Start the Day w/ New IHOP Griddle Melts

New IHOP Menu Items – Griddle Melts…

Thinking about it, I remember when IHOP was actually called International House of Pancakes and we just said iHop for short. While breakfast entrees are still a staple of the large restaurant brand, lunch and dinner have earned spots on the extensive menu as well. There’s a new option on the menu that would be perfect for any time of the day – Griddle Melts!

iHop Griddle Melts three varieties iHop Griddle Melts three varieties

I ordered the Spinach, Roasted Red Pepper, & Cheese Melt but without the red peppers (personal preference). There’s an option to get a whole or a half sandwich so I opted for the half with a cup of fruit.

My Griddle Melt was huge and pretty much looked just the like picture – how often does that happen? The sourdough was lightly toasted yet soft and the cheese was everywhere. Surprisingly, it was not overwhelming and the sandwich had an overall fresh taste. That must have been because these sandwiches were made-to-order, not sitting under a warmer for hours in the back like other breakfast sandwiches.

My husband and daughter thought it was good too but didn’t like it as much as I did. So, they left the rest for me to finish off. Whew, was that filling! I should have known better than to order a whole other entree. Guess I have lunch for another day. Actually we all had a ton of leftovers – I think we were a bit taken aback by the portion sizes.

Full IHOP meal

Anyway, I can totally imagine coming again and just a half sandwich + side being my full meal. Simple yet satisfying. Not bad for only $4.99 and a full sandwich is $7.99.

Griddle Melts currently available are:

  • Spinach, Roasted Pepper & Cheese
    Sautéed fresh spinach in a fluffy egg omelet topped with roasted red peppers and onions, melted Provolone, Parmesan and Pepper Jack cheeses on grilled artisan sourdough bread. Served with your choice of hash browns, French fries or seasonal fruit.
  • Western
    Smoked ham and sautéed peppers and onions in a classic omelet, topped with sliced ham, melted American cheese and served on grilled artisan sourdough bread. Served with your choice of hash browns, French fries or seasonal fruit.
  • Ham & Egg Melt
    Sliced ham and melted Swiss and American cheeses over a fluffy egg omelet served on grilled artisan sourdough bread. Served with your choice of hash browns, French fries or seasonal fruit.

You can check out the three custom Griddle Melts at www.facebook.com/IHOP or read more about them in the full press release. Which one are you drooling over?

  1. I think I would order the Ham & Egg Melt. You are right, the portions do look huge in your pictures.

  2. Ham and egg is one of my favorite combinations. I would definitely order that one. But honestly, they all look pretty delicious.

  3. Geez, all that for $4.99? I love IHOP and it is too bad you don’t see many around here anymore. I am lucky to have one off Stevens Creek so when I am in the mood for some pancakes with powdered sugar, you know where I am headed.
