Memories Charcoal House may have an inviting name, but unfortunately, the memory of their cheesecake is one I wish I could erase. From the moment it was served, disappointment set in. Plated in a plain white circular glass bowl that was clearly too small for the slice, the presentation lacked any sense of effort or appeal. This was not a cheesecake that inspired excitement.

Sadly, the issues didn’t end with the plating. The crust was a disaster—crumbly, flavorless, and lacking the structure needed to support the filling. A well-made crust can elevate a cheesecake, but this one did the exact opposite. The filling, while marginally better, was utterly uninspiring—bland, forgettable, and unable to compensate for the crust’s failure.

If there was any flavor to be found, it came solely from the whipped cream, and that is never a good sign. A cheesecake should stand on its own, with the whipped cream serving as a complement, not the main source of enjoyment. Rarely do I encounter a cheesecake that I take one bite of and immediately don’t want another, but that was the case here.

At $7.90, this cheesecake failed on nearly every level, earning it a dismal 2/10 rating. It now joins Pete’s Steakhouse in the unfortunate category of worst of the worst.

If you’re craving cheesecake, I highly recommend looking elsewhere. Check out my previous reviews on Cheesecake with Jake for better options—because this is one dessert you should definitely pass on.
