Stopped for lunch on our way from Orlando to Clearwater. Kids wanted pancakes & we had gift cards. ( 2 adults / 3 kids) 2 stars: The young girl that waited on us was super sweet, patient & friendly. We were seated quickly & didn't have to wait long to order or receive our food. -1 star. The inside could have used a good cleaning & was extremely dated. The restroom wasn't the cleanest & the family restroom smelled terrible both times we tried to go in. I just took my kids in the women's restroom. - 1 Star. The food was decent/below average compared to the IHOp near our home in Cincinnati. -1star. And we weren't expecting our small ice coffee to be $9. Each. read more

Amber was such a nice and helpful person. We had a very nice time. The food was delicious.

Hubby and I stopped here, not busy so we thought good it will be quick. We were seated quickly and the wait person was at our table in a timely manner. It was breakfast time and the food came fast. We were offered coffee refills and declined. The wait person was efficient and all went well until cashing out. Our change was to be $14.45. After given the $14 was asked if I wanted the 45 cents, mind you I left close to a 25% tip. Is this something being done in the industry because they don't get paid enough? Yes I wanted and got the 45 cents. read more

This IHop is usually very pleasant when you have server name Christina. But today Sunday 2/22/26, it was horrible. First we get seated by one of the waitress and was told " I am not your server , I am just helping.' She bought us coffee and then we sat there for 15 minutes with no one coming to us. We asked if we can order and the other waitress yell "we are very busy todat" and continue ignoring us. For another 10 mins. Finally a waitress came, again telling us she was not our server, just helping took our order. Another 10 mins later our order came. In the meanwhile ,the 2 waitress were speaking in there area, oh well its busy. That is no excuse for being unprofessional. We got to IHop at 1.15pm and left at 2.30pm. This is was the first time I encountered this at this IHop. They need some sinativity traing. You know my tip was 10 % read more

lainey was very and attentive to my table. she does great service and I'll be back food.

Great food. Nice waitress. Showed us where $6.00 breakfasts were on menu which I thought was very helpful. Buttermilk pancakes to die for.

Lillie is the cutest server ever, will definitely be back for her! Food was good too.

Stopped in late on a road trip, as it was something different on the way and near the highway. It's situated next to a hotel that is questionable for sure. Megan our waitress was friendly and adored our baby. She has some experience with other family members in the industry as noted when we questioned the bill below. We ordered 4 waters, kids side, jr. chicken strips, HF scramble, HF ham and cheese omelette and a waffle. Everything was about expected for an IHOP taste wise. Upon getting the receipt there was a $10.29 charge for the waffle. Upon asking we were told that's the price for 1 waffle and given some prices for Waffle House and Denny's. We could've ordered a whole other special meal for that price. Upon leaving went to use the facilities and they are lacking with upkeep throughout the building. read more

I understand IHOP is a corporate chain restaurant... but it is also a somewhat reasonable and respectable long standing leader in the breakfast industry. Each locations experience will depend on the location and management in place. Here at this location, the people who work here are good people and they work hard and well in a high stress, fast moving, environment. But I just learned something very disappointing. I learned that IHOP does not use fresh eggs in many of their egg dishes. Instead of you order scrambled eggs or an omelet, they will serve you a bagged liquid egg substitute, most people call this "fake eggs"; while technically they contain some real egg whites, these are NOT EGGS. They are heavily processed and contain many additives. The texture is awful and they taste nothing like eggs. Put it this way... if it costs less then real eggs but contains some egg white, your not getting an egg. I also learned that if you order a dish with eggs, say an egg, bacon, hash brown breakfast and you choose over-easy you get real eggs. If you want scrambled eggs you get fake eggs, and if you ask for real eggs instead they charge an up charge of a couple dollars more per egg. Now that makes no sense, because you are already paying for real eggs if fried, over-easy, poached, or sunny side up is already included in the price. So I am writing this review to inform others of the "fake eggs", not to knock the staff or anything else. I have always been happy with my meal at this specific location. Well, until I ordered the scrambled eggs. I will not make that mistake again. Had this restaurant served real scrambled eggs like its competitors (Waffle House, Bob Evan's, Cracker Barrel), I would have scored a 4 star review. With all things considered, type of restaurant and expectations, this is a good place. read more

