It had to have been over 40 years since I ate at an iHop. Good service and typical breakfast house selections haven't changed in all those decades. Seven of us were greeted, seated and served very efficiently. We were celebrating an 8th grade promotion and this was the graduate's choice for dinner afterwards. All seven of us were very pleased with our various selections. I was pleased to get to order lots of a la carte items, making my own dinner my own. Although good, the biscuit was different in texture and taste than I was expecting. Just a head's up if you happen to order a biscuit. read more

This IHop is really good! Service ambiance and food were exceptional and surprisingly good. Everything we ordered was on point. Will be back! read more

IHOP - Spinach mushroom omelette with side of chocolate chip pancakes; chicken fajita omelette with side of banana strawberry pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Foster City, California

Great service, quick serving of food, price is right, and food is good. Im a 'savory substance in the morning' kind of person, so I have mashed potatoes and salmon or shrimp etc. And the fact they get that right and serve it with a smile, efficiency, and ease is why I highly recommend. read more

This place is my go to breakfast spot for years. this restaurant in particular is located in foster city. I've noticed how well manage the facility is, as it is kept neat, clean and highly organized. It does gets busy but it doesn't take long to get seated. The staff are friendly and accommodating. of course, as always, they have varieties of options to choose from on their menu and every single time I've tried something it always comes fresh and made just the way I like it. every requests I have specifically on my food options due to my diet restrictions have always been fulfilled without hesitations or concerns. The manager, has always come around to say hello and check on everything which I appreciate. that's why I won't hesitate to return to this place at anytime I feel the cravings for some good morning breakfast to start my day. read more

IHOP - Buttered English Muffin with pancakes. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Foster City, California

Manager extremely unprofessional. Called in and asked for their 4th of July hours and if they still had pancakes. He proceeded to call me a piece of shit and said they ran out of pancakes. Not entirely sure if it actually was the manager because when I called in and requested for a manager, it sounded lime the person on the phone left and came back, pretending to be the manager. Whether it was the manager or not they were extremely unprofessional and rude and should absolutely be terminated. I've been to this location before and usually the staff is respectful but when I called in today it was absolutely ridiculous. read more

Arrived with a pretty sizable group (10) people in total a simple breakfast. This location seemed the best location for group size, parking and convenience. Fairly easy to get to and the staff was very accommodating. Now keep in mind this is an IHOP so it is not a place that serves high and brunch or breakfast, but they get the basics done fairly decently. There was a substantial order from us from Sunnyside up eggs, to the country fried steak with mashed potatoes and greens, to the stack of pancakes, a fruit, medley, cold, iced coffee, brew, and another assortment of basic breakfast delights. Our waitress, (Briana), was so sweet, polite and professional. She handled our large group with ease and made sure we were always taken care of. We never had to search for her or even wait to put I. Any request with her. She was truly the best part of this experience. I hope she gets recognized for her amazing professionalism. The food was the definition of basic or as the kids say (mid) Lol. I do want to be clear and say that that is no disrespect to the hard-working chefs here. But it's a chainRestaurant. I know I am not going to get the best ingredients and flavors from an IHOP. My flavor palette won't be ignited at a place like this but it's a good value and convenient for what you get. Overall, 2.5 or 3 of 5 is the best just for the food. Although, there is plenty to parking, a clean dinning area and delightful staff. The food is the main focus and the review speaks for itself. read more

I went to I-Hop that day to try to eat. I checked the maps to see if they accepted pets, and it says they are welcome pets. When I arrived, they didn't let me in because they aren't allowed inside. I showed the person the map description, and they simply said, "We don't have control, but we don't accept pets," and we had to leave. I called the I-Hop in South City and asked, and they did accept my pet. I don't understand why they don't provide the same information and service! read more

Went to IHOP in Foster City this morning for a team breakfast. I ordered the T-bone steak and eggs with a side of strawberry banana French toast. The food was just okay, nothing impressive. The quality wasn't great, especially for the steak. However, the service was excellent. Our server was attentive and friendly, which made the experience better. Overall, a decent chain spot if you're looking for a casual breakfast, but don't expect anything special. read more

this place seems like a new building. The service was too. Mr. Tony was a very nice service and very prompt and paid attention to all his tables. Funny guy too ! The food was fresh and tasty. Im a Texan so I had to get the chicken fried steak. The ambience was nice and calm and very clean. Con: parking. Is around the back of the building. My mom has a handicap parking I just found it strange how the handicap parking is at the back of the building . It's a bit of a walk for a handicap person . But this place is still worth it. Thank Tony ! read more

IHOP - Very cute sinage - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Foster City, California

