Still great for an inexpensive, yummy breakfast. It's fall season, so they have several pumpkin options. I just always go with the 55+ Breakfast Sampler - hard to beat and I can't ever make up my mind, so I get a little bit of everything. The service is always fast and friendly. Make sure you download the app to earn your Pan Coins. You just need to scan the barcode on your receipt. Also - one thing that has changed, and surprised me, is that they no longer serve Gluten Free Pancakes or Waffles. I was bummed about that, as I can be gluten sensitive and try to avoid regular pancakes. It sounds like the franchise as a whole just wasn't getting enough demand for them to keep up the cost of stocking the ingredients - it's a nationwide change. Not a lot of options locally for GF pancakes now. Their regular ones are delicious though - light and fluffy. read more

Can't go wrong with iHop and this place is nice and clean, with very friendly staff. There are great breakfast specials for the 55+ crowd too (I'm not sure if all iHops do this). Can't wait to come back! read more

We were in the area for another appointment and neede d a good breakfast so we stopped here for a good meal. We came in ata about 8 AM and it appeared that a shift change was occurring while some servers were leaving, others were coming in and it was not too long for our waitress to show up at our table and askedif we wanted coffee or other beverage. Ordering coffee brought a little individual pot of coffee and two cups and creamer .we ordered off of the senior menus and off she went to get the kitchen working. In a short period of time, our break was delivered to us and all was good. The pancakes were two in number and fluffy, wj]hole the eggs were cooked perfectly and meats were cooked to order. We probably will return, since it was a perfect tome to get a great breakfast as long as you are over 55. read more

We were greeted by a male host who addressed our outside drinks (which hasn't been an issue for us before at this same location, we were going to get food and more drinks from this establishment as well) in a sarcastic and dismissive way. He pointed to a sign about the policy that was tucked away and not clearly visible. We understand rules, but the tone and approach were unprofessional. A respectful explanation would have gone a long way. He truly seemed to be annoyed by working there... read more

We walked out. We had been told by a previous server about the red white and blue special for veterans. We went there today to eat it. The waiter said he couldn't find it in the system and the manager who came to us said that it is only for November. We ask for a different manager. She said it was only for Veterans Day. The main points are, one why are they putting this out in September? Two there is not a single word on the paper at the table about a date of any kind. We asked the manager if she would work with us or if we should walk out. We walked out. Terrible customer service at this place! read more

Meagan the server was great she was full of energy and fun. The food was really good and fast and the restaurant was really clean which is always a bonus! read more

Given the poor quality of the food, the missing item, and the massive inconvenience of the pickup process, I was not at all pleased with this experience. I will not be going back to this location. read more

Food was good but the service was OUTSTANDING! Ask for Donna! She is super busy with tables inside and out but made us feel like we were her ONLY customers! We will be back...just to have great service on a busy Saturday am! read more

Came here late weekday morning to celebrate my birthday with free pancakes only to be told they don't do that and haven't for some time... hmmm, that contradicts their website. Our server was friendly, attentive, but not overly intrusive - just what we wanted. A bit disappointed, but I'm sure we'll be back at some time... read more

We had breakfast at this IHOP in the Villages for the first time ever. Our server Paul was fantastic, he was friendly, attentive and very fast. We appreciate the senior discount as well. Great job, the food was amazingly delicious! My wife doesn't look like a senior at all but Paul didn't even ask her for her ID. Highly recommend read more

Can't go wrong with IHOP. Their $6 Senior breakfast specials are great and affordable. Our Friday morning group enjoys getting together and socializing. Hopefully, NO surcharge for eggs will be made read more

we were welcomed by a rude hostess, Casey. our party hadn't full arrived yet and she told us she couldn't seat us until the whole party arrived. We asked for the bigger booth so that when our party did arrive, we might have room to all sit at the same table. she refused, even though there were three booths available. She sat my family at two small tables separate then proceeded to give a couple of two a booth for six people. She gave our waitress Joan all the big groups and argued with her on the floor. Casey is very unprofessional and seemed to have issues with the waitresses. read more

This was absolutely horrendous. The server was not attentive at all. We had to ask for basic things like our straws. The server had an attitude as well and wasn't polite when asking for our orders. Our biggest disappointment was the over 30 minute wait for our dishes to be served. During this time our server never stopped to update us on how soon we would get our food. Even worse, the food was cold by the time it was served to us. We are extremely disappointed with the service here especially since we love IHOP. Would not return. read more

It's been a long time since I visited IHOP. Normally poor service keeps me away. That is not the case here. Service was excellent, food needs a little help. My omelette was overcooked with all the ingredients in the middle. Pancakes were undercooked. read more

I came to this location about 5 years ago. They had dirty Capet that stunk like cat urine. Since then!! I am happy to report I can back and the place has been remodeled. It it clean , and is very nicely laid out!! I was greeted by a helpful waiter who took awesome care of me. I ordered a burger and a Tea. I came to may table fast. Then had to get a pancake. All my food was great!! Everything cooked perfectly. I highly recommend this IHOP. Far exceeds what my past experience was. Great job guys. I will be back soon with my family. read more

