The Cheesecake Factory

*update* Since that great experience I have been back twice. The first time, the server told me that they could NOT cook the gf pasta in separate water so I had to get a bun less burger. Oh well.

The second time, I ordered the garlic pasta again and this time the server went and asked the chef if they could accommodate to prevent cc. He assured me they could. However, I had a reaction shortly thereafter. They just don’t seem consistent.

*original post* Had a great experience and the server was knowledgeable. She asked if it was an allergy or preference. When I told her, she said the cooks will change their gloves, etc. Items on menu are marked with gf options. I asked about the gf pasta and she said they will cook it in separate water from regular pasta.

Open patio or take out during covid, Really great service, waitress was amazing because she asked if it was an allergy and told me about how they would take extra care to handling my food. The four cheese gf pasta was creamy but just straight cheese, so yummy with chicken. Low-liciouse (basic or with strawberry’s) and Godiva (chocolate) are the two GF cheese cakes they have. YUM!

Small but varied selection of gluten free items manager at this one has made sure every cook understands and is trained properly on gf needs(manager also is gluten free) I got the shepherds pie and my wife got the 4 cheese pasta and both are great!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

$$ Delicious. Only one gluten free cheesecake--chocolate Godiva--very rich! Good for sharing. Can't eat it all in one sitting. There are a few gluten free pasta items. I have only tried the gluten free falle chicken roasted garlic but I liked it so much I keep ordering it. The dinner pasta (not lunch) is very large, enough for two people. I'd like to try the eggplant one though. As always, make sure to inform the staff if you have an allergy/celiac so that they can let the manager and chefs know. They are very good about handling it without creating a scene.

I had their low-licious gluten free cheesecake and it was pretty great! The crust wasn’t fantastic but the filling was AMAZING! Super tasty 😋

I went here on Black Friday and the restaurant is cute! Their menu was clearly labeled for what could be made gluten free. I told the waiter three times that I have a gluten allergy (I have celiac) and wanted a gluten free bun for my burger. He repeated the order back to me and told me the fries were in a designated frier. Unfortunately, the burger had a gluten bun. I took one bite and felt suspicious that it didn’t have a normal gluten-free bun texture, so I focused on my fries. When he came to clear the plates, he apologized for bringing me a gluten bun, but I had already taken a bite of it. They comped my burger, but I would not come back here. I made it very clear that I could not have gluten and they served me a bun with gluten. I was very bummed about this so I gave my GF cheesecake to my sister. I got sick that night. Disappointing :(

The first thing I told my server about was that I had celiacs disease and before I could explain anything she explained her sister also had celiac and she knew I couldn’t eat gluten. I explained to her about cross contamination and she assured me I would be great. I got nachos and she said they couldn’t put a kind of cheese on it and that they could only melt cheese. I was fine with it. Right after I ate them I felt sick. Come to find out, the chips are mixed with flour tortillas and corn tortillas. Please be careful if eating her.

Got the GF pasta with chicken and pancetta. Also got the Godiva cheesecake to go. The server wasn’t the most knowledgeable, but made an effort and checked with the kitchen.

They served bread on the table for the other guests.

The corn cakes are marked GF and looked really good but check they’re not fried.

Gluten free pasta is cooked in the same water as wheat pasta and they are unable (unwilling) to cook it separately.
