Has a biscuit with fried chicken, ranch dressing, hash browns and pickle slices with ice tea. I swapped out the country gravy for the ranch. Added a side salad instead of fries 🍟. Yummy! Big sandwich so I brought 1/2 home for snack.

Liz is our family favorite waitress! She is super sweet and shows excellent customer service with a warming friendly personality. She is the reason we come back this specific IHOP all the time

A stall a great experience. The waiter was friendly and checked on my table a couple of times in case I needed anything else. The food was great. Only reason I gave 4 stars is because they have a keypad on the restrooms and you have to ask for a code to access the facilities.
