Pray to Jesus that my stomach can easily digest the horribly drench t-bone steak and the solid rock pancake. I am so hungry that I have to eat. But I can't finish it because it is so terrible. It feels like were eating at the hot sauna since the temperature is very hot. Food came almost half an hour after we order. Obviously I ordered medium rare and I got well done. Take forever just to fill my water.. Owh well..lesson learned.. read more

IHOP - I just ate the eggs and half of the steak since I'm hungry..yeah 'swimming steak' - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We were yelping around for a decent brunch place as our last stop in Seattle, but unfortunately, we couldn't find any place interesting close by that was on our way out. Boyfriend loves red velvet pancakes, so we said "eff it" and went to IHOP. I got an omelette with pancakes, and he got his beloved red velvets with the traditional eggs, bacon, etc. I wish I remember what the omelette I had was called, but it was SO good and the portion was amazing. It had bacon, sausage, beef, veggies, etc...oh man. I couldn't even finish it (luckily, my man can eat a lot so he ate the rest for me - I hate wasting food ^.^). Service was awesome, they had french vanilla creamer for coffee! Win~~ read more

I came here with a friend during dinner last night. The place had just a few tables on. We were greeted warmly and told to pick our table. After a few minutes, the waiter came over and took our orders. When he brought the food out, he had the orders switched but we just laughed it off. It took what seemed like a long time to get our food since there were only 5 other tables in the whole place. Other than that, the food was typical diner fare, and we were checked on regularly. The bus boy stopped by when we were finished eating and just talking. He offered to take our plates with his tub in hand. He didn't understand me when I said no to taking my water so I shook my head. The parking lot is average. There are some odd handmade diaramas on the wall like 3 brown circles stapled to a board next to a sign explaining free pancakes. One of the plates given to me had a big chip. Our booth's walls had been colored on in crayon, and the bench seat was being held together with duct tape. I won't be coming back.

People cutting in line ahead of my family to get in. Manager guy up front don't care. Took my business elswhere

Yes its a chain and yes I marked the on on Capital Hill down for being a chain. That being said, this one has two things going for it that the one on Capital Hill does not: 1. Its clean. 2. It has good service. So, I rated it four stars, but due to the fact that it is a giant soul sucking chain store I took one star off. Its a good place to grab a quick bite. Its usually not busy and staff is friendly. Prices seem a little high for what you get but over all its not that bad. read more

IHOP Aurora Ave My mother always said if you can't say anything nice about someone, just don't say anything. So here goes................................... Thank You read more

Wasn't sure about location, we we're headed to airport. Pleasantly surprised by cleaniness and quick service. Our food was hot, large portions and very tasty. Best server goes to Sioku( may not be spelled correctly). Our family loved everything about her and her service! Thank you Sioku for an excellent breakfast experience as we leave Seattle. read more

This place has been under new management for a little more than a year now. New staff and wonderful service. I think if you didn't like it here 2 years ago, give it another try with this new staff. I have lived by here for 8 years and can say this has really only been good for about a year and a half now. I use to avoid coming here and now I have breakfast about twice a month now. I look forward to the smiles and good friendly service. I can tell my server, Brandon, loves what he does and it shows in his service. I am a forever customer. read more

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQ3-IQ6zVmA Slow service in an overstaffed, under-customered joint. 3 bus people and 3 wait staff = "Oh, is table 13 MY table" after 10 minutes of sitting ready to order Freezing cold. So cold, Mr guy at other table's pork chops were frozen right up until cooked. (and really, who tells the customer that?) 20% tip for horrific service and standard IHOP fair because using a cash register was beyond the mental capacities of the staff and I was done waiting, for change, or anything else. read more

This is IHOP, not Geraldine's Counter. Set your expectations. It's what my autistic brother likes, so that's why we come here. The prices are reasonable, they have plenty of stuff that will please kids, and it's not all pancakes. They seem to have a few healthier options on the menu too. They also have a deal right now where kids eat free (certain restrictions apply, fyi). Parents: bring your kids here. Stop bringing them to the fancy-pants restaurants I like. This IHOP probably doesn't deserve all three stars. We had some pretty slow service tonight, but they gave my bro an extra pig in a blanket, which made us both happy. I'm sure we'll be back. read more

