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.
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!
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.
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
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.
Below average pancakes. I don't think I'll be coming back as there are better options else where. It's a plus they are open later but not 24/7, that only applies to take out.
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.
This place is such a solid restaurant, decent quality food for a cheap price in under ten minutes. The workers are all so nice, caring and hardworking. There's always beautiful decorations for the seasons too!
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!
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!
I had so many banana bunkers I didn't know what to do with myself. These pancakes were too cool for color tv. Heavens to Betsy, this protein had me actin unwise
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.

Still an average IHOP. The food is similar to others. Service is mixed. Some servers are attentive and friendly. Others make it seem they would rather not be working. Silverware constantly had hard water stains that needed to be wiped off with a napkin. 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

Ordered French toast and idk what I got instead. Plus they didn't have Pepsi which is fine but they just gave me lemonade and didn't offer to refund me. I would have preferred a refund over lemonade. read more

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 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
