Walked away when they wanted me to put a diaper on my face. Facemask studies (MIT) have proven that face masks have zero effectiveness. But IHop wants me to wear one to walk in the door and then take it off when I sit. What a bunch of BS that is. Going to a place around the corner. IHop doesn't want customers. read more

Ensra was an excellent server and customer service advocate. The only reason it's a 4 star is because the ladies at the front t desk walked away and let the phone ring. Ensra rushed over to answer it! We were very happy to find out he was our server! read more

Best IHOP I've ever been too. Fresh; both the food and restaurant itself. Tasted delicious and staff was super friendly and attentive. Seemed like the staff was working very good together; they had a great flow. Will be back for sure! read more

IHOP - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Charles Town, West Virginia

Typical IHOP quality. Star rating based on IHOP quality and not other restaurants. You aren't going to get the top knotch wait staff that you would in a higher class restaurant. If you're looking for better quality than McDonald's or Waffle House then this is your place but it won't come close to a boutique establishment. The tables were generally clean, the fries were burnt, the eggs benedict we're overcooked and the hollandaise sauce was bland. The bathrooms are generally clean. We're usually seated right away and although not always properly trained are at least friendly. The prices have risen and in my opinion higher based on quality than other better diners. read more

Have you been to IHOP? I don't know what's inside until Hubby introduced me to the place. They have food, ok good news! I used to imagine IHOP is the place if you want to eat big but we went to Harold's recently and I don't think any food place serves bigger dish than that one. This is why I never listened to anyone until I experiment it myself. These days even a chain restaurant feels the need to catch-up with some great restaurants and believe it or not, they got it. So IHOP is more like a family dining breakfast restaurant. You want to bring your family here. I ordered sunnyside up eggs with pancake and Hubby got over easy with French toast. Both with bacon and the bread was marble rye bread. Was that cool or what? I thought the French toast was pretty good. I'm not sure how IHOP is in NY or other cities and towns because I never went to any, but in this town it's big, located at a great location with enough parking space for everybody and clean inside and outside. Our server, Sam, was attentive and did a great job. We were greeted by many staff members. We had to take French toast and pancake to go. Couldn't eat all that but glad we had nice good breakfast. Recommended to all! read more

Allana D was Are waitress. She was amazing. She was super polite and personable. She was very efficient. She thought of bringing ketchup and jelly without us asking. She filled the sugar container. Allana is one of the best waitresses we have had recently. Food was great as always. I highly recommend. Only negative was it was freezing cold in restaurant and I forgot my jacket. read more

The service was very good. The food was very average. Luke warm food all around. This restaurant used to have better food.

We visited this location yesterday morning and was attended by a very arrogant server . He was very rude interrupting our ordering and overall very dismissive while taking care of our table. When he brought the drinks he literally slammed all of them on the table and threw the straws up in the air as faster way to distribute them I'm guessing. Honestly neither me nor my family felt welcomed at that establishment. It was clear that he did not want to serve us and was trying to rush things up. What a shame, he definitely missed out on a tip due to his horrible table side manners although the food was decent I would NEVER step foot in this establishment again! read more

Came here for breakfast yesterday, we got seated right away and we all ended up ordering the breakfast sampler. Our food took a good chunk of time to come out and the place was pretty full (by the time we left the lunch rush had started)... it wasn't the best tasting sampler I've had at an IHOP but it was fine. I did find it odd that right after our waitress took our order she was asking if we needed ketchup or anything, like... ask me when the food is in front of me at least. Our table didn't have any pepper but the waitress hustled trying to steal one from an unoccupied table so, this probably inconvenienced the other table later, heh. Yea for 24hr spots! read more

place for breakfast very good the food is very good recommend this place very clean REI customer service read more

