The Cheesecake Factory

When I told the waiter I had a "gluten allergy" he just gave me a look. He then said that just means they will give me a flour tortilla and when i started to say something he corrected himself and said corn. Our food took an hour and a half to be served and both myself and the non-gf person I was with got sick the day after. Not sure if I got glutened or food poisoned but either way would not recommend.

Wish I had checked the reviews before going. It made me sick.

Celiac friendly?

No

Delicious Gluten free pasta!! And the Ghiradelli Choc cheesecake is GF!!!

I didn't realize the cheesecake would be gluten free which led to 5 hours of wrenching vomiting. :(

I have gotten sick each time after eating here

Cheesecake was surprisingly slow to come out with their GFree options. Finally they have a seperate menu. All of their menus are books so I still worry about education and cross-contamination with their cooks. I did have the lemon roasted chicken and it was delicious. Also had the Godiva Chocolate cheesecake - it was just ok.

The staff is uneducated, the choices are plain and cross-contamination rampant.

Celiac friendly?

No

I was worried about going here because a friend of mine said don't because you'll get sick. I changed my mind after the reviews here. So I went. There isn't a separate menu but items are marked GF. I ordered the Gf version of the ribeye steak. I told the waitress I had a gluten allergy. She then asked me if I wanted the fried onion rings. She clearly didn't understand what GF meant. And I was nervous but still ordered. Although she wrote it down I still received a dish that wasn't gf. I didn't realize it until half way through it. 2 days later I'm still feeling the effects. I will not return there

I have eaten here a few times and leave so full. The food here is delicious and they have many gluten free options.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I got the gf pasta cabornara and gf Godiva cheesecake. Both were amazing. I wish it wasn't always so crowded I would go there more.

Cheesecake Factory has a separate spiral bound gluten free menu. I almost always order their pear and endive salad. It's delicious. This past time I was craving pasta and thrived their Evelyn Pasta special. It was awful and lacked any flavor. Manager returned our money.

I went here and explained I had celiac saying that it is a severe gluten allergy. The pasta came out and had ~10 non gluten free pasta… unfortunately didn’t notice till after I ate some

I ordered the green salsa chicken enchiladas (they are made with corn tortillas), which came with a side of rice and beans. It was delicious!

Other Characteristics

• Good for dairy-free

I have several allergies including gluten. I am not Coeliac but very sensitive to gluten so this is not a gluten- free kitchen. The waitress was knowledgeable and ensured my burger was prepared separately. She went through all the ingredients and advised accordingly. It was a real treat as I struggled during my holiday with my food allergies.

Not many gluten free meal options and only 3 cheesecake options. Definitely not the safest option but very good if you are willing to risk it.
