Wasn't really expecting a ton from our visit here but wanted to give 4 stars for our quick and efficient service we received on a Sunday morning! We must have beaten the breakfast rush but our server was awesome. They have plenty of pancake flavors for the kiddos to choose but their kids meals were actually fairly priced still! One plate was plenty for our two kids to share. The poached eggs on my eggs benedict were cooked nicely. My husband tried the new bbq pulled pork omelette which was a huge portion of protein for the price! Definitely have to give some credit to this otherwise average chain restaurant. read more

IHOP - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Elk Grove, California

Well it's Sunday and practically every Restaurant is busy. Our wait time for 4 people was around 30-40 minute wait time. Which is not bad at all especially since I did request a booth. The ambience was much better however, I noticed while waiting for our table the front door entrance was not Wheelchair accessibility. You had to help the handicapped people with opening the door. Our server Britany was oh so patient and knowledgeable. I was impressed with the menu and the variety of dishes including gluten free food. We ordered the Blueberry Pancakes, Scrambled Eggs with bell peppers, onions & Slice of Ham. Chicken Biscuit Sandwich, side of Waffle, Hamburger with French fries and a Spinach & Onions Omelette with a side of ham. I also, ordered a to go order Chicken & Waffles. Our food was delivered heat hot and very tasty. We will be back. read more

My friend and I visited this restaurant this morning and, overall, had a good dining experience. The restaurant is conveniently located in Elk Grove, CA on E. Stockton Blvd., parking is somewhat limited, the outside of the restaurant and outside grounds are visually appealing, the inside of the restaurant is okay, but needs to be renovated, etc., and cleaned better, I was not greeted upon entering or thanked for visiting the restaurant upon leaving, our table was clean, our server was efficient but not too friendly, the food was good and served within 10 minutes of ordering, the temperature in the dining room was adequately warm on a cold morning, and prices for food were reasonable. read more

IHOP - The front of the restaurant from E. Stockton Blvd. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Elk Grove, California

They took 10 minutes to seat you and then after they took orders was a 40 minute wait for food. The waitress was running around take orders and bringing drinks to everyone. Look like short of help. Food didn't taste food and was cook fully. read more

Came with my partner and ended up waiting over 15 minutes with no service at the front. It's clear how understaffed they are but we were still willing to wait. A worker then came up to the front asked us for how many, but after we answered we were told to just wait. Then a minute after, two people came in and were asked the same, except they were seated immediately. We ended up just leaving there and then after being ignored the entire time. Genuinely extremely disappointed, would absolutely avoid this restaurant. read more

I ordered eggs benedict. Dude was potatoes. Extra I ordered was a small bowl of fruit. The food was excellent. I think this was the best eggs benedict in town. Coffee was wonderfully hot. Service: Cine was my server and was incredible. Checked on me at the right times. Friendly and she has a great laugh ( I told her I needed a gallon of coffee to wake up today). The restaurant is clean. I never saw a dirty laundry table sit for more than a minute. The greeters when I arrived were also smiling (and not that "fake" smile), and friendly. I am definitely going to make it a regular restaurant I visit read more

9/17/24 - This area is very, very crowded with cars going to a burger spot, so you have to be very careful. I manage to make it thru to get to my favorite pancake restaurant. I was seated and greeted in a timely manner which was a good thing because I was very hungry. My server was Erin and she first took my drink order which was a raspberry iced tea. It was very refreshing since it was a little warm outside. She let me browse through their new menu. They offer a lot more than in the past but I wanted pancakes no matter what time it was. I tried to tear myself away from "the sampler" because I order that every time; it's my go -to meal here, even though I cannot eat it all anymore. I don't like that stuffed, bloated feeling. I just eat until I feel full and that's it!! I no longer keep eating. My sampler arrived and believe it or not everything, everything was hot, even my scrambled eggs!! I dove right in and spread the butter on my two pancakes and poured a little syrup. These pancakes are so good until you don't need a lot of syrup. I ate a little of my pancakes and put some of my hot scrambled eggs in my mouth and it was good, then I tried my hash browns, they were hot but their hash browns at all I-hop's need an up-grading to a real potato, these taste like shredded something--I don't know!! The bacon, sausage and ham were superb!!!. Erin came three times to make sure I was fine. I didn't feel isolated since I was a lone diner, but I did notice when I came in there was another lady and one man sitting alone. The restaurant was bustling with parents, grandparents, friends and a lot of children; and more were coming in. The restaurant was clean and had a section for larger parties which was also being used. However, I did notice that besides Erin there were two other waiters. Maybe could use one more server. My breakfast for dinner was $22.49. That was great!!! I have paid more at some places. I left Erin a tip and told her that I really enjoyed my food and I had already asked for small box for my leftovers. I also commended her on her speedy and great service with a smile. I hope to return someday. I only wish my I-Hop served hot food like that. read more

Family request for pancakes after watching about a dozen iHop commercials in the last 4 hours so here we are. Kids kilt some pancakes & French toast... adults had some crepes and I kept to my Keto and went with a build-your-own omelet. It was pretty light but expected at noonish and lots of fast food spots neighboring were packed. Entire family of 5 was happy & the customer service was prompt and good. The blueberry beverage was the only disappointment, but I didn't expect a fruit-filled drink. 4 stars as even the classics can still deliver & should be recognized read more

