Had a burger with salad. Server was very knowledgeable about what needed to be substituted to make the meal safe and made sure he checked everything before putting the order in (e.g. fries not safe due to fryer). Was very impressed. Edit: ordered a cheesecake slice to go, the one in the display case for was contaminated so I asked for a fresh slice from the back which they happily accommodated.

They can bring out a toasted GF bun instead of bread, which is nice. I had a GF pasta dish. I did not have any flourless cheesecake. I had a very bad reaction, was throwing up all night long. I haven’t had a bad reaction at other cheesecake factories, and I don’t know what this place did to gluten poison me. I probably won’t be back to any cheesecake factory.

Celiac friendly?

No

The Cheesecake Factory has many gluten free options. With that being said, it's really not the safest place to eat so proceed with caution. I'm writing this review to inform the gluten sensitive or those with celiac that even though they say they have a separate fryer and that you can eat french fries safely, that's not always the case. My daughter and I both dealt with cross contamination there when we ordered gluten free french fries. I later found out at another Cheesecake Factory, that it's common practice for the cooks to use that "other fryer" when they feel the need to. So that explained things for me. I thought the waitress was just being lazy and gave me fries that were fried in the common fryer. So please be careful. Also, don't order the gluten free cheesecake. It is with all the other cheesecakes and I got sick from that on another occasion. Moral of the story, I think you can order a few things here that are safe but you are gambling. It's just not worth it for me.

Celiac friendly?

No

I have been at many different Cheesecake Factory establishments. I give this 3 stars. I got the sausage, broccoli, mushrooms in a white sauce with GF pasta. I had no ill effects but it was very bland tasting. I added parmesan cheese to give it some flavor. I usually get the shepherds pie which is always good. Can't go wrong with their Godiva cheesecake or the low cal cheesecake with strawberries.

I had the shepherd’s pie and it was flavorful and delicious! Our waiter seemed very knowledgeable about gluten allergies and celiac and made suggestions about GF menu items. I had the gluten-free cheesecake with fresh strawberries for dessert, and it was also delicious! I felt safe eating here, and will be back.

Absolutely stomach blowing!

The staff not only uses separate equipment to prevent cross contamination, they change their very clothes! I was so pleased and surprised to say the least.

Also, so much of the menu is gf! I got the mashed potato omelette with fries and home fries, so delicious.

The portion sizes are enormous too, I got two full delicious meals out one!!!

Highly recommend, a bit pricy but absolutely worth it.

Have been eating here with family since I was a kid and have never had an issue with eating gluten free. They have a gf menu and staff is very knowledgeable. They have gf pasta, buns, and many more options. It is a busy chain, so there's always some risk but based off my experience this is a reliable option.
