The waiter, Jorge, was so nice and attentive. He did a very good job! The manager Marlene was so nice and came by to ensure everything was up to par. The food was so delicious and well cooked. I have been to other iHops and this by far is the best one. My kid said that we should come every morning just to eat breakfast and she is very picky with food. read more

Hungry and looking for a quick breakfast spot, I stopped by this place located in a nearby plaza. Parking was easy with no issues early in the morning. Service was fast, and my server was friendly and attentive--checking in to make sure everything was to my liking. There was a family beside my table with an overly hyper kid! Otherwise, the place is your typical diner atmosphere. Overall, a solid option for a quick meal and a convenient bonus that it's within walking distance from my place. read more

My husband & I decided to have breakfast for dinner today. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was nice and quiet when arrived.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server Araceli was so friendly and sweet! One of the best servers we've experienced here. Food was very good. I've never really had a bad breakfast here. They are pretty consistent with their food and service. This location is by far one of the better ones we've been to. There's typically plenty of free parking. read more

I hadn't been to a diner, much less a chain diner, in at least a decade. Outside of hangover food, it simply wasn't a thing. And even then I usually went for JITB. Cut to now, and my daughter says she wants birthday pancakes at IHOP. She said she's never been there and wants to try it out. Who am I to say no to a birthday request. It was around 8am on a Saturday, and the place was about 50% full. We were immediately greeted and led to a booth for four. We had a lovely lady as a server. She was busy, but took great care of us. With the coffee, you get an insulated carafe of hot coffee so you don't go thirsty. The only teeny gripe was that we needed more Splenda for the coffee and couldn't get our server's attention. I just grabbed some off another sugar holder. To be fair, she had a ton of tables and never stopped moving. I was pleasantly surprised at the portion size! All of our plates were full, and the food was delicious. Way better than I expected. The fries were crisp, the bacon cooked nicely, the Cinnabon pancakes were phenomenal, and the fried chicken sandwich filling. [[HIGHLIGHT]]As for ambience, well, there's not much to see unless you people watch. But if you're in good company then this is a comfy place to grab a bite.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Food seemed day-old and skimpy. They need to put discloser on their pictures of plates, "pancakes and food portions appear much larger than what you actually get." For their steep price, you'd think they would not serve child-size portions on adult order. Pancakes were dollar-size, bacon, sausage, and ham, hash browns were over-cooked, greasy, cold, skimpy. Not to mention the turkey sandwich was dried and tough from the inside out like it was day-old. Steep price, bad chefs. Ihop Tampa Ave, Northridge, CA. read more

Oh my--this place was packed on a Sunday morning! Every table was full, but the wait for our party of five was surprisingly quick. Our server was super sweet and made the experience even better. We came in for a simple pancake fix, and they totally delivered--fluffy, delicious, and a big hit with the kids. They especially loved being able to try out the different syrup flavors on the table, which made breakfast feel extra fun. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Despite how busy it was, the restaurant stayed clean, including the bathrooms, which I always appreciate.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, a lively spot with great food and service--I'd happily come back to this location! read more

Every time we go to this IHOP, burnt to hell pancakes. Why?? If you dine in you will send them back at least once. If you order delivery they will be burnt to oblivion. Their pancakes have good flavor. Why burn them? Again EVERY time. read more

I like their value meal for $7 because it's just the right amount of food for me. I'm not overwhelmed with too much serving. They also offer the bottomless pancakes right now but that's for people with voracious appetite. I like that they have 4 kinds of syrup. I've tried them all and my favorite is the butter pecan! We also tried the fish and chips, crunchy and hot inside. I liked it. And it's made of cod not swai. The French toast was a miss for me, no flavor, just greasy. It's open 24 hours so it can satisfy your late night or early morning cravings. They also give you free pancakes on your birthday if you download their app read more

Ihop is a chain and there are a lot of them. Some are great, some not so much. This one is excellent. The place is always clean and the service is great. We have dined there. This time we did pick up for a nearby park and had the best time. The food was perfect. We all had different breakfast items. I love their pancakes and eggs with has browns. My grandson wants any special pancake they have at the time and a side of mac and cheese. My husband loves their steak and eggs and always gets a side salad. The food just never fails and the prices are so fair. It is lid friendly and parking is fee. Have a great time read more

