This place is pretty solid for breakfast the waffles are realy good and the bacons pretty good too, the only reason I'm not doing a 5 star is because the eggs were pretty gross and soggy but otherwise this place is pretty good read more

Service is good at past midnight, there was a crowd and people were just enjoying their meals. It's rather slow service . The food is slightly better than average. read more

Once again IHOP knocked it out of the park. A group of 10 of us gathered for breakfast on 10/07/2025 for a surprise birthday party for my boyfriend and to celebrate 4 others. I stopped in the day before to let them know a group would be coming in. They took great care of setting us up. Makayla was our server. Did did a great job handling a party of 10 by herself. The only slight issue was getting our food out together. That happens with a large group often. Makayla kept a good eye on us and made sure we had everything we needed. The staff, including the wonderful, the gentleman who keeps the tables clean, lead everyone in singing happy birthday. He is such a wonderful addition to the staff. And to be honest the staff at this location sing better than any other restaurant around. Our group has been extremely pleased with the staff and food at the Fordham Dr. Location that everyone wants to come back for dinner. Thank y'all for taking such good care of us. read more

Food was delicious ordered the chicken fajita omelette, side of bacon, and my daughter got the crepes. Had to wait a bit for our waiter as he was helping another table but someone else came over to get us drinks which helped with the wait. The place seemed decently clean and loved that they had tables indicated by a sign as to which ones were clean. read more

I ordered my steak and eggs and I can clearly see that my steak was boiled, disgusting. I will no longer by a steak from ihop smh

Last week, we decided to try IHOP. We got there and it was a mess. They were mostly concerned with all the To-Go orders. Several servers passed our table without asking us if we were helped yet. We even stopped someone and she said our server should be right over. After 35 mins, finally we stopped a girl and she helped us with a smile. She apologized for our wait. Her name was Shiny. She half a really great attitude and we gave her a good tip. When my husband asked about what was going on, the manager said that a couple of servers just decided to leave. This gave me bad flashbacks of another restaurant that doesn't know how to manage the kitchen for Dining In vs. To-Go orders. Unfortunately, I don't think we will.be returning for a long while. read more

Burgers are pretty decent, service is on point every time I have visited. Overall worth the money.

This was honestly the best experience I've had at IHOP! Susie is such a gem and I love seeing her whenever I come in! She has such an infectious smile and her stories are amazing!! The food came out in such a timely manner even though it was packed. I truly think this experience was the best yet! read more

Typical Ihop. I've come here twice on a slow night with a large party and a couple of times on a busy day with groups of three-five. There's definitely a difference in service from morning shift and night. In the mornings, it's very fast paced. Servers are friendly and unbeat. And it's a classic ihop experience. At night--it's not a Waffle House vibe, but it's getting there. Aside from that service is often slow and understaffed for large groups, so just be prepared to wait long periods in between drink orders, meal orders, and actually getting your meal. They're often less attentive on drink refills. I will say that the last time I went with a large group, the server was quick about splitting checks and getting everyone cashed out. They do have specials constantly running. Monday is military appreciation--50% off Tuesday is customer appreciation--buy one entree get one free. Wednesday is Senior appreciation--50%off Thursday is student/faculty 50% off Friday is all you can eat pancakes $6.99 My go-to meals are the sirloin tip and eggs or the stuffed peach crepe special if it's running. read more

