If you've been thinking that fast-casual dining is starved for good breakfast spots, good news: IHOP has got you. The 63-year-old breakfast chain restaurant recently announced that it would finally debut its new restaurant concept, Flip'd, in New York City this July.

The location will also offer "lunch and dinner items, including the brand's Ultimate Steakburgers and Buttermilk Crispy Chicken," according to a recent press release.

Flip'd customers can order from counter service or from digital kiosks, and guests will also be able to pre-order online for delivery or pick up in a designated to-go area.

"After talking extensively with consumers in large cities across the country, we designed Flip'd by IHOP to deliver on what folks told us they want and need ... in a fast-casual setting, putting an emphasis on quality ingredients, speed, to-go, and delivery."
