Travelling to the States in a couple of weeks and hotel has an IHOP right next door.

As we are a large group (100 people in total) with a lot of families involved...I think a lot of them will prob choose to eat there at breakfast and snack times.

Quality of food? Price? Thoughts?

It's institutional factory food, like most US chains. Not to say its not good. It's my beloved's favorite US restaurant.

can get really busy in the mornings, with long waits. But good value for the money usually.

Hi,

I agree with alanw.^

It is usually good value for money and the panackes at breakfast are very good with a range of toppings available.

go try it for flavor. google it for nutrition. few mor carbs than other fast food, not as much fat. reasonalbe prices reasonable service. if you like the coffee, it be a good place to shop.

I like the breakfast. Yes, the quality is mediocre, but I agree with alanw that it is a good value, and for a large group, including children, with varied tastes, it's probably a decent option.

Though I would stick to the breakfast items like pancakes, breakfast meats, and hash browns, and avoid the lunch/dinner entrees (though you can have pancakes at any time). I love the crepe-style ones, including, as I recall, "Swedish pancakes" with butter and berry compote, and the traditional American buttermilk are good too.

Plus it's a good slice of Americana that you will enjoy as a tourist.

Consistently decent. The senior menu is priced nicely

Think "Desert for Breakfast": Pancakes with toppings more appropriate for a dish of ice cream. For that reason, it may be popular with younger crowd. If this is a holiday, you may as well let them enjoy it. More conventional offerings are available.

If you search for "ihop menu" you'll find some examples. Likewise, "ihop coupons" seems to turn up some sites that may allow you to save a few bucks.

I used to live 2 blocks from one - good for breakfast and late-night snacking. Lunch and dinner, not so much.

Good advice so far.

The key to this country is to realize that we do breakfast really well, and the rest we need to borrow from other cultures.

I'm a huge fan of IHOP, especially because you can get the whole breakfast menu all day. I don't recommend getting anything else they serve, as it generally sucks. You won't be disappointed, however, with the breakfast menu. One thing to be aware of - and this can be a good thing - is that the portions are huge, even by American standards. For example, if you order an omelette, you can opt for a short stack of pancakes. You can easily feed two people with that. I'm personally a fan of their harvest grain and nut pancakes and their vegetable omelette. Chicken fajita omelette is good too.

As others have said, they are a good, reasonably priced choice for Breakfasts, not very good quality for other meals.

One thing that hasn't been emphasized, and you should be aware of, is that, on weekends for breakfast, they can get pretty crowded, and if a significant portion of your 100 person group tries to eat there on a Saturday or Sunday, you will likely be looking at LOOOOONNNNGGG waits to be seated.

On weekdays, it should be no problem.

If you had been in the US last week, you could have had pancakes for free. IHOP celebrated National Pancake Day. I do like their pancakes. I have never eaten anything other meal there. I am not sure many IHOPs can accompany a crowd of 100, especially at once. Enjoy your visit to the US.

According to Two and a Half Men, IHOP is where the one legged waitresses work.

Get the Cini-stack pancakes. Thats the only advise I can provide, but man is it good.

Just in case anybody has any wheat allergies, they add some pancake batter to their omelettes to get them light and fluffy. They clearly state that on the menu, it's not like they are hiding the fact.

They do breakfast well, though they are usually pretty busy so the waits can be long. They always have some special going on that can save you a few pennies. Other than breakfast (which I believe is available whenever they are open) the food is pretty standard fast food.

Great b fast food and value. Coffee is always nonstop as in most US restaurants.

I f you are that large a group a heads up to the manager will be much appreciated by managers.

Look for promos and coupons too !
