First off, I want you to know I have been eating at this IHOP since I moved to Santa Maria in 1998. That was the year my wife and I bought our house in town, located about 2 miles from a place that has the best pancakes I have ever tasted. I love pancakes and there is no place that makes pancakes like This IHOP. What the great thing is that you can order them any time. I am 85 and my wife passed away about 5 years ago. I quite driving about three years ago, so I don't go there as much as I use to, but I have three old friends that get together for a meal once in a while. One especially, I call him my breakfast bubby. We go to the IHOP every two or three weeks. He has one special pancake breakfast and I have another one. I have the 2X2X2. It is the 2 pancakes, plus 2 eggs, and 2 pieces of bacon. Sound good? It is! I ask the waitress to put my eggs on one pancake and then put my 2nd pancake on top of the eggs. All I have to do is spread the butter and put the syrup on. I just had it two days ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My other two buddies enjoy all the different items on the menu. Miguel is always around greeting the customers. He is quite a guy. I have known him when he used to be a waiter when my wife and I first started going to IHOP. read more

Great food and service fantastic server. Went 2 weeks in a row it was so good. Will definitely be back

Pretty nice and clean facility. Service was good and fast so I got served quickly. Prices are a bit too high in my opinion for a chain restaurant like this or any other one tbh. And even though I only ordered cinnamon dippers which were 5$ after tax I still feel the other positions are overpriced. Other than that nowhere in the restaurant can you find napkins except the sliver ware it comes in so I had to ask a waitress - she was really nice. The cinnamon dippers themselves were hot and crunchy - loved them read more

Grabbing breakfast before hitting the roadtrip. Food was good but the service got them a 5 star review. Our waiter Adrian was awesome! He was very friendly and very attentive to our party. Our glasses were never empty and he checked on us often. If you get a chance ask to be seated in his area. read more

Management really went above and beyond to make this ahead of order time. Will definitely recommend coming back here. Place is above average for space and has super chargers available near by. Food was consistently with advertisement. read more

IHOP - Sprinkle full stack pancakes. Service was above and beyond! - American Near Me - SANTA MARIA, California

We always come in the off times, and we love how nice everyone is here. Easy, inexpensive meal choices-plus they now offer homemade tortilla soup-it is SO GOOD!! It's a great spot if we can't decide on what to eat, as there's a bit of everything!! Sometimes, you just want breakfast for dinner :) read more

Bomb food again. Tried the Big Farmhouse Break"feast" off the new menu. It's a lot of food and hit the spot. Thumbs up for JD's service. read more

Came on Christmas Day and it was so great , service got us seated quick , server was with us almost instantly and was so helpful and quick , food quality was sooo good unlike some I've been to . Food came out so quickly too especially for it being Christmas Day. Thanks read more

First time I've been to an IHOP in years and I forgot how good their food is. The Santa Maria one was clean and the food was delicious. The omelets are perfection, the way the raw is so thin and rolled up with tons of filling. I got a veggie omelet and it was my breakfast and dinner. Priced not like the old days but definitely worth the money. Service was excellent and fast! Wasn't as crazy about the pancakes and wish I would've got the hash browns. However, my husband enjoyed the pancakes this morning. Funny how an old throwback was still as good as I remembered. read more

Tried the Cheesecake Pancakes, topped with Strawberries and sauce. Two pancakes for $7.49. The pancakes were dry, inside and outside. Cheesecake was minimal. ***Mgr did stop by and told me that they Don't use Butter or Oil to fry the pancakes. The batter is poured onto the griddle and Fried. Have gone to IHop in La Quinta, and never had this happen. Dissapointing. Ambiance: The Kitchen is in the center of Reastaurant , and staff was very noisy. This was at 11:30 am. You can hear dishes clattering constantly. read more

IHOP - Scrambled eggs, hashbrowns, sausages - American Near Me - SANTA MARIA, California

I had went to go pickup after my Spanish Mexican grandma ordered the moment I got there a guy named Spencer's he is a white man bald I told him I came to pick up a mobile order and he said "shouldn't you be in school?" And as a guest no one should question I came to eat not to be questioned then he looks at my clothing and says "wearing pjs" but in a weird way which made me feel uncomfortable he wouldn't stop looking at me weirdly I asked for my order but he was just there smirking after he gave me my order which took like 10 minuets he says "don't complain " I will definitely not be going back to this ihop ever again read more

Today we wanted to go to IHOP for the hearty wheat grain pancakes, It's been about 5 years since I last stopped by, today not too many people on Monday at 8:10AM, got a seat quick and the server gave us a great tasting hot pot of coffee. To our surprise the harvest grain pancakes have been eliminated so I ordered the Lemon Ricotta Blueberry Crepe Combo with 2 scrambled eggs, 2 sausages and hash browns. The crepe tasted like a flour tortilla with cream cheese filling and cake icing on the top, the separate blue berries were good. The eggs and sausages were good, the hash browns were dry and chewy. The server was excellent, she deserves a raise! Other then that, if IHOP wants customers to come back, then I suggest bring back the Harvest Wheat Grain pancakes. read more

Morning. Theirs nothing good about it. I woke up starving and craving breakfast. To my surprise, my breakfast felt and tasted like yesterday's cardboard. Very rough and dry to eat; and once I tried it, it felt as if someone had taken it out the microwave . Very disappointing, overall ihop DO BETTER. read more

First time at IHOP! Service was great, food came out in a timely manner, and the food was good! I enjoyed a bacon avocado burger and my husband had a stack of pancakes along with eggs and hash browns. It was enjoyable! The only downside was that the prices seemed a bit high on everything. read more

