Food took 45 minutes to prepare for the dasher. 2 pancake combos, one was made wrong. Biscuits and Gravy, which never made it into the bag. Thank you Omar, for your generous offer of 20% off the next time we eat there if you are working, it will be a cold day in hell before I patronize your restaurant again. Maybe insert 20% in your culo. read more

IHOP - Here is my cold food in the trash Omar, you guys are doing a bangup job today. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ewing, New Jersey

Ewing IHOP was disappointing compared to other near by locations. Smaller. Busier. Service poorer. Fewer menu options. still better than other breakfast places in that area. Reason to drive a little farther for better experience read more

Would rather prison food! Service was horrible, didn't get my food until an hour of being seated. On top of that, they had the audacity to forget my fucking pancakes by the time my pancakes arrived my appetite was spoiled. When I took the first bite my body physically recoiled in disgust, it was if I bit into cow feces it was that bad. The cherry on top was unbelievable amount of mentally challenged people making noises while eating. DO NOT GO HERE!!! In spite of it all the server was a absolute MORON taking trips back and forth, making us wait, leaving in the middle of a conversation, you can tell they hire pure amateurs. read more

IHOP - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ewing, New Jersey

Holy crap this was the WORST service I've ever had. I've been here for an hour and 45 min. I've genuinely never had a worse server. Never once did she come check on us or fill up our water. read more

Arguably the WORST service I have ever experienced. Got here 11:30, wasn't seated until 12, server couldn't even give us the fucking check until 30 minutes after we finished. NEVER COME HERE read more

I ordered gluten-free pancakes via a food delivery service and they surely gave me regular pancakes. This is so irresponsible. They need to be way more careful and respectful of people's dietary restrictions because the consequences of not doing so could be dire for both parties, in different ways. read more

I went at noon and the service was good, it looked clean, bathroom was clean, and the food was a lot better than expected. They played good music and I left satisfied. I got one of they melts, a classic burger, and a breakfast burrito, all excellent. It's a 5 star for an ihop but for overall experience it's a 4 star. read more

The food is good and the service for the most part is good. I like the idea that on Tuesdays and Wednesday it half off for seniors. The omelettes are well made and generous. Im surprised that its not crowded as the pancakes are better than PJs pancake house read more

I love going here. It's the best breakfast spot the food there is good services impeccable. ambiance

I wish there was a way to fix things like this... my dasher handed off the bag with no apparent distress, but this was packed wrong. Door dash won't go back and ihop blames door dash. Please get it right ihop. read more

IHOP - It wasn't just the sauce. All my food was cold. Everything was tied closed and not cause by my dasher. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ewing, New Jersey

Many years since I last visited this IHOP at the intersection of North Olden Avenue Extension and Parkway Avenue, Ewing, NJ. It looks about the same on the outside, but there has been a modest makeover within making the space appear brighter and renewed. The greeting by the staff was legit friendly, and the care provided throughout breakfast was very good. One of the servers actually came over to me to compliment me on my watch. That is a very rare occurrence. I ordered the brioche French toast from the griddle menu. At $6.99 is seemed reasonable. The carafe of coffee was another $2.49 for a bottomless mug. Still, getting out from a full breakfast for under $10, was appreciated. Yet, there must have been a little communication problem with I did not catch until my food was served. My very pleasant server came back to me after ordering to ask if I wanted blueberries or peaches with my breakfast. I hadn't originally asked for that. Nothing was said about an up charge, and I thought it was something everyone was offered with this meal. In fact, it wasn't. The extra canned peaches, caramel-like syrup and dollop of whipped cream was another buck fifty. No biggie, but I would have preferred to be told the complete deal. The food itself was good, but too sweet with the syrup they drowned the bread with. I have a lighter touch on breakfast syrup. I would return, but be sure to be prepared for the attempt to upcharge for extras I really did not need. read more

I've been to this location twice. The first time was an average morning IHOP visit. We went recently for a late dinner and the service and food was lacking. We arrived around 8:30 and the restaurant was pretty empty. There were probably only two other tables. We were seated promptly but a server didn't come to ask us if we wanted water or anything for like ten minutes. We could see both of the servers chatting next to the kitchen literally doing nothing. We ordered a couple stacks of pancakes and a scramble and hash browns. The food was tasty but it didn't seem warm. Seemed like it had been sitting out for awhile. Also after we had finished we had to wait for awhile because the servers were chatting with some customers at one of the tables. It was pretty disappointing. Probably won't be going here for dinner again. read more

