Came on a Monday, and the place was pretty empty at 3pm. Food was pretty good and the service was spot on. Took a bit to get the food i thought being we were kinda the only ones there. Restrooms were clean as well. read more

It took 30 minutes just to take our order, and the coffee took an extremely long time to arrive. When it finally did, there were no creamers, utensils, condiments, or napkins. We were a party of nine and were only given six utensils to share. On top of that, two people in our group didn't receive their food until after everyone else had already finished eating. The restaurant was only about half full, yet the service and wait times were terrible. Staff tried to blame the kitchen for being slow, but missing utensils and condiments have nothing to do with the kitchen. Overall, the experience was extremely disappointing, and I would not recommend this restaurant. read more

Don't waste your time. This place wasn't that busy, I saw a lot of workers. We ordered and sat for about 40 minutes with some change. No water. We asked for water 3 times and it still took over 40 minutes. Just keep driving. Mediocre food. Ambiance is unprofessional. Our server was even the manager they told us when we said we've been waiting for water. I don't care who is who, just give good service. read more

What a nice place! We were greeted and served by Becky, a friendly efficient person! I tried the pumpkin pancakes and they were, as she said, delicious! The restaurant is spotless! We were so glad we stopped there to eat. When we are in the area we will be back, thanks to Becky! read more

Avoid at all costs. This place is horrible, with service to match. Avoid!!! Place was dirty understaffed and food was horrible.

Although the food was good, the table service was terrible. Our waitress never came to check on our coffee, never came to check on our food, never offered any condiments. We could never get her attention and had to actually get up and look on our own for ketchup, hot sauce, creamer. Three times we asked for coffee and she said she would bring it, yet she never did until, like I said we had to ask for the third time. She was very prompt in asking us to pay the bill. The bathrooms were disgusting! The floor was sticky and littered with trash. The faucets looked like they had never been cleaned. read more

Please DO NOT COME TO THIS PLACE !!!Don't order Sirloin tip here, it's nasty Hash brown was super dry Pancake were burned We waited 40 mins for our food and the place was only half full read more

This place is so unorganized! The server took 20 min to correctly input our Togo order. We waited more than 30 minutes for our order. We asked if she added the ketchup and stuff and she repeated several times that everything is in there. We get to our car just to discover one whole order is missing. We went back to ask for my missing order and they claimed we got everything complete and asked for my family to bring back the other bags. So we decided to return the entire order and get a reimbursement. Don't waste your time at this place! Not worth it. read more

We got to your location this morning at 9:00 . We were promptly sat and the server came to take our order at9:20 . We were told that there was no more crepe batter . So we had to change 2 of our 4 orders . We waited for 35 minutes for our food and that's when we left. read more

The service here is so bad we waited over 1 hour just to be served when 3 people came after us and got served and left even the person behind us ate and left the only have one cook serving food here and he is working over time when he was supposed to clock out at 3 and it's about to be 4 DONT EAT HERE AFTER WAITING THEY GAVE US RAW CHICKEN read more

From my family's visit, being straightforward and honest to help others. I recommend looking elsewhere when looking for a basic restaurant to grab a bite to eat. On our (Arizona to SoCal) trip, we stopped here for a breakfast break in our travels. First issue (staffing) - upon entering, we noticed that half of the restaurant's tables were empty, we assumed we would get seated right away. This was not the case - it took us a half an hour just to get a table. It appeared that there was a staffing issue, not enough employees to manage all of the available tables. Second issue (staff competence) - The wait staff appeared "brand new", somewhat confused and largely unable to answer basic questions pertaining to food selections. We had asked a "can we swap the biscuits with french toast" question, were ignored by the waitress, then asked the manager, and had to ask a third employee (20 minutes later) before we got an answer. From this exchange, our original waitress no longer serviced our table and was switched out with another (we were somewhat confused by this action). Third issue (food) - I will say, most of the food was good but as for the eggs benedict, the eggs came out "over hard", there was barely any hollandaise sauce (we had to ask for more), and the biscuits were stale and tasted old. Fourth issue (speed/efficiency/wait time) - Although this restaurant appears well constructed for efficiency (even the kitchen area, visible throughout the entire restaurant), our basic "stop in and grab a bite to eat" took nearly two hours - time we did not want to spend during our travels. Bottom line - This location's IHOP may change but until then, there is a Denny's right across the street and a Black Bear Restaurant one or two exits down the road; although I cannot speak to their level of service, I would have to assume that it would be better than the Barstow IHOP's results. read more

