Went to IHOP with my fiancé, and unfortunately, it was a miss. Ambiance was a typical ihop. The service was mid, but the food was the real disappointment. I ordered the sirloin steak tips & eggs with crepes. The crepes were weirdly thick, rubbery, and just not good. As for the "sirloin steak tips"... let's just call it mushrooms with a sprinkle of steak.The whole dish was greasy and underwhelming. My fiancé got the waffle combo, and even that was just... meh. Maybe they were having an off day, who knows. If you want to try your luck, I won't stop you but personally, I won't be going back. read more

On the day of the huge blizzard we decided to check out the nearest IHOP for a great breakfast before the storm. The place was packed especially given location to a Hotel. Service was good although a hint for the hostesses to leave extra napkins and serve a hot pot of decaf coffee in the morning. As seniors e had the rise and shine and it was cooked well (reminder offer jam with the toast). The Manager greeted us when we arrived and left. read more

PROS: This place was very nice to eat at. The waiter Josh was very polite, and the food was good and came out in a timely matter. They even have a waitlist on Yelp. This place was clean and had loads of parking. CONS: This place opens at 7am which is a tad late. I would think 5 or 6am would be a better time to open for the early birds OVERALL: Excellent place to come to and have breakfast, or even the other two meals. Unless you're looking to eat super early this is the place to come read more

Service is always good, food tastes the way it's supposed to. Restaurants cleaner than all the other ihops near us too.

Went here for the first time in 3 years, with a bit of trepidation. Past visits were fine, but a lot of bad press recently for restaurants in general - staffing, service, food quality, etc.. Walked in, immediately greeted, taken to a requested booth. Great job with the tall, clear plastic dividers between booths. Everything was spotlessly clean. Service was prompt and efficient. I generally don't name names, but Lisa was fantastic. Order came out quickly, completely correct, extra toppings for the wife's Swedish Crepes. Generous ingredients in my bacon omelette, hash browns were "perfect". Coffee was hot and tasty. I will agree that prices have jumped in the past year, but the quality and portion size was still very good. Glad we gave it a try. read more

Please visit the Morganville location on Rt. 9N and do not waste your time or entrust your hunger to this location. I'll share more about Morganville's location later in this review. I originally wanted to pick up from Morganville but I couldn't get through and the online order feature wasn't working properly, so I picked up from this raggedy location on Rt 18. I placed a pick up order on Easter Sunday for French Toast. Once I got home it was clear my order was not French Toast but fried bread, the cinnamon egg mixture batter was missing from the "French Toast". I immediately contacted the location to report the mixup. The "manager" confirmed she packed my order and was sure the French Toast was done correctly. Disregarding that I'm calling her back to report the order was not done correctly and that I had fried bread in my hand. She asked if I had "Texas Toast", which has nothing to do with the order NOT being French Toast. The "manager" refused to redo the order or offer a refund because she "packed the order and didn't add powdered sugar as I requested." I reiterated packing and cooking an order are two different events in a restaurant. Basically she didn't give a crap the order was wrong and took zero accountability. I filed a complaint with IHOP corporate offices at www.ihop.com and Joan Boyle, owner of location 4684 sent an email confirming she spoke with her manager and the manager said she packed and prepared the order correctly and will not issue a refund. Not even an offer to redo the order. No solution whatsoever on Easter Sunday or classic food service management. Plain fried bread without cinnamon egg batter mixture is French Toast, who knew? ‍ As promised, more on the Morganville, Rt 9N location: In 2018 my to-go order was not up to what I normally expect of this location and I reached out the store manager. The manager not only replaced the order, in addition offered two free dinners! This was more than generous and unexpected! 1. Cleaner location. 2. Preparation of food is better. 3. Modern decor. 4. Customer satisfaction orientated. 5. Costco, and a lot of other useful retailers in the same plaza. Believe the other reviews here. This is a dingy IHOP and my second option in the area. read more

Even in the state that practically invented diners, IHOP has a place. This IHOP is surprisingly popular, and was mobbed the Sunday we were there. It took awhile to be seated (we were a party of twelve; it was a 20-minute wait), and it took awhile for food to get to us. Friendly service. I went for the Split Decision breakfast ($8.29) - two eggs, two bacon strips, two sausage links, two triangles of French toast, two pancakes - which easily fed me. Several cups of coffee washed away the remnants of alcohol from the night before. This restaurant will do in a pinch, but may I recommend a nearby diner instead? read more

