The fast-casual offshoot was originally announced in 2019, but the opening was put on hold due to the pandemic. Fox Business previously reported that the first location opened in New York City in summer 2021. While Flip'd locations are designed with on-the-go options in mind, they also offer some indoor and outdoor seating options (depending on the location).
These locations offer classic IHOP options, along with grad-and-go salads, wraps, baked goods and beverages. Flip'd also offers lunch and dinner items, such as burrito bowls, hamburgers (and steakburgers) and chicken sandwiches.
