Dallas Love Field visitors can hop back and forth between breakfast and cocktails at the dual-branded Applebee's and IHOP now open outside security at the airport.
Driving the news: The Applebee's IHOP opens today between baggage claim and the TSA checkpoint to the terminal.
The restaurant is open daily from 6am to the last scheduled departure.
Zoom in: The restaurant has a section that looks like a typical IHOP and an area that will be designed like a regular Applebee's.
Dine Brands owns both chains and Fuzzy's Taco Shop. The company says dual-branded restaurants allow for all-day sales.
"IHOP shines in the morning. Applebee's thrives in afternoons and evenings," the company's website says.
Flashback: Texas already has an Applebee's IHOP in Seguin, which opened last February. The eatery offers both menus all day regardless of where diners are seated.
What we're watching: How people decide to refer to the mixed restaurant. Is it Ihoppabee's? Or AppleHOP?
We hope Applebee's adds a boysenberry cocktail to its bar menu.