David our server went above and beyond! He got our food on time and noticed we didn't finish our pancakes due to it being slightly undercooked. However, it was no problem they were delicious anyway. Still, David insisted we get another desert order and surprised us with crepes. Thank you for your attentiveness, we will surely be back! read more

My wife wanted to grab lunch here while we were in the plaza doing some shopping. It been years since I went to a IHop and I never been to this location even though I come to the plaza this place is in a bunch of time. I found parking easily today when we came during lunch time. They were not busy at all so we got seated quick. My wife went with their omelette and also got pancakes as well. She like her food and I went with the Cali Roasted Turkey Melt with fries. I saw that it came with multi grain bread and asked if I could do white toast instead which was fine. I thought the Cali roasted turkey melt was alright but I would say other places have better sandwiches. The service was kind of slow and our waitress disappeared, I went to the front desk to ask for the check and also paid there since the waitress didn't come back to our table. read more

Idk why this place doesn't have more stars... I have been coming here for ever and it always hits. I always have such a wonderful experience at this IHOP! The food comes out hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious - exactly what you hope for when you're craving classic breakfast comfort. A special shout-out to Rene, who truly made the visit outstanding. Rene was warm, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. It's rare to find service that feels both friendly and genuinely caring, but Rene and the ihop staff always deliver that and more. Thank you ihop, for making our meal feel extra special! read more

Let's talk about how disgusting this place is and not a professional service. I wouldn't return and now I remember why I don't eat at places like this. 1) the food seems like fast food. There was hair inside the food too. 2) I asked for extra toast bread and 2 were toasted while the rest were not and it was again disgusting 3) I never asked for the check but somehow it ended up on my table and I felt rushed to eat and leave (I get it it's Valentine's Day) read more

IHOP in Northridge is located in a small strip mall next to a Japanese grocery store, Thai restaurant, Chinese bakery and a host of other competing service and food centers on Tampa and Northridge. I ordered the usual pancakes, sausage, orange juice, a couple of strips of bacon and coffee. The pancakes were plump and freshly cooked, warm to the touch and creamy to the taste, as usual. Bacon is ah, similar to what they serve along with the usual sausage patties in the past... coffee was bland today but usually, better tasting way back, perhaps had the last batch of the morning routine. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Parking is plentiful and not much crowd on a Tuesday morning.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Customer service is tops, the usual good morning is still there, and the tables and restaurant ambiance is mainstream American, perfect.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Their bathroom is also clean, typical American restaurant and the floor landscape is also equally clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] To me, what I would really prefer is a little music when having breakfast and I mean soft, quite and calming music which would really tone my thoughts down before I head home to sleep, after a very long night at work. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, it's a really cool breakfast nook for anyone who wants the usual Americana in their morning routines, and simple to order and enjoy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great place to spend an hour to have breakfast a chat with old friends around.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

David Apatiga was our server many times. he was very friendly, attentive, and accommodating. I will miss this IHOP location very much.

The food was good. My son devoured the burger and fries. Our server Gloria H. Was super nice and friendly. She always came back to check on us. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is plenty of tables and chairs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We only waited 2 minutes for a seat on a Saturday morning. Definitely recommend the country fried steak. Yum! read more

This is the worst IHOP. It takes forever for waitstaff to come and get your drink order. Then it takes forever to get your drinks. I would make sure you order your food from the start or when you get your drinks, because you guessed it, IT'S GOING TO TAKE FOREVER for the waitstaff to come back and get your food order and then forever to get your food. They give the smallest glasses of water (and juice) and when you ask for a refill, they either forget or take forever to bring it. The staff here just doesn't care, they hardly come by the table at all to ask if you need anything. And to get your check you have to constantly be in the lookout for your waiter/waitress to flag them down, otherwise you will be sitting there forever. The waitress we got this last time was rude, and brought us our food after it was clearly sitting and had gotten cold. This has happened the last probably 4-5 times I've gone here. This was my LAST time, I've learned my lesson. I'm tired of giving my money to places that make me feel like a burden or I don't feel welcomed. At the bare minimum our food could have been warm, but instead they expect a tip after horrible service. read more

Just ate at ihop Gloria was our server and she was literally the best I feel like this location really knows how to pick the best employees

