I've been to quite a few IHOP. Most are similar in food quality and service.... average.
Nothing was too exciting about this branch north of Las Vegas strip. It opened 24-hours a day. We went there at 1AM on a Sunday. That's life in sin city... hehehe... I will say no more!
It's very cold that night. It even rained with strong wind at 2 AM before we left. So I ordered hot chocolate (HC). Oh my Buddha!!!! It's $2.59 per cup (ordinary coffee cup), no refill. What a big rip off. I usually pay $0.10 per package. It's 26 times mark up. And my friends had the expected refill of coffee and soft drinks of the same price.
I felt the world has come to a stop when the price of refillable drinks going from $0.99 to $2.99 lately. And worse, people embrace it head over heel and most don't even ask for refill. Let's see if HC will catch on... $2.99 a cup (regular cup) with no refill.
The foods were OK at 1:30 AM. Edible. I gave our waiter a big tip for giving me a free cup of HC after I complained. But I will pay close attention to price jacking from now on... I do have a limit how much I will tolerate for this average chain. Sky is not the limit on my value land.
So diners, I have nothing else to add. It's not my first choice usually. I will still stop by any branch for now whenever convenient.
