The Cheesecake Factory

I ate here for a work dinner when traveling to SA for work. The GF options aren’t extensive, but they had enough that I could choose a couple of things I wanted. The skinny margarita is gluten free and was good. I ate the salmon dish, but since I’m also lactose intolerant, thy gave me fries instead of mashed potatoes. Food was good and the service was outstanding.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Awesome Godiva gluten free cheese cake.

I had a great experience! We sat at the bar and she was fantastic about all things gluten; I even had a visit from a manager saying that their chips for the guac weren't gf and asking if I wanted celery sticks instead. And this is the only reason I gave them 4 stars instead of 5; I feel like if your guac dish is marked as gf, it should be or they should keep gf corn chips on hand...it's not like they are hard to come by!

I had their kale salad, some guac and Steak Diane, plus the Godiva Cheesecake, all delish and seemingly gf! The bartender did say that they are very careful about serving utensils when they have the cheesecakes, but there's not a dedicated space for the Godiva there, so there could be contamination.

This Cheescake Factory location is not as good as the La Cantera location at doing gluten free, but it may depend on your server. They are usually way, way too crowded and chaotic, especially on weekends. However, the corn cakes are super here and you probably can't go wrong with them! If you do go, you have to insist that they cut the godiva cheesecake with a new knife or else they do use the same one on multiple cheesecakes.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I've been to other Cheesecake Factory restaurants and this was terrible. We came in towards the end of the night and our waitress didn't know what gluten free meant. I explained it and she said she'd alert the kitchen. I ordered the pasta carbonara as I have done at the other restaurants and it was a huge mistake. I took a bite and the pasta did not seem to taste gluten free and the texture was like regular pasta. She assured me it was gf and I was starving and at it. Before I even left there I was extremely ill. I was sick for almost 2 weeks. I know I should have trusted my instincts. I will not go back to this location as I feel they did not care and were unhappy we came in an hour before closing.

I let the server know I was gluten free - coeliac multiple times so she would get my order right and I confirmed with her again before my meals came out and she still gave me the gluten cheesecake instead of the gluten free one

I went here and ordered a gluten free burger and bun. The food came with a gluten bun. I sent it back as I noticed it wasn’t gluten free. I woke up sick as a dog for two days. If you’re sensitive don’t eat here. Even after the gluten free bun change I still got sick.

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
