We only bought cheesecake but their gluten free Godiva cheesecake was fabulous.
Cheesecake Factory is a good option if you have a big group with lots of opinions. They have specific kitchen protocols for gluten free (tell them it’s an allergy) including a physical checklist for the staff. That’s something I’ve never seen before- awesome! I attached a picture of the precautions below.
The staff doubled checked all my question. Very happy
Notes
The Cheesecake Factory has an extensive gluten free menu. Gluten free options include pasta, burgers (with buns), and cheesecake for dessert.

My fiancée loved their gluten free menu options and greatly enjoyed the pasta she got. We didn’t catch our waitress’ name, but she told us she also suffers from gluten intolerance, so we felt like we were in safe hands. My fiancée forgot to ask for no croutons on her salad, but our waitress made sure there were none on there anyway. Absolutely fantastic experience
Plenty of gf meal options, and they have gluten free cheesecake. I typically get the Godiva chocolate gluten free. The other option is the skinny-licious, made with Splenda. I wish they had a plain gf cheesecake without synthetic sweeteners.
I’ve eaten here twice in the last year and haven’t gotten sick. I get a salad and fries — Yep, they have a dedicated gf fryer for fries. I can’t speak to the pasta or the burgers but they do have those options. I will say the gf chocolate cheesecake is BOMB! Overall, this is a chain and there’s way better options in the area, but if you’re dead-set on the Cheesecake Factory experience, it’s fine. Just be sure to verify with your server and self-advocate. And prepare yourself emotionally for the tantalizing bread smells, because you can’t eat it and that’s depressing.
Food tasted great but took forever. I ordered the four-cheese pasta with chicken right away, and the only thing that should have taken extra time was making the pasta GF - but it was at least a 30 minute wait. The kitchen also forgot to put chicken on the pasta, which was an extra 5 minutes. The waiter was good, the food was good, but the kitchen’s speed was not. Waiter checked to make sure a smoothie was gf for us before we ordered and confirmed we needed gluten free food. Look for the corkscrew pasta to be sure it’s GF.
It was easy to order gluten free but I found a bean in my pasta. The manager was sent over given the concern about cross contamination and he laughed it off and said I would be fine.
