verde, Yuzu Drop, Grilled Steak and Eggs, Steak Frites, Grilled Branzino, Thai Stir-Fried Noodles, Mortadella Panino, Chicken Shawarma, Charred Sugar Snap Peas and Grilled Asparagus.
