Restaurant was clean, not too busy, and we received our meal in a timely manner. The waiter was pleasant and did a good job. read more

I arrived just before 7am on a Monday morning. The sign said "Please Wait to be Seated". I waited. I waited. I waited. I could hear the sound of plates rattling in the background, like it was busy as all get-out, and they were having a problem keeping up, but there was just one, single customer in the dining room, with a menu on their table that they had finished reading about the time I came in. They were waiting, too. I kept waiting. At first, I was curious just how long it would take, and whether anyone would apologize for not acknowledging me sooner, but after more than five minutes, and no seeing any sign of life, save for the lone customer waiting for someone to come back to their table, I gave-up, and left. I wonder what was so important that no one cared to even look at the dining room. read more

If I could give zero stars I would, it is that bad. It is easy to understand the 2 star rating so far at this location. I was meeting a friend at the nearby BWW to watch football, but I was early so thought I would have a simple breakfast. I have only been to IHOP once, in Seattle and it was very low quality. I never got to eat as the hostess, Mandy, determined a wait list was mandatory when there were plenty of open tables. I was the 4th party added to the list and was told it would be 15-20 minutes?? I asked her if they were shorthanded as I saw numerous tables available. Mandy stated that she had just sat three tables, and wanted to slow it down...hmmm. I then went to the empty, not being seated section off to the side and then asked why it was empty. A taller gentleman told me when they try to seat the section they are always told it is too cold?? I then stated I would sit in this area, but Mandy quickly stated there were no servers available for the section. I then told her to take me off the list, and I would go somewhere else. IHOP is definitely executing the art of "sales prevention". They want the sales to be right where they can control them. But they won't receive any of my dollars in the future. Simply terrible. read more

I love coming to this iHop and this is the first time I've had a bad experience. Came in with my friend for breakfast but unfortunately we didn't find anything we were craving on the menu. My friend asked for a coffee to go and the waiter says to us, "no food?" We said "no thank you, sorry." To what his response is, "yeah it's a lot to pay." Like what the hell?? So rude and stupid. What made him assume we couldn't pay! Absolutely unprofessional. This was Wednesday, May 13th 2026 at 12:15pm. read more

So, yeah, it's an IHOP, so some tempering of your expectations are in order. However, other than having to wait for a table despite half the restaurant being empty on a late Saturday morning (indicative of being understaffed), the service was friendly and attentive, the food was surprisingly decent (I had the Bourbon Bacon Jam burger, my wife had the Pesto Veggie egg-white omelette, and our son had the French Toast sticks with fruit), and the restaurant cleaner than most diners I've encountered. Take note, though: the sign out front still says 24 hours, but that is decidedly not the case, as they are only open from 6am until 10pm, 7 days a week. read more

We recently went to a different location on the Washington side and it was a great experience with good food. I wanted to give our visiting family members a taste of nostalgia after picking them up from the airport and that was a big mistake on my part. The only thing good about this location is the convenience to the airport and there not being any other breakfast places nearby, but don't let that fool you into thinking it's worth it. Our waiter was very frantic, lacked knowledge about basic menu items, and was overall very short with us. There weren't that many other customers dining in at the same time but service the entire time was very slow and we had to ask our waiter for water multiple times, let the waiter know we were ready to order multiple times, ask for the check multiple times, and the food took longer than it ever has at an ihop to come out. Once our food did come out, three out of five of our orders were wrong. No one in our party even had any crazy modifications or requests to their order but somehow it was like we all ordered completely different items. North then made it seem like we were in the wrong for what we ordered and that it was a hassle to correct the modifications. For example, I ordered "a full stack of buttermilk pancakes" and I was given a place of two pancakes. Now for the worst part...While waiting for our food, there was a fight that broke out at the front of the restaurant. Since we were in a booth, we couldn't see all that was going on but we heard yelling from multiple guys, saw and heard dishes being thrown in the air and slammed on the floor, and then two guys ran out the front door. Additional iHop workers were called from the back to stand guard at the front of the restaurant (even though they were trying to cover up what just happened) and the police were called to monitor the restaurant for the rest of the time we were there. When we asked our waiter about the commotion, he lied to us and said there was no commotion at all even though we all just saw and heard a big, honestly frightening thing going on. We asked if we were safe staying where we were and the waiter laughed at us... We do NOT recommend this location. read more

Marcus at IHOP was genuinely the best waiter I've had in a long time. From the moment I sat down, he was friendly, attentive, and on top of everything without ever making it feel rushed. My drink was always full, the food came out exactly right (and I ordered something off menu and a little crazy) and he checked in at the perfect times. What really stood out most was his attitude from the moment I walked into the door--positive, professional, and clearly someone who takes pride and joy in making sure guests have a great experience. He turned a regular IHOP visit into an excellent one. His customer service alone will make your experience. COME SEE THIS GUY MASTER HIS CRAFT! read more

