View Full Version : IHOP
I have always found thier breakfasts to far eclipse anything offered by Golden Corral, Ponderosa etc. Their fresh orange juice is wonderful.
Any opposing views??

I'd agree fully with you NigelM....we think IHOP is the best for breakfast by far.
We've been to Ponderosa and quite frankly found their food looked and tasted cheap and their coffee like coloured water ... will not be going back there in a hurry. I know others rave about them but it's not for us I'm afraid ;).

Very true Martin - the one on the 192 just by the intersection with Thacker Ave (about a mile east of Medieval Times) is by far the best - most mornings they have locals queueing for a table which has got to be a good sign [msnsmile]
That is the one that I use!!!
We used to drive all the way there from BVL!!
Just dreamin about that juice right now...bring on Mar 20 2004.
If I remember correctly, the orange juice in IHOP is Tropicana which you can get a fix of in the UK but without the atmosphere sadly.

IHOP is a great place for breakfast meals on our visit in August i think we must have gone there 3 or 4 times, usually before a long day at the theme parks.
How does their OJ stack up against the unlabelled stuff in the supermarkets? Anyone tasted it (supermarket OJ that is)?
We buy Tropicana both in UK and in US as we like it the best but never tried unlabelled as OJ is quite expensive in UK and we'd hate to waste any! :)
My goodness, in 9 years of visiting Orlando we've never been in IHOP!!!
It's on my To Do list for December and my mouth's watering ;)

The strawberry pancakes are to die for.......just don't go on any rides after........
There now you have gone on done it we were still not going to go even after the rave reviews on here as we can take or leave pancakes but now you have gone and said the magic words
"The stawberry pancakes are to die for......."
I will come back looking like one at this rate
Must have strawberry milkshake from Johnny Rockets and now strawberry pancakes from Ihop OH and dont forget the Cheesecake factory as well [:p] Ok guess I will be straight back on Atkins the minute I get off the plane
I've just looked at the menu - I thought they only sold Pancakes [:0]
I could just eat a Big Steak Omelette right now [msntongue]

Fruit Pancakes Your choice of four fluffy buttermilk pancakes smothered with the topping of your choice
Strawberry International
Sweet strawberries and whipped topping
Blueberry Pancakes
Rich blueberry compote, served warm, and whipped topping
Cinnamon-Apple Pancakes
Flavorful cinnamon-apple compote, served warm, and whipped topping
I keep saying I'll not have one again....but everytime I do......[}:)][}:)][}:)]
If you're into savoury, their chicken Caesar salad comes up in a huge fruit bowl (the sort you'd serve trifle in for a whole family) and you probably won't have any room for pancakes after that! :D
Their blinis are also delicious...

It is also worth noting, if not all your party have the appetite for huge portions, you can order the sides such as toast, scrambled eggs even cereal for very little money, so far better value that the one-price-fits-all restaurants.
Just to add... I dare you try the Swedish pancakes....heavenly [:X]

We were back at the villa at Christms and in time honoured tradition on the first morning we went to IHOP where we were welcomed back like part of the family. If anyone is going to the IHOP on the 192 near Thacker Ave as John describes above, please send our regards to Tatiana and we'll see her in June!

Hi,
In December/January Denny's had 3 different breakfast deals at $4.99 + about $1.30 for drinks with free refills.
They are cooked to order and the portions are huge (more than you can eat.
Hence I think their high quality makes them far better value than the Ponderosa/Golden Corral buffets which may be cheap but are very mediocre quality.
I am not so keen on the Denny's evening meals as they have the same run of the mill menu items that you get anywhere else.
I prefer to try specialist steak/rib/fish/barbecue/italian restaraunts etc.

Thacker is on the 192 - about a mile east of the Super Wal-Mart that is by Medieval Times. The IHOP is on the left as you head east [msnsmile].

We don't like IHOP at all, we'd rather go to a diner instead.

It takes all sorts Amirah - we'd prefer IHOP to a diner any day ourselves [msnsmile]
IHOP also have English style thin pancakes ( crepes) as well as the usual hotcakes. These are cakked German, French or Swedish pancakes and come with orange, lemon or berry sauce. This is the nearest you can get to a Shrove Tuesday type pancake.
Maybe they have superb customer service down there in Orlando, but the IHOP table service up North are terrible. We'd choose a Waffle House anyday and they serve hominy grits which IHOP doesn't.

That sound like it might be the problem Amirah - the IHOP we mentioned above has 1st class service - we are now treated like a member of the family when we go in and have even had an invite round to Tatianna's house [msnsmile].
They definitely do grits too although I'm not sure if the "hominy" makes a difference as I never order grits.
I've been to IHOP's in the US and always found them fab. Went last week to the one nearest Formosa Boulevard and YUK!!! Glad it's not just me!!