This place is nasty- bad customer service, they drop things on the floor that's so unprofessional. The lady on the picture dint pick the knife she dropped until I told her to do so. They just don't care in here! So unprofessional. The people who cook don't use glove and they don't put they mask on. That's even worst!! read more

IHOP - Look close on the photo on the floor there's a home knife on the floor that lady on the picture drop it and she dint pick it up!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ewing, New Jersey

IHOP never disappoints - especially on 60¢ pancake day. This place is super average though: their pancakes, service, ambiance, and quality is overall subpar. I ordered a classic stack of pancakes with a sunny-side up egg and sausages, and the food was the most redeeming quality. Pancakes were perfectly fluffy and the sides couldn't have been better cooked. It was, however, plated unfortunately: each element was separated from another and seemed to be thrown on the dishes rather haphazardly. It didn't "ruin my meal" (I rearranged it myself), but it would have been nice to have been given something more presentable. The service seemed chaotic and stressed: maybe it was the combination of pancake day and a lunch rush, but we rarely had opportunities to interact with our waitress. We asked her to explain the deal to us a little more in detail, but she seemed rushed and distracted. She was super friendly and nice, but it would have been nice to have been served with a little more attention. I love IHOP, and I'm definitely coming again, but I'm not sure about this location. read more

Went here today for lunch during my work hours with a co worker as we had a taste for breakfast. Immediately upon entering I quickly notice that it is an extremely tight space. While waiting at the door for at least two minutes, with workers walking right pass acknowledging us, we were finally greeted and offered a table. While at the table we were greeted by a very friendly waitress who was kind and stayed with a smile. Once we placed our order we waited an extremely long time for what looked to be somewhat moderately busy restaurant. Once our food came out, I noticed only my egg omelet was the only thing to come to the table. The waitress walked away until I had to call for her attention and make her aware that my pancakes or bacon had not yet arrived. I asked her if I could have warmed syrup which she said would be okay. Several minutes later she brought the syrup but still no pancakes. Approx. 15 minutes later my pancakes came out but still no bacon. I made her aware that I was no longer interested in having the bacon. She responded by letting me know that she had already told the cook that due to the bacon being cold (I assume from her neglect of not picking it up at the station) she cancelled the order; so I was never able to get bacon. I was more disappointed at the fact that I had staggered food orders come out as a meal opposed to having everything come out at once. Finally, once we finished we waited another 20 minutes however no waitress. I had to go up to the cash register and repeat twice to what seemed to be the manager that I would like my receipt because I had been waiting for quite a while. I'm not a hard person to please but I was very dissatisfied and disappointed at my experience and will not be eating here again. Avoid this iHop location at all costs. read more

Started off as a great experience - until we shortly discovered ants crawling in our food and all around the windowsill. Our waitress neglected to check up on us, so we were unable to express our disgust. After motioning for the check from across the restaurant, we finally were greeted 10 minutes later from our waitress, checkless. She informed us that the system was broken and stated that it was acting "retarded", when in reality somebody just accidentally closed out our check. She gave us the option of waiting a while for them to figure out the issue or go get cash from the car. She promised us a discount due to the ant problem, but we were not granted one. As a waitress myself I know to never use derogatory terms while speaking with customers and if there is ever a problem with their food they should get it for free. This is a poorly run establishment and we are extremely discouraged and disappointed with this experience. Will not be coming back here! read more

Wait time was a bit long but that's because it was a busy day! The weather was fantastic so everyone wanted some good grub. But the waitress I had was very polite, patient, and fast. The food was made to perfection and the atmosphere was nice. I go to IHOP on occasion with friends or family but it's never the same one. So experiencing this one was nice :) read more

IHOP - Pumpkin spice pancakes, turkey sausages, egg white vegetarian omelette w/ fruit salad. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ewing, New Jersey

This place is disgusting. I received moldy bacon and when I returned it they gave me "fresh" bacon but the new bacon looks like it has mold on it too. Don't go here if you want to risk getting food poison. I had food poison before from a breakfast restaurant and it's not fun. Look at your food before you eat from here. read more

