IHOP is iconic for breakfast at all hours of the day. College students have famously frequented the franchise for fresh coffee and pancakes at random times.
But many don’t know IHOP has an extensive lunch menu as well. Is their lunch menu 24/7 as well?
What Time Does IHOP Serve Lunch?
IHOP serves lunch from 11 AM to closing time at most locations. IHOP operates from 7 am to 10 pm every day of the week, with some locations operating 24 hours a day. The IHOP menu, which focuses primarily on breakfast foods, is offered all day and night for any meal and without any restrictions (except for issues with availability).
