Love this little ihop- it almost feels as though you're on a little boat.. staff was friendly and quick. Establishment was clean. Service could use a little brushing up as far as the waitress coming around for refills. Food came out fresh- disappointing they couldn't accommodate the crepes with orange marmalade. read more

IHOP - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - La Mirada, California

Wait. Five stars for an IHOP? How can that be? Well.... We were seeing a show at the La Mirada Theatre and it got out late and we were hungry. We saw the IHOP across the parking lot and walked over. It wa 940pm. The open sign was on. We got there and we saw they closed at ten on and we are not the kind of couple that makes anyone work just before closing. We told the waitress we would leave as we didn't want to stop them from going home. She was gracious and told us to stay, so we did. I had the three stack of pancakes and my boyfriend had the avocado toast. Both were coooked well and tasted great. We told the server and she said the cook they had that night really knew how to make good food and she was right. We left a super generous tip as a thank you for the hospitality and left was truly appraciative of Their efforts. Place was clean and we could not have expected any better service. Well done! read more

When in the mood for breakfast or brunch we're down for our local IHOP! Once again, I had to get their Chicken Florentine Crepes and this time hubby copied me since he had a bite last time. Their hash browns "extra crispy" were perfect. The service for our waitress was always helpful and she kept checking in on us. The ambiance was pretty quiet cause we went there at 3:30. Place was clean and ready for their dinner crowd, I'm sure. read more

I went to this restaurant because my granddaughter and I wanted something quick before going to the La Mirada Performing Arts Center. Parking is not a problem because it's a rather small restaurant. The restaurant is very small and very narrow. You enter the restaurant and you see the kitchen toward the left as you enter. The restaurant is a bit shabby and in need of upgrades. The service was excellent and we were quickly seated. The menu was a little abbreviated, not the typical iHop menu. My granddaughter felt rushed when she ordered as the server hovered over her. I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich and my granddaughter ordered the BLT. The food was okay but not great. The fries were a bit overdone and the grilled chicken was warm but the coffee was fresh and hot. The service overall was good...we got our bill and was finished in less than 30 minutes. Overall, I was a little disappointed because it wasn't the same iHop experience I experienced in other restaurants and probably would look for other restaurants near the Performing Arts ce read more

Myself and my daughter caught a late dinner last night at the La Mirada IHOP. Now usually you get sub par service so close to closing time, but not last night. Our server Elizabeth R. was AWESOME! She was so professional, attentive and most of all she seemed genuinely happy to be there and to help us. Her customer service was A+ top notch. Her great smile and attitude will has us coming back on Thursdays just to see her positive attitude and friendly demeanor. The food was also hot and fresh and cooked to order. read more

IHOP has always been one of those places full of memories for me. Growing up, it was where I'd go with family, friends, or even for a "date" back in junior high. Yeah, a date--because when you're a broke middle schooler with zero clue about romance, IHOP is basically fine dining. Besides, it's not like we had Instagram-worthy brunch spots back then. You either went to IHOP, the mall food court, or tried not to look awkward at the local hangout. Today, my wife and I went to the La Mirada location after an oil change. I didn't have super high hopes for the food, but I was hoping for decent service and that cozy, old-school diner vibe. Unfortunately, it didn't totally deliver. There was a little mix-up with our order--I asked for pancakes but got hash browns instead. They swapped it out when I mentioned it, but the servers didn't look too happy about it. I ordered the T-bone steak and eggs, asking for over-easy eggs and a medium-rare steak. But what came out was a well-done steak. You know that feeling when you're expecting a warm hug, but you get a cold shoulder? That was this steak. My wife had the spinach mushroom omelet and seemed to enjoy it, so at least one of us had a better experience. The coffee was probably the best part. Nothing fancy--just that classic diner coffee that's simple and comforting. Sometimes you miss that in a world where coffee has become all about lattes and art. Will I come back? Maybe, but mostly for the nostalgia. I might start checking reviews before picking an IHOP location next time. I usually like to go in without reading reviews, but this visit has me rethinking that. I'd give this spot a 4 out of 10. The memories are great, but the experience? Not so much. read more

Great experience today! Service was excellent, food was delicious and quick! We will be back!

