The Cheesecake Factory

ordered the four cheese pasta gluten free, plenty of the menu can be gluten free upon request so I had tons of options! Waiter understood my request and I wasn’t glutened.

One of the best places to get gf options. The menu is huge and they have good gluten free pasta. I’ve had items modified too to be made gluten free. Never had any problems. Plus the gf cheesecake is great.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I ordered some Mexican lettuce chicken wraps. I was given plain chicken and lettuce. Its as horrible as it sounds. I had to send it back to get all the other gluten free toppings.

I'm truly excited how many GF options are offered on the menu and the quality of their bar staff during lunch time. Also, the rice noodles are actually made with rice flour so I was able to order the Chicken Lettuce Asian Tacos without modifications; that made my heart so happy.

I debated about eating at the bar because bartenders sometimes get annoyed about food allergies. With a long wait for a table, we decided to give it a try. The bartender was AWESOME! He pressed all of the food allergy buttons when he put my order in and then, went to the kitchen to discuss my allergies with the chef.

Good gf menu but when I asked about gf and dairy free dressing options she changed her mind twice.. It almost led to a mixup and then she asked how serious my allergy was because she didn't want me to faint. More training is needed.

They just debuted the GF menu at some of the Cheesecake Factory restaurants. The Tysons location has the menu, and it is a great menu -- lots of options, even pasta (they have GF fusili). However, I would definitely exercise caution here. I ordered Evelyn's pasta with the GF fusili and found a piece of regular pasta mixed in my dish. They clearly do not have their act together on cross-contamination and safety issues for those who need to be GF.

Only had cheesecake but didn't get sick. Would recommend calling and asking questions

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.

Glutenized.. sick for days.

Although the waiter confirmed gluten free for my salad, it had to have been cross contaminated

I’ve been coming here frequently the last few months and I can say honestly if you’re super sensitive to gluten or allergic to it, I don’t recommend this location at all. I always make sure to tell my server I have a gluten allergy and it’s always hit or miss whether they take that seriously.

When they do, the food is amazing and they are super accommodating, giving me gluten free rolls instead of the free bread they usually serve and having my food prepared in the allergy section of the kitchen. A manager also took my order and verified with the chefs to make sure nothing would be a problem.

Unfortunately this level of care isn’t guaranteed and recently I’ve been getting really sick from the food, so I had to stop going altogether. It’s not worth the risk! The last time I went my food didn’t come with the allergy indicators they usually stick in it and I didn’t say anything because I thought the staff knew what they were doing. I got so violently sick after, I stayed up all night and had to call out of work the next day.

I feel bad complaining because the staff are usually so friendly and nice, but this really affected my health. I think people should know that they often make mistakes with the gluten free food, even with specifying an allergy :(
