"Two things save Canoga Park from the last spot on this list: plentiful free parking at the Westfield Topanga and the string-lit front patio with a corrugated roof that makes it look like an REI store. Our main grip with this Cheesecake Factory, however, is the long S-shaped dining room, a seemingly sleek design touch that turns out to be completely impractical. Come dinner rush the walkway between booths clogs up with big groups faster than the Sepulveda Pass on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving." - brant cox, cathy park, garrett snyder
