Wow, had to walk out today. Extremely, friendly staff, but damn. If you have time to kill this is the place. Shit bring a board game, monopoly. You might get through a few games before your food gets there. Took the kids there after karate and it took 40 minutes to get drinks. After we reached about an hour and 15 minutes, no food. We left, we didn't have a board game with us. read more

The waitress was very nice and hardworking. The food was beyond awful. My husbands sausage was actually a ballpark frank, my tea water was lukewarm. And the pancakes sotepid the butter wouldn't melt. They can do better. read more

Let me start by saying we give everywhere and everyone the benefit of doubt. They have 3 hosts everytime my husband and I come here to eat and never once have we been addressed when walking in. We have to talk to them to get any kind of conversation going to even write our names down, forget about asking how long it will be because none of them ever know and they all just stand there when they could be doing literally anything else to help out. They don't smile. One of them is NOT polite. The last time while here we place a Togo order, waited 45 minutes and they forgot items and everything else just looked sad. Not worth the time or money. Currently it took us 25 minutes to be sat which isn't terrible for a Sunday. We ordered our drinks and food at the same time to minimize wait. We then waited another 15 minutes to even get our drinks and at that they forgot one of the drinks. Food is okay, nothing special. We're just disappointed everytime we come here, so this will be the last. I don't know if they just need more staff or better staff honestly. They definitely need new hosts! read more

DoorDash order. Hash browns were under-cooked, toast was only toasted on one side, side order of fruit was missing. Bzzzzzzt.

The meals we order looked nothing like the meau display.Really bad advertising. I asked for extra pickles on my chicken sandwich got two only. And two slivers of onions. No sauces came on the chicken sandwiches or the jalapeno sandwiches just a small dab of mayonnaise size of a nickel. The staff is really nice can't take that away from establishment. Come on you got to take love in the food you prepared for other people especially in these times read more

The waiting bench at the entrance had a big hole. At least put some duck tape on it. It was downhill from there. I guess the waitress was annoyed because we moved to a booth. She pressured us to order quickly. No problem, but the food was mostly horrible. The pancakes were bland and not fluffy. I asked for a cup of minestrone soup. Her response was "I don't know if we have any". We asked if they had any sugar-free syrup. Her response was "I'll look for it if I find it I'll get some". When the food came there was no silverware to eat it with. The fries were horrible I should have returned them. I asked what happened to the cup of soup. She said there wasn't any. I would've chosen the chicken noodle, but I passed. The fries were old and dry. My wife said the chicken strips were OK. This was the IHOP in Alamogordo N.M, Horrible. read more

There were some small issues with the food, but Adam was our server and he was great! There were 13 of us, so a fairly large party, but he was very attentive and patient making sure we were taken care of. Two stars because of the issues with the food, but Adam was wonderful! read more

I've never walked out of a restaurant before, this place was as close as it's ever gotten. We were sat with three other tables already sat. Waited for almost an hour before we receieved the first portion of our food, which was the wrong order. Watched two other tables get there food before us, including one who walked out for receiving the wrong drinks and food order and loudly proclaimed they were going to mcdonalds. There were many members of the kitchen staff walking to and from the front desk, who looked like they were in a daze. I could let a lot go if it was slammed with a single server and line cook but there was a decent amount of staff. I've lived in a lot of places, large cities small towns and been all over this country and have never before experienced this level of ineptitude before. In fairness the manager did comp the meal after my wife complained but it's hard to look past all the happened. If you are looking for breakfast in Alamogordo go anywhere else! read more

We stopped in about 4:30pm, very clean, quick hostessing, drinks right away. Waitress was very good, kind with smile always. We all ordered and had great food. Bathrooms were spotless. Very reasonable prices. I would try again. read more

IHOP - Dirty glass with residue around it. - American Near Me - Alamogordo, New Mexico

I got the cheeseburger omelet. It was mediocre and bland and then I found a hair in it. The waitress, who was very sweet, apologized profusely and took it back to be remade and comped it. I was almost finished with the remade one when I found a huge black pubic looking hair at the bottom of it. I'm fairly sure some cook put it there deliberately because I complained or else that kitchen is filthy. I thought I was going to throw up. The service was great so I still tipped but never going back here!!! read more

I rather give no stars. The staff is rude when approached because no one never once came to our table at 20 minutes of being sat. SEVERAL staff members walked by and not one "noticed" our table being without even water. Don't go here. Shame on you and your piss poor "service". read more

