Ryan was super attentive and one of the friendliest servers I have had at a restaurant. I could tell that they had him working more tables than usual and he was still on top of everything :)

It had a really good family vibe and I enjoyed the food a lot.

The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the bathroom was dirty. For a IHOP the food was good, hot when they served it, waiter was great, and I'd go back. The neighborhood isn't the greatest but all in all it was a good experience

Food and service were good. Except I don't think it's appropriate when someone in the party is using a walker to sit us in a booth.
