Probably one of the worse ihop I have ever tried on a consistent basis. I am not sure if it is only their steak that taste horrible or what. Today, I had the Big Steak Omelet with hash browns and New York Strawberry Cheesecake Pancakes for an extra charge. The steak was horrible and was very chewy. The New York Pancakes were really good though.
Another time, I ordered the Sirloin Steak Tips Dinner because the picture looked really good on the menu. When it came, it still looked good, but the steak was once again...awful. It reminded me of reused and rewashed steak that was cooked again.
Lastly, we have never received "good" service here. Every time we come, the service is pretty bad and we always have to ask for refill on waters or pretty much anything else you need. At best, the service can be okay.
If I could give this place Negative stars I would.
EVERY time I have been there I have had terrible service, overly long wait times (like cmon its Ihop 30 Minutes for eggs and pancakes is asking a lot), and to top it off cold food.
And when complaining to the managers they dont even act surprised about our issues, if you know your producing terrible outcomes for your patrons maybe you should try and fix it.
If you live close to here I would suggest passing it up. If you really want IHOP (which I often do because its really good) Go to the one in Boystown. That location is superb!
I honestly prefer a couple of other locations in the city over this one, but this location is near my pad. Service sort of sucks and the food is just IHOP good.
Honestly if you have $20ish bucks for breakfast, there are a ton of awesome other restaurants in the area that you'll get more bang for your buck. Â
It a no thrills pancake spot like all other IHOP's.
(I wish i can give it NO stars)
This IHOP f@cking sucks donkey d!ck. Avoid at all cost! Worst service ever. Every time they brought our individual meals, they'd f@ck it up and we would have to send it back. The worst part is that we would have to wait another 20 minutes for our less-than-stellar food. Is it so hard not to burn bacon to ashes and add cheese on eggs without taking an eternity? They screwed up our food 3 times. Really, why does it take 20 minutes to get a kid a new batch of burnt over seasoned fries? They topped off the sh!tty service by charging us an extra plate of crap we didn't order. I got a refund. And for the first time ever, I didn't tip. F@ck this place. Anyone liking this place has either been extremely lucky or just delusional. FYI, the manager is a total douche.
Not much has changed since my last visit but they really frosted my ass on this last visit. We had a coupon for a buy one meal and get one free. We ordered two meals and I ordered a soup with my meal. I didn't realize it until later but they used the coupon for a free meal for my freaking soup! WTF!!!!!!!! Soup was not my meal you cheap ass pricks. i wish I would  have paid closer attention when I paid. I guess it serves me right for not paying attention. I will never set foot in here again as there are other IHOPs that will properly honor my coupons! My ass is getting me more frosted as I write this.
Review Source:I've been to IHOP many times and I prefer the one on Lake st in addison, illinois.
Yes, I was drunk when I went here, but still.
Our waitress told my friend to be quiet because she was too loud...its 4am, there is no one there so why you ask?? because she couldn't hear the phone! haha
The service was poor, but with great friends it was a great night.
IHOPs in the city are so bad. This one takes the cake so far. Table sticky from the last patron, service only when requested, cold eggs, and a dish towel fiber in my pancake. IHOPs are a reliable, clean, standard chain in the suburbs, but sticky, tight fitted, overpriced, downright bad greasy spoons in the city.
Review Source:I'm also reviewing this IHOP. Â It's terrible. Â I live a block away, so it would be REALLY wonderful to have a good old fashioned breakfast place sooo close--but my experiences here have been so bad that I will never go back.
The restaurant itself is designed so that you're packed in, and the aisles are so tight, that you can't walk by someone. Â Envision an airplane-style seating. Â
Waiters were abrupt, rude, and un-caring. Â I ordered a "Fruit Salad" cup off of the menu, and was served Fruit Cocktail. Â The pancakes I had were kind of bizarre and stale tasting. Â Finally, when we got the check back, I was *shocked* to see my cup of fruit cocktail was $7?!? Â When I asked the waitress, she said that they were out of cups, so she gave me a bowl. Â So weird. Â And you would think she might have have asked before serving something that would be more than double the price. Â
So done with this place.
I actually did receive a freebie here, but that's mainly because I signed up to their newsletter to get a free breakfast.

I'm not going to review IHOP, I'm going to review this IHOP, and it's a pretty good one. The service was good (I certainly left a tip, despite it being a free meal), and the food was as good as diner food I've had anywhere.
I had eggs, links and hash with toast. Toast was good, links were fine, hash was very nice, eggs were perfectly over easy, just the way I wanted.
Honestly, what more could you ask for from your breakfast place? To be perfectly honest though, I don't think I would pay the money to eat there normally (ie: if I didn't have a free coupon), but it was still a good breakfast.
But that's an issue with IHOP, rather than this IHOP. For the fact that it's open 24/7, I'd pay the premium if I was to go there at 3 in the morning, probably not otherwise.
I saw some interesting specials with Mexican/Hispanic flavor, which I'm curious about, but didn't try. I would try it if I went back. Maybe when I get a free birthday meal.
Anyway, figured the least I could do was leave an honest review. I hope they get reimbursed by corporate for the promotion. But that's what happens when you offer stuff for free.
Guess they'll have to be happy with me simply now knowing where my local IHOP is, since I didn't really before. That's worth $6, isn't it?
The other thing about IHOP is you can probably expect to be seated at a table that's still sticky from the last diners. Â Damn the syrup station docked at the side of the table and improper table wipedowns!
We have gotten enthusiastic service on our last 2 visits from the same waitress though.
