Since arriving in Fort Lauderdale, Fla, from my last deployment in Dallas, Texas, I've been craving a vegetable omelette, pancakes with a side of bacon. I leave the airport and on my way to my hotel room I come upon an International House of Pancakes AKA IHOP. I drive into the parking lot off of commercial boulevard where there's ample parking. I enter the establishment and walk up to the hostess where I'm immediately seated. I'm a little concerned because the single table where I'm seated is next to a booth about 1 ft away literally. But I figure that no one will be seated in the booth next to me.. due to the CDC recommendations of social distancing. My wait person come over, a very lovely and professional Young lady. I basically spill out my cravings and she delightfully takes my order. The restaurant is bustling but there's social distancing and plexiglass dividers in use between the booths. Now here is where IHOP lost a star.. has nothing to do with the quality of the food or the stress-free jovial experience. .. the waitress who had the booths next to me attempted to seat a family of three directly next to me.. in that open Booth I mentioned earlier. Of course the family nor I approved of this attempt and the waitress could really care less (at least that was the perception I got from her attitude and body language), that there is still a pandemic going on and social distancing is highly encouraged through the CDC guidelines. At this point I continue to enjoy my breakfast of cravings and my jovial waitress, whom I've been awarded honorary boyfriend too... Beating out two of the local regulars whom promise to up their game in order to reclaim my current honorary position.. I would definitely go back for the IHOP experience as a food was scrumptious, there was no wait, the price, quality and quantity of my food order....-and my wait person is fabulous!

Read moreCame here yesterday for breakfast with my family for the $5 unlimited pancakes and for my mothers love for ihop. I noticed there was a huge change to the menu with new exciting menu items that I couldn’t wait to try! I ordered the spicy poblano eggs Benedict because I’ve had it as an omelette and really enjoyed it. I don’t understand the name at all when the omelette and Benny wasn’t spicy at all like there is zero spicy flavor at all. I can eat spicy foods and sometimes I can’t tolerate some levels but this you can’t taste any heat at all. Aside from that, it tastes like the omelette in terms of flavor but on English muffins and topped with poached eggs. The biggest thing I really hate and all restaurants that offer eggs Benedict is that the eggs are always so small. It’s like eggs ain’t expensive no more so start using large or even medium sized eggs please. I totally recommend this dish and I would go back. My waitress not going to mention her name comes off super fake with her trying to be nice and I really didn’t care much for it. To my surprise while how busy it was the service wasn’t slow from the time it took to sit down and place our drink and food orders and to receiving them. Im very impressed and they should keep up, but they should have more...
