In 1958, International House of Pancakes (IHOP) opened its doors to the public. It started as a family business which continues to serve amazing pancakes and other breakfast items, lunch and dinner.

IHOP’s philosophy is customers should come as they are, savor every minute spent in the establishment, go with the flow and be their selves.

The desserts are amazing: sundaes and crepes are great after lunch or dinner.
