I love IHOP. And the one near West Town had the nice waitress who always wore the "Jesus <3 You" button. She's worked there at least 13 years.
Waffle House always tears me up. I've had IHOP a couple times (sober) but i don't it was a while ago so I don't remember whether i enjoyed it.
I'm sure I'll ultimately ruin it, but this place is far from the detritus of the populist Vol sites. Moreso, it appears to be the preordained landing strip of the misunderstood and criminally over educated.
