The Cheesecake Factory

My husband and I ate dinner there last night. There was a glitch in the kitchen and they gave my gluten-free tacos to someone else, so they brought out a (free) salad for me while they made new tacos—which were delicious! The server could not have been better! She was very attentive and ensured I received the correct dish. They also comped my cheesecake to make up for the long wait. I will go back!

The Shepherd's Pie and cheeseburger with gluten free bun are two of my favorites! It's nice to know I can eat two different entire meals without getting sick.

I’ve been to other cheesecake factories and usually have the GF shepherd’s pie, never been glutened. Ordered it and mentioned “shepherds pie prepared gluten free, please, it’s an allergy” waiter didn’t write anything down, red flag #1. when the plate came a different person dropped it, that should’ve been red flag #2, I turned to ask the person but they ran away fast. About 15 min after finishing I’m stuck in the parkmeadow’s mall bathrooms which all have broken locks on the stall doors. Wonderful.

Took an hour to get food. They are always unsure about the fries being GF or not. :(

Much better. Staff are educated

My sweet waitress was so worried that she double checked my order with the manager just to make sure it was gluten-free.

I am the only celiac in my family so sometimes I hate going out but our waiter was AMAZING! She let me know what brand of pasta the GF was and I throughly enjoyed my meal. almost 3 hrs later and I have a happy tummy. They even have GF cheesecake!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

A number of GF options and dairy free too.

A very snarky employee told me their food touches all the other gluten food. I asked for a piece of cheese cake and he told me he couldn't get it out without touching it against gluten. I am a realist celiac. I get that it's not a sterile environment but I also know he had food I COULD eat and was not about to try to waste his time. He clearly was irritated with my presence. I left with a lump in my throat. :( super sad.... Worst case scenario celiac service.

Celiac friendly?

No

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.

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