Been here many times before & the service is always friendly. You can't really complain about the quality of the food either cause it's mainly a breakfast menu! Who f-cks up breakfast?! If a cook can't make a decent breakfast plate then IHOP got problems! The only thing I dislike is the location. As soon as you step out of your car it smells like garbage (which lingers from the dump just a few miles away). Gross!!! Overall, I like IHOP. read more

IHOP - It's that time of the year again - American Near Me - Milpitas, California

The first impression iS what puts an impact on the location. We came in and were asked to sit in a corner booth when there is so much open space so we requested to sit elsewhere. Waitress came to our table and offered coffee, literally slamming the pot and cups on table and rudely asking if we were ready. I have to say that coffee was good and definitely needed this morning. Very family oriented environment...don't expect it to be peaceful cause that's not what you're going to get. Place is clean. Food was good. Well cooked and prepared.3 star was because the customer service was not fulfilled read more

My husband and I and my 7 month year old baby went in to eat today. No one greeted us! We were there for 20 minutes! My husband went to go to the host and told him we haven't been greeted. He then told the staff we need-a to be served. Waited another 10 minutes still no one. At least 8-9 staff just in the kitchen talking And staff holding hand/flirting and playing around very very unprofessional in front of a guess view this is unacceptable I will never be coming to this location again, use to be one of my favorite Ihop location ! read more

I've been doing the mobile app order and I've been loving the curbside pick up that stores/restaurants are now offering. Especially with IHOP. It's so fun and easy to order on your phone. After that, you just drive to that parking spot, call and let them know you're waiting and boom, they come to you with your order. :) Thanks IHOP! read more

I've only been here twice, but each time was a good experience. The food is good as is the service you get. It's in a good location that is very safe. So if your looking to get some breakfast while staying at a local hotel then this is a safe option for you. read more

I signed up for the Pancake Revolutions rewards program on 11/14 and received two vouchers for a free Fresh and Frooty Rooty Tooty stack at the nearest IHOP which the IHOP website determined was in Milpitas, CA: one for signing up and the other for my birthday reward. The IHOP staff and servers were unprofessional and condescending the minute I started to explain that I wanted to redeem my free stack reward. Initially the IHOP employee at the front check-in wanted to turn me away because I didn't have a printed copy and had shown him the email on my iPhone. My server seated me and gave me the manager's card with the IHOP location's gmail address so I could forward the email directly to the store's printer. She kindly printed it out for me and left it on my table as I placed my order. Once she returned with my order, she barely spoke another word to me and did not check in to see if everything was fine as IHOP servers typically do. I guess she wrongly assumed that I wasn't planning to tip on the full price of the pancakes, there was no need to act hospitable or perform basic serving duties like checking in with her customer. While I was eating at the table closest to the check-in stand, I could hear my server and the IHOP employee loudly discussing my order with perceptible scorn and actually overheard them say "So she basically is getting this for free? She's not paying anything?" This was disheartening and frankly offensive to hear. I am not a freeloader, I do not dine and dash. I politely informed them from the very start that I wanted to redeem my sign-up reward. Frankly it is rude and poor business practice to have these types of conversations about customers within earshot of said customers. If IHOP servers at the East Calaveras location have a problem with offering free pancake stacks, then they should take it up with corporate because it is IHOP that offers this reward. Her shift ended before I had finished and she left without saying a word or inquiring if I needed anything. Had she done so, I would've asked her to break a larger bill so that I could leave her a proper tip. Alas, she didn't ask. After I finished, I walked up to the check-out and inquired if I needed to pay the tax on my free stack. I was rather coldly told no (again why the attitude if the Pancake Revolution rewards is a a known program IHOP offers to its customers?). Based on my treatment and the bizarre attitude of my server and all the other waitstaff (except the runners, they were nice and professional), I left. I still had my birthday reward (which just expired 11/28) but was so dissatisfied by my first visit that I chose not to redeem my reward lest I have to return to that same IHOP location and be subjected to similar treatment. Because of the Pancake Revolution rules, I could have only redeemed my free birthday stack at the location that I had entered was my preferred location (only because the website showed that it was the closest one). Please note: I did not redeem my free birthday reward because I did not wish to return to the East Calaveras-Milpitas IHOP because of how the waitstaff there treated me during my first and only visit to the 3294 location. I will be contacting IHOP Guest Relations as I would like to speak with someone at IHOP corporate as well as posting this Yelp review of the IHOP East Calaveras, Milpitas location so that other IHOP patrons will be warned to avoid this location at all costs. read more

