Service was fast, food was good, and Tina was great! 5 stars! Everything was clean and efficient

Autism friendly waitresses! We visit IHOP weekly and Anahi always remembers our orders and makes sure we get the best price for my kids' picky eating habits! :) Absolutely love our breakfast visits here. It's fairly peaceful and quiet when we come in the mornings, and the staff will go an extra step to see these kids smile or talk to them about things they love. read more

The place was absolutely filthy and the management was just terrible. Went there yesterday and we waited ten minutes just to get seated: furthermore, it took about another ten minutes for the beverages and the server could not even tell me what kind of fish they used for the fisherman's platter. Moreover, they did not have country fried steak. They did not have any bussers and the place was dirty and short staffed. Absolutely awful management and overall should receive the rating of zero. Beyond awful. read more

This has become our go-to breakfast spot! Our server Charlie always greets us with a warm welcome and makes sure our orders are delivered with the freshest ingredients and to our specifications. If you're looking for something to eat and you want a hearty meal, stop by this IHOP location and ask for Charlie, she's the best! This location is always clean and the staff are very friendly- read more

Jaylen's service was impeccable and she was incredibly kind. My food came out delicious

Server is nice. Should it be called the international house of pancakes or patience? They tested my patience at every step of the way. I found a hair in my food, DISGUSTING! Management REFUSED to take it off my check! Absolutely unacceptable! Staff is plagued by incompetence stemming from management! read more

IHOP - HAIR IN MY HASHBROWNS - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Athens, Georgia

They gave us excellent service! I don't understand why it doesn't have that many people anymore. They were fine with all the customations my family and I requested! Especially our waiter, she was really good able to remember all our orders to a tee! On top of it all they gave me a free ice cream because of my birthday. Thanks everyone! Also the cheesecake strawberry pancakes are soooooo good like you need to have them if you haven't already. And of course they have the cool lighting fixtures to add on to the ambiance read more

Let's face it, it's an ihop but... One of our orders was wrong, when we brought the problem to the manager, Malik? he immediately agreed and offered to remake the item or remove it from the bill. He then double checked to ensure it had been removed and brought coupons for free kids meals. That is customer service. We'll go back. read more

Food was immaculate. Got the New York Cheesecake Pancakes, with a chicken biscuit and fries. Let me tell you, those fries are 11/10. Chicken biscuit? Bomb. 10/10. Pancakes? Fire. Moist. Picture perfect. 12/10. Service on the other hand was also amazing. Our server did an incredible job of checking in on us, and making sure we were satisfied. Ambiance was on point. Beautiful vibes, with great decor. Music was crisp. 13/10 recommend coming here ! read more

Nephew, Josiah, wanted me to take him to breakfast at IHOP. No kid menu. He wants a big boy breakfast. Really nice young guy seated us and sweet lady waited on us. The food came fast and was very good. Quiet family atmosphere allowed us to catch up and enjoy some family time. read more

Food was subpar at best. Waitress had the personality of a ticked off Rottweiler. Don't even consider this place. Only reason I stopped because my granddaughters wanted to eat here. Won't be back here ever again. read more

Manager Trey did an amazing job being that they are SO short of staff right now. One of the best burgers I've ever had. He treated us like family and made sure we had everything we needed. From one Trae to another thank you!! read more

This is the biggest iHop in Athens, GA, not to mention it's right off of the highway and next to a very large Walmart, in a bustling college town. Expect it to be crowded all the time. Service & Atmosphere My visit was no different. The wait wasn't long for my party of 3, but it took a while for our server to greet us. She was as speedy as she could be considering the crowd. She took our drink and food orders at the same time as well. Service-wise I'd give this iHop a solid 4. Food & Prices However, I'm going to have to remove a star for my meal. I ordered my go-to, the Chicken and Bacon Cheddar Waffles. I've had this meal at 2 other iHops and they've both been consistent in terms of presentation and taste. This one was not. Instead of having a Cheddar Waffle (the cheese is normally baked into the waffle), I was given a regular waffle, with a large amount of sprinkle cheese scattered about my waffle. I was also given chicken patties instead of the normal chicken strips that come with this meal. This lack of inconsistency also spilled over onto the taste. I could tell that some of the flavors were lost due to the shift in ingredients / it not being prepared the same way. The people of Athens are definitely missing out on a wonderful meal because of this inconsistency. Price-wise, this meal is the same as the other locations (~$11). I will say that the other members of my party enjoyed their meals. They ordered the French Toast combo and the Chicken Fajita Omelet. Overall I'd say that if you're visiting this particular location, go ahead and order something that has been tried and tested. I'd recommend one of their Omelets. read more

