This might be a the last time I give the Ihop on Rosedale a try. Friendly service wont cut it. I can't even swallow the food pass my throat. This is by far the worse food experience I ever had. I don't even think the food quality is even good for my dog. read more

My wife and I read that kids under 12 eat for free. What it didnt say is that kids eat for free after 4. Needless to say it was an expensive one star lunch. read more

My server tried to drive up the tab. Here is the deal. I ordered two kids meals and two adult meals. Our party of four included two children (10&11) and two adults. The server brought out four adult meals. When I asked about this she pointed out that it was "extra" food as if I had won a prize. I pointed out the orders were for children and told her directly that no child needs a large glasses of milk and refills. A child milk is fine. She didn't listen and brought two massive cups filled with milk per child. Yuck. When she brought the bill, it was rang up for 4 adult meals. I asked her to correct the mistake and to only charge us for what we had ordered. The kids couldn't even finish the meals and didn't order that large of portions. She said she wasn't allowed to change it. I made the snap choice to not tip. I directly told her that her tip would be applied to offset the cost she range me up for. This isn't NY. If your going to get paid a wage, understand that a tip is for good service and is 100% optional! If a server wants to play with my income, I can do the same. Won't be back. read more

I frequent this ihop because I'm obsessed with pancakes but I don't really want to spend an hour cooking up all the batter I make when I do it at my house. The reason I do ihop over Denny's is for the better breakfast menu (flavors on top of pancakes, waffles, French toast, crepes, etc) and for the service. I have had great service at this particular ihop every time I have gone and never left hungry! The food usually comes out super fast unless you come on a busy day or busy time of day. I personally get the seasonal pancakes or chocolate chip every single time. Omnomnom. read more

Walked in after another group, no greeting upon initial arrival. Waited, waited, waited.. Oh! He acknowledged the group that came in after us! Another party of 5. He finally asked how many and who was here 1st, (we were & he would've known that had he bothered to look up & greet us since he's, ya' know, the HOST!!). Then he seats the party before us & after us. Yes, AFTER US.. same # of people. Then we were left all alone. In the lobby. Finally, another gal came and seated us, apologized. This visit was not good, other than the super attentive waitress. The food was o-kay. It all tasted like it had been sitting there a while. My pancakes were not good at all: (pecan-banana). We won't be back for a while. And I'm mad about that because we love breakfast for dinner.... read more

IHOP serves good tasting pancakes. I never noticed that they were open 24 hours. That's cool to know for those after midnight cravings. They are a fine choice for breakfast in Bakersfield. The food is not as good as the locally owned places, but for a chain restaurant they are not bad. We have always received good service here and the place is clean and orderly. I have ordered regular lunch and dinner entrees a few times, but I did not like them at all. So now even when we come for dinner, I still order breakfast because "Breakfast time is all the time at IHOP"!! Pancakes are my favorite breakfast food. IHOP has many varieties to choose from. Honestly, I have not tried anything that I did not like. From the stack of 5 plain buttermilk pancakes to the Rooty Tooty Fresh N' Fruity, it's all good. So come for the breakfast. If you are here for lunch or dinner, then still order breakfast!! read more

I ordered curbside pickup online, arrived, called the restaurant to notify them I was outside. Waitress told me I had to park and come inside. Definitely not the definition of curbside pickup... read more

This place is going downhill since the owner sold out staff is unpleasant they always mess up your orders food quality is not that great I don't recommend this one at all even my kids don't like it read more

IHOP - Mmmmmready for my pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - BAKERSFIELD, California

I've never felt so rushed by a server to order, eat, and be gone. I went with family to eat here. Upon our arrival the server was very pushing for us to order right away. I could see and feel her frustration when we told her we needed more time to look over the menu. We were also waiting for another person to join us and wanted to wait so all of our orders could be entered at the same time. The server was so pushy that we ordered before the person we were waiting for could join us. The server was not in the slightest way polite to any of us throughout our time at IHOP until it came down to the time to pay her. When this time came she transferred into the sweetest server trying to crack jokes and humor us. We gave her the money to pay for our bill and included extra bills and told her we did not need any change back. She then returns back telling us that we overpaid and returned to us the change as we insisted to keep it but she gave us back the extra money we gave her. We then get up and leave from the table. The server thought that we had all left the IHOP and went over to the young girl at the cashier desk to gossip about myself and other people I was with. The server did not notice that I was in the lobby area (indoors near the cashier table) waiting for the people I was with to return from the restroom. The moment she realized she was speaking badly in front of one of the customers was the moment she stopped her gossiping and went to the back towards the kitchen. It was highly unprofessional to be gossiping and not realize a customer is in front of you and also to be gossiping about customers. The whole time we were there we were polite to her say please and thank you regardless of how rude and dry she was being towards us. In the midst of her talking badly about us to the young lady at the cashier table, she herself even said that we were so nice to her. I'm not sure what this servers issue was that day we went to IHOP but surely I nor the rest of the people I was with will be returning. We should have requested for the male server that was serving at the adjacent tables to be our server because he was more hospitable. read more

stopped by for some breakfast and was seated within ten minutes . The restaurant was very clean and waitress was super friendly. Breakfast was okay other than pancakes not being done all the way :( read more

It took an hour to get our food and there was a long blonde hair in the French toast. The manager never came to our table to ask if we were happy with our visit and nothing was removed from our bill. We even had to pay for the French toast with the hair in it. read more

Delicious! I was in and out within an hour ! Great server ! Fast service and waiter came real quick.