IHOP - Oreo pancakes combo - American Near Me - Milpitas, California

Service is very slow. Waitress took our drink order and returned in about 5 minutes. It took another 10 minutes for her to return and take our food order. The main area we were in only had 2 tables of folks who were already eating their food. It then took 20 mins for our 2 kid order of pancakes, my wife's salad and pancakes and my sandwich. From the delivery of the food until I got up to finally ask for the check we we're basically ignored. No refills on drinks. Food was fine, but service was poor and that was with a hostess and what appeared to be 2 servers working the 3 tables. There was a crowd nears the restrooms but they appeared to be a club meeting or some gathering and were there when we arrived and left. We were there on a Monday evening at 5:45 pm, and again it didn't appear busy, now I know why!! read more

I've passed this IHOP a bunch of times but never stopped by for a bite until recently. I flew back to San Jose for Thanksgiving and was craving a Colorado Omelette. My brother came with me and we wanted to try this IHOP location. The parking lot was somewhat small and crowded when we went (probably 11am). We had to wait about 15 minutes before being seated. I ordered the Colorado Omelette ($11.39) while my brother ordered the Sausages & Egg Combo (I think $7.49). He also ordered the pumpkin pancakes in addition to his Sausages & Egg Combo. It was probably a few minutes before our food came out all at once. My Colorado Omelette was good and just how I remembered it at other IHOP locations. The buttermilk pancakes were alright but I still finished them even though I was full from the Colorado Omelette. Our waiter was nice and checked on us every now and then. The interior was pretty clean and it felt like one of those places you could eat and not be bothered by anybody. lol read more

Living only a couple miles from this IHOP and having a four year old son who'll eat there six ways to Sunday, we go at least once a month. The line can get long on weekend mornings or holidays, so we tend to go in the evening. I think I've only had breakfasts there, so this review is for one type of meal only. That said, their breakfasts are cooked perfectly and exactly the way I ask for. The service is almost always perfect, even to special requests. We'll keep going back, probably forever! read more

No service, no food at all, completely ignored, we left after 30 minutes couldn't order. The vibes was low key off.

This IHOP gets packed on the weekends in the morning! I have been enjoying IHOP alot because they have rolled out some pretty good deals to get customers to come. Also a few of the servers here are real good and fast! Nice clean location! I enjoyed their burgers here with unlimited fries! There continuing to have deals to introduce more and more items to try on their menu. read more

Definitely coming back ! We haven't had a breakfast for dinner in a while . Me and my wife decided to come by. Leo our server was super nice walking in and taking our order. He was also very attentive to make sure everything was good. The quality of food was great ! They really took the time to prep our meal . Those hash browns tho !!!! We were super proud of our local IHOP ! Great late night team ! read more

We walked in at 2:15 and ordered at 2:20. It's currently 2:48 and we are still waiting for our meals. My party of 4 has sat here and watched other people eat their whole meals. Regardless of how well everything tastes, it's still an unreasonable amount of time to wait. The waitress brought out our drinks and hasn't checked on us or told us the reason for the delay once. We won't be returning :( read more

This place makes me droooool. The food smells so good, portions are great, the staff are quick and friendly, and there's a private parking lot with ample spaces. It's located in its own little "plaza" very close to the giant Milpitas plaza. I've been here a few times, and definitely haven't been let down! Plus, their new seasonal cheesecake stuffed French toast is BOMB. read more

IHOP - Toddy Apple Cheesecake stuffed French Toast - American Near Me - Milpitas, California

The idea of having breakfast anytime of the day is definitely appealing. IHOP has been a hit or miss for me but alas this location seems to have it all down as far as service and food. My family and I came on a Saturday morning. I anticipated a long line but we only waited for about 15 minutes. Our server was really cool and laid back. She came by quite often and refilled our drinks without even asking. My all time favorite is the 2x2x2. Who doesn't like double eggs, sausage, toast, and hashbrowns? Hot sauce? Yeah they've got it all. Solid 3 stars. read more

Our waiter Luis M. was so kind and attentive, and really went out of his way to make us feel accommodated.

