What's on the IHOP menu
The first IHOP, short for International House of Pancakes, opened in 1958 in Toluca Lake, California. Today the chain belongs to Dine Brands Global, the Pasadena company that also owns Applebee's, and nearly every one of its roughly 1,680 U.S. restaurants is run by a franchisee. That is why prices, hours and specials can shift a bit from one town to the next.
Pancakes anchor the menu, from the plain buttermilk stack to fruit-topped and chocolate-chip versions, and most combos pair them with eggs and breakfast meat. Beyond that you'll find omelettes, French toast, crepes, waffles, burgers and comfort-food dinners, plus a 55+ menu with smaller, cheaper plates. Prices below are estimated typical U.S. prices; check your restaurant's online menu for exact numbers.

IHOP allergen notes
IHOP's allergen page at ihop.com/allergens links an interactive nutrition menu with an allergen filter covering egg, fish, milk, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts and wheat, plus an ingredient search. Shared cooking and prep areas, including common fryer oil, mean IHOP cannot guarantee any item is free of allergens or gluten.