Amazing Service, Horrible Management - This Needs to Reach Higher Ups! I came in for breakfast and was fortunate enough to have Emiley as my waitress. She was an absolute ray of sunshine--the kind of employee every restaurant should be grateful to have. Despite her incredible service, what I witnessed today was nothing short of appalling. The restaurant wasn't overly busy, yet we noticed that tables seated after us were receiving their food while we were still waiting. We didn't say anything, but Emiley--clearly dedicated to doing her job--asked the manager running expo what had happened to our ticket. Instead of receiving a simple answer, she was immediately and publicly reprimanded. The manager snapped at her and then, in what can only be described as a power play, told her she was being cut off the floor--not because of business demand (as there were still customers waiting to be seated) but purely out of spite. I can say with absolute certainty that Emiley's question was respectful--because we were close enough to hear everything. The fact that a manager, someone entrusted with leadership, would so carelessly and vindictively affect an employee's livelihood is disgraceful. No one deserves to be treated this way, least of all someone who is clearly passionate about providing great service. I cannot, in good conscience, recommend supporting this location while management treats their staff with such blatant disregard. No business thrives when leadership fosters a toxic work environment. If anyone from corporate or upper management would like more details about this incident, I would be more than happy to have a conversation. And Emiley, if you happen to read this--thank you for your kindness and professionalism. You deserved so much better today, and I truly hope this reaches the right people. read more

Very dirty, ok food. that's a breif description of this ihop. seriously, had to send my drink back because there was dirt in (and on) the glass! scervice was fine and i wouldn't come back anytime soon. read more

Terrible service!!! .. took an hour to get our food and it was burnt Avoid this ihop read more

Went here because in n out wasn't open yet and this place actually didn't disappoint. We didn't have to wait for a table despite the place being busy. Our server, Adelle was able to handle a lot of tables and still be attentive. She was also super friendly. The food didn't take too long to come out. I got the chicken strips and waffles. The chicken strips were decent and didn't taste frozen. I think I would prefer the pancakes over the waffles but that's also just a personal preference. If you're 55 years old or older you can get a discount which is a pretty good deal. The restrooms were also clean and there were plenty of stalls which is perfect for a road trip. read more

Downfall is the Pepsi products. Have not had creeps in a while, so I figured I would give them a try. The waitress in a mask waited on us. It is very hard to hear the muffle of her voice through the mask. The eating area was relatively simple and tolerable with the noise level. The ledge to my left needs a good dusting. I am sitting with my coat on, for there is quite a chilly breeze running under the table. The Dr. Pepper tastes a little flat with a hint of chocolate overtones. read more

Everything needs to improve. Food was awful burnt hash browns, scrambled eggs not edible had a horrible flavor and the drinks tasted like a chemical was in them. That's was after being given a regular Pepsi instead of Diet Pepsi like we ordered. Management is the worst. Tables are sticky. No refills on drinks. No one inside but us and the waitress left to go outside for ten minutes lol what a joke. Second time trying this place and we will never be back. read more

The service was fine, the place is relatively clean and pretty standard for an IHOP. My wife and I got the Bourbon Bacon Jam Eggs Benedict and I'm not even a picky eater and I didn't eat it. It's absolutely disgusting. It looks like dog food and tastes terrible. This is partly my fault, I didn't read the word "Jam". I swear to god it didn't look like that from the photo. I'd avoid that menu item if I were you, or , if you want to try one of the worst breakfast items you'll ever try then you know what to order. read more

IHOP - Bout an Bacon Jam Eggs Benedict looks like dog food and probably tastes worse. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Barstow, California

This IHop location has a 2.5 star rating. We didn't check the reviews as we were just passing through and chose it for the brand appeal. First off, I will write a disclaimer that we didn't actually get to have our meal here. This is for the service we did experience. We arrived about 10:30 am as we were returning from a visit with our son in Flagstaff. We were greeted by a pleasant gentleman with pink hair and seated right away. I went to use the restroom. When I came to the table, my wife said that one male server told the host not to seat us in his section as he already had too many tables. OK, whatever. A heavy-set female server said she would take us but my wife found her less than enthusiastic. We sat for 10 minutes without anyone coming to the table. Our server was no where to be seen. We decided to leave. Our host did not notice us and we never saw our server. We ended up going to the nearby Denny's which was largely empty and where we received good service and food. read more

Rude service, burnt & freezerburnt food, ambiance was overall negative. Do not recommend going here.

Horrible 1 hour wait time not even busy. Food was Sickening literally got food poisoning. Milkshake came out room temperature. Service was pretty bad. read more

Excellent customer service. Our server, Mel, was friendly and attentive. We love our favorite large steak omelet and strawberry banana pancakes. read more

My wife and I stopped in for breakfast and we ordered 2 of the 7 dollar combos and water, we sat there for 30 minutes no food 2 tables that ordered after us got there orders so I asked the waitress why do they receive their food and we haven't, she said we were next and they were working on it needless to say we cancelled our orders and walked out, this was worst place I have ever been to so. I guess if your order is less money then the other tables you will be served last. read more

Food was as you'd expect in an I hop. Simple and you know what you're going to get. I enjoyed my eggs and bacon.. The waitress tried really hard but it wasn't the same slick service that I've received at other I hops. One of the kitchen staff had an altercation while we we there with another member of staff in the kitchen and stormed out. The manager apologised but was a bit strange. There were people waiting for tables and tables not cleared. The bathroom needed checking as the bin was overflowing. The whole restaurant looked a bit tired. read more

Stopped here for breakfast at 10am on a Sunday. Even though we were a party of 16 I don't think the wait for food should be that long. We received our food at 11:20! Waitress was nice and patient. We all sat in check form to make it easier so bill was split in three. Women's Bathroom has a long light and it's clear so you can see dead roaches inside. Unfortunately I noticed this as I was leaving otherwise I wouldn't have even ordered. Will not be returning or recommending this restaurant. read more

