| - Sometimes we have late night cravings.... and my neighborhood IHOP is just a few minutes away... Yippy Hooray!
We ( my date and I ) used to be regulars here, since it's the nearest 24hr. place to eat when he gets off work late and he doesn't have much of an appetite to eat alone unless I accompany him, so usually around 4a.m., we eat together for early breakfast/late night dinner 3x a week... yes the pounds did catch on, but luckily we don't have our ritual of weekly IHOP anymore or we would be in big trouble.
Our server Monica usually takes care of us... She's upbeat, great sense of humor, cheerful, and loves to sing out loud... which I actually admire. It really puts us in a extra happy go feeling to witness it. One of the reasons why we always go back there :)
This visit... Monica remembered us after being MIA for the whole summer, which was really nice to hear her say "how you guys been?!?" Love her warm welcome and remembering our fruit drinks order every time. I asked her how the new Pumpkin Pancakes are and she was so animated and held her hands to her chest and told me it's to die for. So by that remark... I ordered the Pumpkin Pancake Combo - which comes with eggs, hash browns, and either sausage or bacon. I ordered mine with egg whites only and sprinkled with cheddar cheese, since she asked if I would like some, but was charged an extra $1 for that cheese, which wasn't worth it, since it was just a few sprinkles.
The Pumpkin Pancakes were not huge in size, but almost the same size as a hamburger patty if not a bit bigger. I drizzled some Pecan Syrup and didn't really need butter, since it's the salty kind, not rich and creamy. It was flavorful and the notes of cinnamon and allspice danced in my palette. My egg whites were fluffy and good. My sausages and hash browns were all quite tasty and yummy.
The second dish we ordered was the Build Your Own Omelet consisting of: Provolone Cheese, Ham, Green Peppers, Onions, and Over-Roasted Tomatoes. I believe it was very hearty and delicious since he didn't offer to share a bite... usually that means too yummy to share.
We always seem to enjoy our time here with the service and food. If you're ever craving late night food or just Pumpkin Pancakes that's only being served for a limited time... please take advantage of this before it's off the menu. I don't usually like pancakes, but this one was tasty and fulfilling. We left as happy campers as always....