JESUS H ON A RUBBER CRUTCH!!!! What the heck is a who-cake??? I'll tell you. It is a sloppy, pastel-colored, dripping stack of pancakes covered with swirly frosting crap and sprinkles and topped with a pink lollipop. Just the thing to feed the kiddies at the beginning of that long, long road trip! My adult friend Allen loves these horrific things. The thought makes my teeth feel like dropping out of my head. The regular food at this IHOP is nauseating enough, but WHO-CAKES???? REALLY???? Also, Allen's wife told me he talks to these pancakes. read more

Dear Employees of IHOP - Aurora, I'm sorry than my friends and I went to your establishment hungover. I see now that this was clearly an unforgivable violation of pancake law. I suppose that it is fair that you were rude to every single one of us despite the fact that we were not loud, we were not disrespectful, we ordered promptly and politely, and no one threw up at the table. We waited almost an hour for our food, which I assume is because you had to harvest the wheat and slaughter the pig before you could cook our breakfasts. The next time I'm hungover and want food I guess I'll just go to Taco Bell. My apologies, Amanda read more

I have read a few of the low reviews. I'm pretty sure that the waitress that seated me is the one that was most complained about. I think the criticism has been acknowledged. If it's not the one then I apologize to my waitress for even thinking it was the same person. Service is spectacular. Food is spot on. I read one review that said, "You can't go wrong with the chicken fried steak." That is accurate. read more

Yeah, it's IHOP, but this is one of the better IHOP locations I've been to based on cleanliness and friendly service. I've been here several times and I've always had a decent meal. Last time, however, I went here was last week with a friend who wanted the All You Can Eat Pancakes deal. There were probably a total of 6 full tables in the restaurant, yet it took FOREVER for us to get our food. Our waiter was friendly and nice and kept bringing us water, so that was helpful, but I was shocked at how long it was taking to get our food. I mean, the place was basically empty! It was kind of surprising and disappointing considering the experiences I've had here in the past. Anyway, this place is fine, but, if I had a choice, I'd rather go elsewhere for my pancake fix - especially if I am in a rush. read more

Aside for the fact that IHOP carries some special dingle berry or whatever the bleep that Riss loves in the crepes, I'm not a fan. I've been here specifically and to other locations a fair share of time and I've just got to say that it should be a common rule to know the food at IHOP is at best, mediocre. Drench your burger in ranch, ketchup, salt and even syrup and you may be better off enjoying it than having it plainly the way it comes. Onion rings this plain should just stay onions. It's a sad thing what they turn onions into here. Bland. Never ending lack of flavor. Sad. I can't believe I'm saying this but yes, I believe Dennys has better quality all around; food, service and decor. Being in here at 5pm on a Tues had me thinking it would be nice, quick and easy. On the contrary, the staff ran around with there heads cut off totally forgetting that they sat us and not even taking our order until we'd been there for 10 min. There were two tables full (two people each), in the whole joint and mine was one of them. You should have heard the apology one waitress gave the other table after their pork chops had taken forever to get out. "Sorry sir, it took a long time b/c they were still frozen." My order was wrong, they comped it (as they shoulda) for the part that they messed up. I'm going to be honest and say that I'll probably be here again at some point. It happens and I'm not a person who loves conflict so if someone suggests it when we're out and about at 2am, I'm not going to argue. I'd bring your own seasonings on your next visit. Maybe you'll see me. I'll be pulling out my grinder and spicin' up my own food. Yea, the crazy lady with the spice rack in her pocket. That's me. read more

Simple American food. Good for the location and price for each meal or combo! The staff is friendly, courteous and fast! We don't mind coming back time and again. The remodel looks great! read more

