| - Bf has had a love for IHOP's plain, fluffy pancakes for the longest time. When he finally convinced me that he wasn't joking about this, I conceded to come here for breakfast.
This location was a little over a mile away from our hotel, so we were here in a flash and walked in just before noon for some breakfast.
Parking in the huge lot that they share with Firestone was a snap, and we were immediately seated at a booth in their air conditioned environment.
The menu was bigger than I expected - with tempting pictures. It's been decades since I've even uttered the word IHOP in a serious way, so my tummy sat up and took notice.
I passed up the T-Bone Steak & Eggs and the Sirloin Tips & Eggs and eyed the omelettes. The regular omelettes' egg batter has pancake mix in it, to "make them more fluffy", so I chose to get the healthy and fit omelette (not served with pancakes like the regular omelettes, but served with fruit instead). It's made with egg substitute:
Spinach, Mushroom and Onion Omelette, add steak, no salt - served with a mix of cantaloupe, honeydew and grapes, this omelette had fresh leaf spinach, big mushroom slices, and diced onions and tomatoes. It was fresh, tasty, and the added steak was pretty good.
Bf had the Sampler - bacon, sausage, eggs, hash browns and his beloved pancakes, which were indeed fluffy and yummy.
Bf's OJ wasn't fresh squeezed, but the service was very attenttive and the food was so frrsh that I won't fault them too much for the juice.
I guess I can support bf's love for the fluffy going forward!
