They've always had food other than pancakes, and they're only doing this for, like, a month. Everyone can calm down. I think the problem is trying to be a burger place to begin with. We already have a number of burger places and they all have a certain indoor look that IHOP does not have. It just never screams burgers to anyone. That, and they've had burgers on the menu for decades. Hell, I think that's what my brother orders there everytime we go there, but he's got anxiety issues and refuses to eat anything but bacon cheeseburgers or chicken tenders at any restaurant. So what...they're offering more than the 3-4 they've had on the menu? It'll take a hell of a lot to think this marketing ploy is going to lead to a sudden burst of sales.

It just never screams burgers to anyone. They just want people to try their other meals. Literally, that's all. Maybe....but anyone should know that's not how this works with restaurants.

If IHOP’s burgers are anything like their breakfast they’re in deep shit.

Should have just posted a tweet saying "IHOP, now with burgers"
You never do stupid shit like mess with your brand name.

I've been going to ihop every two weeks for 8 years now, never had a single pancake. Their burgers are fine. People getting upset or annoyed by this need better perspective in their lives.

My brother's picky too, he'll only go for a burger or a turkey sandwich at restaurants. Although he also likes pancakes, and we both really like the IHOP pancakes.

IHOP's patty melts are delicious. Their breakfast is fine but they've got a good menu in general. It is pretty funny watching everyone on Twitter clown them, though.

This is part of an elaborate plot to subvert Denny’s as a way of setting up the final show down with Bob’s Big Boy before finally fishing off Friendly’s and we all know it.

I love IHOP's philly cheesesteak sandwiches, and I thought their breakfast stuff wasn't too bad at all. Pretty good place, IMO, just the closest one is really far away so I don't go there much.

In retaliation, Scott Steiner announced he's changing the name of his Shoney's to "Shoney's doing him an egg".
