Ihop - Rio Rancho

I've visited this restaurant several times in the early morning when it's less crowded. I really appreciate the menu options for seniors and the overall value. The food is tasty and the service is quick. The only thing that would make the experience perfect would be having softer butter for spreading on the pancakes. I often struggle to spread it evenly, and it ends up a bit fragmented. It's not a huge issue, but the butter should ideally melt. The prices are reasonable, there are many choices, and the specialties are excellent.

Update: We returned to see the finished new floor, and I must say, the service and food are even better! I think we've found a new favorite restaurant. We plan to visit them every week!

This IHOP is probably my favorite in the Rio Rancho Albuquerque area. It’s relatively new, which is a plus, and it’s always clean with a super friendly staff. We were seated right away, and our waitress was very attentive to our needs. The food here is consistently good and well-prepared. During our last visit, we decided to try the new Steakburgers, and they were fantastic—a great addition to the menu. The Brunchburger is a winner, featuring a beef patty, bacon, egg, hash browns, and cheese. The egg was perfectly cooked as well. My only minor complaint was that I was hoping for a stack of pancakes instead of fries/onion rings/hash browns. So, I ended up getting a cinnamon-a-stack alongside the burger, and it was fantastic. I also think a Brunchburger made with pancakes instead of a bun would be delicious! The mushroom and Swiss burger was also impressive; they used fresh mushrooms instead of canned ones, which definitely made a difference. Overall, I really love this IHOP!

Friendly staff, good was great. My omelette looks like the menu!
