After coming here for the last 3 yrs, they've really improved their service and perfecting their signature pancakes. Finally, some cooks that know how to cook medium eggs! We'll continue to come to this IHOP, our go to place for breakfast. read more

2 years ago I went to this IHOP and it was the worst IHOP on the planet. They had no less than 12 young kids standing outside the kitchen jaw jackin about high school and other gossip. I waited 15 minutes for a cup of coffee. I never got my coffee nor any breakfast. This place has turned around immensely!! They now are very attentive and helpful! The staff is friendly and kind! The food is very good. I'm betting that management has changed, and it looks like for the better! So happy for this business! Service is very important! Still GREAT!! 4 May 2019 read more

This ihop was amazing, seems like they did some renovations to it since the last time I was here. Very clean and nice and bright! Staff were friendly manager was walking around making sure everyone was enjoying their food. Even the guy bussing tables was friendly and chatting with customers. I will definitely be back to this location again! read more

I come here about 1-3 times a month, definitely better than the one in holly springs. I always had good experiences up until today. Everything was fine up until getting food, now im not sure weather our waitress was having a bad day or not but either way it could of been handled better, thats just a part of working in this type of business; if you have a bad experience with 1 table you dont bring that energy to the next table. The food took twice as long then it usually does, waited roughly 40 mins. 2 tables that got seated after us got there food before us and its only 3 of us vs a family of like 6-8 and another table that had 3. Food came finally and it was cold, waitress didnt even acknowledge the amount of wait time it was and didnt really check on us until I told her the food was cold. Manager came and was able to fix the situation; got a fresh plate that was hot without hassle, food was still good tasting like usually. Hopefully it doesnt keep happening and it was just this once. This was my only bad experience with this ihop, will still keep coming here but hopefully its better next time. read more

I usually go here and have a wonderful time but today was not my best experience. The manager walked up ( lady in cheetah print shirt) and was giving me and my friends an attitude. For example, rolling her eyes and making faces when they were thinking about something. She then preceded to throw the menus on a wet table as we were seated, but our nice waitress dried it off for us without us asking too. Besides the blonde manager our time there was fine read more

This spot is great for late night or early morning! Love the varieties of pancakes. The service is always good. These folks literally run to you. And everything on the menu is super cheap. read more

everyone hates on ihop but it's so good! i go bananas for the minion menu! 10/10 recommend for a cheap breakfast meal with the family. Always great service and the food always slaps. read more

Ordered and waited 15 min. with no contact from any staff. Finally asked about our order and was told it would be another 15 min. Very poor service. Who knows about the food? read more

If you like side salads, this place isn't exactly for you. The corn tastes kinda like it came out of the can, and it probably did. We came on a Monday night, and it was slow there, but it still took a good 30 mins or so to cook the food. And the waitress, bless her heart, must be new or didn't want to be there. I was trying to decide whether she was a robot or not. I doubt a Turing test would've given an answer. She was attentive, but forgetful. She forgot the stores promotion going on, but she fixed it afterward. The double blt was good. The restaurant was clean, and everyone else was friendly. Just don't order the side salad with any positive expectations. A rabbit would've loved it. We still love you Ihop read more

This IHOP is almost always on the ball. With classic breakfast specials starting at just $7 the prices can't be beat. The waitresses here have been serving here for as long as I can remember and they are excellent, fast, and never forgetful. The food is average to awesome depending on the number of calories you would like to spend. My personal favorite: NY cheesecake pancakes. Yummmmm read more

I wouldn't normally review an IHOP. Actually to be honest I'm such a good snob I wouldn't normally go to IHOP but my husband and I were craving eggs and pancakes so we decided to give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised to have really good food aid great service here. A girl held the door for us and I watched another girl clean the windows. This IHOP is obviously being well managed. read more

This is one of the cleanest IHOP's around. I wish they stayed open later though. I've had a few issues with them screwing up our order, but the food is well prepared. I generally rate IHOP's based on their omelets and chocolate chip pancakes, which were both excellent. This is also the only one I've been to where you pay at the table. People are confused by this every time we've been there (including us). read more

I have been to this place several times in the years that I have lived in Apex. It has progressively gone down hill over that time. I went there last week and it was awful. I will never go back. The service was good. But the quality of the food was very low. My husband said the maple syrup was like flavored water. I had pancakes and they were basically flavorless and dry. The bacon was tiny and over cooked. I have to find a new place to get breakfast food. read more

I attempted to take the family to IHOP for dinner tonight. The place was maybe half full, but we were asked to wait 15 minutes to be seated (at ~7pm). So instead of seating us, taking our drink order and letting us know the kitchen was slammed and our food order would be delayed, we were asked wait in the lobby! Not the way to treat a customer! read more

Food was wonderful. Especially the waffles and eggs. Service was very slow! Took thirty minutes to get food and they forgot our appetizer.

This is the worst service and slowest service. When we tried to speak to the manager he stated food was on its way. 30 mins later we have our food. Manager wouldn't even let us speak and keep speaking over us. Save your time and money and go somewhere else. read more

Consistent, quick and delicious pancakes (cheesecake my favorite yum!) and their Breakfast sampler. Service is efficient and friendly. What more can you ask for. read more

Went to IHOP for lunch today. The food was wonderful but what really stuck out to us was our server, Madison. Not only was she prompt and friendly, but when our order was messed up, she apologized and assured us that our correct food would be out shortly. Sure enough, the food was out within 5 minutes and she even gave me (which I had the correct order) a new omelette since mine had been sitting out when waiting for the other order. After that, we were extremely grateful and full. Madison then approached us and told us that we would get that omelette complimentary! She went out of her way to do that for us. definitely a great experience and we will be coming back soon!! read more

been here a million times. Love you guys, but you never have amazing food. it's just a job done. Go to Charlotte, and eat at the Original Pancake Restaurant. Or go to the Metro Diner in Raleigh. The food is AMAZING. You can do that too! It's called, Management, and Food Quality. And they are building a Metro Diner a block away from where you are! Want to be like TGIF and sell Mattresses? Just keep it up. read more

This is our go to breakfast joint. Even though it's a big chain restaurant, we always have a good experience. If we're up in the morning and have the urge for a breakfast outing, this is usually our restaurant of choice. The staff is friendly and the food comes out very fast. read more

Always have great food and good service here. Pancakes are great as well as eggs and bacon.

