"👏👏👏 Have to say IHOP has the take out game down when it comes to packaging. The food arrived at the right temperature and the bacon was crispy because it wasn't "steamed" as it was kept separate from the pancakes. The 55+ Fresh Berry Salad had fresh and crispy lettuce. The fruit was of good quality and grilled chicken was warm and not dry. Way to go IHOP."
"Pancakes were cold and chewy. Very little test. Shake was extremely small, water cup size. Also, much later delivery then posted when I ordered."
