I've been to this location quite a few times. Food is always consistent. The staff however is all over the place. We've had some completely absent wait staff and some that are so on top of things that they belong in a diner dining establishment. Overall we typically enjoy our visit. We don't go often and IHOP is what it is. It's usually pretty clean. read more

IHOP - Our Original French Toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Elizabeth City, North Carolina

IHOP is not a place I normally eat but it was walking distance from my hotel and after driving all day, I did not want to get back in the car or get a larger meal somewhere else. The restaurant was not busy either night. My waitress the first night spent more time sitting with her boyfriend then tending to her tables. My beverage was empty for a long time and I still had to ask for a refill even after it was noticed a few times. My waiter the second night was much more attentive so service will depend on who you are assigned. The first night, I had the Eggs Benedict. I was not expecting much, but I did enjoy it. The poached eggs were even runny. The second night I was not very hungry so went with the French Toast with strawberries and bananas. The slices of bread were bigger than I expected and that was pretty good too. The food isn't bad here but the service could be better. read more

5 stars! The restaurant is clean and the staff is friendly and welcoming! The food is excellent!

Great food, great drinks, the back is nice, and most importantly of all Tay was such a fun and great waitress. Recommend coming here!

Consistently good breakfast foods and attentive servers. Pleasant hostess. One of the best iHops we have patronized.

Ate here with my family and it was delicious. the service was amazing. Christina was our server and she made sure everything was correct. Manager Tammy checked in us several times and made the experience that much better. 10/10 recommend! read more

IHOP - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Elizabeth City, North Carolina

Not a place I'd normally go but was dragged there by family. Luckily, our food was so terrible I will never have to go back. Chicken sandwich was comparable to my tennis shoe. Room temp at best and mostly rubber. Service was fine but food took too long given we were the only people there. Should've taken that as a sign. read more

Food: So, it's IHOP. The food is going to be exactly what you expect it to be. I am willing to guess that the staff is doing great with what IHOP gives them to work with. You can certainly go there and get a meal that you are happy with. If pancakes or waffles are your choice, I would recommend bringing some 100% pure maple syrup as it will taste better and bring out the taste of the food much better. Ambiance: This spot is usually not that busy since it's in a small town. I really like that about this place however, for the sake of the staff I wish it was busier so they could have more opportunities make more money. Service: Absolutely fantastic! My experience, everyone that works here is friendly, has integrity, really cares about your experience and that your order is correct. The service alone makes it worth going back here. I always try to add extra when tipping. From the host to the servers, everyone I have come across is excellent. read more

Compliments to the chef. Our food was amazing and it did come out quick. We were glad to see that our wait time at the empty checkin was not evidence of the food serve time. HOWEVER, the service was not good. Only one other couple in the restaurant when we came in. Paid $3.79 a piece for drinks and asked for a refill 3 times and never got one. The African- American girl with braids and a handkerchief on her head, claimed to be our waitress, but a we saw a guy at our table 4x more than her. The restrooms were very clean. Will most likely not return to this locatio. read more

Ms Kara gave me the best service I've had in the last 5 years of going to ihop.if your ever in Elizabeth city request ms Kara section. Keep up the great work The food was great also came hot and and ready read more

very disappointed, not only with the customer service, but with the food too. don't get me started and waiters were very nice. It's just they didn't have a lot of food like for instance they didn't have any grits what breakfast place doesn't have grits. waited 30 to 40 minutes for a chicken quesadilla. after they brought out my chicken quesadilla and fries, my fries were very Cold. I genuinely think they just hire more people though and get more food and cook it better. read more

IHOP - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Elizabeth City, North Carolina

We eat here often and the food is always good. Sometimes there is a wait but it goes quickly. There are times that service is sorta slow but when you are short staffed it's to be expected. The wait staff is attentive and accommodating. read more

I've always loved ihop I'm addicted to pancakes you could say. The place was busy with an after church rush and the waitress was nice but they were too busy for the capability of the restaurant staff. The quality of the food was terrible the pancakes were so cold the butter didn't even melt! The table was dirty and they seated us in the middle of the chaos which made no sense. The decorations were very uniform to the usual ihop theme. read more

