IHOP's famous blue roof has dotted the American landscape for decades, having first popped up in Southern California in the late '50s. There's a reason for its success. The multitude of pancake options and bottomless pitcher of coffee almost always hit the spot. But if you're not in a breakfast mood, there's a big menu of burgers, sandwiches and American-style entrees, like steaks and pot roast. Lately, IHOP is even trying for the light side, with salads and a grilled tilapia plate.
