Pancakes
Michael L.

I visited IHOP in San Leandro and it was the first time in many years. I thought the dining area was good a good size with lots of elbow room to enjoy your meal. The only knock and I don't necessarily blame IHOP because they have little control of the surrounding area but a lot of undesirables from the area come inside the restaurant to beg and bother the customers while eating which can be an unpleasant situation. But the staff are great and provide friendly and efficient customer service. I really liked my waitress, Glendy, she was awesome. The food: Overall I thought the food was passable. It's not great but a solid C+. The Bacon Avocado Burger was a little dry and the bun they use was not very good. The omelette and hash brown were solid. The pancakes were ok. While nothing was terrible, nothing was great. Would I eat here again? Maybe. But I wouldn't go out of my way to come again.

My $7 breakfast special. The pancakes were cold, the eggs over easy were not fully cooked, and the bacon had no flavor.

I came in for the $7 breakfast special, which includes two eggs, two slices of bacon, and two pancakes. You definitely get what you pay for. The pancakes were cold, the eggs over easy were not fully cooked the way they should be, and the bacon was boring at best. My husband ordered the ham and cheese omelet with two pancakes, with a side of hash browns and he was much happier with his meal, so at least that worked out. A cup of coffee is $4.79 and it is a never-ending pot, so that part is a decent value. Parking is ample, but the service was less than adequate. We went on a Friday mid-morning around 10:30. It was relatively crowded, but the service still felt slow and lackluster. All in all, the food matched the price. Not terrible, not great, just one of those meals where you shrug and say, "We got what we paid for."

Ham & Cheese Omelette with 2 Pancakes

I came here in the morning around 10am and there weren't a lot of people inside. It didn't even look like the place was half full. I was seated right away and was I told I could sit anywhere I wanted. My order was quick to come out. I got the ham & cheese omelette from their value menu. The eggs were nicely cooked and the little ham pieces were tender. The cheese sauce and melted cheese were so good and made the omelette taste creamy. It also came with 2 buttermilk pancakes which were really fluffy. Service was better than I expected. I'm not sure if it was because I came during their slower morning hours. They did have like 4 or 5 servers on the floor helping guests. I didn't get my servers name but he was very nice and friendly. He made multiple rounds to make sure I had water and if I needed anything else. The inside of the restaurant was clean. I thought the men's restroom was clean too. There was plenty of free parking since this location was inside the San Leandro Plaza.

So my free birthday stack of pancakes! Yummy September 20,2023!    Now 4 sausage  or 4 bacon

The waiter was by himself hustling. He took care of our table and 8 others with a smile. I couldn't believe he was by himself, handling his customers with care. He smiled was very kind and got all of our demands perfect. I'm not sure why he didn't have any help. He smiles and just did his job. This young man needs a raise. Thank you oh I forgot his name. I will find receipt and attach.

Wow was I surprised as the high quality of the food. We shared devil eggs, the sticky dry fried ribs and a salad. Oh my was it an epicurean delight. The food was served timely and tasty. The servers were kind and knowledgeable recommending the menus specialities and I was not disappointed. The drinks were above board and mixed to perfection. This is another San Leandro hidden jewel. The atmosphere was so inviting. Warm and calm, whether you were seated inside or out, you felt comfortable. There was nothing on the menus I would not recommend and the portions are not skimpy. I recommend you order different items so you can share and sample many of the items on the menu. Given the economic climate, the prices are reasonable. I enjoyed my dining experience so much, my husband and I went there 3 days later and was not disappointed and he is somewhat selective. Those I have recommended this restaurant to, have enjoyed their experience also. I highly recommend you try it out and put it on your list of regular favorites. Bon appetite!

Every time I come home from whatever trip I'm on, I stop by this place. So here's the deal. It's literally a hole on the wall. All walks of life are in this place. Everything from drug dealers to cops to blue-collar workers to people in suits and ties. And let me tell you, they're all sitting in the same small cramped area just to eat this food. So the cooks are always Latino, and the guy running the register is always Asian. But when I tell you those burgers come out all grilled with melting drippy cheese on soft buns with gtilled edges and fresh lettuce and tomatoes and perfectly sliced red onion to boot! Oh and let's not forget them old school fries you'd get in middle school that were crinkle cut! And did you notice when you were looking through the pictures of all the food posted on Yelp? I will go so far as to say, 75% of those pictures or of what was left over after the person ate their food. I say that to say it was too good to stop and take that picture first. Taking the picture was an afterthought. When I tell you all of their food is delicious, I genuinely mean that. If you're looking for a good burger with fresh produce and different sides to choose from, this is your place. This is just a really nostalgic spot and hits the mark every time, and can we just talk about how affordable these prices are?? One of these days I'm going to get one of the Korean dishes that are on the menu. Problem is, I always say I'm gonna do that. And I always end up getting the same thing, but I always get it because it's so damn good. The next time if I can remember, I will take some pictures. But don't be mad if they end up looking like all the other ones where the foods already eaten. Lol. And like I've said, after thought. Lol.

I think the veggie burger patty was just okay. It was a little salty while still being bland at the same time. The fries were pretty good though. Overall, the food was pretty good but it wasn't special. I wouldn't be in a rush to come back, but I do think the burgers and other dishes that they have here are pretty solid. The seating at this place is ample -- there are many tables indoor and also a couple of large picnic tables outside. The place is dated and as far as I can tell, no public restroom. But there is also plenty of parking spots in a pretty big lot as well.

I decided to call them up and order a double cheese burger and garlic fries in order to satisfy my late night burger cravings. What I like about A+ is that they put real effort into crafting their burgers/sandwiches. That means quality ingredients, freshness, and solid portions. When I opened the bag to take a look at my meal I realized that I had forgotten how huge their beef patties were! The first bite was excellent... cheesy & beefy goodness between two quality buns. The garlic fries also did not disappoint. They had a great garlic flavor and were crispy yet perfectly fluffy on the inside. I was extremely satisfied with the quality of my meal. In terms of physical location, their restaurant is relatively small and mostly just offers outdoor seating. The area is covered so it is perfectly fine for an evening bite. The staff here are friendly and will answer any questions you might have. A+ remains one of my favorite local burger joints. Check them out sometime!

I love that you can choose the doneness of the patty. I went with medium, and it came out perfectly cooked. The bun was soft, buttery, and rich without feeling too greasy, and every ingredient seemed intentional and added something distinct to the burger. It is a very large burger, though, so be prepared for it to get a little messy. There is a restroom where you can wash your hands, but it requires a key, so bringing hand sanitizer or wet wipes may be helpful. Overall, the burgers are definitely on the pricier side, but I thought the quality justified it. I'd happily come back again.

I ordered the bacon cheeseburger with an extra slice of cheese, swapped the regular onions for grilled onions, and got the fries extra crispy. The burger was amazing. You could really taste the char on the patty, and they even char the bun, which I loved. Everything worked really well together, and it was so good without tasting heavy or greasy like some burgers can. The fries were good, but I personally prefer thinner fries, more like McDonald's size. If I changed anything, I would've asked for extra mayo on the burger. Definitely coming back!
