The Cheesecake Factory

I was excited to try it out because it was my first time there ever (before diagnosis and now both) and I knew they had a bunch of options. The server was so incredibly nice and willing to do whatever we needed. I got GF pasta in the Farfalle with Chicken and Roasted Garlic and I had 5 bites before I felt so bad. I had a reaction very quick (after not having eaten all day so no prior contaminated food) and it was very bad. We came from out of town and I had to deal with an hour ride back smelling the leftover food that made me sick and feeling sick to my stomach.

Celiac friendly?

No

They have gluten free options and the fries are in a dedicated fryer. Wish the gluten free menu was a separate menu as the little GF you need to look for is small since the lights are low making it difficult to see. The Godiva cheesecake is NOT gluten free. The sundae is but it’s huge, you will need to share.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have a decent amount of gluten free options. However, they offer Godiva cheesecake as the gluten free cheesecake but Godiva chocolate is not gluten free! Their vinaigrette dressing is also not gluten free because it uses malt vinegar.

The food was good and I didn't get sick, but the lack of education and knowledge of the staff is highly concerning. I waited for a couple days to see if I got sick, which was pure luck when I didn't, I believe.

The Godiva cheesecake is NOT GF, do not fall for that. Too much cross contamination.

Celiac friendly?

No

I have always loved this place! I was extremely disappointed when I was diagnosed with celiacs that I couldn't eat here anymore. Just recently I found out they have a separate menu for GF and the Godiva Cheesecake is GF. Depending on your level of sensitivity they are also willing to give you cheesecake without the crust( as that is the only gluten in most of them). I did not get sick from any cross contamination either. Unfortunately I wish my waitress was a little more educated on the matter.

Yes

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. :(
