Low Risk

Public records show 45 inspections at International House of Pancakes — IHOP stretching back to 2010. Inspectors last stopped by on Dec 17, 2025. Low risk means the most recent visit produced few or no significant findings.

Recent inspections have turned up more issues than earlier ones, averaging around eight violations lately compared to roughly one violation before.

When inspectors have written things up, “physical facilities installed, maintained & clean” has been the most frequent reason, cited 30 times.
