This was the best IHOP I've ever been to. They perfectly fulfilled the orders of my sister, father, and I and had a great veteran's discount. The food was amazing, pancakes moist. I got a Breakfast sampler and a stack of 5 buttermilk pancakes and they got it perfect the first time, and their service was exceptional. They were nice, fast, and precise! This restaurant earned their 5 stars and $30 tip.

I stopped by with my family for dinner last night, and we had a wonderful experience! 😊🍽️ The food was delicious, freshly prepared, and served hot, while the service was excellent from start to finish. Our server, Kai, is new to the job, but he did an amazing job taking care of us. 👏🌟 Knowing this was his very first job makes his performance even more impressive! Huge kudos to Kai for his great attitude and hard work. Keep it up! We’ll definitely be happy to come back again!

Both food and atmosphere were great, as expected when you walk into a nationally recognized chain restaurant. What truly makes the difference is quality service, and my server this morning, ‘Twin’, was head and shoulders about the rest. Courteous, kind, attentive, and just chatty enough to make breakfast alone truly a pleasurable experience. I’ll be back, purely based on his service.

Came in a few days ago and Kayla Y was my server. Super sweet girl my daughter absolutely loved that she got down to her level and was talking to her to calm her down after my daughter had spilt her water all over the table. Kayla Y is definitely going to be our requested server from now on! Kudos to you Kayla Y

This review should have done weeks ago but life got in the way. But I have to post a 5 star review for this specific location. The manager named Red was extremely awesome. It’s had been so long since I’ve visited an IHOP. I was craving me some cakes. My son who is a picky tried his meal but did not want it. I messed up and thought his kids meal would be free but apparently that’s not till 4pm, and it was 2:30p OOPS! I try my best to get him to try new foods but at home. With a free meal I decided to get a full kids breakfast meal, and if he don’t eat it well no biggie I’m getting for free. But I was so wrong. The manager Red said no problem , my son’s meal is on her and enjoy! She said she has a daughter that is also a picky eater. So she felt my struggles. That was very kind of her to adjust my bill. I will definitely be returning next time I am in the area.

We had 10 ppl for our party and even though our waitress Kayla was busy with a few other tables she still managed to get to us right away. The food was tasty even though we all asked for extra crispy bacon and it wasn’t crispy Kayla made sure to take it back and have it made the right way. The food came out pretty fast too. Just want to say if you have a bigger party make sure to ask for Kayla because she was the best waitress we have ever had!

The strawberry and sweet cream french toast was excellent. Mine came with 2 eggs 2 slices of ham and hash Browns. My husband got the T- bone and eggs with pancakes. He enjoyed every bite. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. Coffee carafe on the table is a must have. I highly recommend.
