    Portion size is outrageous, and the cheesecake significantly exceeds expectations.

    I'm assuming, like most other US things that come to Canada, that ours won't be as good. Case study: Buffalo Wild Wings. Definitely different here than there (e.g. they offer unlimited wings there for like $5).

    Moot point though. I definitely won't be travelling all the way to the NE for this, no matter how good the cheescake is. (scared white guy, checking in)

    Indubitably good sir, we shall stick to our local Mercato/Vin room etc. I would say Red Water but it was recently replaced with Allora (of which I should really go try... love me some Italian)

    Anyone know when the switch is happening? Booking my bday party there one last time, can still book online, but no clue if they're still open in July. Can't actually call the location directly to find out, goes to a call center.

    I'm starting to feel it was an April Fools prank. No info anywhere besides that tiny sign.

    It’s unlimited play now (time constrained). Swipe card, get a token, repeat. Last time I was there some mom literally camped out on that machine because at the rate you get tokens from your card, you would get an large amount of tickets. Little did she know they jacked up the number of tickets needed for prizes to counter this.

    They have those exact ticket machines at a Treehouse Play center we were at for a 2 year old's birthday recently. A bunch of us played games for tickets to pool them and buy a toy for the birthday girl, we had way over 1000 tickets, and the most we could buy was a dollar store item worth maybe $0.25-0.50 haha. The paper the tickets were printed on were worth more I'm sure. The ratio is such that there isn't even any point to playing, you'd have to hit the grand prize "500 tickets" jackpots or whatever dozens and dozens of times in a row to even think about a decent prize.

    Took my 5 year old there 2 weeks ago and me and my wife did the exact same thing lol it was a pain in the ass to swipe to get each coin but we were getting a good amount of tickets. We did the 60 min play and got around 900 tickets so we thought we were going to get some decent prizes. We got a kazoo, stickers and a lollipop My kid had a good time so thats all that matters and we went on a saturday at 7:30 so it was pretty dead. I cant see a CF fitting in there though, there was a huge place under construction right across though.

    and I did not have the only say in the matter (most people just want it done ASAP and don't care about quality).

    If anything we made a better decision because we had a consensus and were all on the same page.

    Did they not close CCF on Shaganappi? They need to open Red Robin again.

    Nah guys, that was called The Cheesecake Company. Just to add even more confusion to the mix

    Still, that was the Cheesecake Cafe, which is a pisspoor ripoff of The Cheesecake Factory.

    The place on shag that you guys are talking about started as a cheesecake cafe but then they shut that down and someone else turned it into the cheesecake company which is now closed too. We actually went to the cheese cake company and it was very similar to the cheescake cafe with how they displayed the cakes but the food was horrible
