Went there for the first time to try this location, and we got it very well served. Staff very friendly and not rushing on u to eat pay and go. Food very well done, not to greasy or tons of butter in the pancakes,and just perfect like we ordered. Our breakfast was delicious and good, definitely we go back again. Also place is very clean, even the bathroom. Seems that’s is a good management taking care of it. The servers are very friendly and attention to detail. They definitely deserve a good TIP.

This was for takeout order. Food was terrible for the price. We had a big order. I got eggs bene and was disgusting looking. Hash browns satisfactory. Cinnabon crepes were tooooo sweet couldn’t eat them. My son commented how the food looked great in pics compared to food given. My husband didn’t say either way. For $96 for breakfast foods terrible and not going back. We’ve had bad past experiences. Parsippany where we used to live was the best. This place terrible. Had half of a half of eggs been and one bite of the crepe that’s it

Our favorite IHOP. We’re there at least two times a week.
Rachel, the manager, is the best. The waitstaff is great, too.
Leslie, Lisa, Christina and Kathleen, are the best.
The food is always delicious, whether it’s breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner served all day long.
The pancakes, what can I say, the best.

Not the best but not the worst. Staff was friendly but the food was kind of bas. I got the country fried steak and the broccoli was supposed to be sautéed in butter but came out bland and looked like it was nuked in a microwave. There are plenty of better ihops like the one on route 37.

The food and service at the Toms River West location has always been outstanding. We come to this IHOP a lot. However, there seems to be a new policy regarding the use of the app’s pancoins which are earned from everything we eat here thus the 4 star rating. Before, I could add an item from the pancoin wallet to an order such as adding a short stack of pancakes from the rewards. Now that has all changed. If anybody at the table orders an item from the value menu, then nobody in the party can use reward pancoins. This seems a tad unfair because what good are rewards if they can’t be used? I’m not sure if this is a new corporate policy or a local management decision but nowhere on the menu at this location does it state this. Other than that we will continue to come here, just a tad disappointed…..

Visited here with my children and mom. The food was very good and fresh. Lots of space in the afternoon so no worries about the kids annoying other diners. The server was really nice and we all enjoyed our meal

IHOP – Reliable takeout, decent dine-in experience.
This IHOP has become my go-to when I’m unsure what to eat. I usually stick to takeout, and they’ve always been accommodating and consistent. My orders are prepared on time, and the staff is helpful when I arrive for pickup.
I’ve also dined in once, and it was a decent experience overall. The place had a steady crowd, but they found us a seat fairly quickly. Service wasn’t anything over the top, but the waiter was polite and got the job done.
For a quick, no-fuss meal—especially when you’re in between options—this IHOP holds it down.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4/5)
Good for casual bites, flexible takeout, and a safe go-to when you don’t want to think too hard about food.

The server Christina who attended to us TRULY made the experience exceptional. From the moment we sat down, she introduced themselves with a warm smile and exuded a level of professionalism and friendliness that immediately put me at ease. She took the time to engage in friendly conversation, asking if it was our first time visiting or if we had any favorite items from the menu, which made us feel like valued guests rather than just customers.
What stood out the most was her attentiveness—never hovering, but always appearing just when we needed her. She anticipated our needs without us having to ask, whether it was refilling our drinks, offering a quick check-in to make sure everything was perfect, or even offering suggestions for items to try based on our preferences. Her recommendations were spot on, and it was evident she was genuinely passionate about the food she was serving.
She was also incredibly patient when I asked about customizing my order as I am a very picky eater. She made sure everything was exactly how I wanted it, offering creative solutions and always with a positive, can-do attitude. It felt like nothing was too much trouble for her.
Not only was the service top-notch, but the server’s personality added such an enjoyful touch to our meal. Her kindness and upbeat energy truly enhanced the overall experience, and I left feeling like I had received more than just great food—I had received fantastic service that made me excited to come back. Her attention to detail and ability to make both me and my husband feel special is a rare quality and one that made this visit unforgettable. I never write reviews but I was genuinely impressed! You should have more servers like her! Thank you Christina!

Stopped in for a quick breakfast and the food is always good but our service was better. Our waitress Christina was so pleasant. She was personable, quick and gave great suggestions. Her smile put me in a good mood for the rest of my day. I will definitely come back and ask for her.
