IHOP is always a reliable stop when you're craving a classic breakfast. We were seated immediately upon arrival, which is always a great way to start the morning. I ordered the waffle combo and the Belgian waffle was exactly what you want -- soft and fluffy on the inside with a golden, slightly crisp exterior. I kept it simple with whipped cream and drowned it in that butter pecan syrup... YUMMY. The combo was supposed to come with double meat, but I only received two strips of bacon (lol). I also ordered scrambled eggs (hard) with cheddar cheese. When my first plate arrived, I noticed a hair, but my waitress quickly took it back and the remake came out piping hot. The potatoes were tasty as well. Overall, it was a pretty typical IHOP experience. The food hit the spot, though the wait staff were mediocre at best. read more

If you've been to one IHOP, then you've basically been to them all. This IHOP was no different. I stopped here in earlier hours, about 9am on a Friday and was immediately seated. I needed wifi and to get some work done pretty quickly and this IHOP was super convenient for that reason. & to top if off, I loved my food - it was actually selected after seeing the table next to me looking good, so I ordered the same (pictured). My server, I believe her name was Faye, was super sweet and attentive. If I return, I would absolutely reorder what I had here (pictured), and hope that have Faye again for a server! read more

I visit this IHOP every so often because I love the breakfast.. The servers are always very polite but super stressed. If it's not the customers, it's the kitchen . Perhaps it's the customers because of the kitchen. Today I heard the cook yell at the server when a customer asked for more hot sauce. Why are you questioning the server if the customer is asking for more sauce. I dare you chef to get behind the counter and come and ask the customer - in the same way you did the servers why they want sauce! Servers have enough pressure! WE CAN HEAR YOUR MOUTH! Work as a team. read more

My favorite IHOP is this one right here in District Heights. In a time where good customer service seems to be a thing of the past, I can count on this establishment to always serve it up! The majority of the staff is relatively young and seem to understand the assignment when it comes to work ethic. That's a sign of good management. The staff are always polite and seem eager to please the customers. My spouse is particularly picky and has a special order that the staff and management remember better than I do. And the one time when the kitchen just couldn't get it right, the manager Danielle made sure it was just right for that picky Leo spouse of mine. Thanks for great customer service. read more

The food was horrible. I rarely rate this low but it was really bad. I would not recommend at all.

I've tried this location several times since it's close to Athletic Republic and I find myself on that side of town pretty regularly. I can't do it anymore though. There are some workers who are friendly and seem to care, but service is usually suspect. Gets crowded at times on the weekend which is understandable, but service lacks at times even when it's not packed. Forgetting basics like providing silverware without having to ask multiple times is hard to justify. Wait times for food seems excessive at times and my last visit, they had ran out of jelly and lemonade. The omelette and hash browns we had were overcooked and the protein pancakes I order all the time at other locations tasted so weird there, I couldn't even eat them. If you want IHOP, any of the other nearby locations is a better look. Sorry Forestville. read more

This is my husband and I got to spot for breakfast. Love the staff and the food is always amazing!!! Thank y'all for great service and food

This ihop sucks. Service sucks and everyone is in the kitchen flirting and not cooking my food.

Absolutely terrible experience. This was my first time coming here -- and my last. I stood at the front for 5-10 minutes and not a single staff member acknowledged me or offered to seat me. Every employee up front looked miserable and uninterested in helping. I finally walked out and won't be returning. After this, it's no surprise their reviews are so bad. Wish there was a 0 star button read more

Review from 2018. Came here with some co-workers to take advantage of their annual discounted short stacks. (it costed 60 cents back in 2018) When we came around lunch time it was busy but I did see a few open booths but the tables were just not cleared. I think their staff just needs to better manage the floor. When we were seated at lot of the syrups needed refilling. We started off with just getting water, which was lukewarm. Not very impressed at this point. It was hard to flag down a server after our orders came out. We each ordered the short stacks and one of us ordered some chicken tenders and fries. At least the short stacks were good (hard to mess up pancakes though). My friend said the chicken and fries were good. Overall: service needs improvement (like pretty much all the sit down restaurants in the Capitol Heights region). Food is fine for an IHOP. read more

The food was very good and our server Tee was INCREDIBLE. Better than any 5 star restaurant service I've received!

