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.

There were pieces of wheat pasta in my gluten free pasta dish. I made it very clear I had an allergy and waiter said it would be 100% safe. Got very sick. Skip this place.

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!

I had a very good experience with the Cheesecake Factory. Our staff was knowledgeable and I didn’t have any reactions after eating here. Their menu was well marked and they even had a GF cheesecake. I didn’t ask about cross contamination as it usually isn’t a huge deal for me but I was pleased with this experience

Very impressed. The waitress asked if it was a wheat allergy and then alerted the chef and said he would change gloves. Fries were made in a separate fryer and they have many gf meals.