New Year's Day breakfast...and the place was nearly empty at 9:45. That should have been my first clue. (Especially since I had tried a local Diner first and it was so crowded, I left). Service was sloooow. The manager was doing the best she could, and they appeared to have plenty of staff...but no one was hustling. Ordered quick 2 egg breakfast. It wasn't (quick). The only thing hot on the plate was the toast. Eggs, bacon, and hash browns were barely warm. Will not be back. read more

Very friendly staff and nice environment, food good and on time, very good experience thanks to our server, not sure about her name but she has red hair thank you read more

Fast friendly service, and clean. I love IHOP! Mix a little of every flavor syrup on my pancakes, served with three eggs over medium and corned beef hash and I'm good to go. read more

The service was awful. The restaurant was empty and me and my friend didn't even get our drinks until a little before our food arrived which was almost an hour! My coffee cup had lipstick on it and I had to holler at my waitress before she ran off! That wasn't the only issue. I can go on forever. I am also still trying to figure out if crepes are served cold. I didn't even ask them because I knew I'd get a lie. Please go to another ihop. It's not worth it here. read more

My wife and I went for dinner recently. I have gone a few times for breakfast on my own before work and also done a couple of breakfasts to go for my wife. The dinners we had were very tasty. I had sirloin tips and my wife had tilapia. The vegetables were great as well one thing many places let slide. Our server, India, was very friendly and attentive. Anyway I give them two thumbs up. read more

Only place open for breakfast and lunch on thanksgiving day. Meal was awesome. Loved the egg white veggie omelette. Server was pleasant and quick with food. Will come back from breakfast. read more

The service here was pretty good. Staff was attentive even with a full restaurant. However the food was drastically under cooked. The home fries seemed old and under done. The mozzarella sticks were frozen in the center, and the pancakes were doughy. The hostess stand is an a odd spot. It makes you feel like you are in the way of everyone as soon as you walk in. Only good thing about the experience was the staff. read more

The name IHOP should be synonymous with fun and/or adventure, but it's not the case for me since I'm always disappointed by my experiences there. It was stupid to go back, but there I was. I had a breakfast platter that featured eggs and bacon, and my son had pancakes. The prices are way too high for what you get - small servings, and so-so food. The pancakes, granted, are yummy -- but they should be, given that the establishment is named for them. The restaurant is messy. Our waitress was nice, but not really dedicated to her work, which, really, I understand. No one dreams of being a waitress at IHOP. But still, effort at work, even at an unsatisfying job, is not always a terrible thing, especially when dealing with the general public. I agree with other Yelpers who were confused/cramped by/abandoned at the front entrance - the layout of this shop is weird and if you aren't greeted right away, it's awkward. There are several other restaurants not too far from this location that are definitely worth visiting instead of this one. read more

Now that this place has reopened after closing to remodel after it's FOURTH fire in five years, it sucks worse than ever! Our waitress was completely oblivious! She didn't give us silver ware when we sat down, she always forgot if we asked for something (asked for napkins FIVE times, even asked other workers and they didn't even remember!), and she got my order wrong. Not that it was a big deal because luckily I liked what she gave me. But anyways, the wait was so long because the restaurant is so small and always has been. There's barely any parking. And overall the service was terrible. Also the plating for the food was horrendous. It didn't even look appetizing. If you want breakfast, stay home and make it rather than going here. Hell, even go to Mcdonalds down the street over going here. read more

Food is great and the service is quick. The waitresses are very polite! Food was presented just like we ordered it. read more

Actually the worst IHOP we have ever been to. The food was horrible. how can you mess up eggs and pancakes? They also didn't have many items from their menu available to order. And the worst part is that we got severe food poisoning the next day. Yuck....never coming here ever again. read more

I walked in and realize they were a lot smaller that the original building Frm back in the day. The spanish waitress wasnt that friendIy. They didnt have a lactose option....ok...this is 2016....how dont you have lactose free milk or soy....unbelieveable. ..... I ordered chicken friend steak eggs over easy with american cheese. First it took about 20 mins for me to get my food. My eggs were cold and the cheese wasn't melted and my hashbrowns were cold. So I have to now wait until my eggs and hashbrowns come back. About 8 mins my food comes back out and my hashbrowns are hot but again my eggs are cold and the cheese wasn't melted....I immediately asked for the manager ...she apologize and no.....I don't want anything else except my juice ...Good day.. read more

