IHOP #3028 – Harker Heights, Texas

The coffee was fantastic.

We weren't greeted when we entered, and we stood in the vestibule waiting for someone to notice. It was about 9pm on a Sunday night, and the restaurant wasn't close to being crowded. After several minutes, I stepped through the door of the entryway, hoping to catch someone's attention and finally, a cook in the kitchen saw me standing there and spoke to a server who led us to a table.
