Normally a friend and myself come here for lunch. At first we noticed that it's always dead at lunch time and there was a lot of waitresses and three managers on. Wow holy labor. Today we get our food and we look at our plates and they just look sad. My friend ordered a Swiss burger and fries. Her plate comes out with what looks like ten fries and the mushrooms are raw and hard. My food was ok, fries were skimpy and they had no cocktail sauce for the shrimp,instead some weird Russian mayo mixture. The one manager asks if my friend would like for her to saute the mushrooms. ???????Well yes that's the way they should of been cooked in the first place. Then we were told the Fry's had been weighed wrong. They did redo the mushrooms and gave us more Fry's and comped the one meal, but wow come on. Old food was stuck on our silverware and the menus we're sticky. You lost us as customers and lost our money.$11.00 for the burger meal and $12 something for the fish platter. read more

IHOP - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Watertown, New York

See all

The Watertown,NY IHOP is the worst ihop I've ever been too. The servers are slow and the food is subpar. There are many more options and several local diners I would pick before coming here read more

My husband, grandson and went to have breakfast this morning and stood for 5 minutes and no one ever came to seat us. We didn't even see one waitress the whole time we stood there. Ended up by leaving and went someplace else. It's sad. They probably lose a lot of business because of this sort of stuff read more

Worst service ever...don't EAT HERE! We waited 30 mins before we decided to leave and go to McDonalds. You suck Ihop.

Terrible waste of time. Came in during the weeks. We were seated and the only ones in the restaurant for lunch time. Nobody ever came to our table to get drinks or anything. The hostess went to the kitchen or something so we never saw her again either. They can't be hurting too much during the Pandemic because they couldn't be bothered enough to even get a drink order. We ended up leaving after sitting there for 20 minutes. read more

Worst service I have ever experienced at an IHOP. Waited over an hour for food. Didn't get silverware. Very inefficient operation. Highly recommend an alternative for getting breakfast. read more

Stayed at a hotel in the same parking lot so we ate here twice because it was convenient. The Good-The Tables were cleaned after a person left and again as they were seating you! The Eeh-The waitstaff was ok, they didn't seem very friendly and attentive, but a smile really goes a long way, and these days smiles are covered up, so it was hard to tell if they cared or not. The Bad-The food was not great, my turkey club was cold, like they just took the meat out of the freezer and it was defrosting on my bread cold. Also, the food did not look yummy, no garnish, no powered sugar on top of French toast, it just looked like there is a pandemic and they are just slapping sub-par food on a plate and you will eat it and not complain b/c if you do you seem ungrateful.. It wasn't awful, but it wasn't a great experience either, I will just chalk it up to 2020 and would probably try the place again if I was back at the same hotel. read more

Service : OK Food price: On the high side taking into consideration the quality, food prep, and quantity. They need to train there cooks better over easy eggs does not mean the egg white is uncooked . read more

This is the second time we've been and still no success! The first time we waited over an hour after ordering and watched others get served and eat when they arrived after us. Today we went and this time waited 90 minutes after ordering to get wayy overcooked hashbrowns and all of our food was cold and my eggs Benedict had a long black hair . Needless to say we weren't impressed and have decided we won't be returning! read more

Wait time is ridiculous and they are seriously understaffed. Had us waiting for almost 2 hours. Ridiculous. Took forever for the host to come and let us know. Will NOT be coming again. read more

First thing in the door, the hostess was miserable. She asked how many people and sighed with disgust before she sat us, talking over her shoulder and walking away as she was telling us our waitress would be with us soon. My first comment was, "she hates her job." Our waitress was amazing and so kind and that was literally the only good thing about our experience. Our food took forever to get out and was cold when we got it and we were missing things we ordered. Pretty positive we both got food poisoning as well. So 100% do not recommend ever going here. If I could give 0 stars I would. read more

We have been here twice now and the first time we thought maybe it was an off night. We have waited over an hour twice now to get our food. The food was ok but after waiting an hour the food better be AMAZING-not so much. The hash browns were burnt and the eggs were bland. The server was nice but when we were seated the hostess didn't really great us or smile once. We won't be returning. Highly disappointing. read more

