I came here with my family a few weeks ago and I enjoyed my meal very much. The portions are big, and the food always tastes great. I left feeling full and satisfied. The omelets are amazing, and honestly, I think everything here tastes great.

Food was good. I was able to get a nice, very full, 3 egg white omelet with spinach mushroom tomatoes and a pretty topping of Avocado slices.
(The old cholesterol needs to come down, so it was my best bet)
Decent size fruit cup.
Didn’t have that “cooked on a grill with layers of grease from a hundred other breakfasts” taste.
Also added the Fluffy French Toast, which seems to be my “latest craving – could eat it anytime food.” (I cheated. Just half the slice)
And the bread is “fluffy!” At least the size of 2 big slices of regular bread. Different & good.
I loved my waitress, Lizzie. She had the sweetest smile and was very attentive to our table and extras we would need.
The menu looks newer and it’s a nice upgrade they did. Also, a nice change from eating at another
Diner favorite a lot.
This IHOP on North Second Street/Oakdale, El Cajon, is my favorite one & I would recommend it.
It can be noisy when the kids are eating, but, hey, so is Disneyland!

Decent service despite messing up my order between two employees. They made up for the difference. Tables were dirty but it was busy during brunch.

Upon arrival, I was seated quickly. I switched tables a few times until i found one i was comfortable in. The table wasnt wiped down but they weren’t expecting me to sit there. The orange juice tasted off, possibley powdered, i personally didn’t like it. I oredered the lemonade sierra mist berry instead, and it was delicious. The food came quickly, the waitress was nice, even when I was super complicated. My silverware was dirty, and she gave me three whole sets of new ones lol. The food was delicious, one of the best french toasts in A 15 mile radius. For the low price, it’s definitely worth it. I had great french toast before but it was way more expensive than IHOP, so definitely a good value here. Personally, i felt they just smothered the thing in strawberry syrup and whip cream, when I really wanted more focus on the flavored french toast. But to each their own… Everything was not greasy or oily. The potatoes could of used some seasoning. I would eat here again, definitely for the low price. But if im willing to spend more money, I’d go elsewhere. Definitely one of the cleanest ihops. I gave the waitress a good tip, and the person i was with said the burger was delicious. Personally, the burger looked watery from the wet lettuce and tomato. Good friendly service. 7/10 for decent food at a low price and friendly staff

Made an order for pick up thru the ihop app at 10:12, app said ready by 10:30 . I arrived at said time and was told order was still being worked on, i understood since i could tell the place was busy. However i waited until 10:52 (40min for 10 pancakes) when i finally said something and thats when they told me that my order had ben lost in the system and that they were super backed up for mobile orders. Unwilling to wait anymore i decided to cancel my order. Hostes wwnt for the manager. Manager did not come out, did not apologize but did give me a refund. If i hadnt spoken up i would have waited another 20. If the kitchen is over worked perhaps turning off the mobile order feature would be a great idea. I ended up waiting twice what the app said. Not the best management.

Daaang from 5 star to 1 star! Tuesday 4:15 p.m. Waited 20 minutes to sit. ONE lady working alone. (Kind of Cranky) understandable. No coffee made. Been sitting for 10 minutes with no drinks. 20 more and no food. I can’t recommend to you if this is going to happen.

I had a great time with my family at this IHOP off the 8 fwy. The food and service was great, but there were lots of homeless hanging out in the back of the building. It’s not a safe place for kids to venture. It’s really really sketchy with tents very close and a hotel that looks really shady near it too. Be careful when going here.
