I was out on a Saturday morning & in the mood for breakfast. Everywhere I stopped by had a long wait list. I drove not IHOP & 1 other party was waiting to be seated. We were sat quickly in a both. This is not the same IHOP I used to take my children to when they were younger. Handed menu. Waitress was nice & funny. Some of the staff were arguing and using bad language. One of the male hostesses slipped & fell and started cussing loudly. The food was delivered and the vegan sausage was not good so I sent them back. The food was not warm in temperature. The French toast was good. Nice size portions. We were given plastic utensils to eat with. I asked for real utensils but never received them but I saw washed utensils on the table in the back that needed to be rolled. The waitress gave us the strawberry drink for our troubles since its was not a good experience. The waitress saved this place with her funny light hearted disposition. read more

It always amazes me that IHOP is still in business. I'm even more amazed after visiting this particular IHOP. We had a late breakfast at around 11 AM on a weekday. There were quite a few people there, but it was by no means crowded. Our section was *freezing.* It was clear that the heat was just completely not working. I've never been in a restaurant that cold. I ordered two-egg breakfast. I asked for white toast. Shockingly, they were out of white toast. I don't know how that happens, but I ordered rye toast instead. I also wanted to get a side of two sausages. This was an option on the menu, but my waiter explained that his system would only accept side orders of four sausages. This was apparently an insurmountable problem. When my food arrived, I was disappointed. If there's one thing that I could always count on, it was that IHOP would give me a nice big pile of potatoes. Not this time. The serving was measly. I was also disappointed to see that there was no toast. That eventually came out at the same time as the check. It was, like the restaurant itself, freezing. The value was terrible: $55 before tip for three breakfasts. I will say that this IHOP has some very amusing signs. There are *tons* of signs reminding you to keep a 6-foot distance. Then there was a very funny sign that I saw when the kitchen door opened warning cooks about coming to work high. Finally there was a sign on the bathroom door that said that only one person was allowed in at a time "For your protection." There were like 4 stalls in the bathroom, so this was rather strange. I wonder what happened in that bathroom! Edited to add: My wife pointed out that the sign on the bathroom is likely another Covid holdover. That's less amusing than how I had interpreted it. read more

IHOP - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Jenkintown, Pennsylvania

The conditions at this IHOP are deplorable. It smelled like cat as soon as you walk inside the building. There was mold all over the ceiling. It had no ventilation, and the floors were slippery due to the humidity. There was a patron who was walking out and fell because the floor was nasty and slippery. Every syrup bottle was sticky and dirty!!!! It looked like they had never been cleaned. The only reason they get a star is because the staff was so polite, efficient and friendly. It is a crime that they have to work under those conditions. This IHOP is located on 481 Old York Road. Jenkintown PA. 19046 read more

Ordered the cinnastick pancakes which were missing the cream cheese icing so was very dry. When asked for hot sauce our server Darius (who seemed as miserable as possible about his day so hope he's ok) brought over a bottle with barely any in it. Took forever for my wife's coffee to come out (our meals came before our drinks) read more

The food is good but the place it a bit dirty and not well kept . The service was nice bit a bit rude .

The bathroom is dirty!! Waited for my food forever then it came out wrong then came back cold !! Get it together people!!!

Absolute worst experience I've ever had at an IHOP. I miss the IHOPS in L.A. and AZ. This place is filthy. The bathroom's gross. 10 minute wait (at least) for a waitress to come to your table. Pancakes served cold. Wait staff kinda just standing around after I asked for a napkin so I just helped myself and got a napkin because no one was helping me. East coast IHOPs, I think i'm done with all of you. read more

This is my neighborhood ihop. I am impressed with the new manager as I never seen her . She is of Asian culture. She was friendly and attentive. Her servers I noticed were also attentive and friendly . Seemed much better and cleaner than a few months ago that I've been . Keep up the great work ! read more

The food is ok but the service is HORRIBLE. & I mean ridiculous. We sat there and even after food arrived we waiting for SILVERWARE FOR OVER 15 minutes. To the extent our food got cold . Ridiculous read more

