My family walked in to order some pancakes on the go... and the one who took the order turned to the hostess and said they don't need to be seated their only here to order their pancake S**T ... wow service that I've Never seen at any other IHOP before... won't be coming back to the Clifton location again and will advise it's best to go to a different location like Totawa! read more

I get takeout from here from time to time when I'm feeling breakfast for dinner and honestly I love their pancakes! I always get the buttermilk pancakes with extra butter and wow are they good! I feel like ihop is really the place to go for great pancakes. They are fluffy and buttery. And they travel very well too! Always hot and fresh! read more

Showed up on Sunday morning for brunch. Although there were people all over the place waiting, our party of 2 was seated in the promised 5-10 minutes. The hostess station has a speaker that transmits to the outside, and I appreciate that! Standard IHOP food and coffee, decent service. Clean enough to me. read more

This is the best location in the area. The staff are always friendly and attentive. I've never had a negative experience here. I've always gotten served quickly. read more

Very good service and friendly staff. Food is delicious. Hardly no wait time. Will be visiting this ihop again.

Food was good and fast but after seeing stuck food on the flatware and sticky table even after we requested it get wiped again you have to wonder how clean the plate is they are serving the food on If you chose to come to eat here check your flatware before you use it. read more

IHOP - Flatware has dried food stuck on it, table was sticky. We asked the server to clean the table, she did but left the sticky ring - American Near Me - Clifton, New Jersey

The past two weeks I've been craving a chocolate milkshake from ihob. After bringing myself to the nearest location I was unable to see a milkshake listed on the to go menu but I proceeded to order it anyway. My issue with the milkshake was that it was roughly 12oz which was smaller than I expected. Also $5.55 seemed pricey for the size of the drink. The best way to describe the drink was a colder version of chocolate milk. Sadly the drink was a disappointment and do not recommend anyone to get one. read more

Love it here I come here with my gf every Monday and we love it the ppl here are great and really nice the food is really good and service is always top notch read more

We didn't get serve, not even water. A group of people came in after us and they got served first. Horrible experience. No manners or whatsoever. read more

Even though it was a bit crowded on arrival. We were seated fairly quickly. Our order was taken soon thereafter. The food was really great! I tried the new vanilla bean buttermilk pancakes with vanilla bean ice cream on top. And it came with 3 sausage, 3 bacon, hash browns and 2 eggs. All were so delicious. My husband had the cheeseburger with an over easy egg on top and fries. Also great. The kids had cornbeef hash with pancakes and eggs , and cheeseburger sliders with fries. All great. I love eating at IHOP! read more

I've been in several IHop and this was the best. Clean place, very well served the food was excellent, the service was quick and our waitress Catherin was very friendly. We will definitely come back. read more

In New Jersey right now getting breakfast. The service is so good here that I had to make a review. Our server Maria R. was amazing! Thank you read more

Haven't been to this IHOP and IHOP in general in years. Went on a whim with my family on a Friday night. The place was immaculate, the waiter was extremely friendly, and the food was delicious. read more

Its only 8:30an and they open at 7 am as I look around the floors are filthy and they is food crumbs and old toast.no need for this filth.this will be my last time here read more

This is by the WORST ihop I've been in. The host was very unfriendly and had a nasty attitude. I also think I saw the host take an imprint of my boyfriend's card number with receipt as he swiped the card. The waiter extremely slow and served my boyfriend and I RAW hash browns with the endless pancakes. It also took him 15 minutes to bring out the second order of pancakes, and 20 minutes for the last order. I will never come here again. read more

My coworker and I went there today for lunch. We were seated at a small booth for 2 people. Minutes after that, we saw a cockroach crawling on the table! I jumped up immediately. The waiter apologized and seated us on a bigger booth. Then I understood why there would be cockroach. There were food on the floor everywhere! Cut up bananas, crumbs, and garbage, especially under our now 'different' table. The food took forever to come, ice coffee tasted like crap. My appetite was killed completely by the cockroach and the dirty floor. At the end, the waiter once again apologized and explained to us the place was recently renovated and that was the first time that happened. I said it's all about the sanitary of the place! Look around yourself!!! That's my first time there and definitely be the last! read more

Great IHop! My man Ahmad (spelling?) took care of me and does it exceptionally well! The food was great, the service was superb. Look for the tall, black fellow to wait on you. He is the best you can get and I was impressed with him from start to finish. Plus, the food tastes great. May I suggest the Split Decision-- eggs with bacon and sausage and french toast and pancakes. How can you lose? Good deal folks, I will be back. You guys make it happen,and for that I thank you. read more

I wish I could give this place a negative star. Went there on a friday night. Host didnt look to happy to be there when I got in. He status down. 15 minutes sitting there, no one came up to us to take our order. I could hear all the workers in the kitchen laughing and singing and rapping. Place was empty, you me n my partner and one other couple there. They were also waiting for the waiter/waitress. The host was sitting down in a booth talking to two other employees. He didnt even noticed that we were sitting there waiting. We left after sitting there for 20 minutes with no service, he didnt even apologize. Like where is the management to this place? read more

Breakfast rarely disappoints. My favorite IHOP location in the area. When you come in, ask for Kyle. He's very accommodating and happy go lucky server that's great especially if have kids. Don't forget to save your receipt and do the survey for FREE pancakes or the same amount off your next visit. read more

