The location was very dirty and when we were seated the table and floor was DISGUSTING. I looked down under the table and there was napkins on the floor with syrup. I informed the waitress and she said "it's syrup, we've been busy". They could've cleaned that up prior to seating us and there's no telling how many other parties sat there previously with that mess. I received my meal and the eggs were undercooked. I explained this to the waiter and the manager offered a 25% discount. Although my pancake and French toast was decent, the food was terrible, I would not go back to this specific establishment. The waitress seemed as if she did not want to be at work and did not appear friendly. Maybe the other locations are better in the area. Good luck. read more

This place looks like shit, the service is okay, the lady that was our waiter did her job nothing I can complain about, but there was stains on the curtains, stains on the walls, my chair sunk in, my apple juice had so much hand print and stains on the glass I had to give it back and get a togo cup instead of a glass cup, my partner water cup also had stains not as many as mine,bathroom looks very yucky needs upgrades EVERYWHERE. The only thing that carried this ihop was the food, we fucked that shit up. Everything else was shit. All in all. I would never go here again, I'm scared to drink anything out of this place, it's stains EVERYWHERE. Ew. Food buss tho hopefully I don't get food poisoning. read more

I prefer my local iHop back home. This one wasnt giving the hospitality we are used to. I asked for the vegan sausage which is new on the menu and I still ended up with pork links. They no longer serve grits. Then I got the ticket and the sausage was still on the tab along with a sweet tea that wasnt sweet. I guess northerners dont know how to "sweet" tea. Haha! read more

Skip this location. Pancakes were terrible! Service was terrible. We had to keep getting up to ask for things: refills, missing order, etc. and no they weren't busy at all, for most of our hour there there was 2 tables. We have eaten at plenty of IHOPS and this one was the worst. They just don't care. Waitress just stood by counter talking to, who I'm guessing, the manager. Tables were also sticky with syrup. read more

My cousin showed the manager, Rossa Flores, the hair on her food. It was not her hair. The manager then went on to tell her that it's only one piece on the top. She saw no hairnets on anyone and the manager said the health department is fine with them not wearing them. This is a blatant lie. This is atrocious behavior. My cousin is one of the sweetest people and is always respectful, but she isn't going to be walked over. Please don't go to this establishment. There are other alternatives. read more

Over capacity during COVID 19 Pandemic!!!!! Online orders- taking payment but NOT fulfilling orders! As a result, horrible service! Don't go here unless you see 1 car in the lot because they cannot handle more than that at a time! And DONT order for pick up or curbside unless you want to wait hours for a pancake! read more

The latina server doesnt look happy taking our orders. While I watched the table behind us while she's taking an order to a family customer who i presumed hispanic as well cause they're speaking spanish. She's really accommodating and smiling. When we're done the server handed over our bill with just a piece of receipt and no bill booklet. And she asked us if we're gonna pay cash or card. And when we said card she told us we have to pay in the front desk if we'll used card, while I saw her taking the card of the other customer and bill it out by herself. We felt racially discriminated because we're not hispanic so we get less accommodation than the hispanic customer. The server should be treating everyone with hospitable attitude no matter country she/he came from. read more

Food was bland, table had a bit of trash on it, there was no salt on anything, coffee was just water, the place was messy and disorganized, there was s table that was just not used even with a massive line. But whatever, it's IHOP and nobody is delusional about the quality of the "restaurant." read more

My family voted to stop here as we drove to Chicago. It was a weekday night w just a few customers present. The establishment was clean. The server was very friendly & attentive. Every persons meal looked just like the pictures or as a TV commercial has you believe! Best of all , it was delicious! PS: if you haven't tried the pumpkin pancakes, you're missing out. Delish! read more

Standard IHOP. Host was friendly, server was attentive and knowledgable! He was able to answer any questions we had from food to mall recommendations and he did so without any sense of frustration. Food was delicious and warm! I wish I could remember his name so I could give him the recognition he deserves! read more

