It was National Pancake Day today March 3rd and visited my local IHOP to enjoy the free short stack pancakes. I got here between 2-3 in the afternoon to get a table before the made rush of everyone getting out of work and school. As I was leaving the crowds were forming waiting for tables. It came with three big pancakes and they were very light n fluffy just the way I like them. Cooked golden brown and consistently cooked to perfection. The service couldn't have been better. But I get it being the busiest day of the year. Can't beat a great deal Happy National Pancake Day! read more

Friendly service with a bottomless pancakes with a variety of sauces. The spicy poblano omelet was tasty but relatively mild in flavor, no worries, hot sauce to the rescue. Coffee served with personalized carafe was perfect since the air conditioner was working overtime to cool my cup of joe. Don't sleep on the biscuits, they might not have thw structural integrity for any filling, they are tasty with butter and drizzle of strawberry syrup, IMO. read more

This continues to be our favorite local bfast spot. The servers are mostly long time employees so they know what they're doing and are efficient. Our Vegas, bacon and hash browns were cooked perfectly. Their pancakes are always the best! We use their app and generous loyalty program and this visit got a free shirt stack of pancakes. Excellent service and yummmy bfast!! read more

Oh no! Customer service and honesty are completely lacking. Restaurants says open till 3 AM. Arrived at 1:55 and was told we stopped seating at 2 AM by loud unruly employees blocking doorway. It wasn't even 2 AM yet. The employees didn't wanna work. Clearly. The kitchen didn't wanna work according to the people at the door. I didn't know kitchen's work! Clearly either the corporate policy is to deceive people into driving here in the middle of the night only to disappoint them or the employees simply lie so they can go home early. Either way this is the only IHOP this has ever occurred to me at and I've eaten at hundreds around the country. This must clearly be the worst. If this is any indication of how dedicated to their work, the employees are I would advise everybody to stay away. read more

The single egg photo on the wall is so iconic to me ever sense I was a young man. The service is pretty cool too I guess read more

Service - quick, fast, and friendly! Everyone was very welcoming from the moment you step in, to when you leave. Ambiance - open space, but wasn't too rowdy. Food - so many options to choose from, i haven't been in a long time. But i was so happy to see the range, i couldn't decide on what to get. Their southwest chicken bowl was delicious Drinks - I ordered a coffee, usually i ask for honey but they ran out. It was okay I went for their sugar/cream instead. Location - in a busy area, but parking wasn't hard to find. & once we arrived we only waited 5 min or less!! read more

Went on a random weekday and it was very busy at 11am. I think they were a bit short staffed so we had to wait a few minutes to sit but once we did the service was super fast and efficient. Honestly the quality was better than I remembered and both my 5yo and myself were very happy with our pancakes, bacon and scrambled eggs! read more

Tina from the Manchester ihop location is without a doubt the worst server I've ever experienced. She wasn't attentive at all and totally ignored me and my kids to tend to other guest who was of the same color as her. Black people money is green just like any other race smh I've never felt so humiliated an disrespected she wasn't worth the 3 dollar tip she was given fire her immediately!!!! read more

Stopped in for a late lunch and were seated immediately. Decided to order breakfast instead of lunch. Ordered two eggs over medium, hash browns, rye toast, and eggs Benedict. Waited for what seemed like a long time when our server came out to say they were out of English muffins and what would I like as a substitute. Chose sourdough toast. Food finally arrived with the eggs Benedict looking not quite right. Even through the hollandaise sauce I could te the eggs were overcooked. And cutting into them proved I was correct, pretty much like hard boiled eggs. Server did offer to do something else for me but usually doing that means they are rushing the food and it could be worse than the original. The sourdough toast was toasted on one side, both sides would have been good. The bacon for the eggs over medium was asked to be cooked extra crispy but it was just barely cooked. Fortunately the bacon with the Benedict was crispy so a swap was done. Home fries with the Benedict were asked to be extra crispy but that didn't happen either. Our server was very pleasant and tried to help as much as she could and to her credit took off the Benedict off the tab. Was also told the manager would stop by but that didn't happen. Very disappointing meal and not sure if there will be a return trip which is unfortunate as they usually do a good job with breakfast. read more

Went here on a Sunday at 10am. Placed our order. Nothing fancy...eggs, bacon, homefries and pancakes. Waitress was nice and got our drinks right away. 15, 20, 25, 40 minutes passed and still no food. The 4 other parties that got seated after us got their food and the MANY to go orders were fulfilled but we were forgotten about. We left and went somewhere else. Won't be going back. Issue is the cooks are bombarded with to go orders and take those over the in house patrons. Not fair to the in house patrons or the servers looking for good tips. read more

It was National Pancake Day when I went here. Great food with pleasant employees who were courteous. Service isn't all complaining! They do serve new fish & chips which makes Friendly's a competitor as they also serve that entree as well. That's what I had alongside the free stack of pancakes I had on National Pancake Day. It's one of my favorite actual chain restaurants of all. I've been to this location multiple times since Applebee's was originally in that building before IHOP took over. read more