Wow what a amazing place for food very great service managed very well. Destiny is by far the best server ever we will be back

the food was terrible, we came at 1:40am and we were missing half of our order. the service was ass, the server had her hair down as if that isnt a food safety hazard. They sat everyone right next to eachother I couldn't even talk to my own table without hearing the next table talk about classes and the things they do on their own timing. There was oil in my hot choclate. I tried to give them a chance even though my husband said not to. read more

Amber was amazing, I went in and had a wonderful Lunch served perfectly! I enjoyed the food and had a wonderful day.

Megan was fantastic she didn't wonderful job. IM SO HAPPY the all you can eat pancakes are back.

Despite being a bit busy our experience was great Kellie provided excellent service. The food was delicious. Thank you.!!

The service was less than par l, yet my husband still tips her nicely ? It seemed like everyone around us got sat after us and fed before us . Had to ask for more coffee . I did not read my menu description but my pancakes had non fresh strawberries and red syrup all over them , I asked for a new plate . The whole reason we went was for him to get birthday pancakes? She told us we had to sign up on the app. Perfect ! I won't be back ... ever totally disappointed is putting it lightly . Oh I forgot the dirty window sill , ew ! Never again . Sorry . read more

Every happy with our service our waitress Destiny was really sweet and fast she was amazing

I usually go to this ihop location since it's so close to my home but service has definitely went down as of late. I brought my niece and nephew recently and we were seated fairly quickly but the table wasn't wiped down and neither was the high chair.... Absolutely disgusting... I understand some people don't take Covid seriously in the state of Florida but as an establishment.. you should be wiping everything down regardless of Covid. The food wasn't that good and I never got a refill on my coffee, no matter how many times I asked our waitress or the other waitresses passing.... read more

peri was an amazing server ! she was so bright and remembered our whole order without writing it !! the food was amazing ! definitely will be back ! read more

Horrible !!! They yelled in my face for helping a homeless man get a meal , also hair in my drink the visit before

This was a great breakfast. Both my mother and husband said they typically don't like IHOP and they really enjoyed their breakfasts. We got basic food like pancakes, waffles, eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns, etc. everything was cooked the way we ordered. The waitress was very sweet and friendly. The restaurant seemed clean. read more

There were only 2 waitresses serving a lot of people. I ordered spicy poblano but they cooked a steak instead, however, they gave the steak for free. Due to the demand all customers coming at the same time they made a mistake. However, I was truly surprise both entree were sumptuous both gravy suited well with mashed potatoes, the steak was tender and juicy. Spicy Poblano is not as spicy the salsa was great condiment. We were serve by a very pleasant smiling soul Briana Atkins and told her if her manager (Bernie) could come over. I've been waiting now for 30 minutes, for me that is OK. This one is for the cook.

My sisters and i received terrible service the whole time. Then they threatened to call the police when the mistake was on there end. Everyone was rude about the situation so i became to get agitated as well. Disgusting behavior from waitress and hottest and the manager,not only did they charge the wrong amount on each card she stated to have made the mistake by removing the card too fast so the payment didn't go through on her end. absolutely dumbasses working. read more

I have always avoided going to IHOP because they are a chain & the pics & overweight didn't look appetizing. Same reason I avoid the golden coral. But I changed my mind today about it after having the Swedish crepe combo with bacon eggs hash brown. Although the crepes werent authentic & made of pancake dough instead of crepe dough, food was delicious & service was fast & courteous. I am glad I gave it a try read more

It might just be because I was here at such late hours, but the experience in this restaurant was terrible. Specifically, the waitress was really bad. If i could rate it lower and a one, i would. It took forever for her to even take our orders in the first place, and then when the food FINALLY arrived, one of the orders was wrong. The steak order was incredibly tough and a lot of the food was mid at best. read more

Three of us went to this IHOP for lunch Monday. This is the dirtiest restaurant I have been to in a long time. The floor looks like it had last been mopped a couple of weeks ago. Disgusting! No social distancing set up at all, all tables were in use. The sandwich was good, but I won't go back there. read more

