The Cheesecake Factory

I had to google to find gluten free options (no GF menu listed online). I ordered the factory nachos. They told me that I couldn’t have the cheese sauce but could have cheddar Jack cheese to make it GF. I had heartburn after eating it and was sick later on. My guess is that the tortilla chips are cc’d. I have tried to eat here a few times since getting diagnosed with celiac. This isn’t a safe place for celiac.

Got the ribeye steak, fries, and a chocolate cheesecake (1 of 2 GF cheesecakes). Food was delicious and I didn't have a reaction from it.

They're not dedicated gf, but our server was pretty knowledgeable and kind about dealing with my celiac.

Waiter was very helpful and answered all my questions. If he didn’t know, he went and asked the kitchen. I felt like I was in good hands eating there. I ended up with a burger and salad, which were both average.

My Celiac daughter ordered the gluten free burger with a gluten free bun and fruit. Within an hour vomiting, diarrhea, and all signs of eating gluten. Waiter assured us that they could accommodate and that everything would be gluten free. Never again :(

Celiac friendly?

No

good but very expensive and only one option for cheese cake

I have celiac disease I went here today for lunch. I was very careful and checked with both the hostess before sitting down and with my server before ordering. Both assured me that they treat gluten as an allergy and that I would be fine eating there. Although they assured me that I would be fine as I was eating I realized there was a gluten noodle in my pasta that I had accidentally eaten. I will now most likely be very sick from this. I altered the staff and both my server and manager were very apologetic and did not make me pay but I will never eat here again and I wouldn't recommend it for anyone with celiac disease or even a gluten allergy.

Celiac friendly?

No

I'm glad other people have eaten here and not gotten glutened. However, I've gotten sick every time I've eaten here! Maybe it's my fault for ordering gluten free pasta dishes, but they shouldn't label it gluten free if it's not! I do appreciate the large gluten free menu though.. So I felt like that warranted 3 stars!

Menu is marked with GF options. Dedicated fryer for fries is awesome! I've eaten here many times and I'm very sensitive. I have not gotten sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had a wonderful GF burger. Can't wait to go again.

Their PPM disclaimer keeps me from giving a Celiac friendly rating, but I am severely gluten sensitive and did not get sick after eating there.

Celiac friendly?

No

I ordered their only GF salad & GF cheesecake. I’m uncertain which made me sick. But I’m sooooo sick. I don’t know if it is full blown gluten yet or just cross-contamination….but it feels like I ate gluten.

Had a delicious meal here on a quick stop during a road trip. The server was well informed about gf and I felt very full but not glutened by the time we left!

The waiter was awesome and helped me order celiac safe food and even got my slice of cheesecake himself since he wasnt sure if the bakery staff was educated on the protocol for celiac customers.

The gluten free burger bun was delicious! I was very grateful for the ease of ordering GF here. Many menu items are available gluten free upon request, and are clearly marked as so on the menu. I did not feel like I had any kind of issues or reactions after.
