A solid 'good' 3 stars. I'm actually not a huge fan of pancakes or waffles being served with super-sweet pre-made sauces (I'll more enjoy house-made, berry sauces from scratch), so IHOP wasn't a big draw for me in spite of being near me and only the only in the GTA. Otherwise, you can get pancakes and other breakfast items at countless other places. But my kids wanted to check it out so I finally went a couple separate times. One huge plus is that they have a 'kids eat free' (off the kids menu) in the evenings. About a month ago, it just required a full meal purchase. Unfortunately since then, it is now only available if ordering from the 'entree' menu which isn't even breakfast items. The pancakes and all the staples are fine. Nothing exceptional, but still pretty good. I actually thought the southwest scrambled I had was pretty good. Nothing I would go out of my way to recommend, but a little better than I expected. I would be a bit more motivated to return if the 'kids eat free' only required another purchase for a full meal. Now that it has to come from the entree menu, I'm not as sure I'll be rushing back. read more

Cinnamon bun crepe came with essentially just wet sugar plopped all over it, waitress / kitchen forgot half of the items, and the music playing was almost entirely Taylor Swift or some sad shit. read more

IHOP Brampton location. Walked in here because everyone loves good pancakes, and I've yet to go somewhere with pancakes like theirs. The service was fast and my server was friendly, but let's talk about the inside. Dirty restaurant, like it had never been cleaned the whole day, and the temperature inside was unbelievably cold. The door was broken, so all the cold air came inside. Not okay. But the food was fantastic! I guess you can't have it all! read more

I went here for brunch with a friend. I ordered something from the kid's menu and asked for NO BANANAS. The server later came to me and said she forgot to remove the bananas as she places the plate, then leaves. Other than this the food was still pretty decent. read more

I saw this IHOP has newly opened and my sister told me how good the pancakes were. I was very excited to eat here. I came around noon with a friend and it was very busy. There were a lot of parties waiting to be seated. However, it only took around 10 minutes to get a table. Our server was Megha. The table felt very cramped though because it was really close to the people next to us. So if you're looking for a more intimate setting I'd come during non-peak hours or on a weekday. Onto the food. The traditional breakfast items like eggs, bacon, sausage etc. Were somewhat basic, but enjoyable. I really liked the hash browns they had. The pancakes really stood out to me though. They really are the fluffiest and lightest pancakes I've had in a while. So no complaints there really. Now the reason I feel that the experience wasn't the best was because of the service. For some reason, EVERYONE working in the restaurant looked stressed. And somehow this stress was projected onto me. Like I felt stressed for some reason LOL. If I gave a star for every time something was dropped then it would be a 5 star review. It seemed that everything was scrambled and the servers were very scatterbrained. A few things that happened aside from the dropping of items were: 1. I left to go to the washroom and I came back and my coffee was gone 2. They gave the receipt and right after the bussing lady took the receipt and threw it way with the dishes, then after letting her know she was fishing it out of the bucket that had all the food scraps and what not. It took some convincing to just print a new receipt Lastly, when leaving we were heavily pressured to leave a review. The server was practically begging. At this moment me and my friend really felt like we were being held hostage. Overall I think you should come when it is not busy. Pancakes were great though! read more

February 28/2023: Breakfast with my lovely wife. This is a very new restaurant & this is my first visit. The service was very good. Our server, Ishita was a delightful young lady but had a body odour issue. That's easily fixed but was not very appealing for breakfast (loss of a star). As for the food, it was tasty but rather expensive. I had the 55+ Rise & Shine breakfast ($12.99). It came with 3 pancakes that were delicious. Wife had the Freshberry Crapes ($17.99), but they were a little over cooked. All in all it was a very nice meal. read more

We were at the Erin mills Mississauga Ihop location for a brunch on June 6th , 2025 the management is the worst among all restaurants its understaffed and we were told wait time was 35 mins and were made to wait 1 hour 15 mins After which food took an hour to be served , they are understaffed and they are expected to serve many tables while we waited saw many empty tables unoccupied so very inefficient 100% blame management , staff was trying their best with what they were given Management needs to hire supervisors to govern service is done in a timely and efficient way read more

Excellent service, good quality food. We went there for Saturday brunch. The place was quite full, but we were given a table in less than 10 minutes, we selected to sit at the patio as the weather was really nice. The servers were excellent and friendly. Several times they checked with us if everything is good and if we needed anything. Food was wonderful, like most of the good Ihops. We had Spinach & Mushroom Omelette and Big Steak Omelette. Nicely prepared and served. The downsides are... the wait time to get the food is quite long, and the cutlery needs more proper cleaning. But overall, a good place for breakfast/brunch read more

