The Cheesecake Factory

Got the GF pasta with chicken and pancetta. Also got the Godiva cheesecake to go. The server wasn’t the most knowledgeable, but made an effort and checked with the kitchen.

They served bread on the table for the other guests.

The corn cakes are marked GF and looked really good but check they’re not fried.

The four cheese pasta was really good, but I found a couple of non gluten free pasta mixed in with my “gluten free” pasta. I will not be going back, they obviously do not care about cross contamination. Do not recommend.

Celiac friendly?

No

We ordered a burger and specified for the gf option. The waiter brought the burger out on the same tray as a basket of bread that was for another table. We could clearly see bread crumbs flying from the basket onto our burger. Most likely will not go again.

Celiac friendly?

No

Despite ordering something marked "GF upon request" and specifying my need for it to be gluten-free, my broccoli had several spaghetti noodles in it. Clearly cooked in a shared pot. Not at all celiac friendly - avoid like the plague.

Celiac friendly?

No

So I walk in ask the host if they have a Gluten free menu and he says yes! I then ask (as all celiacs must do)If they had separate fryers for non gluten items like fries. He says yes! I say great we will take a table.

Our server arrives I ask him about the fryers he said he had to check with kitchen. When he comes back he said that yes they are safe and fried separately. Great so I order burger GF bun and fries. Simple enough right?

So after about 20 mins he comes over to tell me that he is going on break and introduced our new server. She comes back 10 mins later and tells me that the fries are safe and being cooked separately. I never mentioned this to her but I was glad she knew what was up.

ANOTHER 30 mins goes by. So now it's been an hour since ordering. At this point the manager comes over and says that they can't make the fries separately and that they never do. I let him know that 3 people told me otherwise and it is marked GF on their menu. He apologizes and offers me a side salad instead. I say ok cause we were starving and annoyed.

After all this the "salad" he brought out was literally a tiny bowl of nothing but lettuce. Not one tomato, shred of carrot....nothing.

Nothing was taken off our bill. About an hour and half for this nonsense.

FAIL. Corporate will be getting a letter and I have never done that.

Celiac friendly?

No

I was very disappointed when I went for dinner my with my family. I ordered the gluten-free pasta. I was in bed for the next few days after discovering gluten noodles in my leftovers.

Celiac friendly?

No

They have amazing gf substitutions! Love to get their pasta & burgers

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I've been eating here for seven years gluten free. I stick to the plain salmon with br rice and veggies which helps. I recently went to check out their new GF menu. They now have Udis hamburger buns and heartlands rice and corn pasta. I found a wheat spaghetti noodle in my sons GF pasta. Not good!

Celiac friendly?

No

I always get the grilled shrimp skinny tacos. I never get sick. They are releasing a gluten free menu on August 22.

I went here on Black Friday and the restaurant is cute! Their menu was clearly labeled for what could be made gluten free. I told the waiter three times that I have a gluten allergy (I have celiac) and wanted a gluten free bun for my burger. He repeated the order back to me and told me the fries were in a designated frier. Unfortunately, the burger had a gluten bun. I took one bite and felt suspicious that it didn’t have a normal gluten-free bun texture, so I focused on my fries. When he came to clear the plates, he apologized for bringing me a gluten bun, but I had already taken a bite of it. They comped my burger, but I would not come back here. I made it very clear that I could not have gluten and they served me a bun with gluten. I was very bummed about this so I gave my GF cheesecake to my sister. I got sick that night. Disappointing :(

The first thing I told my server about was that I had celiacs disease and before I could explain anything she explained her sister also had celiac and she knew I couldn’t eat gluten. I explained to her about cross contamination and she assured me I would be great. I got nachos and she said they couldn’t put a kind of cheese on it and that they could only melt cheese. I was fine with it. Right after I ate them I felt sick. Come to find out, the chips are mixed with flour tortillas and corn tortillas. Please be careful if eating her.

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

Be careful here (gluten contamination).

They have gf pasta, they cook in different water and pans…but my pasta had spaghetti noodles in it. The manager came out and had no idea how or why it happens and was appropriately concerned, so hopefully they will fix this. But their current kitchen staff is sloppy - my husband’s (gluten) pasta here also had extra different noodles in it.

So if you have celiac, don’t order pasta here. Probably stick with the tamale cakes that are naturally gf and shouldn’t get contaminated.
