We are pretty fastly approaching the Thanksgiving holiday…yes, you heard me, it’s only three short days away!

If you’re family decides to cook a full on meal, much like my family does, then that’s amazing! But let’s just say that you spend the holidays alone (always welcome in my home) or your family is just a tad bit untraditional and you don’t do the normal get-up, then try heading over to a restaurant nearest to you to bring in the family-oriented holiday with all of your closest loved ones.

This year, IHOP will be open. In fact, there are no sort of special hours going on, so head on in any time that you’d like! They will always be serving their regular menu items, but of course there are still a ton of different seasonal items that may go well for your holiday meals this year.

Is IHOP closed for Thanksgiving 2022?

Not sure what to get from IHOP besides their gigantic super sweet stacks of fresh pancakes?! Not sure what they even serve if it’s been a hot minute since you’ve even stepped foot into an IHOP? Take a look at a list of our personal favorites, as well as all of their holiday/seasonal offerings too!
