ordered the four cheese pasta gluten free, plenty of the menu can be gluten free upon request so I had tons of options! Waiter understood my request and I wasn’t glutened.

One of the best places to get gf options. The menu is huge and they have good gluten free pasta. I’ve had items modified too to be made gluten free. Never had any problems. Plus the gf cheesecake is great.

I ordered some Mexican lettuce chicken wraps. I was given plain chicken and lettuce. Its as horrible as it sounds. I had to send it back to get all the other gluten free toppings.

I'm truly excited how many GF options are offered on the menu and the quality of their bar staff during lunch time. Also, the rice noodles are actually made with rice flour so I was able to order the Chicken Lettuce Asian Tacos without modifications; that made my heart so happy.

I debated about eating at the bar because bartenders sometimes get annoyed about food allergies. With a long wait for a table, we decided to give it a try. The bartender was AWESOME! He pressed all of the food allergy buttons when he put my order in and then, went to the kitchen to discuss my allergies with the chef.

Good gf menu but when I asked about gf and dairy free dressing options she changed her mind twice.. It almost led to a mixup and then she asked how serious my allergy was because she didn't want me to faint. More training is needed.

They just debuted the GF menu at some of the Cheesecake Factory restaurants. The Tysons location has the menu, and it is a great menu -- lots of options, even pasta (they have GF fusili). However, I would definitely exercise caution here. I ordered Evelyn's pasta with the GF fusili and found a piece of regular pasta mixed in my dish. They clearly do not have their act together on cross-contamination and safety issues for those who need to be GF.

I let the server know I was gluten free - coeliac multiple times so she would get my order right and I confirmed with her again before my meals came out and she still gave me the gluten cheesecake instead of the gluten free one

I went here and ordered a gluten free burger and bun. The food came with a gluten bun. I sent it back as I noticed it wasn’t gluten free. I woke up sick as a dog for two days. If you’re sensitive don’t eat here. Even after the gluten free bun change I still got sick.

Was not bad but experience varies by server. We came twice as staying nearby... only on the 2nd visit did our server correct the misinformation from the first server.

There is NO dedicated fryer... it is shared oil. A lot of the staff are unclear of the difference
