The food is just fine at this iHOP, however, the service stinks. No matter the time of day, they have no host or hostess. They never seem to have many people to wait on, yet they never have enough wait staff. The last time I was there, they had about six tables, which isn't bad, but they had one waitress, so it was really slow to get our order in and really slow to get our food. My advise, go to the iHop up on 10th in Oakdale. That is a GOOD iHop. read more

PANCAKES ARE DRYYYY AND TASTE BLAND!!! My egg was under cooked for a Sunnyside up, didn't seem fresh. I'll rather go to Dennys and eat there. Them Shakes at Dennys read more

First of all: Home of the Incredibly Mediocre $3.29 (!) Glass of Chocolate Milk. Actually, that was that last thing to irk me, as I looked at the bill. I could have spent, I dunno, maybe $5.00, on a half gallon of milk and a container of Nestle Quik or Hershey's Syrup, and gotten 8 glasses of much better chocolate milk. Aaaanyway..... oh yeah, IHoP... If you are going to the International(!) House(!) of Pancakes(!), then for the love of all that is holy... get yourself some mother fucking PANCAKES. Do NOT spend 3+ $ on a bullshit glass of chocolate milk, and do not pay through the nose for an omelet that's like way worse than the worst omelet you ever made for yourself. The only reason this place gets two stars, rather than one, is because the... wait for it....... PANCAKES... were pretty damned good. If, after reading this review, you still want to go here (and you're kind of dumb if you do): order PANCAKES and nothing else, sheesh. Though you'll surely have better pancakes and support the local economy better by finding a nice mom & pop or co-op joint. read more

I went with a friend and they took forever to come to our table and then when they brought our drinks they didn't take our order we had to wait for the server for over 20 minutes and also it was super cold in there and the hot chocolate was from a mix that they didn't even bother to mix. read more

Saturday morning breakfast with our adult daughter. My wife decided to try one of IHOP's 55+ dishes. Before our order arrived, a larger group (8-9) at a nearby table was being served and as we heard the manager and server call out the dishes, we overheard my wife's order among them (a dish with cheese). The patrons at the table insisted that they did not order that dish and went around the table, "Did anyone order cheese?" Everyone answered NO!, but the server persisted and said, "someone ordered cheese" placing the plate on the table. A few minutes later during her second round of food delivery to that table, she apologized and admitted the disputed dish belonged to a different table and gave them their correct plate, taking away the disputed one. In less than a minute, our order arrives, and my wife just stares at the plate placed before her. "Did they just give me that same plate that was served at the other table?!?" YES THEY DID! Wife was livid and she's not the silent type. When our server returned, my daughter discretely asked, "was this plate just at that other table?" He answered yes, but "she didn't touch it." Yes, we asked him to remove the plate and remake the order (this time to go). But at this point, wife didn't even trust the take home order--they could have just packaged the disputed dish. Our server avoided us after delivering the take out bag; didn't bring the coffee we ordered, nor the tab. We finished our meal, chased down our server at the entrance and paid; intentionally leaving the to go package on our table. Never to return and never to be recommended. So to any current or future food service manager, assistant manager, or server reading this, the correct action to take with any dish refused and returned from a table is to scrape that dish into the garbage or better yet the compost and remake the order (PERIOD). read more

This ihop is great and the food is good and also I recommend you eat ihop for dinner around 8 because there were only a few people in the restaurant. And the short wait for like 5-10 and the waiter was really nice and always checks to see if we were okay or if the food was good (and it was). read more

Service was very poor. A friend and I went to have IHOP in maple wood this afternoon. We were seated with about 6 other guests in the whole restaurant and didn't even get our order taken for about 40min, and the food took even longer. Overall the food was mediocre at best, won't be coming back. read more

Really horrible experience here. We were actually laughing it was so bad. A few of the low-lights: one server for the entire restaurant, which meant we had to wsit a LONG time to be served; whole wheat pancakes that were burned crisp on the edges snd completely dry -- they actually peeled apart in layers; the server never apologized for the bad pancakes but offered to remove thrm from the bill. I still was charged for ghe sausage, though. This was my second time ever in IHOP. My guess it will be my last, unless we need a good laugh! read more

IHOP - Horrible meal. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Maplewood, Minnesota

Ordered breakfast and it was half cold when it came to the table. Wait staff was very much not interested in service.