My girlfriend and I went here on Valentine's Day for dinner. It was great! We both had the turkey with stuffing, mash potatoes, broccoli, cranberry sauce and gravy dinner. It was so satisfying. Then we had a strawberry/banana/cream/whip cream crepe that was so delightful as our dessert. Great service and great food. Definitely worth the trip! read more

Man, this has to be the best IHOP experience EVER! Our server Maria, who has been here since they opened 24 years ago and is 78 but doesn't look it; made or experience phenomenal ..... Who uses phenomenal at IHOP, that's how you know the service was great. The food was good too lol. read more

Waited over 25 minutes at the one in Totowa .. drove out to the one on Rt 3 and in the same 25 minutes, was seated, order taken, served and paid my tab .. excellent service, nice lady and decent food.. read more

A few years ago I went here with one of my friends. It was super slow and so was our food service. When we finally got our food it was horribly cold. I went back recently thinking that maybe it was just a bad day. I was wrong. The waiter got our order wrong and argued with my friend that he was wrong and the waiter was right. In what world does french toast sound like belgium waffle?!?! Never again with this ihop. read more

Well, it is what it is, it's said. Good pancakes and coffee. The breakfast sampler eaten by my partner got a thumbs up also. Service was very good. The atmosphere was LOUD, filled with kids and seniors. Not bad or anything like that, but you can get this stuff anywhere, so I'm not sure what the draw is. It must be the blue roof. :-) read more

So just left IHOP and the manger was the worst no business sense at all! I never wrote a bad review but I am so upset at the treatment by the manager that I had to write one! Lights went out and when it came time to pay if you had no cash they wanted your credit card information to charge you later!!! When I asked for a discount manager flat out said NO Honey! First of all I'm not her honey and second of all she was just RUDE! At least a 10% discount or maybe offer a coupon for us to return anything would had been nice! The only good thing I could say was that the waiters were nice but the manager was so rude that it made for a horrible experience! The experience was so bad that I truly believe I will not return! read more

As far as IHOP goes, this ones a little nicer but the sale crowded ambiance with hurried turnover of tables, kids riddling the place, wait staff hurried and scrambling. Food orders are usually spot on and the food is really good breakfast. read more

Chicken Fajitas Omelette and Chicken Florentine Crepes with their new Mango Orange Mimosa is just awesome meal. They have good portion size and tastes good too. read more

There is this amazing waiter name shawn and every single time i am here he is so attentive , focused and well mannered he needs a raise or higher position asap. He always gets the orders right he always comes by checks if we are ok I appreciate his service it makes my day read more

When we needed something for example a spoon we had to wait a good 15 minutes. Me and my family are Very disappointed.

I like the franchise from memories as a kid and breakfast food is okay. I tried giving this a chance one last time last weekend. If you go at peak time for breakfast takes forever and packed waiting times. The real problem with this place is the location and it attracts questionable/rude clientele frequently. I've even saw a family fight outside once during late BREAKFAST which was ridiculous but not surprising . I've seen Ignorant people hanging outside sitting on railings smoking or w/ their Pitbull selfishly disregarding risks of children and families around. Worse, This place is also connected to the hotel next door which has been seen for seedy behavior and horrible shooting in news i will never forget... My concern was validated earlier when you see Oct 23rd 2015 article of woman shot in face....... http://www.northjersey.com/news/police-man-shot-at-howard-johnson-on-route-3-in-clifton-1.1439969 I don't recommend this location if you are a real family person. read more

Great & fast customer service with great food. The cooks know what they are doing. The waitresses are pretty and friendly. It's packed on the weekend and we had to wait about 10-12 mins before being seated. read more

How could anyone have a bad review for america's best pancake house ?! Love love love.

possibly the worse service so far. waitress already spilled orange juice on us, no one cleaned it as of yet. we had to clean the table. and she kind of laughed about it. not a ihop i would return too. waiting now on food, let's see how that goes? as yes, i forgot, no mgr yet to come to us, say sorry. like we have orange juice on us, orange juice all the glass behind us. so not even the mgr has the decency to say any! read more

Not the best IHOP I've been too. Service was fine but the hashbrowns were drenched in oil. I sent them back and the second ones were no better. There's a lot of options around this area. I don't think I'll be back to this IHOP any time soon. read more

Amazing service. Amazing food. If you think about going to the Totowa location keep driving down the highway and visit this one. Ten times better service. read more

I've been coming to this IHOP for the past 3 years every week. Kevin and his staff run a very friendly and efficient restaurant. Dee has been our server for many years and she always does a fantastic job. Highly recommended. read more

The blonde host is so nice, on weekends he might have a little attitude but it's probably cause he gay. He has the nicest voice, like a angel, he needs to lose some weight tho that'd be my only complaint read more

Took my daughter to Ihop in Clifton we walked in and just stood there for about 2 minutes everyone was in the kitchen. Then they finally realize we are standing there and seat us. waitress was very nice. my daughter ordered waffles with strawberries after 20 minutes the waitress brings our food out my daughters waffles are hard as a rock and ice cold. They blamed it on the strawberries (stop) also someone kept screaming in the kitchen making a loud screeching noise. very unprofessional. They need a manager there at night to baby sit the kids working there. read more

ihop burgers are not that great like they advertise but there pretty good for the price and the soda taste a little flat but yet again the price was reasonable read more

Always good . Very good staff. Always very pleasant and accommodating . Family of four for 40 bucks you can't go wrong. Packed on weekends but always enough seating . Best breakfast for your buck . read more
