The Cheesecake Factory

I knew the risks going in, but I had a coupon for a free slice of cheesecake. I got the "gluten-free" Godiva flourless cheesecake. I don't know if they cut the slice with the same server as was used for cutting regular cheesecakes but I had a single bite (to test it out in case it was really contaminated) and I'm glad I stopped at one. It was delicious but I ended up getting ill not long later.

Celiac friendly?

No

I ordered pasta off of the gluten free menu and was given regular pasta

Celiac friendly?

No

All the salad dressings contain gluten, so unless you want to eat a dry salad, that's not an option. Waiter was very helpful and the staff was accommodating.

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

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.
