BEST SERVICE EVER. I have never has such great service in my life. The girl who served my dad and I was attentive and very nice. Everything was perfect. My dad got the breakfast sampler and smashed all of it. I got the Silver Five or whatever its called from the kids meal and it was good too. I'm so happy she let me order from the kids meal even though it strictly said "12 years old and under." Great service great food, I wished every IHOP was this great! Ihop is still better than Denny's though! read more

I don't know if I'm going crazy or these people at ihop is effin with my mind, but the only reason I go here is for the chocolate chocolate chip pancake that is made with chocolate batter.. I loved them because I'm a huge chocoholic and these were perfect.. But I just went today and they served me regular batter pancakes with chocolate chips on them and told me they were the chocolate chocolate chip pancake and I got confused. I know what I love and these weren't it. I'm very sad about it. They could have said they changed it or ran out of it but instead they confused me. Very disappointed .. :( read more

Service was fast, was there around 7 am on 02 Sep 2019, my bill was $30.05. There was sample computations of gratuity(tip), 15%, 18%, 20%. I chose 15%, so total was at $34.19. On my credit card, IHOP charged me $39.19 or a tip of 30%. So a piece of advice, check and keep your receipt, fortunately I kept my receipt. So I called IHOP Calaveras, Milpitas and mentioned this to them, unfortunately, they asked me to go back there to clear things with them, the lady who answered me even said " I was not the one who charged you". So sad, a customer has to be burdened with such, I feel cheated, careful next time... read more

I placed a phone order the guy that took my order was pretty good even read my order back to me. Everything was good until I picked up my food when I got to my job I realized that my order wasn't correct. I ordered the crispy shrimp and steak I customized my order and asked for crispy fish instead of the shrimp. The food was actually really good pancakes even better. Only bad thing was that I didn't receive the crispy fish from my order or the shrimp I was charged for when I called back the guy simple said it wasn't on the receipt sucks really wanted my crispy fish they could have at least game me the shrimp that I payed for read more

I ordered a steak omelette through Door Dash. The online menu says it's made with onions and bell peppers, cheese and steak with an option to choose 3 pancakes. I received an omelette overloaded with hash browns. The onions and bell peppers were completely missing, so I basically had a hash brown omelette with a few pieces of gristly steak. In addition, they only gave me enough syrup for one pancake. Being that this is a pancake house, you would think they wouldn't be so stingy with the syrup. After paying delivery and service fees, tax and tip to Door Dash, I basically spent over $25.00 and got something different from what I ordered which was shockingly bad. read more

We were seated fast, the drink order was taken and severed immediately and then our food order was taken. We were taking about the event we just stopped at and before we knew it our hot food was sitting at our table. Yes, we know this is all from an IHOP, but this place is much different than all the other IHOP I have been to, for year I have been coming to this one with family and friends, and for some reason the service is fast and reliable. The staff is happy to see you, and they will take care of your needs to make sure your dining experience is enjoyable. Yes I did say this is an IHOP, again the cooks are fast and know what they are doing, plus if you do not trust a kitchen you can not see, then you will like this place, as the kitchen is as you walk in, so you can see everything. This is a place I will continue to come over time and bring my family and friends for a good meal. Oh yes, the prices are comparable with anything out there, so good meal good price, good times. read more

Typical yummy IHOP with great service. The wait here really isn't bad for how crowded it is. My fiancé and I only waited 10 minutes when it was pretty crowded which made us really happy because we were starving! This ihop never gets my orders wrong and the service is always friendly! I love the sirloin tips and eggs. The entree potions aren't as big as Denny's but you can definitely taste the quality which I greatly appreciate. When I order to go my food is ready and hot too! The only thing is that the food takes awhile to come out because it's usually packed. But yes, definitely a fan :) read more

I order the breakfast I gotta say chef from here really does not know cooking. Made my eggs over hard my bacon soft , hash brown burned even can smell bitter terrible breakfast ever had hope they can improve cooking in future read more

On a Sunday at noon, it was pretty crowded that I had to park across the street at the old Mervyn's. The wait for 8 people ended up being about 30 minutes. The inside was still new and looked better compared to the old Lyon's that used to be there. Since the lunch menu wasn't too appealing, I decided to have breakfast. I had the Waffle Combo which came with two eggs and choice of two bacon or sausage. I ordered my eggs overhard with pork sausage and a side of hash browns. Everything came out the way I expected and portions were perfect size that surprisingly I ate the whole thing! I liked that the food wasn't very greasy either because for the first time, I walked out without a stomachache. Typically when I have breakfast out, I usually get a stomachache due to all the grease. Our server was really friendly, but a little too attentive. She kept coming to our table constantly to check up on us even when we didn't need anything. When we were done eating, I kind of felt that maybe she was trying to kick us out since many people were waiting for tables. I had a coupon for BOGOF meal, but they had already swiped the credit card so they wouldn't accept it. Boo! read more

