Can't believe I have to leave a 4! Food and service was great. Place was clean and not busy at all. Had a senior meal for the price and had quite the surprise to find my iced tea was $5.99!!!!! How can any restaurant charge $6 for a drink? Guess I have to convert to the "free" water - which is not free - they charge $6 to us who want a drink. Need to reduce that price !! read more

IHOP - Soup and meal - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Wallingford, Connecticut

I made an order for curbside pickup at 12. The pickup time was 12:25. Sat in the curbside spot for 35 minutes before deciding to go inside at 1:00 Staff was extremely quiet and rude, only asked for my name for pickup, (which it was a curbside order, NOT pickup, i'm disabled and was not expecting to have to leave my car.) and then told me the price. There was so much tension, and no one seemed like they had any clue as to what they were doing. I tried to pay using apple pay on the website but apparently that did not go through. I had to pay in store. If that needed to be done, why couldn't one of the workers come out and tell me, instead of making me wait pointlessly in my car for 40 minutes? My food is cold now. Not doing that ever again. I wish I had asked for some kind of compensation. I feel very disappointed in them. read more

Im from out of town and stopped here on the way. I have a service dog and presented her ID. It wasn't a CT ID cause I'm from out of town but valid... and the hostess said it was probably fake and from Amazon. She did let me and my family still sit and eat but it was hurtful and incredibly embarrassing. My dog isn't for emotional support she is for disability and is trained to help me when I need her. Very upset. I suggest training your staff to keep their mean comments to themselves. read more

IHop came out with a new thick and fluffy French Toast menu, and it had my name written all over it. They no longer use regular bread, and have replaced it with artisan bread dip in a vanilla cinnamon batter. There are several toppings you could have on it. I chose the Strawberry Banana, glazed strawberries, fresh bananas, powdered sugar and whip cream. My wife chose the Gingersnap Apple that consisted of sliced cinnamon apples, gingersnap cookie crumbles, red currants, and powdered sugar. This came with the apples, and red currant on the side so you can mix how sweet and tart you want it. Cinnamon apples, and red currant paired perfectly. These new breakfast entrées are absolutely delicious. As always service was excellent and the restaurant is extremely clean. I also like that they give you a craft of coffee instead of needing to keep coming back for refills. read more

"I'll have my eggs sunny side up, like your personality!" , I thought as the salty, curt server took our orders! We were a party of 8, and felt like we were in the army... she took our orders like... "what will you have? And you... and you ... " very stiff and regimented. Hey... don't smile... it'll ruin your tough mystique. She did have a good memory though, she got our orders out without a hitch! "Everything good... " glance and walk away... mmmkay... I'm not a fan of chains, especially breakfast spots... this was typically crowded... loud, and dated. But it was pretty clean! The menu is mainly a carb inducing overload of starchy pancakes, French toast and waffles...and yes..: you can have them smothered in just about anything you can imagine!Even rainbow sprinkles and cupcake icing... now, if that won't make you lose your lunch... I don't know what will. And don't worry, they have lots of syrups to choose from if you need an extra sugar boost! They do offer some healthy options like avocado toast on multigrain bread, that looked pretty good! No oatmeal here, nor a selection of teas, but the coffee is decent. The 55+ menu is PLUS, and a kids menu is available! Won't be hopping back here anytime soon... read more

IHOP - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Wallingford, Connecticut

Wallingford IHOP came to the rescue when Newington was so completely mobbed on a late Sunday morning that I'm surprised we're not still sitting there! Was it out of my way? Sure, but I wasn't going to let my free combo offer expire, I can tell you that! Three of us were seated immediately and our server was beyond pleasant. So much so that we overlooked her temporarily forgetting the hot chocolate. She made up for it by squirting half a can of whipped cream on top of a soup bowl-sized mug. Seems like half of central CT had the same idea, so the place was crowded and a bit loud, but we still managed to chow down on pancakes, omelets, biscuits, etc. (and took half of two plates home because we overestimated our hunger). read more

On 11/28/2021, we stopped off at IHOP for a late brunch when coming back to NJ. We entered the restaurant. The hostess greeted us through a plastic opening. She opened a large protective plastic door to let us enter. We were escorted to the table. The server immediately came over with menus. She wore a mask. We were asked if we would like anything to drink. A few minutes later she came back with water and tea. She took our orders. I had two gluten-free pancakes. They were very good. Of course, I had to put butter and little maple syrup on them. Gluten free pancakes were about a dollar extra. My friend enjoyed the Strawberry and Bananas French Toast. The restaurant was very clean. Very good customer service too! I was truly impressed the way IHOP covers all Covid protocol. At this location, my entire experience was very good! read more