AVOID AT ALL COST! It is another ghetto IHOP, wasn't expecting this in Jenkintown. Me and my family was trying to avoid the ghetto IHOP within the Philly's region, that's why we drive 30 minutes to outside of Philly IHOP but....... Everything started out good, we thought our waitress(Mysheda i think her name bc that's what it say on my receipt)was nice. Well at least better than the other loud mouth waitress. When I patronize a establishment, I shouldn't hear conversations among staffs, I should only hear other customers and the musics. My hub ask for pecan syrup, first Mysheda says she gonna check, but never came back with it. When my hub ask for second time, she says "she only got 2 hands", but this is the second time he ask you for it..... Food is nasty as well, my hub's Double Blueberry is undercooked. NEVER AGAIN! read more

This place is complacent with service and cleanliness. My server brought me cold coffee then disappeared for 25 minutes. I had to wait another 15 min just to pay my bill! This place doesn't deserve to stay in business. read more

Came in on a rainy Sunday for a late lunch and while the food was solid, the service left A LOT to be desired. We were seated almost immediately, but unfortunately that was the highlight of our service. We ended up waiting almost 40 minutes just to get an order in! The server kept passing us by to let us know she hadn't forgotten us, but it didn't really matter since she didn't take our order until that point. We were ready to leave by the time she finally came around we were so hungry. While our section was full when we got there, it emptied out significantly during the time we waited. After we finally got our order in, we sat back and could hear other diners getting impatient to finally get their check (after asking a few times) or to get something they'd requested a while ago. So, clearly it wasn't just us. The food itself, by the time it arrived, was pretty good! I can definitely recommend the new biscuit menu, they're larger than a normal biscuit but a very good flavor! But we were so tired and hungry by that point it had really soured our mood. Maybe it was an off day, but not sure I'd come back unless we were really craving ihop (and ready to wait). read more

This place was nasty I had hair in all my food!. and the food took forever to come out and they didnt even have utensils!

I was out and about with lots of errands to run. Really in the mood for breakfast food, decided to stop at IHop. I've been at this location many times through the years and it can be pretty hit or miss. Thinking that it was a week day, early afternoon, I would take a chance. There was no wait, seated right away and the waitress very nice. I ordered a Colorado omelet, pancakes and coffee. The coffee was very weak. Really watered down. The waitress was nice enough to make a fresh pot. The coffee came out much better. I asked that my eggs NOT be over cooked. I don't like my eggs stiff and hard. Well......they came out over cooked, but didn't send it back. Sometimes it's best to leave things alone if you know what I mean! The pancakes are always good though! It will be a while before I go to IHop again. read more

This IHOP has completely fell off. This food was disgusting. The wait was extremely long. The waiter didn't even introduce herself to tell us her name and was mumbling. My food came out cold and the turkey bacon took 20+ minutes to make. This was ridiculous. I normally like to eat my turkey bacon with my eggs and my eggs were even more cold waiting all that time for my turkey bacon. This IHOP is definitely not the same and I will not be returning here. This was my worst experience at any breakfast place. There was also just plastic utensils, no silverware. Don't come here. I think a better option would've been the IHOP in warrington. If I could put 0 stars I would but I'm forced to put a star. read more

It took a long time for water and coffee. Then we had to wait for a clean mug for coffee. No silverware just plastic. No rye or sourdough bread to go with the eggs. We didn't find out until we were done eating. The manager never came to check on us. The floor was sticky. The food was cold! What a mess! read more

I never write reviews, but our experience last night was catastrophic. Our waiter was really nice and tried his best, but everything else was a disaster. They're out of half the things on the menu and we were even told they're out of ice for drinks. Plastic/take out utensils were placed on the table for us and any syrup or dressing we got was given to us in to-go cups. Half the food, which came out 45 mins after we ordered, was inedible. Missing items that were ordered and received items we didn't order. Were told the chef dropped pancakes on the ground and needed to remake them??? We were also the only people there. The entire experience made no sense unless the place is about to shutter its doors. This can't possibly be a restaurant that is actively trying to stay in business. We all left really sad (and hungry)! :( read more

Ambiance: terrible. Half of the leather covered booth seats have been slashed! The tables are set with plastic 'take-out' utensils still in the cellophane wrapper. I ordered a spinach/mushroom omelet with pancakes. The pancakes were great! The omelet was inedible. The spinach was scorched and ruined the entire dish. Server was pleasant. My rating would have been ZERO stars were that permitted! read more

terrible, i wasn't greeted and as soon as i walked in they were yelling at each other then wanted me to wait 30 minutes just to be seated, never coming back again. plus the food taste terrible and it was served cold read more