The thing about IHOP is that if you're going there on a weekend, either during the day or at night, be prepared to wait. That's pretty much the rule of nature and not the law. Especially if you're in Asian-centric Milpitas where the only late night dining is either a drive through or pho, HK cafe and/or late night Chinese. You know its all good, but sometimes nothing hits the spot like regular breakfast or other comfort food staples when you're on the night owl. Not all IHOPs are all the same and some are more notorious than others. Mipitas IHOP is clean and bright with a helpful staff. Quite a turnaround from the Lyon's it used to be. The namesake breakfasts are good and up a notch over some of the local joints. Lunch and dinner menu are classics and well executed. As said, in a town where Asian restaurants out number 10 to 1, IHOP comes in and gladly fills the satisfies the need. read more

As usual, I would want my share of pancakes and eggs, and had asked my beau to take me here. We came during the 10pm-12am time span, and it was a bit busy. Our waiter was really nice, and always supplied us with fresh coffee and water. Our time for waiting for food wasn't that bad, because we know it'll take awhile, and we weren't in a hurry. Overall I would come back due to the nice hosts and waiter. A 3.5 Stars! read more

The place: -small compared to the IHOP on Great America Parkway -small parking, but doesn't seem THAT bad, can park across the street also -seems cramped The service: -had two waiters/waitresses, and gave the $6 tip to the waitress -the waiter seemed to rush us but it was at "our pace"......we were waiting for a friend and he asked us "did you guys want to order now and then when your friend comes she can order then?"....AND he was just waiting there like a dog -_-" -the waitress (April-Marie is her name; her name tag says Marie) is really nice and friendly. really sociable The food: -Hashbrown portion was small. -Bacon strips weren't crunchy (I prefer them crunchy) -They have chocolate chip pancakes! -All-You-Can-Eat-Pancake FTW! read more

The Bf and I came here this morning. There was hella people outside but since he was wanting IHOP I made him go inside to see how long the wait was. They said about 15 minutes but really... We waited 30. Oh well... The Bf gets what's he wants. Haha. Our service was great and our food was good! Made us both happy campers. Thanks for breakfast! read more

The wait to get a table wasn't long but the wait for food ruined my experience. I got the chicken bacon griller and I was very disappointed. The lettuce was bad and the fries were not fresh. The chocolate chip pancakes were the highlight of my meal. I'd pick Dennys over IHOP anyday. To top it off customer service was not on point. read more