I definitely would rate this place a four only because I have not had IHOP since Covid my order was takeout French Toast with strawberry and banana strawberry syrup and their breakfast sausage. It was their fluffy not regular size. The service on the phone was good and I can not speak for the ambiance my friend picked the order read more

Our waitress was friendly and our food came out very quickly! My chocolate chip pancakes were excellent as always! The big steak omelette is very large so most of it came home with me. My husband enjoyed his 2x2x2. We will definitely be back again! read more

My wife and I went to this IHOP and used each of our own individual accounts to redeem our pan coins for curbside pickup. We do know that only 1 pan coin redemption can be made per day per account and also the app does not allow you to redeem 2 pan coin orders in the first place. When we arrived at the curbside and called the restaurant and told the employee we have 2 different pick up order, they stated one was ready and the other was not. We decided to go inside to pick up instead but the same lady that we spoke with over the phone stated that we cannot get 2 pan coin redeemed orders under the same name. I stated it was not under the same name and she turned the bags to look at the names clearly showing 2 different names and said you cannot redeem it because we have the same last name even though it was 2 different accounts and 2 different pan coin redeemed. She then stated that the owner is there and said it was okay this one time and not do it again. We went back to our car and called corporate to confirm this policy of not begin able to pick up 2 pan coin redeemed order from 2 separate account but with same last name and the corporate employee stated that was not a thing and that as long as it was different accounts it was fine. I'm giving 2 stars just because they gave us the food but iHOP, please train your employees on policies. read more

My party and I were rushed and not given enough time to look over the menu. We waited over 45+ minutes to receive our food. The service was terrible and we were never asked if everything was okay or if we needed anything additional. I had to keep asking for stuff and the waitress seemed annoyed. The place also looked messy with signs on pieces of paper all over the restaurant and the kitchen did not look very clean. Needless to say I won't be returning especially after the horrible service. read more

Overall good service and good quality food. Upon entering the store the have a big barricade set up with a sign, banning you from entering any further than the breezeway without employee permission. A "please wait to be seated" sign would suffice. It ruins the experience. The sign feels hostile toward some elements, whether that's people in need of restrooms or what but they should find a more appealing way to design their entry becuz it feels really harsh and mean spirited. read more

Stopped here with my girlfriend on our way back to Jersey because she was feenin for pancakes. Unfortunately her cravings couldn't be satisfied because she found mold on the ice in her water. While the hostess was very understanding, the manager brushed off her concerns without even offering to comp our meal. She questioned my girlfriend's observations right off the bat, and had the audacity to give her ice from another ice machine. If that isn't the most arrogant and inconsiderate way to express her lack of confidence in the cleanliness of the restaurant, then I don't know what is. If you're in the area and need a quick breakfast, take your business elsewhere. read more

I never thought I would feel so positively about a place like IHOP, but here I am. This is my second time around the holidays in 2 years coming to IHOP and the second time in 2 years I've left feeling full, happy, and full of pancakes I actually really enjoyed. I came here in the afternoon with 4 other friends and we were seated right away. The waiter we had was extremely friendly and quick to take orders and provide drinks. Since it was the holidays I was only left with one option as far as the pancakes go and that was THE GRINCH pancakes....yup, they have pancakes themed after the The Grinch who stole Christmas! I honestly don't even think I know what flavour they were or anything like that, but what I do know is that those green grinchy pancakes were full of flavour (I'm still not sure what it was, but man did it taste dang good), it had some whip cream on top, and when the syrup got added, BAM! I had some super tasty pancakes that did my body good. Overall, IHOP is a great place to get pancakes and even though I can't speak for anything else on the menu, I think you should come here for some pancakes. The end. read more

For Veteran's Day they only offered Veterans A Sugar ladened Piece of French Toast with Sugar ladened fruit compote. Many elderly Veterans have Diabetes and/or other Medical Conditions that this kind of food is not appropriate. Consequently, as a Veteran, first time ever, I had to pay $20.00 for a regular eggs, toast, hash brown, 2 strips of bacon breakfast which was a RIPOFF! Last year on Veteran's Day IHOP was wonderful. This year they were completely different for Veteran's Day, and thus, they were terrible! I won't ever go back there for Veteran's Day or on any other occasion.

