I wouldn’t recommend this if you are celiac. They have “gluten friendly” pancakes labeled on the menu but they are cooked on the same grill as everything else, so cross contamination will get ya. My family and I asked if they have any other ways to cook the pancakes and they said no, just the one cooktop. Oh, and they out their pancake batter in the omelets, so those aren’t safe either. I had no idea they did that. I had a milkshake.
IHOP has recently started serving gluten-free pancakes, waffles, and burgers with gluten-free buns.
Sever always asks me if it’s a preference or allergy. I’ve gone a few times and not gotten sick yet. When I asked why the omelets weren’t gluten free I learned they put pancake batter in them to make them fluffy and if I asked for straight egg with no batter I could get an omelette!
I used to love their gf waffles, but they discontinued them!!! Now, I just eat their gf pancakes- which are pretty good- ,but they’re not waffles ✋. I boycotted ihop for a while to be honest lol… I also have a dairy sensitivity, but they’ll still bring out my pancakes with the butter on top sometimes :/.
We ordered gluten-free pancakes with our celiac daughter's kid meal. Not sure what systems they have in place, but she didn't get sick from cross-contamination and she devoured her pancake! Service was great! Server even went back to kitchen to ensure they kitchen knew it needed to be gluten free.
