Better known as IHOP, this chain in Middletown, NY is a delightful experience! Great food and great prices! Fast and attentive service with the exception of the host that was no where to be found. A waitress about to take her break filled in and sat me and my dining guest.



The menu













The first time I went I had the Hawaiian pancakes breakfast. Banana pancakes with macadamia nuts, syrup and whipped cream. 2 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 sausages, 2 pieces ham, and hash browns. It was quite filling!








My next visit, I had the Holiday Pancakes (Pumpkin) with the full breakfast of 2 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 sausages, and hash browns.

This Filipino restaurant is located on the second floor with a small bakery downstairs. Great home cooking and prices! Instead of a turo turo where you point to dishes that are sitting in heated restaurant pans, you order from a menu and the dishes are cooked to order. Service could be more cordial but you come here for the food and not the decor.
A view of the menu can be found here.





Small tables line the spare wooden floor with a waiter or two walking about taking orders.