About what you expect. Basic service, decent food, old atmosphere, high price. I'm kind of running out of local breakfast places to try. I've had my fair share of chains, so when I go into these types of places I don't have high expectations. I go into this specific location and the single server was busy running orders. After about 5 minutes she runs over and seats me. I'm guessing this specific location might have a bit of a staffing issue. The decor, very much out of the early 90s. Gives me a bit of that TGIFridays or Sizzler's vibe. Low-backed seats, neutral color tones, very low divider walls, those big tube cushions that line the seating bench. It's old, but within my generation so I didn't mind it much. Didn't see anything interesting on the specials menu, so I opted to do their low calorie breakfast option. Figured I would see how their protein pancakes match up to the real deal. Also get some protein in and not ruin the days calorie bank. The eggs and sausage come out first. Both swimming in a good amount of oil, which kind of negates the healthy aspect of the dish. Nothing is seasoned, so it was up to me to salt, pepper, and ketchup the heck out of everything to get it to a decent standard. Eggs were generic egg whites, the plant-based sausage patties had a decent flavor to them. Unseasoned, but a hard sear and a decent texture. Pancakes came out after. Server was kind enough to inform me that they screwed up the pancake order and sent out the regular stack rather than the protein stack. I appreciate the honesty, and she was really busting her hump making sure the 15 people in the store were served all on her lonesome. So no faults on the server. When the protein pancakes come out, they have two decent sized mounds of whipped salted butter right on top. Pretty sure those are not part of the menu calorie counts, but those are easy enough to remove. Do a little drizzle of full sugar pancake syrup, and give them a try. Not bad pancakes, all things considered. Fluffy enough, tender, they don't feel like a diet food. Granted, they don't really have decadence either. But overall they are a solid pancake. Bill came out to 18 bucks including the coffee. So it's high for what you get. If you want some generic food or manage to use their app to score some freebies, then this place is a spot to get some breakfast. It's not great breakfast, but it's edible and will serve its purpose. read more

The Ambience is perfect. The service was exceptional. The food is very delicious and tasty. I definitely will visit this restaurant again!!

The ihop in Manchester is more times than not a hot mess we would go a few times the rarely have all the ingredients when you order something, some times the food comes out cold. It seems they are not supervised. We ordered something off the table tent and we were informed we could not have it for that price, I guess it's a good idea keeping eople coming back. Seems like most time the inmates are in charge of the asylum. We have no plans of going back. When you work all day the last thing you want is drama I like their pancakes but even at that it's not worth going there read more

Craving pancakes this morning took me to the place known for them: IHOP. It's been a long time since I've been there and the place was pretty busy mid morning on this very cold Saturday. It's a big place though, so tables were available. Coffee was decent & not weak - they put a small carafe on the table for you to take more as you need. It was clean & comfortable inside too. Pancakes - I had the regular buttermilk ones - short stack (3 medium sized ones). Fluffy, good taste but pricy - just under $9. But it's a pancake place, so they have to make money from them, right? Our server ( wish I got her name) was so nice, and had us laughing. Nice way to start the day. So I'll go back, but probably not for a while; next time I get a pancake craving. read more

I had a craving for pancakes and ordered the protein pancakes, after my food arrived I took a few bites and I kinda felt like it was undercooked so I cut through the last pancake to find a pool of liquid batter inside Wow! the waitress offered me another batch but I declined.... I sat there until my sister ate her meal and then left without lunch, so disappointing! That cook should be washing dishes not cooking on the grill! A bad experience won't bring me back there for sure. read more

Sitting in the old Applebee's building in the small plaza at the east end of the Buckland mall this place might be easy to miss if you aren't looking for it. I've been here quite a few times since it's been open and as some reviews have stated the service can be hit-or-miss at times. That being said, I last stopped here for a semi-late breakfast on a Saturday and it was busy as you might expect. The manager was working in a number of areas and she kept everything running smoothly. From clearing and seating tables to taking care of the steady stream of dine-in and carry-out customers she was going above and beyond for the customers AND her employees. The wait was not bad and the service was quick and friendly despite the rush. Food arrived as ordered and without too much wait. Because this is a chain I start with a default four stars and even though I've had a few less than ideal experiences here they are putting in the work needed to make it better. For that they deserve the "A" for effort and a 4.25 star rating. read more

We came to visit from out of town and we decided to stop at IHOP. The place was packed, our order came out at a reasonable time but our steaks were extra well done, I asked for the manager and Anjel, came out and he took care of us he was very professional. The waitress was very professional also. That's what matters at the end of the day, thank you guys. See you soon! read more

Has a poor experience. My Transgender girlfriend and were ignored by the waitress for 20 minutes. I had to talk to manager

Simple, Easy, Fast. IHOP is a great food chain and has a variety of options. I love how easy it is to get a seat and the service is always good here. The varying omelettes are good, or so I have heard. The simple two eggs with cheese and hash browns are always a good option here and is consistent with other chains in the state. It is completed with orange juice. One thing I will say is that their machines were down but they seated us pretty quickly. It is a nice place and the atmosphere was just fine. read more

