IHOP is an abbreviation for the International House of Pancakes It’s an American based multinational pancake house that specializes in making breakfast dishes.

The restaurant chain is owned by DineEquity Incorporated, though 99% of their most popular restaurants are run by autonomous franchisees.

While the restaurant’s main focus is on light foods such as buttermilk pancakes, they also make omelets, Belgian waffles, French toast, and a selection of eggs. There are sections on their menu for lunch and dinner items as well.