June 28th 2017 I was on my way home with my mother and decided to stop at I hop for lunch. Upon my arrival I was greeted and seated right away. The booth was very clean as was the silverware and glasses. I ordered the breakfast sampler which was just wonderful and arrived about 14 min after I orders. All my food was hot when it got to my table and was as follows; the scrambled eggs were fluffy buttery and delicious, The ham was well done and came apart very easily, my bacon was crispy and crunchy, The sausage links were hot all the way through and tasted very good, and the hash browns were perfect, they were crunchy on the outside and still had soft fully cooked potato on the inside. The Pancakes came on the side and were fluffy, sweet and delicious. I tried the syrup this time before pouring it on my pancakes as I have found some patrons like to pour salt in the syrup at breakfast establishments. I was happily surprised to find all their syrups were salt free and wonderfully sweet. Our waitress Angie was very nice and checked on us frequently, my glass was never empty. The cost was not bad, for my mother and me it was about 22 dollars for the bill add in tip and its not bad for 2 people and it was a good deal of food for the money to. All and all it was a very pleasant experience and I will be glad to stop there again if I'm back in the area. Cleanliness 5 out of 5 Very clean Customer Service 5 out of 5 Friendly and upbeat people Food taste 5 out of 5 wonderfully delicious Cost of food 5 out of 5 good amount for your dollar Wait time 5 out of 5 Fast for dine in restaurant read more

I like this particular ihop and I find the food good & staff friendly & prompt. I never post reviews but I was at the restaurant the day that Sam C (comment below) must have been there. I felt bad for the poor server. She was nice and friendly and was treated very poorly. I will continue to enjoy the food here. read more

Always great service here and great food never had any issues with the food or the servers it's clean they have very friendly staff here. To be honest this is the only ihop me and my family will come to have gone to other places and the food just wasn't good service was so bad read more

Food was excellently cooked and portions even seemed larger and heartier than what I'm use to seeing. The vegetables on the mushroom and spinach omelet were super fresh, eggs, bacon, ham, sausage, fluffy pancakes -- everything we ate was cooked to perfection and they were all very flavorful! I am a frequent IHOP patron in other areas (this is actually my first in this location) and so far it's my favorite in terms of food quality. Service was a little slow and food took awhile to get to us considering it was not busy at all, we even worried they might have forgotten about our table, but when it finally got to us food was very hot and fresh. read more

I don't recommend this place at all. I was there with 3 other people and what we ordered, it wasn't all brought to the table. One of the orders wasn't even brought out like it was supposed to be brought out, it had extra stuff on it that wasn't on the menu. Our waters were dirty and the utensils were dirty as well. We didn't end up drinking anything because our waters were dirty and they didn't have shakes. Not everybody likes Soda. Our server was rude. It was my first time there and it'll be my last for sure. read more

The diner is so small for how overcrowded it gets. I understand thats beyond their control but the seats are ripped up and the bench dividers are loose. Today i witnessed a manager handle a family's complaint smoothly but as soon as she turned around, blamed the waitress and was condescending. The only reason why im giving two stars is because the staff (aside from the manager) is super friendly and the food comes out faster than you'd think when you see how packed it is. read more

I have been coming here regularly for many years. The service and food is always great but the building itself has become intolerable. If it is 70+ degrees outside stay away because it will be HOT inside. An employee told me that the air conditioning only works in part of the building and doesn't do much of anything. They informed me that the owners know about the issue but wont fix it. When I was checking they showed me the thermostat and it was set at 50 but the actual temperature was 85. Meanwhile it was only in the upper 70s outside.I There is nothing desirable about sweating while simply sitting there. I feel bad for the employees sweating while running around doing their jobs. I dont k ow how they do it. As I mentioned, I love this place but seriously it is a sauna. It is dissapointing that I can not go there for a good chunk of the year anymore because otherwise this is a 5 star place to eat. I am hoping it gets fixed but this has been the situation for quite some time and the owners are aware but simply do not care. read more

