It was really fun spending time inside the IHOP restaurant in Long Beach, California, where I visited with my teenage friend. The place felt lively and exciting there in a way that teenagers would enjoy a lot. The food we ordered tasted so good that both of us kept talking about how much we loved it, which made the whole visit feel even more fun for us. By my surprise, the atmosphere felt completely relaxed and welcoming even though it was just a simple restaurant, which makes it perfect for teenagers who love hanging out and talking for hours. It is a familiar restaurant to me but I didn’t realize how much there was to enjoy at this location until I sat down and spent real time inside. I really appreciated how easy it was to have fun there without feeling rushed. I never doubted that the experience was going to turn out the way I hoped it would. I only visited this IHOP one time in my life before I made this review. It was one of the most enjoyable and relaxing places I’ve been to in a long time, and I would highly recommend that even teenagers go there because it gives them a place to eat good food, hang out for hours, and feel comfortable being themselves.

The wait time to secure a table in the morning was approximately 15 minutes, which felt reasonable given the busy atmosphere. Once seated, I was impressed by the exceptional customer service; the staff was attentive, friendly, and eager to ensure we had everything we needed for a pleasant dining experience. As for the food, it absolutely exceeded my expectations. Each dish was not only delicious but also thoughtfully prepared, showcasing a delightful variety of flavors and ingredients that catered to different tastes. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I was pleased to find such a diverse menu offering many culinary options.

The food is what you expect, nothing terrible. There’s plenty of shared parking with the shopping center.
Our waitress, Maribel was great! She was the only waitress and hostess available. Maribel made sure our drinks were topped off, orders brought out as ordered and in a timely manner. That included the 5+ other parties in the restaurant.

The service here was phenomenal honestly. They told me they’d have a wait list of 20-25 mins so I stopped away for a while, when I came back, the server recognized me and ran out to inform me a table was cleared and got me seated quick. Once seated, the service from there was amazing and very quick. Once we had left, my brother forgot his sunglasses on the table and we never realized it until one of the waiters came running outside and found us and returned the glasses. Honestly, I’d rare them 10 out of 5 if I could. God bless you all and thank you for everything. Keep on keeping on, always!

First-ever IHOP but I was so surprised by the taste of the food! Expected it to be more “plain”, but the omelette, chicken-pesto crêpes, double blueberry pancakes and classic eggs benedict with hash browns were all so scrumptious Portions were large, tasty, and the service was excellent too: the staff kept asking us whether we needed anything. Outside seating is available. Very good experience and would love to go here again!

My boyfriend and I had breakfast here. Since we look pretty young, it felt like the server didn’t give us as much attention as she did the older guests seated next to us. She took their food and drink orders right away, while we had to wait quite a bit. The food itself tasted good, but I didn’t like how the pancakes were slapped right on top of the eggs and bacon. Also, it was odd that the hash browns were cut into a rectangle shape which I wasn’t a fan of that presentation.

I had breakfast sampler, it had Sunny side up eggs, bacon, ham and fried potato. The hot chocolate was very thin and didn’t taste good at all. However, I loved butter pan cakes and Original Maple Syrup. My friends ordered Chocolate Chip and Blueberry pan cakes and they tastes amazing too. I gave 5 starts only because I ignored Hot Chocolate and tastes the amazing rest of the items.

I can’t believe this IHOP is still around. Bless it’s little heart. Haven’t been here in decades. Was in area and needed to kill some time plus hungry for some pancakes. I wasn’t disappointed. Had banana and strawberry pancakes with hashbrowns, eggs and pork sausages. Friend had the oreo waffles with the same as me but bacon. Eggs tasted artificial but looked real fluffy. Food was tasty and we gobbled it down with the exception of the eggs. Hashbrowns made like I requested, crispy. Service was cool. No complaints. Bathroom was clean but looked extremely old. Glad to see IHOP holding it down for the locals. Meal total was roughly $45

After an unexpected flat tire experience earlier my friend and I enjoyed a great meal at IHOP on Bellflower. Service was a little slow but the food was hot and yummy.

So been to Ihop in Dubai multiple times and loved everything on the menu.
But this was just bad.
Food was done with no care and looks did not match up to prior experiences.
Taste was ok but greasy.
Chicken bit tasteless and service was slow. The place was not even half full.
The place was just dirty and you felt dirty just being there.
Not sure if it is a bad area or just LA and the infestation of homeless people.
We stayed in Long Beach for 9 days and never went back.
