IHOP has standards that you just expect and this one is no exception. The food has always been of a decent quality and over the years seems to have deviated very little from when it first opened. Of course you have to be in the mood for "diner" and "breakfast" foods to really appreciate the place, but hey, it's really good and that's what counts.
Review Source:I happened to be in Muncie, IN this past weekend and had the opportunity to have breakfast at IHOP. Â I've eaten at IHOP several times in various locations and have found the food to be consistently good wherever I've gone.
My preference is family owned, private places but sometimes they aren't convenient. Â IHOP is a good second choice for those of you who are like-minded. Â
Portions are generous and everything I've ever had tasted very good. Â Contrary to what I've heard people say, "You can't screw up breakfast", you absolutely can screw up breakfast. Â IHOP knows how to cook eggs so they're perfectly done.
I'd say IHOP is at the top of their "slightly better than fast food" category.
Last week I attended the Howard Dean Lecture at Ball State University. Â By the way, Governor Dean gets a 5 star rating for delivering the goods. Â Afterwards my partner and I were really hungry so we stopped at the IHOP in Muncie. Â The truth is that I have always had a soft spot in my heart for IHOP, even the cockroach infested, badly managed on at 16th and Meridian in Indianapolis (now demolished sadly with a CVS on the site). Â So, I was happy to enter this very clean suburban version of what I mostly knew as downtown grimey (and grimly!) urban.
We had a wonderful server.  I think her name was Brook but lost the receipt and am not totally sure,..  Our breakfast samplers (nicely priced) got to the table FAST.  The food was standard but good.  I asked for the special autumn pecan pancakes and the server I think is named  Brook happily complied.happily.
There was a very outgoing young manager type guy who dropped by the table twice to ask if everything was ok.
It was late at night. Â We were tired an hungry. Â But seeing Gov Dean and having a good experience at a chain restaurant, left us with a smile.
I have been to IHOPs everywhere, but this was the best! Â Keep it up IHOP Muncie.
You haven't really lived until you've been to an IHOP at an odd hour of the very late night or early morning, depending on who you ask. Â Whether due to proximity to Ball State or cosmic accident, Muncie's IHOP is one of the best for witching-hour shenanigans. Â The third-shift staff is awesome, the service is pretty quick, and no matter what time of day or night you drop by the store and grounds are clean and inviting. Â Sure, all IHOPs are chain restaurants, but if you're in the area, it's 3am, and you need pancakes, stat, this is THE place to take your bad self (and preferably as many friends as you can round up).
Also, the insides of the coffee carafes smell like a Holiday Inn. Â Drink one down, open the top, see for yourself.
Believe it or not, I had never been to an IHOP before tonight. My mom had always pressured me into coming, but I'd always counter with something better. Now, I wish I had given in just a little sooner.
I won't go into any drawn out descriptions, as I figure most people have been to one by now. I'll just say that this was one of the nicest and cleanest restaurants I'd been in, and that the food was great.
I had the chicken fried chicken with scrambled eggs and pancakes while mom had a huge omelette with pancakes.
You have a choice of strawberry, boysenberry, blueberry, butter pecan and maple syrups, which, needless to say is a great variety, even if we did both end up choosing strawberry.
Great food and experience all around.
