Since 1958, IHOP® has been the place where people connect over breakfast, enjoy study breaks, grab a bite before or after sporting events, and so much more.
And no matter what menu items they order, there’s one ingredient that’s always constant a smile. We’ve seen millions of smiles over the years in our restaurants, and now shared in photos across our social properties.
In fact, smiles are so much a part of our culture that we changed our logo to include one. This is just one of the many fun and exciting changes you can expect from IHOP® Because we know the shortest distance between two people is a smile.
