About 8pm wed night. 3 tables busy, were seated right away. Waitress was friendly. Clean establishment. Order taken quickly, senior breakfast for wife, build your own omelette for me, american cheese, hashbrowns, mushrooms. Offered salsa, variety of Tabasco sauces and hot sauces. I liked the folded then folded again omelette, compared to the other breakfast places where they just fold in half and all the fillings spill out. Food cooked to anticipation and satisfying with enough food to be just filling. Prices have gone up..but comparable to other restaurants, right in line. read more

See all

We had Jessica as our server and she was SO NICE! She made. Great experience for our daughter and for us as well. We totally recommend it. The food was great as well! read more

IHOP - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Salem, Oregon

Gotta make sure you get your sht right--I just ate a fcking label. Not just in my food, I also found some in my daughter's food, so if something happens, just know I'm gonna come see you guys read more

BAIT AND SWITCH....Oldest con game there is. They advertise breakfast at $6, then charge $7 for it. I also ordered an 8 ounce glass of milk. They charged me $4.79 for that. Thats four dollars and seventy nine cents for an 8 ounce glass of milk. Anyway, i compla8ned about it and corporate doesnt care. They know i am writing negative reviews but they dont care When a business abuses you and takes advantage, that is one thing. But to not care at all over a matter of less than a few dollars, is a total new thing. Irresponsible,no remorse, BAIT AND SWITCH. This company has shown me their true colors and all the BS theyvuse in their marketing is just that....Its BS read more

Obviously you don't come to ihop for the amazing service but we literally waited 30 minutes for our waitress to come get our check. She did not check on us after we got our food and we called her over several times and she ignored us. Probably will be ordering pickup next time. The food is not back but the dining in experience is not worth it read more

Good tasted amazing. Large portions. Service was good mostly. She didn't write the other correctly and my husband had to send his food back and wait while the rest of us was eating. read more

IHOP has really upped their game. It's been a while since we've been in any IHOP. This one happened to be at the right place at the right time when we were looking for breakfast. The food was better than ever and the service was nothing short of excellent. read more

The food is always good. Not a long wait to be seated. The manager is very kind and comes around checking on everyone!

Took forever to take out order and to give our food,people got here later than us and got there food before us.

We always wondered why it wasn't as busy here as it used to be. Seems like they are under staffed and the food quality is just not the same. The customer service was decent, but we knew after the first bites that we wouldn't be back. It used to be so much better! read more

Service was phenomenal. I worked in food service at IHOP many years ago and for a long time have not seen the kind of service I got today. We're from out of town. Misty had immediate attention to the door, meet and greet. Daniel's service to us was excellent. Other services checked in if we needed anything, but Daniel had it all handled. And then Martin (Marteen) the General Manager also stopped to check in. You know excellent service starts with excellent management. He defintely shows that. Team effort exists and everyone seemed to love their job. Thank you!! read more

I had hoped for a better experience. The service was slow to non existent and the servers were typically huddled together instead of serving. The wait to be seated took upward of 20min with a rather empty restaurant. While waiting in the lobby the floor boards were missing the floors were visibly gross and the benches were falling apart, probably should have warned us then. The new menu options of omelettes look good but honestly we came for the pancakes. The variety of stacks available is nice but even a plain stack can't go wrong with a variety of syrups available if you ask, which are also now for syrup free. They have gf options but I'm not entirely sure they actually arrived gf. So not an allergy friendly option. They have large booths for larger parties or to give your Littles the inside of the booth with their crayons and kids menu. The kids menu options are typically covered in sugar. You can take the kids cups to go but the food isn't necessarily worth saving. Feeding a family breakfast is about $65+tip * only ended up here because the original pancake house was closed with new hours. read more

Bad service unless you are Caucasian than you'd be in a good i recon. Being real honest here people way bias setting and vibe . Never will I go into any ihop establishment anywhere. Period. read more

