My wife was wanting a late breakfast after doing a little shopping and suggested IHOP's $4.99 breakfast special. OK, that won't break the bank and we don't eat all that much, anyway. We arrived a few minutes before noon and it took awhile to get anyone's attention. Then we were told it would be at least a 20-minute wait, in spite of the fact that I could see empty booths. We were debating whether to stay or just walk out and go to Denny's or go home and cook something ourselves. Finally we were ushered to a booth. Eventually we got our grub, about 40 minutes after we walked in the door. It was good, about the right portions (I could never eat one of their omelets!) and the price was right. The service was friendly, but slow, and we finally left a little over an hour after when we first arrived. They seriously need to get their act together. read more

The absolute worse Ihop we have ever stopped at. Besides being a busy Sunday we are a little mad. The waitress was slooooow and spending more time in the bathroom then waiting tables. After 30 minutes wait after ordering the meal finally arrived. We were starved! We wolfed down our eggs and hash browns. They were ok. The pancakes arrived cold and the butter wouldn't melt. I was trying to be patient and went to find the manager. She came over and proceeded to argue with us about how the pancakes seemed warm to her. I told her take them off our meal. She commented the plates are warm when she took away the cold pancakes. Of course, our waitress disappeared and hasn't been seen since. Don't stop here!!! read more

all this staff and still terrible service all staff just standing around when theres food obviously ready to be served dont come here read more

WOW! Such a great experience. Visited from out of town with my family for my birthday. And felt at home when we walked in. BOSS LADY & MELISSA gave great service had a wonderful experience. They were understaffed but gave excellent service! Even wore a pancake Suit to sing happy birthday to me! Ps. I'd work here with the great energy! LOL THANK YOU AGAIN!!!! read more

Food is just not up to par! From the rubbery t-bone to the nasty flap jacks is not the place to go! 2 orders of the T-bone steak, pancakes and eggs so we compared them both. This food doesn't deserve a rating! The service we received was great! read more

Didn't enforce masks. One of the hosts wore his well under his nose. Our hostess used the menu to flick crumbs off our table at which she seated us. Hash browns were dry, pancakes were a wet mess. read more

The service at IHOP is horrible the food is often cold and tasteless the menu has not changed in 100 years it's just not where I'm going to waste my money. read more

The food is usually always good from IHOP I will say the service at this particular location is usually lacking, there is always just a few people working, but they always seem to be very nice and apologetic about the wait for service. This particular visit the food was good, but when the waitress brought our water to the table there was a dead fly in the water...... it was floating right on top so she should have noticed it.... I had to call her back to the table and point it out to her and she said oh my yes there is... she did bring a new bugless water but no apology of any kind. While she was very nice she didn't seem to be aware of the important details. I now question the cleanliness of this restaurant. read more

Go at night service is great and food is great.their classic burger is really good love pancakes

I understand restaurants get busy and I never mind a wait. But after being told that it was a 30 minute wait at 12 and then another couple Comes in after and they get told it's an hour wait, then another group walks in they get told it's only 15 minutes. They even sat another couple infornt of all of us when we were waiting! They have their wait time all confused. Then the staff proceeded to argue with each other by the window to the kitchen in front of the waiting customers! Talking about " I'm gonna quit" "at least you get paid by the hour to deal with this shit" that is just very unprofessional now matter how aggravated you are you should always be professional infront of customers. After and hour and 20 minutes of waiting we get told it's still going to be a 40 minute wait. As we proceeded to leave because unfortunately I was not waiting two hours, we saw 3 workers in the back smoking and joking! Maybe if they all worked together this place wouldn't be such a mess. Usually I get good service here but today was just terrible. read more

We have not had a bad experience at this location. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Food is cooked well and fast. Best service we have received in the Yucca area. Staff seem to like their job and take pride in their work. Unheard of in Yucca Valley in my experiences. read more

Finished the half marathon at Joshua tree and went to our closest ihop for breakfast I got here at 9:30 got my food at 11:05, just French toast combo sadly they forgot the bacon for my meal, they also skipped us on their queue when we first walked in and ignored us when we told the staff that people were going ahead of us, we also requested a hot tea and we got a cold tea with t bags. The meal was cold and it was a waste of time and money. Stay away they seem to have issues here. read more

