Love IHOP! The service was excellent! Food was good I had chicken and pancakes, chicken wasn't all that good I mean I guess that's because it's fried chicken and so I'm comparing it to restaurants who focus on fried chicken. Pancake were delicious 😋 also had their waffles those were good! As well as their French toast and let me say that I love French toast! I'm not saying all of that at the same time I'm talking about multiple visits. Don't want to think I'm fat lol

So IHOP has the Morning Star Chicken Tenders which are verified vegan. You can get them as is with fries or whatever side you want. They come 3 in a sandwich. The bun is not vegan. The condiments aren't vegan. They probably have a vegan bun but I didn't have time for the analytics. You can also order the tenders sans bun, so fingers and fries if you want. Ashley the server was cool AF. I was in a rush and needed something and she got Tee the chef (secretly I think he was also the manager) to expedite my order quick AF and perfectly cooked and out the door in under 10 mins. Might have been an actual 7 mins bagged and paid. Which is amazing. Now the hard part. The price is savage. They don't offer vegan cheese or mayo. These are basic staples and a profit leader with a low CoG so any product loss isn't expensive. The bun until I get confirmation isn't vegan. This is inexcusable. The worst offense an establishment can make is offering a vegan faux protein item surrounded by non-vegan accompaniments aka buns sauces cheese's etc. It's counterproductive and unfortunately off-putting. I gave a low score for atmosphere because I mean, unless you're old or drunk, IHOP no matter how many times they remodel, it always eventually turns dingy and just grimy. That's not to say it's not clean or anything. It's just pervasive the culture of their clientele and the food they serve. It's like a smoker smoking in the house and washing all their clothes every single day thinking that'll fix the problem but the walls are permeated with it and so is the furniture. Hope that clears any confusion up on that subject. They have 3 secret menus that are DoorDash online order only. I haven't tested it out. But one can probably try to order online and pickup in person if one is so inclined. Thanks Power Road IHOP day staff. You did a great job with what's available to you. Baby steps folks.

1st time, ever Dining at IHOP, we both had the 55+ Breakfast Sampler it was awesome, the portions were just right and our waitress Rosie was Fantastic and Very Friendly, our food was done perfect, each Saturday Morning we pick a different Restaurant to go to, been doing this since February, as Professional Chef, it really enjoyable to try somewhere New in the Gilbert/ Mesa and Chandler so far. Thank you IHOP Team. Hoot and Linda. WE WILL BE BACK.👍🏆❤💛💜🤍
