    This one was a toss up on my rating. The food was really good my French toast could have stayed on the grill like 2 more minutes so it wouldn't be soft and a little soggy but good. I got a Milkshake that was spilling over and when I mentioned it instead of a saucer I got napkins to clean it myself. Nonetheless. My biggest issue was that ALL the employees came to the front to congregating and blocking the way. In addition they were cursing and complaining about tips and just in general messing up the family friendly environment. I think a little more management of staff and I could add one more star. Didn't get to check the bathroom thus visit because of the crowd in front of it. Update it was a little better than last time but the rating remains the music is so loud you can't have or enjoy a conversation. It's freezing in there and for some reason all people of color are directed to section next to the bathroom while other patrons are in the warmer right side of the restaurant. My waiter was wonderful but still an underwhelming experience.

    Great food! Went during their happy hour. It wasn’t that busy and I still had to wait quite a bit for my food. The burger was cold but I enjoyed their appetizer .

    IHOP has gone through many changes over the years. Fortunately the breakfast is still decent for quick stop in the morning. Omelette and Buttermilk pancakes are the best thing on the menu. Unfortunately and I’m not sure even how but the hash browns are frozen, under cooked and burned at the same time, it takes real skills to accomplish that. I always forget and order them and regret it as soon as I see them on the table.

    We ordered this through Doordash. My girlfriend got pancakes and I got an omelet. Not even 5 minutes after finishing my meal I was in the bathroom throwing up since the eggs were raw. There was so much cheese drowning the egg I didn't notice it until I was throwing up. Never order eggs from here.

    I was very disappointed of my breakfast ordered this morning ( avocado toast.). Avocado wasn’t fresh,one side of avocado 🥑 was black . So I took picture 🎥 and video. I ate one side of avocado only. I never expected from IHOP this kind of food. Anyway I am not complaining about waitresses. She was good. I gave her 20% tips even food wasn’t good.

    Today my Mother and I were looking for a breakfast place in a hurry! But why look any further than this particular IHOP!! Great choice the atmosphere was awesome, our server Justin was magnificent, he made sure we were okay the entire time!! As we ate our breakfast we noticed that not only Justin was great but the rest of the staff was just as polite and informative!! Definitely a place you want to visit with your family!! I hadn’t finished eating before planning my next visit so that I could bring my dad and son as well!!! Thank you for the GREAT SERVICE!!!

    I loved it here. The food was delicious. My family had lots of fun. I think some of the servers were new bc they brought me powdered sugar when I asked for a cup of sugar for my coffee.

    The pancakes are always good. Always! Some places are hit or miss, but the IHOP pancakes are fluffy and fresh every single time. I also like their breakfast burritos, or just scrambled eggs, bacon and hash browns. I've only ever had breakfast items no matter what time of day I've visited because that's why I go to IHOP in the first place. Also, the music at this location is really good. Even my teenage son comments on the great music selection.

    Friendly staffs and service. A bit crowded at this 9am. So many dine in space ~ 50 pax. Various menus. Pancake , waffle , breakfast , burgers or even custom make. Waffle is the best. Pancake also looks tasty and fluffy cause mouth watering. Technically every menu looks tasty. Spacious clean restrooms both male and female. Take out packages look sturdy. Belgian waffles smell so nice and perfect with butter. Chicken waffles also taste good. Hash browns is nailed everything together. Definitely visit again for another menus.

    First of all, I loved the harvest grain and nut pancake, that's what I used to get when I went to IHOP. When I didn't see it on the menu, I didn't want to go. But my husband convinced me that there would be a different menu in person lol. We went and they didn't have them so I got blueberry pancakes. In the pictures, it showed the pancakes had blueberries inside plus on top... the pancakes come in, no blueberries inside. The server said "it depends on the cook." 😒. Not going back as there is nothing on that menu that I can't make at home. Nothing special about those pancakes I had.

    My family and I decided to go to IHop after months. We when to this one and boy we enjoyed the food. My son who normally don’t eat actually ate almost all his food. We were pleased with the food and service. We will come again.

    My recent visit with my family was no exception. We savored a delightful meal that left us completely satisfied. One standout dish was the cheeseburger mashed potatoes, a unique and indulgent combination that surprised me with its flavorful blend. The rich and creamy mashed potatoes were the perfect accompaniment to the juicy and savory cheeseburger. It's a must-try for anyone looking for a twist on classic comfort food. Of course, IHOP is renowned for its pancakes, and they did not disappoint. The pancakes were incredibly fluffy, almost like biting into a cloud. They were a perfect canvas for the variety of syrups and toppings available, making it easy to create a customized pancake experience. The delectable sweetness of the pancakes was simply heavenly. Another highlight was the turkey bacon, which was a healthier alternative without sacrificing flavor. The turkey bacon was cooked to perfection, crispy and full of smoky goodness. It was a delightful addition to our meal. Overall, my family and I had a fantastic experience at IHOP. The cheeseburger mashed potatoes and the fluffy pancakes were a hit, and the turkey bacon was a pleasant surprise. If you're looking for a place to enjoy a delicious, family-friendly meal, I highly recommend IHOP. It's a reliable choice for classic comfort food with a twist.

    After a rough night spent with the crooks at the Howard Johnson next door, at least this IHOP was able to lift my spirits a bit. The only downer (and absolutely no fault attributed to this establishment) was that I wasn't able to get there until almost the height of the lunch hour. I had to endure a nearly ten minute wait to get in, and because the place was cram packed that day, what I had hoped to be no more than maybe a 15-20 minutes meal, ended up in there having to spend nearly an hour from seat to check out. The meal, just a Patty Melt deluxe and coffee, was good, though a little underdone. The service was cheerful and pleasant enough, but did give off the vibe of a sense of rushing. I would like to come back, maybe next time either mid morning, mid afternoon, or after 7 pm.

    I haven't been to an IHOP in a while and never went to the one in Clifton so I decidede to try it out. The food was really good and the hash browns were perfect. The waiter and staff was nice and friendly. I'll definitely go back.

    Came in on Veterans Day for a free stack of pancakes. It was very delicious and the service was prompt as well as friendly. Of course we had to order more food because the menu was so appetizing. We ordered with our eyes but our bellies paid the price.
