This IHOP location is convenient to the near West side of campus. Between the University Hospital and Hilldale Mall. Weekend mornings, this place is busy! There are extra parking spots on the other side of restaurant or park on Ridge and walk over.
I usually go on a week day morning because it's quieter. I have had good service when I'm noticed. There has been a time or two that I've had to shout to the back kitchen that I was there. But the coffee comes quickly and the food shortly after that.
Food wise, it's like an IHOP anywhere. Order a breakfast and get pancakes, or go lighter. They have something for anyone. Sometimes they run out of bananas, which can be a bummer.
If you are looking for an impressive brunch, you know this isn't the place. But looking for a good breakfast that is cost effective, come on it.
