The Cheesecake Factory features a broad menu that includes many gluten-free options. However, there are certain things to keep in mind when choosing gluten-free options from their menu.

Having said that, they have many items on their menu that are marked gluten-free, and they also offer gluten-free alternatives for some main dishes. For instance, they should have gluten-free buns and gluten-free pasta upon request.
When dining at the Cheesecake Factory, I recommend checking the menu and informing your server if you want to eat gluten-free since service may vary by location.
It's also important to keep in mind that some items may be marked gluten-free, but cross-contamination is possible due to the shared preparation environment in their kitchens.
If you're interested in learning all there is to the Cheesecake Factory gluten-free menu, keep reading this article. I'll share all their current GF items and also answer your most frequently asked questions.

Items With Gluten But No Wheat
The Cheesecake Factory tracks wheat and gluten separately, and a few items contain gluten without containing wheat - usually from barley or malt. If you only check a wheat column these look fine, so they are worth knowing:
- Crispy Brussels Sprouts
- Street Corn
- Buffalo Wings - Serves 2-4
- Lunch Miso Salmon
- Plantains (PR)
- Caramel Royale Macchiato
- Factory Hot Chocolate
