I love coming to IHOP! It's always such an amazing experience for my family and me. The servers here are wonderful - I've been helped by Sofia, Jose, Naidelin, Maria, and many others, and they're all so kind and attentive. My family and I enjoy coming throughout the year, especially on holidays. I've also had the pleasure of meeting the manager, Kristen, who always treats us so warmly whenever we visit. You all should definitely come here as often as you can!

Maria R. was an awesome server! She was super fast, very friendly, and has a nice smile. The food was out earlier than I had expected. The presentation matched my expectations, visually and eating temperature. It was delicious! Oh, and Maria R. is an awesome server.

Eloy was our server for the day and he was very kind and respectful. I valued his cheery smile and ability to speak Spanish to make my mother more comfortable. It was a very nice experience!

We had Maria as a server today,l and her service was exceptional. The food was good and the drinks weren’t water down. My only complaint is to bring back the smoke house hot links. Again, Maria our server was outstanding and she assisted with my concerns about the replacement of links and substituted for sausages instead.
