The Cheesecake Factory in Glendale, 5799 N. Bayshore Dr., nabbed the top spot in this year's Best Restaurant: Northern Suburbs category.

Shorewood's North Star American Bistro, 4518 N. Oakland Ave., came in second place.

The Cheesecake Factory is known for its massive menu of more than 200 menu items and its generous portions. Hence the name, it's also quite famous for its cheesecake offerings from the original creamy cheesecake with a graham-cracker-and-sour-cream topping to more adventuresome slices like the white chocolate caramel macadamia nut or the seasonal pumpkin cheesecake.
