Such a wonderful family breakfast! We had a great time enjoying breakfast together. The food was delicious, the restaurant was very clean, and the atmosphere felt comfortable and welcoming for our family. A very special thank you to our server, Maudi--she was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. She treated us like family and truly made our morning extra special. Thank you so much, Maudi, for taking such great care of us! We'll definitely be back. If you want a short family‑friendly version: Great family breakfast! The restaurant was clean, the food was delicious, and the service was wonderful.

My husband and have been eating dinner at the IHOP in Emporia, KS once a week for the past four weeks. We are very impressed with the better service and quality of food then had been in the past. Every time we have eaten there these past four weeks, we are greeted promptly to be seated, promptly and courteously, had our order taken and food was delivered in timely manner, warm and good. The main two servers have been Marissa and Leon. They have provided super service over the past four weeks. The manager (I did not get her name), also greeted us on several occasions to make sure everything was OK and to see if we needed anything. I highly recommend eating at IHOP Emporia, KS. My husband and I will be back again and again with this great service. Jamie read more

Walked into this total ghost town of an IHOP at 8pm Thursday. After a couple minutes a young man emerged from the kitchen and invited me to sit at a dirty table. After asking for a clean table got retabled only to discover how sticky and unclean the menu appeared. Gross Inquired about the advertised Thursday-specific entree deal and the server found himself unable to answer in an informed manner. When I politely asked how to make a worthwhile dining decision based on his lack of knowledge the response only showed further ignorance. Then he got attitude because I wasted his valuable time by deciding to leave. Has anyone else noticed how lower wage workers expect more pay while refusing to perform at a level worthy of higher wages? Or why once thriving businesses fail due to abandonment of previous high standards? read more

IHOP - Deadest restaurant ever. Locals apparently already gave up on this dump - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Emporia, Kansas

Walked into a clean restaurant waited to be seated. No one at the desk where it states wait to be seated. Sat down after a few minutes and received our water and coffee in a short time. Gave our breakfast order but it seemed to take an extremely long time for a breakfast with a restaurant with few customers. My husband asked for onions in his hash browns and when we received his dish the was a small amount of grilled onions on top. When we got the bill it was shocking to see a charge of $1.79 for those onions I know there is a charge but that was excessive. read more

Food good, staff extremely noisy talking among themselves near us. Not a place for a quiet conversation. Every time our nice server came by, she interrupted to see how we were. Every time, and if she cleared a plate she told us.... Next time we will sit in a corner. And $6 breakfast very good, add $2.99 for bad coffee, not so good. Thanks read more

The food is good but it has gone downhill a lot, do went have nearly the choices for pancakes and waffles. The many flavors that I used to be provided with in syrups are now gone, only one or two now and very limited quantities. They are completing menus with hamburgers, etc. But IHOP was always breakfast specialties. Slow service. read more

The eggs were very small. Asked for eggs over easy/medium not runny white, came hard. Food was cold.

Stopped for breakfast today. Isiah was our server. He brought the coffee (left the pot) tool our order, checked on us often but not intrusive. Food was excellent. Wife got pesto veggie benedict (which she enjoyed). I got chosen fried steak with eggs, hash browns, with pancakes. Breakfast was good service was great. It was quiet on this below zero morning. Oh and a coffee for the road. We recommend stopping for breakfast and say hello to Isiah. read more

There seems to be an IHOP on every corner of a small town and even off the interstate. It's mid afternoon and needing substance I stopped at one of the places I never stop. Pulling open the menu -- I see it has been updated. There are loads of choices, but I settled on over easy eggs, bacon, hash browns and buttered toast--the traditional. I am hoping it's hot and fresh. Just as I figured the food is good, not spectacular, but something to keep your stomach from rumbling. The prices are reasonable $ and parking bountiful with easy access to the freeway. read more

IHOP - Hot Traditional Eggs, Bacon, Pancakes & Toast! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Emporia, Kansas

2.5 hours and members of our group of 5 still did not receive their simple pancake order. No coffee refills the entire time.

wish i could put zero stars but this visit was horrible. there was hair on the table from not being wiped, server was not attentive, food was cold and overall just not an average ihop. higher up need to check on this location. inside of establishment is not kept clean. read more

Never again!!! Stood at the front desk for 10 minutes and there were only 2 other patrons in the restaurant. The server was very inattentive and the food was not the great. The coffee tasted 4 hours old. Not impressed. Worst IHOP I have ever been too. read more

Good service, good food. Got there 30 minutes before closing . 2 things were out just before closing. Did have all we wanted.

Waited 90 minutes for a simple order when there were only 2 other tables with customers. The food was of very poor quality. Certainly not worth the average of $13-15 per meal. We will certainly NOT be back. Don't waste your money. The waitress was nice, but returned to us 3 times to confirm our order. Just awful. read more

This location was worth the trip we got in quick and the service was for the most part pretty good. Food was also very nice although as an avid onion ring guy I would recommend avoiding the onion rings but everything else was great. read more

We ordered breakfast. The waitress didn't write our order down. My eggs arrived scrambled instead of over easy. Then when so asked for over easy she brought out one egg but charged us for two. A snow storm was coming so I let it go so we could get back on the road as we were still an hour from home. read more

food took forever music was too quiet waitress was nice though paint was chipping on the sides read more

I ordered the Poblano Omelette, was very delicious and just the right amount of spicy hotness. I would have given 4 stars but they had a bit of a fly problem, especially in the restroom. Good service. read more

Placed my order approximately a half hour ago, yet no meal. My biggest fear is the food will be lukewarm like the soup she served me. I had to move to a different table because there were about 5 flies near mine just annoying the crap out of me. I got up and asked to switch to another table. They asked me where I would like to sit and I responded, somewhere there aren't any flies. She thought about it for a second and said the flies are all over. Seriously. IHOP. Why would you allow this. This restaurant is infested with flies. Never again. read more