Haven't been to an IHOP in AGES. But have no bad memories of them. So decided to drop by today. Place was open. Clean. Staff were pleasant. I was acknowledged immediately and seated as soon as the server was free. The table , menu, condiments and seats were clean and not sticky at all. Most places open to the public that have syrup available will have random icky yucky yuck yucks about. But I didn't feel one arm hair get plucked my whole time there. My server was polite and presentable and articulate and several other staff members checked on me too and were all professional And presentable. My coffee was hot , yummy, and bottomless. My waffle was perfect and tasty. My bacon was flavorful and crispy. My eggs were properly poached and not gross or watery. My hash browns were yummy , well cooked and seasoned. My country fried steak was crispy and actually super flavorful. The gravy was a bit watery and didn't have any yummy sausage crumbles. Which I dunno if it even is suppose to have sausage. BUT IT SHOULD!! Anyways. I had a delightful meal surrounded by pleasant people in a clean place and I ate like a porky pie piggy and my bill was under $40 but I got $100 service. So hop on in your car and head to IHOP! See what I did there ? Lol I'm super critical of my breakfast experiences and if it isn't actually good I won't usually write a review or even bother to come back. But this was actually a really great breakfast experience and I will be back. read more

My son was craving chocolate chip pancakes so we headed to IHOP on a late Saturday morning. We were seated immediately, but then we sat there for probably 7-8 minutes before the waiter came to take our drink order. Again we waited for ages, the waiter came close to our table, then turned around and went back to the kitchen! Finally, after several more minutes, another server brought us our drinks. We placed our order, waited and waited, until I finally complained because everyone else, who arrived after we did, were already eating! The server apologized, offered no explanation, and our food came out several minutes later. Food was ok, but we were starving so we probably would have eaten anything! We will never return to IHOP! read more

Ordered for curbside and they never brought it out. I went in 10min after I got a notification that said your order is coming out and it was just sitting on the counter. The lady inside said sorry we were in the office talking. And the food was cold. read more

Because IHOP (Foster City) is nearby, my husband and I go there at least once a month. We find the service staff friendly and professional, the facilities clean, the food quality reliable, and the value for money excellent. They also offer a 10% discount for seniors. It's our first choice for breakfast. Although IHOP is a very casual and ordinary restaurant, we really like it. read more

What's there to not like about ihop? The reason you're going here is because of the predictable taste and service and cheap but quality food. Got the omlette and pancakes as a side. 10/10. Would absolutely come here! The foster city one has a cozy, non franchise vibes, with lots of locals. The ambiance is vibrant. Service was great! Great spots with kids. Fuss free eating and dining at very reasonable prices. Paid $32 for a nice breakfast, would be exactly double outside. read more

Long overdue! I've been coming here once every few months for their breakfast and the food and service is excellent! Depending on the time and day that you go there may be a wait, but lately there has been no wait which is nice. Service: 5/5, the nice host greets you, waiters and waitresses check in and are very nice and friendly. Food: 5/5 always tastes great here so that's why we keep returning! Parking: there is parking but the parking spots can be a little narrow/small. Overall: will be returning! read more

Showing my age when I suggested House of Pancakes to my husband who said do you mean IHOP? Well, of course, haven't been in years (Foster City location). Updated interior, nice and fast service, clean, and a $7 breakfast menu from 7 am to 10pm. Yes, $7 ! The food was good. Coffee was as I remembered. Still served in a carafe. We enjoyed our omelette, fluffy pancakes, eggs and bacon for half the price. Simple, nostalgic, and so affordable. Wish there was a House of Pancake closer to home. read more

IHOP - Small portion. Salmon has recycled oil taste. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Foster City, California

The worst customer service ever. The waitress overcharged us for a 55 and plus meal and then refused to adjust it asking a 65 year old person for an ID to adjust a meal for two dollars. We've been going there for over four years. what's even funnier? Is that same meal was part of a special that was only seven dollars compared to the $12 she was charging us Any good waitress would've told us that we were over paying for a meal that was on special but not this waitress, horrible customer service spoke to the manager about it will never go back. read more

It is a terrible service, I waited a long time for them to come in and take my order and I decided to just leave.

