The International House of Pancakes, or IHOP as it more fondly known, has been serving up flapjacks for almost 60 years. Over the course of the restaurant’s existence, its menu has grown extensively. Currently, IHOP offers eleven different signature pancakes, with an additional rotating seasonal menu. And with this many pancake options, it can be extremely difficult to choose which kind to chow down on for breakfast. Or lunch. Or dinner.