We have been to this IHOP location a couple of times now, and we plan to continue returning when we want a simple, easy, affordable restaurant for our family that has a menu with a little of bit of something for everyone! Last night was no exception in regards to service and quality. We stopped in on our way home from the zoo with our toddler, our pre-teen daughter and her two friends. We have a total of six people in our party, and they walked us to the back section and made sure we had plenty of space for everyone. Our server was timely, attentive, and so, so friendly. She got our order 100% correct, refilled our drinks, and even knew the menu well enough to make suggestions on how to get the better "deal" for what the kids wanted. At one point, the kids were singing "Baby Shark" to our toddler to cheer her up (she was getting grumpy because it was late) and as they sang, one of the servers joined in singing and dancing, making for an uproarious good time! I appreciate their their restrooms are very clean, they're extremely patient with my children (who are of varying ages), their food is consistent and tasty (and always prepared as asked), and there are no surprises on the bill! I did not grow up eating at IHOP and, frankly, I was never a fan of them before we visited this location to try their 2x2x2 special a little while back... my expectations have been exceeded and we now very much enjoy bringing out family here. We really enjoyed that the eggs were all prepared exactly like we asked (kind of a tough thing when you've got six people), our food was hot and delicious, and our service was amazing!!! See you again soon, IHOP at Kemps River! read more

Service is always friendly but food is awful. Cooks need training. Cold grits, burnt sunny side eggs, shoe leather bacon. And bathrooms are disgusting. read more

This morning it wasn't to congested in here , however it was sort of warm (muggy) inside. We did not have a wait which was lovely especially on Mothers Day!. Our food was brought to us quickly and served hot . Our waitress was fabulous not once did we have to ask for a refill. She was prompt, and professional about her job. So iHop we give you at this location a big thumbs up! read more

It's an IHOP, probably very similar to every other IHOP in the country. Nothing special here, my eggs were undercooked, the red potatoes were not red potatoes but those little fried potatoes (home fries or whatever) that look like they came out of a freezer bag. My waitress was nice, forgetful & loudly talking across the restaurant to patrons & staff, but she was nice. Considering the time of my visit & how empty it was, I really was surprised that my meal ticket took as long as it did to come out & that the eggs were still undercooked & super runny. I ordered over medium, these eggs look like they may have spent 30 seconds on each side of a lukewarm grill. The coffee carafe was decent enough that I didn't need to overly doctor it with cream & sugar. Well heck, at least the pancakes were good!! Oh, as with most places I checkout in Virginia, the hot sauce selection was found to be lacking. They offer Cholula, Tabasco or Texas Pete. At least they had Cholula, but I'm a Tapatío guy. read more

My girlfriend and I have made a point to visit this IHOP on numerous occasions. The food is wonderful, the prices more than reasonable, the establishment immaculate, and the staff friendly and engaging. However, our visit on December 26, 2021, exceeded even that. We had the pleasure of having Shelly as our server. she is, without question, the finest we have had the pleasure to meet. She is friendly, helpful, attentive, and a consummate professional. We didn't feel so much like customers as members of her family that Sunday morning. Neither one of us can say enough about her. She would cause us to return. She would motivate us to invest in whatever business endeavor she would undertake. IHOP is most fortunate to count this wonderful person as one of their associates. Well, done, IHOP. Well done! read more

Took my son and his girlfriend out for breakfast. This visit was very pleasant and all kudos goes to our server. We were seated right away. Our server, Mike was awesome from the moment we were seated. He even asked which booth we wanted to sit at. We all had ordered coffee to drink and Mike bought them out with regular creamer. He overheard us talking about how we liked flavored creamers with our coffee and he brought us French vanilla and Hazelnut creamer. Brittanie ordered the steak omelette with pancakes. Tony ordered French toast with a side of hash browns, bacon and eggs. I ordered the Belgian waffle with eggs and bacon. We all enjoyed our breakfast. Mike was very attentive and made sure we had our coffee filled and he brought us extra napkins. Lastly, he gave us coffee to go! It was nice and hot. Great service! read more

I came here on a pure chance. Luckily, the full parking lot did not mean I couldn't get a seat very easily for one person. Nonetheless, I was very upset I was not included in their "birthday brigade" part of the celebratory nature for dining. My birthday is one week away. Obviously when my order came up, they didn't see that it was my birthday coming up! They are obviously DISCRIMINATORY who receives birthday recognition. Clearly I was left out when I told them my birthday was when week away but they didn't want to start a celebratory brigade for me. read more

