IHOP

I tried our local IHOP today and will likely not be going back simply because they don't offer much of anything that is gluten-free. The staff was very kind when I explained my gluten allergy, and didn't mind me asking to have staff clean prep areas, change gloves, etc.I asked to speak to the manager before ordering to make sure my food would be cooked properly. Although he was very kind, it was obvious he didn't know what gluten was,or the items it was in. IHOP does not offer a gluten-free menu, but they do give you an allergy guide to read over before ordering. The only things safe for breakfast on their menu were eggs, bacon, and fresh fruit. When I ordered, I made sure they would clean the prep areas and all before handling my food, and asked then to leave out any flour or mix from my eggs, as I wanted egg whites only and wanted to make sure they were gluten-free. When they brought out my food, they messed up my order and gave me regular eggs instead of only whites (not a big deal). They changed it and brought out fresh eggs for me. The bacon and eggs were good, but the fruit was old and not good. Based on the lack of menu options, I don't think I'll be going back anytime soon. The staff was kind, but not knowledgable when it came to food allergies. The items I ordered didn't make me sick.

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.
