Kind of a moot point now though since the closest Denny's to me is over 30 miles away and I have multiple IHOP's near me.

Now days I prefer Waffle House most of the time unless I want a omelet and some pancakes.

I think the food at Denny's is a bit better though and have lots of fond memories of being drunk at 3am with a crowd of friends at them :p

same here, back in hs and right after the rocky horror crowd would hit the nearest dennys. ihop wasnt even close, so we never tried to go there.

i gotta say tho, that new dennys grand slamwich is mucho tasty

Waffle House is not nation so you can't compare.

I don't care, Waffle House is large enough and it's better.

I came in here to say this.

Also, I've never been to an IHOP, but I love Denny's, so I voted even though I have no basis to compare the two.

That's okay, you chose wisely.

Yeah, I can totally tell the difference. Blindfold me and feed me, then I'll tell which is which.

That's okay, you chose poorly.

Waffe Huse (two lights are always burnt out on the sign) is nasty...and full of drunken pedophile truckers with netbooks.

IHOP is buffet. And MONSTAR BURGAR. (<- try that)

Denny's is not as close to me....so it loses.

This isn't even close. If you've ever had an Ihop omelet there is no way you would pick Denny's.

Focusing only on the breakfast menu, Denny's is far superior. At every Ihop I've eaten at around the country, the common theme seems to be that the food never looks like it does on the menu. Denny's, you can't say them same for them. The Ihop menu shows fantastic eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes and whatnot that fill the plate. Then you get your food, and its haphazardly thrown on there, and it looks like about half the size of what you're supposed to get. Denny's, not the same way. Anything on the breakfast menu is more than enough to fill you up to the point of vomitting. So Denny's gets the win.

And I'll never forget the time I had a hankerin' for some chocolate chip pancakes. Ihop was the only thing around, and what did they do? Throw a few measley chocolate chips on top of a plain pancake. :disgust: No, you cook that shit IN THE BATTER, assholes. Next time, went to Waffle House, huge pancakes with chocolate chips cooked right in the pancake. I was scarred for life by that horrendous Ihop experience.

You should have gotten the Smiley Face pancake. Chocolate chips inside and on top, plus whipped cream!!!!!

I will never eat at another fvcking Denny's ever. Hard fvcking pancakes, cardboard eggs and sausage and limp bacon. Two times of trying them in different parts of the country is enough for me.

I've gone to Dennys like 20 times during college. It's always late night food because we don't have a 24 hour IHOP nearby. It's terrible. Trust me. Those sausages are dried up nasty suckers. Whenever I can, I hit up IHOP when I want breakfast food. Trust me, everything at IHOP is better EXCEPT prices. But seriously, if you want to pay $5.99 for a piece of crap, be my guest, but for $2 more, you can get quality breakfast.

How is the food better than IHOP? No way. It's like In-n-Out vs. McDonalds. McDs has some decent stuff but it's NO COMPARISON when In-n-Out enters the race.

We have 3 Dennys within 30 miles, closest IHOP is in a different state. Every time we go down to DC we drive to Fairfax and go to the IHOP. It's so much better than Dennys it isn't even funny. This is only counting breakfast.

where did i say the food was better at either place? i said the rocky horror group went to dennys due to location and the new sammich rocks. i go to both, i like ihop as well as dennys. they both have bad days where their food sucks, the only difference is the sign and uniforms on the wait staff.

IHOP utterly destroys Denny's. Denny's couldn't even give me their food for free (as in, I had 0 desire for a free breakfast yesterday).
