Four Cheese Pasta
The four cheese gluten-free pasta is cheesy, hearty, and filling.
Each penne pasta is coated inside and out with a delicious bright red marinara sauce and seasoned well with salt, pepper, and basil.
There are four kinds of cheese: mozzarella, ricotta, romano, and parmesan. Each one complements the sauce amazingly, and each one adds a depth of flavor to the dish.
The mozzarella and ricotta are served in the middle of the dish, while the romano and parmesan are incorporated into the sauces themselves.
Every bite is satisfyingly saucy, and I couldn’t get enough of this one. If you’re a pasta lover and gluten-free, this dish was made specifically for you.
Greek Salad
This salad combines a plethora of fresh flavors with the sourness of pungent olives and vinaigrette in a spectacle of delicious textures.
The Greek salad comes complete with feta cheese, tomato, kalamata olives, red onion, and a vinaigrette for dressing.
The saltiness of the feta cheese works well with the firm bite of vinaigrette, while the sweetness of the tomatoes and cucumber mellow out the sourness.
The underhanded crunch of the onion also adds a harshness that doesn’t overpower everything else.
There’s a reason you’ll find the Greek salad on any menu that is involved with salads; it’s an extremely popular and tasty salad, and if you haven’t tried it before, you’re missing out. It’s also one of the healthiest items at The Cheesecake Factory!
Baked Potato Soup
If you’re lucky enough to arrive at the Cheesecake Factory on a day when the soup of the day is loaded baked potato soup (Sunday), then you’re in luck because this hearty soup is brimming with hot, starchy tang.
It’s a creamy white soup that envelopes the tongue with potatoey goodness.
Each bowl is loaded with a rich cream broth, chunks of soft potatoes, and bits of savory bacon. It’s topped with a generous handful of cheddar cheese, pepper, and chives.
Don’t let the simplicity of the potato fool you because this soup is anything but simple.
Each component works with everything else to create a complex, loaded taste in each bite, and I can assure you that you’ll be back for this soup.
Evelyn’s Favorite Pasta
Evelyn’s favorite pasta is a veggie-dense gluten-free option at the Cheesecake Factory.
It comes complete with spaghetti tossed with sauteed zucchini, broccoli, tomato, eggplant, garlic, olives, and peppers.
Everything is brought together by fresh herbs and a delicious green pesto that lightly coats the vegetables and the pasta.
It’s almost like a fusion of Italian and Mediterranean flavors, which fuse elegantly to create this gluten-free pasta entree.
It’s very savory and hearty, despite the fact that there is no meat in the dish. It’s one of their most popular vegan dishes!
I’m not quite sure who Evelyn is, but I can say one thing, and it’s that she has excellent taste.
Fire-Roasted Fresh Artichoke
The Cheesecake Factory’s fire-roasted fresh artichokes is a seasonal dish that comes with three charred artichokes and a delectable garlic dip.
The artichokes on their own offer a fantastic savory flavor, but the sauce elevates them even further and really brings out the flavors of the charry greens.
This dish is typically served as an appetizer, but I’m not against ordering two or three of these on their own and eating them as my main entree.
And for those of you who are deterred by eating vegetables, I can assure you that this one will transcend your expectations and make you want even more.
Beets with Goat Cheese
The roasted beet and goat cheese salad is another unique yet great-tasting salad that’ll clear your palate and make you feel better about eating.
The tartness of the beats is further enriched by the creamy, salty goat cheese, which adds a certain zest.
It’s almost like cream cheese, except that it has a depth of richness that goes even further.
This option might sound a bit weird to some people, but I can almost guarantee that you’ll be hooked after just one bite.
Fresh Grilled Salmon
Ah, salmon, can you ever really go wrong with it? Well, at least you can’t at the Cheesecake Factory.
It’s steaky, well-seasoned, and far from fishy. It has a few char marks to indicate grilling and comes with some nice roasted veggies and mashed potatoes.
Salmon is personally my favorite type of fish to eat, so you can guess that I get it whenever I go out to eat.
This was one of the first things I tried, and it would be my favorite item on the whole menu if it weren’t for the herb-crusted salmon.
It’s another healthy yet fulfilling meal fit for anyone who is watching calories but wants to feel full.
Mexican Chicken and Vegetables Soup
If you’re looking for a bit of Mexican flare in your soup, then I’d recommend the Mexican chicken and vegetable soup.

It’s a nourishing soup complete with delicious shredded chicken, corn, tomatoes, onions, carrots, tortilla chips, and cheese.
The veggies and chicken make it feel like a whole meal, while the Monterey jack cheese adds richness to every sip you take.
As for me, I enjoyed the crispy chips on top as they added a satisfying crunch to each bite. Most tortilla chips are gluten free, but ask your server to be sure.
Cobb Salad
The cobb salad has everything one could want in a salad: avocados, blue cheese, and bacon.
These alone could make a delicious meal, but you get a dish full of unforgettable flavors and textures when you add the lettuce, tomato, boiled egg, chicken, and vinaigrette.
It’s soft but without losing crunchiness. Furthermore, the avocados give it a buttery texture that melts in your mouth, and the vinaigrette really melds everything together.
This dish is packed with protein and nutrients, all while being somewhat calorie friendly and tasting amazing.