Honestly not even mad just disappointed with this location. First off they hide the affordable deals in the back. (The 7 dollar deal) You have to ask and they bring you a literal secret menu. On top of that, the refillable orange juice, something that has brought my family to ihop locations, has been blocked out with a piece of tape from the menu. This penny pinching from the franchise owner has ensured I will not come back. Disappointed. The food is decent however, and the employees are nice so it's not their fault. read more

amazing service, everyone was very welcoming the food was fast and delicious they really put love into the food lol. the lady in the front is so sweet and made sure that everything was good. read more

Jesus was our waiter and delivered our strawberry and whipped cream waffle combo breakfast to our table. See actual entree photos from our table and their website for comparison (ATTACHED). I informed Jesus this looks different from the photo in the menu. He said nothing, returned to the kitchen, and brought us a small container of cut strawberries. As he was walking away from our table, he asked, "Are you happy now?". No apologies or anything. WOW! I informed the manager, and he gave us a discount on our bill. Thanks, Mr. Manager. He said he was going to talk with Jesus. (From reading the rest of the reviews, it appears the restaurant manager doesn't care or is even aware of these reviews. They should respond to all the reviews, both positive and negative). read more

We have not eaten here for awhile so this morning we decided to visit this location. Not many customer when we came. The crew seems short handed. After we got seated it took awhile to get our orders in.. suddenly the lady customer beside us yelled "my bacon is cold and taste different" go figure! so we ordered big steak omelette this steak was chopped into small pieces (should be strip) badly burnt same as the hashvrown. We also ordered french toast combo and ahain the bacon tasted differently also has rowb was burnt. Food presentation needs improvement in this location service was somewhat okay but will not return in this location. Beach blvd location maybe next time. read more

PROS: - Great customer service. Our server Jesus and busboy Carlos were excellent! - The country fried steak is pretty tasty here. - Plenty of parking, located in a small shopping center. CONS: - Little dead gnats on the window sills. read more

Always have a great experience here. Much better than other IHOPs. Great servers and quick delivery of the food.

So I have very mixed feelings on this location. I will start that I wouldn't generally recommend going here with more than a group of 4. It's one of the smaller locations without a lot of seating options for groups. That said we had a group of 6 of us that had just finished working out at the UFC Gym across the parking lot so we stopped in for dinner. The waitress was nice enough but the service was really slow. She kept forgetting things...like not putting in an order for someone's toast. We had one person's food take so long to come out the rest of us were mostly done! They did end up comping that plate and our drinks. And the food that did make it out was all really good. I had the Breakfast Crepes and they were wonderful! So rich and cheesy with a slight sweetness to it because of the crepe itself. Another at our table had the Pesto Crepes..she also said it was excellent. I find that this place is usually pretty slow. But at least the food it usually pretty good. So plan accordingly. read more

Server was nice but the plates and cups were dirty really greasy and had what looked like dried up cheese stuck on the plates. All my food was burnt even my pancakes were dried out/burnt. Over all a bad birthday breakfast for my fiance and I :( should have checked the reviews before just going there read more

Waited 35 minutes for our food , never got drinks refills and the food wasn't cooked the way we ask for and they only had one person cooking, one waitress some customers before us left. Really bad service and to go pay $75 for bad service don't waste your money and time! read more

Customer service excellent. Your greeted when you walk in and walk out. Loved the food. Definitely will return.

Missing all toppings for specialty pancakes... yelp order. No ricotta lemon for one order or birthday cake frosting for the other so basically we got plain pancakes and paid much more. Left 3 messages for Manager to contact me and she has not. Won't order again read more

The service was really bad, the workers don't even pay attention to you. The customer service is Zero Stars. The place is really compressed and to be honest I hate it, worst customer service I ever experienced! Don't come here unless you want to have a bad experience read more

Small and crowded yesterday after 9:30 AM, but overall good. The staff and food were awesome. Decent male restroom too. :)