Terrible service. Nice people, but LONG wait for food. We are trying to get a quick bite to go visit the white sands, but this is not the place to do! Over 30 minutes to get our food and there's still empty tables. Don't stop here. read more

The waitress just didn't give a damn about our order. She forgot things and basically looked like she was taking orders from prison inmates. My son ordered the silver 5 and the scrambled eggs were more closely related to an egg pancake, they were dry and flat. read more

Food is usually pretty decent, but the overall service is always terrible! The staff can be nice, but as a whole I suspect they are seriously understaffed. Terrible. Do not recommend. read more

Disappointing: The first thing was they were out of ice, NOTHING (jam, syrup, etc) for diabetics, very slow seating, even with available tables, and had to wait for someone to show up at cashier. Overall it was a very poorly run establishment. Positive note, waitress did try to make ammends. read more

I have lived in this town for about 2.5 years now, and up until about 3 months ago, we would get great service here. Now, all of a sudden, hands down probably the worst service I've ever gotten. The waitress was completely inattentive to my family and I. We waited for the check for over 30 mins after we finished our meal in a dining room with maybe 10 people total in it. The order was wrong on top of that. It's very disappointing because this was one of our favorite spots to eat at, but now we don't even want to go because it's not an enjoyable experience. Get it together IHOP. read more

This is the 3rd time I've had the worst service possible at this location. The wait staff ignores you even when it's not busy. The wait staff needs some serious training on customer service. I honestly do not understand how this place stays in business. read more

My husband and I have been to many IHOP's across states... and this one kinda surprised me. The building was immaculate, very clean and modern as if it had just been renovated but the customer service was terrible. From the time we got in to the time we left customers were waiting for a hostess just standing in the entry way because no one was paying them attention (even though it wasn't packed). Additionally, our waitress kind of rushed our order, didn't have much personality and seemed frustrated. The gentleman next to our booth had been sitting for over 30 minutes before anyone asked him if he'd been helped. He was a veteran and came alone for coffee and pancakes. We thought that was just inconsiderate. Onto the food, the food was mediocre. Our coffee was lukewarm and our eggs were "mushy" felt like they'd been microwaved. Not sure if this was a one time deal as we had not been here before but, we certainly won't be back. That was enough for us. Hope someone else has a better experience. read more

Food was OK. The caramel hot-chocolate was amazing! My husband ordered an iced mocha, which didn't have have chocolate in it and tasted like horchata. The restaurant was clean and nice, and the staff friendly. read more

Worst IHOP experience ever . We got the slowest service . A sandwich with just the fillet . All the orders were not even warm . And it was not even busy . The first time I realized I had to check reviews even for a IHOP . Avoid it if you don't to waste your time and money . read more

I have eaten here 3 times since the opening. One time it was very forgettable. The other two I enjoyed some what. They pretty much use Alamogordo water, which imo is an unforgivable offense. The staff was friendly and fairly quick. Not a bad breakfast joint. read more

My husband and I ate breakfast this morning (7/8/13) at the IHOP in Alamogordo, New Mexico. PROS: The waitress was attentive without being overbearing. The restaurant was clean and inviting. The women's restroom was also clean. CONS: We ordered the chicken fajita omelet and harvest grain pancakes. We asked that there be NO onions in the omelet and understood that there would be some onions in the salsa IHOP places on top of the omelet. When we received our food there were onions in the omelet and the chicken inside the omelet was overcooked and tough. The harvest grain pancakes were also overcooked/bordering on burnt. After eating at IHOP we went to Walmart and ran into a man that had been having breakfast at a table close to our booth. He asked how our food was and I told him it was marginal at best. He said his food was also overcooked. Whoever IHOP has cooking this morning is a horrible cook and should not be allowed to cook and/or a manager needs to oversee what is going out of the kitchen at the Alamogordo, New Mexico IHOP. We've eaten at a lot of IHOP restaurants in many different states and this was our worst experience (regarding food) that we've had in a IHOP. Very disappointed. read more

I usually live going to IHOP but today was a terrible experience. There was a large party leaving as we arrived and it took them 20 or more minutes to seat us after cleaning tables bit worst part was the hour we waited for our food that we never got. They kept blaming the big party but that group was long gone and it wasn't that busy otherwise. Guess they had to order supplies or something. read more

Second time here since it opened. First time was bad, much better now but I'm still not impressed. Coffee tastes old and burnt, and I can make better french toast at home. Service was fast and courteous. read more

Horrible place. Would give negative stars if had an option. They took more than an hour to serve basic pancakes and omelet. Kills time when you want to get out and do useful things. No peppers in red pepper and onions potatoes. read more

Food was cold upon arrival, not what we ordered in reference to the menu, had to return three orders of pancakes due to cheesecake missimg from cheesecake pancakes(the manager looked as well and couldnt find any) huge overpriced disapointment read more

Standard IHOP quality, nothing exceptionally noteworthy. Great service and friendly staff. Coffee is not worth the price.

