It's IHOP.... what do you expect?
I actually prefer IHOP over Denny's cuz well... in the time it takes for a server to come by to take your food order at Denny's, you're done eating at IHOP. I'm not exaggerating.... it's all fact people....
Typical average breakfast chain restaurant. Nothing special. There's nothing stellar, yet it's not craptastic either.
I actually probably wouldn't ever come here if it were up to me. I'd rather go to other places and drive a little further for a standout breakfast, but I came here because my mom randomly gave me a giftcard to this place. I guess it's her way of saying "You have to eat breakfast more often".
This time around, I got one of their newer items. The "Big Country Fried Steak and Eggs". I love me some steak and eggs for breakfast, so why not country fried steak and eggs? It came topped with gravy, 3 eggs, hash browns, and a short stack of pancakes.
I love hash browns, so I had no complaints. The gravy was kind of watery and lacked some seasoning, but it didn't suck, and I got the eggs over easy and were cooked just right. However, there was some false advertising with the "Big" country fried steak. But I'm not talking about it in a bad way either.
This bad boy took up more than half of the plate. It was overlapping both the eggs and the hashbrowns. I mean, both me and my friend's eyeballs practically popped out when our waitress brought us our food and we gazed upon it's massiveness. Yeah, it should've been called "Massive Country Fried Steak and Eggs". Seriously, we both guessed it had to of been at least 12-16 oz. And it was at least 1/2" thick as well. I was about half way through when my friend said it looked as if I hadn't even made a dent. But like a determined trooper and one who doesn't like leaving his plate uncleaned, I patiently bulldozed my way through each bite. And this was AFTER I had finished those 3 eggs, the hashbrowns but BEFORE I even touched my pancakes.
I have seriously never been that stuffed for $11.49. And for those of you who've met me, you know how big I am and how I can pack down the food. I should've taken a picture.
Service was at par. Our waters were never empty and the place didn't smell. Plenty of parking in the back.
I have eaten breakfast here before, but just had my worst experience. Poor service. Had to wait 5 minutes for the server to bring coffee then another 5 minutes for Cream for the coffee. Warm food. Staff was eating in the back room, which was visible from the dining area, while people were waiting for service. This location needs a shake-up!
Typical IHOP, nothing special. Convenient location, sufficient parking spaces. Food is average. They have a promotion right now for a breakfast combo with unlimited pancakes for less than $10. I'm pretty sure no one requests extra pancakes though unless you want to stuff yourself and not eat until the next day. The service quality varies. Some people are inattentive and some people are awkwardly checking on you every two minutes. If you plan on going on a Sunday, go before 9am, otherwise plan on waiting for seats.
Damn good fluffy pancakes. My tummy thanks you but my waistline loathes you.

I must have really good luck every time I'm here cause I'm in and out in about half an hour. I love… Read more »
You know that drunken mouthy girl who walked in here the other night around 2 a.m. with her associate?
You know, the hot but red-faced one who came in to find a packed waiting area and a 15-minute wait, but NEEDED to sit so proceeded to seat herself at an open booth telling the host she was "just going to wait over here."
Yeah, the one who then got served before all those people in the packed waiting area because she must have confused the staff by seating herself.
You saw her -- she's the one who then insisted on sitting on the same side of the booth as her associate (who DOES that?) and then tried to order the meat lover's special for $13 but hold the meat please.
Oh right you didn't notice her because you were drunk, too....or old....or post-prom....or dressed like you maybe just got back from a baptism (WHERE were you two coming from??). Well, good --- cuz rest assured, that girl was totally not me.
Inexpensive, consistently tasty breakfast at all hours of the day/night! What more can any college student ask for?
The Service: varies from self serve (practically) to quite good.
The Food: Vive la French Toast has never let me down!
The Parking: Always amble except Sunday mornings
Hey... Buttercheeks. Are you as hungry as I am after that long night of drinking??? Should we go get some breakfast on the way to your house??? Where should we go... no that place is too expensive and I spent all my money last night on vodka. Wait, I know! I have a gift certificate to IHOP...$25! We can live it up and get whatever we want!
Mmmm... corn cakes...omelettes....soft eggs...iced coffee...corporate chain breakfast is good when it's free!
I give this place 1 star because I wish i can actually can write a review for this place. Since I wasn't able to dine here one evening with some Yelpers. I thought it was open late not necessarily 24 hours but oh well is what I said.
Then I drove down the street off of the 110 freeway and noticed in the window, 24 HOURS. WTF!!! I was here once a while back in the days but figured I couldn't write a review about this place since it was pre-Yelp so is this false advertising or just open 24 hours on Fridays and Saturdays? Anyone else been here late evening that can tell me?
We've all been to an IHOP so I only answered the brief survey with parking information. Just to be an ass about it since I didn't see a menu or walk through the door.
Always fun for a late night romp, Intenational House of Pancakes was the destination Saturday night.
Terribly understaffed at one in the morning, we were eventually seated and waited on. Luckily, we beat the last call rush.
One star for french toast and pancakes; an additional star for the butter pacan syrup!
I don't know if I'm qualified to write a review here, I've only been here twice, and both times were 3am stumble sessions after a long night of whiskey drinking. From what I remember, they serve a brown salad, not good. But the food comes out very quickly, and they leave the coffee pot, always a good thing. Steak & eggs are decent, though the steak is a T-Bone and can only be cooked to well, whatever, I'm drunk, hit me
Diner food is supposed to be greasy and gross, but my vegetable omelet had fresh spinach and tomatoes, sauteed mushrooms, and a yummy hollondaise sauce on the side. My husband was happy with his black bean omelet. Free pancakes on the side were light and fluffy. (Saccharine sweet syrup was TERRIBLE and tasted like melted strawberry jelly beans). Portions were huge, so I was able to have a very nice lunch too. Service was good. Open 24 hours. Can't complain!
