My family and I accidentally showed up just 20 minutes before closing time, and we didn't realize this until after ordering and we noticed the entire restaurant was devoid of other guests. Regardless, the host/server was incredibly courteous and never once made us feel rushed. He insisted that we enjoy our meals. Wonderful service. I had a waffle (which was light and fluffy on the inside, perfectly crispy on the outside), two eggs sunny side up, and bacon--delicious. read more

The staff is very nice this location is clean the food is great and fresh as well as hot I have no complaints except for they close at 3 PM

Worst ihop I have ever been to. Whoever that man Matt roshendo was, he should not be a franchise owner or manager. My husband asked to speak to the manager and when he came to us, he came ready to fight. He didn't let my husband get a word in. So rude and that wait staff was too. One server was super nice but everyone else was awful. Especially that Matt guy read more

Ms Kaye, MiMi and Mark are great servers at the Mt Vernon IHOP. Your meal will be hot and taste great. They pay attention to the food before bringing your meal. (Replaced over cooked hash browns.) Love that I can request strong coffee. read more

2 stars only because the food wasn't too bad. Service was horrible. I've come to surmise that good wait staff works mostly in Old Town and these places get the left over wait staff. I understand if you're understaffed or the kitchen is backed up. How about you tell your tables that? We saw our waitress twice (once to order/once when she dropped off our food). We had to hunt her down to give her our credit card to pay. Not returning. read more

As usual this Ihop never dissapoints. Had great food as usual and what made it extra special was that we had such a great waitress, Erica B you outdid yourself. The only not so fun part was the waiting line but that obviously cannot be prevented. It's usually not a very bad wait. Less than 15min which is understandable and worth the wait. Will be back there again and again that's for sure! read more

So we just moved to Gum Springs and are remodelling a house, so we've been eating at this local IHOP a lot in the last two months, and I was fully prepared for the usual IHOP bad service no drinks etc, and totally stunned to find the opposite. Even when the IHOP is packed the staff is working diligently to see that drinks are full and plates are full. A waiter when dropping off a slew of plates to our table the other week accidentally had the bottom of another plate hit the top of my food plus a napkin and he took that plate away remarking "never know where all that could have been, need to make you something that looks nice and is what you paid for" The waitresses actually like kids, and the restaurant is always spotless. Now all I can do is wish people would quit showing up in their PJ's and bedheads, eew. read more

When I say don't go there if you have anything to do afterwards, I mean it. Food comes out quickly for breakfast, but wow, not for anything else. They ALWAYS take forever to return my card or change to me after paying. This last time it was literally half an hour of me begging the woman to bring my card back... There were only four other people in the restaurant and like five other servers! Managers are useless... Only complaint about the food is the turkey dinner. The turkey is so dry and gross and in chunks... But I like the stuffing enough to deal with it. read more

Like some businesses, iHop has had to recalibrate. New staff compared to 1+ year ago. Taking longer to get seated, and seems longer to get my order. Generally what one might expect for a chain restaurant. I do not need cream for my coffee, nor do i want jelly for my toast, but I do want coffee shortly after I'm seated. Sometimes I get a carafe of coffee, that is preferable, but sometime i only get one cup and have request a refill. Location has been busier on weekends. read more

If I could give them a zero I would... they were awful! Slow as molasses, zero interaction, we had to ask for drinks, the food came out wrong and it took forever to get so we were so hungry that we just ate. I asked for my sirloin tips to be medium rare they came out medium well, my eggs were supposed to be over easy, they were over medium. We checked and our server had 3 tables.... THREE... there was absolutely ZERO reason to get thus type of service. I would spoken to the manager but I'm not sure that would have made much of a difference since it took the table next to us had to wait 10 minutes to get their check. I can't tell you how much this disappointed me, especially since we live in the area and coukd have made this a regular place for us. read more

Shocked by how good the SERVICE was! Let's face it, IHOP is not gourmet food and usually you get really crappy service. Not this IHOP. We arrived during the Sunday brunch rush and were given a large table. Our waitress immediately brought our drink orders and took our food order shortly after. When the food arrived, one of the pancake orders was missing the strawberries. The manager overheard us politely asking for the strawberries and immediately brought out a big plate of them. Drinks were refilled fast, place was clean. For an IHOP, this one is good!! read more

