(bolding mine) this alone is the key aspect of the OP's inquiry, IHOP should be the place to go in this instance.
I disagree with your other statements, independent greasy spoons are always the way to go in my book, even if the meal doesn't live up to my expectations (rare), I still
personally far prefer to spend my money at independent restaurants vrs chains.