Dear IHOP, The experience inside your restaurant tonight was... Well... We came in and the server was wrapping up at a table with 2 ladies and saw us and came to seat us. She seemed put out that we asked for a half table, half booth. There was one other table with 4 gentlemen and otherwise the restaurant seemed quiet. A gentleman had just left and she was picking up his receipt. "Oh MY GOd! I LoVE VINNY! I got a $50 tip!" She ran screaming through the restaurant and into the back hollering about how amazing this $50 tip was. First, that seemed really inappropriate. Secondly, it also made me as a guest, feel she set the bar. I mean, fifty bucks, she MUST be good! She made a comment about going to Cancun. I wish she had gone, right then. It would have been less disappointing. Almost 5 minutes go by and she is scribbling all over receipts at her station, another group is at the door waiting to be seated, and we are waiting for menus and drinks. For only 2 other tables plus us and the new people who entered, we were kind of surprised and felt like she was way more interested in her $50 tip, than anyone else actually eating there. I wish my experience was only this, but alas, we had only JUST begun. She shouts across the restaurant at us, "I HAVE TO clear all my tickets. I cannot come get drink orders from you until I have gotten my tickets cleared." Really unprofessional. I wish she had just continued to ignore us. We were chatting and while stunned by her taking so long, being shouted at was another thing. She did not even acknowledge the people standing in the entryway. She comes over, with menus and tells us "I can take your drink orders after I take that tables food order over there. I will be back." What?!?! Okay... She goes over to the table of guys, and takes their order. The 2 ladies had left and the group at the entryway was still... not seated. After repeating back the 4 gentlmen's order, she seats the ladies, at the table right next to those guys. For an empty restaurant at 2am, it seemed odd to sit people so close together. A lone man stood in the waiting area waiting for a seat. She approached the ladies. "I have to take that table's (mine) food order then I will come back for your drink orders." They seemed a little confused, like us. We ordered our drinks and she repeated it all back. She apologized that she could not take our food order (despite us knowing what we wanted) until she got the ladies table drink order. Okay... She is taking the ladies drink order and the man who had been waiting, sat in the middle of the restaurant by himself. He had decided to seat himself. She shouts at the man and says he has to wait to be seated. He asks if there was something wrong with his table choice. "Well I wouldnt have put you there... but fine. I have tables everywhere so, you can stay there." There are four tables total now. She arrives to take our order. "Where the Fuck are these people coming from?!" What did SHE JUST say!? We order our food. She repeats back the order, writing it down and runs back to the kitchen and after 2 or 3 moments comes out to the ladies table. She is halfway between taking their orders and says "Sorry, food just went up in the window and I need to take it right now al I will be back to finish your order." Really?!?! She failed to notice our drinks were empty as she delivered food to the guys table. She returns to the ladies table to finish their orders. She has walked past and ignored the poor man who seated himself 2 more times. Not even a drink order taken. Our food arrives and she asks if we need anything. My friend explains his waffle is gone. She repeats her earlier statement as a couple arrive. "Where are all the fucking people coming from?" Then she spins in a circle and huffs and says she completely forgot his waffle because of all of the people. She offers to put it in and he says no because we are in a hurry and at this point he will pass. I ask for silverware and my drink 3 times and she fails to acknowledge me and is spinning in a circle at the table and tapping her fingers together and seems unable to process any stimuli. Finally, she apologizes and leaves. She seats the couple and takes their drink order. The man is still seated alone, having swiped his own menu, and still hasn't been approached. We hear the doordash DING! and she screams "oh hell no! Jesus Christ No!" We all looked at each other and contemplated leaving. The ladies went into the bathroom and she begins to panic assuming they walked out on her without paying. Our drinks remain empty. And no silverware has arrived. She is stacking all the dirty dishes on the 2 tables that were unclean when we had arrived. Just piles of dirty plates. She took more steps going to that table than to the kitchen. It was even worse, but no more room to write. read more

This is probably the worst IHOP I have been to. Ordered a pancakes combo. The side items were brought 30 mins later and the pancakes an hour late! read more

The food here tastes so salty now! My family used to eat here many times when they first opened. It's been a long time since I've been back; however, I noticed that their foods are not as great anymore. My beacon and sausages were burnt and I address it to the waitress that I believe the oil may be old. She went thru a lecture about how their oils were not old. Then my husband had to wait for them to make him a new plate because the black pepper cap was broken and wasn't sealed so when he used it, all the black pepper fell onto his beef. His beef wasn't that good anyways. He said he tried one before the black peppers fell on there and it was hard and salty. I also address that to the waitress and she told me that the beef was pre-marinated. Well surprisingly, it wasn't like that the second time around. The beef was so juicy and tender and it didn't taste salty at all! My husband said that he thinks it's because we complained and they gave a better quality beef. LOL! read more

I love Ihop. This place is great. It is clean, the waiters are friendly and the food is pretty good for a chain restaurant. My family and I have been saying for years that someone should put a Ihop in town and it finally happened!! The only downside for Ihop is that the parking lot is very small and fills up very quickly. read more

So you're all wondering why I gave 5 stars for an IHOP. One of my motto's is that "we can eat anywhere, but it's the service that makes it the reason why we choose to come back." My man Christopher has skills. If you ever come to this place, ask for him. He works 5 days a week, typically after 4 PM. He is a tall, lanky, African-American, with dreads tied back. He shows great enthusiasm, is respectful, pays attention to detail, is polite, and knows how to make your dining experience pleasant. He waits on you but doesn't swarm you. His personality is extremely friendly, inviting you to enjoy the experience. He even opened the door for me on my way out. Come on, what waiter does that! I've eaten at a lot of places, but very few places have provided the service this young man has given me. I will no longer go to Denny's for any diner food, because Christopher provides better service for the same market niche of food. In business, if you can deliver the promise you gave to your customer, you're going to win the business. What can I say, holla at Christopher the next time you go to IHOP in Milpitas and see what I'm talking about. Oh, the food was typical of what you expect from IHOP, but man, no one can top that service at that price. Truly impressed! read more

