Food is definitely unremarkable, but I actually enjoyed the cheesecake. The portions are outrageous though so better to get 1 slice and share it.

Oh it is bizarre, I just thought it was funny he singled it out to put below mcdonalds with a place that barely has food, and so far below Olive Garden which is roughly the same tier for most people.

I recall the menu being gigantic and also having ads in it.
Massive portions of trucked in microwaveable meals.
It's the fanciest restaurant in your local strip mall and its fans look just as you'd expect.

Never been to one, but I feel like the bizarre name is a bit like the yellow stripes on a wasp; a warning.

Oh, even Americans find it completely bizarre
https://www.google.com/amp/s/mashable.com/article/cheesecake...
The restaurants appear to be trying to look fancy, with their extravagant yet tastelessly cheesy interior design. I wasn't sure if it was some kind of ironic inside joke that everyone from the USA is in on?
Despite the OTT design, the food was unremarkable. Not too surprising given that the menu has so many items, and it comes in such giant portions - but hard to reconcile with the decor and reputation.
And indeed, despite the name, the cheesecakes were easily the worst part of the meal.
