Staff was great; too bad the food is not at all something that will make you go back… there is cheesecake factory in Hackensack NJ… what a major difference… go there and you will remember this review…
The staff was great. And everything I received was gf! Even the cheesecake on the gf menu.
Last time I went they were so uneducated (even the chef who came out and thought rice was "made of wheat") it was scary. They keep saying they are coming out with a GF menu but it hasn't happened so I haven't been back. One of the cheesecakes (Godiva) is naturally GF though.

Definitely has cross contamination! Ate off of the "gluten free menu" and got horribly sick immediately after. Bummed.
I was shocked to find a big chain like The Cheesecake Factory fail GF 101. They do not have a dedicated fryer and yet consistently list French fries on their new gluten free menu - seriously? Such a simple mistake does not lend any confidence that this restaurant understands what being gluten free means or how gluten free food needs to be prepared. Too bad.

They’re menu has gluten free dishes marked. I ordered a gluten free pasta dish and it arrived with gluten spaghetti noodles cooked in the same dish..
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.
We had what we thought was a lovely dinner but we were glutened and got soooo sick. Do not recommend eating here. We are pretty sure it was the fries, even though our waiter assured us they would be in a separate fryer.
Server was helpful in pointing out the GF options for me. And some dairy free options for me partner. Ended up ordering the tomato basil pasta with gf pasta.