Went in for a quick breakfast and should've left at the first red flag.. our table had a few ants . Asked to move and had to wait for 3 different staff members to even acknowledge that we just wanted to fix it . But instead we were just looked at as if we were the problem. Maybe it was the manager who came to look over at us but she didn't even come to the table either to see what the issue was or even apologize. We were given another table and this one still had syrup droppings on the table. So I cleaned it off myself since My son was hungry & we still decided to order. Foos came a little at a time and we never received the order for regular French toast until we finally stood up to pay and leave they brought the plate out , most likely so they could still charge us . Of course we were still charged for the plate that came out 30 mins after all the other plates . And this entire time we were never asked if we needed anything else or checked on. There was lots of staff so I know it wasn't short staffed and they were just getting just as we were leaving So I think we were given the low customer service because we simply asked the ants be cleaned off our table . On a slow Monday mid morning Terrible customer service dispute having plenty of staff. And busser in the am shift did not clean tables off properly. Won't come back unfortunately. Most likely wouldn't recommend . read more

This place is clean. The coffee is fresh. The staff is courteous and dressed nice. The food even came out in a timely fashion. My only gripe is the omelet called Big Steak Omelet. The meat looks more like hamburger meat but worse. In addition it has a ton of fat tissue. I do not recommend this omelet. Everything else in the omelet tasted good. I recommend going to Bill Cafe instead. read more

Very disappointed! During a pandemic, where the website says outdoor dining and when you walk up you see outdoor dining, to be told that they do not seat anyone outsiders after 4pm, on a Sunday, is absurd. I had children who are are under the vaccination age and we didn't want to sit indoors without masks.... The gentleman at the door was so disgruntled when we then placed a to go order....! read more

All I could think of when the waiter brought my "salad" to my table was ?????????????!! I paid $1.39 for some avocado to accompany my 12 diameter plate of salad. I LITERALLY only got 1/5 of an avocado. Also, the lettuce was probably bathing in ranch dressing. Thanks for the crispy chicken. No thanks for the salad. I was sad. 2 stars for nice service and good portions. read more

Terrible service! We were kept waiting for over 40 minutes for our order which was simple no frills pancake.

Very bad food service. Waited from 10 to 10:40am for our order with very hangry toddler and 1 kid and still didn't get it. It was as if the order got lost. Even when we walked out the staff didn't try to offer and retain seating and was quickly given to next. Won't recommend. If you go there make sure your order is not lost and keep checking on them. read more

It was 40 minutes till close. My friend whos mom just passed wanted waffles. So I said lets call IHOP and order for pick up. We were only a couple exits up the freeway in Fremont. We tried calling IHOP and they would not answer the phone. We let it ring for ever each time. We knew they would be closing within a half hour by now so we raced over. Upon arrival there was someone there picking up a to go order. Mind you it is now 20 minutes till close. I told the girl I would like to order and she said we are closed. I said well what about the time? She said well let me ask the kitchen. We could hear her talking in spanish and then she told us no. I was fuming. They could have made our order and had it to us and then closed before closing time but they had probably been slow all evening and had done their side work and wanted to leave early. I will no longer go to that IHOP. They obviously do not need the business. If one has business hours they should abide by them. read more

They had excellent belgium waffle and hot chocolate. That's about it though. The hash browns were burnt. The service was terrible and very very slow. It was like the folks working just did not care. Had to ask multiple times for someone to bring the check and just to get a refill for water. read more

terrible fucking management. i always have to wait at least 5 minutes to even be shown to a table even though there are barely any customers at the restaurant. i don't know if the issue is understaffing or not, but they seriously need to work on customer service. read more

We normally order DoorDash but this time We ordered curbside pick up. I called 2x to let the host know that we were sitting , parked and waiting for our food. It took 30 mins after the pick up ready time and our food was cold meaning it was left at the host /pick up table for that long. If you order curbside, make sure you don't wait 30 mins and call every 2 mins. read more

My server was sweet and was very nice and quick but the Luis o was so rude I would never come back no matter what.

