Very excited to have a new "safe" chain restaurant to eat at. They have GF items marked in their menu (including pasta dishes!). They have a safety protocol for ordering, they do GF button on the order plus handwriting a ticket that the manager oversees in the kitchen. I had the steak Diane and substituted french fries for mashed potatoes since they have a dedicated fryer too. Delish! 🥰
My son was so excited to have so many options. He decided on a cheeseburger on a Gluten Free roll, French fries and Godiva GF cheesecake.
Order their strawberry lemonade ( it’s extremely sweet if that’s your thing). I got the fish tacos * these are only GF if you remove the chipotle mayo. There are 4 tacos with the order and they are on the spicy side!! These were very good and served with perfectly cooked rice and some Smokey black beans! I finished up with their Godiva chocolate cheesecake and the lowlicious cheesecake. These were both so good and rich that I had to take them to go! So worth it. The server Kirsten was fabulous and knew how to accommodate GF even down to the sauces.
I ordered a Cesar salad with no croutons and told them I had a gluten “allergy”. It came out with small pieces of croutons hidden throughout the salad. My husband verified that they were definitely croutons. I sent it back and they brought another one that had croutons too, along with a random piece of mandarin orange and a couple chopped nuts. 😑 She was going to bring another one and I said no. Definitely A LOT of cross contamination.
I had a really disappointing experience at Cheesecake Factory. When I informed my waitress about my celiac, she didn’t seem to know what it was, which is okay but gave me pause. After I explained and asked if she had any recommendations, she seemed very annoyed and just said they had “pages” of gluten-free options. That lack of awareness made me feel really unsafe, so I just had a cocktail and left. Definitely won’t be trying that again. If you have celiac or serious gluten sensitivities, I’d proceed with caution.
