pancake houses


looks just like an ihop, except the roof is green -- the color of money. welcome to the westport pancake house, ihop of CT's elite! westport, ct is so rich that they would never stoop so low as to have an actual ihop within its perimeters, hence the westport pancake house, or "whop" as the locals call it. everything about it is exactly the same as a regular ihop. flags from around the globe hang from the eaves, there are carafes of coffee at every table, and breakfast is served all day. except at whop you can find women with diamonds bigger than any home fry, old ladies draped in fur, and young j. crew models carousing over bacon and eggs. it's pretty great.
i've never gotten anything at ihop besides smiley faced pancakes so i'm not sure how the two compare, but i'm a huge fan of the food at whop. i get the stuffed crepes with homefries every time. they have a wide variety of fruity crepes, but their crepes stuffed with egg and cheese are the shit. the home fries have actual flavor before even adding tabasco and the coffee is bottomless. so if for some horrible reason you find yourself in fairfield county at breakfast time, and for some crazy reason you want to have breakfast without cocktails, come to the westport pancake house and restaurant!