I only go here when I'm craving for pancakes or breakfast. To be honest I'm giving them a 3 star rating for service. Don't get me wrong, its just the particular waiter there made us feel so freakin weird! We ordered a plate with unlimited pancakes and I guess we were real hungry because he was like "oh you guys tear through that stack real quick." Made us feel uneasy. I mean its not rude but it stopped us from even getting another stack of pancakes. I guess a lil embarassed. I dont know but it kind of ruined the night for the both of us. However their breakfast is bomb. Gotta know what to order though! read more

Came here for New Year's Day brunch and it was good! Tip: this is the best diner to go to if you like turkey bacon. It was thin and crispy and the portions were big - I've had turkey bacon at Denny's and Bill's Cafe before, but IHOP is the best. The service is great and the place is clean! Will come here again - oh and they've easily accommodated our large parties with little to no wait - YAY! read more

IHOP - Blueberry french toast. - American Near Me - Milpitas, California

My kids love diner food. I love not having to cook. It's a win win. Located within walking distance to Embassy Suites, you can usually tell how long your wait time will be by looking at the how full the parking lot is. I highly suggest getting here by 9AM on the weekends. The inside is clean, most of the servers we've had have been above average, and the food is consistent. My one gripe would be the kids meal prices. Majority are $5 w/o a drink.. and there are no free refills on milk or juice, just soda. That gets kinda pricey, and makes me rather go to McDs where my kids at least get a toy for that price. read more

Since Ihop opened up right next to my house, it is the only place I hit whenever I need a good fix for a breakfast meal. I don't come often, but when I do, I always enjoy my time here, although I wish it wasn't as packed as it gets sometime. There is one waiter is always so friendly and kind. He is very attentive to our needs. Everytime I come, we always get that waiter, I wish I could remember his name so I can give him a shoutout! But anyway, the food is great, service is amazing. I love that it is open late hours and all throughout the day and that the breakfast menu is available whenever. read more

The best customer service and cleanest IHOP I have ever been to! When we arrived the host greeted us with a smile and we were immediately seated. Loved how the menus weren't sticky like other IHOPs and the tables and seats were clean. Our server Osvaldo and his trainer Terri were excellent that they got our orders quickly, stopped by check up on us often, and were quick to refill our drinks. Food is the standard IHOP food, but the customer service and cleanliness is what makes it great! read more

I don't really have any bad experiences with the IHOP here. For what you get, it's pretty standard offerings. Omelettes, pancakes, and sometimes the omelettes and pancakes get a little more fancy. However, all of the food is somewhat pricey just for standard breakfast and diner food. What I don't like is getting the IHOP food smell on myself after eating. It smells like I've worked there. Maybe the restaurant needs some airing out. read more

Pretty nice place, always a lot of people. You can sit near the window, nice. We ordered pancakes and crepe. I like crepe more because pancakes contains too much baking soda so I can taste it. read more

So far so good. Wait time was only about 10-15 mins (we were told 20-30 mins, I think). Especially on a busy Saturday night after the Great America fire works. read more

I placed a pickup order for some breakfast for dinner the other night and I have to say the service was exceptional. They made sure the whole meal was right, they double checked to make sure we had enough butter and syrup, and left us feeling happy and satisfied. Love the customer service here! This is our new favorite ihop! read more

Went here with a group of 7 other folks after we shut down a bar. So it was about 2:30am when we got here. We were seated fairly quickly and our waiter was attentive. Drinks came out fast but it seemed to take forever to get the food out. Maybe it just seemed long because it was 3 o clock in the morning and I was tired, but it felt excessively long. Food was decent, didn't hear any complaints from anybody. I had the 6 slices of french toast that were done to perfection. One small snafoo with 1 persons meal. They ordered hashbrowns but were given pancakes instead. Waiter took the pancakes back and made sure the hashbrowns got to the table quickly. Good for late night grubs or breakfast. I'm sure I'll be back. read more

Food is good, like other IHOPs, staff are friendly, missing one star because Door-Dash and on-line orders could mess up their Kitchen, and give customer wrong order. I guess it is not this particular locations fault, it could be the corporation's system. anyway, they need to improve that. If you dine-in, it takes a while to get your food. Cannot compare with the efficiency of some Asian restaurants. read more

I LOVE this IHOP. Been coming here for 4 years maybe more. I enjoyed it mostly when I was pregnant. Managers are awesome! Very respectful & willing to go above & beyond !....just today I felt so pressured to pay before even finishing my food. Cecilia our waitress didn't even ask for our order someone else had to step in, get our drinks & food. She then followed me with the check but I wasn't leaving yet, just got up to use the restroom. That won't stop me from coming tho read more