My family and I walked over to this IHOP in CascadeStation (next to PDX airport) around 8:00am on a Sunday morning to find the doors locked and the inside completely unlit. We checked the hours of operation posted on the door and 8:00am was within their stated hours of operation, but there were no notes on to door to tell customers the restaurant was closed. My family and I had to settle for overpriced microwaved food at the hotel we were staying at. This instance in my opinion shows a complete lack of respect for customers and represents a failure of owners and managers. I understand times are tough for restaurants in terms of finding good, reliable help, but how much does it cost to put up a sign saying something to the effect of "We are closed Sunday [insert date] and apologize for the inconvenience"? This location has so much potential given how many hotels are in the general area. AFAIK, this IHOP location is also the **only** breakfast location in CascadeStation, so why can't it capitalize on this advantage? What am I missing??? read more

Our waitress was Isabella and she was a delight. She was so personal and thought to take great care of us party of six. Her level of hospitality was out of the roof. I'm going to spend this review time talking about our experience. Today is Easter and IHOP is one of the few places that you don't have to make a reservation and no crowd. Though they were short staffed Isabella made sure we were well taken care of. We enjoyed everything from pancakes, to waffles, hash browns, bacon and sausages and orange juice. I'm doing vegan and didn't think I'd find anything on their menu but I did. Waffles, hash browns and a plant based sausage. I was satisfied. read more

My grandchildren and I saw the 2 star rating but decided it was worth a try. So glad we did!!! It was a Sunday evening and not many customers but we were greeted by Marcus who served us and he was wonderful. My grandaughter ordered Silver 5 with fruit side (bananas and strawberries) and it was delicious. My grandson ordered chicken and waffles and he says they were the best he has ever tasted. The chicken was average but we took most home and reheated it the next day and he ate it all! No carbs for me so I had eggs and bacon and they substituted fruit for the pancakes. We had great service. This is a big restaurant so should always have plenty of room. You park in the back and it looks closed but the entrance is the front facing the road. Again, shout out to Marcus who was so nice and friendly. read more

What a great experience! We had dinner here with our grandchildren, ages 10 and 8. Marcus, our server, was friendly and cheerful. Service was prompt and our orders were correct. The food was good. Marcus checked back with us periodically to make sure we had what we needed. The restaurant was busy and even so, we got great service and had an enjoyable experience, thanks to Marcus. read more

I hesitated going here with the lack of great reviews. But thought I'd give it a chance. Service was great. Greeted promptly. Service staff was so nice! Then it went downhill... Our coffee was pre-sweetened? Black coffee that tasted so sugary. Got an omelette, one of the strangest omelettes I've had in my life. The chicken was almost rubbery? And it was cold. Couldn't finish it. I went and used the restroom. I actually threw up because it smelled like a sewer pipe busted in there. Unreal. Now, I have food poisoning from all of it... Not saying to avoid this place, but eat with caution. read more

A friend of mine and I stopped in here to grab a quick breakfast before he had to catch a flight. The restaurant is unfortunately understaffed in some way it seems, because even though most of the tables were empty, there was still about a 15 minute wait to get a table at 9:45 a.m. However, once we were seated, service was remarkably fast. Our server came by before taking drink orders and said something along the lines of, "I don't mean to rush you, but I just want to let you know, a 12 top just sat down and we only have one and a half cooks right now, so if you're ready to order right now, it'll get in before that 12 top order goes in." Which was perfect, because we already knew what we wanted and if we had to wait around, we would have had to rush to make it through security. In what felt like minutes, my burger with onion rings came out, along with my friends Philly cheese steak. Fun fact: you can choose pancakes as your side! My friend had been looking forward to his cheese steak, he doesn't get to come to IHOP very often and he said it didn't disappoint. My burger was delicious, and my onion rings were even better. read more

It's cold and slow. We waited for 50-60mins for our food. And then said it was less time the manager came out to try to tell me i was wrong on my waiting times. Not the first time I come here and the same thing happens. read more

Let me just say that the horribly bad reviews are 1000% deserved. I mean at least 20 tables unoccupied, including a little booth right next to hostess stand. But noooo... all I get is "our kitchen is understaffed and we're trying to let them catch up. so a 30 min. wait with other parties stupidly sitting there in wait area. what horrible stain on the IHOP brand read more

