I haven't even seen an IHop in years, at least where I live. My Uncle Sal used to LOVE IHop, for exactly the reason that SC gave - the Coffee. They would bring the entire carafe to your table. Every year, Uncle Sal would take my mom and Aunt Grace Christmas shopping. When they were done, they would always go to IHop.

My mom treated us to breakfast the other day. We went to a delightful little place right near me that served HUGE pancakes. They were about the size of a dessert plate. They were obviously freshly made, and they were fluffy and delicious.
