| - Not my favorite place to go for breakfast, but have fond memories of visiting the downtonwn location at bartime. That was interesting! Anyway, yes, ihop is a sort of dive, and they pack you in like sardines. Their pancakes aren't my favorite... and neither are their omelets (Perkins up the street makes their pancakes nice and fluffy and has ihop beat on the omelets too). So this last time, I ordered the Belgian waffle with berries and cream, and it was to die for! The waffle was nice and tender. Not dry or "cut the roof of your mouth crunchy". The tender waffle combined with the delicious sweet cream and berries was addicting. With a side of crisp bacon, and scrambled eggs, my cravings were satisfied, and I keep thinking about it. Our waitress worked hard. Good service and a happy tummy means we will need to go back soon.
EDIT:
I've been back twice, maybe more, since my last review and I have to say I've been disappointed each time. I did order the Belgian waffle with berries and cream again, and the waffle wasn't as delicious. The first time all the toppings just danced delightfully with the warm waffle. This time, they all seemed to lay there sagging and uncomplementary to one another. The fruit and the vanilla cream were nearly frosty they were so cold. It just didn't do it for me.
I also ordered something that I had been impressed with many moons ago, which was the stuffed french toast with strawberries. I remember it being sweet and gooey and sinfully good. This time the bread was tough and dried out. It was a disappointment.
Needless to say, if the fam wants to do breakfast out, we will opt for somewhere else.
