Does IHOP have a gluten free menu?
IHOP has recently started serving gluten free pancakes, waffles, and burgers with gluten free buns. The food was perfectly tasty. While there aren’t a huge number of gluten-free options, since they only offer plain waffles and pancakes without gluten, what they do have is still very good, and I was definitely safe.

Is IHOP a good place to eat?
Ihop is garbage along with dennys and village inn. There is usually other options for food unless you just have to eat at 3 am and are unable to cook your own food. It’s basically just a homogenized mediocre version of the local diner you almost certainly have in your town. Kinda like a Denny’s.
Does the restaurant offer a gluten free menu?
You can actually eat gluten-free at fast-food restaurants and chain restaurants—if you know what to order. Eating gluten-free involves more than just avoiding items on the menu that have bread. You'll also want to look out for things made with malt vinegar, or heavy sauces where flour might be used as a thickening ingredient.
