They no longer offer a gluten free menu. They don’t offer even one gf salad. The only options I had were bacon & sausage or a gf waffle which are disgusting & the meat options will make me sick without anything else else on my stomach due to the grease. Even the eggs aren’t gluten friendly, I don’t understand how that’s even possible. So with that being said after a half hour wait I now am waiting 20 minutes thus far for everyone’s food to be made then and we will have to go find me something to eat elsewhere. The staff acted as if they had never even heard of a gluten allergy which makes the “options” they have a massive risk even if I could eat them.

This was our first family IHOP experience in multiple years thanks to them finally offering GF pancakes. How exciting! Kids and I ordered pancakes, bacon, eggs, and hash browns. All were delish! Called ahead and spoke with the manager who confirmed the GF pancake batter is also NF for our additional allergy in our family. Our server was delightful and was happy to ask the cook to scrape the flattop before cooking our GF pancakes. Will DEFINITELY head back to this location the next time we’re in Galveston! In the meantime, we’ll now try the IHOPs closer to home more regularly knowing they offer GF.

I wasn't hungry when my husband wanted to go to breakfast, so I was game for IHOP as I was just going to get a drink, but then I saw the golden words "Gluten Sensitive Pancakes"!!! For $6.99 I got a stack of 2 delicious pancakes and chose the blueberry syrup. We got there just as they opened so I had no worries about cross-contact, crossed my fingers and prayed to the GF God's! The lady was so sweet, I wish I caught her name!

I have eaten here four times and have not been glutened. They offer a selection of GF sides (pure fried Eggs, Bacon, sausage Links etc ) and a stack (of 4 or 2) GF pancakes. Waitress was knowledgable on which Pancake toppings were gluten friendly - I stuck with old fashioned syrup.

This is a good branch of ihop - more confident here than other local Branches.
