We went to IHOP for supper. Our waitress was Ashley. She was a very pleasant young lady and truly seemed to care that we were well treated. Our food was very good. I recommend this IHOP for anytime you are hungry. read more

The BEST service I've ever had! From the hosts to the servers, everyone was polite and helpful! My server Joanna was so attentive to my needs and made my experience worthwhile! read more

Yesterday I went out to eat with family and I was stopped by a waitress and she said that she will need to charge me for my 1 month old baby just because he was taking up space, which was weird because I have never paid for my baby's space, don't know if it's a normal thing but was kind of mean, if my baby was eating I would've paid with no problem but as you can tell he can't eat. Just wanted to put this out there.. read more

I understand that sometimes things happen and servers get busy but the floor & table that they sat us was dirty, filthy & unsanitary. There was food everywhere & they served me on a dirty plate. It was my nephews birthday but they didn't get us his free stack of pancakes instead they gave him a small cup of icecream which was fine. i order a burger & replaced the buns with lettuce and they just gave me the bare patty with lettuce trimmings on the side. it was laughable but was not an enjoyable experience. we were forgotten & did not receive any refills. over all the experience was not pleasant. read more

IHop is a great place to come to to eat especially if your waiter is Kevin because he does very well at serving and checking to see how your doing throughout your meal. read more

I have eaten many, many pancakes. So I consider myself a bit of a pancake connoisseur. My son and I went in to the International House of Pancakes for supper on a Wednesday evening around 6:00 p.m. From being seated next to the kitchen, where the staff was wrapping silverware and talking. I ordered coffee with cream and sugar, a short stack of buttermilk pancakes. and two sausage links. The service was s-l-o-w, and she was acting rushed, though there was hardly anyone there?! My coffee arrived, it truly was luke warm and yet, had a burned taste...like it had been sitting a while. When my dinner arrived every thing went downhill! My pancakes were so cold the butter never did melt! My sausage links were cool and did not look done enough. Breakfast food is considered to be comfort food and about the one meal most folks can cook pretty easy / sadly no one had shared this with the chef. Needless to say this experience was very disappointing! Arrived hungry and left hungry - I won't go back! read more

The strawberry pancakes are terrific. I also really enjoyed the BLT in my latest visit. Service was good and quick. Coffee hit the spot. The atmosphere is a bit loud, but also exciting. I'll definitely return soon for a treat with family. read more

We visited the SE 14th Street IHOP around 1pm today. They weren't overly busy, but had lots of employees on the floor. While food was tasty, my husband was asked if he wanted syrup for his pancakes. We thought that a bit odd. Issues that concerned us (1) We had to flag down our server to let him know we were ready to order. (2) A gal swept and mopped the dining floors while people were eating. While there was a "Wet Floor" caution sign on the floor, it wasn't in a place where most people would see it. We observed 7-8 employees standing around the food window talking and laughing loudly. We most likely won't be back. read more

This was probably our best experience. Food was great, loved every bite. Our servers Sydney was amazing as Well. Very friendly and checked up on us at the right times. She's a gem, if you get her you'll have a great dine in experience. Overall 5 stars read more

Arriving at IHOP on a Tuesday morning around 8:00 AM is a perfect time to walk right in and sit right down! We had immediate seating and service. If you stop in I hope you have Christian as your server. He was up beat, friendly, prompt--exactly what I look forward in wait staff. The menu now is a simple 2-sided laminated card. The multi-page menu is not used. Our order came surprisingly quickly, but this is a breakfast place, right?! Pancakes, eggs, bacon or sausage hit the spot. Coupled with a big pot of coffee and we were set. One change I noticed following the Covid pandemic was that a selection of syrups is no longer provided. Rather, a cup of syrup was served for each order of pancakes. We found exactly what we expected. A good breakfast. Couple this with good service, the unknown variable, and we had a good start to our day. read more

Food was amazing. Always taste amazing. Service was great. Very prompt and ready when ordered.

Called to try and place an order, waitress put me on hold and never came back, that was the first experience.... Tried to call today, busy signal for over 20min's, so physically went in to place the order, apparently ordering from here is like ordering from McDonalds, if they get your order correct it's a miracle.... checked my order before I left the parking lot on a whim, and then had to argue to get a refund. read more

Was seated and had to wait on the waiter/waitress Bacon was not Cooked all the way so asked for cooked bacon. Onion rings should always be golden brown and they are not. read more

IHOP - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Des Moines, Iowa

Little did I know that ordering breakfast from this place was going to completely ruin my Saturday in town. I ordered an omelette with a side of pancakes and got the worst freaking diarrhea of my life. I had about a dozen bowel movements in the span of 10 hours and After the 5th time i gave up any thought of going outside as I was too afraid to leave my hotel room and not be within immediate proximity of a toilet. I don't know wtf they are putting in the food there but I will never ever get food from IHOP again. read more

Where do I start........ I ordered breakfast with a side of Sourdough toast. Since when does an order of Sourdough toast consist of one piece of bread cut in half for $1.99? And it was a small piece of bread even! Ridiculous! Since when does the manager roll her eyes when the server goes to let her know the table has an electronic coupon? AND..... Since when doesn't the manager come to the table to activate your electronic coupon and instead sends to server to retrieve your phone and bring it to her? Excuse me, that's my phone, now I have to watch you like a hawk to be sure you're no screwing with my phone and writing your own YELP review? So much for the SE 14th street IHOP being the best one in town. Only because I have to give a full star to place a review are they getting any star at all. read more