We wanted pancakes. We got them. Two of us were having birthdays. The birthday item at IHOP is an ice cream Sunday. If you ask for bananas, it counts as fruit and can be your breakfast item...just sayin. read more

Shockingly decent ihop that is pretty nice inside and way better than the Denny's down the road. Also not much else around. Had some if the newer fancier options and very good tasting if you like the sweeter options like pumpkin pancakes. Service is good and doesn't take too long even on weekends like other ihops. read more

I absolutely love iHop. However today, this location. I'm not sure if it is because the staff is tired from serving countless veterans their free breakfast.... but our waitress was rude from the moment we sat down. And the food was gross. My eggs taste old, and my bacon not so good. I'm sure it's because of the day. I can only imagine what these places go through. read more

IHOP - Receipt - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

So I've been to IHOP many many times in my life and it they always do a great job with the quality of food. Most of the time I order the steak omelet because I know it will always fill me up just right. I can't say anything is spectacular about this particular ihop, it pretty much the same. Same service same food etc etc. I give it 3 stars because I've been to 4-5 star breakfast/brunch restaurants and ihop is a everyday breakfast/brunch restaurant nothing to go crazy about, u feel me! It's a great place to just wake up and go, and you'll know that the food will always be good. Keep up the good service and food ihop read more

Ok French toast and thin bacon. But cooked ok. Warm but not hot coffee. Server hasn't come back after dropping off food. Probably not her fault as it looks like they are short of staff for the volume of people. Clean and new looking interior. Fine for a heap family meal. Not a place to entertain. read more

Ate their last night with my family. Have eaten there a handful times before. And had "okay" service. Last night I ordered The stuffed French toast. It looked amazing!!!!, but no filling.. Just raisin bread read more

This was a good "I HOP " service was good the server was cool and there customer turn-around is fast. They were seating no less than than family size. And turning the tables,they are efficient. Outside of that, water among food were good,the price was inexpensive and I would recommend this to anyone visiting. read more

This is the day just before New Years and and Dennys was packed ! I believe we got here around 250 pm and our food is still on the way. Our waitress Patrick is so nice and he stated our food would be here shortly at 340am - my friend and I are still awaiting for our food! Soooo ... update the good has arrived and it was pretty good , not the hottest but still okay ! When we first arrived around 250am a waiter or waitress never came to us so we had to waive one down but overall if you're not In a hurry, it's okay :-/ read more

This must have just recently opened but it is a nice restaurant. The staff seemed tentative about being friendly but are very cordial and prompt. Since its on of my sons go to place to have a birthday meal I'm sure we'll be back. It will be interesting to compare. read more

IHOP - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

As a chain goes it is very typical and is usually what you expect. Because we are regulars there, we know the staff. The morning staff has a very low turnover rate. I think that says a lot about them. read more

This is clearly a very well run restaurant. All the staff are welcoming and friendly, the service was exceptional and the food was good. It was a joy eating breakfast here! read more

It's a good thing that this IHOP offers breakfast all day long. I can't complain about the eggs, hash browns, bacon, and pancakes - they taste great. Lunch and dinner offerings are over seasoned - too spicy and much too salty. read more

I order the breakfast sampler which consist bacon, I replace sausages for more turkey bacon, eggs, French toast and pancakes, and my friend order the big omelette. Our server was attentive, and our food came fast. Average price for both $36.00 read more

This is my favorite IHOP in the area for breakfast. We go every weekend and always ask for Mimi. (Linda and Karla are good backups) The waitresses take the time to know the regulars, food is always good, hot and fast. Mimi is a delight, friendly and attentive. DO NOT go for dinner. Each time we have gone for dinner they have been understaffed, slow, unattentive. Last time (because I believe things can improve) we were seated, had our orders taken, 35 minutes later still did not have our food, walked out, across the parking lot to Ruby Tuesday. The place was extremely behind. The waitress never even came by to apologize or check on us. If you need IHOP for dinner, try the location on Jefferson Davis Hwy. read more

Not as terrible as the other local IHOP, but very close. I always give them the benefit of the doubt. Don't sit near the kitchen as there are always loud arguments going on. Make sure to be very specific with your order as they will bring you something else if you aren't. The servers only run their own tables plates from the kitchen so better hope your server isn't busy. read more

Slow service and long wait, food was as expected. Can't go wrong with pancakes. The whole place needs to be updated and fixed up, starting to fall apart alittle. read more

