For over 65 years, IHOP (International House of Pancakes) has been a cornerstone of family dining, offering more than just delicious pancakes. We’ve built a reputation as a beloved gathering place where people of all ages come together to enjoy a meal and create cherished memories.
At IHOP, we believe breakfast is more than a meal—it’s a moment to connect, celebrate, and savor. From our world-famous pancakes and hearty omelets to savory lunch options and indulgent desserts, our menu is crafted with love to bring joy to every table.
Our Story
IHOP opened its doors in 1958 in Burbank, California, founded by brothers Al and Jerry Lapin. Their vision was simple: create a welcoming space where everyone could enjoy a stack of fluffy pancakes and a sense of togetherness. What started as a humble pancake house quickly became a nationwide favorite, growing into a brand recognized across the globe.
Today, with over 1,800 locations worldwide, we continue to embrace our roots by serving high-quality, freshly made dishes that cater to every craving, at any time of the day.