I was excited to order from here (via Ubereats) as all of my IHOP experiences have been stateside and at Niagara Falls, but it's a no. The hashbrown had a very off-putting flavour that made it inedible. The pancakes were small but at least edible. The sausages were burned, the bacon had a strange after taste, and the eggs were lack luster and overcooked. The fries were cold and tasted strange, even the garlic bread was strange. The slivers of the turkey was clearly microwaved or something equally horrid as it was just sad and dry. Even the gravy could not save this turkey dinner. At least the side salad seemed fresh. In all, I'll stick with Denny's. IHOP? IPASS!! read more

Previous reviews mentioned the service was not great however we had a great time. You can choose to sit in the patio or inside, it was not that chilly so we picked the patio and it's very well heated. The food was slow to arrive and we did request multiple times for water, apart from which they were all having a busy day and will give it to them for trying. The food portions are large. I would Skip the French toast, too dry for my liking. The protein pancakes were filled with banana bites and loaded with strawberries. Loved the coffee. Definitely get the eggs if you like them, I got spinach and mushroom and was filled in the inside with a generous portion outside as well. read more

I had been to an iHop in the US before but this was my first visit to one in Canada and it was... ok. The food was fine, the service was alright but was it worth the price over other breakfast joints? I wouldn't say so. At least it was decorated in the Christmas swing of things. read more

Dropped in for lunch on the weekend. It was a little disappointing that the patio was not being used, it was a perfect day for it and three were plenty of people waiting. I was happy that the wait was only about 15 minutes. We tried the all you can eat pancakes and added some bacon and sausage, that was a great value. The pancakes tasted great and were piled high. The sausage was good and not too salty, the bacon came extra crispy as ordered. Service at the table was a little slow and we had to ask more than once for water or a to go container. Overall good review because the food was good. read more

Went for Father's Day eats with my family. I understand it was extremely busy, the door woman, although being slammed, was helpful and communicated well. After being seated it took an hour to get my food. When it came it was warm (at best) and my eggs were rubber - obviously due to sitting for a lengthy period of time. I had to remind The wait staff about cutlery, as food was delivered without it. Previously, I have eaten at this location and the food and experience was a hundred times better. So lessons? Go when it isn't busy for the best experience. read more

long wait times. Food was very salty and took 30 minutes to get a drink. Dixit was an amazing server and was very friendly would definitely give him a raise! Ambiance was normal not bad but poor music choice. read more

Don't waste your money. Absolutely horrible. Understaffed. I am not sure what happened but we had to wait 45 mins for food. When it came out was the wrong order. Had to wait again for them to get it right. Still not right! Food was cold, cutlery was dirty and eggs where rubbery. How do you mess up eggs! If you are willing to waste your money pay them a visit! Tim Hortons two doors down is a much better option! read more

A glass of milk is $5 and so is a glass of apple juice! two drinks with a coffee almost $15 for 3 drinks. Ordered an item and they were not able to put it together properly. It was the biscuits and gravy with eggs bacon sausage and hash brown. They brought out a biscuit with butter and no gravy asked for it as it was what was ordered and they brought a small amount of gravy which was not enough to cover the biscuit so I had to ask for more. Did not get asked if we wanted refill on drinks including coffee and as soon as well were done they brought the bill. I have been to this IHOP before and this was by far the worst experience. The cost for drinks is not acceptable and lack of customer service was disappointing. read more

Excruciatingly slow service with poorly trained staff. My wife and m-i-l arrived at 7pm for a quick bite before picking me up at 8. I walked over from work and joined them at 7:45. My wife's food FINALLY arrived just before I arrived but it was the wrong order. My m-i-l's food arrived soon after I arrived and it was dry and luke warm. I waited for about 10 minutes to be served and another 5 to get cutlery. My ice tea, which was listed as "fresh-brewed" is fountain Nestea! Prices are a little on the high side. Add the poor and slow service and it's not a good experience. Many better choices in the neighborhood to eat. Go elsewhere! read more

I went during the Ramadan special and they had a variety of halal options. The spinach and cheese omlette was very tasty, along with the berry crepes. The service is quick and friendly read more

The food was alright, you get a pretty good amount of food for the value. The service was a nightmare due to it being one of the only locations in the province. For a table for two, we waited about 50 minutes, but not so long for our food. The hosts and servers are very nice people though! The ambience was pretty nice! Lots of indoor and outdoor seatings of all numbers of parties. I'm sure many of these ratings will increase as more locations open up across the province! read more

We came on the 2nd day of opening at around 1:30-2pm. The service was friendly when we arrived. It wasn't too busy and we got seated right away. We tried the cold brew and the mango splasher (this was yum). We ordered and got our food in a timely manner. Pancakes were gooood. My main issue was that the staff was too...friendly? - which is ok but getting checked up on 6 times by 3 different people in a span of 15 mins was a little too much for us :( as soon as we got our food, our server had already asked if we wanted take out boxes..which didn't make sense to me. She asked again in the middle of eating our pancakes. While we were near the end of our our meal, she brought us the bill and machine to pay right away (we weren't done yet) so we felt kinda rushed even though there were a lot of free tables. I'd come back though read more

