TONY TOURS THE TOWN - THE CONCORD NC CHRONICLES - IHOP - First Installment

When we first moved to North Carolina, we settled in Concord. After about three years, we gave Cornelius a try. Still later, we put down roots in Huntersville. In spite of living in all these different places, Concord remains near and dear to my heart.

That's why I decided to start a campaign for Concord. Every time I frequent a restaurant, movie theatre, park, etc, I will write a blog about it. My hope is that people from other parts of the country will read it and know how special Concord NC is.

Attached is the very first inststallment of my blog adequately named-

Tony Tours The Town - The Concord Chronicles

Perhaps one of the best places to eat in town is the IHOP located at 800 Cloverleaf Parkway, on the Kannapolis/Concord border. My mother-in-law is in town for Thanksgiving and LOVES IHOP! I took this opportunity to make this my very first blog for The Concord Chronicles.

Upon walking in we were immediately seated. The staff was friendly and eager to please. The waitress, named Yong, always with a smile on her face, brought us much needed coffee. She came back a few minutes later to take our order. Don't you love it when the waitstaff is attentive?

It didn't take us long to place our orders. Before we knew it, Yong was back with our food. I asked her to hold still for a moment so I could take her picture for my blog. She was happy to oblige me. What you can't see in this picture is that the camera's battery power was low and it took about a half a minute for the picture to take. Yong was talking through her teeth, saying," Please hurry sir, these plates are heavy".

I felt bad for her, but the blog must go on!

We ate eggs, bacon, toast, grits (yum), orange juice (IHOP's is the best). I had pancakes.

Tony's A1 You Must Try - the pumpkin pancakes - DELICIOUS !! I give them 5 out of 5 *****.

After indulging in a second cup of Joe, I grabbed a few Sweet N Low packets and Grams took a few of the coffee creamers and we went to pay the bill.

At the counter is a sign telling you about their breakfast special...perhaps I'll get that next time...

We enjoyed our breakfast here at IHOP immensely and would recommend it to anyone looking for a great meal at good prices.

Keep posted for future installments of Tony Tours the Town - The Concord Chronicles.