Sadly the cooks don't know how to prepare lightly done pancakes. The waitress doesn't check her food and serves them not as ordered. They did offer to remake them but really if they couldn't do it the first time my confidence level is not real high about that, and I like to eat with the rest of the table. There was an offer to comp them but since I ate the only light one and a couple others I didn't feel that was right. Had to ask for a drink refill. The manager is kind. The restaurant is clean. Makes me miss Illinois IHOP. Word that describes this 30$ visit best is disappointing. read more

IHOP - What this ihop calls lightly done pancakes. Yes they call them both lightly done. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Des Moines, Iowa

The food was good, fresh pancakes and French toast. But the server was rather clueless. She took the order of the table when I was still undecided. Rather than wait another 30 seconds for my order, she waited until the rest of the table's food was done and served them before she took my order. I then had to sit for 10 minutes while everyone ate before I received my food. The server didn't see anything wrong with that, and I was quite irritated. It's too bad poor staffing decisions have to bring down the rating of a restaurant with good food. read more

Went early and it was a decent breakfast... kind of in a rural area. The food service was fast. Noise level was minimum

Probably the best IHOP I have ever been to. Fast service, quality 2x2x2, and super friendly staff. Was going to give a 4/5 but was slightly disappointed with the sanitation of the restroom. Outside that, keep doing your thing Des Moines IHOP. read more

We like this IHOP. They are generally fast, the food is good with many seasonal specialties and menu updates and they are good with kids that may be eating with you. Of course we usually get breakfast here any time of day, so I'm specifically speaking of those yummy breakfast options. From crepes to French toasts, the wonderful options abound. read more

Came in to get breakfast food that I have been craving for a few days! Was not even remotely let down. Great service. Fast and accurate. Friendly. And large portions. I suggest the strawberry cross-croissant! The ooze is under going some facelift stuff but it is not at all messing with the experience. read more

IHOP - Syrup choices and strawberry banana juice! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Des Moines, Iowa

I haven't been here in years. I used to come here every night after work when I worked at Southridge Mall. The service was okay. It took us about 10 minutes to get seated and we were the only people waiting. The waitress took our order and our food came out fairly fast. The steak tips were good but not great like I remember. I should've gotten the soup instead of salad. I did not enjoy the salad at all, I received my French salad dressing in a Kraft packet...really? read more

This place is a toilet. Food is the worst I've ever had. No health standards are followed. Worst diarrhea I've ever had. I was throwing up before I got to my car. read more

I am more of a Perkins person (I love the apricot syrup), however I HOPE is a close second. Usually good service & pretty good food. I usually get the 2x2x2 with two pancakes, two eggs (scrambled), & two pieces of bacon (crispy). When I worked at the Best buy across the street I used to come in on Sundays before we would change our signs, around 4:30-5am & had the nicest server. read more

This place is kind of bad even compared to other Ihops. I asked for poached eggs (no, I don't know why) and they kind of just laughed. I got over easy. But hey, they serve you at 3 am in Des Moines. Where else are you going to go? read more

This ihop is by far the best my fiancé and I have been. Amazing service, answered every question we had. The wait was not long at all. Amazing food drinks were great, wasn't too hot or cold. Good music and it wasn't too loud or soft. Will definitely go back we were are in the area. read more

The few times we've eaten here have been mediocre at best. Only eat here if everything else is closed.

I generally love IHOP, and this one did not disappoint. Service was fast and friendly and the food came quickly.

atmophshere is nice. I was seated and waited around 10 minutes for my server. the food was good although when served the server stated they were remaking the pancakes because they were made incorrectly and the chefs just flipped the "new" pancakes over and served them. after asking for them to be remade the chefs visibly pointed into the dinning area and the server came back and said they were incorrect again. it is understandably not the servers fault but it wouldn't be a problem if the chefs put all effort into their job and instead trying to cut corners to paying customers. read more

I'm pretty easy going when I go to IHOP....love their omelets and pancakes...I generally have good luck with this IHOP. I eat at this one about five times a year...with all the restaurants in Des Moines, it's hard to make it here often. But if you want friendly service and good breakfast, this place is solid! read more

We had a wonderful experience, the parking lot was full and assumed we would have a wait. We were seating promptly by the hostess and our waitress Tammy was wonderful. We received our food within minutes and even offered to go cups for our drinks. Would come again!! read more

Great place to eat. The service was great and our waitress Ashley was amazing and super friendly. You really can't beat the prices.

I cannot believe the absolutely horrid service I received here!!! The staff constantly messed up my order (honestly they brought the wrong plate three times!!! I understand once but seriously...three!?). When they finally got me the right order the food was cold!!! I love a good omelet and a big stack of pancakes as much as the next guy but if you are in driving range of anything else, please go to it!!! The manager was also horribly unhelpful and refused to at least compensate me something to make it up to me, not even a freaking coupon!? AVOID!!!!!!!!!!! read more

The french toast specials you have on are a joke. I ordered the peach one and got 3 slices of peaches. My husband ordered banana one and got three tiny pieces of banana. COME ON!!! When you have specials at least give customers some of the ones they order. Waitress was nice but I thought like throwing your CHEAP specials at the wall. read more

I have had nothing but good service here. I have had many things on the menu. I only have one complaint over all the times I have eaten here. I ordered a steak medium when I got it it was well done. other then that no complaints about this place. I love the fact they have Pepsi products in stead of Coke products. read more

We were floored by how good this place was. Really tasty hot dogs (Onion Crunch is amazing) and fruit juices (Coconut Champagne - couldn't get enough), great service, and the prices can't be beat. Location is fantastic, too, and there's bar seating up at the front window so you can people-watch while you eat. read more