Typical IHOP fare. Food at this location is great. No complaints there. Could definitely use some training in how to better utilize time if team members. Took much longer than necessary to get seated and the server could have done better to make my experience better. Would stop again as the food is worth it read more

they took forever to seat us. The food was raw the food took a vary long time to get to our table NEVER AGAIN read more

IHOP is IHOP and shouldn't be expected to be more than what it is. It's always there when needed but isn't the best breakfast you'll ever have. We enjoy going here, the pancakes are good. Today the service was outstanding. Thanks Joyce! One major improvement needed is upgrading the coffee, currently its nothing to rave about. The selection of syrups are nice, wish they were served warm as they once were. read more

Really great service and the food was tasty. I was craving pancakes and I went to the right place!

I paid $85 to have a surly hostess pass me off to a weeping hostess who directed me to my waiter, 'Imnotsupposedtobehereitsmydayoff', who served over-cooked chicken strips to my very hungry 10yo grandson 15 minutes after he served the rest of the table. In these times of struggle, it's hard to leave a bad review for any place serving food and dealing with humanity, but the criticism is directed at the corporation for not alleviating the struggles of their staff more proactively (as made evident by their chronic staffing issues; this is the 3rd time I've witnessed staff in this state at this restaurant). Surely a successful corporation should be able to raise wages and provide the perqs that enable hiring and maintaining adequate staff that the average Mom-and-Pop operation simply cannot? Though definitely busy, it was a fairly average mid-week lunch rush and there were at least 5 dining room staff. If they were as overwhelmed by the work - as they were making known to everyone I witnessed them speaking to - it MUST be pick up orders; whatever it was, the entire restaurant was suffering for their failure to staff for it. I am sincerely tired of being told by corporations like yours that I am required to subsidize your employee's basic needs, in addition to paying for my meal...in fact, if I can't afford to do so, I need to reconsider whether I can afford the luxury of eating out, at all. If you cannot squeeze enough profit from an $85 price tag for pancakes for 4 to provide your staff a living wage and humane benefits, maybe you can't afford the luxury of doing business, at all? Do better. read more

It's the same atmosphere as 30 years ago which I'm good with! The people are friendly but they usually need more help during open hours. I appreciate the kindness we receive! read more

The food was cold and the eggs are disgusting.Honestly the one star is being generous like way to generous

On the days when everything was frozen over and shops were closed IHOP was open my daughter and I went in to have breakfast with them and we had a delicious breakfast on French toast, strawberries and whip cream a nice hot cup of coffee that was simply delicious and by the way, my daughter does not drink coffee but she had some that morning because it looked good in my cup and it taste delicious And we had the nicest waitress. She really helped us to decide our menu to have a really pleasant experience. I mean the roads were frozen over the parking lot was just as bad we had to drive around until we found a decent place for me to be able to get out and walk without hurting myself so to go inside and to find a really fabulous waitress was amazing she was really tall by the way guys has a beautiful smile and she knows her menu you're gonna love my recommendation. Let me know what you think. Go in when you get inside sit on the left side and you'll get her as a waitress I'm sure. If not, no worries they're all very pleasant people. read more

I got the Salisbury steak and mashed potatoes that shit was fire some of the best food I've ever tasted Salisbury onion and and gravy and mushrooms on point read more

4 of us ate there a couple days ago and some of the worst breakfast food we have ever eaten.. Bacon was paper thin with no flavor.. Pancakes were so overcooked you needed a knife to cut them and they were flat & dry! Strawberry crepes were pretty tasteless.. Only really good thing were the hash Browns. Server was courteous and attentive. read more

Our server was friendly enough, and the omelets were pretty good but the grilled tilapia tasted like it was microwaved. When eating fish, it should not have the texture of eating over-easy eggs and the rice pilaf shouldn't be crunchy. The broccoli wasn't bad, after you season it yourself. Maybe their cook is new, maybe their cook is lazy, maybe their cook is high, that's not the reason we will never go back. The reason we will never go back is because after you complain about the food and clearly don't eat it, for them to charge us full price for the meal was a move that only a badly managed restaurant will make. Honestly, Denny's has more class then the Salem IHOP. read more

