IHOP closed
 

Has anyone heard about the recent closing of the IHOP on 466 for fumigation?

Termites.

Adding flavoring to the bacon!

Oh no! Where are we going to get $8 pancakes?😂

Used to be well run franchises, now not so much.

The whole building is totally tented. Truck with numerous cannister parked there. It was open Easter Sunday.

Metro has great breakfasts. Pancakes pretty good too. Try it.

I like Cracker Barrel pancakes and they have better syrup.

I-hop not !

It happens sometimes. I’m glad they are taking care of their bug problem proactively.

It's where one-legged waitresses work:)

Eileen works there

When they reopen it will be the cleanest place in The Villages!

For how long?

You and BillyB1950 are hilarious! Thanks for the chuckles!

Never a fan, tried it a few times, never a good experience.

I remember when they were just National HOP...🙊

I was tempted to rsp with this one, but don't want to be "cancelled" by the Hopper Community.

Had breakfast there Sunday, place was packed. Everything looked clean. The food was very good, lingonberry crepes excellent. Saw no problems.

I'm glad to know it's just closed for termite fumigation and that they're handling it so aggressively by closing and tenting the entire building.

Been getting the 2x2x2 every time I've been there, my entire adult life.
Prior to that it was pigs in blankets.

:icon_wink: So does Peg..... :duck:

Wow. IHOP open on Easter Sunday to full capacity but closed and tented by 1:00 pm on Monday.

Seems to me that someone had to know on Sunday that they were going to be closed on Monday. So much for knowing you have a problem that needs to be addressed but putting public safety at risk.

If in fact the problem was termites, it's hard to imagine the public being in any danger while eating there.

maybe roaches

Bugs Everywhere
 

Went there once about a year ago. Bugs everywhere. Unrolled our silverware from our napkin and it was full of bugs. We started looking around and bugs were everywhere on the floor under the tables. We got up and left before they even brought our coffee. Never been and never will go back. Manager seems like he did not care when he was told.

The tenting and trucks indicated termite eradication measure. Nothing indicated roach control. Termite fumigation is a more common thing in the south. Termites will not eat your pancakes.

That's amazing. How were you able to get in? IHOP was closed for business in this location, starting in mid-February 2020 and lasting until the end of April/early May 2020.

Supposedly they are high in protein and fiber so good for you.

Been to IHOP regularly except during covid and never saw a bug. What did you see? Termites? Termites are a way of life in Florida that’s why you need to have your house checked every year.

He couldn't have been IN the IHOP during the time he claims to have been in it. It was closed during that part of the pandemic, because of the pandemic.

We love I-Hop's Harvest Grain and Nut pancakes.

And how do you determine the difference?

Reading the signs on the truck and tent. The truck lists the chemicals used. Simple. Or, like my neighbor did, he talked to the foreman doing the work.

I like the 2x2x2 at Darrells on 301. Real bacon, not see thru bacon and the pancakes are very good.

Been to the Darrells on 466 and agree pancakes are very good.

If it's still only $6.25 for theirs, I'll definitely try that combo next. We usually like Darrell's on Bichara Drive, though the last time was less than stellar. I get my eggs scrambled, and the cook basically just dumped the egg on the grill and poked the yolk until it ran over the whites. It was a big blob of rubbery egg white with hardened yolk on top. I had to send it back.