We went to IHOP this morning for a quick breakfast. Now don't underestimate IHOP our service Stefani was fast to the table to greet us and she helped us navigate the menu to help us find what we had come in for. She got our order and we where chatting and BAMB the food was there! I said wow that was so fast and unexpected! She smiles yes it is fast! We started eating I got French toast scrambled eggs with bacon. I was not liking the bacon. Stefani was right there and got me some sausage instead she was so accommodating and extremely nice about the whole thing! My French toast was huge and my scrambled eggs where good my honey had the omelette with pancakes he enjoyed his food as well. Now for a 12 dollar meal it was pretty good but you add on the speed and the above and beyond service it's worth coming I for.This place was really hoping! It was busy yet they still managed to give us a great dining experience! read more

You can't go wrong with IHOP and their pancakes and omelettes. Service is ok depending how busy it is. The location is good. The ambiance can be a little loud depending if it's busy or not. read more

Haven't been here in years, mainly because it always looks packed in weekends. We were seated quickly, served attended fast and friendly. We let them know of some butter that had spilled in the floor from a previous client and they cleaned it up ASAP. There's this guy Jared who is awesome, kind , compassionate and has a bright personality-thank you for making our experience so lively. read more

Santa Maria right off the 101 freeway IHOP is a convenient food break get away from the frequent visited fast food joints you normally would attend... restaurant was clean and staff was very eager to be of asssitance... food was very good And was brought out quicker than I expected. Only mistake in an almost flawless performance was a missing order of pancakes... it was coooooo we were full at the end anyway! All in all we say 8.75 out 10... O yeah! We were surprisingly greeted by a supervisor named Miguel who thanked us for coming and encouraging us to apply for some rewards card or points...I dont know I forgot cuz I was too full!!!! Good looking IHOP! read more

Quality chefs. Service is okay doesn't know an supa when he sees one. Not sure if he is ready for an AMG

Ordered a steak it came stone cold, then told them to fix it they then cook everything to a rock status. Paid and left

Short and sweet review. Got in and greeted and seated pretty quickly. Restaurant wasn't that busy but instead of seating us in a spaced out booth they sat us next to another family. There are partitions but still, why not space people out if you have room? Waitress was friendly but really seemed like we were being rushed to eat and leave. Probably 5-10 mins after getting our food she brought our check without ever asking if we wanted something else, we didn't ask for the check either she just brought it. After we paid, still eating our food, asking if we needed anything else as if saying "why are you still here". There wasn't a line out the door or anything so not sure why the urgency to get people seated, fed and out the door in 25 mins. Swedish crepes- crepes were too thick and overcooked so they ate hard. The jam was fine but the butter tasted weird. Overall a bad experience and wouldn't come back. read more

When I got here it was very prejudice. I got the strawberry lemonade very good, I also got the classic burrito the bomb. The service was mediocre sort of slow by I was okay with the service. The ambiance was not the best I got put in the room in the back it was very tight spaced but overall not the best. read more

I the service is always exceptional! The food is and has always been average... But if you need a quick bite late at night, this is the place to go ! read more

Don't usually leave reviews unless the restaurant was superbly bad. The salmon was tiny ! No lore then 2oz very upset I didn't get a picture. The tenders my nephew also very tiny and they were also burned. It only gets worse, they forgot my mashed potatoes and once I asked about they didn't get it to me after I was done. Plain mashed potatoes yum! Just to top things off there was a chocolate chip in my side salad. Definitely never coming here. read more

What a pleasant surprise this was today for breakfast! Food was excellent and the service was outstanding and couldn't have been better. I ordered the senior sampler breakfast and got just enough for me, with tastes of different things, like pancake, egg, bacon, sausage, ham and potatoes, all in single amounts. Don't think we've ever had such great service anywhere else in a long, long time! Server was always attentive to our needs and was right there, ready and willing to help. Will definitely return here again! read more

TS: IHOP restaurant of Santa Maria is the best choice for a tasty lunch. CD: You can purchase an Original Buttermilk Pancakes for $5.69. CM: Their menu has been consistent for years and always boast with good prices. CM: Getting a order of pancakes for under ten eight bucks is the best deal in town. CD: While other restaurants are cheaper but they do not have much variety on the toppings. CM: IHOP has a variety of different types of Jelly, honey, chocolate, etc. CM: For drinks they have fresh juice, coffe and te. CS: After a quick review of these excellent prices and fresh ingredients, your choice is made - it's IHOP for lunch! read more

Wasn't happy at all got orders wrong had it delivered was cold called they made new had to pick up and was not complete

Shout out to the waiter that we had, the lovely Scarlet, she was extraordinary! You made our experience so pleasant :)

There are two places that I refuse to sit: 1). Opposite the bathrooms on a jet 2). Facing the "bussing" station in a restaurant. I was led to the "back of the bus" and given the seat of dishonor. The server said that this was the only available seat so I left. Would you eat facing this? read more

Upon entering, I asked Jose if we could order from the Happy Hour menu. It was 1:50, he stated he would have to go ask. He came back and stated that we would have to wait until 2 to order the Happy Hour specials. I agreed to wait with my two disabled people I was with. Then, at 2, Jose came back and stated the manager, Miguel stated that the Happy Hour specials weren't available anymore at the Santa Maria IHOP. After eating, when paying the Bill, I stated to Vanessa that was truly not good customer service to say to a customer they could have specials, make them wait over 10 minutes to order, only to tell them they couldn't have the specials after all. She stated, yeah that ended a month ago and our manager said no. Not sure I will return to this IHOP again after this experience. read more