They did a nice job renovating the place, but the service is awful. Worst of all, the pancakes were terrible - chewy and flavorless. Last time I'll come here. read more

Worst IHOP EVER! So I called to order for pickup 5 mins into being on hold I just hung up got dressed and went to the restaurant. As I walked in the manager (because she was in regular clothes) yelled I'll be with u in a moment and kept talking to another employee. Our waitress had a bit of an attitude, never brought my toast, I had to get up and look for her to get my toast! Then she never came back to ask if we needed anything else... walked up to pay and left! I live 3 mins away and will prefer to drive 20mins to go to another place to eat!!! read more

Newly renovated after a fire. Much bigger and nicer than before. Great staff and food was made quickly and was delicious! So happy this IHOP is back open... read more

Not so happy with staff. All looked like retro grunge. I understand everyone has a private life but keep it at bay please. Walked in and out. Front end looked clean. Sat down and it was dirty. Wouldn't eat there for free read more

Your typical ihop. I've never had an issue with the food. My pancakes always come out hot and fresh. Customer service is a little lacking, probably as one would expect. When you walk in, the servers look at you and walk past. And you're stuck standing in the doorway until one of them decides to seat you..a bit awkward and annoying. read more

Poor service from the door. Stood at the door for 15 mins, walked in when it was not super busy it was Thursday at 12pm. I'm pregnant and there is no more seating area, which I think was a stupid decision when they reopen so they can flip more tables. Was ignored by 2 staff members who seating 3 people before me. Food was cold the times I come in there. The French toast is horrible. They just good making basic eggs that doesn't take much flavor or time. I get the actual egg not the ready made batter. Over fried meats. Burnt has Browns. Save your money & go to a mom & pop local diner to get more for your money. read more

Terrible service. Took 15 minutes to get water. It was almost 40 minutes to get my food. Other people who sat down after me received their food ahead of me. When my food came out it wasn't very warm and my side of fruit was puny, read more

Recently had a great meal with my partner, who is fussy, but even he enjoyed it. We had dinner, and the staff were on their toes. More than twice they asked us if we needed anything, even with quite a few other customers seated, as sometimes when is busy we felt that we were well paid attention to. I have read other reviews about this establishment before posting this, and can't figure out why some will repeat dining here if their experience was not a positive one in the first place. Especially the review posted by a customer who apparently called in advance to 'pick up' a meal, when later mentioned she dined there (instead?). Again, our experience was a positive one, and recommend both the wait staff, and the food. read more

We stopped by the Ewing IHOP for a weekday mid-morning breakfast. We were seated in about 5 minutes even though there were only a few tables filled. We then waited for 20 minutes before I had to get up to ask the 5 women standing around chatting if someone would be taking our order. In a few more minutes, a woman came by to take our order, then brought us coffee. We then waited another 20 minutes before I had to get up again to find out what was going on with our order. A young man then brought our meals over. My companion's eggs were okay, but my meal was icy cold. The pancakes on both of our plates were probably left over from the previous day (or perhaps fished out of the trash?). They were cold, dry, hard and completely unappealing. I got up and asked to see the manager, who was eventually found. (Another 5 minutes wait for that!) She exasperatedly told the young man to take my meal off the bill before she left the area again - with no apology and no apparent concern. We will not go back there or to any IHOP ever again and we will tell others not to bother, as well. Completely inexcusable. We drove a 1/2 mile up the road and had a fabulous breakfast at the diner. read more

The food was much better before the fire. I love IHOP but this place should be ashamed. Got the hearty ham and cheese omelette and when it can out looked like someone threw it on the plate all falling apart. It also had a white garlic tasting sauce on it. When I asked the waitress about it she stated it was a white cheese sauce. Now I have gotten the hearty name and cheese omelette more times than I can count but never has it bad a supposed white. cheese sauce on it. I gave up at that point and just ate it anyway seeing as I was hungry and didn't want to wait for another bad attempt at a simple dish. Won't be eating at this one anymore until they get there act together. read more
