IHOP is a beloved American diner chain known for its diverse breakfast offerings and extensive menu options available throughout the day. Established in 1958 by Al Lapin Jr. and Jerry Lapin, the original IHOP restaurant was named "The Original Pancake House," but it later became internationally recognized as the International House of Pancakes.
IHOP is famous for its wide variety of pancakes, omelets, and other breakfast items that cater to various tastes. The menu features an assortment of sweet treats such as waffles, crepes, and French toast, alongside savory options like burgers, sandwiches, salads, and soups. IHOP also offers a children's menu with smaller portions for kids.
One of the distinctive aspects of IHOP is its "Endless" promotions, which provide customers with unlimited servings of certain items within specific categories, such as pancakes or soup, in exchange for a fixed price.
IHOP has become a staple in many locations, including the restaurant at 4200 Great America Pkwy.
