IHOP

Original Buttermilk Pancakes

IHOP's founding dish — lightly crisp at the edges, airy within, and served with a four-syrup caddy that makes each bite customizable

Seasonal Specialty Pancakes

IHOP's rotating limited-time pancake flavors — past iterations like strawberry and cheesecake variants tend to deliver on the promise better than skeptics expect

French Toast

Thick-cut, eggy, and golden — a solid alternative to pancakes for those who want something rich without the syrup-and-stack format

Belgian Waffle

Crisp-edged with deep pockets that hold syrup well — consistently executed and a reliable vehicle for butter and fruit toppings

Big Steak Omelette

A hearty three-egg omelette packed with sirloin steak strips, mushrooms, onions, and peppers — the most substantial savory option for those skipping the sweet side of the menu

Country Fried Steak and Eggs

Breaded cube steak smothered in cream gravy alongside eggs cooked to order — the most satisfying savory plate on a menu that otherwise skews sweet

Hash Browns

Standard flat-style hash browns that arrive crisp when the kitchen is on — a fine side, but nothing that elevates the meal
