IHOP

Pros: Good menu variety, reasonable prices, good service and a welcoming attitude.
Cons: Food quality is OK but not outstanding

We are a group of tennis players that go out on Friday nights for something to eat after playing tennis at our local club in Northern California (Pleasanton). We are a mixed bunch, guys and girls, young and old, married and single, etc. Usually, there...

Pros: You'll get Good Food... OR Good Service... OR Clean Conditions (Pick 2 of the 3) plus Good Prices.
Cons: You WON'T get the Third choice... and there's no way to know until you go in!

I loved I-Hop! I really did. I'm a breakfast NUT and it used to be a real treat to go there for dinner and have one of their pancake combination meals. But somewhere along the way something happened.

Either I got more discriminating or they...

Pros: great food, very extensive menu
Cons: service is slow and not very good

As a kid I loved IHOP. I used to always order the chocolate chip pancakes. They would make them into cute Mickey Mouse ears. So, of course IHOP was always my first choice for breakfast. My preferences have changed some since then, but I still love to...

Pros: none to be found
Cons: everything

I've been to IHOPS in the past that seem to be clean, friendly and worth the money you pay for the breakfast. But I haven't been to one in Central Florida that seems to adapt this practice.

The absolute worst offender is on 436 near Aloma in...

Pros: Used to like pancakes will not set foot in ever again however.
Cons: Green mold and other surprises

It has been around three years since I last set foot in an IHOP. It all started that faithful morning I took my mother-in law to the Gaithersburg, Maryland IHOP. Just her and myself. What was suppose to be just another casual breakfast
turned into...

Pros: The Eggs Benidict!
Cons: I'm still trying to figure out if this amorphous sluge is Eggs Benidict

Being a child of the television generation (my doctors are still trying to get that television out of my stomach and the goofy triangle out from my head, they said if I pay Jerry Farwell a large sum of money he might be able to exorcise it for me), I can...

Pros: None
Cons: Time Consuming and $ not worth the meal

Before this experience, I had been to IHOP several times over my lifetime. I used to really like eating their pancakes and hash browns etc... But, one fateful day...make that two or three...(I gave them second and third chances).

First I had...

Pros: good food
Cons: service sucks, not worth the frequent long waits

I really enjoy French Toast. My wife makes the best, but as a new age sensitive guy I sometimes unchain her from the stove and let her come with me to IHOP for my French toast fix.

Both styles of IHOP French toast are great, IF you get them...

Pros: Always good food and service
Cons: Sometimes gets a bit hectic

I've been eating at IHOP since before it was even called that. I never really thought about the quality of service they offer, although it has always been good, until the other night.

I work the third shift, so on my nights off I have limited...

Pros: Great Breakfast
Cons: Probably the best during breakfast, but the smaller lunch and dinner menus are still as delicious.

So, you were strolling down main street or whatever street that maybe on an early sunday morning and out of the rows of Denny's and McD's your eye catches a triangular shaped roof building with blue outlines. Yes... it's an IHOP.
Upon receiving my...

Pros: some are open 24 hrs., not quite as "diner-y" as people may think, cost efficient, great food, massive variety
Cons: beverages will kill your pocket

...for the International House of Pancakes. They say the most important meal of the day is breakfast so this restaurant is ideal because you can have breakfast any hour of the day (and in some cases, 24 hours a day). IHOP even serves up a variety of...

Pros: Good menu selection.
Cons: Everything else, especially the service.

I remember going to IHOP way back when I was kid, and I used to love the place. My grandmother would take me there occasionally, and I couldn't wait for each time. They used to have a HUGE selection of pancakes, as well as a HUGE selection of syrup on...

Pros: Breakfast
Cons: None

International House Of Pancakes. I love this restaurant, especally for breakfast. The IHOP I go to is always fast and the food is great. It is hard to find a nice place to have a great breakfast at a good price. IHOP covers all of the above.
...

Pros: Good food, service, prices
Cons: Easy to eat too much.

IHOP is one step up from a fast food restaurant....but what a step, it is!!!! We have never waited more than about 10 minutes to be seated and only once waited more than 30 minutes for our food. And usually MUCH quicker.

They serve all...

Pros: Great food, descent price
Cons: non existant smoking shielding from non smoking, takes long time to pay bill

Ever since I was a small, poor child, I have always enjoyed IHOP. It was almost a novelty to get to go to a breakfast place, since I was from a backwater Texas town. I was always fascinated by the atomshpere... the nice clean leather (fake...
