If you had been in the US last week, you could have had pancakes for free. IHOP celebrated National Pancake Day.

And earned a few miles if you went to one of the IHOPs that participate in the Rewards Network airline dining program, and bought a drink to go with the free pancakes.

I actually like IHOP. You get a lot of food and the bang for your buck is not bad. The coffee is tolerable, service is usually alright, the menu is huge with a lot of choices and as far as pancakes go, they're quite good. Plus, when I went to Arizona State around finals they stayed open 24 hours, had free Wifi (back when that meant something) and gave students specials so they have a special place in my heart.

I go for the butter pecan syrup...preferably served atop harvest grain and nut pancakes.

MMMM!

Thanks so much everyone!

Though we are a large group, I imagine most people will utilise at different times of the day so won't need to book it out or anything!

Yes the cost here in Australia for a simple pancake and coffee is ridiculous so will be nice to eat a cheap breakfast or snack for a change! (even though I'm not a huge pancake fan!)
OHHHH! I hope you hit a ALL You Can Eat Pancake special....for a whole 5 USD !!!!

Hi,

I consider the IHOP breakfast sampler, eggs over medium, sort of the USA equivalent of a full English. Not the same; we're not the same. But conceptually similar.

Cool

Be sure to dine at a Denny's while you are here so you can make the ultimate comparison.

I take my kids to IHOP for b'fast a couple times a year. The food's decent, service is quick, and the value is fine by me. It can be very easy to over-order given everything that typically comes with one of their breakfasts. My kids' eyes are always bigger than their stomachs.

I agree with others who said to skip lunch and/or dinner there.

Plenty osf places to eat around there....go on line.

In Vegas, good food is cheap and PLENTIFUL. Buffets galore.

In Vegas, Depending on where you will stay, find Gold Coast Casino (Next to Rio Suites). Their b/Fast buffet is super. Yes there are more and 'brand name places" to go to....

I don't think that's nearly as true as it was a decade ago.

You can say that again.

Last month Dinner buffet at the Mandaly was $30 per person. Buffets are wasted on me, I don't eat more than one plate. Rather go grab decent burger somewhere than over pay for buffet food.