The coffee was $3.99 for a cup which is more expensive than Starbucks... but the food was okay. I ordered the Eggs Benedict with potatoes as my side. One of the eggs was cooked a little too much and the potatoes were definitely cooked too long. For $13.99 you think they could nail a medium egg and frying some potatoes. Maybe because it was busy and the cook was slammed some of the quality suffered. Not sure as I don't usually eat here. I usually go to Denny's but decided to come here on a whim. The restaurant itself was clean, the staff were nice, but could have been more attentive, my gf's water was empty almost the whole time we were there and used a kiosk to pay since no one came to check up on us after our food was handed to us. read more

IHOP - Bacon Bourbon Bacon Jam Eggs Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Elk Grove, California

I feel really bad writing this review because I think they just might need some support from corporate. We walked into the restaurant on 1/3 and there were no customers at all. We were the only ones in there. My son was excited about the Wonka menu. I surprised him and ordered a lot of the items that were on that menu so he could try them. After ordering, we waited a while and the waiter came over and brought out some mac and cheese and fries that we ordered and let us know there was an issue with the order getting sent to the kitchen, so they needed a little while to get the rest of our food. The staff was really nice, so we did not complain. The Mac and cheese was not the usual kind they served at Ihop. It was mushy/sticky way overcooked. When we received the Wonka menu items, we were not really impressed because it didn't look much like how it did on the menu. The lemonade drink was not all that great. After we finished eating, the waiter brought us these plastic boxes with the lids. The lids did not even fit and would not stay shut at all. We thought maybe we were doing something wrong, so I asked for help. I told the waiter I didn't think the lids were for those boxes. He said they were, and he came over to help us, but even he couldn't get the lid to stay on. We just ended up borrowing some tape from him and taped the lids to the box. Our waiter also nicely asked his coworker to bring him something for our table (I could not remember what it was), and she just looked at him and didn't say anything. She was acting pretty rude. Before leaving, we did tip our waiter because he did a good job. But I don't think I would come back here. read more

Absolutely foul. We walked in after the lunch rush and the whole smelled like sewage. There was no one at the front and the girl cleaning the bathrooms came out but didn't speak English and she was not able to help. The solo waitress came and got us seated. It was still far too busy for one woman to do it all and dirty plates just sat at empty tables. The rest of the staff, including the kitchen staff and manager were all helping in whatever disaster happened in the bathroom. Customers complained but all the staff said was oh we are just cleaning, there's no problem. We could hear food being microwaved and our orders came out sloppy and fast. The entire foyer was being mopped when we left. They should have just shut the place down if there was a brother with the facilities. I left most of my food on the plate, I just couldn't get the smell out of my nose. read more

honestly this is just a really standard and solid breakfast spot. my hash browns were rly nice n crispy. sausage rly good, pause. bacon was a lil over salty but very crispy nonetheless. i ordered my eggs over easy but they were just a lil slightly under done for my pref. maybe like 30 more secs of cook time wouldve made it better. oh and the pancakes were hella gas ngl. really nice pillowy and soft. food def not bad tho!! our waitress was lowkey rly nonchalant and mysterious. seemed nice but not nice at the same time iykwim. idk she was ight. still gave that 15% tip though since im a good person. shi who am i kidding i didn't give the tip my cousin did! she paid for me n my other cousins meal bro. shoutout her!!! in return, she let me cut up in her parents tesla lmaoo. but yeah this is for sure a solid breakfast spot. read more

We've been loyal customers of IHOP for 40+ years. We would always look forward to dinner at our Elk Grove IHOP location whenever we wanted to treat ourselves. The food was always perfect and the service was amazing. I hurts to say this but our overall service this morning failed miserably. Our hash browns were border line burnt, my toast was hard, my wifes pancakes were overcooked and had to be sent back, the replacement pancakes looked good but that hint of salt pancakes are supposed to have in the ingredients was missing, the waitress was hurried, and she didn't offer use a receipt. This location has been a 5 star restaurant in our opinion until this visit. We need to decide if we will start frequenting another breakfast restaurant or give this location one more chance. read more

Place gets packed on a Sunday afternoon. There was a waitlist, but it moved faster than the quoted 30 minutes. Everything from food to service was terrific. My table shared items from their Breakfast Combo Menu. We ordered the "Split Decision Breakfast" and Breakfast Burrito with avocado on the side. Pancakes were fluffy and french toast was soft and eggy. Bacon was medium cut which I like. Burrito was filling and came with a side of crispy hash browns. Quite a few pieces of avocado, not just a couple slices. Coffee was nice and hot. Server gave us own coffee carafe so we didn't have to keep asking for refills. Plenty of seating inside and our table and chairs were clean. Pretty extensive menu, so I'd come back here again to try something new. Pricing is reasonable and quality of food was good. read more

