They forgot half my order on my pickup, when I tried to call to get a refund or remade they never picked up the phone I was forced to drive back. When I got there the manager argued that they were picking up the phones and never even apologized for missing the order. Food was mediocre at best. Do not go here, grab some Dennys or eggsmart instead read more

The food was amazing! I ordered delivery so I can't attest to the ambience or service.

The manager here is so rude in the way she treats her staff and customers. She dismissed a complaint about a dirty waiting area and then berates her staff for everyone to hear. She openly counts tips left behind at tables after they leave and then complains about the amount. I don't even know if it goes back to the servers. There are better places to go for breakfast. read more

Its a noisy place but the food was very good and our waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable about gluten free alternatives.

They ere really busy but because we had reservations we were seated immediately but waited awhile before being waited on. The food was fine

Not sure why Ihop moved from Shawnessey to South center. The resturant is clean and new. The server was friendly. It was pretty empty but food took a real long time to get to table. We didn't order anything hard. Classic Benny and bourbon bacon with pancakes. We tried one of the new biscuits as well. The country sampler came with shredded potatoes. The potatoes were blah. Pancakes were really nice. The eggs on Benny were too runny.$65 for 3. Pretty pricy for what u get. I'd rather go to a local resturant. There is also no fruit on the plates like Cora read more

Typical IHOP with familiar menu. Good setting, clean and clientele is more family style than other locations. Enjoyed a decent sized, hot omelette and I really like having the coffee jug on the table. Service was fast and friendly. Likely make this a regular stop for any meal. read more

Excellent customer service! Our waitress was Alyannam, and she was very thoughtful and efficient. She offered to move us to a bigger table when she saw that we were at a small table for 2. She also offered us more coffee. She was extraverted and very friendly. The food was warm and wholesome. The ambiance was great. A very busy restaurant however for 10:00 in the morning. Breakfasts must be the main meal at IHOP! read more

First at their new location. Food was delicious. Love the new location. A lot nicer and bigger. Management and staff were wonderful. Will be back again read more

This is a review of the IHOP at Deerfoot mall location. Do not order the biscuits and gravy. Absolutely horrible. for one thing it's not a biscuit, it's a hard little English muffin and the other is the so called gravy is not thick sausage gravy but thin watery white liquid served in a 2" plastic container. it was actually unbelievable as to what they served. Management blamed their supplier Cisco. I am actually going to call Cisco now and talk to them. read more

In 1974 I ate at IHOPthe Vancouver area a lot, but only a few times here in Alberta. Today my daughter took me there for brunch. She has allergies and they were out of hash browns & gluten-free items & this was before noon. I've been wanting to go to Ihop for months. After today ill never go back. read more

I am sorry to say that I don't think I will be back for awhile. this is the second time in two weeks we have been here. Previously I have no complaints at all. However waiting ten minutes for your coffee to come and then another 45 min for your meal is not acceptable. right now it's lunch. nit very busy and still we are waiting for our sandwich to come. I am not sure what has happened but there is no excuse for this wait. read more

Really good breakfast joint for a chain restaurant. Was busy this Sunday morning. The hostess seated us immediately. I ordered the steak, eggs and bacon with a side of pancakes. Everything came out super fast and our waitress was super sweet. Grabbed us all the condiments our hearts could desire. I like this place a lot, big breakfast for little price. Lots of parking, child friendly, a little bit dirty (had to send a cup with lipstick on it back). But it was busy there so I'll give them that. read more

Server's name was Pearl, she was very efficient, top notch service, so thanks! Really pleasant welcome when we first stepped in too so whoever was at the front door also great, couldn't feel more welcome. Pancakes were actually pretty decent! bacon was very flavourful, eggs cooked perfectly, sausages were absolutely fucking disgusting so get new ones because these were worse than free hotel sausages. fix it. read more

We have now been 90 minutes and only water serves. Horrible. I get that it's, short short staffed, but we have been sitting for an hour. Close some of the restaurant until you get things under control. read more

Was really craving for some blueberry pancakes as I just returned from a city in UK without any decent north American style breakfast. Even though the red velvet pancake was very tempting as well, I got the blueberry pancske breakfast anyhow. The portion size was huge, 2 pancakes, sausage, eggs and hash brown. The pancakes absolutely hit my sweet spot, they had blueberry stuffed in the pancakes along with a blueberry sauce on top. They were out of the world! Even better than what I hoped for. The service was amazing too, the waitress was very attending. Great experience overall, will come back another day for More pancakes! read more

Third time at IHOP and it has always been busy. Again, we lined up for at least 20 minutes under the name "Elsa"(from Frozen), isn't that cute! There were 10 people before us, but the wait wasn't too bad at all. The place was packed, but we still got our orders in quickly and our server was super personable. We waited(there were 3 of us) for about 30 or so minutes for our food, which is understandable because the place is quite busy. But 30 minutes isn't that long to wait really, because I have waited longer than that at a restaurant that was not busy. The food was definitely worth the wait. We ordered their new french toasted donuts - applefritter and strawberries and cream. Both came with your own choice of bacon, sausages, hash browns and 2 eggs. And we also ordered the cinastax pancakes. They were all great and we had no complaints whatsoever. I am already planning on coming back to order their maple bacon french toasted donut this upcoming weekend! read more

