IHOP
About IHOP®
Since 1958, IHOP® has been the place where people connect over breakfast, enjoy study breaks, grab a bite before or after sporting events, and so much more. And no matter what menu items they order, there’s one ingredient that’s always constant — a smile. We’ve seen millions of smiles over the years in our restaurants, and now shared in photos across our social properties. In fact, smiles are so much a part of our culture that we changed our logo to include one.
This is just one of the many fun and exciting changes you can expect from IHOP®. Because we know the shortest distance between two people is a smile.

Our Philosophy
Come as you are.
There are no airs about breakfast. No need to dress to impress. Just like home, breakfast at IHOP® is where you can be comfortable, and 100% yourself.
Savor every minute.
Say goodbye to drive-thru meals. With so many menu items, you can relax, enjoy every bite, and be inspired to take on the day. Or night.
Go with the flow.
Texting is no match for actual talking. Especially when it’s over a fresh cup of coffee. We’ll keep the coffee flowing, so you can keep the conversation going.
Be good to yourself.
A wholesome breakfast gets you going. With menu options under 600 calories, you have more choices you can feel good about.
Get it anytime.
Breakfast just for breakfast? That’s one rule we definitely don’t follow at IHOP®—and neither should you. We welcome Breakfastarians with open arms.
