Something changed at this restaurant recently. Last year our family enjoyed the Fisherman's Platter which is three generous portions of batter coated codfish and shrimp all served to a golden brown. It was delicious. Today we ordered the same dish, but the fish was overcooked to a burnt dark brown and drenched in oil. My wife said she didn't understand how someone could serve fish that looked that burnt and charge $18. We complained to the server who offered to bring two more replacement fish. Those were cooked to a nice golden brown. IHOP needs to work on their quality control and retrain their cook. I will never order fish and chips here again but would still enjoy their delicious breakfast. read more

this IHOP looks small on the inside. many tables were not occupied, obviously impacted by Covid protocols. people were in line to get in. no outdoor dining here. parking lot is big. got take out instead. eats: mushroom & spinach omelette (12.99) -huge omelette loaded with spinach, tomato bits, onions, sliced mushrooms, and a mix of cheddar, jack cheese & hollandaise sauce. tasted pretty good. nicely seasoned. -the small batch of hash browns & sliced sour dough bread was tasty. -had an aftertaste that probably was sodium based, so 3 stars. service was fabulous, got my take outs in the 10-15 minute time frame that was suggested. wouldn't plan on eating in until after june 15th to see what guidelines are in effect.o read more

We ordered pick up for breakfast and the food was good. I got the avocado toast. They did get my order wrong though they added hashbrowns which I didn't eat, but that's fine. It's not like they took away from it. They actually gave me more but that's OK. My husband got the coney Island omelette, which he said was good so that was nice. From what I saw when I walked in the place looked pretty decent. The place is pretty busy, which is normal because it was actually Father's Day there's a little crowded which she would expect but it had great ambience. read more

I live ordering and picking up from here. What was so impressive was the passed three times I have ordered they have the food ready exactly at the time they quote over the phone. Extremely efficient. Having a hot breakfast is always a plus. Not to mention how perfect each item ordered was, exactly how I expected. The staff are great and on top of their game. Call in your order, park your car, call the number and let them know you are here, and they come right out with your meal. Quick and nice! read more

Even though there was a slight wait we really enjoyed the food. The waitress did her best and remembered everything read more

Great food but gets pack fairly quickly after church on Sundays so be sure to snag up a seat quickly!

Cristina is the best! We loved celebrating our daughter's first birthday at IHOP. Cristina worked with us ahead of time and we didn't wait more than 5 minutes to be seated. The food was delicious and affordable and the atmosphere was very family friendly for people of all ages. Everyone commented on how tasty their food was. The coffee refills kept coming and they even brought our daughter a birthday pancake. We will definitely be back! read more

They always slack on the quality when its to go here no matter how you order. Dining inside seems fine for the most part.

Well, they have done it,..again, and this time it's in San Leandro, California , on the corner of E. 14th St. and Davis. There is a new IHOP. Where they serve the greatest breakfast I've eaten in over 50 years attending the restaurants there is ample parking, and as I entered the restaurant, I was promptly waited on and seated near the window with a panoramic view of the restaurant my service from the staff here was prompt and accurate Where I was served a senior breakfast consisting of two pancakes, two sausage and two eggs over medium prepared perfectly, as always it is amazing how IHOP can keep their consistency over the years I'll never know how do you get their pancakes, so fluffy and delicious. read more

I had curbside service at Hayward IHOP. It took almost two hours to get my order.The omelette has filler in the egg batter before cooking so it is stiff and rubbery. The interior ingredients like bacon and vegetables are cut so fine that they useless and tasteless. It is bad food. There are no traditionally French touches. It was almost thirty dolla read more

Great service. Food served fast. Recommend to eat here for sure. Facilities were clean and parking was easy.

I love ihop. Friendly service, great food. No frills. Who doesn't like breakfast food?? My fave of ALL time. Their happy hour is really amazing as well. read more

My daughter was there for bunch with a few swimmer and the car was broken into and stole 4 bags. We had ask the restaurant to look at their security video but it was very poor. They mentioned that there were two break-in two days ago and they only capture a back Mercedes SUV but didn't file any police report or even post anything inside the restaurant to notify customers. This is so unethical of them to not care about their customers. This iHop will be on my blacklist and I will tell all my friends and family about their business ethics. read more

Elvia was an amazing server and gave excellent prompt service. Great Food and Amazing Service !!!

