IHOP Just Debuted a All-Day Minions Menu to Celebrate the New Movie

— June 21, 2022 — Lifestyle
To celebrate the upcoming release of 'Minions: The Rise of Gru,' IHOP is rolling out a new All-Day Minions Menu.

Perfect for kids and adults alike, all of the new dishes on the All-Day Minions Menu are inspired by the tiny yellow cartoon characters. For instance, there are Ba-Ba-Banana Pudding Pancakes, which consists of a stack of buttermilk Pancakes filled with fresh banana slices and then topped with banana pudding, more banana slices, crunchy Nilla wafer cookie pieces, whipped cream, and Minion sprinkles. Another option is the Gru’s Evil Steakburger. This hefty offering starts with an all-natural Black Angus Steakburger patty topped with sauteed jalapenos, Serrano peppers, onion, hickory-smoked bacon, pepper jack cheese, sharp cheddar mac & cheese, and mayo, all served on a brioche bun.

All of the new Minions-inspired offerings are available June 21 through August 21, 2022.
