IHOP

The worst I’ve had at a IHOP.
My wife and I decided to eat at IHOP Saturday evening, since the last time it was brilliant a year ago. We tried something different. My wife orders the philly cheese steak sandwich and I decided to try the chicken and waffles. We ordered some cheese sticks as a starter. The waitresses were friendly and respectfully should be commended. Here comes the food. My wife’s cheese steak just starts to fall apart the bread was soaked in grease, I placed my finger on top of it and grease was just running down my finger. My chicken and waffles was appalling. The waffles was at below room temperature the butter would not even melt or even spread. I took the lumps of butter and placed them in a dish that the cheese stick was in. The chicken was not even warm. The taste was something you would obtain from a microwave meal. We flushed the taste out with the ice tea. One of the waitresses asked us if we wanted a box, we kindly declined. We arrived home and just hope we would not feel unwell after eating there. Happy to say we made it passed the night. This was not just distasteful, it was disgusting. This is not the standards that other IHOP restaurants have, they uphold higher standards. I am unsure what happened to this one, but it is not the same quality as it once had a year ago.

Got the st. patricks day $ 1 pancake stack, and the waitress was very kind and a little lacking on the attentive side but overall the service was great.
The pancake sizes varied a lot but it was a dollar so we won’t complain about that. But the taste and service was there so I’m giving it a four star

Not a good experience. Our problem was with service. Party of 4. Two ordered teas one water and other ordered coffee. Zero refills on water and tea even after asking waitress… she was in the kitchen when I asked for more drinks. But that was the last time we saw her until check time. Complained to manager, but he didn’t seem too interested. Waitress brought our check and told us she was very busy. Folks… she was only managing two tables. Oh yeah and the manager was too chicken to check us out. He made the waitress do it. Sheesh.

the ihop was terrible tonite. 3 servers on staff. 8 tables were being served by one male while the other two girls were either hiding in the kitchen talking or out front talking to friends who stopped by. the male server was doing his best to keep up. but there were 8 other tables still dirty with old dishes. where’s the night manager?

Service was good food took a while but the place was crowded, food came out hot and order accurate.

My experience was a lot better than others here. It may have to do with the fact that we were the only ones there at 11pm. I ordered the California scrambled which is very delish. I would stay away from the iced coffee. I had to get that replaced as it was nasty but my waitress did so without issue.

We had a birthday brunch here and it was the worst. My eggs had a hair in it. Two of the other plates had moldy bacon. The service was awful. It took us 40 minutes to get seated and another 30
To get served. I’m calling the health inspector on Monday.

Two words: moldy bacon.
When I go to IHOP, I start with pretty low expectations. I could have forgiven the thirty minutes we sat at our table waiting for our orders to be taken. I could have forgiven the fact that we ran out of coffee and never got more. I could have forgiven the fact that I ordered all you can eat pancakes, but never had a chance to order more than the two (tiny) ones that were brought out with my eggs because our server was inattentive. I could have forgiven the thirty minutes we waited to get our check. I could have forgiven the long wait to pay because the cashier was at least ninety years old. I could even have forgiven the three-​inch hair in one of my tablemate’s food. But I can’t forgive the moldy bacon.