Sweet Corn Tamale Cakes
The Cheesecake Factory’s sweet corn tamale cakes are made of cornmeal cakes topped with pico de gallo, tangy southwestern sauce, and salsa verde.
Each bite blows up in your mouth with a fresh, savor flavor bomb.
The salsa is slightly spicy but not overwhelmingly so. It’s a slight heat, but most people will be able to handle it.
The corn cake will also help to quell this spice with its bready sweetness that solidifies itself as the heart of the dish.
What I like best about the tamale cakes is actually the southwestern sauce they use, which adds a peppery, smokey flavor on top of everything else.
If you’re not going for the fire-roasted artichoke appetizer, then you should definitely go for this one.
Old Fashioned Burger with Gluten-Free Bun
The old-fashioned burger comes with a meaty beef patty, tomatoes, lettuce, mayonnaise, onion, and pickle, all served on a gluten-free bun (be sure to ask your server for the gluten-free bun).
The freshness of the vegetables on top of the patty brings out the beef flavor, and the mayo adds a bit of lovely sauciness.
And, of course, if you like ketchup or cheese on your burger, be sure to add them as well because they’ll elevate your dining experience even further.
As for the bun, since it’s gluten-free, it isn’t quite as good as the regular brioche bun, but it’s still a great option if you can only eat gluten-free goods.
Herb Crusted Filet of Salmon
The herb-crusted filet of salmon is a delicious combination of herb-crusted salmon, mashed potatoes, asparagus, and a creamy white sauce.
Individually, each component is tasty, but when you begin to cut into the dish and combine the flavors, the meal becomes something else entirely.
I quite enjoyed how the herbs imparted a liveliness to the salmon while keeping the inside moist and juicy.
The potatoes also absorb the juices from the salmon and sauce beneath, taking them to the next level.
Overall, the herb-crusted filet of salmon is my favorite item on the menu, and I recommend trying this to everyone.
Pasta Carbonara
The pasta carbonara is a lovely gluten-free spaghetti smothered in a garlicky, parmesan cream sauce. It’s tossed in with peas, bacon, herbs, and pepper as well.
The sauce is flavorful, but it isn’t too strong either. In my opinion, it’s just right, and I think the saltiness of the bacon and the sweetness of the peas balance everything out.
If veggie-heavy pasta such as Evelyn’s favorite isn’t your thing, you’ll probably like the carbonara pasta.
Also, with this one, don’t be afraid to ask for extra cheese and extra bacon to make it even better.
Miso Salmon
The miso salmon is an Asian-style salmon marinated in delicious soy, and miso marinade served atop a bed of rice and sauce. It comes with decorative snap peas and sprigs of chives.
The earthy flavor of miso pairs elegantly with the light meatiness of salmon, and the sauce that envelopes everything is to die for.
It’s a savory, lightly sweet, and mouthwatering bite and good for a hefty lunch or a late-night dinner.
I don’t really see people opting for this dish too often which is a shame because it’s definitely underrated.
Arugula Salad
Next up is the simple arugula salad. It’s not the most robust, complex dish on the menu, but it’s perfectly suitable for a side or pre-meal salad.
It comes with a small plate of arugula lettuce, parmesan cheese, sliced nuts, and a dressing made of olive oil and lemon.
The sauce’s acidity helps calm the arugula’s bitterness, while the cheese and nuts give it flavor and texture.
The arugula salad is a nice palette cleanser in between the bites of your main meal or can be a low-calorie prelude to your entree.
Mushroom Burger with Gluten-Free Bun
I’ve decided to end the list with one of my favorites, the mushroom burger with a gluten-free bun.
It is yet another classic burger; I love the combination of earthy mushrooms, cheese, and the thick beefy patty.
They work together seamlessly to perform a savory dance around the mouth. The burger always comes highly juicy, and the leftover mushrooms are perfect for a nice snack afterward.
I’d also like to add that they really pile the mushrooms on the burger, so if you’re a fan of mushrooms, then you’re going to want to check this one out.
Caesar Salad
One of the safest, low-calorie foods that are gluten-free at the Cheesecake Factory is the caesar salad.
This tangy salad is complete with iceberg lettuce, croutons, slices of parmesan cheese, specialty caesar dressing, and grilled chicken. You’ll need to omit the croutons for it to be gluten-free, however
I like the textures in this one; you’ve got the light snap of lettuce, soft cheese, and meaty grilled chicken.
All these ingredients are brought together by a peppery Caesar dressing that invigorates the taste buds and leaves a pleasant aftertaste.
The grilled chicken completes this meal, making it a somewhat filling entree, and overall the dish is a great healthy and gluten-free option.
In my experience, I found the Cheesecake Factory’s gluten-free menu all-encompassing and delicious. People who are on a gluten-free diet or are unable to eat gluten as a result of an allergy certainly won’t be left out here.
Cheesecake Factory has an extensive menu, and luckily there are plenty of dishes to accommodate a variety of diets.
All in all, if you’re gluten-free and need an excellent place to eat, then I recommend heading towards your nearest Cheesecake Factory for your next dinner outing. And if you happened to have heard rumors of it closing, you can put your mind at ease as Cheesecake Factory is here to stay.
I’m gluten intolerant, and never had a problem with their nachos.
Luckily for me foods fried in the same fryer with fries or tortilla chips don’t bother me.