I was dying for some breakfast for dinner. Hubby loaded our family of 5 into the car and off we went. We ended up paying $60 (after the Kids Eat Free discount was applied) and getting incredibly slow service, no refills on drinks or the unlimited pancakes. Not worth the price tag. I'm sure my husband tipped our server (because he's a good guy), but it took so long for anything to be brought to the table that my kids couldn't handle waiting for our server and I had to take them outside before she even brought boxes. At least the nutella crepes I ordered had plenty of chocolatey goodness. Next time, we'll just stay in read more

Not good. Service was super slow. The best part was the manager who tried to help. Our food had to be sent back, because the pancakes were undercooked. Our waitress forgot about us. The salsa which was not good cost $1.29 extra which our waitress didn't tell us about. read more

Wanted to take my girls to grab a bite before it got too late in the eve. Saw the ad on tv about their Elf on the Shelf food menu specials. I ordered the Omelette special EOTS with pancakes. My wife got the Breakfast Sampler as she always does and my daughter the plate "I" usually get, the Biscuit & Gravy platter. 3 stars because my omelette was so demented and sloppily made it was not appealing to consume. I ate about a 1/4 and my wife shared her's with me. Whom ever prepared my omelette did not know how to follow directions because my omelette was as thin as a crepe the filling was undercooked as well as the bits of ham. The gravy poured atop the omelette taste like sour cream or vice versa didn't know what that thick liquid was. The cheese, well lets just say the cheese was sprinkled around the omelette all over the plate and barely on top. Its usually good give or take when we come. I think the Chef that cook's the best should always be working. Coffee is always the goodest here, warm and beautiful aroma. So for now stay away from the omelette the rest of the EOTS specials look good though. Oh by the way my Omelette did not look like the one in the womans photo with all that meat on top. Mine looked totally different and disgusting. read more

For chain diners I use to enjoy this place. Everything here either comes out soggy or really dried. I won't be eating here for awhile.

Watch out Disney world this place is about to take your title of "happiest place on earth"!

NOT OPEN 24 hrs a day like the SIGN says. Walked in at 6am, the lady yelled at us that they weren't open- I laughed thinking she was joking. I said when are you going to be open and I kid you not, she said "when I'm ready to open" she then said it might be 10 or 15 minutes. WILL NEVER BE BACK TO THIS IHOP. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GO TO DENNYS. He'll go to mcdonalds, that lady was so rude it was incredible. read more

I've been coming Here for years and can not believe what's happened to this place!! Let's just start with how dirty and not very sanitary it is now. The water pitchers are disgusting and the tables and chairs are not clean. The service is awful. Very low staff and the one waiter they had was coughing and touching money wIthout washing his hands when he would handle our food and others. He was all by himself and they weren't busy! Our food sat up on the counter for 15 mins as he struggled to take payments from customers and seating people all at the same time. He reheated my pancakes in the microwave and yet my pancakes were barely warm. What was more disturbing is he dropped an icing bottle on a plate of food and it rolled over the entire plate. He still gave that plate of food to a woman that ordered. I will never return to this location! read more

Great service......very helpful with disabled folks, our Philly sandwich was so good...

I'd give zero stars, but that isn't an option. We had ten people in our party. They told us half hour wait, but it took an hour. We had to remind them that we were there. Finally seated, it took another hour to get our food. When it arrived EVERY order was cold or like warm. Other parties same size as ours came and went. We did not order anything complicated or special. The manager reviewed the cameras and confirmed my concerns and proceeded to take a chunk off our bill. This was appreciated, but I'm not sure I'd return. read more

Went in for breakfast the other day and had the best service ever.server was polite and very professional.her name was Lenora I do believe

I've come to ihop multiple time this month, each time I've come here I've encountered lip stick left on my cup, and I have not enjoyed it one bit. I don't not believe that they have high health standards and will not be coming back anytime soon read more

It's a freaking ihop what the hell do you need to read into this? The food tastes just like Denny's bland and uninspired, the waiters are nice but over worked and seemed like a few were on the verge of going on the most oh so happiest rampage! Nothing to report same old same old. read more

I come here after work with my friends. For being open late through the night it's always the best place to come through after work when you're hungry and everything else is closed. The gentleman named Cory that works there is by far the best server I have experienced when going. He makes sure everything is always satisfying. He's always happy to see us and knows our order. This man deserves a promotion!! read more

We like coming to this Ihop over the one in Palmdale. It is always clean and the staff is always so nice. My son is two and potty trained so we know where every bathroom is everywhere we go. I think the other reviewer is talking about a different Ihop maybe the one closer to the freeway. The one is in the Rosedale center a good distance from the freeway. read more