A lot of places to sit down and eat at in this area and this establishment did not do a great job of convincing me to come back. The food was alright but the ordering process was not the best. I tried to order the Bug Brunch with chicken and the waitress refused and insisted it only came as a burger. The menu and the website both list the "choose a protein" option. I asked to see the "Breakfeast" menu their special at the time and she brought over the extra menu. My friend and I both ordered our eggs over hard but they came out over medium. I still loved my meal and I understand that it wasn't entirely anyone's fault but I didn't appreciate being argued at when the menu clearly stated that I could order a meal a certain way. Oh they also did great at following CDC guidelines and all that. read more

I see a majority of the 2 star reviews for this location pertain to the cleanliness of the restaurant and the service. My wife and I chose to eat here because the wait time for Cracker Barrel was insanely long. We only waited for about 10 minutes or so to get a table on a Sunday morning around 11, which is not bad at all. The restaurant was extremely busy, but the staff appeared to be handling everyone in a courteous and professional manner. We had a great server who engaged us in conversation and was extremely personable, but also fast with gathering our order and returning with drinks and the meals. I didn't see any trash on the floor or messy tables throughout the restaurant because they were so busy and attempting to clear off everything they could to open up more tables for the guests. One server or manager was yelling in the back to get runners up to get the food, but was a bit too assertive with his staff. He yelled, "I need runners up here NOW!!". You could tell the servers did not appreciate that, but some don't understand proper leadership techniques. I ordered the Split decision breakfast that included 2 pancakes with apple topping, 2 pieces of French toast, 2 eggs, 2 bacon strips, and 2 sausage links. My wife ordered chicken fingers with mashed potatoes and corn. The food was tasty, but my pancakes and eggs seemed a bit cold. Coffee wasn't too bad, but wasn't the greatest. I definitely think this deserved a 4 star because service was great and food was good as well. read more

Not recommended if you have any special requests. (Like crispy bacon or eggs scrambled hard & dry). We stopped on our way to the Outback Bowl game. The dining room wasn't busy when we arrived. It was cold inside, but that's expected due to the high humidity this morning. Being New Year's Day, we expected to see or have some impact of last nights celebration during service. Our server seemed cool & calm when taking the order for 2 with no note pad. But it was clear she was hung over. She was just a bit too relaxed with her eyes half closed, but her speech didn't seem slurred. Turned out she didn't remember both orders, just one. She came back asking for the 2nd order to be repeated & mumbled some excuses for why she failed to recall the order. The meal arrives & my choc. choc chip pancakes are being remade. They were the loud crash heard in the kitchen, just seconds before the meal was brought to the table. The 2nd server who brought the meals was a lot more in tuned with what a server should be tending to & that was great. I ordered a split decision - eggs scrambled hard & dry, all crispy bacon, choc. choc chip pancakes, no whip. The kitchen failed on the bacon & eggs. I sent the eggs back, since I would be hungry at the game if I don't eat them. They came out slightly warmed more, but just as wet. The bacon was also sent back since it was flimsy & still fatty. The pancakes for the other order were 'old' & clearly not fresh, since the butter was not melting. The 2nd server was great at helping correct the negative things on the order & I wish I had got her name. She's a tall, a little older, slender woman who's very polite when speaking to you. She took one meal off our ticket for our trouble, but frankly - I would have preferred to have had a great meal that I was able to eat while stopped. BTW, the first server never came back to the table, we never even got a chance to complain to her about anything. read more

The other server wasn't much help either as she was in and out vaping ‍‍ read more

I love IHOP's food usually however this location tends to get my order wrong. They have forgotten the bananas inside my pancakes on two separate occasions. Even after speaking to a manager about it the first time a few weeks later it happened again. If I am going to pay for strawberry banana pancakes I want it to come with the bananas inside the pancake. Typically my experience at this iHOP is a hit or miss. Usually it's a great experience or I leave feeling disappointed. Hopefully they get a bit more consistent with their service. read more

Good reliable food, as always. But no servers! Our room of 14 tables, all full, had only 1 poor server who was running ragged. (And it wasn't a fluke; the server said it was always packed on the weekends.) Staff your restaurant! read more
