Is IHOP Safe for Celiac Disease?

Based on community reports, IHOP does not operate a dedicated gluten-free facility and is a chain with inherent cross-contact risks. While some staff are accommodating and offer marked gluten-free items, the lack of a dedicated kitchen or fryer increases the risk of cross-contamination, making it generally unsafe for strict celiac diners.