Ihop has to be my favorite breakfast food chain. The customer service is great and do a fantastic job in making sure you have everything you need to enjoy your breakfast. The menu is basic and is exactly what cheap breakfast food should be like. The turkey and avocado bennie was delicious. The toast had a sweet buttery taste to it and it took much willpower to not eat all 1,000 calories of this gluttinous glory. The next time I come back, I will have to try the red velvet pancakes. read more

IHOP - Turkey and avocado Bennie - American Near Me - Milpitas, California

I used to come here a lot, but after discovering other breakfast joints, I haven't been coming here. The food is mediocre. I only frequent this spot for hashbrowns. The pancakes are flat and bland. The eggs are really watery, and the bacon is soft. The service here is really quick and what's great is that it's open really late, sometimes even 24 hours. Bottom line is that if you want gourmet food, go to another palce, but if you're looking for a palce to eat, this is definitely a good place. read more

Went here as per daughter's request. They had the unlimited pancake promo and that got us wanting to try it. Personally I was expecting fluffy and bigger pancakes as shown in the commercials but then again they say everything is 10% bigger in tv ... Including pancakes- lol, right?!?! So she got the basic order or 2 eggs, 2 bacons and hash browns with her pancakes, while I settled for just the pancakes. I wasn't satisfied with the pancakes (which is ironic for it is suppose to take pride in its pancakes at it name depicts). I didn't even finish my own stacks and let my daughter finish it all ( as she did share her hash browns and bacon with moi). I did like the boysenberry syrup compared to the other flavored syrups they have ( other choices were the regular maple, strawberry, blueberry and strawberry). The kiddo liked the blueberry better. +0.5. However, she finished all the pancakes with a squirt of ketchup... Hey, she has a more complex taste buds and I love and encourage her for it. The service was great as our server was really nice. +1 The place was clean inside so that's +0.5. The food overall was just OK so it. +0.5 Overall it's 2.5 for me and might take a while for us to come back. read more

I haven't been an "Ihop fan"... mostly because I just haven't been there in awhile. But I must say.... they are Pretty Great!!! The one over here is the one I can speak for (Calaveras location) While staying at the Embassy Suites next door I decided to order and they have Super Fast Service! Easy to do online ordering and pick up... Priced moderately as well. I no longer order from the hotel restaurant its more expensive and the food just "ok"... IHOP is it! The orders have had NO mistakes! read more

If you come to this location do not get Linh as a server. I requested French Vanilla or hazelnut creamer as I always have when I come to IHOP, Linh told me they have NEVER had anything other than Half and Half or Milk. I was just here two weeks ago and was given French vanilla creamer. I asked if French vanilla was discontinued or if they had just ran out today. Linh then proceeded to yell at me saying "We never have any vanilla" rather then go back and forth with Linh I asked for a manager which was a Mexican man in a hoodie, jeans, and no name tag. This man had a clear English barrier and didn't understand our request fully but was able to communicate that they no longer have flavored creamers but they only have half and half. Linh was very unprofessional, rude, and no longer wanted to help our table after we requested a manager. Since they only had a few waiters he had no choice. Request a waiter change if you come to this location and they seat you in Linh's sections, unless you're okay with zero customer service! read more

I love going here with my wife and some friends after we hang out when we're in town. I came here many times and the service was always great. I always come here late at night and its not crowded. Pros: I get a table pretty quick. Very fast service. Waiter and waitress are friendly. Cons: Some of the lettuce pieces in my salad were rotten. Table are sticky and dirty some times. Oh yeah! Don't forget kids eat free on Tuesday's. read more