IHOP - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Service is slow. Sucks. Food quality is average. Go elsewhere. Location: Good location on Aurora Ave north in Seattle. Parking: Big parking lot in a strip mall. Service: This is where my cousin and I had a problem. They weren't very busy but we waited quite a while to get seated. Once seated, it took forever to get served. Once served, it took an act of Congress to get a glass of water. Once we were finished, we never saw our bill...but went up to the cash register to pay. Food Quality: A bit on the greasy side and a bit sub-par. Hotties?: None that we saw. Prices: Average Seattle prices. Return?: No. read more

Celebrated a birthday here. Food was ok. Place was redecorated. the big shock came when the bill arrived indicating a side order of mashed potato cost $2.99 and it doesnt come with gravy - that costs an additional $0.79 for a small 2 oz bowl!!! Since when is mashed potato serviced without gravy??? Disappointed that they are trying to nickel-and-dime customers. read more

I cannot in good conscience give this IHOP any more than 2 stars. The location, Oak Tree Village in the North College Park neighborhood of Seattle, is convenient for me. That is one of the only reasons I keep coming back. The food is serviceable, but very flavorless. No matter what I get, I've taken to using tobasco sauce or similar just to taste SOMETHING. I rarely use sauces of any kind, so I guess that says something. I don't know if this is what all IHOPs taste like these days or if it's just this location. I certainly remember IHOP tasting better in the past, but maybe that was just an illusion. The food is okay, though. Not a great bargain for the price but one could certainly make an argument that the lower quality of food is justified by lower prices (when compared to other diners). The main problem is the service. Every time I go hear there is no one greeting customers. I wait for a few minutes before being addressed by a greeter who has no idea whether or I am just arriving or if I'm trying to pay. After being seated there is always a long wait before my order is taken. Pretty much all the employees here, including Management, are not very personable at all. They don't really pay attention and it's a chore to get them to take the order correctly. When I'm finished eating it takes even longer to get someone to bring me the check and a to-go box. I guess this is sort of "fast food" management, try to hustle people in and out and make that dollah dollah bill. But the prices are not fast-food. One could spend half as much on breakfast at McDonald's or Jack in the Box and have similar quality food and service for half the price. IHOP is marginally cheaper than other breakfast diners like Shari's (just down the street on Aurora) or Patty's Eggnest (Crown Hill neighborhood), but the price difference is negligible. In fact, if you have a car I would be hard-pressed to find a reason to eat here. Plenty of other diners with better food very nearby, also plenty of fast-food breakfast that will get the job done at a cheaper price. The only reason I eat here is the close walking distance to where I live and the pitchers of coffee that they serve. In fact, the coffee is one of the bright spots of the IHOP experience. Not a good sign when coffee is the only reason to eat at a restaurant. read more

Instead of flogging myself this Sunday, I decided to partake brunch at the Aurora IHOP, after my favorite breakfast place, Rusty Pelican, had a 40-minute wait. The IHOP's busy, but I get a table after less than 10 minutes. The coffee's quick to come, but after 10 minutes, no server to take my food order. Now, I'd resorted to IHOP, due to a full day of going to Home Depot to buy paint and light fixtures, fixing up the house, cleaning the house, etc. I felt a low blood sugar episode coming on and waiting for 15 minutes to have my food order taken wasn't helping. Finally, I flagged down a manager who yelled at the server, who finally took my food. The food. Buttermilk pancakes with the consistency of wet cardboard (as flavorful too). And whose bright idea it is to put the calorie count beside each and every menu item? A Combo Breakfast is basically my entire day's calorie intake. The oatmeal is the healthiest thing on the menu, but who the hell goes to IHOP for goddamn oatmeal? Although I walked in wanting to eat the biggest thing they had, I ordered the Two x Two x Two (720 calories - the two representing the least number of pounds you'll gain after eating the meal) walked out feeling 10lbs heavier, as unhealthy as lard, and my hunger still not satisfied. The service was the saving grace of the meal. After having his ass chewed off by the manager, No Ass went out of his way to make sure I was taken care of (if he spat in my coffee, I don't wanna know about it). He apologized for his tardiness and was quick to offer any condiments I may need, and seemed very sincere in his apology. It's not easy being a server at the Aurora IHOP and having to serve bitchy low-blood sugar Asian chicks with a house full of chores to accomplish, read more

