IHOP

I’ve eaten here twice. The first time I was gluten so badly I was sick for a week. It was evident that the wait staff had not been trained. Then, stupidly, I went back and this time asked for the manager (hoping they’d know better). I asked for a side of corn tortillas and the manager sent out FLOUR. Needless to say I got incredibly sick (even not eating the tortillas or the food touching). It was a mistake and I would not recommend this to ANY celiac

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.

Surprised by how many GF options there are. Waitress was extremely knowledgeable and gave suggestions for food even at other restaurants (like asking for shelled eggs because some prepped eggs could be cross contaminated). Very good experience and will be back for the GF pancakes - they’re delicious

We went here for a late breakfast on Saturday and we were surprised they had gluten free options marked on the menu. My wife got waffles, sausage and hash browns. The waffles were really good and she had no issues afterwards.