The food is always good. The sevice is always good. Being called Tweety Bird to let you know a table is ready for you is always amusing. Being 35 years old and still asking the lady that's there every weekend making balloon animals to make you a ninja turtle is awesome. Yes, as an adult I asked for a balloon creation. Yes, I'm comfortable with that. I am enlightened. read more

The General Manager of this establishment is a failure. Running a restaurant this unorganized is just a crazy. I can't understand why good people wait for this restaurant. I'm from the states and IHOPs are not run this way. read more

Love, love, LOVE this location. It's a Saturday staple before we start our day. Staff is amazing. Food is always amazing. Only downside is there is not enough space for diners to wait for their tables to be ready. Other than that. Great place for any time of day. read more

Here I sit. 10 hours after eating IHOP, bubbling stomach and explosive diarrhea. My boyfriend and I taking turns peeing from our butts. I don't wish this upon any one of my enemies. Don't eat here. Run for the hills....or you will be after you eat here. read more

A great place for dine in breakfast with great menu selections. The food are well portioned, but the sausage and bacon can be salty for some. The service were great on my visits (non-peak hours) as I tend to avoid peak hours. If you plan to have breakfast over the weekend, expect to wait to get seated. Overall, I would go back for breakfast crave. read more

IHOP - It's not as bad as you think. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Food is great and well flavoured but the wait staff is not very friendly and it always feels like they are rushing us out while ignoring our table completely when it comes to refills on coffee. Instead they spend their time talking to each other. read more

My husband and I enjoyed a lovely breakfast on our way out to do some shopping. I foolishly left my (very expensive) watch on the table and we left. The next day I called to see if anyone had found my watch. I honestly expected that the watch was gone. However, the waitress had scooped up my watch and taken it to the office. I called and they said it was there, so I drove over to the IHOP and picked up my (very expensive) watch. Thank you for your honesty and great food! We will be back! read more

I originally reviewed this place having only been here once. That was a few months before I met my boyfriend, who loves this place as much as I do. We go there all the time now and have yet to be disappointed. We've only had to wait for a table once, and even that was only about 15 minutes on a weekend morning. Instead of putting your name down, they give you a card with the name they'll call you by when there's a table ready. We got Jessica Alba, and I also head named like Cinderella and Princess Elsa XD. Then when you're seated it's usually not that long of a wait either. Must have just been 1 bad night the first time I was there. The decor is fairly decent for a breakfast place. I had no idea it used to be a blockbuster! And of corse, I love the originality of the menu. We love breakfast food, but most breakfast restaurants have almost identical menus. This has tons of yummy stuff you would've never imagined. read more

IHOP - Forgot to take a picture first - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

I went here for the first time last night for dinner. Instead of trying to fight rush hour traffic, I detoured and went to the IHOP in Shawnessy. If you have trouble finding it, it's located just west of the A&W. We were greeted by a hostess at the front, and were asked if we wanted a table or booth. The restaurant itself is bigger on the inside, than what the exterior looks like. It's both clean and new, and that's the bonus of eating somewhere that's just opened. We ordered everything from burger's to breakfast, and everything tasted just fine. I had breakfast, which consisted of two eggs, sausage, hashbrowns, and toast. You can choose what type of toast, how you want your eggs, and sausage, bacon, or ham. This was just $7.99. My wife had crepes with yogurt and fruit, and for an extra $1.50 or so you can get eggs and ham with your order. Also we ordered strawberry waffles, which were good and my older boy ordered a burger. The burger he said was good, which I take with a grain of salt because every new burger he tries he says tastes good. It was accompanied by large deep fried onion rings, which were tasty, but greasy. The waitress was very polite and attentive. The only small complaint that I have is the food took a little long getting to our table. I thought was odd, because the restaurant itself wasn't very busy at the time. I will definitely be back to IHOP down the road for breakfast,lunch, or dinner anytime of the day. read more

Went on New Year's eve morning, and won't return. Food was gross - even the pancakes! And the coffee was the worse than the stuff I make at home. Waitress might have been new, so I'll give her some slack, but had to write every word of our order down, and still messed it up. read more

IHOPS pancake sliders are the best thing to ever enter my mouth. The staff are lovely and very nice. Great service