I will never spend my money at the IHOP on 2662 Belvedere in waukegan. The manager Rosa is very rude and un professional. I am allergic to onions. They never answer the phone for me to inform them of that. Today I ordered for delivery, no one picked up the phone, I called 6 times. So I was forced to drive there to make them aware of the allergy. I was told to take the order how it was or take nothing at all by Rosa who said she was the manager. This is not the first time that I had to deal with her being very rude. I will not patronize this restaurant as long as I have to deal with such poor treatment. This is sad because I love IHOP omelets, and this is the only one in my neighborhood for miles. So no more omelets for me I guess read more

I really like IHOP, but this particular Ihop was very difficult to order from thru the ubereats app. First they didn't have an option that either said "special instructions" or even an option to have "gravy on the side". Not everyone likes gravy just dumped on their country fried steak and eggs. So usually would call when I make my order so that I can tell them right away so that those special instructions are on there for my order. I made my order around 9:20 am and called the restaurant 9:23 am, called and called six times, by the seventh time they answered and I try my best to explain the confusion and the lady tells me "Well you should have called right away after I made my uber eats order and that there is nothing they can do because the order is out already and that i need to call uber eats and the ihop hotline number if i need to express everything" I am very confused IHOP on why I needed to be talk to this way, that the lady said there is nothing she can do when there is something she could do because my order wasnt even picked up and yet and she could still change it. Then I get a message from my driver to tell me he was confused on why the lady even told me that my order left already. I am very disappointed in this because I know how it can get busy as waitress, I worked in this business for over five years and for someone to talk to me like that was high unacceptable, it was to the point that even the uber driver was confused on why she told me that my order left already. read more

My server Anaid H. was very rude while taking our order. I had a bad experience with her before. When it came down to our check she talked back to me and was talking to me like if i was stupid when all i asked was a question regarding my check, just out of curiosity. She then asked me if i was upset in a mocking way..... she then proceeded to mumble as she was walking away. VERY RUDE! Worst service ever. If i had the chance to give her ZERO star i would. read more

I went for a nice breakfast with my family and the service was horrible. Took an half hour to get some pancakes and a chicken sandwich. Then they gave the bill and added a 15% tip to the bill. When asked they responded that they do that with a party more then 5 and that it was because servers wasn't being tipped. Like how dare you want me to pay you more because your staff sucks and isn't making money. Never will I come back here read more

Steer clear of the thieves at this restaurant! We were there visiting my son who is in the Navy and he wanted breakfast here after we picked him up. Everyone ate and left. About 20 minutes later my son realized he set his Citizen Navi-Hawk watch on the table and left it there (this was a gift from us for graduating bootcamp). He called and everyone played dumb like they never saw a thing. Police report has been filed, but I am appalled at the nonchalant attitude of the staff at this restaurant throughout this process. This was an expensive and special watch that someone should have turned in when they found it (employee or customer). read more

I never come this restaurant anymore because it makes me sick for one week after eating. I ordered the grapefruit juice, crepe and house salad with honey mustard. It makes me vomiting and diarrhea. I called the health department and they said maybe I got the Norwalk virus according to my situation. By the way, the restaurant is not clean in eating area and bathroom. read more

I enjoyed very much this place, went to have breakfast with my kids and Alma was my waitress, she was very professional and patient and friendly.. keep up the good work Alma !! my kids love eating there, all crew were friendly and food was served quick. I do recommend going there!! read more