Have you ever been to a place where all of a sudden you get this gut feeling (pun intended) to turn around, yet you still stay.
Humans, some of us are vulnerable & just too darn nice to walk away from something.
I don’t know man. I just don’t know. What I DO know is that this particular IHOP was the worst disappointment of my life. I mean, my 5 year old can probably season a Tilapia better than the nastiness I had here.
Sorry God! I don’t mean to be ungrateful & I understand that there are thousands of people out there who can’t even afford the luxury of eating food. But a woman can complain at times right.
To cut it straight. Our family of 5, including two kids stopped by for some good old IHOPness. Yes I just made that word up. Deal with it.
Anyway, us «grown ups» got the «Tilapia Florentine» & one of the kiddos ordered the «Happy Face Pancake». We also ordered «Mozzarella Sticks» to eat while our orders arrived.
The sticks were just the perfect amount of gooey & crunchy, no doubt about that. But, the marinara was flippin cold. Like the take out of the fridge equal to the current Texan weather, 40 degrees anyone? Cold.
Our fish was lacking flavor big time. I had to sprinkle salt & pepper on the side to make that fish edible. I have had Tilapia Florentine from IHOP a couple of times, so I know that it actually does have a lot of flavor.
The spinach & Alfredo sauce under the fish was just blah & cold. You could just mix some cracked black pepper with craft glue & serve it saying it was Alfredo & I wouldn’t have known the difference. The mashed potatoes had literally NO flavor. The Garlic Bread was oily just like all other IHOPs.
Now the best part. My child’s Pancakes. She didn’t eat even half of them. But, knowing her I thought, she is probably already full, so as usual we will be taking the leftovers home.
I don’t know what got into this Mommy that she decided to take a bite from the Pancakes.
«Hold on, what just happened.
Let’s take another bite.
Holy Shit!
The Pancakes are undercooked.
What the hell just happened?»
It’s IHOP. International Fudge cake House of Pancakes. The person in the kitchen sure has to know how to cook the Pancakes atleast. But no, while we are screwing up the rest of the food. Let’s just screw up the Pancakes too.
I don’t know man. I don’t know. Or maybe I do.
An extra star, only because the Holiday Décor here is absolutely on point & the «person» in the kitchen was nice enough to add extra spinach in my plate & still giving me the Garlic Toast as well. Yup, I had asked our server to skip the toast if possible & give me extra spinach instead.
Now, while I am on way back to Houston. Nervous because my stomach feels queasy. If you happen to read this review & are planning to grace this particular location with your presence.
Then Run!
Run like your stomach & taste buds depend on it.

The 5 stars are just for the Turkey and Avocado Bennie. The brioche was warm and buttery and the white cheddar was certainly the cherry on top. It was perfect. Pancakes were pretty good too.

The food is great for the location! Just not enough servers and food is not out as fast as expected.

For the area definitely a great place to have breakfast at. We were driving on Interstate 10 towards Florida nothing around and we found this IHOP which was awesome the servers were prepared food was prepared quick and we were in and out rather quickly. Definitely your typical IHOP food nothing different!

The good: The service and food were better than expected considering the other Unilocal reviews. Tamatha was prompt and very attentive.
The bad: This location was out of certain supplies (bananas and milk) and had an emergency door that was in need of obvious repair (the door did not even have a sign that it was out of order).
The ugly: We were sat a dirty table with syrup and other goodies on the seats. The bathrooms were not entirely nasty but do need some attention (soap pumps broken as well as paper towel dispenser).
All in all this is a typical IHOP. Do not pass this one up, it is the only one in between El Paso and San Antonio on I-​10.

I ended up walking out after 40 minutes of waiting on the food… It’s a ridiculous wait time. Cancelled my order and left.

I almost always enjoy the food at IHOP but always find it to be very overpriced. This visit was no exception. My smoked sausage and egg plate was over $ 9.00 for two pieces of sausage two eggs hash browns and two pancakes. Their food cost should be incredibly low. The service was mediocre at best as the server was un knowledgeable about the menu.

I have never had a bad experience at any IHOP until I went to this location. Poor service, filthy men’s restroom and a manager who doesn’t appear to care.

We had the best service at IHOP today. We were greeted with smiles upon arrival and seated really fast. Our waiter was very attentive and helpful and we never had an empty cup. Our food came out with good timing and it was exactly what we ordered. We would highly recommend anyone looking for a great dining experience to visit this location.

The pancakes and sausage were good, just not anything special… after all, IHOP is a chain restaurant. And the pancakes were lukewarm… the butter wouldn’t fully melt.
Friendly service though.

The service and food was good. I could have done without the butter on my toasted sandwich and our server took a little bit of time to greet us but overall it was a tasty meal and the service was adequate. While we do not frequent IHOPs or similar type diners, we would eat at this particular location again.

Been here twice while visiting my girlfriend, and both times the service was exceptional. Wait staff is friendly and makes you feel at home, helps in the event things are lost (forgot my Bluetooth second time there, they found it, kept it safe, and made sure it got back to me).
Food is average, but at midnight, I’d argue that such is above par. Can’t remember her name, but the short skinny waitress with dark hair is absolutely amazing. (Our first time there was her first night, and she went above and beyond with service).
Second time, again, can’t remember her name, but again the service was fantastic… went out if her way to make my guests’ orders perfect (and they’re picky people).
