The Cheesecake Factory offers an impressive selection of gluten-free menu items—think pastas, burgers, and even a decadent Godiva chocolate cheesecake—but, honestly, the experience can be a bit nerve-wracking for those of us with celiac disease. The kitchen isn’t dedicated gluten-free, and multiple reports highlight a real risk of cross-contact (shared fryers, pasta water mishaps, and even breadcrumbs in mayo). Some staff show genuine care and will flag your needs with the kitchen, but there’s no consistent protocol or written assurance to lean on—so it’s a gamble every time. If you’re highly sensitive or have celiac, you’ll want to weigh the risks carefully before tucking in to that tempting slice of cheesecake.
