  37. Chicken penne pasta with marinara sauce and basil Net 0

    Only neutral feedback

    “We ordered the chicken penne pasta with marinara sauce and basil, meatloaf with mashed potatoes, classic fried calamari, and a chocolate cheesecake for dessert. They also served complimentary bread and butter to start, which was a great touch. The fried calamari arrived first and it did not disappoint, tender on the inside, perfectly crispy on the outside, and the dipping sauces were simple but really elevated the flavor. 😊 The meatloaf was the star of the night. The sauce, texture, and flavor were outstanding. The mashed potatoes, however, could have been better, they tasted a bit rushed, with large chunks and not as creamy as expected. I was excited for the chicken penne pasta since I’d been craving pasta. Jennifer kindly added a scoop of parmesan on top, which I appreciated. The chicken pieces were good and the pasta was perfectly al dente, but the marinara sauce felt a bit watery and lacked richness and depth. I was also expecting fresh basil leaves rather than a basil-style sauce.”

Plan Ahead. For evening visits, expect a wait; consider going off-peak or joining the list before walking around The Beach at JBR.

Use The Buzzer. The buzzer lets you wait outside by the arcade rather than standing at the entrance until your table is ready.

The Bottom Line

The Cheesecake Factory at Jumeirah Beach Residence is a broad-menu American restaurant where the portions are built for hungry groups and sharing. Reviews commonly mention Chicken Madeira, loaded nachos, pasta and burgers, while the cheesecakes are the main draw for dessert fans. Oreo, chocolate, strawberry, cinnamon and pineapple versions all receive specific praise.

The setting is a major part of the appeal. Balcony and terrace tables look towards the beach and Ain Dubai, and several diners describe the atmosphere as lively but comfortable. It suits family meals, birthdays and large gatherings, with complimentary bread and butter adding a welcome start.

The menu is extensive, although one vegetarian diner found the choice comparatively limited. Plan around the crowds, particularly in the evening: reported waits range from 30–40 minutes to an hour. The buzzer system means you can walk around JBR or wait near the arcade instead of staying by the entrance.

Portions are easy to over-order, so sharing is sensible, especially for nachos and cheesecake. Parking can be more manageable if you spend over AED 100 and ask about the three-hour JBR extension. Dine-in is the safer choice for presentation and handling; delivery reviews mention soft packaging, spills and, in one case, an open container and undercooked chicken.
