IHOP

I can’t believe I willingly went to a chain. I have to say though it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Yes it was sticky, and yes the staff wasn’t all that great, but the food tasted fresh.
I got the strawberry and banana French Toast. Fluffy and cooked perfectly. Came with 4 full pieces. My fiancé got the standard breakfast sampler and he said it wasn’t bad but wasn’t excellent.
This place was packed but we were seated right away and our food came out fast. We weren’t given a «promotion» menu however which included the double dipped French toast that I had to ask about because the photo on the window looked so good. After dropping our food off our waitress never checked on us.
Prices average $ 9.99.
Every table has blueberry, strawberry, butter pecan, and old fashioned syrups. Sticky but expected.
You pay at the register.

Visited yesterday morning for breakfast and it left a lot to be desired. We were thankful for the short wait for our table but that was literally the only highlight of the visit. Our waitress came, took our order and we literally didn’t see her until she dropped the check where she muttered «sorry, I’ve been busy». Oh, yeah? That’s great since I was trying to flag you down for butter and ended up so hungry that I devoured dry pancakes (I don’t eat syrup). My nieces mac and cheese came out cold, we had to wait for more water, napkins… the whole thing was a mess. They have food runners and small stations so there was no excuse for us being neglected the way we were.
Only the second time I’ve visited an IHOP in my life and now I know why.

The hours posted online for this IHOP location said 7am to 11pm. We got there shortly after 7am, the doors were locked. The hours on the glass 7am — 10pm. There were employees inside IHOP who saw us and moved behind the wall to continue rolling silverware rather than unlock the doors for paying customers. It’s okay, we took our business elsewhere!

I know it’s gross that I love this unhealthy chain so much, but their pancakes are just ON POINT. Always. And I can get breakfast for dinner, which to me, trumps breakfast for breakfast.
It’s cheap, and the turnover at this location is quick. They keep it cold in there, probably to discourage lounging, but that means you get seated and satiated much faster than the line would lead you to believe. They don’t often mess up the orders here, it’s pretty clean, and there’s plenty of parking.
Bonus points for fresh blueberries in the pancakes and fresh, not frozen, spinach usage. Everything’s a tad greasy, but what do you expect? For what it is, this place is the tits.

I usually eat at the IHOP located in Hicksville but for some reason it closed and I would like to know why? So we decided to take a ride ended up at the bayshore location. this IHOP is huge and very well maintained. the place was very busy but the wait time was like 15 minutes. Once seated waitress came over within minutes and took our order and was served in a timely fashion. we were in and out un under 1;30. best of all it was all good, but what makes this location stand out from all the other IHOPs, they have their act together and customer service was great! So Kudos! for this IHOP keep up the great work.

I normally do not write reviews of chain restaurants but after my most recent meal at IHOP I feel compelled to.
The pot roast melt sandwich is gone. Nowhere to be found — not even hidden away on the back page.
What could have been the best non breakfast food IHOP served is now just a memory. (I still remember my golf foursome declaring it the best sandwich ever.)
The world has become a darker place for me.

I find it so strange how I could have such a drastically different experience at Ihop depending on the location. Me and my significant other go to an ihop once every other week before we go to work and we decided to try this location because it was a bit closer to work. It was awful, once we were seated and ordered our drinks,
It took an insane amount of time to receive our drinks by the time our waitress got them to our table, we were ready to order and when I told her that we were ready, she said «hold up» and walked away to go talk to another staff member. She proceeded to SIT DOWN at a table in the back and chat with that staff member for no less then 7 solid minutes. Maybe it was her last day working there or maybe she was just an awful waitress but after staring at her laughing with her co-​worker for 7 minutes while i was starving and just wanted to eat, me and my partner did something i’ve NEVER done we got up and left and drove all the way to the next breakfast place we could find. Maybe other staff members aren’t so bad, maybe she’s no longer working there but I can’t bring myself to ever return to this location. I was livid.

I’m a fan. This location is large, open airy and clean. The employees are friendly and very accomodating. This is one of the few IHOPs that can handle large groups. After you eat your cheap and starchy brunch, you can walk it off at the Westfield Mall which it’s attached to.

Worst IHOP location I have ever visited. Now, I have NEVER written a Unilocal review, which I really should because we have a lot of positive experiences at other restaurants. I just had to sign up for Unilocal this time because this is the 5^th, yes 5^th time in a row that we have had an absolutely horrible experience at an IHOP. The wait staff is rude, slow, and inattentive. The food is more times than not completely incorrect. Even the first approach when you arrive just to take a drink order takes an excessively long time. I have never had any of these issues at the other locations, this one is just horrendous. We finally found another one that is a bit out of our way and smaller, but the service is worlds better. Will never return to Bay Shore if I can help it. The manager of the Bay Shore location would do himself a favor if he would eliminate most of his current staff and screen potential employees better. Then again, the way I heard one of his wait staff speaking to him while we were there yesterday says it all. They run the show, not him. Do yourself a favor, find another location and stay out of this disaster of a restaurant.

Came here on a Sunday afternoon… guess we hit the church crowd. The place was packed. We didn’t have to wait too long for a table, or for the server to great us, which was positive. What wasn’t positive was our server’s attitude. Her eyes rolled more times than I could count, and she had a few snide remarks thrown in to her pitch. She was fairly efficient. The food took forever, but that obviously wasn’t her fault.
The new Whole Wheat Blueberry Nut Pankcakes were really delicious. They’re from the «healthy» selection, so are lower in calories, but they actually were very enjoyable. The Garden Crepes, although tasting delicious were over 1100 calories, so I mean really… unless you’re planning on being a complete fatass, they’re really not worth it. It’s both a blessing and a curse that the calories are listed for every single food item on this menu.
This IHOP is attached to the mall, but can be accessed from the parking lot. You will fight mall traffic, and on the weekends probably have to wait.

Cleanest, largest (after their renovation) ihop you will ever go to!