I went here a few months ago with the family. It was amazing. The staff was much more friendly than the last time. The cook waved to my kids and talked to them. I must have went on an off day for that first visit. read more

The cook did not wear a mask while working and making our food. We left because establishment was not following Covid protocols with mask wearing of cook. read more

This was a really bad experience. We arrive and they said our party of 5 had a 20 minute wait. After 30 minutes we asked for a status. They said it would be another 45 minute wait because they had 2 large parties and they didn't have enough menus. It was really unprofessional. Don't go here read more

The worst breakfast I've ever had. Bacon was raw scrambled eggs over cooked and pancakes dry. They always put hard cold butter on the pancakes. Maile was our server and she was the only positive experience there. She has a great personality. The cook needs to be replaced!!! Other people were sending food back also. read more

We just came from here to get some to-go foods. I'm writing just to let everyone know that we witnessed one of the cooks there stubbornly refuse to wear a mask while cooking people's food. He was also talking a lot over the foods. What compelled me to at least give three stars instead of 2 is because the rest of the employees were at least compliant to keeping their food service safe for their customers. read more

RAVE FOR IHOP- Forget the naysayers. They can go eat at Denny's and see how that works for them. For a place that hasn't even been open a month they are doing pretty awesome. This is not fast food, this a place to kick back, relax, and enjoy some good food. Tonight I ventured away from Breakfast to order off of the dinner menu. I don't usually eat breakfast in the evening and I don't usually order anything but breakfast at IHOP. Now I can recommend the dinners too. ENJOY :) Still 5 stars for me. read more

This review is for the lady who waited on us at 9:30PM on Wednesday night, 5/22/2019. We arrived thirty minutes before close and asked if it was too late to have dinner-she said we could and seated us. There was one other table with a party of about 10 people seated in the restaurant as well. It was just this server and what clearly was a cook in training. We were impressed at how patient and kind our server was to the cook as she had to repeatedly correct his mistakes and explain to him how to prepare certain things. We were seated within feet of the cook area so we could see and hear most of what was being said. We had to wait quite awhile for our food, but our waitress was very apologetic and never once said anything negative about the kitchen help. When our food did come out-everything was very good. Her patience with the new cook definitely saved our dinner. I'm sorry we didn't get her name, but we hope she gets a big fat raise and a promotion for being such a good employee! read more

I was glamping in Joshua tree and stopped here before heading home. Least to say this is the worst ihop I've ever been too. The hostess or manager?was training a teenager who was absolutely clueless and she was such a bitch to him. It was uncomfortable to be there and witness his training go down. The food was absolutely disgusting and not like a regalar ihop experience. read more

Came here for breakfast on our way home. Visiting from out of town and wtf?! Took them a long time to bring our drinks, my poor husband had to ask for his coffee since didn't bring it with the rest of the drinks and then never got to eat since the waitress didn't bring it along with the rest of the food. She didn't even know he didn't have his order. My food was cold too. read more

If I could give it no stars I would. Wait time was 30 min turn in to another 20 minutes then another 40 min. There was people waiting for over 3 hours for a table. About 8 families that we're waiting left. Was really hungry that we left to go eat somewhere else. read more

Great Service From the time you walk in the door you are Greated with a Welcome and Big Smiles!! Fantastic Food is prepared by "Frank" the Greatest Cook in the World!! Best Place to Eat and Dine in Yucca Valley!! Thank you for your Awesome Service! read more

Just had breakfast here and wow, cleanest restaurant I've been in since moving to Yucca Valley! Friendly staff, food was cooked perfectly and this was an awesome surprise for a chain restaurant. It felt like a mom and pop restaurant from back in the day. Great staff! read more

So here is the story, they said on the phone they stop seating at 4:30, they close at 5:00. We get there at 4:20 and they said they couldn't seat us... So honestly they a bunch of liars, and just please don't go here. read more

I have been a fan of IHOP for 20 years in various communities in Southern California. I've visited this IHOP off and on since it opened, for 4 years or so. This is my second visit during the pandemic. The "new" landscape has been let deteriorate. The eggs we had were the real disappointment. Two of us had over easy. The albumen was like water running on our plates. Our guest had scrambled eggs with American cheese. They were a solid lump with some kind of cheese product gluing them together. The butter for his pancakes was frozen. Toast was unevenly toasted. Was that due to a malfunctioning toaster? "How is everything?" a waitress asked. I remarked upon my problem with the fried eggs. She advised me, "Over easy eggs are supposed to be like that. Medium eggs are solid," in her Australian accent. "Not really, no." (I'm 68) "I've eaten a lot of over easy eggs in my time. The albumen should be solid." Maybe I'll try again in a few years if their still open. read more