Clean, friendly iHOP. Can't go wrong with bacon, eggs & hash browns. Friendly wait staff

We were shopping at BJs and wanted to get dinner after we left. Brinner is always a good option, so we stopped in. The hostess was friendly and we were seated quickly. My expectations weren't high, but, you know. Quick food. I sat on the far side and immediately realized there was a problem with the booth. Since there were only two of us, I just scooted further in, but the seat was torn and broken. It wasn't comfortable to sit on at all (see photo). We ordered and or waiter disappeared. We waited and listened to some interesting conversation from the guys behind us. Our food came and mine was ok - an omelette and home fries. My stepdad ordered eggs over easy and a side of pancakes. He tried to spread the margarine but the pancakes were cold. We sent them back with another waitress after waiting more than 5 minutes for ours to be seen anywhere in the dining room. Everything else was ok. We chatted with the waitress for a moment to say thank you because she wasn't servicing our table. I mentioned the hole in the seat and she apologized profusely and I mentioned that I noticed many other booths covered with duct tape. She said management was aware of the problem. Eventually our waiter came back only to give us our check. We told him we sent the pancakes back with a waitress and he said he was sorry and if we needed anything else to let them know. We did let the woman know who was at the register, but overall, a sub par experience, even for an IHOP. read more

We went to this IHOP and they are extremely clean, they follow COVID precautions. Ninfa was our server and she was AMAZING!! Very knowledgeable, friendly most importantly attentive.

I wish I could leave less than one star I went to pick up a to go order and simply asked about condiments in my packaging the woman who has blonde and brown hair was incredibly rude made me feel very uncomfortable I will never return to this location and never recommend it to anybody I feel terrible for the staff that works there this woman is evil and I cannot even believe she's a manager because I asked another staff member to speak to a manager and unfortunately that was the manager disgusted annoyed and will never return save your money or spend it elsewhere Because this place is disrespectful I don't know how she's the manager but she needs to be let go definitely a turn off to business I also recall her talking nasty to some of the staff members unbelievable absolutely unbelievable unprofessional completely disgusted read more

I would usually not even bother to take time to review a chain, especially IHOP...but had a relatively good experience here and figured I would yelp about it. Went on a very busy Sunday around noon--probably THE worst time to go. Was with a group of 10 people and we called ahead after another local diner could not accommodate us. Hostess prepared an area for us prior to our arrival even though there were many other patrons waiting to be seated and they don't take reservations. We waited a brief time upon arrival, before being seated. They revamped their menu since my last visit to any IHOP and there are tons of combo meals and choices. Waitress (Sonia) seemed frazzled at first although later was relaxed and so pleasant. Luckily we asked for splitting of checks as we ordered and she agreed it was easier to do so before submitting our orders as one tab. She was precise and available, as we asked for more coffee, extra pancakes (all you can eat special currently running), napkins, cup of ice, etc. They added a 15% gratuity onto each bill, which actually seemed like less than what we would have tipped on our own. My eggs over easy very a little too "easy" aka almost borderline raw for my liking, but hash brown potatoes were great, bacon was crisp and pancakes were good. We lingered for a bit after paying and staff did not rush us out of there. read more

Always a good time, good food and good energy with the family.. my favorite is monster burger with onion rings, pancakes puts me to sleep.

I totally understand why this location has 3 stars. It literally should get one star. I been to this location years ago and was disgusted at the cleanliness. I was in full view of the kitchen and all you saw on the rug was food, syrup, you name it it was spilled on the floor. Flash forward a few years and now they have new floors around the restaurant and still these people do not believe in mopping or sweeping after each patron. When I was sat at my both I noticed 3 tables full of the previous family garbage, 5 min later still sitting there. No one came to bus the tables. I look under my table there's silverware, sugar packet and just dirt. Didn't we just go through covid. Why are you not cleaning after each client in a timely manner. It doesn't matter if it's a holiday or a regular day these people just don't care about the appearance of the restaurant. Also I received silverware where the napkin wrapped around it was full of strawberry syrup and some other stuff. read more

I don't typically like to eat at chains but I came to this IHop a few years back and tried something I wouldn't have expected from a pancake joint. I now enjoy going there to treat myself with this unexpected dish. What is it? The steak tip dinner. I absolutely love it. I get mashed potatoes and corn with the garlic bread and I think if I could, I'd eat it at least once a week. It's a great dish, not just for a pancake house. I'm a bit surprised at the high cost though. Let's be honest, it's not the best beef tips but they taste good so I'm surprised they're priced as high as they are. I went there recently alone and got my meal with water and with a tip it was about $21. For a single person's lunch, it's a bit much. I'd be happier if it was priced around $14-15 and would probably go more frequently if it was less. Because I love those steak tips, I'll be back...just not as often because of the price. read more

