I went in today at about 3 pm to inquire about a job application thinking that it would've been a good place to serve. I went in and waited about 3 minutes with no one greeting me while i could hear probably 3-4 staff in the kitchen talking quite loudly and using vulgar language. I saw one table with a mother and what looked to be her 7 year old daughter that were sitting close to the kitchen and could most definitely hear this language they were using. That is not the way you want to represent your restaurant and most definitely not a way to get a tip from your table. read more

Service: The waitress was just the sweetest. Her name was Angel and was super kind like an angel. It look 20 minutes to get to our table but it was worth the wait. 10/10 Ambiance: it feels like a nice little diner. Adequate music volume and no one was too loud. I guess that's because not many people were here, but nice and quiet nonetheless. 10/10 Seating: got seated immediately. The table was mildly sticky, but acceptable. I can't think of anything else. 4/5 Drink: I had some coffee here. It was super strong XD. It was like a slap in the face... or, taste buds, for that matter. It was okay. 7/10 Food: I had the Breakfast Sampler. Nothing was bad about it. All the food was super good. 10/10 Total: 41/45 read more

The waitress was weird and got the orders wrong. Ahe said the steak and eggs did not inxlude eggs and needed tobecorrected on the menu. We receved steak andmac and cheese. The steak was raw, she stuck her fingers in the pancakes- served on a plate so small you could not use syrup and cut it up. We were he only ones there at 2:30pm The waitress seemed dazed and confused. She went back to the kitchen area and hacked and coughed Never again!. Do not go to IHop in Grand Forks. read more

I had a late lunch there of ham & cheese omelette. It was black from the dirty grill. Did not see any cheese inside, just sprinkled on top. Toast was dry, no butter? But the worst thing was I got very sick and had to go back to my motel room for the rest of the day!!! read more

absolutely terrible. never come here, the first time me and my family came here we waited an hour and a half for our food to come out cold and disgusting. my mother had a WRAPPER of the cutlery in side of her butter on the pancakes. and my trifling ass waffle has hair in it. this is the worst experience i've ever had with any restaurant. -10/10 never again. this place needs to be closed immediately because not only was the food shit the service was even worse, our server was sitting in the bathroom on her phone vaping basically the entire time, probably seen her about 3 times the whole almost 2 hours we were here. read more

IHOP - wrapper in the pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Grand Forks, North Dakota

See all

Good food. Extremely slow service even when not busy. I'm aware that servers are hard to get.

DO NOT GO TO THIS IHOP! This is the absolute worst IHOP or restaurant period. We were seated promptly but waited 25 min. before we asked the hostess if we had a waitress. The waitress came took our Drink order and took another 30min. Brought our drinks incorrectly then came back and left. Came back later and typed in our Food order. We waited over 45min. for our food and it was wrong and cold. Our drinking glasses smelled like eggs And coffee was cold. We never got any refills. She left the extra food with us that we didn't order, we had to repeat what we had ordered and still didn't have our orders right. Asked for refills and napkins and waitress never came back. We went to the hostess to pay for the ticket and she went to find the waitress. The bathrooms were full of poop and pee (Both men and women). The kids came out disgusted and said they couldn't go to the bathroom at all. I took my kids to the car while we waited another 15min to pay. Overall, the server was not rude and the hostess was nice but the service and food were terrible. We will never eat at that IHOP again. It was very dirty, food cold and a Very long disappointing wait. Total time there was 11:30am- 1:45pm. We went to the gas station to use the bathroom and they said everyone in town knows to not go eat there. Smh, someone in Management needs to fix this place. read more

Lack of communication! We were sat in a section & not offered anything to drink. My husband had to call someone over. Apparently we were in a young lady's section who was about to get off ( her words). Our order was placed & everyone else received their order but US! The waitress who was "off", I can see her in the kitchen from my seat so I know she saw us with no food. To busy in the cook's face but I'll mind my business. If she was off she could have still advocated like, hey where is their food. Anyway, this was my first time coming & will be my last. There was no communication between the hostess, wait staff & kitchen. Horrible! There was one waiter, young guy who tried his best to help. We were there today Sunday about 1pm. We were sitting near the kitchen. read more

The most disgusting IHOP I've ever been to. The carpet is sticky... the carpet. The food is nothing but oil and grease. I mean not surprising it's a large corporation. Don't eat here. read more

Been here four times this week and had great food and service each time. The two ladies that have helped us are really great about offering combos or modifications to meet what I'm ordering. Food, so good. The kids have never left with anything left on their plates, nor I. It's been a great meal to start our long busy day. Well miss coming here when our trip is done. read more

This place has become our go-to on our way to Fargo for shopping. My over 60 year old family love this place because of the prices and quantity of food they receive. If I can impress my family with a restaurant like IHOP, then I've won in life. If you've been to an IHOP, then you know the quality of food is by no means 5-star or Michelin. But I love getting breakfast food here! Anytime of the day. The pancakes are always fantastic. The staff have always been friendly, helpful and prompt. I've received better service here than some 4-5 star restaurants. read more

