When I say this place sucks it's an understatement. This place and service was literally HORRIBLE!!!! Literally walked into a mess of plates EVERYWHERE! The food tasted like shit, the waitress walked up to us telling us that they were under staffed which was strange because there was only 2 tables in there INCLUDING my teammates and I. Both the manager didn't even try to help the waitress and was walking around the restaurant with her phone on speaker very loud. What was worse is that the waitress and manager were in the bathroom for about 25-30 minutes and when she came out THEN SHE PUT OUR ORDER IN!!!!! If I could give this place a negative score I would. I'm very upset we wasted our time..... read more

See all

One of the things that we wanted to do when we visited the States again was get a stack of pancakes and we ended up visited this IHop twice; served by different people each time. The first visit was my wife, our daughter, her baby and I. Elle and I both had a combo (2 pancakes, 2 eggs, 2 bacon and hashbrowns) - with a choice of pancake styles from original buttermilk to belgium dark chocolate mousse. I liked the look of the cinn-a-stack pancakes and Elle had traditional buttermilk pancakes. The food was good and the service was reasonable; we did have to ask twice to get our coffee topped up. The second visit was a little worse and was with my wife, our daughter, her baby, our daughter-in-law and our other grandson. Once again both Elle and I had combos but I had extra pancakes...Yeah they were that good! However the waitress got the order wrong a little with our daughter and daughter-in-law; one wanting her relish on the side and getting it on the plate instead. The other wanting bacon inside her bacon temptation omelette but getting it on the outside and covered with cheese instead. Then the waitress insisting that's what "inside" the omelette means..... The combos were pretty good however! Our grandson had Southwest scramble with extra eggs which it sounds like was pretty good too as he ate the whole thing. So as other's have said for this IHop, the service isn't as good as it should be, but the food is mostly pretty good. read more

Great food good prices fast and a wonderful staff. Great servers. My server was a Hispanic and he was great! read more

IHOP - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

This review will be in three parts: 1. The place is lovely and clean! My table was staged, the greeter was charming, and the parking lot did not have any debris or trash. 2. The food was hot, tasty, and served quickly! I ordered the build your own pancake combo. I picked the Mexican Tres Leches pancakes. (Pancakes layered with vanilla sauce and dulce de leche.) The topping wasn't layered as described, making it a little sad because who doesn't love vanilla cream on their pancakes! I picked scrambled eggs and sausage patties. I also ordered a hot chocolate (sad that it was instant, but warm and chocolatey, so it hit the spot!) to have before my food came and an orange Juice with my dinner. The total came to $12.30. I tipped my server $2.70, a little over 20%. But I should not have. 3. When I was seated by Justen C (the name on the ticket) he asked me if I wanted any warm coffee or something to drink. I opted for water until I ordered my food because it was late, about 9:30 PM. He said he would be back in a minute to check on me. 20 minutes pass, in a fairly empty restaurant with no return of the server. I called the restaurant- because I didn't see anyone except the 15 people at the door (no exaggeration, it was a party!) waiting to be seated. I chose to call the restaurant to ask if I could order. My server appeared immediately to take my order and then never came back! A different young person delivered my hot chocolate, no whipped cream, no spoon. The manager delivered my food, quickly behind my hot chocolate, so no phasing. I didn't get to drink it. They brought me bacon (ick!) instead of sausage, which she quickly remedied. No orange juice. 7 or more minutes pass- no server. There were servers sitting at a nearby table so I did the most loathsome thing and called out to get their attention and have my oj. Still no return of my server. After I finished (again- the food was super tasty!!) I waited. I got the attention of a server and asked for my bill. When he dropped it off he noticed I was on yelp beginning my review. He began to apologize, for another servers mistake. Torrey was a saving grace, so that I could leave and come home. It is daunting to go out to dinner alone. After a hard night of working- serving tables and drinks- sometimes you do not want to be social or drink your dinner. I hope that a restaurant that seems to only struggle on the service side figures out these hiccups. Remember, I CALLED the restaurant to get a server to my table. He disappeared. The response was "we were prepping for a party." Bad form IHOP. read more