IHOP - Cute Valentine's Day painting (outside) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Athens, Georgia

We called and placed our order for pick up. 2 eggs benedict and an order of plain pancakes. The girl walked out and said the one eggs Benedict was cooked and ready but they were out of English muffins they asked what else they could put the other Benedict on biscuit etc. After a 40 minute wait we got home (3 min drive) stuff was missing and the food was ice cold and not good, no syrup or butter. It all went into the trash. It tasted not ok and with the one Benedict sitting out for about 30 minutes, I can only assume that's why. Hope I don't get sick from the few bites I had. Clean restaurant though. lol read more

For being short staffed, I assume, we were very pleased with the cleanliness, how quickly we received our order and the very pleasant staff. We unfortunately work late hours and very few locations are open by the time we get off. We didn't arrive until less than an hour before close and there were only two employees working. They had 4 other groups already, and two more that arrived after us. We were seated immediately, and my hot chocolate was perfect! Our order arrived quickly and everything was hot, exactly to order and the French toast was delicious and surpassed my expectations. If the server we had couldn't have been more than 18 but he was sweet, attentive and took care to make sure we were happy and didn't make us feel bad about how late we were there. We checked out 2 minutes before close but never felt rushed, never felt ignored and despite one of the other groups that came in after us treating him very rudely, our server remained sweet and friendly. If you're hungry late at night and want real food and pleasant staff, I would definitely recommend this IHOP. The only reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 is because the prices were pretty high and because whomever schedules their staff needs to work a night or two to better understand their needs. No hiring signs so I can only assume they just schedule barebones at night. read more

Service was slow, waited over 15 mins just to get drinks. Professionalism lacks with manager and employees.

Don't even consider this place to eat! You'll wait between 5-10 minutes to be seated and then you'll wait an hour for God Awful cold food!!! I'm sure there's only one cook for the whole place. The only good thing about my experience would be the Waitress, she's just serving what's given to her. I was going to go with that this place is subpar but It's Worse than that. Save your money and go somewhere else. Literally have a stomachache writing this. I really wanted to enjoy this and not to mention it was a Lunch date for Mother's Day. read more

I assume IHOP is going out of business. At least the employees are trying to help close it down. We went there for dinner last night and it was pretty much a ghost town. There was one woman working the few tables that folks were at, but it appeared there wasn't anyone else there. We were seated and waited for at least an hour before getting any food. We watched several groups of people come in and then after waiting for someone to appear, they just left. This happened over and over again. We eventually saw someone from the kitchen come out briefly, but got a drink and disappeared into the back. We eventually got part of our food and part of our drinks so we ate and watched even more folks come in and then leave.... Nobody ever came to seat them. When we were ready to leave another woman appeared and checked us out. She maybe was the manager, but sure wasn't working the two hours we were there. If I was the owner, it probably would have been a good idea just to close the doors, because the manager sure wasn't interested in running the shift or wanting to help out the one worker there. The one waitress was very very slow, but she was trying and she was ok. The food was ok, but it was a ghost town and the few folks who came in just left, we probably should have gone somewhere else. We won't be back to IHOP anytime soon. read more

We had an amazing experience. Manager Trey was amazing and treated us so well even being so short of staff. The food was so good. Would definitely come back when we are around Athens again. read more

