Service was EXCEPTIONAL. Food fresh & HOT. New menu. Awesome Senior bkfst. menu. Only negative was only 2 items for Seniors lunch/dinner menu & somewhat high prices. Seniors like more than turkey & fish. Nearby Perkos's & Farnesi's offer more food choices & lower prices to Seniors. Will definitely return though to this IHOP for bkfst. read more

Worst IHOP in California don't go here ..no customer service Wait over 40mins and then they act like you didn't order overall the experience there was embarrassing top it off I ended eating nothing. So yea fxxk yxu madera IHOP especially the manger who did not want to return my money . read more

My visit to this restaurant was after the lunch rush. I thought that by stopping by after the busy time of day, service would move rapidly. Wow, was I wrong. I had to wait for our waitress to bring out drinks for about 15 minutes. Once the order was placed we had to wait for another 20 minutes before getting our food. Although the wait was long the food was actually pretty good. I enjoyed the savory crepes with banana and cantaloup (the meal could have been best without the cantaloup). The service sucked, the restrooms were disgusting, but the food was good. read more

Awesome breakfast. Tyneshia was legit! She was super friendly and kept coming by to check up on me. Chill vibes!

This is like the worst place ever. Our family and another family went in at the same time it was basically empty inside. There were only few people and it still took them over an hour to get all of us the food to our table and it was ice cold. I believe in supporting local community but this is the worst place to dine read more

This is easily the worst IHOP I've been too. First, the bathrooms were disgusting. The men's room had a nasty smell emanating from it when I walked in. It looked worse than the smell. I was afraid to touch anything. It then took over half an hour to get our food after ordering. All in all, not a place I would stop again when traveling. I've received better service and seen cleaner bathrooms at truck stops. read more

I was looking forward to taking my girl there tonight & sure as can be, it was closed and under construction for rebuilding and remodel and who knows what all else... fine and cool!! We went on up the 99 to Denny's and having our pancakes n all there! But soon as they reopen, I sure hope they'll honor the commercials running now for the all you can eat pancakes and other breakfast deals from ihop!! read more

Went in just a while ago no customer service the hostess only gave us menus didn't get a drink orders and we sat for 15 mins and decided to leave not going back don't know why people who don't work have jobs typical Madera read more

Went a couple times within the last couple weeks and they had one server named Kaila that was amazing everytime we were there. Always made sure we had everything we needed and was very polite. read more

I have been here a few times for breakfast and lunch. The pancakes are delicious!!! Plenty of food. Love this place ! read more

GROSS!!! Bacon was paper thin, hash browns small serving, greasy and disgusting, and the fruit on French toast so bad I couldn't eat it. Waste of time and $$$$. Oh, almost 3 dollars for a Pepsi that had mostly ice. Come on, your suppose to be a good breakfast restaurant. BTW, this is my first negative YELP post. read more

IHOP - American Near Me - Madera, California

Will never go back anymore. We had to seat ourselves. Was there for over 30min without getting helped once. No drink orders were taken at all or anything. Us and one 6+ person group were the only ones there!! so we left. Called 5 minutes after we left and they told me there's only one waitress tonight and that we had to wait so they take care of the other group! We were just a 2 people! Will never go back especially after being talked back to on the phone! read more

Come here whenever we can. Servers are always cheerful and quick. Sometimes they are super busy running around but really no issues. I think only once the food didn't come out how I thought it would be. I ordered the fried chicken. But it was more fried than meat. The meat was dry as well. That was probably my fault for ordering that. Everything else that I've ordered is usually pretty good. read more

Me and my mother went and didn't expect the best service due to how busy the staff was and it being on a busy Sunday morning. We were wrong and had awesome service. The staff was very friendly. I believe our waiter was named Tyler. He was very friendly, good looking guy and had a great smile. The food we ordered was very good, it really hit the spot. So what's my rating? Well I guess the question I'm asking myself now is, "How edgy am I?" Enough to give this place 5 stars. I will definitely go back for the food and because servers like Tyler. Thanks IHOP. read more

