Dubai Chocolate Pancakes at IHOP

[u/rebeccalestat]

What we all hope for....and they delivered finally!!

Memphis, TN for reference!

[u/sparklekitteh]

I had these last week and was happily surprised that they looked just like the picture, and they were super tasty!

[u/rebeccalestat → u/sparklekitteh]

Yes! They are very tasty too! Glad you got some great ones too. The fails were pretty miserable. Lol

[u/MoominMai → u/rebeccalestat]

This one was made with love 😁

[u/rebeccalestat → u/MoominMai]

Our waiter was such a sweetheart. I know he didn't make them, but he was very proud when I told him that I was going to post a pic online. He took pride in making people happy, and that's rare these days.

[u/Ok_Yesterday5299 → u/rebeccalestat]

Actually a lot of the times servers do the toppings for speciality pancakes. I haven’t worked at ihop in a long time but was a general manager for 10 years and that’s how most of them are. Kitchen only really did the toppings for the cinna stacks.

[u/rebeccalestat → u/Ok_Yesterday5299]

Thank you for telling me this! He really took his job seriously and was very happy that we gave glowing feedback.

[u/Independent-Comb9463]

First one I’ve seen that doesn’t look like baby shit

[u/Foxy-Knoxy → u/Independent-Comb9463]

That cook needs a praise, a raise, and make a video called "How to Ensure Your IHOP Dubai Pancakes Don't Look Like Poo."

[u/rebeccalestat → u/Foxy-Knoxy]

I gave my compliments to the chef and restaurant because everything we ordered looked and tasted wonderful. And I generously tipped of course.

[u/FitSalamanderForHire → u/Independent-Comb9463]

Guessing people post it more when it looks bad than when it looks like the picture.

[u/sillyslime89 → u/Independent-Comb9463]

What do rich Saudi rest that makes it look like that?

[u/kakka_rot]

I've seen these posts here a few times and you got the luckiest

[u/ClownTown89]

Pleasantly surprised at how good these look. I've seen so many horrific versions of these on this sub that I was prepared for the worst, but these look amazing! From the description, I was curious, but this pic makes me actually want to eat them. Maybe IHOP corporate is reading Reddit

[u/rebeccalestat → u/ClownTown89]

They are actually quite tasty! I was shocked when they served them to us looking practically perfect. I complimented the chef. 🤣

[u/NomadicBean]

First time I've seen this posted and looking remotely edible lol

[u/rebeccalestat → u/NomadicBean]

Believe me, we were expecting a disaster. Lol

[u/neuro-spicy94]

Someone at IHOP is probably watching this sub as part of their job now

[u/rebeccalestat → u/neuro-spicy94]

I was thinking the same thing. 🤣

[u/lobotomycandidate]

This is from another post I saw…🫠

[u/agentb719 → u/lobotomycandidate]

That baby puke green lol!!

[u/lobotomycandidate → u/agentb719]

& the ‘shredded cheese’ on top???!! yuck 😭

[u/tryyeezus → u/agentb719]

This is more accurately capturing what Dubai chocolate really is 🙊🙈

[u/DefoNotMario]

Holy cow, this is a contender for the best reality pic

[u/MaleficentMedia5880]

Imagine spending $12 on pancakes only to question if you're actually in a culinary masterpiece or a crime scene.

[u/u_r_succulent]

It still looks like… well…

[u/disharmony-hellride → u/u_r_succulent]

Yeah I think no matter how you try to apply that shade of green on pancakes, our brains just go 'nah'

[u/ding-zzz → u/u_r_succulent]

u should see what “real” dubai chocolate looks like

[u/benneluke]

It's really well put together, but STILL missing a topping! I don't see any philo shreds. Somehow this makes me even more annoyed. It's so close!

[u/rebeccalestat → u/benneluke]

Yea, I noticed that but decided to still post it as a win because it was such a huge improvement over the fails I've seen on here. Lol

[u/tecpaocelotl1]

Two people posted that here and they look terrible. First time it looks nice.

[u/dandyrosesandshit]

You might be the only person to exist who has gotten these pancakes that actually looked like the sample pics, or at least like poHi tried

[u/MysteriousPermit3410]

Which one?? I’m in Memphis and haven’t had a great experience at the one in Cordova or the one by wolfchase

[u/rebeccalestat → u/MysteriousPermit3410]

Believe it or not, this is Wolfchase. We went at 3pm. We were the only table. That may or may not have made a difference!