It is horrible service and the waiters are so slow also I Ben here for forty munits and still have not got my food I am starving this is horrible read more

I went into this IHOP on 465 and 38th Street. The time was approximately 11 a.m. Monday morning November 11th. I was seated at a table. There are other couples around me. So to pastime I played solitary on my phone. I played for at least 15 minutes when the first two couples got up and left. They were apparently here for half an hour before me and they have not been served. About five minutes later another couple got up left they were not served . I waited until 11:30 when I myself got up and left. No waitress, no busboy, no management, no hostess on my side of the building. I Now understand why this place has a 2 star on Yelp!! read more

This place really went to shit. They lie, this is not 24 seven, and even if you happen to call ahead of time and they tell you that yes they are open, and yes they will serve you, no they will not. They'll make you drive all across town just to tell you that "they are not taking any more tables right now" even though it's not busy, and they are supposedly "open". if you do get to eat here, the service is shitty. long waits, cold food and half the things on the menu aren't available. USE to be a great place you could come to. read more

Got there on a Monday evening around 6 and I thought they were out of business given how empty the parking lot was. When we got in, there were only three other tables occupied. We were seated and told our waitress would be with us soon. After 15 minutes of nobody checking on us, we got up and left. It was a joke. read more

IHOP - Empty and still zero service. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Good was pretty good. Terrible service however. Our server, Leslie took a while to greet us and wasn't the most pleasurable. Had to ask twice for her to bring my sons apple juice & my order was brought to me incorrectly. It was kind of busy but not enough to be as flustered as she seemed. Hopefully she can receive some additional training & tips to improve. read more

I will never ever go here. Very worst customer experience. I ordered food 30 mins early and went to pickup around 11 PM. No one was in front desk. I see waitress standing, but not even acknowledging me. Very few customers inside (May be 5 ~ 8). After 10 mins of wait, I lost patience and went in to ask about my order. Response I got is to wait with no estimated time. Else go and cancel the order. What am bad experience. I like IHOP and it was my favorite restaurant for late night dinner when I was in VA/MD area. Fall Church, VA IHOP is my all time best. But after moving to Indy, I tried 3 IHOP and all are bad. read more

Having my breakfast sent back twice to get warm and come back Luke cold is pathetic.It's almost like the staff in the back took it looked at it moved it around and send it right back out it got colder every time it was sent back read more

This place was disgusting. Everything was dirty and the bathroom smelled horrid. I received a fork with old food crusted on it!!! My eggs Benedict came on a biscuit instead of an English muffin and they don't serve Canadian bacon. The hash browns were so greasy and the scrambled eggs looked burnt and old. Very poor quality, very gross. However the French toast was fantastic read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. Bad customer service. Called to place order over phone cause app wouldn't act right. I was put on hold for 20 minutes and no one ever came back to the phone. Called back, they would answer a hang up. Went to the restaurant because I thought they might just be really busy and the restaurant was basically empty. Made eye contact with a staff member and they just walked off. No one greeted me or came to the counter. read more

Kramer is an excellent manager. If you have any concerns just speak to him. He's doing his best with a young inexperienced crew. Be patient. IHOP Rocks. read more

I had the worst experience here, worst customer service so slowwww. Me and my family waited more than an hour, the restrooms were dirty with water all over the floor. The restaurant was almost empty with only 3 tables full and most of the rest were dirty with still left over food, and the workers were just standing around while we were waiting. The man came leave The food and didn't give us forks or nothing and didn't have any sauces. Won't go there again periodt. read more

10 people and every order was wrong... I told the waitress fresh blueberries not compote Egg whites and fruit . I got compote , bacon , hash browns. If your ordering off the menu it maybe ok . read more

By far the worst service I've ever received! Cold pancakes, cold eggs and the waiter? Absent. Don't bother eating here.