1 out of 10 don't recommend listen if nasty and not clean was a restaurant this it!! just don't go! I'm not blaming the staff but I wouldn't let my dog eat there if the floors nasty that let me know out the gate what the kitchen like! That's my judgement no one has to go by this!! Even down to the restroom yea I'm good won't be back! Oh by the way after I said my grace the food was good! Do what you will with this review!!! read more

I came here today and had breakfast with my Mom. Tony who was at the front entrance and names because there was a short wait time he was funny and so nice. Ore was our waitress she was suggestive as we couldn't make up our minds. She was so nice and kind, if there was something we didn't like she'd take it back immediately and ask what would we want to enjoy instead. I got the steak tips & eggs the steak tips were cooked perfectly and the eggs had the right amount of cheese, my mom got a spinach mushroom omelette that needed flavor and the spinach itself tasted like it was just thrown in no effort of seasoning at all. I would come back here tho because I order from this location anyway but through UberEats sometimes. I loved that this location was cleaned , it was decorative but the bathroom was absolutely FREEEEZING!!, you would've thought a window was opened!! Or frosty the snowman himself made an appearance!! lol so definitely wear a long coat as it's a little drafty in the building in general read more

I understand businesses get backed up, however when allowing for order ahead you should adjust the ready time or alter people that it's a busy time. I ordered my food and waited 40 minutes before I received it 45 minutes after ordering. I had to ask several times and the young lady was walking like she was in an old school wedding. I asked for a refund and was told my food was coming. The guy checked & came back stating it was ready. When i asked where it was he said it's been plated. But mind you I asked to cancel. Then i was offered a free drink. I declined & asked for additional syrup. The young lady said ok and just stood there until I asked again. Now imaged had I accepted the drink that would have been an additional hour. Several people walked out without their food and others were waiting just as long. Again i understand it gets busy but communication goes a long way. read more

I ordered Cheesecake pancakes and got regular pancakes with strawberries and whipped cream on top. guy at the table next to us couldn't even cut his pancakes. he asked the server for strawberry syrup. his response was "yall adults ask the table next to you. " food horrible service horrible. y'all have to do better. read more

Where do I start? Went for breakfast with my mother and our three grandchildren. We thought I hope would be a no-brainer however, you were sadly mistaken. They crammed all the people that came in into one small section of the restaurant and didn't even use 2/3 of the rest of the restaurant. When they sat us down, they gave us each a bag of plastic silverware, and napkins to use. I thought possibly the host gave us the wrong thing, but when I asked for silverware, the server brought us more plastic silverware. When I questioned that they didn't have actual utensils he just told me that something's wrong with the guy washing dishes and he can't keep up. Since we are considering we were all eating off plates. I got the gluten friendly pancakes and I swear they must've been bad. They had a weird sour taste to them. Was not cheap to eat there and actually the only thing good about the restaurant was the server and I think his name was Dante. Would never go back. read more

I honestly don't know how folks keep ordering from this location! I ordered my food online at 10:46am, while the app said my food was ready at 11:10am, here it is 12:45 and my order now has to be "remade" as it sat up front, but none of the obviously incompetent staff could find it, telling my wife that it "wasn't ready"! It obviously a case of poor leadership, the staff doesn't know what's made or what's going on up front and the manager has no clue what's the staff is doing. read more

Not going to be a long review because it is a IHOP. Most times if you been to one you have been to them all. I came here at dinner time but you can eat breakfast any time you ask me. However this time I did eat dinner. I had a turkey wrap that is new on the menu. Actually wasn't that bad. Otherwise they were clean, and gave good service. Nothing new to see here :). read more

Worst customer service I've seen for awhile. Several customers came in sat down and then left after no one helped them. Plenty of staff in the back but it seemed none of them wanted to come out. When a guy finally did he had an extremely bad attitude. Won't be back! read more

You ever wake up one weekend morning but justtttttt don't feel like making (back home we'd say "fixin") breakfast? Yeah, with full-time jobs and an active toddler, that's often our story. That's why we're grateful for the local IHOP. While super busy on the weekends (make sure you plan ahead), I appreciate the service, the food, and notably the ownership that the staff demonstrates when they miss the mark. We're all well aware of the food IHOP offers, and this location is no different. But their service is impressive and, along with good food for those of us who need a breakfast-making break, it's definitely worth a visit. Oh, and a special shoutout to Rebecca. The order tonight was wrong. Didn't notice till I was home. I called and she immediately took ownership and made things right. I appreciate her and the team there for their service. read more

