The Cheesecake Factory

Came here for the first time since early 2020 last night and had an awesome experience! I ordered pasta and they informed me that they had a separate area in the kitchen where they’d prepare my food in new water to boil the pasta in! I didn’t get sick and the GF Godiva cheesecake was amazing!

Large selection of gluten-free meals. And their one gluten-free chocolate cheesecake is delicious! Our server was very knowledgeable about gluten free. It was a good experience for us.

I just became gluten-free, and it's been a hard adjustment. So naturally, I was scared eating out, as it's supposed to be a fun celebration, and not something to dread. When I called to see if they had a gf menu, they assured me that they absolutely did. When I went there, while the server didn't 100% know if items that weren't labeled gf were (they seemed to be), she checked with both the manager and the chef. Thank goodness that I don't have to loose one of my favorite restaurants. I had the chicken farfalle gf dish and fries for a snack, and didn't have any pain. While they only have one option for cheesecake, it was still good.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We explained my daughter was celiac and the waitress notified the chef who then supervised the preparation of her meal. My daughter is extremely sensitive to cross contamination and it’s been 24 hours and no signs of being sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I had the pasta for lunch yesterday. Server did not seem very concerned about the allergy. I have been very sick since last night. Do NOT eat here if you are celiac!

Celiac friendly?

No

Server didn’t seem to be overly concerned about my gluten free requirement. I’d ask for a manager if you want to eat here. I ordered an omelette and it arrived with potatoes on the plate, and we hadn’t discussed how they’re prepared. Server then explained but it would have been nice to know this before the food appeared in front of me. The good news is: no reaction but doubt I’ll go back here again.

had the 3 cheese gluten free pasta and was violently sick for 5 hours! clearly was not GF. Not worth the risk

Celiac friendly?

No

loved my burger and fries...then enjoyed Godiva cheesecake...it was wonderful

Celiac friendly?

Yes

large selection of gf options!

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.