I especially like their breakfast 2x2x2 for seniors. Their bottomless coffee and pancakes are so good. I would definitely recommend going there again. As it is a national chain their standards of menue and service is pretty uniform. It's what you expect to find at any IHop you visit in the country. read more

I am meeting a business associate and arrived early. The place is half empty with no wait. I simply want to sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee while I wait. Staff refuses to sit me because my party is not here. I just want to sit like a human and drink a cup of coffee while I wait. read more

Was never really a fan of IHOP, preferred their competitor..but the girls wanted to meet there last nite. The overwhelming selection of pancakes,omelettes and even crepes would send any diabetic into shock. I've had their usual breakfast but tried something I've never had there, their banana nutella crepes...3 words!! Oh my goddess!! So bad for me but so good except the guilt this morning is wrecking havoc on my subconscious. Lol I figure eating there once every 10 yrs isn't so bad...if you're on a diet this is not the place to go.. they do have French toast hot chocolate which the girls said was delicious...they also offer more than breakfast, such as sandwiches and dinners. They also have a kids menu. The selection of pancakes and crepes are endless as their omelettes also. You can even build your own platter with eggs, meat and pancakes. They also have a mighty selection if French toast. Their coffee is decent also. Service was spot on the server left us alone to talk but checked up on us when necessary. Which was good so we didnt feel rushed. It wasnt crowded when we got there but as we were leaving it started to get busier. Definitely a place to check in if you are craving fattening pancakes,crepes or French toast. Me personally I prefer diners...but they do live up to their name international house of pancakes and more... read more

Came here for dinner. Service was terrible. When waiter took order, looked at us like we had 10 heads and didn't understand what we were saying. Boyfriend asked for extra gravy for biscuits and gravy, didn't get it. I had eggs Benedict and the hollandaise sauce was so lemony. Had to ask other waiters for creamer for coffee and to pay check since our waiter couldn't remember to bring them and walked passed the table when the credit card was sitting on top of the receipt to pay. And the place had few ppl in there. read more

It's safe to say IHOP represents International House of Pancakes. My advice, only eat that, nothing more, nothing less. Dec 24th around 1am, I came here after doing my last minute Christmas shopping with a friend of mine. As I start to walk up to the place I see the person who's gonna be seating us through the window. Once I finally make it inside, he somehow manages to walk to the other side of the dining area, sits down, and begins a short break. Totally ignoring he had 2 more people that just walked in. A waiter spots us standing there confused, and signals for him to come back to the front. We make our way over to our table and it wasn't long before our waiter comes over to us to take our drink order. It wasn't that busy so he could take his time getting our order right. We review the menu one last time and made our selection. We start with a Chicken Quesadilla as appetizer. Then I ordered a melt sandwiches, spinach and roasted peppers I believe it was. I also got a Fajita Omelet. My friend orders the steak tips. Our drinks come out and I immediately spot something in my drink. The ice cube looked funny. Normally, when you look at an ice cube its supposed to be clear. This ice cube happens to be cloudy. Never seen that in my life. Then my friends straw looked like someone chewed on the straw. I wish I could tell you I was making this up. After waiting and waiting, I said out loud I have a feeling he forgot the appetizer. Shortly he arrives with our main dishes and of course. He forgot the appetizer. He did apologize. I start to eat away at my melt, overall not bad. My only problem, the onion rings were old and not fresh. They were over fried too. I saw my friend put a beef tip in his mouth, and after a few chews later he spit it back out. The texture of the beef was funny. My omelet tasted like someone took cold salsa from chips n salsa and poured it over my omelet. shame on me for not reading salsa was a topping. It didn't represent that in the picture. Overall, I've been to some great IHOPs, but i think their starting to lose their edge. read more

The last couple of visits here were kinda eh. My partner and I had walked out the second we were seated after noticing a hair strand on our table. After giving this place one last chance, it turned out to be our last. I ordered the breakfast sampler and my hash brown and eggs were so cold and stuck together with little to no seasoning. My toast was very dry and brittle and they rushed us the entire time. The wait staff isn't the worst, but they could honestly do better with who they hire. Will definitely be visiting another location. read more