Service was quick ( that's a first at this location ) 9 O'clock on Sunday didn't have milk. 2.50 for soggy hash browns. Every time I come here I swear it will be my last. Pains of a small town. read more

It's absolutely terrible, and I haven't even gotten my food yet!! What gives? SNORESVILLE!

The pancake I ate was not as good as I had hoped. I've had many pancakes and have made many pancakes as well, but that pancake was not as good. The table was not at all sanitized. I could see leftover crumbs and a piece of hair that was not mine. Gross. The floor was sticky. I thought maybe they must have spilled syrup ALL OVER the floor. Please teach your employees how to properly clean and sanitize. read more

Wait staff was nice as were the people hosting and at the cash register and the food was all right...but what's up with that kitchen? Looking around, I swear they could only get one or two dishes out at a time. And it took an hour for our food. Seriously, omelettes and pancakes...did they have to Google each dish or something? We nearly walked out and across the lot to the Applebee's. read more

Mediocre, but what did you expect from a glorified Denny's? Don't order anything fancy; tolerable if you stick to breakfast or sandwitchs I guess. read more

The new cris-croissants are not a hit. It's not a croissant at all. It's a waffle folded over some unidentifiable glop. There was supposed to be berries on top but all I got was mush. YUCK. ( and their coffee is never hot enough) read more

Garbage...food took 2 hrs ..hair in food...poorly managed nobody knew what was going on

So let me start off by saying that the morning services that we have gone in when the Manager Lisa is working is great. We had been in about a year ago, before she started, and received horrible service. Decided to go back and she really proved that it had changed. Tonight we decided to go in for dinner and it was horrible all the way around. There were literally 3 families inside. We think, "great. This should be a quiet, quick night". The male manager seated us quickly. The waiter at the table adjacent to us ignored us. We sat for another 10 mins before someone finally took our drink order. We sat then for another 10 mins, still no drinks (just 3 them ordered) when the waiter who ignored us finally asked us if we had been served. Maybe we should have been given that courteousy as you watched us wait for 10 mins in the empty restaurant as you finally told the other waitress that we were there and you weren't helping us because we weren't in your area. After about 25mins we finally got our drinks, as we were told, "sorry about the wait". Food overall was less than desired and took over 40 mins to get, without the pancakes our meal came with. We continued to watch our waitress circle the bare restaurant with no pancakes in hand. About 15 mins after we received our food, the tiny pancakes arrived on a BURNING hot plate that I was not told was so hot. I learned the lesson when I reached out for my plate and burned my finger tips. Very disappointing at the level of service and management. We were NEVER checked on by our hostess, at all. When we did get our bill, our hostess charged us for our son's meal (we were there before 6pm) and then HOVERED over me as I filled out her tip. Overall I would NEVER return during the evening. I find it odd that during a time when they are most busy (a weekend morning), their service is on point. It's really fantastic. At night, it's a joke. Dont waste your time. read more

Service was fantastic! Waiter and manager were extremely nice. They even have us a discount on our meal because of a miscommunication on the order and for the wait (which wasn't long at all, probably 10 minutes). We come from San Francisco, so a 10 minute wait was no big deal for us but they insisted on making it right. Best service I've ever had! read more

Slow slow slow.,We waited for over 30 minutes for our food while sitting there watching people that came in after us getting their food before us. All we heard were excuses about how behind they were. read more

Excellent service, food was great. Staff was fantastic. Omelette was perfect and salsa was delicious. Will come back soon !

I haven't had many good experiences at this iHop. From food poisoning to waiting 2 hours for pancakes, or just being forgotten altogether, I'm not sure why I ever go back. The seats are awful, the water tastes straight out of the toilet, and I keep getting food poisoning. Definitely don't recommend, Denny's is far better - at least they won't poison you or forget you're there. read more
