IHOP can work for keto if you treat it as an eggs, meat, omelette, burger-no-bun, and grilled-protein restaurant rather than a pancake house. The safest orders are black coffee, eggs with bacon or sausage, omelettes without pancakes or potatoes, bunless steakburgers, grilled chicken, grilled salmon, and grilled steak with all starches removed. Avoid pancakes, waffles, French toast, crepes, biscuits, hashbrowns, grits, fried chicken, crispy seafood, desserts, juice, soda, and milkshakes.