We visited from Philly and Stayed at a nearest hotel and came here for dinner ,and breakfast next morning ! Food was not fresh and the staff was more bad and got bad attitude both of the time . Usually the people at IHOP ain't that rude ! Or I have never been to one before like this . Save your day by avoiding this "can't you make your own breakfast home " attitude and go somewhere else . Terrible read more

I'm not usually an IHOP fan but I really enjoyed my experience here. We didn't have to wait, the service was friendly and quick. The food just seemed better than other IHOPS I've been to. and it's OPEN 24 hours! awesome for late night breakfast cravings. read more

Nasty hostess, rude, would not allow me to bring a bottle of "outside" water in to the restaurant. Like it was a5 star dinning establishment!! Very unfriendly! Waitress was annoyed when we asked to move to a booth instead of a table! What's wrong with these people!!! A hostess also great for nasty eye rolls towArds customers!! read more

The boxes and the service was very slow. The box broke on the car ride back to my house so it shows they can't hold the food properly

I came here in the morning around 10 for my dad's birthday breakfast. Luckily we came early enough and only had to wait 10 minutes for a table. The waiter came quickly and brought us the drinks we ordered. However he vanished for a good 10 minutes after that so it took a while for us to actually order. My mom and I ordered a 'make your own omelette' with a hash brown and buttermilk pancakes while my dad ordered the Strawberries and cream crepe without cream. Since there was a bit of rushing took a bit of time for the order to arrive. When my dad got the order, there was cream on his crepes and he wasn't happy and the crepes were quickly exchanged into one without cream. In my opinion the food was average just because I have better at other restaurants. But the food quality is pretty good for suburban NJ. read more

Haven't been to ihop in over five years. Recently went here with a friend. Not sure what's going on but it's not the same. The hostess has a mean look on her face, as though she's pissed with life. The waitress gave service like she didn't give a damn. The condiments needed to be refilled or replaced. I had to flag down other waitresses to get sugar, extra butter, napkins, and water. We asked for softened butter and was told the microwave is broken. We also needed food trays to take food home. Can the food trays get any smaller!!? We had to smash our food into the ONE tray the waitress provided. Will NOT be going back!!! read more

The only reason I'm giving this IHOP only 4 stars is due to the spotty service. Not that the waitstaff is bad. But sometimes they go off in the corner to be on their phones or shoot the shit. The food on the other hand is always excellent! Their new burger line was surprisingly good, but I'm a sucker for their breakfasts any time of the day. Be it their big breakfast sampler or the cheeseburger omlete! And my favorite dessert, pancakes!! I can't resist their pancakes!! read more

Breakfast . Pancakes with crispy bacon . Pancakes tasted like led. Not made fresh but tasted frozen . Bacon was cold and very dried out. Bacon was extra charge! 3.13 for 4 slices. Could only eat half of entire meal. Daughter orders French toast with strawberries and bananas. Strawberries were frozen and mushy after trying to heat up. Complete mess and couldn't finish ... Check was 26.00+. I wouldn't go back there if it was free! Awful ! Stay away . read more

IHOP is a standard place to go when you are need of a quick an easy breakfast. Headed to IHOP on State after a concert at Starland Ballroom. The food was standard IHOP. Got a 5 stack and coffee. The bacon was a little overdone so I wondered if it was reheated a couple of times. It didn't taste bad. The pancakes were good Coffee was okay. Our service was great ... I am bad with names but I believe her name was Jaime. Decent place to grab something quick and cheap. read more

What can I say? I usually love IHOP but not this one. When you walk in, it smells very odd like everything was cleaned with a dirty rag. We were seated very quickly as the place was not full. We ordered chicken fingers and a burger. The waitress didn't bring any napkins and when she brought out the chicken fingers, they were burnt to a crisp. First and last time. Save yourself the trouble and go somewhere else. read more

I stopped by this IHOP thinking it would be a corporate standard; I was dead wrong. This place was just a dump, and the only beacon of hope was the young woman Lauren who was my waitress. She was great, and my advice beside the $20 tip I left: Quit Now! I was appalled by the food that was cold and not to standard; I returned my RTF&F twice before forcing myself to eat it. The amenities of this place was bogus, the WiFi sucked and I couldn't get my iPhone to authenticate, and the other staff: all "jersey trash", except Lauren who was sweet and upbeat, even-though the donkey faced hag, Joan, who was the supposed owner/manager; more looked like she knew the business end of a crack pipe, was just a disgusting witch who ruled her house of pancakes like it was Dachau. Seriously, DO NOT GO HERE, unless you want to see a total abortion of an IHOP and risk rectum cauterizing diarrhea. This place should be shut down, dowsed with gas, and purged from the good name that is IHOP. read more

Everything was great except the fact that the eggs were undercooked. The tres leches pancakes were good and very creamy.

