For a GREAT Limoncello cheesecake try http://www.ciolas.com/ in Austin. Large enough for two, excellent crust. Just as good as it could get.

My favorites are, in no order of preference:
Oreo
Snickers
Chocolate Mouse
Key Lime
FWIW, that special 30th Anniversary cheesecake was pretty good & I would vote for it to be added to the menu on a regular basis.
And, in case anyone from CCF is lurking, BRING BACK THE PESTO PASTA!!!!!!!!

Cheesecake nothing...MUD PIE!
I don't eat dinner at CF (I have never seen so many people wait in line for so long to enjoy frozen boneless, skinless chicken strips prepared in so many ways), but we do swing by for a takeout mud pie. The above chocolate cake (which is good), plus two scoops of ice cream (vanilla and coffee), sliced nuts, choc. chips, hot fudge, whipped cream and cherries. Mrs. PVDProf split half of one (which is still a gluttonous quantity), and freeze the other half for another day. All for something like $8.

In no particular order
Chocolate Mousse
Oreo
Godiva
Snickers
Cookie Dough
Need to try the Tiramisu cheesecake, though it might be a while away.
And yes portions are huge. I usually eat at most, half of the main and half a slice of cheesecake and doggy-bag it all home

I'm no dieter, and despite being relatively young, I am conscious of some terrible genes I carry (health-wise), so after seeing the nutrition facts for a plain slice of cheesecake (not including the whipped cream), I usually take a slice on my own about 1/3 at a time. It's so tempting just to kind of eat it all in about 10 minutes though...

They used to have this one called Sticky Chewy Chocolate Cheesecake. Essentially it was a brownie crust, with pecans, caramel cheesecake and caramel/chocolate on top. SOOO GOOD!
I now LURVE chocolate coconut macaroon cheesecake. Just like an almond joy sans almonds. ^

Make it four. I have a group of friends that love this swill bucket. I get dragged kicking and screaming every time.
The only places that should advertise on their menus are run down clam box dives and greasy spoon diners. Not places that want $8 for a #$@#$@# slice of cheesecake, and make you wait 2 hours for the privilege of even sitting at one of their tables.
I don't get the love affair so many have with this place... I can spit venom for hours and prattle into the night ranting about this chain.
Cheers,