I am sorry but when the pancakes at McDonald's taste better than IHOP, something is seriously wrong. If you need your pancake fix, Denny's is a couple blocks away with a nicer ambience and more depth to the menu. read more

Bad service. I told the waitress about the French toast was eggy why I didn't eat nothing. Waitress Hispanic, heavy girl with bleach hair and painted eyebrows. Instead of taking the plate to the kitchen she caught an attitude after I told her about the problem. No refund. Never coming back read more

This place is horrible! We went there after a long day of baseball! There was a problem with our check and the waitress took my keys off the table when she cleared the table! Our check ended up being taken out of my bank three times and the waitress wouldn't give us our keys back! We had to get the manager!!!! It was a horrible experience! read more

I love ihop and I totally understand when there busy but I don't like feeling ignored either... I take my kids and on the weekends and about two weekends ago I took my son on a mommy and me date with breakfast first at ihop on a Saturday... Yes I know busy duhh but man did it take forever to get my servers attention... And because she was so busy she was I guess in the zone she just flew on threw I get that but still I felt very left out and had to ask other servers to help me out at on point I got up and refilled my own drink... Still love to food they just need help with customer service... read more

Love this location! We are regulars and the staff is always friendly, especially Kay and Miles, my husband will request one if them to the point where we will wait if their section is full. They are both friendly, and we always get out food in a timely manner. People like Kay and Miles are the reason why we continue to go back. They make you feel at home. read more

Not as good as the one in Arlington off of Route 1. The waitress didn't check on us very often. The soup I ordered was uneatable. It tasted as if someone poured a cup of vinegar in the soup. The mashed potatoes were dry and the roast beef was a bit cold. I've had the same items from a different IHOP so I know what to expect. This place fell flat. However, I would try this place again, but just for breakfast items. read more

Kinda let down on our second visit. This time the waitress was rude and the service was slow. Wish it wasn't my lil girl's favorite. I'll have to find something else for her to try! read more

Went there to get a new "Stuffed French toast." All was good they bring it out and it looks amazing, I mean scrumdidilyumptous! Then... I take a couple bites, hmm not bad it tastes good only something is missing I keep eating and am waiting to see the cream cheese stuffing thinking "a little more aught to do it". And then I get upset and split it open. Nothing not a drop of the cream cheese filling. I mean it is called stuffed French toast isn't it. Very butt hurt that I broke my clean eating habit for a non stuffed French toast. Not going back to this location. Everything else was spot on. read more

Slowest service I've ever had in a dining room full of less than 10 people. 3 servers all standing around, I had to take my glasses to them twice for refills. Completely uninterested in customer service. Food was beyond mediocre, in a bad way. Great steak omelette had about 5 grungy little pieces of steak - but mostly consisted of undercooked mushrooms. I get it, it's IHOP, but if I'm paying $10 for an omelette, I want a good one. Gravy on chicken fried chicken was old and had an obvious film on top from sitting too long. Absolutely will not be going back to this location! read more

This place has the worst management ever. I went to have my breakfast and accidently forgot my wallet on the table but I literally came back in 3 mins and they already took my money. I lost like more than $600. It's unbelievable. I talked to the manager and he said there is nothing that he can do about it. And there is no f****** camera in the damn restaurant. I just can't believe it. They will lose customers because of such bad employees and bad customer services. Even the small coffee place has security cameras and that damn IHOP has no camera?! Avoid it at all cost if you can. Nobody wants to be around thieves. read more

IHOP is pure comfort food. It's got delicious food in a comfortable environment. Plus it's one of the cheapest restaurants around. I'm moving this restaurant to 5 stars because each time I'm disappointed after eating at an expensive restaurant I think to myself "I should have gone to IHOP...it would have been cheaper and the food would have been good." With DC prices at nice restaurants it's nice to be able to relax and eat cheaply at IHOP. read more

Ate here for the first time last weekend. Though they were very busy on a Sunday morning, we didn't have to wait for a table. Super service from Reina. Great food - egg white California Scramble for me, 2 x French toast, pancakes and eggs for my husband. All around positive experience. We will eat there again this weekend! read more

Great food and great service. We had a great time with my friends over there. Not sure about all negative reviews, we all loved it! P.S. extra point for clean bathrooms. :) read more