It is like walking back into 1990. There is only booth seating. For a bigger person I had to squeeze into the booth it was very uncomfortable . The pancakes where under cooked, still doughy in the middle. The hash browns lacked seasoning. I was crispy one one side and falling apart on the other. The wait staff was friendly and nice. read more

Absolutely horrible service... No permanent Maitre D to handle their crowd- plenty seating but obviously Not enough staff to handle available tables. We were very disappointed- as IHOP as a franchise should represent cleanliness and family oriented service... This place offered none of the above. Cannot recommend- if you have plans or are on a schedule b/c the wait time averages 30-40 minutes. read more

I visited 5/8/19 my server name was Tierra, she was nice, attentive ...and only made a small mistake of forgetting to have the banana's inside my pancakes. Tierra checked on me a about 4-5 times while I was eating to make sure that I was alright, she smiled and didn't make me feel rushed in no way. This was my first visit here in about half a decade. Once I entered I was immediately sat by the hostess (I didn't catch her name) but she was rather polite as well. I had to take away a star because the bathrooms weren't clean...but all in all this seems to be a friendly location and I love that they offered turkey sausage links and patties....something that I noticed is that the prices here were higher than the other 2 IHOP's that's I visited this week that were located in the city. (Note: I always get the same thing everytime and my bill today was $4-5 higher at the jenkintown town locAtion) read more

wort service ever . needs new management the wait time was ridiculous even after seated wasn't asked what we would like to drink . We ended up just leaving after waiting almost an hour and a half with not even a drink read more

I wish i could give this place 0 stars. The windows, booths, floors were filthy. Not even exaggerating. There was a bug crawling on my table. I had to kill It and wipe down the table again myself. Why we still ate there???? My pregnant wife was craving breakfast and this was the only place open. My family including my wife and I all got FOOD POISONING the next day. I can not believe this place is actually up and running and approved to serve food. The staff ??? Don't even get me started. The woman slammed her hand on the counter 5 times to get our attention. It took them 45 minutes to bring our drinks. I will NEVER eat here again. I will tell anyone and everyone i know NOT to eat here. I don't know what happened to this place. It went completely down hill. The health inspector needs to be out there ASAP. They need to be closed down!!!!! read more

First time in an IHOP in the US. Make my line like is supposed to be and a person just comes in a state that she was there before me. Try to explain to the front desk person a they won't care so we have to wait 30 more min. read more

Not all IHOPs are created equal, but in this case, this one is. It's just like any other IHOP I've ever been to except slightly smaller - speaking of which, their parking lot isn't huge. Good spot to go if you have time to kill between classes and you attend college nearby at, say, at Penn State Abington. I've had their Grand Slam breakfast which isn't bad at all. I'm pretty sure the Grand Slam is their's and not Denny's, right? (In any event, see the photos I took to see what I've tried.) read more

This location is definitely in need of some help in terms of service (more training?) and cleanliness (again training perhaps). We arrived and waited a bit in front to a mostly empty dining area - it being late night. Although we observed the hustle bustle of several workers there seemed to be hesitancy (confusion?) about getting us seated. Our bewildered hostess seated us at a table that we discovered was stained with previous patrons' food remains. My eggs arrived a bit overbooked but edible. My hot tea was delicious and generous. We had to remind waitress twice about the silverware even after our food arrived. Waitress was friendly and genuinely interested in providing good experience for us. No complaints from my son & my brother regarding their food. By they said they weren't impressed either. We tipped because we liked the waitress' friendly attentive demeanor. Overall, borderline decent food but in dire need of staff knowing how to provide bare bone basics typically expected at IHOP (clean table, prompt seating, silverware). Three STARS only because of positive attitude from waitress (not hostess and other staff) read more