They have a whole lot of staff but you still get a slow service! Why hire so many people and not be able get the orders going??!! Forget "carry-out", that takes about 2hrs to get ready even if you come in to place the order! This place is a total JOKE! read more

Tried to eat here for brunch this afternoon. When we walked in there was no one at the host station. We waited for 10 minutes before someone came. During that time, two parties came in after us. When the host finally came, she started to serve the person who had come in last. She didn't know what was going on and left. Another worker came and also did not know what was going on. After being ignored and not even spoken to, we decided to leave and eat somewhere else. read more

The service was horrible waited an hour for food. Brought the food and only brought 1/2 of our order leaving our 2 year old with no food. No crayons no creamer. Only a few people in the restaurant.the restroom was filthy the toilets were filled toilet paper everywhere. No soap. We had to to to target to use the restroom. This restaurant should close. I'm calling the health department. Sad! Never again. read more

Terrible service first off I had to Wait 10 minutes before being seated Now keep in mind this was on a Monday afternoon at 1:00 o'clock in the evening. Not rush hour after finally getting seated the greeter seat me at a dirty table, the waitress apologized for him, she took my order Vegetable Omelette which comes out in 5 minutes cheese on top not melted and cold. By this time I just got up and walked out without speaking to the manager. I will not go back to this location, EVER!!! read more

Food is just okay.....Service is terrible. Have been here several times, but the results are always the same. It's not that they aren't staffed, but obviously no one is managing the process. Sat 20 minutes, finally had to flag someone down just to get a cup of coffee. Obviously the HOP, IN IHOP does not apply here. As I stated this is a consistent problem. If you come here, be prepared to wait and be frustrated! read more

My experience was terrible, the manager on the early morning shift (3 - 11 am )JOSH was REALLY rude to me and told me that if I didn't like what service I was getting I could go some where else. He also lied and said I cussed at him and I didn't after I confronted him on the wrong wait times that I was quoted. This is the location on west 38th street over the bridge!!! FYI there wasn't any cussing on my part or disrespect. JOSH asked the sheriff to ask me to leave because I called him out on his misquoted times, then BLATENLY lied on me!!! DON'T GO HERE !!! I will make sure Josh gets reprimanded. He wouldn't give me his last name but he gave the sheriff his managers name!!! read more

We showed up with probably a million people in our party and they immediately helped us out and attached a few tables and Raven was amazing at serving us with a smile and was so calm and efficient with serving us. Awesome staff, just a beautiful experience. read more

I have never been disappointed by an IHOP until visiting this location. Not only did an order for two people take 25 minutes in a quarter full restaurant, but both of our meals were incorrect. I sent mine back, and 15 minutes later I got yet another wrong meal. Our server was kind and smiley, but gave us the wrong drinks and rang up our check incorrectly as well. When I asked for the manager at the cashiers stand, I was questioned why and given blank looks like nothing wrong happened after I explained everything. The manager acted like we were inconveniencing him, but eventually removed one of our meals off the check (still leaving other incorrect charges on it). We accepted that and left, but will never be back. I would strongly urge anyone considering visiting this IHOP location to go elsewhere. read more

I'm currently sitting at this location and have been for the last 20 minutes. Without a server to stop by our table, nor anyone to see how we are doing. I'm highly disappointed and won't be coming back. If you decide to go here, please consider going to another restaurant before hand to eat something. read more

Went here for breakfast with a girlfriend it was the worst food I have ever had! They can't even make pancakes! The dough was wet! It was a mess the links were ice cold. My friend had to send hers back I refuse to send it back 2 times! Ihop covered the bill it was a complete disaster. I'm ill just thinking about it! IHOP is the worst! Cracker Barrel is much better. Never again! read more

Our server was very attentive. She remembered our entire order (4 of us) without writing anything down. The food was delicious. The restaurant was well managed and very clean. read more

The Colorado omelet was very good, and my friend had a tasty waffle and chicken combo. We got in quick around 1 pm, the waiter was quick to take our order, and the drinks and food arrived quickly. I had to ask twice for a drink refill, but otherwise everything was good. read more

