My cousins and I came here for breakfast one morning, while on a family trip to SC. We were staying across the street at one of the hotels and wanted something different from the mundane dialy breakfast buffet and boxed eggs. There were five of us in total, three adults and two kiddos. They sat us immediately upon entering which was great we didn't have a long wait despite there being a lot of diners. Our server was awesome and not just because she shared my daughter's name, Dani. She was very sweet and attentive, especially to the children. Considering that we weren't visiting under the best circumstances, she offered a nice reprieve from the somber mood. It had been a long time since I've had IHOP but I did enjoy my pancake sandos. They were essentially, four pancakes, made into two sandwiches, with eggs, cheese and turkey sausages. A little drizzle of syrup made the meal perfect. read more

Terrible service. The wait time was ridiculously long, yet somehow customers who ordered after me got their food before I did. Then after waiting all that time, they still couldn't get my order right. I had to keep dealing with mistakes, and even something as simple as asking for lemons with my water was ignored. If you're going to make customers wait that long, the least you can do is make sure the food is correct and basic requests are handled. The whole experience was frustrating, unorganized, and unacceptable. I definitely won't be in a rush to come back. Cheese not even melted in the hashbrowns like i asked. Still waiting on my other batch of crepes. Bananas look old. Sincerely , a disabled veteran. read more

Horrible service took forever to get our order taken took forever to get our food delivered waitress rarely came to check on us daughter was hungry and starting to get impatient waiting for her food to come. I will never go back waffle maker was not working read more

Me and my boyfriend ordered from this IHOP this morning and we got the have it all breakfast. He got Tres leches pancakes and I got the New York cheesecake, pancake substitutes. My order was the classic breakfast combo. And we also got another breakfast con go with toast with no pancakes. It was absolutely disgusting. Usually it's very good in store and they never disappoint, but whenever you order out it always disappoints the portions were super small compared to the ones you get in store. The food was cold, and they didn't even give the toppings to my New York cheesecake pancakes. Everything tasted like it was premade and two days old. Compared to whenever you are in the store and it taste very fresh. Also, we got the hot cocoa and my boyfriend poured his out because it tasted very chalky and he looked at the bottom of it and this was at the bottom absolutely disgusting. I recommend going inside and eating because the people are very nice and food is usually very fresh, but DO NOT order to go!!!! read more

The better question here is what else could they possibly screw up? We get there and I ordered crates to come back out. They don't have any crates. Then I asked for waffle they don't have waffles. I ended up getting pancakes. I couldn't eat them because they had such a file taste to them and my husband ordered bacon and looked to sell. Someone walked all over it then he ordered sausage instead, and there was two pieces of shrimp it up daily sausage I've been sitting in the fridge to be microwaved. It was just such a horrible situation. They ran out of Scott and crew. It was so dark. They didn't even look like they were open. I guess the lights were low so you couldn't see the food needless to say we'll never be back! My husband and I made a bet within six months they're closed in fact from the street. They look closed. It was so dark inside. Don't risk it. Stay at home. read more

They served me tea with chunks floating in it and didn't seem concerned. The avocado was yellow and rock hard. Maybe only go here for pancakes and bring your own drink. read more

I'm giving it 2 stars because the food was actually pretty good! But we waited over an hour for our food and it wasn't even that busy. The ceiling was dripping water onto our table. It's the 2nd time I've been here and both times I waited forever for the food. I don't think I'd return to this location. read more

The IHOP in Broad Street in Sumter has gone down. The cooks do not wear hair protection, and the staff uniforms needs to be squared away. I hope they take my advise, it's a decent plane to eat in Sumter when I visit. read more

Went yesterday for breakfast and never got any food. We were seated around noon. Waitress was sweet. Took our order pretty quickly. We received our orange juices shortly after. We started looking around and noticed the kitchen seemed to have a lot of confusion. Orders were sitting at the window and not picked up or seemed confused about who it belonged to. We noticed people getting their food who came in 30 minutes after us. We asked about it and she said it should be coming out soon. Another 30 minutes went by and she came back and apologized. She said there's just so many tickets today. I don't know when it'll come out. And we just asked for the check for our drinks because we were there a little over an hour at that point. It also didn't help that towards the end we heard people in the kitchen yelling stop cross contaminating. That made me also just not want to eat there. Bathroom was dirty. I saw a bug in the dining area towards the end. It was just a bad experience. read more

Food arrived quickly and we got free extra, our server Olivia was amazing, friendly, and communicated great, excellent service, she was lovely, highly recommend! Environment was nice, and was comfortable, would come again read more

The food was cold. The waitresses were all outside talking people were waiting for their food. The manager in charge was very loud, dressed in street clothes R tied on her head, using cursive language why you got customers in the building complaining about the customers is rude. the service was lousy, the food was cold. I will never return to this IHOP. read more

Terrible service. Orders were wrong. Food was good until we found broken class in the syrup containers that landed on our pancake. We actually never received our new batch of pancakes after. Service took forever but server Cassandra was quick on her feet to chase us outside over a mobile app pay not going thru. Worst I hop I've been to. Don't recommend. just head to Waffle House or anywhere else. read more

This IHOP is starting to show its wear. Been here for a few years but they get loads of business especially on the weekend - so they must be doing something right. I typically get the breakfast sampler here and at every other IHOP because they are almost always the same no matter where you are. Great place for breakfast no matter the time of day. Onion rings are a perfect side for any meal-even pancake ones! read more

Don't go here unless you want food poisoning as someone who's pregnant definitely not good the ceilings had mold and were leaking the staff was super slow had to wait over 30 minutes for drinks the waitress wasn't attentive at all mind you there was only like 3 other people eating there definitely won't be going again read more

This place looks deserted. I wandered around for 15 minutes saying "hello" but no one was home. The register was open and the fire alarm door was propped open. Sumter has to be one of the worst cultures of people I've seen when it comes to work ethic. The store is dirty. Who knows if the food is good because you can't get assistance. The employees are probably out back smoking or playing on tiktok. Don't come here ever. Fire the employees and start over. read more

Terrible service. Had to wait an hour before getting our food, which arrived cold. DM was there and did nothing to rectify the problem.

