Super fun little knick knacky spot. Kind of feels like you're in an 80's sitcom hangout. The ladies are very sweet! The food was quite good, including a gluten-free selection. If I lived a little closer I would be a regular- but instead I'll be an occasional visitor. Either way, I'll definitely be back!

Website advertises gluten free options. However, server didn't know what gluten was (she thought corn tortillas contained gluten) and refused to ask kitchen if menu items had gluten or could be modified. She threw up her hands and said "well I don't know". I went with gf pancakes to be safe as they were the only thing clearly marked. They were decent and the bloody Mary was pretty good. Overall nothing to write home about but not bad. My suggestion to management would be if you're going to advertise about having gf options please educate your staff on what those options are.

They have Gluten Free pizza dough, made from rice and potato starch, and you can get the 12" pizzas GF for an extra $4 (so about $30). The pizzas are piled and very filling and enjoyable. We started with an antipasto salad (wonderful) and two GF pizzas, it was way more food than we expected. If you have Celiac, ask for the manager and they'll make double sure that your GF pizzas are cooked on a separate liner and cut with a separate slicer. Would definitely come again.

IHOP, despite being short-staffed with just one server and one cook during my visit, managed to deliver a satisfying meal. The wait for food and service was longer than usual, but the quality and taste of the dishes were commendable. Particularly impressive are their gluten-free options, which are delicious and cater well to those with dietary restrictions. Additionally, IHOP remains an affordable option for those looking for a good meal without breaking the bank. If you're not in a rush and looking for tasty, budget-friendly dining, IHOP is worth the visit.
