Okay so first, let's talk about atmosphere. Although there were only 2 in our party, we were seated at a 6 person booth which was okay because, who doesn't like lots of room, right? One issue was that we sunk deeply into our seats such that our shoulders were barely above table top height. I had to reach up for my drink and flatware. Next, there was condensation dripping from the ceiling A/C vents, hitting the wooden rail along the top of the seat and subsequently splashing into my hair. I stood up & signaled for our server at which point she raised her head in acknowledgement and when I told her about the problem she replied they were aware of it. When I told her it was splashing into me she told us we could move if we wanted to. We moved but she never got up from where she was seated to help us move everything to another table. Earning a great tip, huh? I ordered the New Chicken Pesto Crepes; 2 crepes filled with grilled chicken(over cooked, dried out, chewy), jack and cheddar cheeses, nut free pesto, and roasted cherry tomatoes. Sounded great! I asked for the white cheese sauce which goes on a different crepe to be added to the top of mine and they did so without an issue(3rd picture). I ate a few bites and kept thinking something was missing. I opened the crepe and immediately realized there was no pesto, nut free or otherwise. I waved my server over and explained the problem. She went to talk to the cook and returned to tell me she didn't think he'd added it. Really? I knew that already. I had to ask that she bring some pesto to the table for me to add versus the cook and the server being able to come to that conclusion between the two of them. I prefer not to send a plate back if I can manage otherwise. I added the pesto to the top of the crepes(2nd picture); looks better and WOW!, did it ever taste better. COMCLUSION: If you are willing to take the chance that your chicken won't be overcooked and that everything which is supposed to be a part of the dish is actually there when it arrives at the table, go for it. It does have amazingly good flavor provided by the pesto without which it is a bit on the bland side. As for the 1st picture, that is the New Lemon Ricotta Blueberry French Toast which was ordered by the other member of my party and which she recommends whole heartedly. She said it was wonderful and advises, don't put the lemon slice which is on the top aside because it's not just garnish. Squeeze that lemon over the French Toast. Whatever you do, don't put syrup over your French Toast either. Of course we always do use syrup at home but she says this is perfect without it and all of the fresh creamy citrusy blueberry flavor would just be lost if you do. She also ordered 2 slices of bacon on the side but we decided not to photograph it because it was just bacon, you know? She drank sweet tea and I had half and half tea, 1/2 sweet and 1/2 unsweetened for those of you who may not be familiar with it. The 1/2 and 1/2 tea is not on the menu, just ask and they'll be happy to oblige. Note: I didn't order the Swedish Crepes on this visit but I do want to tell you that they are to die for. Two crepes filled with lingonberry preserves, topped with lingonberry butter, and dusted with powdered sugar. I could eat this ANY time of day or night. Don't hesitate to ask for an extra helping of the preserves as well as extra lingonberry butter, I always do and I promise you won't regret it. They have my highest recommendation.
This was the best part about the experience. The food was okay at best. We were seated in a taped up seat booth. Left there for more than 15 minutes before a waitress brought a couple to the seat behind us and offered them drinks, so I asked if we could get drinks. The waitress was compliant, but the service was still slow. Never offered any extra napkins, refills or anything, but kept apologizing for the wait. The hash browns tasted as if they had been in the freezer two years. My omelette was perfect in the middle. One end was full of steak and the other was full of hash browns, they tasted old too. And the appetizer platter arrived five minutes before the food arrived. We were there almost an hour and a half. Nevertheless, they comped the drinks and appetizer so thank you, but I won’t be returning.
We were seated immediately and Megan, our waitress was the best! She was very attentive and my compliments go out to the chef. Our burgers were very good!
Breakfast 🤔 IHop here I come, bad idea. The food was not consistent with other IHOP locations. The food had good presentation however everything had a funny taste to it. I’ve been to this location before several months ago and did not have a good experience but I decided to give them another shot. I would not return to this location again. The waitress was nice. No complaints about her. The location was also empty they were very few customers. Jokes on me, that should have been a sign lol
Great food and great service. 6 years later returning from orlando I find myself eating at the exact same IHOP Friendly staff, good fresh coffee, and an awesome philly cheesesteak stacker for breakfast and my wife had a great cinnamon bun crepe. Awesome service and food..
The food was great! They were short on staff, BUT they were moving as if they were overstaffed. My family enjoyed.
Cassandra was the best hostess! Nicole ensured we were expeditiously seated! The food was delicious. Thanks to the IHOP Team!
Don’t ever come to this place!!!!!!!!!!!!! I found a piece of hair in my pancakes. I asked for more pancakes right why I could taste nothing but pancake batter. I don’t know if it was because me and my son are black or they were just having a bad day! I had to just leave before I got out of character. I left no tip nope!!!!! When you go out to these restaurants and spend your hard earned money you expect your food to be hair free and done. It’s sad. If you hate your job go get another one please!!!!!!!!!!
