What's there to say about ihop? Its ihop! Nothing spectacular but certainly not the worst place either. I ate there recently with my family mostly because its kid friendly & inexpensive.
I just had a grilled cheese with fries & fruit. I had to order a kids meal because the waitress said they didn't have a grownup version of grilled cheese on the menu. Really?? How hard is it to make an adult sized grilled cheese?? But whatever...
The sandwich was kid sized but the meal was filling accompanied by the fries & fresh fruit. Everything tasted pretty good too.
The service was pleasant & prompt but the best thing about it was the guy who came around with balloons to make characters for the kids.
I went here last night for New Years Eve, and it was TERRIBLE!
No one at the front, the hostess was gossiping in the back. Â When my friend and I walked in, it was like we were a burden to her. Â It took about 10 minutes before our server came to ask for our drinks, and another 20 to place our order.
My friend is allergic to wheat and they treated him like dirt for asking a simple question about a certain dish. Â
Now, since it was NYE, I wore a nice dress, which does show cleavage. Â I never wear anything like that on a day to day basis, but I decided, why the heck not? Â The busser was staring at me from the back the entire time. Â He's walk by and stare. Â Not very subtle either. Â
The food was microwaved, the meat was disgusting- It tasted like what dog food smells like. Â It was ice cold. Â We did not see the server the entire time, until I got up to pay in the front. Â She rushed at me like I was going to dine-and-dash. Â
We walked out, and of course I was being leered at by the busser. Â
I have never felt more uncomfortable just trying to eat.
Stay away from this place.
Meh!
So, if you follow my reviews you know I love trying out new and hot breakfast joints that get a capital "E" for EFFORT. Â So coming back down to IHOP is hard. Â I miss all the specialty dishes that have creativity and vision.
With this said...
IHOP is solid with good basic pancakes, bacon, sausage, and french toast. Â Right now they're doing a deal that if you buy this combo you get unlimited pancakes. Â Here's the double edged sword with that, the combo you get is huge and who will want more pancakes after all that food. Â I'm hip to this trick - you didn't get me!
Basic meh breakfast. Â Nothing special.
This IHOP is similar to any other IHOP you've been in.
The place is sterile, but brightly lit.
Waitress will come by with variable efficiency.
Portions will be gigantic.
The food isn't spectacular, but is filling. Large amounts of syrup do wonders.
There's a bottomless cup of self-serve coffee with a container at the table.
There's also a menu item for endless pancakes. Now I know where to go when I've given up all hope.
Parking is easy, although finding the restaurant in the jumble of businesses in this shopping center is not.
Breakfast for Dinner! Kiddies Squeal for joy!
Good: Kiddies eat for free on Tuesdays, and Kiddies have such sophisticated palates that Totinos and Chef Boyardee are still top notch, IHOP will work!
Bad: Parents have to eat so kids can eat free, this food is barely edible drunk off your arse!
You cant even review service at IHOP, because that's like asking about the plot of cops!
SIGHT SEEING: Last night 2 trannys, were having a meet and greet they sat them selves in the very back hidden away, but oddly enough when thier discrete encouter arrived they took to walking to the bathroom numerous times which is when we noticed them and my 10 yr old says damn neart loud enough for the restaurant to hear Daddy those ae boys dresses as girls! I said baby for some people halloween never ends! She said no they like boys!
