The Cheesecake Factory

It’s not worth it, at all. I wanted to give it a try since it hasn’t been a couple years since the last GF review. My wife and I went for lunch and they have maybe 2-3 options in each section of 10+ items that are gluten free optional. If you get something that is GF but is fried, it’s not separated to a GF fryer. You’d think with all of the selections they have, they’d have more GF options.

While I explained four times how serious it was the food was gluten free and cooked separately as my daughter has celiac disease and they assured me they had spoken to the chef and everything was safe in reality they served us tortilla chips that had been fried in the same fryer as items with gluten. When I said something about it I got a “bummer sorry” response. I contacted the headquarters and no one responded. Will never be eating there again.

I ordered an omelette of the menu and told the waitress that I was allergic to gluten. About halfway through eating my meal I opened the omelette and there were numerous strands of spaghetti in my omelette. NEVER has this happened to me. I got extremely sick. I would not trust this kitchen to make anything celiac friendly if spaghetti wound up in an omelette.

Celiac friendly?

No

Just learned that CF has gluten free options this past week! We ate there last night and it was delicious! I had lemon herb roasted chicken. We ate there tonight and my gf mushroom hamburger came with a gf bun! I expected a bunless burger, but this was a nice surprise. Fries were offered and I asked if they were fixed in a dedicated fryer; the server checked and said yes, but the regular fryer was right next to it and the chef suggested there was a chance of cross contamination, so I passed on the fries. A wonderful experience!

Godiva cheesecake is incredible!

Multi-plage gluten free men, including several pasta dishes! I got the gf 4 cheese pasta and it was delicious! They even have a gf Godiva chocolate cheesecake! I will definitely be going back. I spoke with the manager when placing my order and he answered all of my questions well.

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. :(