We get into this part of town more often and she has her pancake cravings so we come in a couple times in the month. We've found the food and service to be quite good. Her food allergies limits many of the places and she's done well to not have a reaction after eating here. (There are some menu items she cannot have so those are easy to avoid.) I particularly like their weekday lunch specials for $5.99 with purchase of a beverage. The other IHop's don't have this so this is nice that this location has this available. There have been a couple instances of the pancakes being under cooked so we'll let the table staff know and they remake them. Other than that, the food comes out hot, nicely plated and of good quantity. There are multiple chefs so each of them may do the plating a bit different. I don't mind because I can get in a bit of photo practice in with the variations. Timing of order to on the table is good during our weekday visits from the 2-6 PM slot. Shout to Unique, Rosa and Kristie. They are friendly, pleasant and they are attentive to guests while dining. A consistently good visit that we enjoy coming in. Parking is easy and plentiful on this side of the plaza. Food quality -4 Taste- 4 Service- 5 Value- 5 read more

My family and I have been coming here for over 10 years. We live in Anaheim which is around a 20 minute drive for us. It's worth it every time! We have the same great experience, great customer service, and the food is great today was no different. We will keep taking the drive. Special thanks to the cooks putting out the best food. read more

Came here for breakfast because we had a $50 gift card and was craving for a good pancakes and french toast. Food was decent and the service was ok/our server was friendly so no complain about the servers. However, when we gave our gift card, they said we can't use the gift card at this location due to having a wrong system or the system is down ‍‍‍ WTH!!! Can't they input it manually??? It seemed like they only want to except cash because the gift card is already paid for. What ever the reason was we find this very unacceptable and they didn't have any notice posted anywhere in the restaurant. We didn't wanted to argue because we were in a hurry to get back. If I had enough time, I will probably had called the number back of the gift card. If you are trying to use your gift card, call the restaurant before visiting so you don't get surprised. Too bad we will never go back to this location again. read more

We have eaten breakfast at this restaurant a few times. It is a cute, little, limited seating chain restaurant in the same complex as the La Mirada theater. Pros: Abundant parking since the Gym was closed a few years ago. Coffee is already present at your table in a flask. You do not have to wait for someone to pour it to you. (+1) 4 different kinds of syrup for your pancakes preset at your table. (+1) Cons: Expensive compared to Polly's Pies, Denny's etc. Most of the items are $10 or more. (-1) Dishes that were brought to our table did not resemble the presentation picture on the menu during our most recent visit. (-1) Tiny restaurants like this are usually mom and pop shops, or are found in pricy rental areas like downtown's etc. It is unusual for this area. There is not much space between adjacent tables. (-1) This would be a really appealing restaurant if it was a mom and pop place. Unfortunately, it is a Chain restaurant. So, our visits are infrequent. read more

When I was little my parents would always take me to IHOP to eat breakfast and I still till this day consider IHOP a breakfast spot even they do serve lunch and dinner items! If you have never been I have no idea where you are from. They have IHOPs all around and most likely in every city in America! When I first moved to La Mirada I was pretty confused at where this location was. It is in front of LA Fitness and close to the La Mirada theater. This location is the old school style where it looks like a mini house. Which is pretty cute and adorable if you ask me. Came here one day to get some pancakes. Got my order pretty quickly since I was literally the only table. I guess on weekdays this place isn't really busy since many people have jobs and everything. I have to say my pancakes were really good. Not burned, it was nice and soft and just the right kind of texture. I asked for the fruit on the side because I'm not really a fan of preserved fruit. If you want to get something quick and you really don't want to eat Mc Donalds come to IHOP *on the weekdays* and get yourself a nice breakfast. read more

IHOP - My pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - La Mirada, California

I am NOT the type to review but god it was a shit show from the second we sat down. The older lady with grey hair asks us what drinks we want and another gentleman comes and asks us as well. I'm obviously not eating my STEAK with a CHOCOLATE beverage, she was like "wowwwww 2 drinks??" Immediately felt uncomfortable. Another (mexican) lady comes serves us our food, has a disgusting shit face the entire time and when I say our steak IS SERVED WHITE!! It looked boiled it was inedible, the mashed potatoes were cold, watery n tasted like cardboard, the Mac n cheese was watery at the top but SO COLD in the middle it was CHUNKY not even craft Mac n cheese looks like that.. when we told the woman we would like our bill she was so angry telling the cooks "well they just didn't like it" like it was our fault ??? While paying trying to get the hell out, this girl was so mad tapping the shit out of the screen like what are you mad for I came to eat n only got drinks DO NOT COME HERE!!!! The FEMALE WORKERS on 3/26/24 at 1:48pm are miserable working here and ruins the "family breakfast" experience for everyone. Explains why when my sister and I walked in it was absolutely empty it was just us.. I understand now.. Don't come. read more

The people are very nice here. Most definitely will go back. The food was awesome. The girl that said by to us was really nice.