IHOP - Cold pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Elizabeth City, North Carolina

the food was good. but the server was so awful. gave me the attitude the whole time. I couldn't believe they tax the bill twice. the total was 56 dollars plus I forget what it was called. it jumped from 56 dollars to 81 dollars plus regular taxes which is 5 dollars. I paid 87 dollars by the time I walked out. I didn't leave a tip because it was almost all I had. hope they paid their waiter with that because holy shit. normally I leave tips. won't be going back again. Waffle House over ihop anyday. read more

Great food, amazing service, so many items to choose from, love the new watermelon splasher and apple pecan pancakes of the month that are advertised. Such a warm and friendly atmosphere. read more

Came here around 2:30 pm and only two other tables were taken. We both ordered burgers while I ordered onion rings the wife got fries. Everything came out hot and delicious. We've tried many places in EC for burgers and honestly they're the best. Only thing I could complain about is the patron who thought it appropriate to start hacking up a loogie as he was being seated. This wasn't someone trying to clear his throat either. However that is not the restaurants fault, it was just a big turn off for my wife to want to return. Besides that we've only had good experience with staff, wait time and food quality. Much better experiences then other places locally. read more

The last two times we've been here we've all gotten sick. Will never go back. Food was mediocre at best, before you know, it made us all sick. read more

Horrible for a 1:30 lunch on Sunday. Food quality was adequate. Wait staff was pleasant. I saw one couple seated after us, leave after 10 minutes of not being waited on. My son got his food five minutes before I got mine. He dropped his hamburger bun on the floor. That took more than 7 minutes to replace. We had to ask for ketchup and mustard which took some time. There was never anymore napkins, which would have been good for the children. We never got refills or addressed again till we got our bill. That will the last time. read more

IHOP - Half a kids hamburger with no bun. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Elizabeth City, North Carolina

Food very good. Server- Ny was awesome! Haven't had a server like her in years. Keep up the great work!

When we arrived it wasn't very busy. It took more than 10 minutes for our waitress to show up. In short one meal came out way before the other. The second meal came out as my husband finished his, but was totally wrong. It took forever to get it straight. The food tasted fine. We won't be going back. We could have gone to VA Beach and ate in the time it took to get our correct full order. read more

Service is always great and quick! My food is always perfect. I know it's owned by a local family and they're there busting their butts to keep the place running smoothly. That speaks volumes in my eyes! read more

Service is kind of slow but the staff is always friendly and working hard. I really like their chicken Florentine crepes. Overall a good place to stop for breakfast read more

Terrible service and mediocre food ,filthy restrooms. Need to hire adults instead of college age lazy individuals that expect tips for lousy services. read more

I enjoy myself everytime I come to ihop , I'd highly recommend Sherry D as your waiter. SHE IS AMAZING , she knows her way around the menu and doesn't mind helping you find something new to try or something close to your favorite meal. She always had a bright smile on her face and is ready to serve. She keeps me and everyone at my job coming back. THANK YOU SHERRY FOR ALL YOU DOOOO read more

Best ihop ive ever been too, place is always clean, service is always quick and nice, and food comes out quick and perfect.

Great food and service. Clean and organized I will definitely be back when I come back to town.

Haven't been to an IHOP in quite a while. Little did I know what I've been missing. The IHOP in Elizabeth City is REALLY good!! The food and service was wonderful! Love the fluffy pancakes. Brought back childhood memories. And the waitress was so nice, professional and knowledgeable. Can't wait to go back!! read more

Best IHOP I've ever been to. Food was above average. Quality was more like a private establishment than a chain. Somehow the service was even better. I will definitely be returning! read more

my boyfriend and I decided to go and have breakfast. Everything was delicious. We also got to meet the new manager Maria and have noticed a lot of changes. Keep up the good job. read more

Great food and staff! I love the buttermilk pancakes! Look for the coupons in the mail.

This place is unhygienic, my friend found a "finger nail" while eating her pancakes. Manager knows my friend has acrylic nails. But she she accused my fried of putting the nail in the food. There is no 0 star to rate. Writing this review for better reach! read more

