Realized I hadn't eaten all day and it was 4:45p.
Was at Happy Valley & Pleasant Valley in Peoria. MANY choices to eat. I decided on I-Hop. I was surprised how clean it was... but empty.
I asked my server why no one was there. She replied that they had had many bad reviews about poor service and long wait for food.
The menu was AMAZING! I was so surprised by the varied and healthy options! I ordered a spinach, mushroom, pepper omelette with the Hollandaise on the side. Asked for a side of buttermilk pancakes. The syrups on the table looked yummy and bottles all clean.
My meal arrived quickly, was hot, exactly as ordered. I was pleasantly surprised how everything was DELICIOUS. It was fresh ingredients and a pleasant surprise after previous experiences at any pancake house.
Hopefully, management is straightening out personnel problems because it was perfect when I was there. Families came in and I hope they, too, had a positive experience! I'll definitely go back and WILL spread the word about their excellent menu!
