Although people don't have the ability to go out for happy hour due to shelter in place orders, it's possible to recreate the experience at home with takeaway happy hour menus and items like [The Cheesecake Factory's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-dessert-item) limited-time Happy Hour Burger. The Happy Hour Menu from The Cheesecake Factory is offered weekdays from 2 PM to 4:30 PM for a limited time in May, and the items can be acquired by online orders for pickup or to-go curbside service.

There are 10 signature items that can be found on the menu, including favorites like full-sized portions of The Cheesecake Factory’s most popular appetizers and the Happy Hour Burger. Naturally, the [double cheeseburger](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steakhouse-char-melt) and other menu items can also be enjoyed with wine and beer.
