Restaurants in Seguin

The first IHOP—the dream of founders Al and Jerry Lapin—opened in 1958 in Toluca Lake, California, and was originally dubbed the International House of Pancakes. Since then, rapid expansion has led to myriad milestones across the company's colorful history, from introducing its modern IHOP acronym in 1973 to its 1,000th restaurant opening in Layton, Utah, in 2001.

Today, the company stands strong with around 1,500 locations across North and Central America, each one an enthusiastic dispenser of pancakes, french toast, and tables constructed entirely out of bacon. Though IHOP is known as a bastion of breakfast, it also stays open during the day and into the evening, delivering lunch and dinner as well.

The brainchild of three siblings, The Sultan Cafe maintains a resoundingly low-key vibe. Inside, clusters of overstuffed chairs surround small tables piled with Mediterranean-influenced appetizers and meals, and the sweet aroma of hookah hangs in the air. The Sultan Cafe also plays host to a variety of special events, including DJs on Thursday nights, college and military promotions, and prizes for the most convincing impersonations of the caterpillar in Alice in Wonderland.
