Recently there was a zoning sign placed on 71st next to the far south Woodland Hills Mall parking lot no-one uses. I assumed that area was going to be redeveloped into an outparcel with some new chain restaurant going in it or a strip mall. In the past week they have run temp electrical service, put a construction trailer and bathroom facilities as well as a fence around the whole area. I realized that this lot itself isn't being developed, it's being used a construction office/equipment parking.
With that much stuff, what are they building? Is the mall getting another major overhaul?
There is a shopping strip going in over there.

There is on the westside where coach's/okeedokees was but all the dirtwork is done.
Its a hotel then. [:P]
There's a couple of new things--to the east will be a hotel. To the south will be a restaurant--rumor has it a Cheesecake Factory.

God that's depressing, why would they build a Cheesecake factory out there in the parking lot of Woodland.

Well, while I like the fact the unnecessary parking is being used for something other than heat reflectors, I had higher hopes. My plan would be putting Parking garages on NW and SE corners (the first floor levels) and raising the mall to 3 stories.

I think they should move it next door to the Heart Hospital down the street. That way you wouldn't have far to go...

I don't know, but I believe it .... they just built one by Penn Square Mall in OKC.

With gas getting more expensive that's probably a good idea.

TO manufacturing cheesecake. Duh. [:P]
I can confirm that a Cheesecake Factory is going in.
That aside, best cheesecake place is Kerri Cakes at 29th and Harvard. You can get a 6" cheesecake for $6. I highly recommend it.

i have ate at one in san antonio & one in frisco, i think its overpriced. the menu is diverse, but they dont seem to do any one thing well, though the cheesecakes at both places were pretty good, though i should hope so, considering the name of the place. the portions are sizable, but i'd rather pay less and not waste half of the chicken sandwich that is roughly the size of a dinner plate. just my .02
I like cheesecake factory. Won't eat there every day or anything, but it will probably be a decent place for birthdays and stuff. The menu is ludicrous in size.
I haven't been by in awhile but considering there is a construction trailer there, I can't imagine construction starting is that far off.

I'm pretty sure they arrive frozen.
Perhaps a more accurate name for them would simply be "cheesecake store"

there I fixed it for you.
BTW, cant you get these in Sams?
The stuff at sams is cheesecake factory branded stuff. Definitely not what you get in the store. A cheesecake is like $80 and up.
What we need is a Fogo de Chao restaurant.
For some reason my company ends up going there every time we have an offsite lunch meeting. I always cringe but the food's really not bad. It seems to be extremely busy all the time.
My wife and I eat there every time we are in Dallas. Glad we are getting one here. Woodland has worked on it since Rreef owned the mall. We always split a meal and still take our cheese cake back to the hotel with us and eat it later. The portions are so big.

I love Fogo de Chao, someone told me we had a place like it here, Gaucho Inc
(918) 494-0042
6219 E 61st St
Tulsa, OK 74136-2120
We will co there and see if it is as good as Fogo.
I've heard Gaucho is good, but if you're on a budget, go at lunch. Lunch costs about half the price of dinner.
Cheesecake Factory opens today.

Seems funny that the mayor shows up to restaurant openings.

I thought it was funny, too....Except her predecessor would have been at Quiktrip at 3 in the afternoon getting junk food....or at the gym....or on any other number of errands. I got used to seeing the guy tooling around town like he was retired or something. I'm just glad Kathy shows up, even if it does seem rather minor.
Well Channel 8 was there for the opening too so I guess it is considered news.
Ok, now that it has been open awhile, has anyone eaten at the Cheesecake Factory? The lines there are ridiculous. I had a friend eat there that said everything was pretty good but way overpriced and he wont be back there to eat.

I went, waited like 30 minutes. Tip I found out later is that the bar has first come, first serve tables.
This is not a mid-price place like everything else on 71st. Two meals cost me about $65 out the door. If you keep in mind the servings are more "family size" and split a meal between two people, the prices aren't that bad. Pop is $3 though, so order water.