Went to this neighborhood IHOP with my family on 4th of July for breakfast. Upon entrance I was advised by a gentleman leaving to go somewhere else because service was slow. Unfortunately, I did not listen. We were seated and the waitress came 10 minutes later and took our order. While waiting I observed the utensils were visibly dirty so I requested plastic utensils. The wait for food was ridiculous! I questioned the waitress and told her it had been 30 minutes since we ordered pancakes and eggs which should not take long to make. The waitress advised that people dining in were waiting longer due to a back up on to go orders which made no sense to me. Shortly after threatening to leave the food miraculously arrived. My pancakes were not hot, the butter was not even melting which was unacceptable after a long wait. My boyfriend got an omelette and requested no onions and there were onions in the omelette and on top. I requested the omelette and cold pancakes come off the bill. The Manager just took 20% off the bill and never even came to the table to speak to us. Service is notoriously bad in this area and nobody cares enough to demand better. It's all about demographics and becoming accustomed to bad service. Go somewhere else like the gentleman said! read more

Plenty of parking. Located at the edge of a shopping plaza. Stopped in for a late breakfast. Staff was extremely nice. Service was fast and the food was great. read more

I can't even deduct one star! Vera was our waitress, she was kind and sweet and a half. She refilled the coffees and kept checking up. I ate the spinach & mushroom omelet. They automatically put the hollandaise on the side. It tasted a little lemony and fresh. I want passing on putting any on my omelet, but when I did, it took the meal to an amazing brunch worthy tier. Pancakes were perfect, typical IHOP. My wife had the Milk & Cookies pancakes. She said they were not too sweet and were better than Metro Diner's. We had breakfast in DC yesterday at a 4.5 reviewed place, the food here was better, believe it or not. Try and see. read more

Recently I took family to have a good time but I was disappointed with IHOP # 582 in Forestville MD. Very ugly atmosphere, needs a deep cleaning and fresh environment. There is a bad smelling, food not in good shape, even the coffee was weak and bad taste. The division managers really need to pay attention in that location. ATTENTION PLEASE! read more

I wasn't going or actually I wasn't thinking about giving a review but my omelet the poblano was so good I'm sorry I don't have a picture But it was so good like. I'm hardly ever give five stars but I had it delivered through Uber to my hotel and it sat down stairs for at least two or three minutes it was still hot when I got it I also got a drink package and my coffee's were still hot I have not a thing to complain about at all. The sauce that goes over the top of that omelette was excellent oh my goodness I will definitely order that or at least look at it when I get back home to Rhode island for sure I'll look for it. It came with a side and I picked three pancakes but I'm so full I'll just save those for later read more

It's been years since I visited this location and honestly I didn't want to go. However, I went with a large group after a function. I was really impressed with the service and quality of the food. The sirloin steak tips were so yummy and good. This place exceeded my expectations and for it to be a pretty full of house all the patrons were conducting themselves in a good manner. I likely will not return because I'm never in that area but wanted to share my experience. read more

Came in with low expectations and was blown away at how far they came to even meeting that. First, had to fetch someone to greet us and seat us. No or limited A/C in the building which was uncomfortable. Next, there was only 3 tables sat when we got there, of which all 3 had already received service. Two tables were sat after me and my guest. 10 minutes after placing our order, which we placed before the 4 top and single that came in after us, we were told there's only 2 cooks and that it would take extra time. We were also told by our server she was the only one on the floor (as I looked around and saw at least 3 other servers standing around.) The frustration really came into play when i saw both tables that came in after us get their food. Additionally, I asked for my salad and she said she couldn't get it to me until cooks made it. My only ask in my order was no tomato and of course it came with tomato. Ultimately took about 45 minutes to get our food. Only positive is the food was good. Will not be returning to this location. read more

Oh my goodness! This place is something else We came in and saw that it wasn't to busy Yet we waited over 30 mins for our meal. And it's like they can't remember anything. You ask for a ketchup bottle your better off getting up and taking one from the other table read more

I've been eating here, usually once or twice a month, for several years. Almost always as a party of one. Generally, I have always received good to excellent service, and the food quality was good. The few times there was some kind of problem, I found that the Manager on Duty, was able to resolve the problem with little fuss. Maybe not the best iHop, but new franchise ownership has done a great deal to getting the cleanliness up to standards. read more