I would give negative stars if I could!!! DON'T BOTHER STOPPING HERE!! Thought we would stop to eat and wait out traffic on Sunday but it was a complete waste of time! Anyone that reads my reviews knows I'm a stickler for customer service. With that said, I'm willing to look past other issues if I get good service. However, this IHOP IS BY FAR THE WORST I HAVE EVER BEEN TO! My son had never been to an IHOP & I thought it would be fun for him to know where my love of Swedish pancakes came from. We were greeted promptly but when I asked to sit by the window to watch my vehicle & trailer, I was told they need to clear a table, which should only take a few minutes at most. That waitress NEVER CAME BACK TO SEAT US AND WE WAITED 10 MINUTES FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO SEAT US! If they were busy I would understand but they only had 4 tables occupied in the whole place. Then she tried to sit us at a table that was blocked by a wall so we couldn't even see our vehicle. I explained again where I wanted to sit so she sat us there but it seems it was the employee area. Marissa was very nice & took our drink order & brought them out in decent time. She came back a few times for our orders & we wound up with the onion ring sampler, the "quick 3 egg breakfast" & a breakfast bowl. Not a hard order. I asked for bbq sauce but she never returned with it. I finally got up to ask for it when she brought it out. However, by that time the rings were cold. I ate one which was cold but ok but the second one wasn't even cooked through & tasted like raw dough. Yuck. I told Marissa when she came back & she brought us new ones that were better. Not great but ok. They left dirty looking oil in the bowl so that grossed me out. Then we waited 40 minutes for our breakfast! It's breakfast, not a big deal & certainly doesn't take that long to make. They were not busy & the manager was sitting there watching us the whole time but never once came over to ask if we needed anything or to find out why our food was taking so long. By the time it came it was so cold that it wasn't even edible. Marissa had said a few times it would be out shortly but it never was. When she came back I told her I wasn't eating it. She offered a new one but I said I don't have time to wait another 40 minutes & hope I get a hot breakfast. My son didn't eat his food either due to being cold & hard. She never brought his toast & it took 10 minutes for her to get it. Who wants cold hard eggs, hashbrowns & toast with the most disgusting fake butter popcorn oil crap on their toast?!?! Why not put REAL butter on toast & a decent amount, instead of one squirt of oily fake disgusting "butter"?!?! Needless to say I told her I wasn't paying for any of it. She said she took off my food & the rings but I told her to look at my sons plate and tell me if I should pay for his food that he didn't eat. I told her I wasn't paying for any of it and she can go tell the manager and if he has a problem he can come talk to me. She did not give me a check, she said she would tell him but No one ever came over. I went to the bathroom & I came back, my son said no one came over so I left a $4 tip, which I shouldn't have since the service was SO SLOW but servers work hard & I'm nice so I tipped her & we walked out the door. Then the manager comes chasing after us telling me I have to pay. I explained the situation to him and told him I wasn't paying for any of it since we are leaving hungry & just WASTED almost 2 hours!!! He told me he sat there and watched us eat. I said my son ate cold onion rings, I picked at my bacon & ate one half piece of toast because I was starving. We didn't eat 95% of our food. He kept saying we did & I said "did you look at our table?" He wouldn't reply but just kept telling me to pay & I kept telling him the service sucked, the food was disgusting & cold & he's lucky I even left a tip!! I couldn't believe how he stood there & argued with me!!! Finally, after he realized other patrons could hear me he said "just go." I won't ever go to IHOP again & needless to say my son doesn't want to either. They were the best when I was growing up. Too bad they've gone down hill so much, or at least this one is down at the bottom. read more

Not too much to get excited about here. Food is good but way overpriced for pancakes and the service is little to be desired. I don't know why this place is so busy other than the fact that there aren't many breakfast choices in this town. Also, the kids food is overpriced as well for what they get. read more

