The Cheesecake Factory

I get steak or the shepherds pie. The shepherds pie is made gluten free automatically and made ahead of time. I’ve had no issues, but I haven’t tried their pasta. I don’t think it would be a good idea. The Godiva chocolate cheesecake is gluten free and very good. It is a very rich cake, and I ate it over a few days. Definitely recommend it if nothing else.

I’ve been two separate times and have been gluten-ed twice. The drive is terrible and the kitchen is constantly messing everything up. The first visit they served me the wrong pasta.. the second visit they served me the wrong cheesecake. My husband also gets cross contaminated EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. It’s too expensive to get terrible service and to just get sick from.

The Gluten free cheesecake options are in the same cases & mixed throughout the cakes. Don’t think they know about cross contamination well. Didn’t see an issue with them being mixed together & causing any gluten issues. The waiter seemed to be good & careful with our meals.

My waitress has an uncle with celiac and so she was great! The fries are fried in a separate fryer, but the manager came to my table to tell me the fryer was by the flouring station so cross contamination could happen. Wow! So impressed. Nima tested the food and no gluten detected! And the burger was soooo yummy!

I have eaten gluten free here 4 or 5 times and had good luck. Today was the exception. I ordered the GF four cheese pasta. The noodles were spiral like the GF they normally serve and I believe they were. However the flavor of sauce was a little different. I have an allergy to gluten. About half way into the meal my nose started running, headache, and all the symptoms of an exposure. I confirmed with our server and she verified I had the correct noodles. I went on here and read that another recent person had exposure with a few non gluten noodles found in his pasta. My guess is cross contamination in the kitchen. Marking the pasta off the list. Only the Godiva Cheesecake for me when here.

Celiac friendly?

No

My husband ordered a GF burger. Halfway through his meal, they came and told him they gave him the wrong burger and had given his GF burger to another table (who didn’t like it btw). Sure, they were sorry but it shows an obvious lack of process for GF.

Celiac friendly?

No

Went here last weekend for a friend's birthday because we knew there were gluten free options, and reviews said they were good about someone needing no cross contamination. The first item I ordered they were out of, so I reluctantly ordered one of there pastas with the gluten free noodles. I unfortunately took a few bites then started to portion out my dish, because I knew I couldn't eat it all unless I wanted to over eat. As I was doing g this I found several macaroni noodles (not gluten free) in it. Before we could even leave the restaurant I was already having problems. The only positive is that the server and manager were very swift to take action and make sure I was alright and regularly checked on me while my friends finished their meals.

The Godiva chocolate cheesecake brings me back over and over!

Very accommodating and large choice of options. So refreshing to not have to choose from just salads.

Great gluten free menu with easily made vegetarian/vegan options!

Fair amount of gluten free foods

Cheesecake is always safe for me.

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

Tried to order a gluten free four cheese pasta for my Celiac daughter. When asked if they cook the pasta in separate water and use separate utensils, they said unfortunately they cook it in the same water as gluten pasta and they can’t use separate water. :(
