IHOP and Applebee’s Combo Restaurants Coming to San Antonio 

San Antonio is about to experience a new dining concept—IHOP and Applebee’s are teaming up to bring combo restaurants to the city. 

The first location is under construction on Marbach Road, with two more planned near I-10 and Loop 410. These new hybrid restaurants will serve breakfast, lunch, dinner, and happy hour all under one roof. 

Why This Matters for San Antonio Dining 

San Antonio’s food scene has been booming, with new local concepts, breweries, and chain expansions all around town. The IHOP–Applebee’s combo brings a unique option that offers something for everyone at any time of day. 

For families, it means convenience. For late-night diners, it means new options. And for San Antonio’s growing population, it means more variety as the city’s west and northwest corridors expand. 

Development and Real Estate Impact 

When national chains choose to expand into specific neighborhoods, it’s often a sign of population growth and strong housing demand. The new IHOP–Applebee’s on Marbach Road highlights the west side’s rapid expansion. 

Areas along Loop 410 and I-10 are also seeing heavy investment, with new housing communities, retail centers, and infrastructure improvements.
