The hostess said emphatically, "Yes! We can serve you safely!" But when it was time to order we learned that the "gluten friendly" pancakes are made in the same griddle as regular pancakes and grilled breads. Likewise the "gluten friendly" waffles are made in the same waffle maker as the regular waffles. The staff were kind and gracious, and re-opened a closed grill for our food. But we were there at a lull time so this was possible. Celiac's beware: this place is merely gluten aware and they have no mechanisms in place to prevent cross-contamination. Perhaps this is OK for some GF folks, but not safe enough for me.
No
IHOP has recently started serving gluten-free pancakes, waffles, and burgers with gluten-free buns.
I got contaminated badly there. I explained to the waitress and other employees that o had celiac and I still got badly sick. Don't eat there!

I have severe celiac reactions and didn’t get sick from ihop! GF pancakes were delicious! Staff was very knowledgeable and informed Me of any possible cross contamination.

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.