Is there an option for no stars? Held a fundraiser here and I hope we make money! Been here 2 hrs and got raw chicken and cold food! No manager in sight! Won't be back for a while! read more

The ihop in this area's food is great. That being said, the waiting staff is not great. There were maybe four individuals working. They took orders without notepads which caused them to mess up the orders. There were people in the back yelling "if she shows her face here I'm going to bash her f-ing head in" at the top of their lungs while we tried to eat. Would not recommend. read more

The service here was amazing! Our server, Katie, was super nice and helpful. She was patient while we looked for our orders, and even helped suggest an item that the kids enjoyed. She asked us if we were finding everything alright in a timely manner, and brought us our food quickly. The food was delicious, definitely recommend getting the new york cheesecake pancakes! Overall a great experience, and will definitely be returning here again! read more

This place was a favorite but service and food but have been on a steady decline. After todays visit we wont be back. We were ignored and waited to be acknowledged to be seated, then went through the same thing for our service. Our order was done incorrectly, and some wasnt worth trying to eat. My potato soup (typically a favorite) had a layer of grease on top that was disturbing, and my friends french toast was so soaked with strawberries and glaze they were sickeningly sweet and she barely forced down half the order. read more

This is the worst service I've ever had . We've stood at the door for 15 min with no one up at the host stand or seating us. The lady cleaning the table that were suppose to sit at is taking her own sweet time. They don't even deserve a one rating. I wouldn't recommend this place read more

As we pulled into the parking lot we were concerned about the service since they were full. We were nicely surprised that the service was great, food and portion sizes were good and the temp of the food was appropriate. The remodel is a great improvement to iHOP too! read more

If I could give more than five stars, I would. The IHOP in Emporia, KS is amazing! The GM, Dawn, went above and beyond for me recently. IHOP is looking to get into catering and I had an event in Emporia at 6:15 am. Dawn asked employees to come in early to make food, found a delivery person and made sure the food was AMAZING. The people at my event loved it and were very impressed with the yummy food. If you need to cater an event, this IHOP really shines. The staff is courteous, and follows through on every request. I'm impressed. I cater many events, and Dawn's actions (with the help of her great employees) really made my event shine. Dawn and her team represent the IHOP brand well and are great to work with. I will use them every time I am in Emporia or the surrounding areas. read more

05 / 11 / 2021- evening: Me & my wife only. Resturant had maybe 8 tables / booths that had customers w/ no big groups. Ordered chicken strips for both of us, she had buffalo style. Side order of oinion rings which were obviously of frozen grocery store variety. My order arrived at least 10 minutes prior to wife's. Both were not very tasty, very tough. Buffalo style appears to be different only by them being soaked in hot sauce. Beverages served in kid size glasses, filled w/ ice, which results in frequent refills. Waitress probaly did her best considering circumstances. Cost of the meal was $32.00 read more

I went to the Commercial Street Diner and it was closed so this was the only breakfast place that I knew of. I ordered the "Split Decision" which included two bacon strips, two sausage links, two eggs, two half slices of French toast, and two pancakes. I told the waitress not to bring the two pancakes as I would not eat them. I got the pot of coffee and only had one cup. I ordered the eggs medium and they were over easy at best. In my opinion it was too expensive for what you get. $13.00 including the tip. I don't think I'll be going back. read more

They are not enforcing CDC guidelines or making people wear masks into or out of the restaurant. They say our large group at a 4 person table and just brought up extra chairs and made us cram into it. They took 45+ minutes to bring our food and when they did a lot of it was wrong. They kept forgetting to bring our silverware, and disappeared into the back and didn't come out for long periods of time. There were multiple other issues but those are a few to sum it up. read more

Complete dump. Waited 25+ minutes for food when waitress said would be "just a few more minutes". Walked out at that point. How hard is it to make an omelette? Did the waitress forget to put the order in or is the kitchen staff that incompetent? Terrible. read more

What you would expect from an IHOP. Ate here this morning looking for a quick breakfast as family heads out of town. Food was good and plentiful but waited 30+ minutes for dishes they should be pumping out. Didn't hate it but was in a bit of a hurry. I'll always come back to an IHOP read more

IHOP of Emporia Kansas should do everyone a favor and just close. Terrible service. The food is always cold and looks disgusting. Don't waste your money. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE OR STAY HOME! -5 stars. read more

The food was cold and not tasty. Service was terrible. Will never go back! Took 30 minutes to get a cold breakfast. Put of ketchup for hash browns. read more

Well, after a year and a half, my daughter talked me into giving the Emporia IHOP another chance. I must say, there was a 100 percent improvement. The staff was very friendly, service was timely and excellent, and food was prepared perfectly. I am happy to add this as a dining option once again. Well done! read more

This place is very disrespectful said they could not serve us because they did not have tables cleaned because we had 8 people. It is supposed to be a 24 hour place and refused to serve us they were not busy at all this place has horrible customer service do not go to this place read more

Slow service. Didn't receive half of my order. Terrible experience. I've always enjoyed other ihop locations. This one is just awful.

Okay! Seriously. I've been here a billion times ordered a the same thing (Split Decision) and exchanged the sausage for hash browns which of course is more cost for IHOP. The manager on duty said no. IHOP needs new management . read more

Very poorly ran restaurant. Called 4 hours prior to showing up. Mind you, we did have a party of 20, but with advanced notice, it shouldn't have taken them 40 minutes to seat us. Seen multiple employees grab walking around with menus, while they could have been busting tables. We won't be coming back. read more
