We decided to try brunch at International House Of Pancakes today and went to 
the one at 6th and Union in Lakewood. ( we live in Colorado, for those in the 
other groups )

The first thing that caught our eye was they no longer take checks. Whoopee. 
Automatically treat everyone like a criminal because you don't want to pay 
for a check service. We usually walk right out of places that do that, but 
were in the door already, were hungry, and figured we'd stay just once, then 
tell them why we wouldn't be coming back.

So we ordered and then found out that they no longer know how to make iced 
coffee, if they ever did in the first place. Duh-oh Homer! It's coffee over 
ice! ( it was hot in there so I ordered that ) Does not compute. They brought 
a cup of hot coffee and another of ice, plopped it on the table in front of 
me, and said; make it yourself. Then my other half had ordered an orange 
Slice. They bring a large orange juice. We were outa there!
Told them we may check back in a YEAR or so, to see if they change any, 
though we doubt they will. ( when a restaurant annoys us like that, we 
give them AT LEAST a year ) Big corporation, the economy's good, they don't 
give a hoot, they don't have to. 

We went instead, to White Fence Farms and had their chicken dinner, which was 
great. And they take checks. 

The place is a big tourist attraction apparently, and we tried them about a 
month ago and liked them. Huge place. Known for their specialty fried chicken 
dinners.

A very pleasant place in a garden setting, good food ( beware their little 
corn fritters, they're sinfully good and irresistible! ) and we could feed 
the ducks at their pond afterwards.  Nice relaxing idyllic afternoon, after 
we got rid of IHOP.