Ok so I have never done a yelp review before but I'm hoping that if I make one maybe this damn place will make some changes....I started ordering food from here though door dash like 3 weeks ago and I have ordered a hand full of times and the only time my food was ever prepared the right way and was even any good was the first time since then every order has been messed up....I always order the same thing strawberry and cream crepes hashbrowns and sausage links and every single time either there is absolutely none of the vanilla cream with the crepes or there isn't any whipped cream or there isn't either...this time i had to call in there to make sure they put the freaking whipped cream and vanilla cream in with the crepes and they did that but my food was alarming cold and the crepes were almost fucking burnt like how the hell do you over cook a damn crepe they are so easy to freaking make!!! I never wanted to be that person who says "I spend a good bit of money here" but I do I have been ordering like at least once to twice a week for the last three-four weeks so I have spent a good bit and every single time something is screwed up just about every single time my food is also freaking cold ugh I hate freaking complaining about stuff like this but I'm hoping maybe they will step up their doordash service because this is a bit ridiculous! I would expect that yea once in awhile sone thing small would be messed up with the order because obviously things happen by accident but every single time I order the food is fucked up every single time and it sucks:( I keep ordering in hopes that maybe this time something won't be fucked up but yet every single time something is screwed up every single damn time!!! So hopefully maybe this post will get a little bit of traction and maybe IHOP will step it up when it comes to DoorDash orders like these crepes were so over cooked they were almost hard they were horrible!!! I apologize ihop for this yelp review but I mean every single time something is screwed up :( read more

Was here on vacation and this is the cleanest restaurant in the area. We got excellent service from our waitress Wendy, she's the nicest sweetest person in the place. Other staff was very friendly and the had great social distancing and everyone had a mask on. Food was really good and Wendy explained a discount they had going on and saved us money on our meal. Had such an excellent experience that we came back for more the next day before leaving. read more

This IHOP is our go to place for brunch. The hostess and servers are always polite and professional. The cooks prepare eggs exactly the way they are ordered. I am talking sunny- side up over easy (the way I like them) or sunny-side up over medium (the way my husband likes them) , they are perfect every time! My son just loves the strawberry cheesecake pancakes. The bacon can be specified as crispy or chewy. We have been coming here for years and this place never disappoints. read more

Pumpkin waffle was amazing!!! And our server Jessica was great! We are from Out of town and stopped in for breakfast on the way home. We walked in and sat down right away and everything came out on time,great place! read more

Excellent chicken fried steak and gravy. Food came out hot and was delicious. Cinnabun pancakes with extra cream cheese. wow! So much food I took half of it home for dinner. read more

Against my better judgement, I took my stepson here because it was enroute to where we were going. I thought maybe there was new management and the place had gotten better. Nope! Terrible service. Our server did not want to be there and it showed when she interacted with customers. We left before receiving our meal. When I told the cashier how bad the service was, another couple behind us told me they wondered if anyone else had noted the rudeness. 2 strikes. I promise there won't be a third. read more

I understand they are busy today due to the holiday. However, it was not an excuse for them to have never come to my table. After 30 mins of sitting I watched them seat another family, take their order and give them their drinks. We still had not even been ask what we wanted to drink. My son was set on having his chicken & waffles so we took our service to Frederick IHOP. Happy Thanksgiving! read more

We ordered take out using online ordering on their website. We ordered a Jr. cupcake combo, pancake combo, and steak tips breakfast. As soon as we pulled in the parking lot, they walked out with our order. The order was perfect and the food was still hot and tasted fresh, even after our 15 minute drive home. They also have the coolest takeout containers that separate the pancakes from the eggs, hash browns, etc. so that your food doesn't get soggy. This was, by far, the best take out breakfast we have had since the stay at home order was put in place. I would highly recommend this IHOP for take out breakfast. read more

So good you can get pancakes for breakfast lunch and dinner. I would eat it forever and ever. So so so yummy. If I could I would rate it a 100% forever. Yum yum good. This is the best. I feel like this at IHOP read more

Amazing place to get breakfast. Staff and atmosphere are amazing as well me and my wife go every week and order the bacon sensation omelet and the country omelet read more

The new updates to the restaurant are great (no more yucky carpet). Food services is still slow an the cooks could use a refresher course on the meaning of crispy bacon.--Also before you bring the check you may want to make sure we are truly done. Nothing worse than when you give someone the check early. Your basically saying your done with our table. read more