(Poor service) (sad diner food) Came in at 11:15 to an empty front, maybe 4 groups in the dining area. The waitress who apparently is busser,hostess, & waitress told us it'd "be a while" while cashing out patrons & ignoring me husband & I as well as a buildup of 2 more groups of customers. 15minutes later she seats us down & were avoided (in every way including eye contact) for about another 15 minutes until she takes our drinks down. We're watching her as she struggles to do simple like clean a table & continue saying she's doing a bad job cause she's the only one there. At one point she even yelled at an asian man who hardly spoke English that he "can't sit wherever you want can't you see I'm cleaning? You have to go to the waiting room" when he said "a smile would be nice" she responds with "well you don't have to wait" insisting he leave & he does. Everyone in the dining area is witnessing the act in silence & we're appalled by her blunt rudeness. She finally takes down our order & we wait for our food as she argues with other customers about how she's the only one. We get our food, mediocre diner food, whatever it is that convinced me to return is beyond me but beware of the overly salted chicken Parmesan & the lazily rolled crepes. Under deep consideration we agreed we'd tip her 10% (she's that bad) & her continuous complaining about her shift having started an hour ago got my husband to drop the tip to 0%. She realizes this & yells at us that she's pregnant when indeed she is simply overweight & emotional about not having gotten tipped. The entire dining experience was awkward, uncomfortable & quite drama filled. Will definitely NOT RETURN. read more

Worst place ever. Horrible service and the manager was no help what so ever & my food was cold.

Food ok. Service very poor. Couldn't get a coffee refill even though I tried to get the attention of several servers. Appears mangers is trying to make there're bonuses by short staffing. I will have to try another restaurant. No reason for poor service Again lack of service. Seated quickly food arrived fast but ignored after that. Couldn't get coffe or order additional items read more

IHOP is IHOP. Not bad for breakfast on in the middle of Bakersfield. Staff was very friendly and served us quickly. Food as usual is nothing special. read more

The food was good. Our server Charlotte was nice and friendly, but I couldn't help but notice the table next to us server I think her name was Kortney. She had short hair that was half up and half down and had glasses. She's was very rude and I didn't like how she was talking to the guests and her coworkers. She had a pretty bad attitude and looked like she hated her job and didn't want to be there. It was so bad it prompted me to write this review. Gave two stars for the food, but she angered me greatly. read more

I went to the rosedale ihop last night and my waitress kristinn was so very friendly and the food was amazing. Keep up the good work

Kristinn on weekend graveyard is our favorite server. Small town service and charm, with a sparkle and a smile, is what makes this IHOP our local stop after a fun night in downtown. She's a fabulous constant we have come to count on when looking for late night options for fare and service. Look for the sweet server with all the bling and a personality to match. IHOPS are the same anywhere, but we enjoy our great service on the weekends because of Kristinn. read more

Myself my mother and my little sister went to IHOP today and we sat for at least 30 with no service at all. Then we finally order my little sister gets half way through the sandwich she was eating and finds a hair. Ok really IHOP come on now. read more

Lets see , a miniature plate filled with fatty beef , chicken tenders that were cool to the touch , and my favorite , potato pancakes made with frozen mashed potatoes and hash browns shoved on top , and did I mentioned they were still frozen in the center , solid , a very poor excuse for food Ive ever had , none with this place , but I did enjoy watching the mexican lady clear tables , wiping down all the salt shakers , etc. with a dirty rag she kept in the tray with the cleared dishes , wow , I want to eat there some more , after I dip myself in antibiotics read more

The food here is adequate. I prefer zingos over this spot. Service was good though at lunch time. Pancakes were worth it. The rest of my breakfast sampler was cold. I'm only giving 3 stars cause service was decent. I'll be back in a year. read more

IHOP has never done me wrong food is good customer service has always been consistent price is reasonable thanks ihop!

BEWARE! UNSANITARY! When you see food you didn't order underneath your own food (obviously left by the previous guest), you know the plates weren't washed! Ordered two cups of coffee and both cups had pink lipstick on the brim. Absolutely disgusting! The most filthy IHOP ever! read more

I was at this location a few days ago and ordered chocolate chip pancakes. About a few bites in I noticed a brown eye lash in my pancakes. I do not have brown hair and knew that was not my eyelash. I told one of the waitresses who found my waitress and told her about the eyelash. My waitress disclosed to me that this was the second time it had happened today and she would get me a new plate of pancakes. At this point I had lost my appetite and just wanted to leave. The waitress came back and gave me the new pancakes, but I ate a few bites and told her I had lost my appetite and the fact it had happened earlier on made me sick. She realized she messed up and went on to tell me the first incident seemed deliberate by the customer since no one had blond hair that worked at IHOP. I thought that was inappropriate for the waitress to disclose to her customers. Overall, I will never come back to this IHOP. The staff is rude and disrespectful towards customers and I think its gross that the people making the food have shedding hair everywhere. read more