Great experience at this IHOP every time I go! Not sure about the negative reviews here; an IHOP is an IHOP, one should expect nothing more & nothing less. Properly made, consistent, quality food & great diner service at this location. Quite a wait during the day as it seems to be one of the few & more popular diners in the area but ample parking available & staff is on top of their duties. Seats are close together, but it makes sense for the location size in attempting to accommodate the size of their crowds. Less tables would mean even longer wait times, so in being reasonable it also makes sense. The servers are also extremely considerate if you request to wait for a better table. Tip- if possible go in the evening; much better/more intimate atmosphere & even saw a few folks on their laptops getting some work done. read more

The wait was okay 20 minutes !!! The waiter inconsistent had us wait 30 minutes for food? That was crazy ... we frequently visit this restaurant and never had bad service I but today was horrible. Not returning for a while we need the old waiters and waitresses back. read more

IHOP - The waiter - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hayward, California

3.5 stars for food, service. I can honestly say i rarely come to iHop...one reason, its always packed. Came here because Cannery Cafe was closed! BAH! Arrived here at about 8:30 and expected no wait for Tuesday a.m. Place looks as if it hasn't changed in years but the menus were fairly new with all their carb options! Ordered the 2 pancake, 2 eggs with hashbrown and ham option along with coffee...friend ordered the crepe with the same combo but bacon. Plenty of food, standard breakfast food...service ok as most of the waitresses were speaking to a majority of the customers in spanish...seemed attentiveness was better if you're spanish speaking! And by the time we left around 10:00 it was packed with a wait time of 20 minutes and no parking spots...whoa! mostly senior and a lot of people with kids...um shouldn't they be in school?! odd read more

My mom and I really enjoy the Swedish pancakes that Ihop makes with the lingonberry . This particular IHOP is always busy so just know you will most likely need to wait 15-45 mins to get a table . 15 on a weekday , 45 mins on a Sunday (popular on Sunday). The staff here have been here for a while and have excellent customer service from my experiences. A couple times I've had overcooked food but they always happily remade it and I really appreciate that! Thanks to the IHOP crew , would recommend for breakfast type food. Poblano pepper omelette is great too ! read more

Multiple time I try coming here, the parking is hard to get into and the seating area is not as big as other iHop to accommodate. and not to mention the line. I was very fortunate to have eaten here with my girlfriends for breakfast today. Our server was very patient while we waited for others to arrive and she took our order in timely fashion and all came out hot and delicious. While we were leaving, already lines started to form out the door. In the end we were all stuff and as of now when typing this I am still stuffed. Will bring my family to try this place out and hopefully could get in without the long wait. BTW: order the international pancakes with the meal selection. It is cheaper when I saw it. Check it out yourself. read more

I wouldn't give any starts if I could. We came here today and Jacob was our waiter HE IS GREAT however poor guy was BY HIMSELF. There was only 2 cooks which obviously can't help him with the people coming in and with the tables. He's literally trying to juggle all the tables and seating people alone and when I asked if he was alone he said yes but he was waiting for his manager to text back I made a comment like I hope everyone tips you good and his response literally made my heart tear a bit he said "I'm not worried about that honestly I'm just hungry " THE MAN CANT EVEN TAKE A LUNCH because he's trying his best to be attentive to the customers. IHOP be better than that this man literally needs a raise. Jacob way to f go thank you for being so kind and relaxed while juggling everything read more

The food here is pretty drab. I ordered the pumpkin cheesecake pancake meal and was not impressed with its taste. The pancakes were soggy and did not look like the picture in the menu. The coffee sucks. The service was good, even though I had to find my server and interrupt his conversation with another employee to ask for my check. I give this place another try sometime in the distant future because I really do love pancakes. And for a place known for its namesake of providing internationally flavored pancakes, I will try a different pancake. The parking is askew and the seating is small. read more

IHOP - Lunch time. Craving pancakes so I decided IHOP - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hayward, California

When you need consistent and reliable comfort breakfast food - this is a great option. Our server Juli was very friendly and super helpful.

It's Halloween season and they have a limited of time special pancakes and chocolate beverages that has purple toppings, and they are very delicious. I tried the Addam Family pancakes with the purple topping and they were delicious and gooey good. Pancakes were under $10. read more

When I went to IHOP, I was greeted by a hostess named Kalaya who was very sweet and immediately situated us, very good service She was very funny and I gave her a very big tip since she explained that she was working to save for college! read more

The building is very small so it gets packed super quickly. Went there for a sat morning and the wait was 15 min. They seated us quickly and despite being so busy the server was awful friendly. Went there on Tuesday morning and there was less people but still surprisingly full. The food was really good and the service is great! Would definitely go there again. Only downside is place is very small but if you don't mind the wait n being crowded because it's mostly packed you should be fine. The servers are overwhelming nice. read more

Sat down and wiped our table since it was dirty and there was a hairball hanging from my napkin. No apologies or anything. Charged us full boat for the meal. Sorry to say but it is steadily declining read more

My first experience at the Hayward location and it is great! Nothing terrible to complain about. We got seated quickly and everyone was kind and friendly. I was just a little confused because as soon as the waitress took my order, my oreo shake came 2 seconds later... maybe someone got the order messed up? I'm not too sure but the shake was very watery and not freshly made. read more

Juli was amazing - helpful, cheerful, and a great representative of iHop. We have gotten so used to poor service these days, it was a pleasant surprise to have Juli as our server! A+ read more