Now, there's something about this IHOP that absolutely gets me. Whether it be the fact that the two times I've gone it's been almost entirely empty, or the fact that for those same two times nearly two years apart I'm almost certain we had the same friendly old waitress, OR the fact that Winnipeg's IHOP feels like a sterile vacuum-sealed office cubicle in comparison to the warm, wooden, cozy interior of this location; this place is a winner. It's pancakes, and it's coffee, and it's respite. read more

Awesome service! Fresh hot food, refreshing as the I hop in our home town is terrible, our server was awesome! We actually went back the next morning again for breakfast because we had such a great experience read more

Went there at about 11:50pm after a concert and about 10 customers were in there. The Hostess told us it would be a 25 minute wait for a table so we left. Guess they did not want to clean another table! One of their own employees was also waiting for his food and bitching too! This place sucks on customer service!! read more

I love Breakfast food! Ordered the 2x2x2 and was not disappointed. Service was fast and friendly. Convenient location just off the freeway. Free WiFi -- yessss!! :) read more

Food was good, it's IHOP, so if you expect more than good pancakes and coffee, you are in the wrong place. The service was quick and friendly. The only issue we had was that the server forgot to bring creamers over for about 10 mins, but she felt bad about it and was extremely attentive thereafter. Good all around experience. read more

Dunno why so many people are hating on this place--anytime I visit, i get seated right away and food arrives in decent time. Sometimes the hashbrowns aren't always done the way i like them, and sometimes pancakes are a tad dry, but the food is still good overall and I have always had excellent service. read more

I don't know what people are complaining about. Friendly service at the door, led to our table, drinks and food ordered and received with minutes, hot and tasty with amazing service from Christie! read more

IHOP - Mmmm coffee! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Grand Forks, North Dakota

This IHOP is horrible. The food is subpar and the customer service is equivalent to the cafeteria serving line on orange is the new black. I have Stockholm syndrome because I keep coming back to this restaurant abuser. read more

Very disappointed. I am not a person to complain but this experience drew the last straw. After a dance, me and three friends decided to drive thirty miles to IHOP to enjoy a fun outing and to get some delicious food. However, upon arrival we were told it would be a 15-20 minute wait. This was at 1 AM, meaning not very many people were in the restaurant. We decided to wait. 30 minutes later we were finally seated down. As we were walking to our booth, a couple told us to check our food because their food was not cooked fully. Another red flag. In those 30 minutes of waiting, we looked at the menus so we knew right away what we wanted. The waitress asked for our drinks and we told her we were also ready to order. We all ordered milkshakes. She told us that the milkshakes will be out in 2 minutes. 10 minutes later we finally got those milkshakes. They were NOT blended. Full strawberry and ice chunks. One of my friends ordered steak tips and eggs with onions on the steak but no mushrooms. Our waitress came out to ask our friend what exactly he wanted on the meat, so again he said onions on top of the steak, but no mushrooms. She said perfect because we have no mushrooms anyway. Fast forward to when we finally got our food, pancakes were cold, hash browns were not fully cooked, and my friend had a whole bunch of mushrooms with his steak. Not only did he have many mushrooms, he had 3 pieces of steak. 3 bite sized steak chunks. Being so disappointed with our food, it took us barely 10 minutes to eat and we asked for the checks. 5 minutes later we get the checks only for her to realize she didn't ring them up right. So we had to wait about another 5 minutes for her to get new checks. We see that we got charged $5 for our milkshakes, that were child sizes, not blended, and just a little bit half way filled up in the cup. I told her that I was upset that i was paying $5 for a horrible milkshake, that was not blended and just down right gross. (I barely drank any, and I absolutely love milkshakes so that's saying something) She said that it was her fault and went to see what she could do about that. After reprinting our checks again the best she could do was give us $1 off our milkshakes. That made all of us very upset. We paid for our meals, which took 10 minutes to get a few dollars of change. Also, after us having to wait 30 minutes to be seated, everyone after us were seated as soon as the entered the restaurant. As I said, I am not one to complain, but this whole experience made me very upset. Just thought I would share! read more

Couldn't even get in the place. The big mindless hostess kept sitting everyone in front of us. Don't waste your time their clueless.

