I'll start by saying this is IHOP, it normally wouldn't be at the top of my list for breakfast, but heck we had a coupon. So, why not give it a shot? BOGO was too good to pass up.
Not passing IHOP up was definitely the right thing to do. I was starving after a hard workout and my partner loves going out for breakfast on Sunday mornings.
This particular IHOP was formerly an Islands Burger restaurant. I'm not much of a fan of Islands and was wondering what IHOP had done with the space. Islands is typically dark and barsy, not what you'd think of for IHOP. Luckily the space was totally made over. Lots of sunlight, nice yellow colors on the wall and very open. Best of all it was very clean.
We arrived at 8:30 AM expecting to have to wait, but to our surprise the restaurant wasn't that busy. We almost rethought our choice but went ahead anyway. We were immediately greeted and seated. Great first impression!
It turned out the person that seated us was also our server. She gave us a minute and promptly came back to take our drink orders. I had Grapefruit Juice and my partner ordered Iced Tea. I asked for ice in the juice and she was thoughtful enough to bring an additional glass with ice in it so I wouldn't be shortchanged on the juice. Now that's what I call service.
I ordered an omelet and my partner went with eggs and pancakes. Everything was prepared just as ordered and very tasty. Not the best I've ever had, but darn good. Remember, it's IHOP not T Cooks.
So if you're in the neighborhood and want a good breakfast at a decent price head over to IHOP.