Still waiting to eat after 45 minutes. i wish there were zero stars to give. There is maybe 25 people here and they can't seem to get our food here. The waitress said there are a lot of take out orders. Still waiting. Boom promptly and hour and half after our arrival the food showed up. It became a game to see how long it would take. If you're reading this stay away if you don't have time to wait read more

Waiting over an hour and half and never got asked for our order. The waiter looked our way multiple times and never came. Never coming back again. read more

Very poorly managed. We sat for 30 minutes without anyone coming to the table. Then another 30 minutes before food arrived. Not once did we have drinks refilled or get checked on until we were wanting the check. That took a significant time as well. It was not busy but they must be very understaffed or something. Food was fine. read more

While the service here was great, but the place looked gross. I'm assuming there was a bunch of kids in here prior to us, because they're was syrup, ketchup and other condiments all over the condiment tray thing, and the floor looked disgusting also, but even if that was the case of kids or something being in there prior to us, it still didn't make sense since the waiter placed us there, and there were only like 6 other people inside. Also the food was very plain, at least compared to the IHOP's that I've been to in the past. read more

If it was an option, I would give zero stars. We went when there was only three tables full. They didn't come to our table the whole time. We sat there for a half an hour. So instead, we left and went to trusty Cracker Barrel. Saw 4 servers as soon as I walked in the door. read more

Ordered our food at 7:05 in the morning, didn't receive drinks for almost 45 minutes where half of them were wrong or forgotten. Food took more than an hour and twenty minutes to arrive and was not worth the wait. Avoid coming here if you have a shred of self respect or decency. read more

Last visit...ever. From the filthy floor to the dirty flatware to the 30 MINUTE WAIT for our server to return with the bill to the system failure that kept is there for ANOTHER 15 minutes waiting to pay to manager Bobby's solution to write my CC number on a 3 x 5 card to type in later and his misguided attempt to "smooth it over" with some complimentary pancakes next time.... seriously? I'll never go back, never send friends or family, and never send my own customers. Epic Failure. read more

I rather go to the DFAC, the DFac has better service than ihop. Rude and unhappy employees. The server was very slow and got our order wrong. It took them over an hour to bring my meal out. I advise go to a diner, it will be better and you'll have happier employees. Facts read more

Went to IHOP tonight with my family & in-laws. Absolutely awful experience from having to wait over 5 minutes to be seated to waiting over an hour for our dinner & them bringing out the wrong food. When we were trying to figure out who got one of the dishes the waitress brought out, she was very disrespectful and rude my father in-law had, had enough and we ended up leaving. There were 7 people in our party, 4 adults & we weren't allowed to be seated together. The sausage was burnt & shriveled. And although the pancakes looked good, we did not get a chance to eat them due to the disrespectful essence of the waitress! read more

Place was empty when we walked in. I mean food wasn't bad definitely could've been better especially cooked longer. I'll say one thing our waiter was hilarious had me and a buddy dying the whole time. If you want breakfast go to MO's place in Watertown (open 24hr). read more

Had a horrible experience coming to IHOP. I checked in and was 5th in line on the waiting list. The lady at the front said it would be 20-30 minutes as they weren't too busy. My wife and I waited in our car for over an HOUR and just decided to leave. I try to give all IHOP locations a fresh start and give them a chance to redeem themselves but they all seem to be the same crappy restaurants with poor service. 1/10 don't recommend. read more

No hostess to greet or to seat you. Waited for 10 mins for anyone to come and seat me. Seems to be no bus boy to clean off the table. The store isn't busy, management is needed here. read more

Me, my husband, and 2 kids went there yesterday and we were there for an hour and a half. It was ridiculous. The only time we saw our waitress was when she took our drink and food order. She took the orders of 10 tables in a row before taking the tickets back to the kitchen. Resulting in us waiting an hour to get our food. Other servers brought us our drinks, food, and ticket. Nobody came to check on us the whole time we were eating. read more

Waited quite a while for our food and when it got here the eggs were undercooked to the point it looked like they were microwaved there was still uncooked egg white on top of the egg not impressed at all read more

Took us forever to get seated and it's like they didn't know we were here. The waiter mixed almost three sections orders together after we waited an hour for our food. They brought us the wrong food 3 or 4 times. Do not recommend read more

