My visit at iHop this week was been much better than it had been previously. Ronnie was great! I originally intended to order togo but decided to dine in since it wasn't busy. Our waiter was very accommodating and made sure we were comfortable. The food came out quick and it was delicious! Overall I think there has been several improvements and I see us coming back more often now. read more

First time at this location. Service was very slow and I don't understand the plastic eating utensils and one very small and thin napkin. Won't be back. read more

Today I ordered the spinach & mushrooms omelette which was cold. Spinach wasn't cooked. Cheese tasted artificial and cheap and the omelette itself was falling apart. The crispy breakfast potatoes was cool and tasted old. The strawberry & cream crepes has not taste. This Carbondale IHOP use to be a great place to eat at. Takeout was fresh, hot and tasted great. Now it's read more

the booth was dirty, but the main issue was the food poisoning that my wife and I received after eating there was horrible. 24 hrs later still vomiting and will never return. called the store and they said we had no proof it was from there. please do yourself a favor and skip this place. read more

Just ordered two omelettes. The food wasn't seasoned and the hash browns were cold. When I opened the container to my egg white omelette, there was a standing pool of liquid in the container. I don't know what happened to this place but their sign wasn't lit and the parking lot was almost completely dark. When I went in there was no one dining and only one person working front of house. With service like this and poor food quality, I see why it's empty. I hope they can turn things around. read more

Service is dog shit! I have ordered Togo form there twice and each time the food was wrong and food was missing! Honestly is seems like a hole in the wall without the good food and service. read more

The service was prompt and polite. Everyone was extremely nice. I ordered the tres Leche pancakes that were surprisingly good and filling. It also came with bacon, hash browns and scrambled eggs. For the price and the location it's great. Of course it's ihop so it meets the standards. read more

This was a terrible visit the waitress was absolutely terrible her name was Zega. She was racist and didn't want to serve blacks. She was slow bringing out food and constantly playing in her hair... Food was cold because she was so slow. It took other servers to satisfy me and the party of three.. read more

Was in town visiting daughter before a game and she offered to pick up breakfast before her game and eat at hotel w us. So she placed order online and when she arrived to pick up they could not find order. Instead of just looking at the receipt and making the order staff just gave a bunch of excuses and said there was nothing they could do about it since it was done online. A text was received about 1/2 hour after she left and order was found but since she a student athlete who was at the field getting ready for a game too little too late as we had already grabbed an alternate breakfast. I then tried to call to make sure the nearly $40 was not charged to my card for food never received. I am still trying to get the $$ back. Everyone I speak to seems to have no ability to refund the purchase even if they are a manager. Will keep trying!- it's the principle of the matter at this point. read more

We waited 40 minutes for cold food. My eggs were literally freezing. Was missing my French toast. Finally got it but it had strawberries on it. Husbands pancakes were cold. We're we're told it would be another 40 minute wait for hot food to be made. Our waitress only came to our table once in 40 minutes and that was to take our order. Needless to say we left without eating. read more

Finally got to go to one for the first time and to be honest as a Chef I am totally not impressed. In fact I'm a little jaded due to all the rave reviews and word of mouth it's a joke. Omelette was ok I could have done that at home and saved my money. Unless you love sugar stay away from the iced coffee and coffee would be an understatement. If your not diabetic now you will be after the first glass. I'll try this again in a year and see where we are at than. read more

Can I just say that I am not a fan of breakfast food but something told me to try their bananas fosters french toast. And boy did it hit the spot!! Everything was great. I also had an iced coffee on the side that was sweetened to perfection. The server was a little odd. Nonetheless, I had a pretty good experience at this IHOP. read more

IHOP - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Carbondale, Illinois

Food is good of course, staff is friendly. But every time I've been to this location, there's 3 people working here. It takes 10 minutes to be seated. 10 minutes to place a drink order. And another 1/2 hour + to get your food. They seriously just need more staff and someone running the show. We ended up having to leave before we even got our food, which I feel crappy about, but my husband had an hour for lunch (he works around the corner from this IHOP) and we had to have time to get him SOMETHING to eat before he went back to work for another 5 hours and hadn't eaten anything all day. read more