We arrived at IHOP about 45 min ago. And they have not even had the common the courtesy to refill my chocolate milk. My food has still not came. read more

We had the most uninterested waitress I've ever had the displeasure of meeting. She walked around us for 5 minutes, in our empty section, before coming over and asking us if we had our drinks ready. We told her we had drinks and our orders ready, which she proceeded to write down. She told us our drinks would be right out. Easter sunday, they were not busy at all, yet we waited 15 minutes. After waiting for 15 minutes, we decided just to get up and walk out. Completely unprofessional, and rude service. Will not be coming back anytime soon. read more

I did not come into IHop expecting much other than an edible pancake and a pitcher of hot (watered down) coffee. You shouldn't expect much more either. I'd advise not coming on a weekend afternoon unless you want to wait for 45+ minutes in a tiny, cold waiting room with screaming children. You do have a nice view of all the waiters texting behind the kitchen counter however, lacking a sense of urgency, despite there being at least 8 parties waiting to be seated in a full dining room. Host was M.I.A, and 2 sixteen-year-old girls came in and were interviewed awkwardly at the host stand by the manager, who seemed frazzled and uninterested. When we were finally seated, we had to ask 3 different people to get some cream and sugar packets for our coffee, and also had to flag down two different servers to finally get our order in. At the end of the meal, the manager (who was now running around, entirely wigged out the whole time) came over and apologized for the poor service. That is the only reason I am giving IHop on Beam Avenue 2 stars, other than it strangely holding a place in my heart in that chain restaurant, tasted-good-as-a-10-year-old kind of way. P.S. Watch out for the lights if you're a tall human being. I smacked my head both getting into and out of the booth. read more

How can you screw up pancakes ??? Your the international house of them! Sorry but I won't be back :((

I had not been to our local IHOP for a number of years right after it opened. That was so long ago there was still smoking in restaurants in Minnesota. I was a bit unhappy with the environment and service then and things have not changed much. Service is lackadaisical at best. We went in for breakfast. My eggs, bacon and toast were very good once I was able to order. What really turned me off was the disgusting coffee that tasted like dirt. It was absolutely undrinkable. if I can work up the enthusiasm I will try it again soon and report back. What kind of place has no WiFi these days???? read more

This IHOP has to be the worst place for breakfast we waited for about 8 min to be seated then waited another 10 min to ask if we wanted something to drink then another then after the waitress took our drink order waited another 15 min for her to bring the drinks we saw her walking around and didn't brings us our water or coffee at all; so we got up walked out and left. Nobody noticed and to top it off the place is freezing cold. I would absolutely NOT recommend anyone to waist their time going to this horrible place go to Denny's great food and amazing service and is not freezing cold!! read more

Dont come here unless you want to wait like you are at a doctors office

Worst experience to order online take out! No one come to service us when we were there! They saw us stand there but still keep chatting! And also not busy time for them! Only my friend and I stand there! We won't come here again! read more

Terrible service. Waiting for 10 min. No Hostess. Staring at 4 waitresses filling milk and doing busy work. People have been walking out the door. It's a Monday morning. Finally got a table.. and the table was dirty. Service is slow. Overall not pleased. read more

The waitress was not very friendly, nor was the manager, Easter Sunday morning. The food was very slow coming out of the kitchen and not very good.. it was the first time at this restaurant, we won't be back. read more

Just encountered some BS this morning...my mom and I went to have breakfast after our dentist appointments and we were told by the hostess at IHOP that we cannot sit in a booth because booths are meant for 6 people and not 2. FIRST OF ALL, I've never heard that there are limitations on booths. SECOND OF ALL, tell me how SIX people are going to fit in a small ass booth. 4 maybe, but six?! As we sit down, we see MANY people sitting 2 to a booth. When we questioned her about it she tried to pull some poor explanation about how the booths are all different sizes. When we clearly could see they were all the same size. Eventually she just goes "you want a booth?! Fine you can have a booth" It left such a bad taste in my mouth that we just got up and left. read more

Went in last night, decided on the Turkey Bacon omelette (trying to be a little healthy), after 15mins of waiting, a waitress comes over (not my original waiter) and tells me they are out of turkey bacon, so pick somethem else and it would be COMP'ED.. Im like cool, i would have paid for it still, but i wont argue, if you wanna give me a free meal so be it. I look at the menu and decided on the steak omlette, I tried to be healthy the first time, but now the steak omelette was calling my name, lol. so anyway after my daughter and i are done eating, the waiter brings the bill and tells me the had to ring in two sodas to comp my omelette, so i say oh ok, figuring he had removed them after putting in the bogo code... nope, i am being charged for two sprites. i call him over and ask him why is there two sodas on there, and he tells me he had to ring them in so he could use the "get one free code".. I right away looked at him with the evil eye and said , DOES THAT MAKE SENSE??? You tell me im getting my omelette free, then u charge me for two soda's that i didnt even have.. he goes, oh ok, i will remove it, i didnt know the other waitress had said it would be on the house... no problem... LIAR, if u didnt know that, you wouldnt have tried to take it off the first bill you gave me. he leaves to "fix" the bill and i just sit there thinking, did he really think about that before he gave me the bill? did that REALLY make any sense at all to him? so he brings it back, no sodas. my omelette is on there, and then removed.. i guess he found "another way to do it all of a sudden" I was pissed, pissed just because he was an idiot. I wasnt going to tip him, but i couldnt leave without leaving him one. I love IHOP, and of course i will go back, but if they try to stick me with him i will definitely request to be with another waiter. One with an IQ in the double digits at least...... read more