From the time we arrived, we had the most shocking experience ever!! Lobby Wait was non-existent. There wasn't a greeter or an employee up front period! I understand restaurants are short staffed because of Covid, but that's a standard that should never change. After roughly 5 minutes of waiting, an employee came off the floor and asked, "How many was in our party?" We responded,"Five." He then asks us to,"Hold on one second." like he had no clue if he had a space to sit us or not (normal routine right; same scenario standards need to remain in place for reasons such as those. The atmosphere was normal, less than average noise, and not too bad. Our waitress was polite and did her tasks proficiently. After drinks, our orders were placed. Beautifull ordered the AYCE Pancakes/Bacon & Eggs Combo, Gorgeous ordered Jr Cheeseburger & Mozzarella Sticks, Kyngston ordered Jr Cheeseburger & Fries Combo, Mrs. Overton ordered the Original Pancake Combo, and Mr. Overton (me) ordered the Have it All Breakfast - Pics are uploaded. read more

We've lived here for a little over a year now and we've put off coming here because of the reviews. My husband was craving pancakes a couple days ago so we decided to take the risk. When she showed up it was somewhat busy, but not bad. We waitied about 5-10 minutes to be seated. You could tell they were understaffed so we didnt mind. Our server was nice. Not rude, but not over the top nice. We're not hard people to please. Our food came out at a slow rate, but again, you could tell they were understaffed so we didnt mind. Once we got our food, it was good and warm. Overall it wasnt too bad. We got refills without asking and our food was warm. We left in a good mood. Hopefully we have this same experience, or maybe a tad bit better, when we come back read more

The food was good, but the wait for the food was ridiculous! I understand servers are scarce but you could make the wait mor pleasurable if you offered a basket of crackers or hush puppies with a dip ! read more

Sitting in the waiting room for 30 minutes then the kid behind the counter says its another 45 min and they won't sit anymore or take any orders. Watched them turn away at least 40 people. Just got up and left after. We have never , never been to this IHOP that there hasn't been a problem, we will NEVER come to this restaurant again read more

Every single time I come here I get the same lame ass excuse!!! We are very busy. A lot of people walked in just before you!! BULLSHIT!!!! My family was seated a good 10 minutes with no waitress acknowledging us. A African American man and his son was seated across from us and she was on them like stink on shit!!! What does that tell ya about this establishment? It has now been 35 minutes and still no friggin eggs. Did they have to wait for the chicken to lay some!???? WTF????? read more

I often go here because there is not much choice in E.C on places to go. The staff are always amazing and sometimes the food is good too. I guess it's the time of day that you go. Mornings are the best and late nights. My baby always plays in those pancake smiley faces. When I get poached eggs they look microwaved. I still go there when I'm bored. The staff is very attentive and friendly. I also love the fact they raise money by selling shirts etc for veterans. They even have a table set up in their honor. Also a good place for groups and they are children friendly. read more

IHOP - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Elizabeth City, North Carolina

This place has the worst service. It was bad our last visit. Food is okay but the service is atrocious!the last time we had to wait to order our food, wait for it to come out, and my eggs were rubber! Then I had to wait in a line to the door just to pay the check. This morning we were seated, and we waited. Then the couple seated after us were ordering their drinks and our waitress still had not made an appearance. We left. It's hard to sit there and wait while there are 2 servers in the back standing and chatting. The only reason we even went back - basically you have very few choices in Elizabeth City. But I won't be back. The service has NEVER gotten better. IF I could give it "0" stars I would! read more

Decent staff, decent service, okay food, building is a bit run down, and (according to the staff) ZERO outlets in dining room. So don't plan a working lunch here, or to charge anything while you eat. read more

So my roommate dragged me here this morning even with me giving her options she wanted IHOP. Where do I start so as per my last review it looks like they finally renovated the area I was getting water dropped on me from the ceiling. Upon sitting down at the booth the booth had crumbs on it and table was sticky. Our server Amber seems polite my roommate started with a orange juice and I ordered coffee. My roommate told me to try her orange juice and I tried it and it tastes like they watered it down and my coffee is just the basic coffee which is fine with me. Upon ordering my roommate ordered biscuits and gravy and I ordered the breakfast sampler and I asked for a extra egg and Amber the waitress said there was another combo in the menu that has 3 bacon 3 sausage but no extra egg. I am confused because I can understand trying to give someone options but offering someone something that's more expensive but doesn't meet what the customer wanted? Ummm lord so the food comes out and the gravy doesn't move off my roommates food like it's cement and upon trying it's bland not even sausage gravy as the waitress had said it was, biscuits obviously not homemade. Umm my food was hot but like a microwave nuke got nothing was seasoned and the pancakes seem to have shrunk from what I remember. Again I don't recommend this location. read more
