Quote from a yelp review: "Do yourself a favor - stop reading after this sentence, go to Cheesecake Machismo, wait outside as necessary based on the time of day, and order a slice of the blueberry maple. Seriously if you like cheesecake, might like cheesecake, or ever thought about liking cheesecake you need to go here immediately."