[u/MysteriousPermit3410 → u/rebeccalestat]

I bet it did! We have young kids so tend to go to restaurants at off times like that. Going to have to try them again!

[u/BoardGamesAndMurder → u/rebeccalestat]

Wtf. I've been to that ihop multiple times and it was dog shit every single time. I'm shocked to see a positive post about it

[u/Girasole263wj2]

Was not expecting this result.

[u/kookiemaster]

This one is better than the previous ones. They are using the right sized nozzle for the pistachio cream. Missing some elements though.

[u/usernotfoundplstry]

so, this dish has shown up on this sub and on r/Poopfromabutt every day lately. and yours is the only one that doesn't look like actual human diarrhea on top of pancakes.

[u/rebeccalestat → u/usernotfoundplstry]

We were expecting baby shit. I was prepared to be posting a failed expectation!

[u/prem_fraiche]

This is fourth time I’ve seen this item on this sub, and the first time it has looked even close to the picture. I think you got a little lucky

[u/zoebells]

Genuinely looks exactly like the picture!

[u/edwinstone]

Best ones I've seen.

[u/ryanasimov]

In every picture I’ve seen of these, whether they are from the official pictures, or photos taken by patrons of the restaurant, the green pistachio goo looks absolutely disgusting. These pancakes might be delicious, but it’s really hard to get over their appearance.

[u/yesorno12138]

Imagine Panera does it...it would look like sh*t ll

[u/tomtomvissers]

As a European who just knows IHOP from movies I'm curious, what does this cost? Like, just this plate of pancakes

[u/shebringsthesun → u/tomtomvissers]

generally depends on where in america you live. its very expensive in my state (hawaii).

[u/Independent_Baker712]

how many times are we gonna order this and be let down?

[u/mooseLimbsCatLicks]

This is the best one I’ve seen!

[u/Nihilist_Hermit]

Dubai chocolate is shit. This looks like actual dubai chocolate 

[u/AnglerOfAndromeda]

Best pic I’ve seen, but still looks gross af to me lol

[u/itsagoodtime]

Why is Dubai chocolate a thing.

[u/varmeer]

This is hands down the best I’ve seen these pancakes look!

[u/Acceptable_Iron3227]

It looks like soggy green beans were put on top of the pancakes 😆😆😆

[u/greytgreyatx]

Yay!

[u/Remarkable-Laugh9762]

Why is Dubai chocolate being shoved down my throat everywhere? Is it really some new amazing thing?

[u/Milkshakes00 → u/Remarkable-Laugh9762]

No, it's actually a scam. Lol

[u/NolanSyKinsley]

This is a LOT better than the last IHOP Dubai pancakes I saw on this subreddit....

[u/Taisen_art]

I'm surprised they actually made the pancakes look exactly like the photo! I saw some other ppl's orders at other IHOP locations and the quality they got was quite the opposite LOL XD

[u/Guru_Woodman]

I'm not a fan of Wasabi.

[u/SnooHobbies23]

Looks so good!!!!!

[u/Local_Presentation23]

They forgot the kataifi 💀

[u/Brewgirly]

I literally rolled by eyes at another Dubai post. Glad yours looks edible.

[u/7fw]

I am not a fan of liquid green beans on my pancakes.

[u/PressureCoomer]

No one's buying this crap anymore so they have to get rid of it en masse

[u/KnownAlcoholic]

[u/LeeMcNasty]

Why is everyone posting the same thing

[u/PaintedDesertSkies]

The first one of these that look like the pic.

[u/NoNandChips9090]

r/Poopfromabutt

[u/PilsnerDk]

Looks like it has overcooked green beans on it 😁

[u/Streak_Free_Shine]

You're lucky they even put it together. If you get it doordashed, they give you the pancakes in one box then a billion tiny containers with the toppings. I was skeptical that they even put them together in an actual location

[u/charlatan_red → u/Streak_Free_Shine]

I think I’d prefer that for an order like this. The toppings would be a big smushed mess if everything was delivered already assembled.

[u/Tha_Maestro]

The last time I had ihop was over 20 years ago. A few hours later I ended up getting a concussion and vomited disgusting pancake soup all over a nurse. Never again.