Everything needs improvement. My birthday breakfast with my son was ruined. We came in one other person inside on a Tuesday. We were barely acknowledged, waitress disappeared. Finally offered coffee. I ordered eggs Benedict poblano style thinking I was getting same hollandaise sauce. Instead it was loaded with fat chunks of shredded meat. Looked like dog food. I couldn't eat that. Was so disappointed. Any normal waitress would have noticed my food wasn't touched. The eggs weren't runny they were like two boiled eggs on top. Soooo disappointed. The waitress might as well have been AI. She had zero personality. Will never come back here. read more

This place has a weird vibe to it. It's never packed yet service is really slow. We had to flag them a couple of times for our drinks. We tried to BOGO crepes they had on special. It was okay, nothing too special about it. They also have hoppy hour items. We tried the burger. It was good, not great. The onion rings were awesome though. Staff was nice but just really slow with service. read more

Stopped in this morning for breakfast (7:30 am). The parking lot was empty which I found peculiar but shortly after entering I knew exactly why. The temperature outside was low 40s and the restaurant was actually cooler. The ventilation system was actually blowing cold air! We asked the waiter why the air conditioning was running on such a cold day. His reply was that it was the heater that was running but the heating unit was broken. We excused ourselves and left. We ended up at Mike's across the street and frankly it wasn't much better as far as the temperature inside the restaurant. read more

I'm here for one thing, and one thing only. They don't call it IHOP for no reason. I'm on team pancakes. I'm glad they got healthier options now. I'm all for the Lemon Ricotta Mixed Berry Protein Pancakes. The best part is dousing it in maple syrup. read more

Semi busy morning that increased in traffic as we ate. We sat down, and our server was attentive at first, coming by often to check on us for orders and drinks. After the orders and drinks, we only saw her when she delivered food or the bill. All the orders came out at different times. All the orders were wrong and some charged wrong. Pancakes were like cardboard, they were also somehow extremely crumbly as well. One member of my party ate half of one pancake and didn't finish. When my order finally came out, it didn't have everything, and they said they were cooking the rest of it. When 'the rest of it' came out, it was burnt and super crispy. Ordered sourdough toast. Got one packet of strawberry jam with 4 pieces of UNBUTTERED toast. Almost as dry as the pancakes. Never saw the waitress to inform her of the problems. Ate the food anyway because we were hungry and good luck getting to talk to someone. I don't know if I ever want to go to an IHOP anywhere again the whole experience was that bad. read more

I ordered the breakfast from IHOP on this Sunday delivery by DoorDash. The packing from IHOP is excellent. However, the foods are below average! DoorDash delivers the breakfasts in less than 1 hour after being ordered. The foods are still warm. I do understand the slices of bacon won't be crispy. But when both the eggs and bacon are also tasteless. The best part of the breakfast is the pancakes and the syrups. I think they should have to work on the recipes a little harder. Primarily this is a restaurant supposed known for their breakfast! The foods are packed very well, and the containers are of high quality. The foods are ready for DoorDash on time. These are the plus side of the breakfast we received! read more

Came here for National Pancake Day to take advantage of their free stack of pancakes per guest. No additional purchase necessary, but we decided to order additional stuff as well to not feel as guilty. Service was fast for us and there was a decent amount of parking space, despite the long line of cars trying to get in the same plaza for some In N Out. Aside from that, food was good and it was enjoyable. Cheers! read more

Very poor service. My wife and I were sat down immediately, but then we found ourselves waiting for over 10 minutes with no drinks or anything. Very disappointed, so we left. We drove to Black Beat dinner , we were sat down immediately and drinks were received within 2 minutes and Black Bear was 3x busier. Overall, IHOP needs to get it together. read more

IHOP is not always my first choice. They are known for their pancakes, but it can be a hit or miss for me. We went in at around dinner time which isn't busy for them. However, the service was still slow. It took a bit for us to get seated even though it wasn't visibly busy. It took a while for our order to be taken & for us to get a check. However the food did come out quickly. The food was decent, not memorable. I will say the staff was very nice and friendly. read more

Ordered on door dash. Ordered 3 meals to my work place. No condiments no utensils. One meal was pancakes only. So we're basically eating bread by it self. Makes sense right? Spend 8 bucks for 3 slices of bread. As person who been in the restaurant industry for 13 years. This by far is the worst service possible. read more

This is our local IHOP so when my family is in the mood for pancakes and I'm not in the mood to cook them this is the place we go! We arrived on a Saturday morning about 8am, we are early risers! At this time there was no line and we were seated right away. After being seated for about 5 mins the waitress named Monica approached us. She didn't introduce herself she just jumped right to "are you ready to order"? Thankful we are pros and knew exactly what we wanted to order but geez it would have been nice to be greeted and asked for our drinks first before just getting to the point. But any who, after placing our food and drink order our food came out about 6-10 mins later. The kids menu is nice because there are plenty of different options for kiddos. My kid ordered the cupcake pancake, totally a sugar overload but he loved it! I on the other end wanted to have something more healthy and ordered the egg white omelette with a side of hash browns. The omelette was super delish! The pepper jack cheese is what really makes it yummy! My hash browns however were not cooked in the middle, so that was a totally bummer. I will say that our server Monica did follow up during our experience to see if we needed anything else. I guess it's not how you start but how you finish :) read more