Eggnog pancakes were not available much to the disappointment of Gaby. But wait, the waitress went and spoke to the chef. He offered to whip her up a pancake and eggnog cream treat. Great solution and great customer service. Thanks Tammy and Chef Robin! read more

The staff at this iHop location is amazing!! Their energy is contagious! I love it!! They smile, they look you in the eyes, and their eyes are happy! They go above and beyond at this location! Our waiter, Josh, was the best!! He provided excellent service in every way! I loved his energy, and attitude! However, maybe the hiring manager should not eye other girls boyfriends up and down. Just sayin......lol. Slightly amused and irritated at the same time. But, it was fun dangling him at her, lol. read more

I don't know what it is or why, but this place CANNOT get it together when it comes to dinner hours!! The place wasn't particularly busy; maybe ten tables full? We sat for OVER AN HOUR and never got served. We literally were chatting with several other tables suffering the same fate, and the worst part was seeking parties of two being served (coming in well after the larger parties), but NO ONE ELSE was getting anything! If there is an unforeseen circumstance-by all means, be proactive and let your customers know- but no communication and everyone AVOIDED the tables as opposed to trying to interact and explain what was going on. After another table left (approximately 20 minutes without so much a drink order...) we decided to follow their lead after one hour, ten minutes without ANYTHING from the kitchen. If this was the first dinner issue I've had there- I'd see it as a "bad night," but the lack of empathy, communication, and abundance of inexperience from management to servers indicate they Save their experienced staff for weekend mornings. The manager appeared to be a young kid over his head (assuming he was manager as he tended to yet another angry table) and in reactionary mode. Not sure how a chain company can be so inept and unable to serve people. Total count while we watched: three tables left after excessive waiting times, one table complaining as we walked out, and another requesting check as we walked by. Complete lack of caring and they really need to evaluate their ability to run the lunch dinner times, and this is a CONSTANT problem for them! We actually noticed 30 MINUTES- and NO FOOD CAME OUT TO CUSTOMERS! What were they doing back there? And when a table doesn't have silverware and asks the host/server and the server looks perplexed and bothered by the request and WALKS AWAY AND IMMEDIATELY STARTS WIPING A TABLE in an apparent attempt to ignore the customer...that should have been an early tip off. Come on guys...you are really pissing potential customers off, and by making three parties of 6 or more people walk before being served-the servers lose money, too! When we hit "an hour ten minutes," and the server said "They are getting started on your food..." that was the nail in the coffin. Not good, IHOP. REALLY BAD AGAIN- avoid this place after the early mornings omelette & pancakes. Getting home after leaving and going somewhere else got us home about 9pm- FAR LATER THAN WE ANTICIPATED! Skip the hassle, excessive wait, and lack of empathy. Throw a dart at a map and you'll be better off. read more

I have to say, this IHOP was not bad.. My grandparents live near Charles Town, WV, and the dining options are very, very limited (except now I've heard of the restaurant Dish, and am incredibly excited to have a real, non-chain, non-Chinese, non-sub/pizza option the next time we eat up there). Our choices that day were between Applebees and IHOP. We went into Applebees first, thinking it was the lesser of two evils, and were told it would be a 20 minute wait. Not usually an issue, except there were no more than 10 tables with people at them, and apparently only 1 waiter on staff. Sooo off to IHOP. We had to wait about 5 minutes while they cleaned off a table for the 6 of us. Our server was new and a bit slow, but still fine. The food was surprisingly decent. I've probably only gone to IHOP about 5 times in my life and from those experiences, I really wasn't expecting much. I ended up getting the ham and cheese omelette. And because I clearly don't care if I die from a heart attack or not, I had some pancakes, hashbrowns, and toast as well. While the pancakes were pretty blah, the omelette was really, really good. The boyfriend was happy they had scrapple, but wasn't expecting much as he thinks the scrapple in Philly is superior to all other scrapple (I don't know why, I mean, really, we're talking about a cornucopia of mashed up, discarded meat). And, he said the scrapple turned out to be really good. It was incredibly cheap. I think it ended up being less than $70 for 6 people, including tip for a shitload of food. MMMM now I want another omelette... read more