First time at this location,and quite pleased. They have a coffee bar inside and my lovely waitress made me beautiful cup of Carmel latte,yummy. Fantastic french toast! My dining experience was wonderful read more

IHOP - Carmel latte - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Yucca Valley, California

2 stars on my online to go order on august 1st, 2020, covid 19: 1. i ordered extra cheese on my "create your own omelette". so when i got the omelette, there was very little cheese, and it was browned and dry like it was overcooked and rolled up. it was not moist and cheesy. i didn't eat even half of it. 2. i ordered regular hash browns with my "southwest scramble" and got chunks of potatoes fried with onions and green peppers. they were good but not what i wanted. the workers there were friendly. it was busy for a coronavirus saturday. read more

The waitress was efficient however the food was the worst breakfast I ever had. I ordered a meat omelette and all the fillings were refrigerator cold. Forgot the hash browns, the pancakes had too much leavening so tasted like biscuits. In addition the butter appeared frozen, wouldn't melt and tore the pancakes. Only one syrup was available and it wasn't a quality maple, with thin stream of product. My son's breakfast was all cold. Even though we are local will not be going back soon. Would not recommend. read more

Who doesn't love them some iHOP? Seriously. Need a big, hearty breakfast with enough combo options to settle both a sweet and savory tooth on a limited budget? Then you come here. That being said, my experience here was a little depressing. I'm used to friendly, fast service when usually plates come out so fast to the table you can't even figure out how they managed to cook the food that fast.. While it's totally cool for food to take a normal amount of time to get to the table.. we ended up waiting quite a while here both before food arrival and after. It was a busier Sunday morning crowd - so likely that was part of the problem but we had a group of 4 that were sat immediately with no wait. Then we proceeded to wait 10 minutes before someone greeted us officially. It wasn't even who would end up being our server - but she took our drink orders all the same, then again we waited for nearly 15 minutes before our actual server came to take our order - without our coffee / drinks only in the last few minutes coming to the table before her arrival. Once we had our food order in, we waited about 20 minutes before it actually came to the table and of course - only half of us were served with the other half waiting another 5 minutes for theirs to come out. Once everything got there, we noticed a few items missing so they had to get that cooked up fro scratch. So at this point we've been here over 45 minutes with relatively no food or drinks all the while. Odd for iHOP for sure. After we scarfed down our food in about 15 minutes (as we were STARVING) we then waited about 20 more minutes with no one stopping by before we stood up to find out waitress and have to ask for the check manually. Overall, just a disappointing service experience but the food was delicious - so there's that! Final Verdict: Bad service or not.. I still love their food! read more

Have a little patience , this location is a bit understaffed but with that said, everyone has a a good attitude which goes a long way :) our server was Richard and he was very friendly and had great customer service. The wait time for the food was a little long but it was great once we received it so it's made up for it in the end , overall pleasant breakfast experience:) read more

Great food. Excellent service!!! Very nice place if you are in the area! We had the steak tips they were on point!!! read more

This was the worst food I've ever had at an IHop. The crepes were like leather with brittle cardboard edges. Served with hard dry scrambled eggs. Hard dried old cooked bacon. Everything was barely warm. The food I was served had to have been left over and slightly reheated from early in the day. Or yesterday. We ate here at 3:30 pm. While standing at the register I saw the cook in the plate pickup area moving pancakes back and forth on plates with his bare hands after he'd been helping the waitress serve to customers seated at tables. My impression of IHop has been forever ruined. :/ read more

The food was not cooked properly, 2/3 of us were nauseas and vomiting the rest of the day. We've came here before and although it's not the first time our experience was bad it was the first we got extremely sick from this place. The service was even worse. We were a party of 3 and were seated after 10 minutes of waiting but even after being seated it took more than 30 minutes to even be asked what we wanted to drink. Meanwhile there was a party of 8 who was seated after us and had menu's and glasses of water laid out for them (yes their order was also taken before ours). A man cleaning the tables kept asking us if we've been helped because he noticed no one was helping us. Finally a server came to take our order and came angry mumbling under his breath "I hate this damn place" "I'm so tired of this place". Needless to say we will never come here again, horrible experience in the restaurant and after. The time before this one we went and could barely order anything from the menu because they were either out or because they forgot to defrost it prior making our wait time more than an hour. It seems like every time we come there's an issue. read more