Had an awful experience eating here. I like IHOP but jeez. Service was terrible and slow. Took forever. No utensils. Coffee took forever. No maple syrup? I don't want frickin blueberry. read more

I have never given a place a bad review, but I am appalled by how rude the guy working was. I understand that it's late, But IHOP is a 24 hour restaurant. My husband ran in to get an order of pancakes to go and the guy working through a tantrum and literally said they were going to stock and clean before they made our food so it's going to be a long time before we would get it. My husband was taken off guard and asked if they were not open 24 hours and the guy said they were and then tried to get his order, but with his attitude I'm sure he would have spit in it. Thank god Denny's is across the street and happy to make some money. I don't know how that guy has a job in customer service. I see why they have him working at 2am. read more

Had to wait a long time to be noticed for seating. The place was not busy either. After being seated the service was 'ok' and the food was pretty good. After the meal I could not get a waitress to notice me. I waited for 8 minutes waving my arms at every waitress I saw. Finally followed them into the kitchen so I could pay my bill. Tempted to just walk out?! Makes you feel invisible. Management needs to do some training. read more

Bad IHOP... another bad restaurant from Grand Forks! Grand Forks, probably has some of the worst restaurants! The food here has no flavor, the kitchen was dirty, and we had to wait a long time for our food and check. read more

If I could give negative stars I would. We waited 20 min to get seated then the host told us it would be a few more minutes because the kitchen is trying to catch up. This is the second time this has happened to us. Either you need to hire more help or hire new management. The worst thing is the food is usually very good, but people don't go out for only the food, usually the service is what people want, and the service here is HORRIBLE! Go to Perkins, better food and way better service. read more

When this place is busy, expect to wait over and hour for your food. While waiting in line they took people's names down on scrap paper with a crayon. People waited while there was an entire section empty. Apparently workers with long scraggly hair aren't required to wear a hair net. I suggest you eat elsewhere. read more

If I could give a negative review I would, the place is filthy, the seats are duct taped and filthy, there is a strong smell of old grease and filth throughout the building, the back of the booths were greasy and dirty from hands,DO NOT WEAR CLEAN CLOTHES. Waited at the door for almost 3 minutes, empty building, staff was very inattentive. Left and went to Denny's just down the street. Needed to wash up as I had touched the door at IHOP and got more filth. I would suggest hiring a manager that knows how to operate a restaurant. read more

Not sure about all the chirping on IHOP. Went there, was greeted immediately by friendly server, got my food right away and it was excellent. Ignore the bad reviews. I was very satisfied and will return. read more

I was at the IHOP after a trip out to the bars for breakfast, and guess what they tell me? They're looking for the cook! Don't make the mistake of coming here when you're hungry! read more

Myself and two other people walked in and the hostess at the door said it would be a 5-10 minute wait. After 20 minutes, another group of people walking out, looking upset, let us know that they sat and waited for almost 45 minutes and that their meals took another 45 minutes to an hour to get. My group and about 10 other people ahead of us walked out. What we all noticed as we were talking outside was that the whole right side of the restaurant was empty and the other group that let us know about the service said there were also empty tables everywhere else. This was the first time I was eating at an IHOP, and it's nothing like I had imagined. I rated everything at a one because my experience didn't get as far as sitting by the door. Sorry. read more

Slow, slow. Third time here and always the same slow to seat and sub-par food. Diet Soda was flat, side salad was sad. The bananas had seen better day. The crepes were good. Find another place for lunch or breakfast, just not worth the frustration... read more

IHOP - Pile of diced tomatoes and red onions on wilted lettuce, not good. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Grand Forks, North Dakota

I've been to IHOP three times, all three times, had bad experiences with service. The food and menu was good, but the people i came with and I all got sick afterwards two of the three times. I wouldnt recomend this place if you don't expect to be there all day, because all three times I've been there, the waiter or waitress forgot about our table and it took almost an hour just to get drinks and get our order taken.Then, another hour for the food. The first time i was there, i ordered the southwestern style omelet. It tasted good and it was definitely enough to fill someone up. We had waited about 2 hours because our first waitress forgot about us twice and then left and didn't tell the next shift's waitress about us, so we had to get the manager to take our orders. The restaurant was busy just before we got there but still, I think the system should be more organized. After leaving, the majority of my group, including me, had bad stomach pains and nausea. The second time was better, we were only forgotten about once and the waitress apologized that time. I ordered the low fat blueberry walnut pancakes and in my opinion, they were very good. None of us,(my family and I), got sick. It was definitely better than the first time, but i think more organization would have made it an ideal experience. Yes, I returned again. At 2:00 a.m., only because the other restaurant in town that was still open was packed. I ordered the same thing as the last time and the service was fast, because we were the only ones in the restaurant. The food was surprisingly good for orders made at such a weird time, but once again, My friend and I got sick again. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant if it is busy, just got done being busy, if it is late at night, or if you can't handle food poisoning. It does have great food, but if a newcomer asked me where the good breakfast places are, IHOP wouldn't be at the top of my list. read more

Friendly staff, good food and large portions. Service was a little slow but you don't come to an iHop if you are in a hurry anyhow.

Best omlets in town. The server with the blue tint in her hair was attentive and quick and very polite. We were seated right away and the food was super fast, restaurant was clean, food was great. read more

Despite all the bad reviews, my food came out very quickly, waited less than a minute to be seated and had great service. Only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the seats were ancient, my particular seat was actually half duct tape. The bathrooms were deplorable at best. So update the inside and the bathrooms and fix the monster potholes outside and this place would be 5 stars read more