I like pancakes for breakfast, and can always count on IHOP for the pancake fix. Unfortunately I have experienced poor service at this location on multiple occasions. Parking is ample in the HT Oaktree shopping plaza. It is a convenient location right off of 99. You can even grab some Starbucks next door if you need a prior coffee fix. The food is decent. I almost always get pancakes when I come, and add eggs and sausage or bacon. I tried a lunch salad once which was a mistake, since it was served with old lettuce, little toppings very dull and also expensive. I will stick to the pancakes. The wait times are long. There was one occasion last year we were all stuck in the waiting area for 30-40 minutes on a Saturday morning, even though the dining room was nearly empty. Later we found out it was because the dishwasher broke, they didn't have enough clean dishes to serve us, so they made us wait with no apologies. On another Saturday morning once we got seated, an associate was going around collecting all of the syrups to refill them. But then after we ordered and received our food, not only was there no silverware to eat my pancakes, but there was no syrup anymore either. We had to ask for both items while our food started getting cold. Again, there were no apologies when our items finally came. It is a shame that this keeps happening since this location is convenient for us. But if they keep this up, we'd be better off making the farther commute to Patty's Eggnest, Original Pancake House or even Shari's for a pancake experience worth our precious time and money. read more

It's IHOP, c'mon! They've got breakfast, like 9 pages of their menu devoted to the most important meal of the day. So ordering chicken fried steak for myself and pigs in blankets for the child was easy peasy! The wait for a table not so much, nor was the wait for the server to come to our table and the wait for the food to come up. But hey! It's IHOP, and Denny's is closed. read more

So it could be the edible I ate last night that has me here at this IHOP, chowing down by myself, high as heck!!Trying not to do the happy dance while in my seat while I eat this yummy food. Besides the other people in here might look at me a little funny lol.The service is fast right now. You can tell they got the good crew working. My sever is just sweet as can be! Ok great food great service and now I got to get back to eating this yummy food! read more

Went here today after class with a group of friends. It was not busy. Took 5 mins to get seated. Our server changed 3 times in a matter of 10 mins. All of my friends orders were wrong. My order was even input. I ordered chicken and waffles. So after my friends got their food, I was waiting for mine. Finally got my food...hair all over the syrup dispensers!!! Of course we complained cause our ordered were messed up mine was not even taken and it took an hour to get food to our table! There were only 6 customers in the whole establishment! They comp'd our meal...but service was terrible and the manager on duty at that time said she'd comp our meals and give us comp'd meals for our next visit. We declined and said we would never come back to this establishment again. I will eat at my favorite IHOP in Lakewood or the one near 72nd in Tacoma. read more

Its hard to mess up waffles..and i love waffles with fruit on top..so i get my fix at this ihop..service can be a hit or miss..but the food is always what you expect at a ihop.... I tend to stay away from the non breakfast items...dont look appealing....and for an added bonus, this location is on aurora...and anything can happen outside the windows...and usually does read more

Not THEE best breakfast food, but always tasty in our book! My husband and I usually come Fri-Sun morning, the busiest days I'm sure. We've never waited longer than 10 minutes for seating. One visit the waffles were cooked a bit too long, they came out practically burnt. I'm surprised the young girl who served it thought it was OK to bring out. However our waiter who quickly checked in with us noticed this and brought us a remake. Every time we've come employees are friendly and accommodating and we definitely appreciate the extra miles. 5 star service for sure. read more

This is a regular old IHOP, well maybe it is a little more run down than most but it is isn't bad. The servers were as disgruntled as you'd expect, the manager was perky, the bathroom was missing a mirror, and the food was pretty freaking good. All in all this is just your standard IHOP but with double the floor space. So, come here if you like pancakes. read more

What can I say? It's IHOP. Nothing special, but nothing horrific either. The staff is always super friendly and we usually get seated pretty quickly, even if it's busy. It's our go-to place when we don't want to go too far, but we're really craving breakfast. read more

