The Cheesecake Factory

There were pieces of wheat pasta in my gluten free pasta dish. I made it very clear I had an allergy and waiter said it would be 100% safe. Got very sick. Skip this place.

Very few options, and it appeared that many meals were unable to be altered. Super disappointing.

I have never been sick here but do be extremely careful because there seems to be so many ways to get CCed here. A huge issue for me is that managers don’t bring out the GF plates so it’s up to the individual server and their knowledge, even if you carefully alert them. There are other small issues that make me feel unsafe. Like when I ask if the GF cheesecake can be sliced separately and get an attitude. The attitude that I’ve gotten from a few servers is what makes me nervous (some have been very helpful though). Even though I haven’t been sick it is never my first, second choice or even third choice to go here. Oh one more thing! And I know you all know this but never assume something is GF. For example, they cook their edamame in the pasta water!

Update- came back and felt fairly safe after my first visit (review below) but this time ended up sick within half hour. Positive it was the food. Waitress asked ME what kind of dressing I could have. I guess she didn’t check the ingredients. I’m also dairy free and I said no cheese but maybe they put butter on the gf roll. But I checked online at their allergen menu and the dressing she gave me had gluten. I didn’t think to check online beforehand. Won’t be returning. Also said fries weren’t safe but said they were the last time I was there. Doesn’t sound like they really know.

With such a huge menu it’s hard to imagine prep is free of cross contamination. I got a burger on an udis roll. My waitress assured me that their fryer for French fries is gluten free because nothing aside from regular and sweet potato fries go in there. I don’t know if it’s safe for celiac but I’m ok today. They have clearly marked items on menu.

The Godiva Chocolate cheesecake is incredible, rich, and delicious!

Recently learned from a great server that the GF fryer and regular fryer are right next to each other. The server cautioned us that he would bet that food gets in there and CC, especially their tempura batter. Glad that he explained it as I got sick last time I had the fries. Makes sense!

Yesterday went to the cheesecake factory i wasnt impressed as usual what i found strange is i oulked up there menu looked at a appetizer which stated 1 price but when in questioned the waitress told me the website was updated.in response i said to her why is the menu here stating a different price she didnt have a plausible answer anf basically walked away. They're over priced and food is not that GREAT!!!!!! Beautiful place for

show. Ive been to more down home gems gotten waaaaaay better food and service. Will not be returning anytime soon. People Rah!Rah! About this place why I dont know. Also they change the menu to much its like 6 different Resturants in one place basically a bufffet. LOL LOL can get that anywhere. The resturant is a joke

I loved the GF Menu in Cheese Cake Factory. Server was great and I had no problems with the food I ate. I will keep coming to this restaurant in Frisco TX.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I really hate it when someone has one bad experience (usually with a server, not the restaurant) and leaves a terrible review. The thing is, if you're celiac, it's going to be hard to trust ANYONE. And in my opinion, any efforts by a restaurant to move toward gluten-free should be celebrated. There are a ton of us (myself included) that are very sensitive, but not to the point of celiac. And for me, I really appreciate these restaurants adding items I can eat. And many of them end up taking them away because of the complaints about their one or two bad experiences. This isn't how to go about having your issues understood. Offer suggestions, not complaints, and in a friendly manner.

I loved the gfree options at Cheesecake Factory and had no issues.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We tried to order and eat from the Cheesecake Factory gf menu options, but first the burger came out on a regular bun, then an hour later a second attempt came with fries (not gf) instead of the salad ordered. And, there was a piece of some kind of chicken in the burger! The salad I ordered was supposed to be gf, but I am having a horrible gluten reaction... Don't trust this restaurant if you are a celiac!

Celiac friendly?

No

Big menu plus kid's menu

I have been going to cheese cake factory since I was little and always got the kids pasta with marinara sauce. When I found out they could do gluten free I was ecstatic and over the moon. Only come to find not one but multiple different noodles in my past bowl. Come on now how hard is it to separate the pastas. It wasn’t only the most recent time I went but it has happened countless times. Don’t go if u wanna throw up all over your bathroom floor.

I had their low-licious gluten free cheesecake and it was pretty great! The crust wasn’t fantastic but the filling was AMAZING! Super tasty 😋

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.

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.
