Place was crowded, even at 10:30am. The eggs Benedict were okay. The hollandaise sauce was thin and skimpy portion. Service was mixed. One server was desultory, even chewing gum while taking my order. The other server was friendly and smiling. read more

The fish and chips were surprisingly delicious! Did not expect that from an American diner. Can't wait to come back and order again. The waffles and hash browns were also very nice. Syrups tasted artificial but not a deal breaker. Coffee was satisfactory. Very friendly staff. Nice cosey modern ambiance. read more

IHOP - Everything was great - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

I wasn't sure what to expect here, since I had a bad experience at the other location in Richmond Highway, but this was actually really good for a weeknight. I hope it's the same for the weekends. There was a lot of meat in my Colorado omlette and the hot chocolate was good as always. I personally prefer my waffle more crispy, but it isn't bad. There was one server, so service wasn't the quickest, just okay enough to deal with. My only real complaint is that I was charged $1.29 for salsa that did not have any tomato chunks in it. The price may seem measly to the bill, but it's still annoying, considering that other IHOPS don't charge that. Seeing salsa just sitting under the counter in small sauce containers mean it isn't fresh. read more

Came here after visiting the beer hall across the street with a very large group, at least ten, and we were seated immediately. Our server was incredibly friendly and accommodating, as were the rest of the staff, we had a wonderful time! Our food was great, came out quickly and everyone left happy! read more

I normally do not like patronizing chain restaurants, but most of them are open late, and that lends some value to chains. While on vacation in Washington, D.C., my family and I took advantage of the memorials being open 24 hours a day and visited them at 2 AM until sunrise. This ended up being about six miles of walking in D.C.'s summer humidity. We were tired, sweaty, and hungry by the end of this twilight tour. Lo and behold, a chain like IHOP is open late/early! We stopped at this location and were more than satisfied. The staff was friendly, the location is clean, and the food was delicious! I had the spinach and mushroom omelet and hash browns. I stayed at a nearby luxury hotel with an omelet station, and IHOP's omelet blew theirs out of the water. Restrooms were really clean as well, as they require a security code. read more

IHOP - Spinach and mushroom omelette - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

This ihop is visible from my hotel window and less than a block away. I have found myself in this very hotel, same room, staying 7 days a time, at least 10 times over that last 2 years. Yup - I've stayed in this very room (for military / work), like 70-80 nights of my life. And this ihop just taunts me every time... and that's ok. When traveling, not wanting to break the bank, not wanting to change out of sweat pants lol, there's nothing better than a walking distance from hotel ihop. I don't care if it's 6am or 6pm - don't even act like yall don't like just a huge old stack of pancakes. Service was great. Place was clean. Menu was as full as always (they have so many pancakes lol). I can never get enough pancakes. Add some eggs and bacon on the side? Yuuup. Always a good value, and always friendly staff. Would and will go back read more

IHOP - a row of ties on a table in a restaurant - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

This IHOP was conveniently located near the subway station and walking distance from my hotel. Average IHOP breakfast food served. Service was lacking. Had to catch the waitress for coffee refills and for additional condiments. Coffee was also priced on the high end. Overall a underwhelming dining experience. read more

I came for a weeknight dinner, when this IHOP was fairly empty. Let me start by saying that the service was great. The staff were attentive and friendly. The dishes themselves were as mediocre as you'd expect. They tasted like food that has been carefully approved by corporate to be bland and inoffensive. The sausage was very salty, while the syrups (I loved them as a kid!) were overly sweet. The pancakes and scrambled eggs were fluffy but relatively tasteless. I liked the hash browns, which are obviously made from preshredded frozen potatoes. The decor also left a lot to be desired. The restaurant seemed clean and in good condition (again, props to the staff), but the ambiance was not great. There is a lot of faux wood and muted, somewhat dark colors. The lights seemed overly dim. The radio played a bunch of depressing songs (ie 'Because of You' by Kelly Clarkson). Some light muzak would've been much better! And maybe a fresh coat of paint to make the restaurant more cheery. You probably already know if you want to come to IHOP or not. This location is fine to feed your craving, as long as you've got realistic expectations about the food. This place is packed on weekends, so they're doing something right here. read more

Was not impressed with the food here. I generally like IHOP but found what we ordered disappointing. It's nice that there's free parking and the service was ok, but I don't think it's managed well. We were waiting to get seated and realized someone should have been taken care of first. Thankfully they seated him and then took care of us. The atmosphere is what you would expect; nothing remarkable. When we got our food, the orders were wrong (adjustments weren't made, like no pickles for me) and there was no flavor. None of us finished our food. Again, disappointed. I had the chicken biscuit sandwich. My wife had the avocado toast, which had large slices of avocado and the "toast" was just bread. And my son's spinach and mushroom omelette was missing the hollandaise sauce, which is why he ordered it. It was a sad experience, and we may never go to an IHOP again. read more

