The Cheesecake Factory

Ordered pasta (garlic something) and 2 hours later I was throwing up and NOT FEELING WELL!

I have ordered GF before and I've been fine, so I'm guessing it is a hit and miss.

I won't be back though, not worth the risk :(

They have gluten free options for pasta, burger and a cake. They clearly mark gluten free in their menu. I think they serve things as gluten free and not as gluten friendly but def something to ask next time

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I've been here dozens of times and I always order the same thing, gluten free 4 cheese pasta. (Thankful not to have a dairy allergy). One time, a few years ago, it came out with the wrong noodles, which I noticed immediately, because they are a different shape than the gf spirals. They also quickly realized the mistake and the waitress and manager came running out to make sure I didn't eat it. They were proactive, sincerely apologized, made me a new one and didn't charge my husband and I for our meal, at their insistence. Very good customer service and they kept us as customers. It's smart of them to have a different shape for gf pasta, so I knew not to eat it!

I can only say one word about this restaurant. HORRIBLE! When I went there I asked if they had anything that was gluten free and the waiter started to make fun of gluten intolerances and celiac. He doesn't believe they shouldn't have food since being gluten free is "retarded". My family and friends have never eaten their again.

Celiac friendly?

No

There is a new menu, strictly for gluten free customers. This is the first time I've visited in a while. Was told the g free, separately spiral bound menu is just a couple of months old. Off that menu, I ordered black, unsweetened iced tea, sweet potato fries to share as an appetizer, and the Shepherd's Pie. Something gave me the swollen, butterflies in my glutenized stomach at the 2-3 hour mark. I was told the fries were made in a separate fryer, and the Shepherd's Pie was made in advance (which I thought would eliminate the risk of cross contam). I told the waitress I had a gluten allergy, as opposed to the true Celiac Disease line, in the hope that it would help with all cross contamination. I am not sure what made me sick. I just know I am. Service was great. Not sure went wrong in the kitchen for me.

Celiac friendly?

No

I was told the steak medallions could be made gluten free, though was sick afterward. Leaving 2 stars since the Godiva cheesecake was pretty good.

Other Characteristics

• Good for takeout

I enjoyed a lovely omelette & my daughter had gf pasta. They served us gf toast in place of the bread basket. We were too full to have it but there was a gf cheesecake option too that looked amazing. The server understood cross contamination & advised against the fries (despite them being marked gf, they are cooked in contaminated fryers). She even warned us that gf was a ‘fad’ in Florida & to always make it clear it’s an allergy & not a preference (I know coeliac isn’t an allergy but it’s easier for others to understand that).

If you ever come here ask to sit in wendys section! Shes a celiac waitress and she went above and beyond for my sister and I who are both celiac. From bringing us gluten free toasted bun to telling us what all on the menue is gluten free. Such as the orange chicken that I thought I couldnt eat again! I had such an amazing time here and definitely recommend it to anyone!

Update July 2022: I got the same dish that I usually get but was bloated that night so got some cross contamination. I got an order to go so I feel I couldn’t explain my needs as much. Anyway be careful. Not as good as it used to be. Got the salmon and substituted green beans and got the mashed potatoes. Excellent. Got the Godiva cheesecake. Super yummy. I have had good experiences with Cheesecake factory’s across the country but I always make sure to be clear about needing gluten free and cross contamination. Always ask with cheesecake to use a clean spatula and wash hands first.

Over all its was just fine. Nothing over the top special. Had gluten free buns and has a dedicated fryer. The burger was good. Due to “staffing shortage” they had a limited menu. About 50% of the menu was not available. Our waiter was good and you can make online reservations.