Decent food but the wait staff is easily overwhelmed and forgetful. It had been five years since our last visit ( poor service) and I doubt if we will come back. read more

The was food was really good the cooks know how to cook the strawberries r sweet the service from Hannah is excellent super nice she is very fast on bring your food to the table she always checks to see if u need anything else the chicken and waffles is really good never let Hannah good its hard to find people like her that r awesome and very friendly grill cheese was cooked right pancakes really yummy read more

ROACHES!!! I had dinner at IHOP with my family, which included 2 children, ages 7 & 4. I ordered a dinner salad & when I received it, I found a ALIVE COCKROACH IN MY SALAD, DISGUSTING! THANK GOD my children didn't share my salad, as they normally do. I couldn't believe it, I jumped up & took it straight to the kitchen. Gave it to the waitress, she couldn't believe it either. I was expecting not to have pay for my meal, but I did. I should have made a scene but I acted on instinct to get it away from me & my children ASAP! I wish I could give IHOP NO STARS but I can't, PLEASE DO NOT TAKE YOUR CHILDREN THERE!! VERY UNHEALTHY! read more

slow service (especially the front cashier when you pay)....nasty grapefruit juice...isn't grapefruit juice pink? why did it look like dirty water? i ordered a small orange juice; why did i get charged for a large?...other than that, eggs benedict was so good bf kept scraping it off my plate =) yummy breakfast... read more

I have been watching this place deteriorate for a while. I thought it was under new ownership until one day I saw Andy the owner sitting in one of the booths chatting with another employee. My philosophy is "if the windows are dirty, what does the kitchen look like?" Well on this visit we walked in and the windows are still dirty and the floors, and the ceilings and everything else. We were put in a booth while the server walked away. This booth had syrup on the table top and filthy seats. We stood there for a bit and waited for the server who didn't come back immediately. We decided to reseat ourselves. I moved to the next booth that was a little bit cleaner but we still had to clean of one side of the seat as it had something sticky on it. Server came back and we ordered food and drinks. I got my coffee but never received my glass of water. I drank my coffee half way when I noticed lipstick stain on the lip of the cup. GROSS!!! People of Madera must have low standards rating this place 4+ stars. Just the cleanliness should make it a 2. Every time a come here I also panic because sometimes the ATM/CC machine doesn't work and I rarely carry cash. My last time visiting this place. P.S. At some point I think IHOP Corp should force its operators to reinvest. A modernization of this place would probably do wonders if they could change the cleanliness level. read more

Wait time for food gets pretty long and but the pancakes here are always pretty good. Not much other options in Madera, so this place will do. read more

Extremely disappointing. The service is incredibly slow and the food is subpar. Every time I've come(my mother-in-law loves it here for some reason and always chooses this place) the service has been awful but this last time was the worst. I came in the evening with just my daughters, there was maybe 2 other tables with people. It took a bit for my order to be taken but when the sever finally came I ordered a pasta dish with soup and ordered a kids breakfast plate. 30 minutes later and 2 very grumpy kids later I get a semi-hot and bland soup and no apologies for the wait. 15 minutes later I finally get my food at which point I request to have it packaged to go. I finally get a "sorry for the wait" but the damage was done. The food was not great. The service was awful. I will need to convince my MIL to choose another place next time! read more

IHOP is never great food, it's like fast food you sit down for. That said, this one in particular was pretty bad. There were 4 of us for breakfast and the place was relatively slow but getting our server's attention was pretty difficult. Also, everything that came to the table was cold. Cold toast, cold waffles, cold pancakes, even the hot chocolate was cool enough to chug without fear of burning yourself. Also, it was unusually expensive. We were in a hurry so I didn't get the chance to really look over my bill for over $ read more

IHOP has always been a family favorite. Pancakes were my dad's specialty growing up so this place has special memories for me. This particular IHOP location has much faster and friendlier service than others I've been to. That said, I'm kind of sad the way the establishment is going. A stack of 4 harvest grain pancakes that are about the size of the plate that the toast come on costs about $7 (no toppings). Before, I would eat half of my order and take the other half home for breakfast the next day. IHOP is reducing portion sizes in an effort to save money. I an understand seeing as food prices are going up but I would have rather paid an extra dollar just so I could have taken my favorite leftover pancakes home. It's ok though, I'll be going to Batter Up Pancakes from now on. read more

If you eat here there is one thing you'll get for sure... A ticking time bomb in your stomach that can erupt at any second.

