Had a burger and fries. The waiter said fries could be done in a separate fryer. Did not get sick. Decent food!

Food is tasty but risk of contamination is high! They offer GF pasta but when questioned they cook the pasta in the same water as the regular. French fries are from a dedicated fryer from what the waiter told me.

I told the waitress that I had celiacs and I ordered a salad with no dressing. Chopped factory salad. I think there may have been some sort of wonton in my salad that was not supposed to be in it because I got violently ill. Will never go back!!!

Ordered two small plates- chips and guacamole and sweet corn tamale cakes- as they were listed "gluten free upon request" on the menu. The plates were NOT gluten free. Got severely ill and contacted Cheesecake Factory about their lack of training on food allergies. Haven't heard back yet.

I would give it less if I could. My mom's meal came a half hour before mine did and I only got pasta!!! When I finally got my food, it tasted good but I found remnants of regular pasta at the bottom. Sure enough, I felt sick an hour later. Would not recommend. Terrible service and got sick from it.

My dad called the manager and gave us a gift card but it is not worth the risk.

Surprisingly large gluten-free menu including gluten-free kid meals that didn't break the bank. I was pleasantly surprised, and my gluten-intolerant kid loved being able to eat out.

Amazing GF burgers, fries, pasta and cheesecake. Completely seperate menu for Gluten Allergy with a large selection for any meal including breakfast. I have a severe allergy to Gluten and have never had any problems eating here, highly recommended for those looking for delicious GF food and a lot of options.

I’ve only been here twice, on vacation one year apart. I’m pretty sure last time I didn’t have issues. But the server said that they don’t have a dedicated fryer, so the offered gf fries are not really gf.

I kinda recall that it was the same the last time I was here, as I always get the same thing.

I ordered a ceasar salad, gluten free, no croutons. The salad came out and appeared to have no croutons, but once I started eating it, there were several at the bottom covered in dressing it was clear they had accidently made it with croutons, then picked them out, missing several. Do not eat here! They are not properly trained.

I went last night and they were very helpful and knowledgeable. I ordered the tamale cakes and told the server I was GF due to allergy, not lifestyle. She made note and said she would like the kitchen know. When my food came out, I questioned again if it was GF, the server was not sure and took it back to the kitchen to confirm. I appreciated that he didn’t just say yes, but made sure. I felt fine after eating there and the tamale cakes were fantastic!

Menu has "GF upon request" marked on the menu.

Staff said the kitchen is a huge open cross contamination field and unless it was marked she wasn't sure.

I asked about having the Carbonara with the GF pasta and to check that they didn't use flour in the sauce.

She left and confirmed with the kitchen that "there was a modification in the computer to make it GF.

There isn't much in options. For app or desserts. Definitely nothing if cross contamination is an issue.
