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.

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.