Just had brunch here with my family. First of all the food is amazing! As good as I remember it being when I was little, if not better. They have classic favorites like the beef steak omelette that I still dream about, and new healthier alternatives as well. A+++ for the food The service is outstanding. We were seated right away and our server, Rene, was attentive and so kind despite being very busy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bathrooms are super clean as well as the entire place. Very well kept.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Can't wait to come back again for brunch read more

IHOP - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Northridge, California

Deals: Yelp and the ihop app advertise the $9 weekday breakfast deals.... BUT this location seems to have it for $7!!!!! Shhhh------ I don't know why it's $2 less... just grab it while you can! Check out my pic that shows the options---total clutch!!! I've been going because -- $14 to feed two full grown adults?!?!? Look around, you'll probably see me eating at one of the other tables. Service: 5 stars for David, our server- helpful and with a sense of humor... we drink a lot of water and every time he passed he dropped off another cup of water. When my maple bacon pancakes were missing the crumbled bacon on top he didn't bat an eye- he brought me an extra good serving of crumbles. Food: pretty standard iHop, so if you like them, or are into diners, you'll love it, if you are thinking it's gonna be hipster foodie quality stuff, go to a hipster place. I love that they give you a carafe for your coffee or tea- it's one of the draws to come here for me. The french toast is thick and fluffy and not greasy, so this is one of my favorite places to get french toast, with strawberries for me. I normally like country fried steak, but the country steak is actually made with hamburger, so I'd pass on that. November has maple bacon pancakes! I'm addicted. This place is totally dead outside of regular busy breakfast/brunch hours. For a while I couldn't figure out how this place stayed in business because I either came on a weekday morning or some night when I wanted breakfast for dinner, and it was empty. Service can be spotty at off times because of that, but it's never been bad. I'm here for a holiday breakfast at 10:30am and we were the 12th party in line. It's the first time I've seen it completely packed. They use Yelp's texting system, so that's nice, and we were seated way faster than what Yelp predicted. (Yelp said 30 min, we were seated in under 10) Ambiance is like a family diner, very standard iHop- similar to Denny's or Coco's if you have never been. Service was actually faster during this busy time. For those who know me, I always judge a restaurant's restroom. I don't like that it requires a code to enter the two stall women's restroom. But it was fully stocked and very clean despite the busy crowded restaurant, so maybe there is method to their madness. There are a lot of servers and hostesses that speak Spanish, so it's a great place to bring Abuela to. read more

Got the breakfast sampler pick up, to go. Came with a lot of food. There was actually a really good deal of you order it through Postmates. Cheaper than ordering directly from the restaurant. Got the hash browns extra crispy, blueberry pancakes and the scrambled eggs with cheese. Everything was pretty good, no complaints. Fast pick up, was really in about 10 minutes. Very nice on a busy Saturday morning. read more

Classic Brunch Vibes with a Local Crowd I stopped by the IHOP in Northridge for a late Sunday brunch, and it was clearly a popular spot--crowded with lots of locals enjoying their weekend meal. Always a good sign! I went for the classic brunch combo--fluffy pancakes with their original syrup (simple and delicious), crispy hashbrowns, sunny-side up eggs, and bacon. The hashbrowns had a perfect golden crunch, and a splash of Tabasco took them up a notch. I also tried the strawberry waffles--beautiful presentation, but the red syrup wasn't my favorite. A bit too sweet for me personally, but waffle fans might still enjoy it. Overall, it was a solid brunch experience, quick service despite the crowd, and a cozy spot for a relaxed weekend meal. read more

I have been to this location 2 times and I have to wait 10-15 minutes to order my breakfast. I see people who walked in way after me and the server comes and takes their order. I see a pattern that they take the orders of Latino customers quicker than African-American, Caucasian and Asian customers. I don't like saying things like this but I can't believe the disrespect that customers face here. 1/5 for customer service. read more

Not my first time at iHop but first time in a while. I'm a big fan of iHops gluten free pancakes (not recommended for allergy). They gave us the option of sitting at a table or booth. Not super packed at 11am so it was very comfortable. And our server, Rene, was super nice and awesome. Let us know about their cool wheel :) The steak was great (there were also caramelized onions) as well as the pancakes, of course. Their hash brows are super crunchy! read more

