A pretty average IHOP that's open 24-7.
Not really too much to say here, unfortunately. Me and a large group of friends come here once every month or two for a late night dinner. Service is generally pretty quick, and the food has never come out incorrectly, so that's a plus. The place is kept *generally* clean, though it could use a good carpet cleaning one of these days. Not sure what's up with the bathrooms, but during the winter, the men's room is like a walk-in freezer. Absolutely freezing in there, and I'd imagine the women's room is about the same.
Late at night, they don't like to split the bill onto more than one credit card, which can be a serious hassle when you have friends like mine who (for whatever reason) never carry cash when hanging out. Not a huge ordeal for me, since I carry cash, but something to keep in mind.
As far as IHOPs go, though, this one is pretty standard.
Even in the state that practically invented diners, IHOP has a place.
This IHOP is surprisingly popular, and was mobbed the Sunday we were there. It took awhile to be seated (we were a party of twelve; it was a 20-minute wait), and it took awhile for food to get to us. Friendly service.
I went for the Split Decision breakfast ($8.29) – two eggs, two bacon strips, two sausage links, two triangles of French toast, two pancakes – which easily fed me. Several cups of coffee washed away the remnants of alcohol from the night before.
This restaurant will do in a pinch, but may I recommend a nearby diner instead?
A staple of mine growing up in EB! But I haven't gone back in years, and I noticed on my recent visit that they really updated/added new things to their menu.
Now have a chicken and waffle combo — I couldn't remember them having waffles here 10-15 years ago, but maybe my memory just blows. All I know is that I got chicken tenders and they were big and hearty pieces of white breast meat. Waffle was kind of forgettable, so it was probably just a simple batter mix. It was fluffy though, not soggy, and had the solid edges/print.
Love their butter pecan syrup. Mmm!
My favs:
Chocolate, chocolate chip pancakes — super chocolately, just the way I like it! Taste chocolate in every single damn bite.
German crepes are light, sweet, buttery, but a hint of lemon.
Their sandwiches — like ham/egg/cheese — is super buttery, and I don't want to taste all that grease. But that's my personal preference.
Mozzarella sticks are big! Very filling. A good solid app. Onion rings are breaded, not beer battered, and also big.
Parking lot is small, but I have never had a problem finding a spot before. At least the spots directly in front of the entrance.
Food came out fast, and I came for lunch/late lunch.
Server was nice, and from all the way back, I recall having nice servers.
So, I know that this is a chain restaurant. I actually had really great experiences eating at IHOP in Miami. But I had a pretty awful experience my last time here. And well, I am never returning again.
The waitress was really slow with the order. Then, I received my Caesar salad with the grilled chicken being raw on the inside. I actually cut into it and saw a bit of blood. So, I was really calm about politely asking the waitress to grill the chicken further. She came back 20 minutes later with the same chicken. I cut into it again and saw raw chicken breast. After that, I was too embarrassed and disgusted to ask for another dish.
I ended up eating the salad leaves and leaving hungry. Not a fan of their pancakes either, rather quality over quantity.
It's safe to say IHOP represents International House of Pancakes. My advice, only eat that, nothing more, nothing less. Dec 24th around 1am, I came here after doing my last minute Christmas shopping with a friend of mine. As I start to walk up to the place I see the person who's gonna be seating us through the window. Once I finally make it inside, he somehow manages to walk to the other side of the dining area, sits down, and begins a short break. Totally ignoring he had 2 more people that just walked in. A waiter spots us standing there confused, and signals for him to come back to the front.
We make our way over to our table and it wasn't long before our waiter comes over to us to take our drink order. It wasn't that busy so he could take his time getting our order right. We review the menu one last time and made our selection. We start with a Chicken Quesadilla as appetizer. Then I ordered a melt sandwiches, spinach and roasted peppers I believe it was. I also got a Fajita Omelet. My friend orders the steak tips.
Our drinks come out and I immediately spot something in my drink. The ice cube looked funny. Normally, when you look at an ice cube its supposed to be clear. This ice cube happens to be cloudy. Never seen that in my life. Then my friends straw looked like someone chewed on the straw. I wish I could tell you I was making this up.
After waiting and waiting, I said out loud I have a feeling he forgot the appetizer. Shortly he arrives with our main dishes and of course. He forgot the appetizer. He did apologize.
I start to eat away at my melt, overall not bad. My only problem, the onion rings were old and not fresh. They were over fried too. I saw my friend put a beef tip in his mouth, and after a few chews later he spit it back out. The texture of the beef was funny.
My omelet tasted like someone took cold salsa from chips n salsa and poured it over my omelet. shame on me for not reading salsa was a topping. It didn't represent that in the picture.
Overall, I've been to some great IHOPs, but i think their starting to lose their edge.
I came here in the morning around 10 for my dad's birthday breakfast. Luckily we came early enough and only had to wait 10 minutes for a table. The waiter came quickly and brought us the drinks we ordered. However he vanished for a good 10 minutes after that so it took a while for us to actually order.
My mom and I ordered a 'make your own omelette' with a hash brown and buttermilk pancakes while my dad ordered the Strawberries and cream crepe without cream.
Since there was a bit of rushing took a bit of time for the order to arrive. When my dad got the order, there was cream on his crepes and he wasn't happy and the crepes were quickly exchanged into one without cream.
In my opinion the food was average just because I have better at other restaurants. But the food quality is pretty good for suburban NJ.