You can get breakfast foods and more here. I was craving some pancakes and wanted some crepes. I ordered a strawberry cheesecake pancake. It had all the toppings on the side with pieces of cheesecake in the batter. Also got a cinnamon roll crepe and some crepes with fresh fruit. The cinnamon roll crepe had creme inside it and cinnamon drizzle on top with strawberries. It was good, but a little sweet. The plain crepes were ok, a bit plain. I do wish it came with some whipped cream or powdered sugar. The crepes were fine with the fresh strawberries, blueberries and blackberries. read more

Meh, not a good experience all around. Everything came out cold. Waitress did not check back with me once in 20 minutes. I had to flag her down to get my check. No coffee refill, I guess I'm invisible? Good news is I won't be coming back. I don't expect a 5-star meal at IHOP, but come on man! How about some minimum service standards? read more

If I could do -10 stars I would. Save yourself the trouble and do not go to this location. My husband and I wanted to get some breakfast and regretted it instantly. Food was so disappointing and bland. The waiter handed us plastic fork and knife. I thought it was because they were understaffed or something. NOPE, just us with our plastic utensils, everyone else who came in after us and got seated got normal silverware. That right there should have been a red flag already. We got the steak bites and eggs, barely ate anything off our plates, order berry crepes to go, and it looks like someone bit into the center of the crepe. Ewww threw them out. Not even 30 minutes after leaving, my husband and I both felt sick to our stomach. Ended up throwing everything up Absolutely disgusting! read more

Ha.... I ordered based on what their online menu suggested to do for a vegan. I would never have gone here as a vegan or bothered then with a strange order if the website didn't specially recommend it on their specific vegan menu. The staff had no idea what I was talking about, and truly that's not their fault. iHop shouldn't advertise a vegan menu if they aren't going to share that information with the restaurants themselves. They listed impossible meat sausage on their menu but what I got was clearly meat. I did notice til I took a bite, unfortunately. Truly a terrible experience and I don't blame the staff at all. Take down your vegan menu online or make sure everyone is on the same page, iHop. read more

Downward spiral; I used to enjoy this place as a wholesome, healthy breakfast. The food tasted of a dirty grill, the waitress goofed up my order and made it out to be my fault. The coffee didn't seem to be decaf. It took forever to get my check even after she picked up my dishes from the table. I will not be coming back to this one. read more

We came here for breakfast! This IHOP was fantastic! Martha, our server, was very helpful and friendly. We had the breakfast crepes and the 2X2X2. Both breakfasts were hot and very delicious. The coffee was good too. We will definitely be eating here again! read more

IHOP - Coffee - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - PORTLAND, Oregon

This location is extremely understaffed and extremely busy on a Sunday. The wait is horrendous especially ordering online. I ordered online to beat the wait but still ended up waiting at the restaurant. The app did not work either since they didn't find my order and when I tried calling in to confirm it they received my order, nobody picked up. You would be waiting for 1 hour if you were to come on Sunday, they do not have a reservation system. Only pen/paper to write down names for the waitlist. I ordered through the website at 11:30am, app said could not find my order but online said it did. Called at 11:05-11:10 to confirm and no answer. Gave the website benefit of the doubt and at 11:45am, I get a text saying my order was processed. 12:00pm of me getting there, standing in a long line and got to a host/server at 12:10pm and she tells me that they're still working on it and it's going to be another 10 minutes. That's fine I said. Waited for 15 minutes and no order yet. Next time I know not to come on a super busy day like a Sunday. Maybe I'll give it another chance in the late afternoon time when it isn't busy. The food was great though. read more

One of the worst I hop have in Portland horrible waiter service, long long wait time with the empty empty tables, food always come in cold and the waiters never come back and check you don't waste your time here don't It's not worth it read more

45 minute wait for a table when there were only 5 tables in the place, was told orders were taking in excess of 30 minutes (our server was so honest), leaving feedback with their feedback online and not hearing from anyone. read more

First of all we weren't even looked at when entering the restaurant and being asked how many. The place wasn't even busy. We followed hostess to a booth and got our coffee and placed an order of crepes. The crepes had absolutely no flavor at all. I put tons of syrup on thinking that would help but they still tasted like nothing. Needless to say I didn't eat them and the waitress didn't even ask why. Maybe she knew already. Hard to pay $8 for two cups of black coffee that wasn't anything substantial. I probably won't be returning. read more

Our server Mila was absolutely amazing, she was super nice, and extremely accommodating, despite being the only server. Whenever we asked for something she came right back with it, I asked to move because I was freezing and she moved us to the warmer side, She had a great attitude, our family and I had an awesome time, great food and outstanding customer service, we told her if we're ever in Portland again most definitely would be back to have her as our server.. thanks again Mila, the McDaniels. read more

