“Today's late breakfast was my first visit to an IHOP location. No Kiddin'! The "Meet & Seat" was speedy, we even got our preferred comfy booth, and it was comfy. Server Gina arrives before my seat was warm, to bring menus and take drink orders. She's back in no time with a smile, a pot of coffee and cups. The IHOP coffee is good!

My sweetie likes omelets. Meat, cheese, eggs. No veggies. No fuss. Cheerful Gina helps build my sweetie's preferred omelet with hash browns, of course. This IS Iowa! We're chatting and mixing our coffee when hot food arrives. Speedy Indeedy!

The Missus says her omelet was awesome! I grade a new restaurant by their country fried steak and eggs. My country fried steak was full-tummy sized. Eggs, hashbrowns and pancakes are included. My dilemma was, what to eat first while it was hot. My order was perfectly cooked and delicious! No, I didn't finish all of it.

Gina knows her business and soon arrives with to-go boxes and the bill. Price was reasonable, food quality was great, service was excellent. "Have a Blessed Day" and we have!

5 stars for this first visit! We are sure to return.

Vegetarian options: None. Animals are made of meat. We like eating them!

Parking: Fun Fact: My pancakes are the same size as the serving plate. Care must be taken not to overflow the plate with warm syrup! Or, just eat faster!“

“Hands down my favorite bar. All the bartenders rock, the space is cozy, the drinks are actually reasonably priced, and they don’t skimp on the liquor. If it’s a busy night it can be HARD to find seating, but that’s most bars to be fair. Highly recommend“
