International House of Pancakes

I usually love IHOP but this location is so disappointing. On my last visit, I had to send my food back twice. I had ordered the steak tips and the first time they were black. They came back out no more than five minutes later and it was as though they had only browned the outside to pacify me because the inside was raw and cold. The waitress was never around, so I eventually just talked to the manager — she wasn’t exceptionally friendly either. You could tell she was busy and just wanted us out of her hair. Whatever. Next time I want my Ihop fix I’ll drive a little further to get better service.

My wife and I went in the other evening (²⁄₂₈ if correct). It was not too busy and we were seated immediately.
We were promptly greeted by our server and the coffee was the first item requested. We got this in no time and we needed a few minutes to decide what we wanted.
We tried the appetizer of the mozzarella sticks. They came to us pretty quickly and were larger than normal in size, and with enough mozzarella in them to make it almost stringy with each bite.
I then ordered the Philly Cheese steak and the Mrs. ordered the fish. Both meals came out well within expectation and were good. I probably would have liked more cheese and definitely onions on it. My wife said the fish was good to the taste.
An overall good meal and not priced to break a budget.
I do admit, I was thinking about having an omelette… man they’re so good there.
So the overall score for dinner is a B.
Of course I’d give the breakfast an A… no doubt there — I have definitely been there enough times in the mornings :)

Surprisingly good service here!
Sean and I walked in last weekend and saw a line out the door. I sighed and decided to run in and ask the wait anyway. It was only 15 mins? Dang. Well I guess it was just us two and most were parties of 4 or more who were waiting. We ended up being seated in less than 10 minutes and our service was very prompt and friendly. I had the whole wheat French toast with bananas. It was SO good. Sean liked his food too but any iHop location is usually enough to satisfy him. ;)
