The Cheesecake Factory

The food was atrocious, and I definitely got glutened here. Highly do NOT recommend. Don't make the same mistake I did.

Gluten free options are limited for such a large menu. I ordered a pasta that I’m 99% sure was the regular pasta. We double checked with our server and he confirmed it was gf. Sadly, I had a headache, itchy palms, and bloat by the time I left. Good thing I only have an allergy and am not celiac.

Celiac friendly?

No

I have eaten pasta at other locations and it was fine but here I found a regular spaghetti noodle in my bowl about halfway through.

Celiac friendly?

No

Very lousy service for a Cheesecake Factory. Waited 30 minutes just for our drinks to arrive. My daughter always likes their food and never has any reactions to it. Godiva cheesecake is always a treat.

Staff not trained well on gluten free food and when asked what wasn't gluten free in a salad the reply was I have no idea. Not something any celiac really wants to hear and had to ask multiple times for the food we ordered to be gluten free.

Every Cross Contamination Everywhere

Celiac friendly?

No

Severe difficulty getting food that didn't make me sick here. chefs don't seem to care much about the gluten free crowd, despite saying they can work with food issues.

They have a lot of GF options and are well informed on the issues of cross contamination, yet every time I eat there I still get some cross over. Only go if you have a mild intolerance. Not celiac friendly, their kitchen is just too crazy to be perfect. There GF burgers are really good though... May have to suffer an outbreak for it.

Celiac friendly?

No

Do NOT eat at this CCF if you must be gf! My server seemed ticked that I would ask for gf. I am now violently ill.. I know what cross contamination feels like, and this isn't it. I honestly believe I was served non gf pasta, even though the person who brought it out told me it was gf. Lesson learned the hard way. :-(

Very nice gluten free menu - lots of options

been here multiple times. almost inevitably served gluten by accident or given the most tasteless dry chicken and plain rice as my "only option"

I work at a different Cheesecake Factory so this one might be slightly different. However, I see the most horrible things happen with "gluten free food". I came here cause of a friends birthday choice and ate grilled salmon, which I never have a problem with. But stay away from the pasta and salad dressings. I have found pasta in my eggs, and gluten free pasta. The salad dressings get mixed up all the time. Stick with grilled food!!!

No

Great gluten free menu. pasta was good & tender. would be nice to have more than one cheesecake option but the one they have is very good.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I recently revisited this location (after being turned away a few years ago) and I am sooo glad I did! They have a new multi-page gluten free menu!! Wow! The food was great. I had a burger with a gf bun, seemed like an udis bun, and French fries. Will be back again soon.

Yes

I read a lot of bad reviews about gluten items showing in “gluten free” entrees, so I sent an email to the corporate office. I received a call from their representative on September 10, 2013 stating they now have a menu dedicated for those who are gluten free. First let me say that they have a separate area in the kitchen with designated utensils for gluten free items, this will cut down on cross contamination. The representative relayed that they try to prepare gluten free items first. This is a new program, about a week old from this review. My family and I have eaten there two times since my conversation and have been satisfied both times. The only problem would be the noodles at this time, some was too hard while other entrees where too soft. They have gluten free bread, for those who want an actual hamburger/turkey burger/mushroom burger/eggplant burger (yes many choices). Like all restaurants the waiter can make the experience great or just average, which is why I won’t deduct my rating for an establishment because of one waitress. They also have desserts that are consumable for those with gluten intolerance/Celiac. Another feature my wife and I like is the fact they state that some items may contain has much as 20ppm. Finally the prices, there is NO added surcharge for wanting gluten free items; the price remains the same, minus the bread that is given complimentary in the beginning of the meal for those who can consume gluten. For those who miss eating Cheesecake Factory I highly recommend revisiting now they are serving gluten free items.

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 :(

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.
