It's a happy, loud place with all the Binghamton University kids that rely on this diner for a good meal. We love it here.

I have visited this location a few times now for breakfast. There is a nice ambiance inside and…read moreplenty of seating. The food is pretty good and never disappoints (but I have only eaten breakfast here). They have made the food exactly how we have requested it each and every time. The prices are good too. Their coffee mugs are extremely small though and you have to keep requesting to fill it up. The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is the wait staff is a little less than desirable. They are not too attentive and never seem happy or greet you with a smile. I would definitely visit again if in the area again though. I would highly recommend the fresh blueberry pancakes. The blueberries were super fresh and delicious.

That was a treat! After MANY attempts (often derailed by my own schedule) finally made it to…read moreDowntown for dinner. As luck would have it, it was Binghamton Restaurant Week and we attempted a walk in - first available was three+ hours later - but the hostess mentioned we could get the RW menu at the bar and two seats were calling. Lots of choices on the menu but friend and I ended up having the same meal! Cup of Cauliflower, potato and leek soup to start was yummy - very comforting, not too thick, good flavor - I could have stopped here! But fortunately did not! Main was spectacular! Salmon with everything bagel spices served over pearl couscous in a risotto style was inspired (honestly, I will try this at home)! I hope this is a menu regular because I will crave this for many more meals! Add a black Manhattan and this meal is a treat! (Took the dessert course to go - blueberry cronuts were better than chocolate but both likely suffered a wee bit from loss of ambiance and slight steaming that occurred on drive - good for sure but did not compare to the rest of the meal). Shout out to Tommy F for exceptional service - attentive but not intrusive. Ambiance is lovely (the lighting dimmed as we sat - hysterical) but we also scored the most comfortable seats in the house (I hate a high top stool with no back and no padding on the seat - those stools look nice but should go away). Also love the hook under the bar.

I think it was Lauren, she was nice enough but did not go above and beyond for her customers. She did not want to move us to a more comfortable table, despite our requesting multiple times and the place was literally empty. Finally she was able to make it happen but it was already unpleasant. She was good with bringing us hot waters with lemon as requested, but there was zero proactiveness to refill the hot water or any of the iced water. It was like us going out and trying to please the waitstaff. She did make a good suggestion for the lavender gimlet cocktail. Overall disappointing.

Me and my girlfriend went and the line was to the door which isn't abnormal on a Sunday. There usually is a morning rush and a lunch rush but it doesn't take too long to get it and out maybe 15 minutes from walking in to leaving. We ordered 2 bagels and a hash brown and order of potatoes wedges. They were delicious now I've heard that these aren't like a New York bagel but maybe I don't know what a New York bagel tastes like because it tastes pretty good to me! I personally like a little extra cream cheese but I know some people aren't a huge fan of that part. They also have booth tables and high top tables it is small but you're also not on top of others and the workers are very nice and it's easy to have a conversation with them and become a regular.

IHOP in Vestal, New York is absolutely phenomenal, and I could talk about it forever…read more If there's one place that knows how to make breakfast feel special, comforting, and unforgettable, it's the IHOP in Vestal. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere hits you with warmth -- not just from the smell of pancakes and syrup but from the friendliness and kindness of the staff. They greet you like they're genuinely happy you're there, and that simple feeling makes the whole experience better right away. The service is outstanding. Every server I've had has been patient, fast, polite, and always smiling. They're attentive without being pushy, and they check on you just enough to make sure everything is perfect. They refill drinks quickly, they handle orders without mistakes, and they make you feel like your experience matters. You can tell the workers here take pride in what they do. Now let's talk about the food, because that's where IHOP really shines. The pancakes? Perfect. Fluffy, warm, soft, and full of flavor whether you get classic buttermilk, chocolate chip, strawberry, New York cheesecake, or any of their specialty stacks. The omelettes? Massive, loaded, delicious, and always cooked exactly right. The French toast? Sweet, crispy on the edges, buttery inside. The crepes? Light, amazing, and full of flavor. The hash browns? Golden and crispy. The bacon? Cooked exactly how you want it. Every plate looks good, smells amazing, and tastes even better. And the portion sizes? They never disappoint. You get your money's worth every single time. What makes this IHOP stand out even more is how consistent it is. No matter when you go -- morning, afternoon, late at night -- the quality stays high. The food is always hot, fresh, and made with care. The staff always treats you with respect. The restaurant stays clean, organized, and comfortable. It feels reliable in the best way. Whether you're going for breakfast, brunch, late-night snacks, or even lunch or dinner, IHOP in Vestal delivers. It's the kind of place where families feel welcome, friends can chill and talk, and anyone can enjoy a good meal at a good price. It's comforting, familiar, and always satisfying. If I could give it more than five stars, I absolutely would. If I could write a billion-word love letter to this IHOP, I probably still wouldn't be able to express how much I enjoy it. IHOP in Vestal, NY is amazing -- incredible food, incredible service, incredible atmosphere. Easily one of the best breakfast spots around.

My wife and I randomly stop into places we've never been to for breakfast and we found ourselves…read morenear here so we did. I didn't realize at the time until she reminded me but we actually had a gift certificate from this restaurant hanging out in our refrigerator from like 5 years earlier. So after ordering our breakfast I asked the waitress if it was even a possibility to still use it and she said sure no problem. So anyway, our breakfast was wonderful, the waitress was really nice even if she hadn't given me permission to use an old gift certificate, and the place looked pretty clean. I checked when I got back to the house and it had actually been 8 years for that gift certificate but we went back for lunch and caught the same waitress, and yeah no problem they let us use it Lunch was just as good as breakfast was. They do have a secret sauce there I asked what was in it because I saw it on the menu expecting her to tell me what it was and she said that she wasn't allowed to so it really is a secret. I did get to try some however and it's rather tasty in fact I suggest it to her that perhaps the owners could put it in bottles and sell it maybe just there at the restaurant anyway. I mean I would have bought a little bottle. But yeah, we both had a chicken sandwich and some sweet potato fries, and everything was rather tasty. Next time we are in the area we will definitely go back