There was no wait to get a table. Our server was courteous and pleasant. Food was yummy and fresh. I trully enjoyed strawberry banana French toast. read more

IHOP - Strawberry banana French toast. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Salem, Oregon

My husband and I had breakfast at this location last week, and it was wonderful. We did have to wait quite a while to be seated, but after that the staff was very attentive and our waiter was very friendly. Our eggs and pancakes were fresh, hot and tasty! Breakfast meats were okay. It has been a long time since I have actually finished my pancakes at any restaurant. These were THAT good. We will be back! read more

Horrible service. Wasn't even purchas for myself. I was buying lunch for customers. Couldn't call order in. Then they forgot toast. Then ran it under another ticket. I had to use my personal card for that so I didn't have double charges on my company card. I get better service at Subway. Not happy. Won't be shopping here again even if it's what my customers want. I'll flip them to something else. read more

Had iHop for breakfast today with family. Ordered chicken fried steak and eggs. The meat had gone bad and was not able to eat it. Advised wait staff and she seemed uninterested and offered no discount on serving bad meat to customers. Will NEVER return and will tell all friends and family as well. Have never had such bad service regarding inedible food. read more

Awesome food great service. I absolutely love their chocolate pancakes with chocolate chips.

Probably the last visit I will make to this location let me explain why. 1st- after being seated I watched the waitress seat two other tables she never returned to my table to take my order I set my timer and 15 minutes later after taking orders for the other two tables I had to ask the hostess to get someone to take my order strike one 2nd- I ordered eggs benedict the hollandaise sauce tasted like it came out of a can and my hash browns were cold I was willing to let that go 3rd- one order was the breakfast sampler and there was hair in the scrambled eggs freaking gross 4th- my grandson ordered the children's pancakes and that plate cost $9.99 really for a kids meal? 5th. Why my waitress was more than willing to check on everybody at every table around me never once did she come and ask me how my meal was or if I needed anything else So due to the lack of communication I simply wrote on the receipt that IHOP keeps that there was hair in the eggs I didn't bother to complain about the rest because I was sure it wouldn't do any good anyway. I'm 63 and they had a deal going that if I bought a full price meal as well as two other entrees which I did buy I would receive a senior discount Not only was just not applied to my bill but apparently the waitress didn't understand when I told her what I wanted. So consequently there was no tip left do to the complete lack of service and the waitresses inability to understand the simplest of request. After taking my money she returned and said "oh I'm sorry about the eggs,would you like another order"? No what you should have done was compensate me for the price of that meal! To top that off to feed two10 year olds and myself it was a little over $45 read more

IHOP - Tastles hollandaise sauce - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Salem, Oregon

Was there on 11/25/2021 for a quick lunch since my normal place was closed for Thanksgiving. There was a long wait to get seated, though I can overlook that due to current COVID mandates and such. However during my 30 min wait, I saw multiple staff coming out front of the restaurant to smoke, instead of out back like is normal for the industry. After being seated, I soon after ordered a drink (hot tea) and my food. I was brought the wrong tea, but hey, I like most tea, so no biggie. My food came in a reasonable amount of time, however upon receiving it, it was already lukewarm, verging on Cold. (Breakfast sampler, so it should all be hot). Again, I try and be patient, I know COVID is still making things hard. However what bothered me most was the staff constantly talking among themselves, at full volume where everyone could hear them, about how insufferable other coworkers were, or how badly that table tipped, how bad they needed to go out for a smoke, etc. Going to a large chain restaurant, especially one I've been to several time before, I don't expect much above the bare minimum, but this was an uncomfortable experience, even for a bloated chain establishment. read more