Ten minute wait in the lobby on a slow day. Witnessed a nasty verbal exchange between waiter and managment. Poor service and looks like my credit card was charged twice. read more

Don't order to-go from here! I did and it was the worst iHop experience ever. I ordered two 2x2x2 breakfasts. I asked for eggs over medium - these came completely liquid and soaked the other food. Gross. The eggs in the second meal were supposed to be well-done, but were also liquid. The second meal was missing the bacon. This was really disappointing, especially for such a simple order. I won't be back. read more

This ihop today is off point. The service was terrible. It took a hour for someone to get us drinks, then another 15 for food. Top that with, when the food comes out we have overcooked cupcake pancakes that we did not order---original pancakes is the ones needed cook. At this point we just get up and leave all the food at the table. Food and service no good today. read more

me and my family went to ihop for my nep graduation and we waited 1 hour and thirty just to get food and 30 mins to get drinks then my 11 yr old cosuin found a hair in his Mac n cheese and they said they would give him a new plate and they never came back and he told them AGAIN AND THEY NEVER CAME BACK SO THEN THEY SAID THEY WOULD GIVE US A REFUND AND NEVER DID IM NEVER COMING BACK TO THIS TRASH FATHERLESS IHOP read more

WOW!!! What a difference!!! I used to stop coming as often bc it was ghetto but now I'm happily surprised to see a bunch of happy new faces. My server told me they were under new management and even brought the new owner over. Super happy to see the change in environment. Def will be back. Tres leches pancakes are the best! read more

Saw employees inside restaurant. Parked car. Walked inside through unlocked open doors. Employees hid for 15 minutes while we heard them/called the phone/asked them if if they were gonna serve any pancakes on THE national pancake day. Cuz guys, I just wanted some pancakes on national pancake day. Left. As leaving parking lot in vehicle, 2 employees walked out. Thats it. Worst national pancake day ever. Wish I could give 0 stars. read more

My grandkid wanted the Grinch pancakes. You can see the pitiful difference between the promotional ad and the real deal. The same happened with the Grinch hot cocoa. I also ordered a side of bacon and got two bite-sized, shriveled pieces of bacon. My $1.89 side was literally two bites. We were there well over an hour, which is too long for breakfast with two little kids. We did not have to wait to be seated or to have our orders taken, but the kitchen took forever.

Reaaallly wished I would have looked at the reviews first! This place is the absolute worst. Almost 2 hours for food. Only half of the tables are full. Overheard one of the servers saying they are short staffed cause people don't want to work nowadays. Pay them then...people want to work but not for shit wages. Irregardless...it was a complete waste of time. Just do yourself a favor and avoid...save yourself the disappointment read more

I remembered that when I used to come here I would always order the Fiesta Chicken Omelet with Nut & Harvest Pancakes. Now when I come here I always order the Sirloin Beef Tips, Scrambled eggs with cheese, Buttermilk pancakes, and I wash it all down with hot steamy coffee. The Beef Tips never let me down. Cooked to perfection, not too tough and not too chewy, with a sauce that seems to use Worcester sauce as it's base (mixed with something I can't put my finger on). Plenty of sauteed onions and mushrooms with fluffy eggs (oh and I forgot that it also comes with Hash browns). I think I order this b/c I'm never disappointed; I know that it's going to taste great every time no matter which IHOP I order it from :) My server was nice and fast. Our drinks were never empty and he kept bringing me more creamers (b/c I use plenty of them) without me having to ask him. I was also impressed with the upgraded holders for the syrup. They didn't get sticky like the old ones and it made pouring a lot easier. Speaking of syrup you have four choices that you can choose from: Old Fashion, Blueberry, Butter Pecan, and Strawberry. Some may think that IHOP only has great breakfast food but I have heard that the country fried steak will give a 4 Star Restaurant a run for it's money. All-in-All I've never really had any complaints with any of the IHOP locations. Just beware that it's super busy in the morning hours on Saturdays and Sundays. People pouring in to get help soaking up liquor from last night at the club and the rest are either there before or after they go/come from church :) You may have to wait to get a seat, but even when it's packed I haven't found that it takes away from the service at all... read more

Walked in "how many?" Two "It'll be 15 to 20 minutes" Why? The place is literally half empty? "We don't have any clean tables" That is COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE Now I know why it was half empty. read more

IHOP - Empty tables not cleaned up - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Athens, Georgia

Waited 40 minutes after ordering for my cold breakfast. Parking lot is almost empty at 9:00 am. That should have been a red flag.