Something changed from there new business opening. The hours are suppose be from 6:00am to 11:00pm. This store seems to close when they feel like it. Been there on several occasions before 11 PM and they were closed... come on IHOP in Carbondale what gives? read more

This goddamn mother-foikin' place is strangely very bad about shorting customers on butter fer-cryin'-out-loud, the NERVE of them. And the same for the newer Marion location goddamn it to hell. If they would pay as much attention to the butter situation as they do to calling the cops on customers that try to steal a coffee cup they might do better business. read more

One of the worst tasting iHops I've ever had. Literally didn't taste like any seasoning was on it then was charged for something that automatically came with the order. I didn't even finish my meal and that's highly unlike me when I'm in there. I felt so sick after that I won't be going back anytime soon. read more

It was 6:00pm when me and my 2 friends walked into iHop, we were seated quickly because we were the only ones there. This btw was our first time going to an iHop. We ordered quickly and was greeted by a waitress who acted very rudely towards my friend, telling him he couldn't get more pancakes because it's not a Wednesday. Overall the service was horrid and it took way to long for our food to arrive and when the food arrived my stuff was cold. However the chicken tenders were wonderful and the pancakes were fluffy. But overall our experience with iHop was not a good first impression. read more

After so many years of wanting an I HOP, we finally got one. I ordered a burger with the endless fries. The fries were okay, but I like anyone's fries. I took the burger home for lunch. I received the burger at about 8:30 am and at it at 10:30 am. That was the saltiest burger I have ever eaten, including McDonald's. Believe it or not it got saltier as I ate it. The servers seemed a little unsure of themselves. One server received the order and another one brought it back. Neither one appeared as if they wanted to be there. Granted, it was eight o'clock in the morning. I'm grumpy at that time too, but I'm not a server. Won't be back. read more

We have been disappointed with our IHOP b!after being elated when they came here. Service is too slow as waitresses spend too much time talking. read more

Went at 6:45AM to get breakfast and the doors were locked, although their hours said 6AM was opening. I tried the door again and got the attention of two employees inside. I thought it was an honest mistake, but they looked at me and laughed, and then disappeared out of sight. Instead of coming and explaining why they were still closed 45 minutes past opening, they just went to hide. Probably won't be back if that's the reception you get before you even set foot in the door. read more

Wow, wow, wow. What can I say. This IHOP truly put a hop in my step if you know what I mean ;-) I had the bacon, avocado, and turkey wrap and GOODDAAAMMNN. The service was prompt (8 minutes and 14 secs (yes we timed it)) and I was delighted with my lunch. What I learned from this experience is never be afraid to try new things i.e. eating lunch food at a breakfast restaurant read more

Not consistent Had breakfast here earlier this week. No complaints . Stopped by tonight for light dinner. .Food tasted good -came out slow-though, and then we only got half of what we ordered and asked twice. The server was nice, but definitely needs additional training. We had empty glasses before the food was served.--never refilled. We had to ask for condiments, to go boxes and then the check (which was incorrect twice) ----asking for each more than once! We are leaving full, but still thirsty, and a bit sticky because our napkins had disintegrated, and we couldn't catch our server to ask for either drinks or napkins. Will give it another try- hopefully an off night! read more

It's packed here and I have to say I watched management do an excellent job trying their best to get people seated efficiently. They handled customer inquiries in a professional manner. Our waiter was swamped but was attentive. We will come here again! read more

Took 45 minutes to get our cold food with only 4 tables with customers. Waitress was fine but the manager was rude and unprofessional. Took 2 requests to get him out there then listened to him yell at the waitress in the back. No offer of any kind of compensation for the poor food quality. I felt bad for the waitress who returned to the table with tears still in eyes. A 1 star is too high of a rating for this place. read more

The bacon was too burnt. The pancakes tasted like frozen heated up. Very small. About saucer size. No taste. Won't go back.

The food was ok but the service was poopy. Waited for 15 minutes for my check and also I heard the waitress is racist.