II have not been to an ihop in years and know why. Overprocessed food at high prices. A diner anywhere is a better option. I had a ham and cheese omelet and was disgusted by the white liquid goo I assume they classify as cheese. How does this chain stay in business. I guess that is why I was alone in the place. read more

This was a terrible Customer experience. You turned my party away even though we paid far in advance. This is the worst management I've experienced at ihop and I advise you to immediately speak to the people who are currently working on a report for the New York Times that reveals how ineffective wait staff at can be at establishments like this one. The man who served me was so unnecessarily rude--I respect his professionalism but have no respect for his attitude toward clients. Don't book a party for your table here--they are apparently incapable of organization and basic kindness. read more

I have been to IHOP many times...because the food is decent....because it's nearby. I have had some challenging service experiences, but most of the times its well worth the visit. Today was an excellent experience! Lauren was great. Lauren was communicative and attentive. In the end, she said we were the best table of the day and I have to say the appreciation was mutual. read more

Massive chain. Cheap prices. Mass amounts of food. Now, what does that tell you? Great service? Best tasting food ever? Amazing presentation? No. Please, you're kidding yourself if this is what you're expecting. Why do people constantly expect the world when you're paying $5 for enough food to feed 2 people? Come on now...something has to give. Expect less, you'll be happier more often. IHOP - place where you get a lot of subpar food for cheap - I'm a fan...when my stomach is ready for it! read more

So, I know that this is a chain restaurant. I actually had really great experiences eating at IHOP in Miami. But I had a pretty awful experience my last time here. And well, I am never returning again. The waitress was really slow with the order. Then, I received my Caesar salad with the grilled chicken being raw on the inside. I actually cut into it and saw a bit of blood. So, I was really calm about politely asking the waitress to grill the chicken further. She came back 20 minutes later with the same chicken. I cut into it again and saw raw chicken breast. After that, I was too embarrassed and disgusted to ask for another dish. I ended up eating the salad leaves and leaving hungry. Not a fan of their pancakes either, rather quality over quantity. read more

A pretty average IHOP that's open 24-7. Not really too much to say here, unfortunately. Me and a large group of friends come here once every month or two for a late night dinner. Service is generally pretty quick, and the food has never come out incorrectly, so that's a plus. The place is kept *generally* clean, though it could use a good carpet cleaning one of these days. Not sure what's up with the bathrooms, but during the winter, the men's room is like a walk-in freezer. Absolutely freezing in there, and I'd imagine the women's room is about the same. Late at night, they don't like to split the bill onto more than one credit card, which can be a serious hassle when you have friends like mine who (for whatever reason) never carry cash when hanging out. Not a huge ordeal for me, since I carry cash, but something to keep in mind. As far as IHOPs go, though, this one is pretty standard. read more

So here goes my first review on Yelp and unfortunately it is not a good one. Was anxious to try the new burgers at IHop after seeing all the publicity over changing their name to IHob. Let me start off by saying that the service was kind of lacking but that is not entirely the fault of the server as she was performing other positions since there was no host, busser (don't want to call them bus boy as it Is too gender specific), or cashier. I wouldn't have been surprised if she was also cooking. So let's talk about the burger. I decided to order the brunch burger with fries. Now I have had this type of burger at other places and really enjoy the egg on the burger. After taking my first bite I had a slightly burnt taste in my mouth and upon inspection of the burger I saw why. In addition to the egg they also add hash browns and I had noticed that the hash browns where way over cooked and thus the culprit behind the burnt taste. Once I ditched the hash browns the burger itself was pretty good. Now you have to ask yourself "would you go back?" To be very honest with you my answer would be I would but I highly doubt it would be for a burger. Overall I felt my experience was incredibly lackluster and is one of the reasons I will rarely be back. read more
