I read the other reviews so I will lead with this. As of right now I’m not celiac I just am allergic to gluten. That said I have now had 2 very nice experiences at Cheesecake Factory. What stinks for me is I’m allergic to a lot! This makes the GF options hard for me to fully enjoy. They do have a cheesecake that is GF but I can’t have dairy. All this said they carefully prepare salmon in a separate pan for me and made me gluten free pasta. They tried very hard to add in some other things like avocado and cashews which I can eat. The manager and servers are good and will work with you. I’m going there this weekend with a friend. Fingers crossed!!!

They use the same pasta water they use for normal pasta... Which any celiac suffering person knows is cross contamination.

My father and I have celiac disease and we ordered the gluten free four cheese pasta and my father's came out with regular pasta mixed in with the gluten free pasta. They also stated they do not have a dedicated fryer anymore.

Never had issues with this location. Then I ordered a side of mashed potatoes with a take out meal and found actual pieces of bread in it. Needless to say I was sick for a week. Don’t trust this location, they don’t understand the seriousness of this mistake and had no explanation for it.

Great food! The gluten free buns are delicious! The turkey burger is my go-to! I have also had their pasta and it is very good... clearly labeled on the menu which can be made gluten free!

Went here about a month ago and had the cheese burger on GF bun and fries and was fine. Went back a couple days ago and ordered the same thing and have been sick for 2 days. Didn't even make it outside the restaurant. There definitely had to be cross contamination. Will not be going back.

I went here with a few friends from college last night and I loved my cheeseburger that was made with a Udi's gluten free bun. The last time I had gone to this location I had the same cheeseburger and didn't have any reaction to it so I figured it was a safe bet to have it again. Unlike last time, however, I decided to order the so called "gluten-free" Godiva Flourless Cheesecake. I didn't have a full out reaction to it, but I woke up this morning not feeling so great and am really annoyed that the Cheesecake Factory claims that the Godiva cheesecake is gluten free when it actually isn't

They seem to offer very few options. We had roasted chicken w mashed potatoes and grilled salmon which were good. Even though they offer GF bun- Burgers and fries are cross contaminated. Waitress was very kind to warn of cross contamination. But manager would supervise any GF orders.

Wow - never thought I could eat cheesecake without getting really sick until I tried an amazing chocolate cheesecake from here. My mom got it for me and it was soooo good, and I didn't get sick! I also had the gluten free mac and cheese. It was good, but the pasta was a little undercooked. But I know how finicky gf pasta can be!

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. :(