Has been many years since we had eaten at an IHOP. The service was poor and the food and coffee was cold. The waitress acted as if she was put out by us wanting hot coffee eggs pancakes and bacon. Won't be back read more

This is a awful place to go for anything. The place is dirty and the service is so bad!! I have never had such bad service! The person I had didn't even refill my drink and when she did she acted like I was inconveniencesing her. She seemed very angry and when I went to leave and pay my meal was o ly 10.56 and I left a 3 dollar tip and she said if you aren't goi g to tip well don't tip at all! Never go there ever! So bad. read more

Went to this location twice.. first time was good and the second time was terrible. We had a coupon for free stack of pancakes and I showed our waitress it. She forgot to put it on our bill and she asked her manager to take it off. We were told by the RUDE manager we cannot use it because it's wasn't on a paper copy. I wasn't upset about the money I was angry by the way the manager approached us. She was not professional. Have not gone back to this location read more

I would give this place a zero star if I were able to. Came here instead of Denny's to try it out because it was new. The customer service is absolutely horrible , first they sat is in the booth right next to the kitchen door when there were plenty of other tables to be seated at. From where we were, we were able to hear every conversation they were having, which included, how they messed up on another customers bill, a staff member not rolling their own silverware and how lazy this worker way, but also (and even worse and disturbing) was over hearing them speak badly about their customers. Considering the fact that we were sitting right in front of them you would think that they would've kept their insults to themselves. Now on top of all this some of the potatoes I had were raw, hash browns were requested well done and crispy only the top was well done the rest was raw, We had to request for silverware, Which was brought to us after the meal was already on the table getting cold, was needing butter and jam for the toast but never got it cause the whole staff was around the register or trying to figure out how to fix a ticket that they messed up on, and the rest of the staff was MIA. When our waitress finally came to the table and ask how was everything I expressed my disappointment and how I was needing butter and jam but never received it, she basically ignored everything and just said if I wanted jam now. I told her no since I was done with breakfast. She just left the bill on the table and walked away. Word of advice go elsewhere. Will definitely not be coming back read more

We have been to other IHOPs and waited over a month before trying this one out--it was disappointing for the following reasons: 1) The service was inconsistent showing poorly trained staff-my husband had to get his own catsup and I had to find a waitress to get syrup-it was 2:30 and not busy. The pancake was tepid and under-cooked. It is unfortunate because we have had positive experiences in other locations. I compare IHOP to the local place Harbaugh's and local wins hand down for food and service. Thus, they need training-customer focus, IHOP standards for the food, and a manager that decided to have a staff meeting in the entry of the restaurant instead of focusing on the customers-really? On the upside, the prices are good. read more

went there for breakfast twice. same waitress taran r. always seems to wait until I almost finish my meal then asks if I need anything. the second time was the last for her with me. I was half way done with my drink before even getting my meal and finished it halfway thought my meal she even walked by several times and never checked to see if I needed anything else. she did however check on the people around me. I am usually a good tipper but not anymore she didn't even ask if I wanted any butter or jelly for my toast and when she did ask me if I want another drink she waitined until I had 3 bites left and then I didn't get it until I was ready to leave. I should have said this first but was seated at a table that still had food on it. I usually get great service their but from now on when I see her working ill just do without. read more

I was at Carbondale IHOP tonight with 4 intellectually disabled individuals. Our waitress was just downright rude. When we walked in the door she told us to "go sit at that big table," but did not offer to escort us to said table. She takes our drink orders& things seem to be ok, then she brings the menus back & just tosses them down in front of me, doesn't bother to speak to any of the individuals I was with, drops the silverware again directly in front of me, cant be bothered to hand each person their own silverware. These individuals may have special needs but they are not "contagious" you cant "catch an intellectual disability" & for her to be rude & disrespectful to them just was not necessary. They have feelings just like you & I do. Maybe next time if shes nicer she will get more than a 10% tip!! She did not give me her name. The food was actually pretty good, but waitress was a bitch!! read more

We were there at 2:30 on a Saturday afternoon. Service was slow. It was over 20 min for us to get our drinks. After the slow start things did get better and the food was good. read more