Last Saturday noon I had the "all you can eat pancakes". They were slow in coming, thick and heavy, and thrown together carelessly on my plate. Service was friendly but very slow. A very disappointing experience. read more

positives: greeter was quick and friend, waitress was pleasant and helpful.. Was freezing cold, servers were wearing sky jackets, I was told it warms by afternoon....ordered an omelette and pancakes combo... eggs came first because she didn't want them to get cold... pancakes LATER and were soggy inside....my friend's 6 yr old makes better ones....left ASAP to warm up in my car....how can they stay open???? read more

I don't ever do this ! But management at this place need to focus on costumer service ! They need to train servers! Today was horrible somebody else took my order and my server show up just once! I will not comeback! read more

Food was good specially criss crossoint strawberry sweet cream cheese.. Hashbrowns were really disappointing.. courtsey was good and order came as ordered even though rush ws there..wuld recommend this for sure.. one suggestion for ihop , few more veggie options plz :) read more

Stopped here for breakfast after having car serviced at a local dealership. Enjoyed a cheese and spinach omelet. Food was good. Servers were friendly and hustling, space was clean and bright, moderate crowd. Nothing remarkable, but nothing negative either. Worked as it should. read more

i was here earlier today and ordered strawberry banana french toast with pork sausage, toast, and eggs. when my food came out i got pancakes, hashbrowns and regular sausage links. i waited for 5-10 minutes until a different waitress/ manager asked how our food was in which i told her my entire order was completely wrong. so she brings it back and comes out with everything right except the sausage (again!!) and found a hair on the sausage. at this point my boyfriends food is cold, i've waited about 40 minutes for my food and by the end it was still wrong, even after correcting. i saw the original waitress twice, once when ordering and second when she gave us the check. when we were leaving we overheard another table talking about how their order was wrong as well. we were the only two tables in the store read more

Nasty crapes were bot cooked they were like jelly batter inside so gross. Would not recommend ever going there again

One word: Shit. I've never had that bad of service at any other restaurant. First off, they didn't refill our sodas (even when we asked) and they forgot the silverware. Never go to this location, they fucking suck read more

DID NOT GET SEATED OR TALKED TO. Since i was craving crepes, i took my girlfriend there today at 1pm, August 28th. We parked and went thru two glass doors to the hostess but was not greeted. The hostess saw us and didnt even say hi to us at all. She decided to walk away. We was lefted there confused. Their was also a family of maye 10 waotong for their seats. I then saw a sign that said "Please wait to be seated". So we decided to sit and wait. Right when I sat down, a group of 4 to 6 came and got greeted and the hostess took them to their table. Wow. I was flabergased. To remind you, my girlfriend and I= 2 ppl only. My girlfriend and I decided to just leave then. Such bad service and this wasnt the first time. Word of advice, try somewhere else. read more

It was -9 degrees this morning, we went here for my Grandaughter's birthday. The server who seated us told us "the heat was just coming up". this was at 10am when they had been open since 7am. We could not sit there in the cold and enjoy our food so after 5 minutes of shivering we left and went to Denny's down the street. read more

They tried, just not very hard. My brother and I have Saturday morning breakfast out once a month. This month we tried IHOP on Beam Ave in Maplewood. My wife laughed at our choice because we ate their years ago and vowed to never return. I have a short memory and decided to try it again. Mistake. I ordered the country omelet, it looked so good on their menu. It looked just OK when it arrived, although an omelet the size of a Chipotle burrito is a little unnecessary. When I bit in to the omelet I was disappointed: cold and overcook. I choked down part of it and pushed the plate aside. When the waitress asked if there was a problem with my meal I explained it was overcooked as evidenced by the brown fry marks on the egg. She apologized (she was very sweet) and said she would tell her manager. She returned a few minutes later to explain her manager took 10% of the bill. Big deal. This restaurant is saddled with poor management. I put all the blame on the manager for this. She should have made it right, but her decision to take just $2 off the bill for a lousy meal they charged $10.49 for tells me she expects to serve bad food. Avoid this restaurant at all costs. On the bright side, the waitress was professional and pleasant. It's too bad she doesn't have a more supportive manager. read more
