We went with the whole family one day to IHOP in Maplewood. It was terrible. The pancakes have a really awful taste. I've actually heard this from people who have gone there after I was there. The restaurant has an old smoking section (surrounded in glass) that they tried to put us in. I walked in and after 2-3 years of a smoking ban at least, this room still had a stench of old smoke in the room. It was disgusting. I said we had to sit elsewhere and the hostess wasn't thrilled with my request (we hadn't even sat down yet). The place is loud and you feel like you are sitting right on top of the people next to you. I wouldn't go here again.