I love this place!! Antonio is always so kind and the food is YUMMY! I ask them to have my omelets cooked with minimal oil and the cook always makes it super clean and delicious. This place is very cozy too. Every waiter we've encountered always goes out of their way to give us a great experience. I highly recommend this place for clean/ yummy food with a cozy atmosphere :) read more

The breakfast served here is a joke! Almost $17 for a ham & eggs breakfast that consisted of 2 tiny pieces of ham, 2 eggs, hash browns & 2 pieces of paper thin greasy bacon. I could taste the grease of the unclean grill on all of the good. Disgusting!!! I almost thought they had served me a Kids plate by mistake. Coffee was another $4 besides the breakfast. A total ripoff! read more

The three stars is for the waitress (4 stars if she didn't keep asking me was everything alright). The food was okay, it was room temperature. The only complaint is that my bacon I didn't eat because it tasted like it was bad. Like they found some old meat sitting in the corner. No thanks, you're not going to make me sick. But overall, the restaurant was very clean. I probably won't go back in, but I will order online for pickup. read more

Sure IHOP has served the community for years but why do more people keep coming back? The location in Foster City is hands down the best I've ever been to and I've visited several. While the General Mgr Mr. Resendiz seems to guide his team effortlessly & is extremely personable with the public...his team members walk around with smiles. Leslie N. has served me more than once and she's consistently impeccable with her customer service. Fact is the entire team looks like they enjoy working there and I've never had an "avg meal". I have to tip well. I know some customers might leave a couple bucks on the table. Don't be avg with tips when your service is impeccable! Let's face it, the general public can push on nerves when they have a "Bad Day" and this team takes your "Bad Day" & turns it into a very positive experience! Can you imagine if IHOP ran an airline and called it "Int'l House of Passengers" and this team served us? Wow!! Let it be known this team could easily be recruited to an upscale restaurant because they "All" are that good! I've been there a dozen times this year & I'm willing to believe Leslie memorizes people's faces & associates a face with what they order. Maybe other servers do that too but who's to say? This location is Clean too. You could white glove it and just see a white glove. Their bathrooms are spotless too. Holy Moly! Dinning booths are comfy...no tears. The dinning room is spacious and bright. It's a very positive experience from entry to exit. You guys rock! read more

3.5 rating for me :) Went on a vacation to CA, and bumped into this iHOP.. We had a good run, and then went to for a breakfast :) we were hungry for sure, but the food we got could have served my whole family :) lots of food.. be sure what you order and if you can share one item/dish.. half of what we ordered we wasted :( Bulls eye, and egg pancake was awesome.. my kid loved the banana berry pancake too, but he couldnt finish 25% of the pancake :) coffee was average, but they let us refill coffee... customer service was good, but it was crowded and took us sometime to get a table.. once we ordered we had to wait another 15 mins to get our food.. and it is expensive than a regular breakfast place :) costed about 30-40$ for 2 of us.. overall it was a good expensive breakfast :) read more

I met a friend for breakfast here just as San Mateo County went into the "Yellow Tier." I called in advance and was told that indoor dining was available with safety protocols still in place. Since both my friend and I got vaccinated we decided to give it a try. As soon as we entered we were immediately greeted by a masked server. There was a large hand sanitizer at the entrance. Right away I noticed that the tables available for seating were spaced out between closed tables to keep with social distancing. I also noticed everything seemed very clean from the tables to the floor. The Men's restroom was also very clean. Our orders were taken quickly and subsequently brought out quickly. I had the Belgian Waffle Combo and my friend had the Breakfast Sampler (55+). Food was good and we had no complaints. Our server was efficient in constantly checking to see if we wanted any coffee refills. When he left our bill he told us there was no rush and to take our time. All & all we felt safe and comfortable. Good positive dining experience for us as we felt like we're slowly going back to normalcy! Easy parking (parking lot) & convenient location (off of Hwy 92) is a bonus too...therefore overall 4 stars. read more

I didn't have high expectations after reading the reviews, but I have to say I was impressed. I came in at 7:30 on a Sunday morning to try the unlimited fries. When I see unlimited, I come running... There were two other tables already eating and I was seated immediately. Less than a minute later, I placed my order and waited. I'm not sure when I was served because I was starving and ate right away. What I can tell you is that I finished my burger and first round of fries by 7:40. My next round came out five minutes later, and my third round 5 minutes after that. I would have kept going, but I had to be somewhere nearby at 8:00. The burger was delicious. I'm not sure if it was because I was hungry or if it was just that good. It was a simple burger, but man did it hit the spot. Juicy, hot, fresh. The fries were pretty good, as well. They were hot and crispy. They tasted like perfect fries you could make at home. For $6.99 for a burger and unlimited fries, I thought it wasn't a bad deal at all. The burger was a decent size. The fries kept coming. I prefer this over Red Robin (I should note that I like smaller cut fries much more). On top of it all, the service was great. I was greeted by everyone that helped me. I was constantly checked on. I left happy. read more
