International House of Pancakes

Good standard breakfast fare.

I've come here 3 or 4 times in the last couple months usually Saturday or Sunday mornings between 8-10am, and it's pretty busy. Some weekends you may have to wait 10-15 minutes for a table, while other times you might get lucky---lesson=even at 8am this place gets full (mostly older or scraggly-type people).

Prices are a little high for being a run-of-the-mill chain, but I haven't had any bad food from them.

Hashbrowns are delicious, but there is something just a little off (not sure if they should be spread out more when cooked, or cooked a little longer, or just flipped more often. Like I said, they're good, but something's missing).

Pancakes are always good. I particularly like the NY Cheesecake pancakes, they're worth every calorie (which is quite a few).

Their eggs and omelets have always come out as ordered and as expected---good. Nothing amazing, but that's not why I go here.

Waitresses do vary greatly in quality here (would write waitstaff, but they're always women, the only guys I see work here are a few hispanic guys that buss tables). General rule of thumb: be nice, don't linger too long, and do try to take some personal interest in them so they'll try to be nice and/or don't hate you.

Pros:
+Good food
+decent service
+fairly good turn-around between the time of ordering and the time when the food is ready

Cons:
-A little expensive for what it is.
-Waitresses can be pushy (are encouraged to sell extras)
-nothing extraordinary (is it worth more than a 10-15 minute wait? Not really...)

Such a horrible experience at this iHOP! Waitress was rude and waffles were frozen in the middle! I asked for some fresh ones, instead they put my original waffles in the microwave and brought them back to me. The waitress could care less and kept making smart comments! I will never come back to this location!  Shari's is 100% better and is 24/7 as well!
