When we first walked in, we were seated quickly, which was great. However, after being seated, we waited about 10–15 minutes before the waitress even came to take our drink order. She was literally running back and forth delivering food, so it was clear she was overwhelmed.
When she finally took our order, things didn’t improve much. The orange juice was served at room temperature, and we weren’t even offered ice. I ordered chocolate chip pancakes but was brought regular pancakes instead. After I mentioned the mistake, instead of remaking them, she simply brought out chocolate chips and placed them on top.
To make matters worse, the bathrooms were out of service. It’s hard to understand how a restaurant can operate without working restrooms.
On a positive note, the food itself tasted amazing. The chefs here are top tier. My breakfast sampler was cooked perfectly and was honestly the highlight of the visit.
As a long-time IHOP lover, it pains me to write this, but my recent visit was incredibly disappointing. The service was excruciatingly slow, and it was clear why: there was only one cook trying to handle the entire restaurant. It was frustrating to watch, knowing how much potential this place has.
When my egg white omelette with cheese finally arrived, it was a total mess. Instead of what I ordered, I got an omelette loaded with spinach, mushrooms, cheese, tomato, and avocado. Not only was it completely wrong, but I’m also allergic to mushrooms and tomatoes! I tried to pick around it, but honestly, it was a struggle.
To make matters worse, the French toast, usually a highlight, was nothing short of “fried bread”—dry and unappetizing. It’s disheartening to see such a drop in quality. The lack of staff—no dedicated cleaners, busboys, or even enough servers—really points to poor management and a cheap approach to running a restaurant.
I’m truly disappointed and won’t be returning or recommending this IHOP to anyone. It’s a shame to see a beloved spot fall so far.
Took orders, provided drinks etc promptly.
My only criticism is that our 3 dishes were delivered in 4 stages over several minutes rather than being served altogether, it meant our dishes arrived hot but slightly staggered timing-wise, however Monica kept us updated on how long they would be.
However, at one point the person in charge of the kitchen began treating him very badly in front of us. Even though our table was the only one in the restaurant, he spoke to the waiter as if they were in the middle of a rush hour, in an aggressive way and even called him “stupid.”
It was very uncomfortable to witness this situation, especially because the waiter was being very professional, kind, and was doing a great job. I believe that staff who work with customers deserve respect, and situations like this negatively affect the experience for those of us dining there.
