The Cheesecake Factory

I asked for something gluten free and explained the severity. The server said he understood and when he brought my food he even made a point to say they left off the breadcrumbs. I thought I was ok until I took a few bites and found the breadcrumbs were just stirred in to cover the mistake.

Celiac friendly?

No

Had over 70 items to choose from that were gluten free and one chocolate Godiva cheesecake. The tamale corn cakes are the jam!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Items that are gf are marked on the menu “GF by request” and they have a great selection! We got the sweet corn tamale cakes for an appetizer, shepherds pie, and coffee & cream cheesecake, all gf! The other gf cheesecake option is the Godiva Chocolate cheesecake.

Be very careful here. They have items on their menu that are marked as gluten free even though they go in the same fryer with everything else. This might be a safe place for someone who is gluten sensitive but if you have celiac, I would steer clear.

Found a huge gluten noodle in my “gluten free” pasta as well as a pea. Manager said this was definitely cross contamination. Currently waiting for the reaction. Never eating here again.

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.

Updates: came here again for a quick, easy meal and had tasty food with no issues. Turkey burger no bun (they had the option of a GF bun but I wasn’t feeling it) and a side salad. The sever was really helpful and nice.

Old review: I went here with some hesitation because of the past reviews, but I had no issues. My server was helpful and I didn't have any problems with my food. I stayed on the safe side and had a salad. They do have a fun variety of options.

While I explained four times how serious it was the food was gluten free and cooked separately as my daughter has celiac disease and they assured me they had spoken to the chef and everything was safe in reality they served us tortilla chips that had been fried in the same fryer as items with gluten. When I said something about it I got a “bummer sorry” response. I contacted the headquarters and no one responded. Will never be eating there again.
