Hi Shirl,
I'm with you, Girl -- I too love ihop. Their coffee is THE BEST COFFEE IN THE WORLD! No kidding; I used to buy their ground coffee beans by the bag-full to make at home. It's just absolutely incredible coffee. However -- those "good ole days" are over forever.
Their pancakes are fabulous also. I can't make them as good at home. But you must know what's gotta be in them -- they are, after all, BUTTERMILK pancakes! And they serve you a LOT, and they're absolutely HUGE. I'm amazed that anyone can eat one serving in one sitting.
Hubby and I like to go to ihop; it's a treat for us, and I don't want to deny either of us that enjoyment. So, when we go, we always order ONE meal and split it. I give him the sausage and eggs, and I take the pancakes.
I order the PUMPKIN pancakes and ask them to hold the butter and syrup. While I don't know what's in them, I do believe they replace the buttermilk with pumpkin. The pumpkin pancakes are so good -- very sweet -- and do not need any butter or syrup AT ALL, so I eat them plain.
I do not order coffee; I ask for hot water and pull out my "Tummy Mint" tea bags.
While it's not your usual bill-of-faire, I leave there with a not-too-full tummy, and I don't have any problems afterwards. However, I really limit my fat for the rest of the day (because, as I said, I don't know what they put in those pancakes besides pumpkin).
Hope this helps.
Bev.