Service was excellent!!! But the majority of the food I ordered was bland and overpriced. I ordered burger with seasoned fries, pancakes, sausage, hash browns, ham, bacon, eggs, toast. And everything was disgusting. Wasted $35. This place used to have great food, but not any more. However the monster mozzarella sticks are yummy. read more

Got tabled, serviced and was eating within 15 minutes. Fast, great service with great food. Colorado Omelette was the bomb.....and the Cinnamon Roll French Toast was to die for!!!!! read more

I rarely have a bad experience here. I come here every couple months and Kelley is my absolute favorite waitress. She is the best. A main reason I keep coming back. read more

El servicio es exageradamente lento, (les falta personal :$ supongo) la comida esta ok, como en todos los ihop.

This restaurant is advertised as dog friendly, but in reality, they only allow service dogs, and they are not very nice about it either. I was treated rudely I will not return. read more

Awesome. Came in with a coupon for 3 free pancakes, ordered extra topping, waiter was very friendly. Clean tables. Good Dr. Pepper (not watered down). read more

Very dissatisfied with breakfast. Ordered a waffle and it was cold! Butter would not melt. Also the hash-browns were like cardboard and not eatable! Have not been here in a while and now I know why! read more

I'm leaving a review again and I still stand by what I said. The food is terrible. Lack in portions, flavor/seasoning. My gawsh just season the food and I'm sure it would be slightly decent!! The service wasn't great either. What really ticked me off from such an unpleasant visit was that they would not honor my coupon for a free meal even though this coupon had been purchased through a coupon book, not a coupon from the newspaper. Anyone coming from out of town and want to sit an enjoy a family meal then I recommend Black Bear Diner or Perkos. read more

Extremely slow service - I waited 10 minutes to even be acknowledged after sitting down, even though the server walked by 4 or 5 times. Waited another 10 minutes for hot tea and water. Waited another 25 minutes for food. And waited another 20 for the check once I was done. Felt like I was being ignored a lot... The food wasn't bad, but you should plan on being here for a good long time. read more

Its my fault, I should've known. Everything in madera blows. The food here is god awful. Service is sad. Avoid madera restaurants at all cost. Negative 2 stars read more

This location was okay on service. We waited a while before being seated. I assume they were short on workers. The food was good. I ordered the Steak Tips and eggs with Pancakes. It was very good. The hot coco was big, but tasted like chemicals. Our waitress sounded like she was suffering from a cold. Which was not a good sign for our food. But, we survived. I wasn't blown away by this location, but, it was okay. It served our purpose. We just wanted a bite to eat to get us home. read more

I frequent this place often with my family. The food is filling for the most part, I think you get the best service during the late night hours during the weekend where they keep your coffee hot and periodically check up like every 15-20 mins. read more

Service is always good even when its packed they move fast.Love the steak tips and eggs and they always have great coupons. If other restruants in Madera were like this it would improve their traffic. read more

If you have time to kill service is slow, cooks are even slower... Last time I went it took my friend and I 45 mins to get 2 orders of a half sandwich and soup... read more

The place is busy, busy but the service is great. The food is good. Always good food as you expect it to be at IHOP.

We waited 30 mins to be seated and 40 mins for food before we decided enough was enough. We left. Yes it was busy but everyone that entered with us ate and left before us. Horrible service. It was 2 adults and 2 Children I wasted over an hour of life for nothing. Literally read more
