Prior to going to the restaurant, we called to make sure there were policies in place to prevent cross contamination and that they used a separate pot and water to boil gluten free pasta. The manager assured us that they would be careful. When we ordered, we made sure to tell the server that our child had celiac and could not have gluten. When the food was brought, we asked again to make sure. As my daughter ate, she said she felt like the pasta had gluten, but we assured her it was fine. I wish we had trusted her instincts because she was severely sick the next day. I saw that there were positive reviews for this place and maybe this was a bad night, but we can no longer trust this place.

absolutely the worst experience ive ever had. the food not only came late but came with fries which are NOT gluten free because they are fried with flour-coated items. and the replacement food came late too with the inside of the burger being rather cold. and, despite not having any sort of bun on the burger, i still got contaminated and suffered the consequences. i do not recommend this place at all.

I’ve eaten here safely. The gf options are not that many, but they are good. For me it is a reliable place. The servers are well informed, in my experience - tho I am always careful to go at quieter times so that they have time to prepare my food safely.

I have been at many different Cheesecake Factory establishments. I give this 3 stars. I got the sausage, broccoli, mushrooms in a white sauce with GF pasta. I had no ill effects but it was very bland tasting. I added parmesan cheese to give it some flavor. I usually get the shepherds pie which is always good. Can't go wrong with their Godiva cheesecake or the low cal cheesecake with strawberries.