OK, I've been here five times. Since I work overnight, myself and 3 other bosses always want to meet up for a late night/early morning breakfast. Since we did not want to go to The Golden Nugget we figured what about Ihop since it is open 24/7. So we started going here.
The first 3 times we all enjoyed our food and went on early Friday mornings. We typically had the same thing; I had the skillet without meat and pancakes. It was good and the other guys enjoyed their steaks and steak omelets. We all enjoyed it and we had one of two waitresses each time that we went. Although Ihop wasn't the best, it was our only option with parking at 3am.
So now the last two times we went were on a different day; Tuesday mornings. The first Tuesday there was this horrible odor when we came in. We sat down and couldn't take the smell and left. This different  waitress was trying to explain to us why the smell was OK. NO, I mean I don't know about you but I can't eat when I am smelling sewage.
So we decided to try it one last time; again on a Tuesday morning.
The second time we walk in and I swear we could still smell that odor but we decided to stay. We all changed up our order and this is no joke but our waitress really smelled. She seemed a bit slow and didn't give us anything that we ordered. 2 of us had to send back our food because it was wrong. I changed what I usually order and ordered a vegetable omelet; it came back with some sauce and when I asked her what this sauce was and what was in it she said "nothing,"...Nothing? I looked at my friends and we were holding in our laughs..how is the sauce going to have nothing in it? Then she says to try it and if I don't like it she will get it remade. I told her it wasn't what I ordered, I ordered a veggie omelet without cheese or any sauce..
Not only were we not happy about our meals and 3 out of four of us having to send it back we weren't happy with our service. I'm not making fun of the woman but not only did she smell she simply didn't get any of our food correct. Everything that she rang up was incorrect.
We just stopped going after the smell and the incompetence of our server. We now go to Meli since it opens at 6 AM and are more than satisfied. I don't think I will be back to this Ihop.
Cheap breakfast and low prices! Â What more could you want?
I've always been a big fan of IHOP so I was so excited when we moved into a new apartment and realized there was an IHOP two blocks away! Â It used to be a 20 minute drive, minimum. Â
Good service that is always quick. Â On the weekend mornings there's always a good number of people in the restaurant and the staff is always very friendly and efficient in getting everyone in and seated. Â
Food is always good and very nicely priced. Â Good for one on a budget. Â You can get eggs, hash browns, bacon and pancakes for $7. Â Yum! Â
We come here fairly often, especially with friends, because it's close, convenient and friendly. Â They even let you split the bill between friends at the register and pay with separate credit cards. Â Now that's convenient!
This place is hit or miss. Â It's crowded no matter when you go, day or night (never, ever, ever even think about going there on a Sunday). Â I've had mixed experiences; sometimes it was really good, sometimes the service was slow and bad. Â I really only come here for the french toast and pancakes, to be honest.
Review Source:This IHOP has decently good food (country fried chicken is actually quite great). Â The failing of this location is the very cramped interior, and general business. Â It is nice that there is a parking lot here, although its always full. Â Service is decent, but the store just has a haphazard feel to it. Â I would say this is one of the avg to below avg IHOP franchises, because I have been to some that were much better. Â Still in the 24 hour world, there are only so many choices. Â Average.
Review Source:WORST IHOP EVER. So bad that it made me break a cardinal rule of computer etiquette and use the CAPS lock.
I've been here more times than I care to remember because it is open 24 hours a day and because my man has an obsessive appetite for pancakes. When I go with the children, they always, always, always seat us right next to the bathroom, which stinks of sugary cleaning fluid and for extra fun, doesn't shut all the way which means bathroom fumes and odors literally are just pouring into the air I am breathing and eating. Disgusting. And, who ever designed and built it did a crappy job because the doorway doesn't line up to even consider the option of a door to the bathroom hallway.
Sitting on the other side of the kitchen (which by the way, how unhygienical is that arrangement?? Anyone can walk by, coughing and sneezing, and impregnate the food with their personal germs) is not much better. It just smells like armpits over there.
The food never fails to give me serious indigestion and once, food poisoning. Hence, the last time I was there will remain forever the very last time I ever go there. The Hollywood Grill is open 24 hours a day, too.
You pretty much know what to expect at IHOP. Â This one is pretty small and is right near my old apartment. Â I only came here because Cozy Corner wasn't open late at night and sometimes you just have to have tomato juice and the kind of food that goes with it. Â Mmmm tomato juice.... Â That said, the service at this location is friendly but sluggish and they sometimes run out of soup.
Review Source:IHOP represents an unholy alliance between breakfast and evil franchise owners. Â This particular IHOP is a prime example of this... Â Bad service, greasy crap served hot (sometimes), yellow-colored water that's supposed to pass as orange juice (but wouldn't make it as Tang), and sticky tables. Â Who wouldn't be rushing to eat here? Â
On the flip side, it's easy to get to - right off the Kennedy. Â And if you're craving pancakes and eggs at 2AM, there are few options - and this is probably the most attractive of the ugly bunch.
This place is ALWAYS open so it's an ideal place to go whenever you crawl out of the bar or club late night. Â I guess this is where all the drunks around town go since there's usually a pretty decide sized crowd in there late. Â It's cheap and it provides the necessary grease you need to coat your stomach against all alcohol you downed.
If you're drunk enough to crave IHOP (or White Castle), you're probably too wasted to even care about how the food tastes. Â But if you're sober, the food isn't that bad for the price either. Â Skillets and pancake are awesome anytime of the day. Â The staff has plenty of experience with late night bums like me so they tend to be nice and also get food in front of me quickly. Â BTW, 4 stars because these guys have corned beef hash - as it turns out, not all IHOPs have it... wierd huh?