Our experience at this IHOP location was A-OK -- the service was excellent, but when comparing the food to other breakfast establishments in the Portland area, my overall rating comes out at a solid 3 stars. This location was very convenient for us, as we had just dropped our son off at PDX for an early morning flight -- and we wanted to go to IKEA after breakfast. Since we were at the "International House of Pancakes", I had to get a stack of original buttermilk pancakes -- I had tried them 20+ years ago, and remembered they were actually pretty good. The flavor of yesterday's pancakes were great, but the consistency was anything but the "fluffy" description on the menu. It didn't help that all they had to offer was fake high fructose syrup, and not real maple syrup -- but I suppose the majority of customers prefer the fake stuff, anyway. I also opted for a side of bacon with my pancakes, which I found to be nice and smoky, but very much on the thin side. Once again, they were just OK. My daughter went with a French toast combo, and she enjoyed her meal, but agreed with me about the thin bacon. The French toast itself was nice and thick, and it was perfectly cooked, but we found it had a strange floral aftertaste to it. If you come in knowing that this is a national chain, and without the expectations you might have for a local café, then you can have a decent experience here. read more

Hadn't been to IHOP in forever, but really enjoyed the food. Used to go all the time when my kids were young. Place was very busy, but didn't have to wait long for a table. Waitress was very attentive, and helpful. Restaurant very clean, and staff very cheerful. read more

SERVICE like I remember 50-years ago! Growing up in a serving family I thought service of old was gone; I was wrong. I had a late lunch yesterday during their 'Happy Hour' and not only saved money but had an extremely relaxing meal. My waitress was from the 'old school' and I appreciated it. I had Strawberry Tea, a 'Happy Hour' Omlett made to order, and a short stack. I was seated within 3 minutes and had my meal before me 15 minutes later. The food was excellently prepared and my waitress refilled my drink four times without me having to ask. She took the time to talk to me about her role in customer service as we reminisced. It was 'Happy Hour' so the restaurant was relaxing. I haven't enjoyed this level of service (with good food) in over 30 years. I now have a challenger to my favorite breakfast restaurant. read more

First time going to this location. Wife and I were turned away from this IHOP because they said no tables available. The place was empty literally. Turning away customers is not a good business model and we will never come back to IHOP. read more

Came here for our last dinner before flying back home to Hawaii after a quick Fall trip to Oregon to enjoy the colorful leaves. I couldn't resist be ordering the Little Elves Merry Marshmello Hot Chocolate which was very good since we were very cold I ordered the Chicken Florentine Crepes, which I could never finish! My daughter ordered the Banana Nutella Crepes, which is not on the menu anymore, but they still make it for you. The service was awesome and the food arrived nice and hot! Will definitely come here again the next time we visit! read more

My fiancee and I were starved for choices for brunch places that are open during this time. This was a pretty standard IHOP although the exterior looks like it may be an older franchise. Everything was pretty much as expected. I had the country fried steak which was crunchy and huge but nothing crazy to write home about. Similarly the pancakes were pretty standard. We were certainly not disappointed and left satisfied and full but not overly impressed. However the one thing that stood out was Adam our server. He was upbeat from the get-go and definitely livened up the mood in an otherwise quiet dining room. Friendly and helpful, he told us that this was his first 4 days here and I hope the rest of his employment goes just as well. read more

You don't really expect much from IHOP. That's okay. You should be able to expect that they know how to serve breakfast, though. A great server, polite and fun, was about to take my order when the manager interrupted us to tell her she was supposed to be on break. She was replaced by someone who was actively wiping her nose, forgot what was on the menu, and took 5 minutes to tell me about how much she didn't want to be at work today. Hash browns were cold in the middle. Eggs in my omelette were still runny. Pancakes were served on a saucer too small for them, so I couldn't eat them or spread butter and syrup without making a huge mess. I don't expect much, but I expect better. read more

HOUR AND A HALF WAIT... NO FOOD. Took my 3 year old son there for a hot chocolate and pancakes. We waited from 11:09am to 12:30pm and no food. Longest wait I've ever waited in any restaurant in my 40 years. The waiter was nice but didn't come out but every 20 minutes to assure us our food was coming. Another table of 6 behind us waited 1 hour and got their food at 12pm. They are and felt so sorry for us they offered us their side of pancakes for my son. Finally at 12:15 my blood sugar was so low my palms started to sweat and I became anxious. The waiter said I'll bring you some sausages. He brought us 2 sausages. My son was very patient for a 3 year old. We left around 12:30 with no food. No manager ever came out the entire time to assure us our food would arrive. What was a great little Father and son tradition is now over. He talked about that hot chocolate with sprinkles since the first time we went. When we left he said, "They don't care about us Dad." Very disappointed in the management here. read more