Went this morning because my girls wanted pancakes. There was one waitress and one cook so I figured it would be slow. We waited and waited, waitress said someone would be right with us. We waited and waited. More people came in behind us, we waited and waited. Finally the waitress comes and asks them how big their party is, seats them, and walks away so we left. She runs after us to say they were here first, do you want to sit? I ignored her like she ignored me and she said I was rude. That's my experience at this ihop. read more

One of my least favorite IHOPs. It seems like I often get slightly less or smaller food at this location compared to others. Had to keep re-grabbing their attention in the middle of ordering because they'd walk away without asking if I was done. Don't care for the layout. Small, crowded aisleways. I love IHOP but I avoid this one if I have the time to go further from home. It's not awful, just not one I prefer to go to. In general, it's typical diner food. I often try to order from their seasonal menu since it has really good deals compared to the regular menu price for the same amount of food. Definitely my favorite type of pancakes. Can be a bit pricey though :/ read more

I was beyond dissapointed with the service that I received by our waitress Jonette and the manager whom I didn't get his name but he was older and bald. Going in early for breakfast into this tiny tiny restaurant we had higher hopes. We were greeting by the manager who then brought us to our booth and left our menus. Everything was fine. Our server came over and took our drink order and left since we were not ready. While taking our drink orders my daughter was telling her what she wanted at least 5 times because she was not listening, she just kept looking at me so I was bothered by that. When it was time to place our orders we flagged Jonette down and told her what we wanted. Again she just didn't seem interested in listening to my daughter place her order. I could tell she had regulars in there because she was chatting away with them and standing around. I felt because we were not her usual customers she paid no attention. She brought our food and then we never saw her again. I got the strawberry banana french toast and it was terrible. I took about 4 bites and didn't finish it because it was watery and flavorless. I was surprised that it had no flavor. I never got to tell my server because she was no where in site. Never came back to bring us napkins or refills. I had to ask the bus boy for napkins, so sad. Finally when she came to give us our check I told her that I didn't like the French Toast (because she didn't ask how our food was) and she said oh I'm sorry and left the check with us and walked away. I was shocked that she didn't ask if there was anything she could do. When we went up to pay I told the manager about the service and he just looked at me like he didn't know what to do and said oh ok sorry and handed me my receipt. Point is...the service I received was terrible! I can't believe they did nothing to make their customers leave happy. I have been to many ihops with better service. read more

As many times as I've come here, this place has always been consistent with food and service - both excellent. GMIT is my IHOP buddy. She will always come along when I ask her, and she will always eat as many pancakes as she can hold (which is really about 1 or 1.5). Pancakes are yummy, Hash browns are delicious. Eggs are tasting better - I think they're using more butter. GMIT asked for her bacon extra crispy. I thought IHOP's bacon was already crispy enough, so I figured they'd just bring her the regular bacon. But they did it - they made that crispy bacon even crispier. I could tell by looking at the fat parts. I didn't know bacon could look that way and not be burnt. Oh, oh, oh, I ate the chocolate chip pancakes. Aye yi yi! They were a taste treat, with just enough chips and sweetness. They were covered with a mound of whipped cream studded with more chips. It looked so pretty! Then GMIT took her spoon and attacked my whipped cream before I could take a picture. And that's why my pancakes look the way they do in my pic. Sign up for their Pancake Revolution club - they send coupons for free food, and not just for birthdays. Really free - not BOGO. read more

The food was good and I have zero complaints l, but by far the best part was the customer service I received. Luz has been our server the past few times and I have to say she is more than half the reason we come back. She always provides the best service! She's always telling jokes, talking with us a little, and makes us feel at home!