Alex was a very attentive server and the hostess was quite pleasant. My complaint is the food! First visit the bacon was burned and the food was cold. On the second visit, the food was cold again. Not a very good IHop. read more

lousy all the way, had 1 customer 1 multitasking waiter 1 cook, no manager or hostess to be seen and 2 employees smoking out front right in front of the door and on their cell phones. what happened? i used to go to ihop across the country and they had comfortable seating with many flavors of syrup on the table and enough employees. this is simply employer greed. we walked in and laughed and walked out. what a shock new york....... read more

Waitress was very slow service was very slow and what made it even worse was that there was hardly any customers and the food. Was terrible

Went at NOON on a Sunday (12/2/18). Waited over an hour to get our food while people who came after us were served before us. Didn't get all our food correct the first time and when it was finally brought out, it was cold and burnt. They ended up not charging us because the waitress was horrified it took so long. This was the bottom of my stuffed French Toast. I also agree about people just standing around. Bus some tables and get the people in the seats. Floor was horribly sticky under our table too. Won't be back!! read more

This establishment work ethic, customer service and cleanliness has been very unsatisfying. My food was cold and I watched multiple customers leave the restaurant. There was a foul smell at the rest rooms and it was next to the kitchen. read more

IHOP - Dirty that table got up and left workers never cleaned up - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Watertown, New York

I love going to IHOP. People are friendly and good service. The food is very good too.

We have been waiting for over a hour for our food, there was people whom walked in after us getting food when we are still sitting here waiting. Only seen our server three times, took over 25 minutes to even take our drink order. Very very disappointed with this ihop locations never again will I do business there. Watertown NY ihop is horrible read more

This review is only for the IHOP in Watertown only. Very limited menu. Poor service. Did not have the normally expected condiments to accompany the food. Food arrived cold. By the time my meal came my husband was almost finished eating. When my food finally did arrive it was cold and was not as I had ordered it. We gave the place a second chance because we typically enjoy IHOPS in other cities. The second time wasn't any better than the first. read more

Silverware was dirty, the lemonade drinks aren't that great, my table didn't have ketchup.

When Watertown gets a new restaurant, it's the place to go for a month or two. There were high hopes for IHOP when it showed up. Unfortunately, the level of quality is lacking. When you enter a place that is dead, people should not be waiting for someone to seat them for five minutes. The food was ok at best, but I would not add cold tomato's and cheese to an omelette. Everything should be heated on the plate. Just throw it under the boiler for a min. The service was good. We might go back but not anytime soon. read more

Worst place me and my wife have ever been to. Was told 10 minute wait for a table but there was like 10 empty tables. Got our table ordered breakfast and drinks. 10 minutes later got our drinks..40 minutes at the table never saw server again..went on Yelp and saw all the bad reviews so decided not to wait any longer for terrible food (according to Yelp)..ask for a manager so we could pay for our coffee and leave..he said they had equity trouble in the kitchen and was sorry for the wait..I said people who got sat before us still haven't got their food, and I've read all the Yelp reviews while I've been waiting..said you've had problems since day one so we aren't gonna stay...only upside is he took care of our coffee tab..highly recommend skipping IHOP unless they can turn things around...and I only chose one star car cause it wouldn't let me post with no stars read more

This is perhaps the worst IHOP I've ever been to. We were visiting my mom and decided to take her here as it's new to Watertown. We got there and ordered and waited...and waited...and waited. It was 45 minutes before we began to think that perhaps we were being avoided. We finally asked the people next to us how long they waited. They waited an hour so we knew it was not just us. Our food finally came and my food was not warm but I was so hungry I had to eat something. My boyfriend (who also posted a review) had an undercooked country fried steak. When I complained the waitress was very stressed. We soon found out they were recovering from a massive rush. We were trying to be kind but also we were looking at a half empty restaurant. The manager (Wilbur) came out and spoke to us and we soon learned he was on his day off. He comped my meal and gave us 10% off. It's clear that they were trying to do more with less kitchen staff. To be clear, the service was not the problem. It was the kitchen staff. If you have that many people in seats you need to have staff to accommodate the amount of food to cook. The two stars was because they really were trying. Really they were. read more

The service was terrible they forgot my salsa for my omelet the waitress had no idea what she was doing just go to Denny's