4 stars because the kitchen can be a little slow. I've been multiple times & the staff is great, just wish they could get their kitchen a little faster to match the waiting staff. read more

The ihop location in Sumter sc does not pay employees. And customers wonder why customer service and the food is trash. Management isn't ever on time but expect employees to be on time. I've been waiting two weeks for my checks when ihop gets paid every week. As of October 24,2023 I am now missing three checks. I've called the labor board and they can't get in contact with management. I've just called ihop to see if my check was there and management isn't there. Truthfully this ihop should be shutdown cause it has no organization or direction to make the company better. Especially if they are not paying employees who have work hard for and took time out they day to come work for a company who doesn't care for their employees read more

Zack was our server and he was very outgoing and polite. He had a vibe that really made dinner fun! Very good energy. The tables are a tad sticky, but I mean, all you can eat pancakes is going on so that's pretty much expected. The service here was excellent and I'd eat here again if I come through Sumter for any reason. Food was amazing also! P.S. Zack should be the new face of IHOP read more

IHOP - This is Zack - American Near Me - Sumter, South Carolina

The sign on the door says they're open 24 seven, they are not open 24 seven. I will never set foot in an IHOP again. This is the fourth or fifth time I've tried to go to this IHOP at between 4 and 6 AM and they are closed. IHOP needs to fix the sign to say what their actual hours are. The server said they close the kitchen at 4 AM and don't open until they're ready. If you're trying to plan a trip and are planning to eat at a specific time at a specific place, do not plan on going to this IHOP. I do not recommend trying to eat here. Waffle House is right down the street and they are great! read more

Had a great breakfast with my 5year old son today. Thank you for showing support for Veterans with the free pancakes! We also had some biscuits and gravy that hit the spot. Karrie took great care of us! read more

at this point I'm done with them lol. I had a complaint about them messing up my food, they told me I can't get a remake. Corporate AND the GM Chris called me and said I could get the remake and I just called and they just told me no again. at this point it isn't even about the food, it's the unprofessionalism and miscommunication. I shouldn't be on here writing yet another review in how horrible this chains operation and customer service is. over money I spent. and truthfully I counted it as a loss until they did that again. I spoke to Krystal and she was very unprofessional too. read more

This place isn't open 24 hours went there at 4 am was told they not serving just cleaning up. Was told open at 6 am went back at 6:15 still not serving breakfast read more

2 stars because the food is cooked well. 2 stars because: how do you forget eggs AND bacon in an order with the signature combo? Literally took so long we ordered the food to go, then had to stand at the to go counter for 15 minutes until someone could figure out how to cash us out. Unbelievable waste of time and money considering we didn't even get half of one entree. read more

Gotta give props where they're due and this location gets a high five from me.I was up in Sumpter riding out hurricane Mathew over the weekend. In the aftermath of Saturday morning, most places were closed down and we lost power at our hotel. Some businesses were closed up for the storm and others were doing their best to operate under the conditions... some without even having power. Needless to say, things were hectic and everyone was looking for food and provisions. Was the food anything special... no, it was IHOP. I knew exactly what to expect. What surprised me was that even though we got in fairly early and they got so busy that they had to stop seating tables to let the kitchen catch up, they all powered through and did so with a smile on their faces. I was impressed for sure. read more

Was there today, Sunday morning, 6/23. Restaurant was half full at 9:00. Maybe some folks were out of town? Service by Phyllis was good. Rise and Shine--two eggs scrambled, hash browns, white toast, and bacon. Also had coffee and ice water. Total all in with $2 tip was $10.34. I think that's very fair for what I got. read more

The service is really bad but good food they just are bad at the service but I like this place

The service is absolutely terrible. I've been twice to give them a chance. The food orders are ALWAYS wrong. They take hours to give you food that isn't even correct and hours to find a solution. They don't even try to make up for your wasted time and money. The WORST IHOP I've ever been to. The manager ignored our table while sitting to talk to someone she knew for over 20 minutes. Heard her yelling at her staff from our tables and we were seated right by the doors to leave. Not professional at all. They gave one other table a discount and the one guy the Manger was friends with a free meal. read more

I have been to and reviewed other IHOP restaurants and have found them mostly consistent as far as the food goes. The staff was pleasant and helpful and the server (I forgot her name, sorry nice lady!) attentive. The only thing I can say was a downer was another patron at the next table. No matter what, she was not happy. Then she would turn to whoever would listen and make comments. I think they ended up comping her meal which I think was her real goal. I gave a bigger tip to the server for having to suffer through that! But other than that, which was no fault of the restaurant, it was a pleasant eating experience. read more

The new menu at I Hop is way out of line. Prices are so much higher for same quality than it was before they re opened. No senior menu anymore. These are beach or Charleston prices. read more

Been to this place twice and each time service was terrible. There was no sense of urgency and we had to wait a long time for someone to take our orders, refill our drinks and bring the check. The food however was delicious....thank goodness the cook is good! If I come back it's because of the cook! read more
