Gluten free pasta is cooked in the same water as wheat pasta and they are unable (unwilling) to cook it separately.

Two cheesecake choices - the godiva chocolate or the lowlicious. I had the godiva and it was so good! I was envious of my boyfriend who had the whole menu to choose from but that soon disappeared once mine arrived! The portions are so big!

Do not eat here. They gave me a full gluten hamburger bun after I told them FOUR TIMES it had to be gluten free. Luckily the bathrooms at nearby Neiman Marcus are great.

What is not to love! GF Godiva cheesecake! Large piece so couldn’t finish it all. Only thing to make better would be a fruit choice as it was limited

Menu states what can be made gf. When the food was brought to our table they specifically said gf Caesar and gf shrimp pasta. And the waitress caught my daughter taking some of my son’s french fries and said those are fried in same oil with things with flour so you may not have any to eat them. I know it’s a chain but we’ve never had any issues.

We have never had a good experience at the Cheesecake Factory- it's highly over rated. Save your money & go else where. The food is just mediocre & they really don't care about food allergies. They need to educate their waitstaff of what gluten is.

They don't have "GF" items - they have items that are on the menu that don't have gluten in them. They make no effort to be GF at all. Its just regular menu items that wouldn't come with gluten anyway.

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. :(