So, it's a Friday morning at 10 am and my friend Rose & I decided to go out for breakfast at IHOP. I guess everyone had the same idea! We got seated so fast however, which was nice. Unfortunately, the manager came by and moved us because he had a party of 25 coming in. We got seated by the window instead. *ROCKSTAR SEATING* SERVICE WAS SUPER FAST!! The waitress was nice & friendly. The Wild New Wildberry Lemonade Splasher was very tasty and Rose's coffee was fresh. We both ordered breakfast. I ordered the New Lemon Ricotta Blueberry Crepes, OMG! They were delicious!! Rose ordered the Western Colorado Omelette. She said it was delicious! For sides we had Turkey bacon strips, now really who has Turkey bacon any more? It was great also! Rose got bacon strips cooked a Specific way, it was made according to her directions! The lay side we got was Crispy Potato Pancakes, so good, just wish they had apple sauce with them also, bummer, I forgot to ask. My only complaint because I don't know if she's aware but my glass was broken by the lip, like someone 'scooped' the ice with the glass. So she took my cup & brought me another cup of the wild berry lemonade in a plastic cup, ice included! Even though I asked her not to include the ice. I did explain why also. I asked for another one to go and made her leave the previous one on the table. let's see if 3rd time is a charm? Well, she finally got it right. I'll be back. I love IHOP! The kitchen order was spot on!! I have no complaints at all! Yum! read more

IHOP - So many tables yet I can't be seated - American Near Me - Manchester, Connecticut

Service: There was only one girl working! I felt awful for her, she was the only one waiting tables. It took forever for us to be seated, and then it also took a while to get our order in. After that our food took a reasonable amount of time. She was so stacked with work it was hard to catch her to ask for things. She even mentioned they only have one person working at nights, even though it can get busy. Ambiance: Cold! Music was a little loud. Other than that it was very clean- they even had a guy that was only cleaning tables. Food: I had the Cinnamon Bun Crepes with strawberries. It was pretty authentic- it tasted exactly like the Pillsbury dough cinnamon rolls, different texture but pretty close. I also had the Scrumdiddlyumptious Strawberry Hot Chocolate. It was so sweet I couldn't finish it. I was suspicious when it said "strawberry syrup" that it would just taste like a regular hot chocolate- it does not. read more

IHOP - Yuck food - American Near Me - Manchester, Connecticut

We went on a Sunday evening. There were 4 couples already seated, so the restaurant was NOT crowded. There was only 1 waiter/host visible during our stay. The service was slow, so I guess there wasn't a lot of kitchen staffing either. The table and condiments were sticky from prior use. The meat, both link sausage and bacon, were far from hot. The pancakes and scrambled eggs were good, but the english muffin was also not warm enough to melt butter. This was the 2nd and last time we visit this IHOP. I assume it's a management issue since others we have visited are very customer friendly. read more

My girlfriend and I came here a little before 11 a.m. on New Year's Eve for a quick breakfast. We waited only 5 minutes to be seated which was nice. The host was nice and friendly; the waitress was also nice. She got us coffee and water, then took our orders. I got the combo: eggs, sausage, bacon and pancake; my girlfriend got an omelette with toast. It wasn't a big order or anything, but we waited 35 MINUTES to get our food. While waiting, the waitress never came back to check on us or explained why it took so long. Two other tables which sat down after us even got their food before us. Finally the food came, the waitress still didn't apology or explain why it took forever for the food. The food was ok, nothing special. Well, if you want a quick breakfast, this is not the place for you. I don't think I will come back, even though this iHOP is only 5 minutes from my house. read more

At arrival, there wasn't a wait or a line. The seater was working on sitting someone down as we checked in. We were informed that they would be right back to seat us. We sat down to help as a party of 4 walked in and waited in line. The staff immediately took them and sat them. Waitress: The waitress, Brianna, seemed extremely unhappy and frustrated. She kept slamming things on the table and constantly forgot items such as the drinks, napkins, and utensils. The waitress did not check up on our drinks for refills or ensure that everything had arrived. Food quality: I ordered a tropical mango twist and got a lemon twist soda. We also ordered two Oreo milkshake that came out extremely messy and not made the way that it was portrayed. The whip cream was melting all over the cup and there seemed to be strawberries in the cup. In terms of food, we ordered a Mexican churro pancake and got a Tres Leche with whip cream half on and off the plate. The regular breakfast scramble was not appealing as even the eggs were overcooked and bacon was burnt. On another note, when the churro pancake came out, it looked delicious ! read more

Not the busiest IHOP you've ever seen. Maybe everybody is looking at the two star review. I'll give it a three because the Tres Leches pancakes totally rocked. Cheap bacon, the eggs might be real but...I'm guessing, the hash browns are about the same as Dennys. Service wise, if somebody notices you standing at the door waiting for a table, and you haven't left already after waiting five minutes, then you should be alright. I haven't experienced any of these horror stories about 30 minute waffle waits, it's usually not bad. Waitstaff always seem friendly enough. read more