We used to frequent this restaurant often but there was a recent change in management and it's gone severely down hill. Burger and fries were delivered cold and the onion rings weren't cooked through. Instead of paying up at the cashier (which is how we always did it) they force you to pay at the table- not to mention, they walk away with your credit card for quite some time. One bad meal after another so we won't be back. read more

OMG, someone wrote a review on 12/22/19 that was exactly my experience on 12/31/19. The food was COLD. Pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage. I am not familiar with a management change, but if that is correct then the new management gets a grade of "F". I will give the manger on duty a good grade for constantly sweeping the floor. Maybe he should spend more quality time managing his working and paying attention to customers waiting to pay their bills. Who in management had the less than brilliant idea to stop paying at the register and pay the server instead. Has anyone seen my server??? She speed by my table, never paying attention to our to our table. Then disappears behind the kitchen wall again. It took far too long to get my check. Probably because she never revisited my table after our food was delivered. I waited 20 minutes to get my bill paid via charge card. Where did she go after I gave her my charge card? Who manages a business like this? It will be a long time before I ever go back to this IHOP. Cracker Barrel, here I come. read more

Went to I Hops for a late breakfast as my husband had doc appointment there in Wallingford. Worst breakfast I ever had. Waited 25 min. for the waitress to bring us our pot of coffee. It was horrible cold and black as tar and tasted burnt..Called waitress back asked for another pot and told her about the awful coffee she had given us. And she said that's why ur coffee was late coming to you. I was waiting for a fresh pot. Well she should of come over to us and told us that Instead of letting us wait 25 min for a cold lousy tasting pot.. the pancakes should be free everyday of the year as they were tough as leather. The eggs were ok.. read more

Honestly I love the food here! Every weekend this place is hoppin' (no pun intended)! But seriously this place gets so packed every weekend its nuts! I have been to this new location quite a few times and it def. is better mid-week dinnertime when no one is around. I feel that the food is pretty self explanatory and hard to screw up. The only issue is the service and the nasty hostesses! At lest 3 times that we have gone there someone has been served on a plate that looks like it was already used or served coffee in a mug that had a nasty jelly fingerprint on it from who knows where! I totally get that when there are 75 bugger faced toddlers running around things get a little hectic, but the service seems to take a hit as a result. The hostesses that greet you at the door all have like 30 lbs of nasty bronzer on (you would swear they rolled in the dirt before clocking in!!!) a few times have seemed more than useless/clueless, and have continuously failed to show some good personal hygiene habits. Maybe it's because I hate seeing people bite their nails and sneeze right in their hands and then handle my food or maybe its because I work at a hospital and see some of the nastiest shit ever that...who knows?! Either way I would def. suggest IHOP to anyone in the area, but just don't go on the weekend! read more

Alright so, it's IHOP. I haven't been to an IHOP in years but we didn't feel much like driving around this morning. We were on our way for a hike and it was 1130 already. This location is pretty busy however, we found a spot upfront. We did have to wait as there were 5 parties ahead of us but maybe 5 minutes tops. The hostess was VERY friendly - strangely friendly for an IHOP. Matter of fact now that I think about it, our waitress was super friendly too. Coffee was strong. Not the best but do-able. We both ordered the 2x2x2. Eggs, sausage or bacon, pancakes. Pancakes were good. Sausage was decent. Eggs were pretty good. For $20, you can't complain. Decent service and food. Much better than I remember IHOP being. A good standby if you don't feel like trying anything new. read more

IHOP in its day was awesome....good food, reasonable prices, fast service. Apparently, no more. I've had more than a few bad experiences at IHOP over the past few years, but this was the worst. The staff is very disorganized, had to wait a significant amount of time just to ask for a table, and then we were not allowed to wait using the lobby seats...reason? Covid...but wait, this is October 2022....even the White House has declared the pandemic is over...we have had both shots and two boosters...get with it IHOP! Anyway, we were told to wait in the car and we would be called...we waited 15 minutes, no call, and then drove down the road to the Colony Diner and was seated immediately...never going to any IHOP again...done...hey corporate, youre going out of business just like Howatd Johnsons and soon Denny's...good move guys! Oh, and this IHOP location gave us pause beforehand due to the unclean environment and seedy people there...not good overall...avoid at all costs in my opinion... read more
