I Hop will serve breakfast all day and they are "the norm" in dining out at chains, the food is basic and it all taste the same, but some are better cooks and do better than others and or the waitresses can make or break the monotony of such a place, so yesterday at lunch we stopped at I hop's, http://data.gointranet.com/cgi-bin/unitloc/ihop/locator.cgi?cpage=main.html&cu=sterpstra&cl=668
so when I say that our little waitress was really tops I mean it she was as if she were a family member and she seemed to blend right in with us and she was very kind. (This shows me she works where they have good re-pore with one another). Now I must admit the cook there was also good my eggs were perfect just the way I asked for them and my pancake were done and yet tender, they didn't over load my plate it was just right, I left content and they have good coffee. We had the Rooty Tooty Special and you get three kinds of meat-bacon/ham/sausage and 2 eggs any style, hash browns,all on a platter plate and then two pancakes the size of saucers with really good topping we choose strawberries. All this was a good price of $21.28 including tax and a pot of coffee for two people. So I just want you to know I will be back there the place was nice and clean too. The only two things I could find wrong was the handicap parking was on the side of the building and you had to walk a long way to the front door which was not good if your handicap and it was regular parking in front of the door. The other thing was the coffee pot had a large crack in front and a little dirt where the plastic bottom meet the top, it was coming apart, I guessed they couldn't afford a new pot. But the rest was great to say the least, Here is another link to some news about the stuffed french toast you may enjoy.
