The Ultimate Late-Night Mashup: First Dual-Branded Applebee’s and IHOP L.A. Spot Lands in Inglewood
If you have ever suffered through a midnight existential crisis trying to choose between a stack of buttermilk pancakes and a basket of boneless buffalo wings, Los Angeles has heard your prayers. The very first dual-branded Applebee’s and IHOP L.A. area restaurant is officially opening its doors later this month in Inglewood, creating a 24-hour sanctuary where breakfast lovers and bar-and-grill loyalists can finally coexist in peace.
Located at 4410 Century Blvd., this ambitious mashup is operated by the Ashoori Group, a veteran franchisee looking to redefine the casual dining experience.
A 24/7 Culinary Crossover Event
This isn’t just two restaurants sharing a parking lot; it’s a fully integrated culinary hybrid. Diners can mix and match from both iconic menus all day and all night. Want IHOP’s signature fluffy short stacks alongside Applebee’s classic burgers and appetizers? You got it.
To sweeten the deal, the dual-branded Applebee’s and IHOP L.A. location will feature exclusive crossover menu items that you cannot get at standalone stores. Foodies can look forward to trying:
-
The Buffalo Chicken Omelet: A spicy, tangy breakfast protein powerhouse.
-
The Ultimate Breakfast Burger: A towering masterpiece that bridges the morning-to-night divide.
While Dine Brands (the parent company behind both names) tested this concept internationally and in select U.S. markets like Texas in 2025, this marks the first time the hybrid engine is hitting the high-traffic streets of metropolitan Los Angeles.
Grand Opening: Free Pancakes & Block Party Vibes
To mark this historic foodie milestone, city officials and the Ashoori Group are rolling out the red carpet for a massive community celebration.
The grand opening kicks off on Tuesday, June 9th at 9:00 AM with a formal ribbon-cutting ceremony. If you are willing to wake up early, the rewards are sweet: the first 200 guests in line at 9:00 AM will receive a free short stack of IHOP pancakes.
The celebration runs from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM and will feature a live DJ, family-friendly activities, and appearances from local community groups. Whether you are there for the free breakfast or the late-night ambiance, Inglewood’s newest 24-hour hotspot is about to change the way L.A. does comfort food.