My husband, some friends, and I came in for dinner recently after a long day. The group included three active-duty Marines and myself -- I'm currently pregnant -- so naturally, we were all very hungry and ordered a good amount of food. Between the four of us, we ordered multiple entrees, some of which we ate right away and some we took to go. Unfortunately, our server made several uncomfortable comments about how much food we were ordering. At one point, they even told us we shouldn't order so much, which felt really inappropriate and unnecessary. It made me personally feel very anxious and self-conscious, especially since I already have a sensitive relationship with food. We were polite, we were hungry, and we were paying customers -- we just wanted to enjoy a meal without judgment. I don't want to get anyone in trouble, but I do think it's important for staff to understand that commenting on guests' food choices -- especially in a negative or judgmental tone -- can be really harmful. Everyone deserves to feel comfortable while dining out. We love IHOP, but this experience left a sour taste. The food was delicious just not the best for service read more

Great Service. Managers are always attentive. all the staff is great, Small place but super cozy. Keep the great Job

Came here on a Sunday morning around 11am with some friends. They told us it was a 25 minute wait, but we got seated in 10 minutes. The speciality at IHOP is the pancakes, and that was the best part. We got cinnamon roll, chocolate chip, and pumpkin pancakes. Our favorite was the pumpkin- it was a seasonal flavor, and not too sweet. Everything else wasn't great. The breakfast burrito lacked flavor and was extremely dry. The eggs and bacon as well. We usually go to IHOP for the pancakes, and next time will stick to those. It was packed inside, but the food came out pretty quick and the servers were very nice. Overall, it was exactly what I expected from an IHOP! read more

I mean, it's IHOP, lol. What can you really expect? I was a bit hungry while on a late night walk with a friend so we decided to stop by IHOP. Surprised to see that the 2x2x2 was $9.49 or $9.99 but whatever, cravings are cravings. I wanted 2 over easy eggs, 2 sausage links, and 2 pancakes. However, I got scrambled eggs instead, which is fine. I still liked them so I was okay with it. Surprisingly, the eggs were pretty tasty and weren't overcooked and dry. The sausage links were super sad (see picture). They tasted good but looked extremely disappointing. Pancakes weren't as fluffy as I remembered, but they satisfied my cravings. Overall, very average. IHOP is for degenerate hours! read more

IHOP - Protein Pancakes - Strawberry Banana - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Walked into establishment after a long day of traveling and work to grab a quick coffee. No one was at the front to greet incoming guests. After waiting, I decided to go to the restroom in hopes of someone being there once I got back to be seated. While headed to the restroom, the hostess took the initiative to jump in front of me to block me from walking towards the restaurant rudely assuming that I had no intention of being a guest. I gladly paid for the coffee I originally came in for but service made the coffee taste much less pleasurable than it should have. It's a terrible feeling to have someone assume the worst of you before even being greeted like a human being walking into a place of business. read more

IHOP - IHOP in Arlington - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

I had gone in on a weeknight (around 7.30 or 8 p.m.). It was almost empty with only about 3 tables occupied. I stood at the front and waited for about 10 minutes before someone came to escort me to a table. Then the waitress came another 10 minutes later to take my order. The food itself was served about another 10-15 minutes after I had placed the order. It was not warm- lukewarm at best. Waitress never came back after serving the food. I did not wait for her to bring me the check. Went to the front, paid my check and got out of there. read more

We are regular patrons of ihop but we won't be returning to this location. Echoing the other reviews here - management is a nightmare.

Started 2023 off right with a delicious IHOP breakfast at home! Ordered to go because there were long waits almost everywhere for breakfast and it was the perfect solution! Our order was ready in the 30 mins they promised, my pancakes eggs sausage and hashbrowns were incredible (they even got my hashbrowns extra crispy as I requested), AND they came in these nifty to go containers which separate the pancakes the different parts of the meal. That might have been the best part. Would definitely recommend ordering to go from this IHOP location - they made it easy and got everything right! read more

Your standard IHOP. I typically only come here at 2/3am in the morning. My go-to is the Smokehouse Combo- cannot recommend it enough (especially when drunk). Main issue is that the service is spotty. It takes a while for anyone to realize/stop by to see that you need more water. Sometimes food comes quick and sometimes it takes a while. However, this might just be due to the time of day at which I go. read more

This place is not really open 24 seven. You can't dine in until 7 AM. Said the girl who woke up at five and was hungry for breakfast.