We normally go to the Landstown location when we dine in and love it. However, when we DoorDash, it comes from this location. We used to order every weekend and really enjoyed the Bacon Temptation omelettes. When done right, the bacon should be perfectly cooked and crumbly. We stopped ordering a couple of months ago because of poor quality. The bacon was either really undercooked or really overcooked and the omelettes were tough. We could at least count on the toast and pancakes being good. This happened three times in a row, so we stopped ordering. We decided to give it another try today, and it was definitely a bad decision. Let me start by saying that I know for a fact it wasn't our Dasher as the food was delivered quickly. I knew it was bad as soon as we unpacked the bag. The omelettes were really small, the bacon was undercooked and in big chunks and just overall not very aesthetically pleasing. We tried to eat around the bacon only to find the rest of the omelette rubbery and tough. Well, at least we have the toast and pancakes, right? NO. They both tasted old. The toast was not burnt by any means, but it was brittle. And there is no way the pancakes were cooked to order. They were cold and dry. This was the worst food we have ever had from any IHOP EVER, and we will never order takeout or dine there again. read more

The food here tasted great but it just sucks that the server never came back especially since they were offering endless pancakes. They can't really be endless if you only receive one plate of them and the server doesn't return for almost an hour. By that time you just wanna get the check and leave. Great tactic but seems like false advertising. I was tempted to get up to fill up my own drink but didn't wanna get in trouble . read more

I haven't been to IHOP in forever! I'm so glad my experience went well...First, we were seated right away with a big party (8). Bonus points! Then, I was blown away by all the different pancake flavors! I ended up going for the Big Steak Omelette and a side of regular pancakes. Portions were large and everything tasted great! My daughter ordered the funny face pancake and when it came out, it was shaped like Mickey Mouse! I don't know if all locations do this, but my girl's eyes lit up and she was beaming! It was shaped as a regular pancake with 2 silver dollar pancake ears! It definitely made her want to eat more of it too! :) Last, the servers were super nice. I especially liked one of the guys bussing tables. At first, I thought it was a manager because he came by and asked us how our meal was. Then, he said that he'd love to take some of our plates away so we could relax and just enjoy our conversation! I thought...wow, how polite! This is a great location to visit if you're an ihop fan! read more

After some late night adventuring, we had a hungry and Taco Bell's "fourth meal" wasn't going to cut it. We hit the 'HOP for nibbles arriving at 11:30 PM. With an armed security guard in the lobby (big chrome 9mm on his hip and two extra mags), I expected a certain rowdiness and I was not disappointed. Three very "happy" gals at the next table seemed to forget that they were out in public. Whatevs, this isn't Ruth's Chris. We tolerated it. Patricia did a great job taking care of our table, recommending a few changes to our orders to save us a few bucks. Of course, everything we saved went into a bigger tip for her. Eggs over medium still had runny whites. Dry toast still had melted butter on it. But the turkey bacon was good and the pancakes were of course good. But the service was good and so we'll round up to "Yay, I'm a fan." read more

The food came out quick and it was delicious but the customer service wasn't so good my waiter looks like she hates her job and also she was very rude overall the food is good it just the service that needs improvement read more

So why 3 stars since this chain is a guaranteed crap shoot? Well, because of all the memories that were made here. There's a smoking section, which was crucial when I was a smoker. I mean come on, a cigarette after a big breakfast was phenomenal...PHENOMENAL. We all know what they serve here. At this particular establishment, their pancakes seemed lighter. Although I haven't been to enough IHOPs in Va Beach to pose a more accurate hypothesis. And I'm so thankful for that. This was the place were Dinio threw up as he walked out of the place. I immediately mentioned to the passers-by not to order anything with eggs. Those people looked horrified! It was so hilarious! He didn't yack because of the food of course. He was incredibly hammered. I was very surprised he held it in when he was face down at the table. You had me at hello... read more

Went there at 2am. Shiney is awesome. Service is smiling great and awesome. Food is good. Prices are great.