I just ate here for breakfast for the 2nd time this morning and it was great. Once again very satisfied with them. Just dont go on Sunday mornings! Its insanely crowded. On the menu's now they have calorie counts for each meal. They also have "fresh&fit meals" or somthing and they are low cal meals that come with fresh fruit. Thats not really my thing, I got a belgin waffle combo which was excellent (probably 1200+calories) and my gf got a spinach omelet (which was the lowest calorie meal they had on the menu) and she said it was great. Our service was excellent. We had this black chick who was super on point. She was really observant, She got us extra napkins (without me asking) filled up my water (without me asking) and was super friendly. I prefer this place over Denny's read more

I was very impressed with the help today. Friendly without being phony and all the staff seemed to have high morale...resulting in good service and friendly atmosphere all around! And the food was good, too! My favorites put together! Sirloin tips and eggs and the Cinnestack pancakes! Yum!! read more

Good as usual. You can't go wrong with IHOP and we went around 1 so there was no wait. Everything was good, the order was right and everything came out hot! My sweethearts only complaint was that he wanted a side of crepes and no one told him it only comes with one teeny tiny little baby crepe. Other than that all was delicious. read more

Food was very good.... I came in with my Mother in law and our waitress Silvy was rude. That is why 3 Stars, she Spoke to us like we were bothering her. Not a kind person almost throwing change down. When you work in the customer service industry , sometimes you got to fake it to make it. And if that is your natural disposition... Well maybe rethink your career. Now on the other hand Chau was another server, not ours . My Mother in law drop her fork and Chau came running to give her a new fork and she was smiling the whole time. That is truly amazing customer service. If Chau was my server this experience would have been 5 stars!!! read more

This is a recent IHOP location that just opened and that's why the lights are so bright in the building. I ordered the balsamic glazed chicken with a house salad and also got some garlic fries for appetizers. I thought they forgot my salad but it came a little bit late, after my main course. I got to try a couple of buttermilk pancakes and used the strawberry topping on the side. The service started off shaky since we asked our server for extra napkins and wondered where the pancakes and salad were but they just came a little late. Other than that, our server made sure we were okay at every visit and was friendly. It's cool to come here on the weekends, since they open 24 hours during that time but close at 11 during the week. Its kind of in a hidden location so its decent. read more

My annoyance has resulted in my first ever Yelp review! I, along with a room full of iHop dining guests, sipped on our drinks for about an hour as we listened to countless apologies for the food delay. An hour later I asked my waiter how much longer for the food and was assured it was coming 'now'. The waiter returned within minutes with his order pad asking for confirmation of our order without explanation. Confused, I asked again how much longer and was then told there was a screw up, and our food was not ready... But then promised as soon as he put our order in it would be instantly ready. Yea right! Don't they still need to crack the eggs and cook the sausages? My girlfriend and I walked out...Still hungry...and now heading towards another place to eat! read more

Having worked in the restaurant biz, I admit I'm pretty tough to please. I must say that I am quite impressed with this place, for both service and food quality. Workers were very friendly and answered questions we had from the menu. They checked on us regularly and gave us everything we needed. Even the busser came by once to see if we needed anything. I noticed the workers all helped each other out with their tables and the other customers were well taken care of. The food was so ONO! That's YUMMMMMY in Hawaiian. (yes, all caps with five M's) My little sister ordered the Cinnamon pancakes and hash browns, my husband ordered the Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich with fries, and I ordered the appetizer sampler with mozzarella sticks, chicken fingers and onion rings, the big steak omelette with three pancakes, and an order of red velvet pancakes. The omelette was huge, and filled with a generous amount of hash browns, beef, mushrooms and cheese. The red velvet pancakes were heavenly, served so moist, with whipped cream and powdered sugar. We were more than satisfied with our meal and impressed with the great service. We can't wait to return for another serving of their ALOHA! read more

I would never go here again. Just eat pancakes. I don't like the rest and the service we obtained was extremely slow. I am not going here again. the 2 stars are just for my previous experience in ihop and the pancakes read more

This is probably my favorite breakfast place. It's just as good as all the other breakfast places and less expensive. We always get great customer service there. Its open 24 hours. I love their selection of syrups. When I get the pancakes, I always like to try all of them. They have a great selection of food in general, especially their seasonal stuff like their pumpkin spice pancakes. I work late nights, so it's always nice to grab a late dinner or early breakfast. It's always clean and the décor although modest is very tasteful. The service is quick and the food is delicious. I will go back a million times. Yeah IHOP! read more