So I may be biased because I've never been a fan of IHOP. My son and husband like this place for whatever reason. We stop here kind of frequently because of it's location near our Dr.'s office. My son usually orders the breakfast sampler which does come with a good amount of food for 12.99. It comes with 2 pancakes, 2 eggs, home fries, 2 pieces of ham, 2 pieces of bacon and 2 sausage. My husband usually gets pancakes or French toast. They both like the food. I just get the grilled turkey bacon sandwich with tomato. Today when we went in we were told it would be a five minutes wait to be seated and we waited 20 minutes. When we were seated, we were seated in a broken up decrepit booth. This place really needs to be updated and deep cleaned. Unfortunately it seems like they only had two waitresses for about 12 tables so it wasn't their fault at all. They were working their butts off, they need to get some people in there to help them. The only reason it got two stars is because our waitress was nice and took care of us even though she was busy- we made sure to tip her well. So overall food sucks, place looks dirty and dilapidated, servers are nice. read more

We really liked the way they restructured their seating to include plexiglass on 3 sides of each booth. The staff was super nice, well trained and of course we love IHOPs food. Kudos to the staff and manager for going above and beyond during these trying times. read more

Came in at 4:40 pm seated right away, got our drinks and starting choosing our orders, ordered and immediately once we got our food (mozzarella sticks) on the side of the plate was a alive mosquito, immediate disgust. We also got pancakes and asked for absolutely nothing on it and no toppings once we received it they were chocolate chip pancakes. we thought maybe it's because of the time we arrived but this should be no reason for the bad quality food! read more

12/18/2022 Went there hungry, we had to wait for 15min to be seated, then another 20mins for waiting for food, Our eggs were cold, no cheese. Slow bad service, the Waitress would just drop off the food and not come back for 10-15 mins. At least the Manager(Lady) sat down and offered to replace the meal, and also offered to remove my $10.99 from our tab. We paid for the meal at least she offered two choices. Don't know if we are going back. Oh, the cooks in the Kitch one wit a Beard didn't have a mask on and the other guy has masks????? Counters at the Kitchen were piled up. Don't plan on going back, will need to see! read more

This IHOP is a great inexpensive spot to get clean, friendly and expedient service. During these covid times, they were clearly following social distancing guidelines, the bus crew were very particular about how dining tables were bussed and cleaned off properly. The wait staff- today it was all females, and our server Mysheda was excellent. When there was a problem with an out of stock item, the assistant manager came to the table and offered a quick replacement. The staff were laughing while on the job, and I have been here at least 20 times in the last year and I am always smiling when I leave. Even the manager "Little Ed" took a moment off his international business IHOP call to greet us and make sure we were satisfied. Yes sir, we are! Thanks to the great staff of this place for keeping it light even when there's a pandemic happening. Everyone inside and on their way in was masked, distant. Things were organized. Very well done. read more

Though I enjoyed our server, Kendra, very funny & sweet; I didn't enjoy our food. It was disgusting. It reminded me of something that I could be served in jail. The waffle I ordered was hard like if I threw it in the wind it would fly back to me like a frisbee. My eggs were hard MY SCRAMBLED EGGS WERE HARD! Sausage was pretty good.. because it's sausage. My boo ordered the steak and it was sweet like they was trying cosplay Chinese beef and broccoli.. if it were severed in Candy Land. The omelette was pretty good.

IHOP - Our food. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Jenkintown, Pennsylvania

My wife and I had a taste for some of those famous IHOP pancakes. This particular location unfortunately was the nastiest restaurant I've been too. When we arrived, we waited to be seated for almost 10 minutes even though there were only 5 people dining. I noticed that tables hadn't been clean and it smelled horrible. One of the waitresses didn't have a mask on (even though a sign was posted outside mandating people be masked). We finally were seated, and our table was sticky. Our waitress was extremely nice as well as the other waitresses. We both ordered the chicken fajita omelettes. I noticed that the cook had no mask on. When our food came my wife used her sour cream and noticed that it smelled funny and tasted extra sour. She told the waitress as to give a heads up to other customers. Our omelettes were ok but not great. When I went to the bathroom, the floor was so slick that I almost fell. Walking back to my table I had to wipe my feet on the rug as not to fall. Overall experience was poor, it smelled like urine, and the food was not good. Bright spot, all the waitresses were very nice and accommodating. *7/7/21 Later that evening, both my wife and I have felt nauseous and have had upset stomachs going into the next day. Today my wife is felt sick and I've had an upset stomach. The common denominator is IHOP. We won't be going back ever again. It's dirty. read more