Ordered 4 dinners for delivery. One was missing the side (fruit) and two were basically kid-sized "plate" meals. The only one that looked good was the breakfast plate. Perhaps there's something worth learning! My pot roast plate was small portion and dry AF. No gravy was included. The predominant flavor of the meat was salt with hints of pot. We got lots of ketchup, though. At least I got well hydrated as drinking lots of water was required to get the food down the gullet. The broccoli was the only part of the meal that was really enjoyed. There was absolutely no value for the money. It was disappointment at first sight and last bite. read more

This is less of a food review and more of a customer service complaint. My family and I decided to come here on Christmas morning to get breakfast. My wife asked me to go inside and get us a table while she waited in the car with the kids, since they are very young and tend to run around. I went inside and waited for the hostess to ask how many people were in my party. When it was my turn, I said two adults and two kids. She replied, "Okay, we have a table ready," and then asked if everyone in my group was present. I told her my wife and kids were outside in the parking lot and that my wife was bringing them in. She then said that the entire party had to be present in order to be seated. Immediately after that, she asked the person behind me how many people were in their party and proceeded to seat them ahead of me, even though they were behind me in line. I told the hostess that wasn't how it should work, and she responded by saying, "That's the rule today." I understand that it was Christmas, but where was the Christmas spirit? Instead of receiving quality customer service, I was met with a rude attitude from the girl behind the counter and one of the older lady servers as well. Once my wife and kids came inside, we were finally seated. At that point, I began noticing other issues around the restaurant. [[HIGHLIGHT]]For example, it had rained heavily the night before, and there was water leaking from the roof onto the floor right where the servers were walking out of the kitchen with food. If water is leaking from the roof, that raises concerns about possible damage and even mold growth above the ceiling. Is this building not being properly maintained to code? Are customers expected to eat food coming from a kitchen that may have mold in the ceiling? That is completely unacceptable[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. I will not be coming back here again, and I highly recommend that anyone looking for breakfast go somewhere else whether it's the Denny's across the street or any other IHOP besides this one. The staff here is extremely rude, and the building appears to be falling apart and not properly maintained. read more

Last time I come to this IHop, service was terrible. We came in and they sat us down no one ever came by to ask what we wanted to drink or take our order. When we finally had a waitress come it was 25 minutes of wait. We ordered 2 orders of pancakes simple fast nope we waited almost 40 minutes still nothing came out yet 2 other parties who sat after us had there drinks and food and we couldn't even get our simple order of pankcakes. What made it worse was that the 3 different waitresses walked by a few times acknowledge us sitting there but not once did they stop to ask if we had been attended, this is what led me to write this review. PS you need to do better read more

It's been ages, since I have been to an IHOP. Had to visit because their menus have undergone several changes over the years. Apart from the customary eggs, pancakes and French toasts, they have biscuits, crepes, Benedicts and even a special menu with several omelette choices. The menus themselves are bright and colorful, with mouthwatering pictures of both their breakfast and lunch/dinner choices that are available 24 hours. We ordered several items. The build your own omelette with hash browns, bacon, cheese and green peppers was a hit. The French toast combo with scrambled eggs, bacon and hash browns needed more work on the toast itself. The Cinnamon bun crepes were well presented. I just had an appetizer, the jalapeño cheese bites (6 of them for $10.99). They were perfectly breaded, nice and crispy on the outside, with a half cut piece of jalapeño and melted cheddar on the inside. This was fantastic. Our server was Marilyn and she provided informative, timely, professional service that was of high quality and delivered in superb fashion. Need to go back to try more of the menus. read more

Kids eat free sike. False advertisement! But yet have a big sign on the window saying kids eat free 4pm on. Angela the waitress was so rude and told us even though we ordered almost a 20 dollar entree plus other things our kids meal wasn't free.. was so rude and unprofessional staff. What was supposed to be a nice dinner turned out to be somewhere we won't be eating again. Don't waste your time going here if you try to get kids eat free. Cause it's not true. read more

This place has consistently gone downhill. The last very few times I've been it has been disappointing. Went today with a friend, had breakfast. I had eggs, bacon, fruit, toast. The fruit was about 4 days past being servable. It was brown and clearly old. The bacon was black!! Burnt to a crisp. The toast was so saturated in melted butter it was disgusting. My friend had the breakfast sampler. The sausage was gross, she spit it out. Bacon was like rubber, eggs and hash browns were not good. Only thing that was ok was the waitress,she was very nice. The quality of the food is just bad!! Has been for years. Will never go back. read more