Where's the Manager? I visited this restaurant twice this week while having my car worked on at Tire Experts next door. Both times were very disappointing as far as the service goes. The food wasn't too bad for eggs and bacon (how hard is that?) My first visit on Monday I was there for two hours and watched a "comedy of errors". Servers were a group of inexperienced, barely trained 20 year olds. On top of that, I was charged 2 x's on my debit card for the same breakfast. Today, on my second visit they were barely busy but I sill had to wait 14 minutes before anyone asked if I wanted coffee or juice. No silverware when my breakfast arrived (why not I ask?) A kind of "I don't care" attitude seems to be the common thread among the employees. Kids eat free here but don't bother with this place if you have a choice. You'll be disappointed I guarantee it. Never saw a Manager once on either visit. Who's running this place anyway? LOL I w rote a comment on my receipt "more training is needed" and today I wrote "where is the manager". My husband and I have both experienced restaurant service and this is atrocious. read more

Ordered berry crepe breakfast with crispy hash browns and scrabbled eggs & bacon. Crepes wee flavorless got maybe 10 small strawberry pieces on top , crispy hash browns were partially burnt . Very disappointed. Also ordered Chicken fried steak breakfast. Hash browns partially burnt , not a lot of flavor in this meal. Ordered curbside pick up was there a couple minutes early, checked in and it took awhile for them to bring the food out. Food was barely warm and seems like it had been ready for awhile . They were not busy at all. Haven't been to I Hop in a while because last time we both got sick after eating there. Won't be giving them another chance. This was my Mother's day breakfast and boy did I make a bad choice. :( read more

I Had An Amazing Time Going This Last Sunday With My Girlfriend, The Server Was Kind And Kept A Smile On His Face Which Made The Experience That Much Better Since This Was Our First Time Going To IHOP! The Food Came Out Quick For It Being As Busy And It Was Absolutely Delicious, The Atmosphere Was Nice And Made Up For The 1+ Hour Wait Time. All In All I Would Give This Place A Solid 4 And Cant Wait To Go Back. read more

Our server was Great!! The " I'm in charge now I'll get this straightened out lady" has no people skills at all. I found out her name is Tina! There we're 6 couples waiting. There we're 8 EMPTY CLEANED TABLES!!! But according to her you don't seat people without silverware Really news to me and I am from a restaurant family! What the hell happened to menus, water, and your server will be with you shortly! Then you bring silverware, more coffee or water, take order. The EMPTY silverware tub should have been kept behind counter with a person wrapping and filling it up and one filled up for backup. Ordered and then told out of Avocados Wow !! Then also heard her yelling at kitchen help, I think the Hostess was in the red shirt, she kept running her all over the place, dishes, cleaning tables, going back into kitchen. It was terrible . The people seated after us left! While patiently waiting to be seated 29 minute wait time by the way we got to hear about her Aruba trip while standing at the hostess station barking at everyone else and telling another worker that 4 people did not show up !!!! Well I probably wouldn't show up either if I had to work with HER!!! Very very unprofessional. read more

Sat waiting for service 30 minutes. Aggravating. Finally just left.

Wait was long on a weekend which is normal. Seated after 20 mins. Took long time for our waitress to come to us. Even for drinks. So we decided to order drinks and our meal in case it took way to long. read more

I came here with family on 5/12/18 in the evening. There was only 2 servers working and 1 occupied table besides us in the restaurant. We got seated in the back with no drink order and was left and forgot about by our server. Both servers was talking and laughing and forgot we was seated in the back until I looked over at them and they cought me looking at them. Our server then came over to take our drink order and our food order at the same time. Service was fine after that. Food was fast, hot, and good. The reason for only 3 stars for this review was because a customer should never be forgotten, especially when there is only 2 tables in the entire restaurant. read more

So my girlfriend and I decided to get some ihop on Christmas and we had ordered online for a quick pickup. The restaurant said 1:30 ready for pick up and we came a little bit early to confirm our order and it's been more than half an hour and we've still been waiting while other people get their orders and find it a little unfair and we just got told to wait and the goddamn crepes didn't come with no goddamn strawberry's or whip it was bad mane read more
