IHop

Shitty service, but that's to be expected at a place like IHop. I guess if I had to work 3rd shift on a Sunday night I'd be grumpy, too.

Our waitress dropped by the table maybe three times to ask "Everything OK?" and then would walk away before we could ask for...clean silverware, refills on drinks, ketchup, hot sauce, or our missing order of eggs. Sigh.

And yet...the food was actually better than I expected. They have a half dozen items that are under 500 calories. My pancakes were light and fluffy, my egg substitute scramble was decent, and the turkey bacon wasn't half bad.

In closing, if it's 3 in the morning and you are too far from home to cook breakfast, why not?

This IHOP is the only one that I know of inside of the 465 loop. It's got the usual IHOP fair; Pancakes, mozzarella sticks, the like. Greasy, not good for you, 2 in the morning and nowhere else is open food and a bored waitstaff.

Okay, I'm surprised to give 5 stars. But it's deserved.

Went to this IHOP on a late Sunday morning expecting crowds, chaos, and bad service, since, well, it's IHOP on W 38th. I was pleasantly surprised! First, it wasn't busy (thank you Colts game) and while we felt forgotten about in the beginning, we soon learned that some staffing issue must have happened and the "new" server along with the manager came alerting us to our "new" server who was also kind enough to tell us where her station area was in case we needed her for anything, which we never did because her service was wonderful and her name was Amber.

Food came out fast and hot, drinks never were near empty, and dirty dishes would disappear before we could even notice we had them.

So a situation that could have gone wrong went so right! Who knew! Keep it up IHOP, I am hoping to make this location my new go-to.
