The Cheesecake Factory

Decent gluten-free options. I got the Americana burger with a gluten free bun. I imagine there’s a lot of cross-contamination, but for gluten sensitive folks, it should be okay. The gluten-free chocolate cheesecake is AMAZING!

I got only gluten free labeled items and told them about my allergy but felt immediately sick after. Definitely do not recommend for celiacs.

Originally I thought I was going to the Cheesecake Factory in Greenwood. They seem to have a higher celiac friendly percentage. Sadly this one does not. I was pleasantly surprised that the menu had so many options. I had shrimp with pasta. It was good. I did not get terribly sick from it, but I did have some tummy trouble later in the day (ate there for lunch). I feel like they would like to be celiac friendly, they may just not understand exactly HOW to do it. I do think they took extra precautions with my good.

The options are great, but it’s simply not a safe place for celiacs. If you’re just avoiding gluten and don’t have to be strict, then go for it, but our waitress assured us that it was not safe for celiacs.

Celiac friendly?

No

The staff seemed knowledgeable and were able to answer my questions about separate prep areas and safe handling of allergies. Unfortunately there was a non GF noodle mixed in with my GF pasta, which I did not find until the end. Not sure how it happened. The manager was very concerned and helpful with the situation, but the damage was done and I was sick for days after. Celiac diners beware.

Celiac friendly?

No

Really? I find it hard to believe anyone had a decent experience at the fashion mall Indianapolis location. When discussion gf needs due to celiac, the waitress told me there was absolutely nothing I could eat there safely. I was a bit embarrassed since I was with a group so I just asked for some type of fruit in a bowl. She returned to tell me they weren't comfortable serving me as "there was flour all over back there". I was mortified, felt like they were saying "my kind weren't welcome there". I wanted to crawl out. Not to mention that was another gift card I had to give away.

Celiac friendly?

No

We ate here this weekend, I have gluten and MSG allergies. Waitress was very knowledgeable on both and made sure I felt safe eating.

Gluten free bun tastes great! Fluffy :) fries were good too. Lots of other GF options.

My daughter who has celiac told the waiter that she had a gluten allergy and would get very sick if he did not put the order in as gluten free. Waited over an hour for our food. The pasta she got looked gluten free but after 3 bites, she said it did not taste good. Within 15 minutes, she was sick in the bathroom. Told the waiter - did not seem to be concerned. Asked him to take the dish off of our bill and that did not seem to concern him either. Overall, do not eat here if you want gluten free food.

I let the server know I was gluten free - coeliac multiple times so she would get my order right and I confirmed with her again before my meals came out and she still gave me the gluten cheesecake instead of the gluten free one

I went here and ordered a gluten free burger and bun. The food came with a gluten bun. I sent it back as I noticed it wasn’t gluten free. I woke up sick as a dog for two days. If you’re sensitive don’t eat here. Even after the gluten free bun change I still got sick.

Was not bad but experience varies by server. We came twice as staying nearby... only on the 2nd visit did our server correct the misinformation from the first server.

There is NO dedicated fryer... it is shared oil. A lot of the staff are unclear of the difference
