It might have been because I had National Pancake Day on my mind, probably my favorite holiday of the year, so that when I passed by this humble IHOP on Airport Blvd it proved too much to resist. Perhaps I should have had stronger willpower, but I'll get to that. This is one of the smaller IHOPs, with a small seating area in the front and a few along the side in the back. The lanes were made just a little too small (like the infamous Geico commercial): they only allow one and a half people along the aisles. When two people try to pass, they bump the customers in the adjacent booths. For example, I was made aware of this while taking a sip of coffee. The kitchen is set up so that it is open facing the doorway and tables: you can watch and listen to the servers giving and receiving orders from the cook. It has a little bit of the feel of an old school diner as opposed to the homogenous IHOP that you might run into in a mall (which can feel more like an office). However, on this day, you could hear the servers and cooks engaged in repeated shouting matches over orders done incorrectly. I'm going to have to go with the servers in this argument. I'd ordered the country omelet with pancakes and the pancakes came out thin and sort of crunchy. I considered crunchy pancakes sort of a novelty, just not of the good kind. The country omelet came without sour cream which my server caught and brought me a tub of it after she had delivered the meal. Which brings me to the Law of Sour Cream. Sour cream and it's ingredient cousins are things that you can see on a menu, order, and have stuffed in a meal. You may even enjoy the taste of it and not even really have to think about it. But when you have a tub of sour cream placed in front of you, suddenly you have to face exactly what you're putting in your meal: something that looks like a glop of gooey lard. Inevitably, this will lead you to putting far less or even none of the substance in your meal. I passed on this occasion. My server at this location was great: frequently came by to update on the status of my order and caught the absence of sour cream in my omelet. She moved around with a kind of benign weariness that seemed appropriate for the din of the restaurant. I considered the effect of working decades in this establishment, decided to double my tip, and left.

i maybe go here once a year because well I would become addicted to pancakes again! I definitely just get the plan pancakes with the mission to complete its goodness with their pecan butter syrup that I can find no where else!! it is like heaven and I smother the pancakes with them! Other than that it is just a pancake house equal to waffle house...only reason I go are for the pancakes and the pecan butter syrup... well just the syrup mostly!

Nice waitress but she was overworked on a sunday morning. Egg whites were runny, not enough room, and ran out of coffee. Air conditioning vent was dripping water on floor beside us. I might try it again at a less busy time, but definitely won't go back for breakfast on a weekend.

My boyfriend and I go to this location fairly frequently, probably at most 3-4 times a month to once a month. We've always gone late at night as we both tend to work till midnight. It's always the 2 older ladies and sometimes some other servers but my 2 favorite ones are those 2 little old biddies. xD Anyways, the food is usually good, what one would expect from an IHOP. I usually get the beef tips and as long as I order it medium (b/c it usually comes out mid well), it's enjoyable. It's a good place to go when Waffle House just won't cut it b/c frankly pancakes and waffles are not the same thing. ;)

Really enjoyed this place!! So good. We all got omlettes and were so full. We all wanna come back and try a whole bunch of things. I'd love the to try the french toast. We all split our omlettes and tried each others stuff and they were all really good.

Fairly standard IHOP. Busy for breakfast on the weekends, not much customer experience when waiting for a table, but when you get seated the service and food are about what you'd expect from an IHOP.

This is a pretty good restaurant. I had thought that because of this restaurants name I would only be able to get me some pancakes, but they had all different types of stuffs. You can get you a intergalactic hamburger. You can get you a intergalactic scrambled egg. Don't nobody care. I got me a intergalactic ham sand which with some fries. And a cokecola. It was pretty good.

Really bad, dirty vibe just walking in. Not that bad when you get seated. Super busy as all iHops are. I git blueberry cheesecake waffle 1/2 and it was so delish! Also the fit fare omelet that was delicious and they have Cholula which is a bonus. Our server was okay but seemed a little annoyed and confused when i wanted an omelet and try blueberry cheesecake waffle. Not the greatest personality. Probably not coming back as I enjoy non-chain restaurants.