Worst service ever!!! I went with my best friend who was visiting January 1,2023. We were excited to try it for the first time. We sat down for an hour and no one came to take our order. The waitress took the orders from everyone who came after us and served them their foods. We tried getting her attention and she didn't even acknowledge us. I called my sister and her boyfriend who sat after us in the booth across us to see if they got their orders taken before us low and behold they did. (It took them an hour to get their food and when there bill came they were charged for food they didn't even get.) The waitress noticed I was speaking to my sister about if she ordered and still didn't come to take our order. At that point me and my friend were so hungry we walked out the waitress and then came up to us to take our order with no apology. I work in customer service for a living. An apology goes along way. We ended up at the Indian restaurant next door best read more

Meh, food was ok and overpriced food. Took a very long time to get our food and it wasn't that busy when we first got there. Will not go back, have been to many other IHOP in Buffalo and have enjoyed the food there before. read more

I read the reviews before going, but thought "it couldn't be that bad". It was. Believe the reviews. We waited less than 10 minutes for a table. But then waited 30 minutes for our drinks to be brought to us. I ordered their "freshly brewed iced tea" but it's just fountain Nestea. Also ordered coffee and had to hunt down a spoon. Food came after waiting nearly and hour then watched it get cold as we waited for cutlery to be brought. Tables around us had similar issues, no spoons or cutlery, wrong orders. Waiter didn't check in on us during the 1.5 hours we were there and walked in the other direction when we tried to flag him down. $60+ for mediocre food and terrible service is not worth it. read more

I was very excited when an IHOP opened in Brampton because I've been going to IHOP for decades. Alas, it is very disappointing. I came on a beautiful summer day and asked to sit on the patio only to be told it's closed. The hostess did not know why. My server tried hard to upsell me on the menu, which I assume means she is pressured by management to upsell. Finally, I asked for my bacon extra crispy and they came out dripping with fat and not crispy at all. Poor management because IHOP in the US is consistently better. Maybe there will eventually be a change of management and the place will improve but for now it's a no go. On the positive side, they played great music. read more

Absolutely horrible!!! Under staffed , slow service, food was cold. What a terrible experience , while the servers were trying to serve food that was taking over 45minutes to receive, you have 4 kitchen staff members eating on the patio. No manager to be found , such a disgrace for the ihop name. When i asked for a refill of water this is the glass I received with chocolate on it. Will never go back, save your money and go somewhere else. read more

I'm pretty disappointed. I grew up in the US and first ate at International House of Pancakes as it was known back then, about 45 years ago. Last one I ate in was in Chicago about ten years ago, so I was quite keen to give this Canadian location a go with my wife. For what we paid, I was expecting a fair bit more food on the plate. My wife was so hungry after we left, we stopped at a Mickey D on the way home for a snack for her. It was pretty meagre. I guess it did look like the pictures in the menu and online, but for $20 I think they could do better. My wife commented that yes, she had two eggs, but they must have been from the smallest chicken that has ever lived. Potatoes are like the cheapest food on the planet and this tiny patty of hashbrowns was quite anemic looking. I got more food with my omelette and I think it was more reasonable. The pancakes that everyone raves about is pretty much a mix at best, but again, I knew that going in, so I was not overly distraught by it. The quality of the food is about what we expected, we are realistic about that level of expectation, and everything arrive as ordered and it was cooked properly, nothing bad to say about that at all. Service was okay, she wanted our order like three minutes after we sat down and looking at the ginormous menu for the first time in a decade. Place had a few tables occupied, but not nearly as much as I would have expected. Food took quite a while given there was not much going on to keep the kitchen terribly busy. Probably not your best option if you are in a rush. I might eat there again, but I'm not going to be in any big hurry to do so. Lots of places that do breakfast with more food for less money, there is nothing so unique about this place to demand a premium. I did not wish to take our my irritation with our server. She did nothing wrong and she does not own the place. I gave her more than a fair tip and did not bother telling her my thoughts on the subject. My wife is not too happy with me for suggesting we eat there, but she conceded that she was too expecting better than this. This is why I always own a comfortable couch. I have my doubts this place is going to be around much longer. read more

It you get chicken and waffles jr they give u 2 waffles and 3 chicken I wouldn't recommend because its not fullin.

Was so excited when they opened an ihop in the area. Went for brunch on a weekday, had to wait for 30 minutes for a table (not a problem) once we were seated and ordered it took another 40 min to get our food. Hubby had pancakes and I had stuffed crepes. Food was just ok. We both had coffee which was decent. read more

Restaurant was half empty, we were told there was a 20 minute wait for a table and an additional 30 minutes for food. The wait for the table was just shy of 40 minutes and the wait for the food was over 1 hour. Our server has been polite, the food was "fine". The front of house seems to be fully staffed but there just isn't much food coming out of the kitchen. Save your time and go to the sunset grill across the street. read more

Food was edible but wasn't good. Extremely long wait times but yet lots of empty tables in the restaurant? Horrible service, horrible wait times.