When I treated my daughter and her roommate to Sunday morning breakfast, I thought "ugh, we'll be waiting forever." Despite the crowded lobby and smallish dining room, we were seated rather quickly. Each of us had some combination of eggs and specialty pancakes. Breakfast was great, and service was friendly & efficient. I find most IHops to be consistently good. This branch is no exception. read more

First off, it was slightly busy. We sat outside and they just skipped right over us until we went back inside and then we were seated, I ordered coffee and it never came!!! Worst service ever! read more

Worst service! The wait was super long and unorganized! We waited for our drinks 40 mins max. And for another hour! Don't recommend.

Walked in and service was trash. Got our order, literally toast an omelet and few pancakes. Waited an hour for the waitress to come and say they lost the check. Places wasn't even busy. Awful place read more

Good clean place. Allways good food and good service. Big plus is that you pay the server at the table. Much more of a restraunt feel. I'm rarely disappointed here. read more

IHOP - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Athens, Georgia

When you walk in to this location a loud door bell goes off in the back. My wife and i entered , the sign said wait to be seated. We waited and waited. No one showed up to seat us. I reached back and opened the door again to activate the doorbell. A minute later we hear a annoyed male voice say "I'll be right with you. " A lady who had been waiting longer than us said "I have no idea what's going on here. I've been waiting quite a while for my call in order. " No one ever came up to explain or seat us. I will not be bothering them again with my patronage. Oh, we looked through the glass as we were leaving. They had no customers at al at 4:45 PM. read more

Called to place a to go order. Was placed on hold. I hung up after waiting for 7 minutes. Tried to call back and received an error message each time. I gave up and called the Baxter street location and was taken care of immediately. read more

Last time we went and everything was fine, good even. I was surprised because I hadn't been to an IHOP in 3 years and hadn't been to this IHOP in over a decade. I have always had nothing but horrible experiences and would rather eat at Waffle House Cracker Barrel or Denny's for breakfast, but there's no Denny's here and we wanted pumpkin pancakes. We decided to give it another shot because of how good everything was last week. Unfortunately it seems those experiences are few and far between and today I was reminded why IHOP lost my business years ago and won't get it again. We walk in in the morning. It's Saturday so I understand it's going to be a little busier than usual (I never see cars here) but the parking lot wasn't full and there were only a couple of families waiting. I noticed literally none of the tables in the middle were occupied, about 7 or 8 tables. The hostess greeted us coldly and I told her we had 2 people. She said it'd be 15-20 minutes and I told her I'd be fine with eating at one of the open tables in the middle, thinking maybe the families waiting had requested a booth. She said I had to wait for the people ahead of me to be seated, which I was fine with but a little confused why there were so many open tables yet there was a wait. I said "hmm looks like there are a lot of open tables so I was confused" and she SNAPPED at me and said in an aggressive hostile tone "because I haven't seated them yet!" I was taken aback and told her was no need to get an attitude and I was fine with taking our business elsewhere if they didn't want it to which she said sarcastically have a nice day. We left and won't be back. Been a long time since I was disrespected like that in a food establishment and I'm reminded why I don't go to IHOP anymore. The food is fine but as long as you have such disrespectful rude employees it doesn't matter. Also seems like someone wasn't doing their job if there were 7 open tables and it was a 20 minute wait for 3 parties of people. We went to cracker barrel and it was a 70 minute wait so we ended up at Waffle House in watkinsville where we should have just went in the first place because it was a fantastic experience. You won't ever catch me in an IHOP again. read more
