A: Local institution? Check. Great classic? Check. Provides a quintessential local food item? Check. Place to take every first-time visitor to the city? Check. Lots of history and culture? Check. But at the end of the day, it's basically a french fry sandwich. You get some coleslaw, and no more than a garnish of meat if you order something sliced (and not a generous portion if you order anything else). 90% of your meal is pretty decent french fries on above average white bread. Look, I'm glad Pittsburgh has some culinary identity, and having a classic food item you can only get here is awesome. But compared to a Philly cheesesteak? A Chicago pizza? A New Orleans muffaletta? Pittsburgh has a long, long, LONG way to go.

A: As a community resident we were excited to have a new restaurant. The hours they are open are really bizarre. They are open a few hours, then close, then reopen - a real PIA. We purchased a Groupon and ordered lunch. We showed the nice waitress prior to ordering the Groupon and ordered 2 burgers @$14/each. Very expensive for a burger, but with the offer, we could afford it. After we ate the manager refused the Groupon stating we could use for dinner only. What's the difference? We're still getting $30+ dollars in food! The price for what we ordered is exactly the same at dinner. Yes, the burger was good, but will choose this establishment NEVER in the future just because it's overpriced and the managements unwillingness to accommodate the customer is probably why it's always empty in there. We will take our business in the future to Verrado Grille a couple blocks away where they have delicious food and accommodating staff.

A:
New menus at ihop means higher prices! Wonderful. It seems that everything on the menu has gone up by at least $1.00 across the board. I had a Country Omelet with a side of Red Velvet Pancakes. The omelet was uninspired. It had no flavor whatsoever. Thank God for ketchup! The red velvet pancakes were chocolate pancakes with red food dye added into them. THey were brown on the outside & an odd shade of dark pink on the inside. They also were flavorless but they had some sickeningly sweet cream cheese flavored paste drizzled all over them. Then the stack was topped with whipped cream. Whipped cream? Really? Maybe that goes over well with children but for an adult its a little creepy. The accompanying dinner theater provided by other diners & the sweet tea were the highlights of the meal. The other strange thing about iHop is that the food never comes out hot, only warm. I think the grills are just for show. I think that they warm everything in an Easy Bake oven under a 10watt bulb.
