IHOP publishes an allergen tool that lists what each menu item declares across ten allergens, gluten included, plate by plate. This IHOP allergen menu turns that tool into one searchable page, covering breakfast, lunch, dinner, the kids’ plates and the drink list.
230 items across 21 menu sections appear here, spanning pancakes, omelettes, burgers, dinner entrees and the kids’ plates. Milk shows up on 161 of those items, more than any other allergen, and 40 list nothing at all. Sizes and Build Your Combo versions that declare the same allergens share one row.
The short answer
Milk, soy, wheat, egg and gluten run through most of the IHOP allergen menu. Fish and shellfish sit on a shorter list of six items each, with Clam Chowder Soup and Fisherman’s Platter on both. Sesame turns up on 18 items, mostly burgers, sandwiches and toast. Each row belongs to one item exactly as IHOP’s own allergen tool declares it, and nothing is inferred from an item’s name.

IHOP Allergen Menu Item by Item
Each row below names one item and the allergens it declares. Milk, soy, wheat, egg and gluten trail the batter through every pancake, crepe and omelette but one, and sesame sits on burgers, sandwiches and toast. Fish and shellfish sit on a handful of seafood dishes, led by Clam Chowder Soup and Fisherman’s Platter. Checking a dish against the listed price keeps the table and the order matched.

Dairy-Free Options at IHOP
69 of the 230 items on the IHOP allergen menu declare no milk, a little under a third of the board. Beverages supply 29 of them and sides another 18, mostly eggs, bacon, sausage, Grits and French Fries. Dinner adds seven entrees, from Grilled Chicken Dinner to Salmon, and three seafood platters.
The drink group covers coffee, espresso, hot tea, every juice, the lemonades and iced teas, and all three smoothies. Milk is declared on every pancake, crepe, waffle, French toast plate, burger, sandwich and kids’ plate on the table.
Ordering Gluten-Free at IHOP
IHOP’s allergen tool prints a gluten line of its own, so this section counts the items that declare no gluten. Of the 230 items on the IHOP allergen menu, 134 declare gluten, and each of those also declares wheat. The other 96, more than two fifths of the board, declare no gluten.
Beverages account for 51 of the 96, since not one drink declares gluten. Sides add 18, and Dinner Entrees add six: Grilled Chicken Dinner, Grilled Tilapia, Salmon, Sirloin Steak Tips, Smoked Sausage and T-Bone Steak (10 oz).
All three Salad and Soup entries, four syrups, three milkshakes and three appetizers also declare none. Eight single rows across the limited-time offers, breakfast combos, omelettes, value menu, 55+ menu and desserts make up the rest.
Every pancake, crepe, waffle, burger and sandwich on the IHOP allergen menu declares gluten. IHOP’s tool adds that shared cooking and prep areas keep any item from being guaranteed completely free of allergens.
Cross-Contact and Shared Equipment at IHOP
IHOP’s own allergen tool is direct about one limit: no menu item can be guaranteed completely free of allergens. Shared cooking and prep areas, including common fryer oil, serve the whole menu. IHOP also states that its fryers use highly refined soybean oil, which the FDA exempts from allergen labeling. Substitutions a guest requests change what an item declares.
The tool covers ten allergens, so other allergenic foods can be present without being declared. A server can describe what a station handles, but this IHOP allergen menu covers only what the tool declares.