Lets start this review by telling you YOU'RE AT IHOP. Don't expect out of this world service or some amazing meal. They're making pancakes and sausages. My only complaint about this place is that they could have designed the space better. The waiting area is HUGE! If they took out a third of it they could have enough tables to seat those people that they've put out benches for. I get that they're only busy on the weekend, but how how many people do they lose because they don't want to wait 30-45 minutes for a table? Our server was fine. He greeted us and got our drinks quickly, gave us enough time to browse the large menu before bugging us to get our order, and checked on us once we had our meals and to offer refills. The food took a little longer than expected to get to our table but it hit the spot. I ordered the breakfast sampler. All of the meats were cooked nicely and the scrambled eggs weren't over done or dried out. The pancakes were light and fluffy. To drink I got the Splashberry. It was the highlight of the meal. They just take some OJ and put in a splash of lime soda and a scoop of the strawberry topping they use on the pancakes and french toast. Because of the chunks of strawberry your best bet is to skip the straw and just drink fro the glass directly. Side note: They have the all you can eat pancakes deal on right now. I thought about this instead of what I ordered until I did a quick calculation. To get a similar combo to the breakfast sampler ($10.69) with the AYCE pancakes its $15.25. This means you're paying almost $5 extra for ACYE pancakes. Unless you're going to eat an additional 4-6 pancakes on top of the two you already get with the meal, the ACYE pancakes are NOT a good deal. read more

IHOP is pretty standard breakfast food. My daughter loves it because they have two sided crayons. She is four so it doesn't take much...... I have never had a bad meal there hut honestly it's never fantastic either. I think that the best way to describe it is that it's an ok place to have a reasonably priced and reasonable tasting family meal. read more

iHop is awesome and it is finally in Calgary! For those who have never been to the popular breakfast franchise think Denny's only 4 syrup's to choose from and more pancakes also less trademarked menu items (seriously you got to look closer at a Denny's menu, that place is run by lawyers - they even trademarked the work "sampler" to describe their sample platter along with every variation of 'slam'. okay tangent done). In Calgary iHOP kind of a big deal. Expect to wait an hour. Don't expect a breakfast miracle remember "You don't go to an iHop, you end up at an iHop". If only it was 24/7. Also for those wondering: Business Hours are 6 am- 10 pm 7 days a week (as of Dec 2012) I Called read more

Having a homey and breakfast craving anytime of the night , this is the place to go to, the waiter is friendly and nice, pretty laid back and I like that, and let us have our time in checking out the menu. I ordered my usual strawberry pancake with cream cheese and I can say it's good. The creaminess of the pancakes are just right with those cream cheese chunks on it. Hubby ordered the stuffed French toast and he said he likes it, a different twist on the usual toast. The syrup is also great, we always opt on the pecan flavor ,but one thing that's off is for the milk shake, although it's tasty, the advertised container isn't what they're using ~ the shake was on a water glass instead of the traditional milkshake glass they advertised right by the door~ that's what made hubby a lil disappointed since it's kinda false advertising, wouldn't you agree? Thus the 4 stars.. read more

I have been waiting for this place to open for some time since it was announced. I have been to other IHOPs in the US, and this is as every bit as good! Same big menus, lots of choices, and all are delicious. My lunch partner had a Bacon & Egg Cheeseburger that was monstrous for a lunch portion. I enjoyed a Chicken Supreme Stacker with the oozing sauce and gooey cheese - messy but very good. There was a line up of at least 12 deep by 11:30am, restaurant was packed, but the wait was maybe 5 minutes. Management and servers are already operating like a well-oiled machine. Bottomless drinks barely got emptied and were full up again, food came out very fast, hot, and so fresh. Definitely will be back read more

Very consistent breakfest joint. The staff is attendative and is willing to make special request within reason happen. The food is consistent and flavourful. One of the best part of this place is the pancakes and all the different types you can get, red velvet pancake is my favorite. read more

I have been to IHOP in the United States and I know what to expect. You don't go for the decor or ambiance. Heck, even the service can leave a lot to be desired at times. But they make darn good pancakes, which is why I was quite excited when I learned that not only an IHOP was open in Calgary, it was open in my neck of the woods! I came here the first time with my mother for our traditional brunch meetup. There was a wait, but it went by pretty quickly. We were seated and our waitress came by almost immediately to take our drink orders. That was a good start. But slowly the service began to drop off, and we didn't see our waitress as much over the course of our visit. If the food was good, I could possibly let the downhill service slide. But it was subpar at best. I got the blueberry pancakes with whip cream on top and they were just ok. I love pancakes and though I try to eat healthy, I can never say no to a good short stack. But these had barely any blueberries, were undercooked in some parts and the whip cream on top had melted by the time it arrived at the table. My mother's pancakes weren't much better. My mother told me she had no interest in returning, and at the time I agreed with her. A while later though, my friends convinced me to give it a second chance. Hey, when I went last time they had only been open a month, so they had to have some improvement right? Well I can sadly report that things were even worse than last time. Our waitress this time kept disappearing for long periods of time and would come back reeking of cigarettes. I don't care if someone smokes, but when it's all I can smell when you are at our table, it's not pleasant. This time, I tried the chocolate pancakes with eggs, bacon and hashbrowns. The eggs, bacon and hashbrowns were fine. The chocolate pancakes, for being described by the waitress as 'so amazing and really chocolatey' were a letdown. They just tasted like flour, and the chocolate was not pronounced in them at all. Overall, I gave this IHOP two chances. I may give a third chance for the sake of 'three strikes, you're out', but certainly not anytime soon. read more