I've been here several times and have had a decent experience each time. The food is good, the service is also good. Out waitress today was awesome. She had a sense of humor and was right on top of things. I would definitely eat here again. read more

3rd time at this place and each time has been identical. You don't wait long to be seated but once seated everything else takes forever. Servers are nice enough but rarely come back, don't take plates or refill drinks hardly at all. Today for a late breakfast it took 2 hours for 2 adults and 4 kids. Most of that wait was for food to come. All 3 times we have been it appears as though they need to add at least one more person for waitstaff and a few more bussers. The restaurant isn't very clean. Food is what you would expect for an Ihop but not worth the wait. read more

Arrived at 10:40pm for a late dinner. Party of 7. Host gave us a hard time complaining that they were closing at midnight. We turned and walked out the door to find a Waffle House where we would be welcomed. read more

The food is always good. The rating is due to the service. I have a special needs child who has very specific wishes when we go there to eat. The staff is always so accommodating. The staff makes my family so comfortable, this is one of our favorite restaurants. read more

Apex location is amazing! Very friendly staff. They gave my friend free food for his birthday!

Rachel was fantastic, but the rest of the waiters were also always nearby. Great for the kids too! Definitely will be returning since it is by far the cleanest breakfast chain around. read more

Maybe I just have bad luck, but every time I go to this IHOP, they actually forget about me. Last time I went, they took 20 minutes just to bring our drinks, and then forgot to take our food orders. They brought the food out an hour later, after all the tables around us had been filled with new customers. And they were kind enough to take a stack of pancakes off our bill...so nice -_- read more

Yooooooo...... I've been coming to IHOP for years. And it's an experience where u know exactly what to expect and it get. So I got up and went to IHOP around 2 in the afternoon before our daily errands. I walked in and sat down and immediately started hating saying " IHOP is soo unsurprising, its so middle of the road". So I order the Big IHOP Pancake Burger, the basics double meat cheese lettuce tomato and the kicker a pancake griddled to perfection with cheddar by Antonio, absolute magician with two spatulas and a grill. So the food arrives and as if all my hate went out the door and a mini orchestra starts playing. A textbook burger is served in front of me. Meat glistening with its natural juices. Bun and condiments perfectly assembled and in order. When I take my first bite, when I tell u the amount of flavor and juiciness that hit me all at once was nothing like I've experienced at IHOP before. The burger was pure bliss exploding onto my taste buds! On top of the pancakes on the side the biggest reason you have to go to IHOP. Best on the market!! #ShoutOut read more

Very good breakfast for the $ the staff was unbelievably friendly.

Decent breakfast chain. My husband and I went on an extremely busy Saturday before Christmas. The wait wasn't super long for a table. The service was friendly, but slightly slow. I'd recommend the classic breakfast crepe if you're looking for something savory and the red velvet pancakes if you're in the mood for something sweet! read more

The staff is nice, the food is what you would expect from an IHop, and the restaurant is clean. My family likes to go on weekday afternoons and share the 2 omelets for $15. This is a cheap meal for my kids and me to share. read more

This is the second time we have been to this location. This is the second time we have been treated rudely. Hostess at front was rude and sullen. She could barely muster up a sentence. After standing for several minutes, her only question was "two"? Seeing how we were the only people in the lobby and had been waiting while she was on the phone, it seemed obvious that it was just the two of us. Because we had to wait to be seated until she was off the phone, we missed the special priced breakfast by 6 minutes, which was not a big deal, however, it added to the overall frustration of the visit. Being a national chain, I guess you know what to expect, however, I think it's not to much to expect some customer service. I'm treated better at McDonalds. I've worked in the service industry and sometimes is sucks, but you put a smile on your face and you take care of customers. That's part of the job, if that's not your cup of tea, than find a job in a less interactive environment... Thanks IHOP for ruining a special breakfast with my child. Last visit for us, too many other choices out there. Oh and good was "OK"... Nothing special, sadly. read more

I typically get my orders To Go, and every single time I pick them up, parts of my orders are missing. Sometimes it's because they just didn't put the food in the bag, but frequently they just didn't make parts of the order at all. The most recent time this happened my husband had to plead with someone at the restaurant to give us the rest of our food because he'd gotten home and realized half of it was missing. The lady spent 5 minutes arguing with him about it and explaining why she couldn't have possibly made a mistake, and that we must be mistaken about what was on our order. Then the manager got involved and tried to claim we must not have gotten all our food because we probably tried to order something that was no longer on the menu (the missing items were scrambled eggs and hash browns). I agree with other reviewers who say the manager is defensive, confrontational, and unwilling to make needed changes in customer service. Twice, I called in my order but the server didn't even bother to send it to the kitchen. My husband showed up to get the food, but had to re-order and wait for it all to cook. The times I ate inside the restaurant, servers forgot to give me drink refills and ignored requests for things like straws. I haven't had nearly as many issues inside the restaurant as I've had with getting things to go, however. read more
