    This is probably my favorite IHOP ever! (Victoria) Tori our waitress was amazing!!! So amazing we had to give her a 50% tip! The food was amazing and the service was phenomenal. We will definitely be back!

    Tori if you read this know you're the best waitress I've ever had and you're amazing!

    I don't even want to give this place one star but I have to give something for the post. Where do I start?

    1) this place is gross. Dirty as can be, food all over the table we were sat at, food under the table, dirty cups and silverware, and the bathrooms? Yuck!!
    2) Service was awful. We had a young boy but he literally took our order, gave us our food, and we never saw him til the bill came.
    3) The food was mediocre. I've had IHOP before and liked it. I ordered an omelet with broccoli, tomatoes, and cheese. Got my omelet, no tomatoes and the pieces of broccoli were HUGE!  The food was cold and almost inedible.
    4) when the waiter took my debit card, he forgot to give it back to me. So I left without it on accident. (Not thinking) I realized it when I got home 2 hours away, called to see if they would mail it, and the manager (who I could barely understand and thought I was an employee calling) told me it would inconvenience him because he would have to buy a stamp and mail it. But first I would have to sign something stating he wasn't responsible if it got lost in the mail! ‍‍‍ I told him to keep my card cuz that hassle was worse than getting a new one altogether.  I mean, really? Your employee forgot to give me back my card, and I admit to forgetting to get it too, but you couldn't be a decent human and send it to me? Forget it. So needless to say, I'm waiting 7 days for a new card from my bank, but this place will never get my business again! And I am in the area often.

    I took my great aunt out for breakfast this morning (Saturday) - and opted for IHOP since I figured they'd have more seating than another breakfast joint.

    We were seated immediately. Our server was kind of cute in that she and my aunt joked about carding her for the Senior price and margaritas. :)

    The food was good - standard, but decent portions for the price. We were given extra napkins without having to ask, which was great. Oddly enough, our silverware was missing spoons. ?! My aunt did have to ask for a coffee refill (I had my own pot since I got decaf).

    Still, it was a pretty good experience overall.

    Horrible. First time I went the waitress was messed up on some sort of drug. This second time there was hair in my butter for chicken and waffles and it was over cooked and hard. We also got rib tips and shrimp and the shrimp was super fishy and ribs tips were over cooked and the onions with it were sour.

    Probably one of the worst breakfasts I've ever had. I came here because we had gotten a $50.00 gift card. I'm so glad we had that because if I would have had to pay out of pocket I would have flipped. We were seated near the entrance and we had to wear our coats the entire time because it was so cold. We waited an hour for our food and granted, it was noon on a Sunday so it was busy. Had the food been a little good it would've have been fine.

    We ordered a split decision breakfast, French toast combo, an order of mozzarella sticks and a side of fries. After an hour of waiting and freezing our food finally arrived. Our pancakes and French toast had no butter on them. We were given little butter packets that we pretty much solid and would not spread. The French toast was disgusting and cold and the toast was definitely stale.

    Leaving a one star review for this place is a stretch. Will never return.