Do you fancy pancakes? Well yesss, I do, especially eating it in IHOP. It's been two years since I started coming here and so far it's great. Appreciate the service in this facility, consistent at all times, even during late nights. Staff are friendly & helpful. Orders are served quick, soon after you've placed it. Busy facility, crowd is huge on Friday nights & rest of the weekends as well. And, they do manage the crowd quite well. Other plus factors, a) large seating area, b) decent parking lot & c) Inexpensive pricing. What is unique about IHOPS are they serve breakfast menu all day & everyday, 24/7. They offer wide variety of pancakes, crepes (both sweet & savory), salads, sandwiches, egg specialities, waffles, french toasts, beverages, desserts and what not?? almost EVERYTHING. If you have a good appetite and is accompanied by another person, then go for 'CREATE YOUR BEST COMBO PANCAKES'. I've tried it, they are amazing. It fills your hunger & craving with just the right sweet & savory mix. It usually comes with 2 pancakes - flavors of your choice, Strawberry Banana pancakes are the best, 2 eggs - can opt for scrambled, hash browns & other non-veg options (not a complete non-veg, so I will stop with eggs). They are really tasteful & delicious. EXCITING NEW ARRIVALS - DON'T MISS IT 1. Fruit & Streusel Crepes - Berry Berry Crepes & Sweet Peach Crepes. 2. Pumpkin Coffee.

IHOP - Mouthwatering Strawberry Banana Pancakes ! - American Near Me - Milpitas, California

Had the biscuits, sunny side up eggs and gravy and substituted the sausages with smokehouse sausages.... You just can't beat it when they do it right... Add some maple syrup on top of your sausages and biscuits, and ketchup on your hash brown with maple syrup.... You are in heaven... Staff is quick and gets your order properly as they should. Managed to also order a side of small peach pancake with two small scoops of ice cream, great finisher to an already amazing meal. The pancake was so soft and perfect, literally almost brought a tear in my eye thinking about how perfectly soft they made the pancake. As a traveler, It's just so hard to find an iHop that does it right... funny part was that I wasn't really even that hungry walking in.... but the food was so good I had to make damn sure to enjoy every bite. Not sure how it is during the day, but I would say the chef's in the evening made the food text book perfect. You'd be surprised to know there are plenty of ihop franchises out there that don't taste as intended. No need to worry here, these guys are pros. read more

I love ihop when I crave me some pancakes! You can always go to those fancy nice breakfast diners but sometimes you just want good food and quick. When I. Have gone here, there has never been a wake because it is so big. I prefer ihop over Denny's because it seems a lot cleaner and there are so called healthier breakfast items. I got the whole wheat blueberry pancakes with banana and it comes with imitation egg. I was absolutely craving chocolate chip instead of blueberry with bananas and asked to replace it. She was unsure at first and said she would check. I also replaced the eggs with fresh fruit and they did it all. I was so satisfied with the meal since it was everything I wanted. The pancakes are delicious!! **TIPS** 1) Dont be afraid to ask for substitutions. They will be willing to accommodate you. Great service! 2) Fill out the receipt and do a survey so you can get a free stack if pancakes next time :) 3) Enjoy! read more

If you're looking for a nice IHOP that feels a bit more like the South than it does in the hustle and bustle of the Silicon Valley, this is where you go. Milpitas is far from my favorite city. Everywhere smells like trash, terrible roads and even more terrible drivers (especially in Milpitas Square), and tech campus after tech campus, you start to feel the drabness of a 90's Silicon Valley that's trying to keep up with the newer, hip companies in the city. Instead, you're left with a rather boring town with stone-colored industrial buildings block after block. Within that is an IHOP. Now, what makes this IHOP special is by and far its hospitality. The servers would do everything to make sure your pancakes or omelettes meet expectations, and are willing to take it back to the kitchen and even check up on you to make everything okay. The people who dine at this restaurant are typically nice. There's no regard for social standing or any political agenda; everyone's here just to grab a nice breakfast. After being in the city so long, this is the sort of place that's really nice to go to and grab a nice coffee and some hearty breakfast items. Granted, it's still an IHOP, so it's not the paragon of breakfast foods, but it still gets the job done. TIP: They're having AYCE pancakes. read more
