| - IHOP Huntersville Review
Okay, now I have been traveling professionally for the past 33 years and when people ask me what my favorite restaurant is, I always say, "my favorite health club is the International House Of Pancakes!". This always gets a few laughs, which I enjoy.
Literally I enjoy eating at IHOP. Today I stopped at the IHOP off of exit 25 on I-77, just to celebrate an excellent job interview that I just had (looking for new job). Of course, the wait staff was incredibly friendly, as usual, and the food was fabulous, as usual (my favorite is the Country Omelette with pancakes and salsa on top!), and while eating I received a call with a job offer from the interview from an hour ago! So it all falls into place - wonderful staff, fabulous manager, excellent food, and GOOD LUCK! Can't believe I'm sitting here at 4:30 PM eating late brunch to celebrate a fun interview, and they make me a job offer! They being Time Warner Cable...
Now if you knew me, you'd ask me, "why are you eating at the IHOP in Huntersville when you live 5 minutes from a brand new IHOP?" . I live in Mooresville and yes, that IHOP is nice, but I've been visiting them both and I prefer the staff, the cleanliness, and the food at the Huntersville IHOP better than all others near me. Really enjoy coming here! One of the top 10 restaurants in the state of North Carolina, in my opinion.
So here I go, my ratings:
Pricing = 10
Food quality = 10
Cleanliness = 10
Staff friendliness & professionalism = 10
Overall ratings = 10
Now feel free to chuckle at my ratings, that is until you eat here. Once you've visited this place you'll understand why I've given them such high ratings. Seldom do I hit all 10's!
Now, my one critique, and it's sort of not a part of the restaurant itself - the location! When you exit off of I-77 and turn west on hwy 73, you'll see the IHOP on the north side of 73, but finding the entrance can be a PITA (Pain In The ***). To help you get there, if you're traveling south on I-77, exit and turn left, cross the bridge over the highway, then turn left (north) on hwy 21. The first left turn lane, about a quarter mile down the road, is where you go. Once you've turned left, follow that road all the way to the end and there is IHOP.
Going north on I-77, exit and turn right but immediately get all the way over to the left lane so you can turn left (north) on hwy 21, then follow the rou.te listed above.
Mr. Richard Santorum (very nice guy) Manager, waitress today = Alexis & Brittany (wonderful, friendly, and so very nice to talk with!)