Super clean with clean bathrooms and unusually fast service compared with your average ihop. The best part was our server Becky was extremely sweet and thoughtful! read more

Absolutely the worst ihop to go to. After being sat down. It took the waitress a good 15 mins before taking our order. There were people sat after us but they took their order first. Their order came out fast but for us, we waited over 40 mins and still nothing. It wasn't even busy!. We decided to just leave. I highly! Suggest go somewhere read more

Do not come here at all. It take forever to get your food, I waited 45 minutes for an omelette and stack of pancakes which were cold. I would of gave it zero stars if I could read more

Waitress was all over the place. Pancakes were cold and eggs Benedict were terrible. Bill came to 52 and that was too much for what we ordered. I feel like they added extra items and I should have looked at the bill better but we were in a huge hurry and the waitress took forever and when she brought the bill she had it folded in a way where all I saw was the total. read more

All staff were kind and accommodated out large party. We had one serve for 18 people she was great. Very patient and kind. Quick with taking orders and brought out food in a timely manner. Thank you Loana for providing great customer service. read more

Prompt service was able to get breakfast in quickly while trying to beat the traffic back to San Diego, plenty of free parking. read more

IHOP - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Barstow, California

Stopped by around 9am on 12.24.21 on our way to the Central Coast from Las Vegas. There were so many tables open yet wait staff took long to sit customers. The young lady in the front was actually rude when I mentioned why aren't we being seated when theres open tables...seemed like she was confused. Yet, the male wait staff apologized and said, I'll get your table ready. A bit expensive for IHOP, we paid $50 for our 3 burgers. But we were hungry and needed to fuel up and rest a bit before getting back on the road. read more

This is the slowest place, it takes them 45 min or longer to prepare a simple breakfast.

Loved this place. SADLY, Food isn't worth the price any longer. Sad. Loved IHOP. It's seen better days. But, haven't most restaurants?

Traveling from Laughlin Nevada to San Diego we sometimes stop at this IHOP for simple dependable food and good service. This time was no different. Good options for the 55+ crowd and great burgers and sandwiches. Service was friendly. read more

IHOP - 55+ Breakfast Sampler - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Barstow, California

We stopped after a weekend of riding in the desert. The food was good. Breakfast and burgers. It's a typical IHOP. They have a fairly large parking lot so we could pull our toy-hauler in and get out easy. Service was okay, not great but not bad either. read more

There service is horrible we literally sat and waited for our order for 45 mins, and that was for two house favs and house scramble. Never once stopped to let us know what was going on, HORRIBLE HORRIBLE SERVICE. IF YOU HAVE A COUPLE HOURS TO WASTE ON M MEDIOCRE FOOD AND SHITTY SERVICE THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO. read more

We waited over 45 minutes for our food. They do not have enough help! My husband's food came and then I waited for mine. It wasn't that busy so no excuse really worked. And the manager was rude when approached by unhappy customers! Do not stop here. Lots of other places. I'm probably still waiting for my eggs Benedict . So the Benedict arrived, eggs hard, a drop of hollandaise sauce and cold, un toasted muffin. I sent it back. Then after 15 minutes it arrived with almost uncooked eggs. They were generous with the avocado but by now I had enough of their trying to make it right. The manager yelled at the people behind us that she had to cook stuff and had not brought the lady the warm syrup she asked for. She then blamed the waitress and walked out of the restaurant. When we finally left we saw the manager in the parking lot smoking a cigarette and we smelled a strong smell of cannabis. The other employees(2) had just walked out of the cannabis store next door and they were also smoking. What a cluster f*ck! This place has no business being an IHOP. I did feel bad for the server but based on the way the manager spoke with everyone as she was quite abusive. It's no wonder that there is no staff. I sure wouldn't want to work there EVER! read more

I just visited here during this holiday. I have been waiting for one hour, but food still didnt come. I cant blame server because she was friendly. But restaurant itself... why they keep so little crew at kitchen and floor and make people grumpy out of no reason... I was happy and joyful before come into here expecting good food and nice mood. now I feel terrible, and when I look around people are waiting to get food... all look sad... Update after got food :: I ordered spinach mushroom omelette without cheese, but it came out with extra cheese... I had to eat it anyway cause I was too hungry but got so frustrated about this place over all.. also my kid asked crispy breakfast potato for egg benedict, but they gave us hash brown. what could be worse than this.. having weirdly ordered food after an hour thirty minutes.. without complain.. when we came out of restuarant..no body said anything about food, just everybody got so frustrated... Dont ever come here... I dont want to add any star, I put one because I had to. read more

I would not recommend eating here. They took 30 minutes to bring out 3 dishes, forgetting the 4th. By the time the waitress came back to our table and realized she missed the 4th, everyone else was finished eating. They then tried charging us for drinks she told us came with the meals. After all of the was settled, it took the waitress, the hostess, and the manager to get our receipt printed correctly so we could sign and leave. Terrible experience. read more