Donna is the best waitress we've ever had anywhere! we eat at this ihop location every week after golf and love their food and service. We always ask to be seated in Donnas area as she makes our visit great! She is fast, courteous and always greets us we a genuinely kind smile! read more

Pros: Restaurant was very clean, well maintained. Wait staff was masked, most menus were disposable. We were seated fairly quickly. Comfortable seating and generous size tables. Service was friendly and fairly attentive. Kitchen was efficient, prepared our meals quickly. Food was cooked fairly well, presentation was nice. Restaurant uses real butter. Portion sizes were moderate Prices were moderate, reasonable for The Villages. Several menu specials available, especially for light appetite choices. Limited children's menu available. A limited menu for seniors available. Cons: Restaurant was very cold, causing meals to cool off quickly. Most foods were salty, including the pancakes. No real syrup available, only packets of flavored corn syrup and chemicals. Traditional ingredients were missing from some entrees (e.g., no peppers available for Philly cheesesteak.) Restaurant is understaffed, leading to long shifts (12 hours plus) for some workers. Though restaurant had few customers, it was noisy due to having few soft surfaces to absorb sound. read more

Carmella is amazing! So friendly, so professional and such an asset to this community. If every restaurant in The Villages had an employee like her, they would be lucky! We go to IHOP now more than ever because she is there. Carmella is on top of everything! Before she was at this location, it was a nightmare like most places in The Villages. Since she transferred here from Orlando, this place runs smooth. You walk in to a smile, knowledgeable friendly fast service. She will treat you like family. She takes the time to know her customers. IHOP to lucky to have such a professional knowledgeable and friendly employee. Thank You Carmella for all your hard work and kind ways! read more

I'll start by saying the hostess was a sheer delight!! Very warm greeting when we walked in. Our server, who I STILL don't know her name was not attentive AT ALL! We had to ask for simple things, including napkins. Never once did she "stand" at our table. She would drop things off "in passing." Our food was cold and a few things incorrect. We asked to speak to a manager and were told by another manager that "our server was a manager who was standing in." I'm truly disappointed in the entire experience. read more

Very good burger!! The egg was not overcooked and broke on the burger (delish). Potato pancake and bacon were crispy. read more

I walked in, no line, Ben at register shuffling papers, never made eye contact & walked away without saying anything. Then an older woman wearing a blue shirt (Manager? Barb? Her name badge wasn't legible) came to the register & again wouldn't make eye contact to a customer that has been standing there. I  kept staring at her & she finally said someone would be with me.  I'm still standing there & she finally said to follow her & Ben would help me...  (Great) Then I overheard Ben tell her he couldn't take another table,  she asked who was working that section & he said no one... So now I'm waiting again... Ben finally reluctantly showed up to take my order. The food came out in a timely manner & was delicious. There are severe customer service issues at this restaurant.  (See my previous review) They don't seem to know the basics of the hospitality industry. You should always acknowledge a customer,  don't pretend you don't see them when they're literally standing in front of you. read more

We come out for a family lunch where everyone can find something they'll appreciate. Some had breakfast. Some did salad and others went with sandwiches. I don't know if previous reviewers were in a bad mood when they came in or if they truly had a bad experience. We saw no evidence of poor food, poor service nor a lack of cleanliness. We were quickly seated, efficiently and courteously served in a pleasant atmosphere. Our table was clean with none of the sticky edges that can be common in pancake and waffle spots. Our drinks were quickly delivered and order patiently taken. Our food was brought to us quickly -still as piping hot as if it just left the grill. Portions are plentiful. Altogether a positive experience. Is it fine dining? No, but no one in their right mind enters a chain restaurant looking for gourmet meals. Buon Apetito! read more

Worst omelets I have ever ordered at IHOP; it contained 98% eggs and 2% meat. The absolute worst omelette ever! And the waitresses seek out confrontation with the customer. It doesn't matter if you disagree with the costumers opinion on the food (appearance & taste). Your job is to fix whatever the issue the customer is having. Not tell them there wrong. Hint: customer service / hospitality staff fix customer issues and not make more. read more

Waiting for over an hour for our food. Not the waiter's fault but over an hour. Waiter did his best but service times terrible

Had a fantastic breakfast today. We did the early morning special. Had delicious eggs over easy fresh biscuit that were out of this world and amazing coffee. Been here a year and this will be our go to breakfast restaurant. So happy. Randy our server was super friendly and very accommodating. Love everything... read more

The service is quite friendly however the food.... awful. We ordered a turkey and stuffing dinner. They forgot to add the stuffing and the quality of the food is poor. This is our second attempt at The Villages IHOP, and there was no change from our first experience. I suggest going to Metro Dinner or Bob Evans. To add to my very negative review of yesterday, my wife got food poisoning from what we can only deduce was the salad. We came to this conclusion because we ate the same things yesterday except for the dinner salad at ihop. As I said before..... PLEASE GO ELSEWHERE. read more