My boyfriend and I are first responders; it's very rare that him and I have one day off together. To celebrate the new year, him and I went to IHOP for breakfast. Our server, Shelly, seemed a little stress; however, she was very kind and patient with us. We noticed she was all over the restaurant and didn't seem like she had a designated section. You couldn't tell she was stressed out. Towards the end of our meal, she dropped off our check. Thank you, Shelly, for your kind words and great service. And to everyone: be kind to servers. After all. they're human too. read more

This IHOP is open during a Virginia Beach blizzard. It was one of the only restaurants open in the area. For that they deserve some serious credit. Service was good and with a smile. But, the French toast was just not good. I ordered it with strawberries and bananas, and what came out was soft French toast absolutely saturated in that nasty, super sweet strawberry sauce. It was like eating french toast that's been soaked in a pool of strawberry Kool-Aid. read more

This IHOP has the best pancakes hands down. I also love the omelets. The chef knows what he / she is doing, I haven't been disappointed yet in my years of coming here. The waitstaff are all nice too, attentive and friendly. It never takes long to be seated even when they are crowded. There is also a guy who buses the tables who is always singing and I love that, always brightens my day. This is the best iHOP in Hampton Roads in my opinion and my family and I have tried several. read more

We ordered food online and chose curbside pick up after waiting half an hour for our order outside we decided to go inside and realize that it was just sitting on the counter. The food was cold and leaking into itself. We had it remade at the end of the day, and it was just an overall horrible and disgusting experience . read more

We did not eat in. We called in a pick up order. When I went to pick it up there was no wait. Returned home to enjoy what I had ordered which was an omelette. It was so good I forgot to take a photo of it. If you like omelettes this would be a great place to come. Front greeter/cashier was very friendly. read more

Thursday's college night; buy one entree get the other half (50) off. Gotta love that. We had the mozzarella sticks for an app. Nice and crunchy; yum. The marinara was flavorful as well, very nice seasoning. I had the chicken fried steak breakfast. I substituted some dry wheat toast instead of the pancakes. It was awesome. I enjoyed every bit of it. Nice atmosphere. Nice and clean. The wait staff is friendly as well. Didn't have any problems this time. It definitely was a win. read more

I would say this is your classic IHOP experience. We did have a large party, and it was late, but service was slow. Our waiter was very nice though and made the experience better. Good service really does matter when other things are lacking. The food was good too, I mean it's IHOP. read more

We initially went to the one in landstown we sat there for 25 min at the table as the servers past by us saying we weren't there table so we ended up leaving there and coming here. Came here friendly service we already knew what we wanted from waiting at the other location , but the food was good and service was great thank you read more

The place was almost empty when we arrived, so we were seated right away. When waitress brought our order, it was all wrong so we had to repeat 3 time before my husband's order came right. My omelette and my daughter's pancakes was good though. Tables needs to be cleaned better, so dirty and sticky. I don't think we'll ever return to this location. read more

Visited a lot before the pandemic and still pickup food all the time here. It's always hot and delicious. Anytime something wasn't perfect, it was corrected immediately. Staff is very friendly. Will continue to visit this place as long as they keep there high standard! read more

Best Burgers...who knew? I went inside and placed my order for a burger and onion rings. I loved the burger because it was large, juicy and perfectly cooked. The server was extremely helpful telling me about the specials. I believe he said his name is Ricardo. I'm so sorry that I didn't right it down because he deserves an honorable mention. He confirmed my vehicle was the one in front and offered to bring it to my vehicle...their policy during the pandemic. I asked for extra pickles and he remembered. I'd recommend this location highly. I'd had a crepe from here years ago with chicken, cheese and mushrooms so I thought I'd get it again...didn't see it on the menu but that burger was so good that I didn't miss it. I plan to return and appreciate the fact that they have their phone number on the door in case you wish to call your order in as well. I plan to return soon and often. read more
