First time at this IHOP. Been going to them for decades though.
I arrived around 8:45 on a Monday morning and it was about one quarter full, which was good to see.
My server quickly greeted me, offered coffee and asked for my drink order. After she brought my juice and water she took my order.
I got the country fried steak and eggs. I asked for extra gravy and toast instead of pancakes which she efficiently complied to. The order took 12 minutes, so I guess they had to batter the steak since it should only take about 4 minutes to fry it.
My plate arrived with the steak on top of the hash browns. At first I was stumped but then realized that there wouldn't have been room for the large portions otherwise.
The eggs were fluffy and buttery, the steak was fried to perfection, the hash browns were nicely crisped but tender on the inside and there was lots of gravy.
Good meal.