If I could give it a negative star rating I would. Our service today was horrible. Our servers name was Nicole. She was gave us our food. Some was cold. She never came back to our table, didn't remove dishes. 3 of our drinks were empty before our food came, she brought 1 refill but ignored the other 2. She had 2 tables at the time our food was dropped off. At the end she dropped off our check as I was asking for to go boxes, and to go drinks she walked off before I was even done talking. I was beyond livid. She brought back boxes, literally dropped them, and took off. When we paid we let the manager know about our horrible service, in which he didn't seem to care. The jerk could have atleast gotten our to go drinks. read more

We had a nice dinner here, clean and great service. Thank you Jesse for taking care of us, we will be back.

I love going to IHOP! The food is always good and if you want something special (like the pot roast sauce on the side), they are always willing to do so. The employees are very polite and quick to refill a glass if needed. read more

Had to wait 45 minutes for a table in the lobby...not a big deal, but 25 of those minutes were spent telling 3 different employees a child had puked all over the floor right in front of them. No one would clean it up. Finally someone put a wet floor sign down. When a kid finally came out with a mop bucket, he couldn't tell where the puke had been because so many people had walked through it. Server was nice. Kid cleaning up puke was nice. Hostesses were air heads. Food was mediocre. I'll take my business else where from now on. Update. If I could leave 0 stars I would. Both of my children became ill 36 hours later. Thanks IHOP. read more

Mediocre at best. Took 30 minutes to get our food, they didn't have regular coffee in the entire restaurant, and the food wasn't great. Disappointing. read more

Came to this IHOP excited, left utterly disappointed. After waiting over ten minutes to be seated, in a virtually empty restaurant, waitress rudely wanted to know my order the minute we sat down. Since we obviously weren't ready, we asked for a minute to look at the menu, she took that as 20 minutes. When she finally came back to take my order, she condescendingly told me they were out of ice cream, so i couldn't get the milkshake special and begrudgingly took the rest of my order, and then proceeded to wait another 30 minutes to put it the order to the kitchen. Despite how long i waited for my food, it came to me, freezing cold and completely not what i ordered. My extra crispy hash browns were mushy and the cinnamon stack pancakes were a facade, meaning they had the smallest about of icing possible placed on dry cakey pancakes. (See photos below...) Overall, one of the most disappointing restaurant experiences i've ever had, until the waitress was rude when i paid for the check, which made it THE most DISAPPOINTING dining experiences i've ever had. read more

We no longer go to the Charlestown WV IHOP since the staff spends more time horse playing amongst themselves. The horse play even included customer food delivery. Also noticed was salad prepare not using plastic gloves until employee saw us looking at him. Recommendation, go to Martinsburg or Ranson Bob Evan's. read more

I just took my fiance out to eat for his birthday. As soon as we walked through the door we had nothing but good service. Our waitress was also our hostess, her name was Rebecca and she was on point with the service. It was like she knew everything I was thinking I didn't even have to say it. Thanks for the wonderful service on my fiance bday Rebecca it was great and made our day! read more

I come a few times a month and they are generally good. The biggest most common mistake that has been made are my eggs being undercooked (I don't like runny yolks)... the majority of the waitstaff is fantastic and checks in frequently to make sure everything is going ok. read more

Have eaten here several time since it's the only IHOP in the area. Staff is unfriendly and not attentive. Food has always been eh.

We stopped at this IHOP for a late-night meal at about 1:30 a.m. The restaurant smelled like a barn. I realize there is a thoroughbred racetrack nearby, and horsemen probably frequent this place, but it absolutely reeked the entire hour we were there, and there weren't many people in the restaurant. I wish the smell was the worst part of the meal, but the service was terrible. We waited 15 minutes to get our check and our server was nowhere to be found. I felt like a prisoner in a horse barn. Food was okay. read more
