IHOP Menu Prices 2026: Full Menu With Calories

IHOP sells breakfast at any hour, and that single decision shapes the whole menu. Pancakes at nine at night cost the same as pancakes at nine in the morning, the combos that pair eggs, meat and pancakes on one plate are the best value on the board, and the $6 House Faves combos undercut nearly everything else a sit-down chain serves. This is the full IHOP menu with typical US prices and calories, checked across several states in November 2026.

One honest note before the tables: IHOP is roughly 95% franchised, so there is no national price list. The figures below come from a November 2026 multi-state restaurant check. A second November 2026 list shows higher figures for the same plates — a full stack at $11.99 instead of $9.49, a Breakfast Sampler at $17.49 instead of $13.99, T-Bone Steak & Eggs at $20.49 instead of $19.49 — so treat every price as typical, not promised, and expect your local restaurant to run $1–3 higher in big cities. Delivery menus add roughly 30–40% on top. Calorie counts also vary by source because stacks are counted differently; the nutrition section below states the conflicts rather than hiding them.

World-Famous Pancakes

Buttermilk pancakes are the base recipe and everything else is a variation on it. A short stack is two pancakes, a full stack is four, and every other pancake comes as a full stack unless you ask otherwise. Syrups are free — Old Fashioned, Butter Pecan, Blueberry and Strawberry — and they are not counted in the calorie figures; a generous pour adds roughly 200 calories.

Breakfast Combos

Combos put eggs, a meat and pancakes on one plate and they are the reason most people come here. Ordering the same three things separately costs several dollars more. Everything here is available all day, not just in the morning.

Omelettes

Every omelette comes with a choice of pancakes or hash browns on the side, which is why the calorie numbers run high. Build Your Own starts as a plain three-egg omelette and each filling is a small upcharge.

French Toast, Crepes and Waffles

This is the quieter side of the sweet menu and it is where the lighter options sit. Swedish Crepes at around 620 calories for four are noticeably lighter than most pancake stacks. Stuffed French Toast returned in 2026 after six years away — IHOP calls it the number-one requested item on social media.

Breakfast Sides and Add-Ons

Sides are how you build a cheap breakfast at IHOP — but check the combo price first. Two eggs, hash browns and toast ordered as three sides comes to about $10.50, close to a combo, so the combo usually wins.

Steakburgers and Sandwiches

The burgers are made from a steak blend rather than standard ground beef, which is where the Steakburger name comes from. Every one comes with fries, and you can swap them for onion rings or a side salad.

Lunch and Dinner Entrees

The dinner side of the menu gets ordered far less than the breakfast side, and it is where the lighter full meals live. Grilled Chicken and the salmon are the two plates that come in well under most pancake stacks.

Family Feasts

Family Feasts are takeout only and each one feeds four (the Mega feeds four to six). Per head they undercut ordering four individual combos by a wide margin, which is the point of them.

Kids Menu

The kids menu covers children twelve and under and each meal comes with a small drink. This is also the menu that goes free on Monday to Thursday evenings at restaurants running the offer — see the coupons guide for the details and the conflicting reports.

The 55 Plus Menu

IHOP keeps a separate menu for guests aged 55 and over, and plenty of people who qualify have no idea it exists, because it is not on the main menu and servers do not always mention it. The plates are smaller portions of regular items at meaningfully lower prices. Ask for it by name — not every franchise runs the full list.

Desserts and Milkshakes

Dessert is short here because most of the sweet menu is already breakfast. Milkshakes are made in house and they are thick enough to eat with a spoon.

Drinks

Coffee, iced coffee, orange juice and iced tea are bottomless, which is unusual for juice and makes the orange juice better value than it looks on the menu.

Allergen Information

IHOP publishes an allergen guide on its own site, and the broad strokes are: pancakes, French toast, waffles and crepes contain wheat, egg and milk; most omelettes contain egg and milk, with cheese adding milk; the steakburgers contain wheat and milk. Because recipes and fryers are shared, IHOP does not promise allergen-free preparation — if you have a serious allergy, tell your server and check the current allergen guide at your restaurant rather than relying on this summary.

Nutrition

For the full calorie picture, see our IHOP nutrition guide, which lists every pancake, combo and omelette with the conflicts between sources stated. The short version: a plain full stack runs 520–680 calories depending on how the stack is counted, syrup adds roughly 200 calories per generous pour and is never counted on the menu, and the Smokehouse Combo at 1,560 is the heaviest plate on the board.

Hours

Typical IHOP hours are 7:00am to 10:00pm Monday to Thursday, 7:00am to 11:00pm or later Friday and Saturday, and 7:00am to 10:00pm Sunday, with the busiest mornings between 9am and noon on weekends. Some restaurants near highways, hospitals and city centers still run 24 hours, and a number stay open on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day with shortened hours. The 24-hour IHOP is not as common as it used to be — many restaurants cut overnight service in 2020 and never restored it, so check before a 3am pancake run.

Reviews

IHOP’s ratings vary sharply by restaurant, which is what you would expect from a 95%-franchised chain. Yelp samples checked in November 2026 run from about 2.2 stars at one Austin location (268 reviews) and 2.3 in Brooklyn (183 reviews) to 3.5 at a Fairfax, Virginia location (245 reviews). The through-line in the reviews is consistent: the pancakes are the reason to go. One Fairfax reviewer wrote, “The pancakes, waffles, French toast, bacon, and hash browns are tasty,” while another summed the chain up as, “Nothing special, a good reliable breakfast place.” An Austin reviewer put it even more plainly: “Stick to the pancakes and you’ll be okay.” Service complaints — slow food, rushed servers — are the most common negative theme, and they cluster at specific locations rather than the chain as a whole.

Conclusion

Order the 2 x 2 x 2 if you want the cheapest complete breakfast, a full stack if you want the thing IHOP is famous for, and a House Faves combo if your restaurant runs one. Check the price at your local IHOP before you go — the franchise spread is real — and ask for the 55+ menu if you qualify, because nobody will offer it unprompted.