Man, I forgot how good ihop was! This hit the spot so perfectly I almost want to be hungover again just to recreate the experience. Got an app sampler, chocolate chip pancake, monster burger (or something like that) and and breakfast platter (not all for me). Highlights- the burger was SO good. Better than most burger places around and I know that sounds crazy. Motz sticks prob fake cheese but perfectly ooey gooey, sausage little bit sweet and perfectly savory. Service was great, went on a cold Saturday night and it wasn't too busy. read more

We don't visit IHOPs often but we were in search of breakfast on a weekday. We ordered pretty normal stuff, but it was all tasty and expected quality for diner food. Our server was helpful - she suggested I order a combo that I was unaware of instead of two separate items so I could save money. The prices are reasonable, too, for DC area. The place is a little small, and some of the tables are cramped, but if it isn't packed then it's fine. I enjoyed their newer crepe options! read more

Just over priced and sad ! Senior discount is a joke ! Just a good place for breakfast! Chicken tenders over cooked! Good service

Have not stepped foot into an IHOP for decades and expected to face stacks of mediocre-tasting pancakes and no other choice when I came in with a group. Boy have things changed! Or maybe this specific IHOP is different, as they have a sign prominently stating that each IHOP is individually managed. The pancakes are still there, but the menu has expanded a lot beyond pancakes. The eggs Benedict were quite great. The servings were ample, and the prices are definitely reasonable. A very practical, economic choice for a very down-to-earth, satisfactory meal, very cheerfully served in our case. read more

This IHOP is an approximate ten minute walk from my apartment, but I've only ever ordered via GrubHub, which is a testament to how much of a lazy piece of sh*t I am. Anyway, since February, I have experimented with many of their menu items, the majority of which I have very much enjoyed. ~ Jr. cupcake combo: this is basically funfetti pancakes drizzled in icing. It's birthday cake in pancake format. Order it. ~ NY cheesecake pancakes: also delicious. Infused with gooey cheesecake bits that melt wonderfully when you warm it up. ~ Raspberry white chocolate chip pancakes: lovely. They give you raspberry topping to drizzle on top of it. Again, better when warmed up. ~ Red velvet pancakes: the first time I ever ordered these, they came with icing and were phenomenal. Every time since, they've come with some weird whipped cream nonsense that isn't helpful at all. If you get these, definitely request the icing. They're bland without. ~ Brioche French toast: pretty basic. Not bad, though, judging by the fact that it has appeared repeatedly in my GrubHub order history. I must have at least kind of liked it. ~ Banana crepes with Nutella: did not like. The crepes were way too eggy - it basically tasted like eating eggs with Nutella on them. I licked off the Nutella and threw out the crepes. All in all though, my experiences with this IHOP have lived up to my lifelong expectations of what IHOP should be (I grew up in an IHOP-less area and always dreamed of trying their famed breakfast foods.) This IHOP has not disappointed. read more

This ihop has been in my life a while. It's near where I grew up and close to my old high school. Basically I've gone there a lot. It's simple and it's open late. But the service has always been terrible. A while ago I swore I'd never go back. I'd spend $10-12 dollars for a terrible experience. Recently Arlington has undergone renovations and apparently ihop was on that list so I'd figure i would give it one more chance. Sadly ihop exceeded my expectations, it was even worse than before! My friends and I decided to go and we're 1 party out of max 5. Very empty restaurant with at least 2 servers available. We were seated at a table with forks and knives, then had to wait 20 minutes to get menus, and another 20 to actually place our orders. There were ants all over our booth and we had to use the straw wrappers as napkins (we were never given any). Our waiter wasn't table touching and never even asked how the food was. I worked at a restaurant where we all split tips and I interacted with tables more! When we finally finished our food it took at least another 20 minutes to flag down our waitress and beg her to bring us the checks. Hands down a terrible experience that I would wish upon nobody. And with prices similar to silver diner I can't see the appeal. And for those who might think it can't be that bad I've gone before and had a fly in my water. my server never came back around so I had to actually get up and get my glass switched. Anyway it was so bad I didn't get a picture of my food but I did get all the gross stuff that happened while I was there. The food was perfectly fine, it's ihop but the service makes it the diner from hell. Stay away. read more

This restaurant needs to clarify that there is NO INDOOR DINING between 11 PM and 7 AM. Only pick-up. This was lousy as I've never seen this with an IHOP ever. Granted staffing might be an issue but I was able to go over to Bob's & Edith's 24-Hour Diner about three miles away and had no issue at 5:45 AM. Just a heads-up to anyone thinking about stopping at IHOP in the overnight hours. You'll have to "hop" somewhere else. read more