Came here for a bite to eat before seeing a movie, and I must say, I'm very disappointed! I got the strawberry banana pancakes and they weren't very good; but I ate as much as I could. The pancakes have banana in the batter, which causes the pancakes to be mushy and almost taste undercooked in places! On top, you have more bananas and a strawberry sauce with chunks of strawberry in it. The strawberry sauce wasn't very good, as some of the strawberries tasted like they were going bad! The whipped cream was okay! If I go back to this location, I won't be ordering these pancakes again! I'll probably skip IHOP and find pancakes somewhere else! read more

Slowest IHOP I have ever visited. It wasn't even that busy. Waitress barely came to our table. Don't think I'll return to this IHOP. read more

I came here for breakfast. I ordered hot chocolate and when it came is only half a cup with whip cream on the top. I'm not sure if its free refills but I finished in 2 sips, so I put the cup in the corner of the table, so they can see it if need refills or ordered another one. I ordered the combo eggs, hash brown, bacon with pancake. The meal comes first but waiter said the pancake will take another 5min or so. I finished my meal in 8 min and the pancake it hasn't come. Isn't this place speciality for pancake? So the pancake arrived in 12min. The food was all right but I won't come back to this ihop restaurant. read more

You would think that a place called the International House of Pancakes would get pancakes right. Not so much. I ordered the Swedish Pancakes (they call them Swedish crepes) and they were very bad. Tasted like old grease. Sparse on the lingonberries and the lingonberry butter was a very small dab. They were not good. My husband ordered the Seasonal Fruit Crepes. He thought the crepes tasted like greasy tortillas. My grandson ordered the stuffed French Toast. YUCK! I suppose some people like eating deep-fried food, but this was like eating old doughnuts. All of our food tasted like old grease. My stomach was not pleased. We got a discount for completing their survey on my phone and also are eligible for a free order of pancakes. No thanks. The waitress was one of those who tries too hard. Too loud, very condescending when speaking to our grandson (he is not two), and much too chirpy. When we came in, there weren't many customers but we were seated in the booth directly behind a family with a very large number of children. They were very loud. I don't know why the hostess thought we should be forced to listen to all the noise, but maybe putting all the children in one area makes it easier for them. We did not enjoy our experience at all. read more

I have had great weekend breakfasts here. This location doesn't get as busy as others and is cleaner than many. I love their pancakes, especially the seasonal pumpkin pancakes and harvest grain and nut. Friendly service and 24 hour diner is a winner. read more

The IHop on Capitol Hill is not cool. Seriously, it's not. Once you've taken all that in (I know, it's hard) remember that the IHop on Aurora isn't cool either...but at least it's clean and isn't staffed by assholes. read more

So it's IHOP. I should clarify that I am rating them based on the level you rate all big, low-to-medium priced chains (Denny's, Shari's (that one might not be so big), Shoney's, etc), so please don't think even for a moment that my four-star rating means they're equal to other restaurants I've rated as four-stars. Is this even allowed? Am I bucking the ratings system? W/e. Anyway. This IHOP is right across from where I live, and when I'm too impatient to make anything for myself, which is more often than I care to admit, I sometimes go to IHOP. Since I have a strange, student's schedule, usually when I go there's, like, no one there. Except for, of course, the other old people who are having dinner at three in the afternoon before they go home and go to bed. Except for me that's usually breakfast, not dinner. Anyway, the service has been consistent and the nice server Virgil and I just today had a pleasant chat about our iPods. So concerned was he with the nakedness of mine that he suggested I get a cover in case I should drop it and it sustain considerable damage. My only complaint is that they (a few people every visit) always ask me how everything was. I really shouldn't complain about that, but whenever they ask, I want to be like, 'Well, it's IHOP...what can I say?'. But the service is good and my food has never been FUBAR. read more

Been here a few times now. As other reviewers have said... it's IHOP. The servers are nice enough and I've never had bad food. It's cheap, and filling, and comes out quickly. I've never seen it remotely crowded. Note that this IHOP is *not* 24 hours, like a Denny's. They open at 6am. I cut it close this morning, showing up at 6:30. Don't bother waiting by the door to be seated. It may never happen, despite the signage. Go inside, find a waiter, say hi, and seat yourself. read more
