Items marked on menu as GF available. The waiter seemed knowledgeable and husband got the GF chicken Cesar salad. The food runner dropped off our meals, confirmed his was gluten free and she double checked that no croutons were added. Luckily before my husband started eating it he saw there were croutons. He got a new salad and the GF Godiva cheesecake and had symptoms of being glutened the next morning. We probably won’t be back, be careful eating here

BE CAREFUL EATING HERE! I was told by two waitresses two different things at two different occasions. The first waitress told me that they’re super careful in the kitchen, they have a separate fryer for fries, and they prepare food in a designated area of the kitchen. I thought, “great!” And got the four cheese pasta and didn’t think anything of it. The second waitress told me that they use the same water to boil ALL of their pasta and they use the same utensils for everything. I was upset that i was told two different things at different occasions and could’ve possibly been glutened. It’s clear that their waitresses/waiters aren’t educated on allergen protocols, especially gluten. I ended up just getting a salad with their balsamic because that was the only thing that was gluten free… boring!

Had dinner here for the first time last night. ordered the guacamole and chips and the American burger. everything was great and I didn't get sick. Our server was knowledgeable and very obliging to find out what was gluten free and possible to have contamination. HOWEVER, I want to advise other Celiacs that Godiva chocolate is NOT guaranteed gluten free, they even say so on their website that if you have Celiac/gluten sensitivity, you shouldn't consume any of their chocolates. So, I am unsure as to why The Cheesecake Factory makes a "gluten free" cheesecake with chocolate that we are advised not to eat.... I think I will contact them if I can about it.

Knowledgeable staff, GF Godiva Cheesecake was excellent -- something that I ate, however, was not GF at this location because I was very sick afterward.

I was so surprised when they handed me an entire gluten free menu! I felt like everyone else at my table & had so many options! They even had a flourless Godiva Chocolate cheesecake I devoured:) I can't wait to go back!

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