One of my favorite places to come to. I usually get the same thing, which is the waffle. Food is usually hot, there has been a time that it wasn't. Service isn't as fast as it could be, but maybe they don't have enough servers. In my opinion, they do need more workers. Additionally, for some reason when you use a credit card when you're eating to go, they have to get the receipt from the back. You use your debit or credit card at the front, and they retrieve the receipt from the back? Weird. The servers can be slow even if the place is empty, but ultimately I keep coming back so it's a decent place. read more

How is this restaurant 24/7 when it's 130am and they are closed. If I was the owner of the restaurant I would be extremely disappointed missing out og the money they could of brought in tonight. I will be taking my money elsewhere. I'd rather drive 20-30 minutes out my way then go to this Ihop. read more

Nothing extraordinary about it. Its another IHOP. If you need a greesy breakfast or brunch then yeah go to IHOP. But I have to admit, they're trying to market the healthy menus, but it still tastes the same - oily. read more

I've never been a true fan of IHOP, as I consider myself a breakfast/burger enthusiast, however our server Norma gave is EXCELLENT customer service and was very professional. Despite the time of day (11ish), we were seated in about 5 minutes. It's a large building so my guess is there is rarely much of a wait. Impressed! read more

Terrible service. Took over an hour to get our food and an extra ten minutes to get silverware. Food was decent but we won't be going back again ever. Then they wouldn't take our coupon because it had to be printed. What year is it? read more

I would give a negative score if I could. I went in for the Veteran's Day meal offer, and was seated at 7:47pm, 11 Nov 2019. There were two servers caring for 3 tables, and a total of 8 adults and 6 children. I was ignored for 13 minutes until I waved a server over, and asked if I could have some coffee and place my order. The server (who was a trainee) apologized, and then continued to ignore me. The other server finally came over, telling me that she would be my server, and to ignore the other server, as she was a trainee, and "doesn't know what she's talking about". I asked for regular pancakes instead of the pancakes with the strawberries, blueberries and whip cream (my THIRD time saying this to both servers). I was finally given a coffee canister, but no coffee cup. By this time, 16 minutes had elapsed. Two tables of people and their 6 kids were leaving. The trainee came out a few minutes later with a stack of their Veteran's Day pancakes, which I had repeatedly asked NOT to have. She became very flustered. I suggested she give them away, and get me regular pancakes. She never came to my table again. 2 minutes later, the remainder of my meal arrived. By the time I had finished my meal, I still didn't have my pancakes. I decided that I had endured enough, and walked to the counter to check out. I paid $2.71 for my coffee, and left no tip. I wrote that I had NEVER had such horrible service as I had tonight on the top of the ticket. The woman that checked me out appeared to be a manager. She had walked by other tables and talked to the people there, but never came to my table to inquire how I was doing. I have served my country in and out of uniform for over 41 years - I enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1975 at age 17. One could think that I was getting substandard service because I was not a 'paying customer'. Well, there were 6 other 'non-paying customers' in IHOP that night -- the 6 children who were eating for free. ALL of the staff at IHOP Store # 3371, 6901 W. 38th Street, Indianapolis, Indiana, FAILED ! read more

Worse service ever!! Rica or whatever the girls name was, was the rudest lady I had ever met in my life!!!!! & the manager was ok with it. It was aweful! I'm driving back to the one in Avon, where the service was awesome everytime. read more

Visited here with about 15 people for a birthday celebration. I had never eaten there before. The waiter had the best smile and was so patient with our large group. I ordered the sirloin medallions and it was delicious. I didn't expect such a fantastic meal from a pancake spot lol. The menu was extensive! read more

24 hour breakfast for dinner! Yum Little disappointed in the service, I had to have someone track him down to refill our drinks.

Food takes too long to be prepared even with few customers. The drink cups are small and the wait staff check on customers infrequently, resulting in often empty drinks. The food is good but pricey for the what you get. The stuffed French toast is a small portion, but just as expensive as a large amount of pancakes. read more

12 tables were open, yet there was a huge waiting list. When we finally got our food, it came out in pieces. Grandkids are still waiting for food. 1st rule of serving:serve the little kids first!!! I will not be back here read more