I haven't done many reviews but my last visit was so shockingly bad I felt I had to. For many years I have been coming to this IHOP and have never once had any sort of problem. The food has always been great and the service has always been awesome... until now. There is a woman named Alma who is was so intensely I thought she was joking. Besides us there were only 2 tables in the building so it wasnt like things were backed up because it was busy. We were sat down by Alma and we told her that there was one other person joining us but they will be more than a couple minutes so we would like to get some drinks and appetizers in the mean time She said she would be right back and then disappeared for a good 15 minutes. Eventually she came by and just said, "What do you want?" Not the most welcoming greeting. We told her we would like the Appetizer Sampler and a couple sodas. 20 minutes passed with no drinks or food. She came back and asked us again, "What do you want?" We mentioned we had already ordered drinks and appetizer with her and she then told us that we did not. After about 10 minutes she comes back and with the sodas and asked us, "Is the other person coming or what?" We said yes and as she walked away our friend entered and found their way over to us. She quickly came back and got our friends drink order. I inquired about the appetizer and she told us that if we had come together we would be eating it already as if the 45 minutes she had been doing who knows what was our fault. Baffled we just go ahead and order our meals, still no appetizer. 30 more minutes and she started dropping off our food or at least what should have been our food. She brought a burger that no one ordered, some crepes that were the wrong kind and not a combo and finally chicken omelette that should have been a chicken quesadilla. So not a single order was correct. While it was wrong, the food did look good and we just wanted to eat and knew if we changed it for what we actually wanted it would be another hour we would be waiting so we just told her it was fine she said, "Good" and walked away mumbling something under her breathe that I am sure was something insulting. We ate the food, which was good. No complaints in the tasty department. We sat there clearly showing we were finished and sat... and sat... and sat... I don't know how long but at this point we had been there for going on 3 hours and hadn't recieved anything we ordered except the 2 sodas she wouldn't refill. When she did give us the check. I glanced at it and I saw the appetizer and 3rd drink that we never saw still on the check. I started to ask a question about why those were still on the bill but she didn't care to answer. She just gave us a very strange smile and walked away. We stood up and headed towards the register to pay for what we ate. It would be nice to say "pay for what we ordered" but we didnt order anything we recieved. Once again we we stood at the register wanting to pay but yet again this woman was no where to be found. When she did come up she told us the total and held her open hand out. I asked her if she could remove the items she never brought us. She said she can't just give food away and customers need to pay their bills. Again I repeated we never got the items so we were won't pay for them. She said she tried her best and maybe if we arrived at the same time like "normal people" there wouldn't be a problem and then reached behind her amd grabbed the phone and said if we don't pay she will have no choice but to call the police so are we going to pay and held her hand out again. I asked her to split the check into 2 with the soda and appetizer on one and the rest on another. I handed her my credit card and told her it was for the more expensive one. She ran it and gave me a receipt to sign and pointed to the line that had tip that we can easily leave her a tip on the reciept I promptly put a zero and she made an audible noise of disgust and a serious rolling of the eyes. I wrote down my phone number and if her biss has any questions to please call me. Based on her behavior, lack of reasoning, talking to herself and memory of what was happening around her it is clear she has some form of mental disability. Because of this I recognize I am treading the line of picking on someone with with a disability and being justifiably displeased with my visit. So while I have loved this IHOP for years and years, there is no way I could ever return if this woman still works there. It was simply terrible. To anyone that still plans on eating here, my only advice and I hope everyone listen is to ask if Alma is working and if she is ask to be served by anyone, anyone at all instead of her. I genuinely hope she quits or gets fired so I can comfortably return to an otherwise great place. read more

We came after sending our daughter off to Navy A school after PIR yesterday. Wanted a big breakfast and coffee to soothe our emotions. Selected this place due to location and being an iHop. The host and wait staff are incredibly warm and welcoming. Our waitress was funny but not intrusive, and helped us save money on our orders. The food was solid breakfast fare. The restraunt was packed for a reason, it serves it's community well. Thank you! read more

The experience I had at this IHOP wasn't the greatest. The food came almost an hour after we ordered and was offended we got served in styrofoam cups and mostly everyone else had clear glasses. I never experienced that before. Other than that, the servers were very kind and the food at ihop is amazing! I would recommend going unless you see it's very busy. read more
