I have been coming to IHOP since I was a little girl, sitting across the table from my dad and making memories over breakfast. Years later, I am honored to continue that same tradition with my own son. Through all those years, one person has remained a constant part of those memories Sophia.<br><br>Sophia is more than just a waitress; she feels like family. I have known her for so long that I honestly cannot remember a time she wasn’t there greeting us with her warm smile and kind heart. My son, whom I started bringing to IHOP as a newborn, is now 14 years old. Every time we visit, I request Sophia because no one provides the level of care, patience, and genuine kindness that she does.<br><br>My son is autistic, and Sophia has always treated him with understanding, respect, and compassion. She never makes us feel rushed and always goes out of her way to make sure he feels comfortable and welcomed. Those small acts of kindness mean more than words can express.<br><br>Over the years, Sophia has watched my son grow up, and she has become a cherished part of our family’s story. In a world where customer service often feels rushed and impersonal, Sophia creates an experience that feels like home. Her kindness, dedication, and genuine care for her customers are truly exceptional.<br><br>Thank you, Sophia, for being such a special part of our lives and for helping create memories that my son and I will cherish forever. IHOP is lucky to have someone as wonderful as you.

Alex and Yaz provided outstanding service from start to finish. They were friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our visit. Their positive attitudes and teamwork created a welcoming atmosphere, and they went above and beyond to ensure we had a great dining experience. Thank you both for the excellent service—I look forward to coming back!

Thanks for the love, Crownedheirco! You’ve got some pancake shaped hearts right back at you!

Always a great experience at this IHOP location! I come on a weekly or Bi-Weekly basis, and the crew always do an amazing job. Cordina knows my exact order better than I do even! 10/10 would always come back!

Here’s a possible restaurant review based on your comment:<br><br>I recently dined at IHop and I was impressed with the level of service. Sarah, our server, was extremely attentive throughout the meal. She checked in often without being intrusive, ensured our drinks were always filled, and answered all of our questions with a friendly attitude. Her attentiveness really elevated our dining experience and made the evening enjoyable.<br><br>I highly recommend asking for Sarah if you visit. Excellent service like hers makes all the difference!

Response from the owner

Thank you for the five stars, Nandrani! We’re so pumped to get this review! Any time one of our restaurants can win over a guest like this, it’s great to hear. Please keep IHOP top of mind not just for breakfast, but lunch or dinner too! And we’ll look forward to your next visit!

Every time I come to this ihop I’m impressed. The food is always great and the servers are amazing! I specifically like when I have the server Cordina. She always makes sure she goes above and beyond from personality to professionalism. She’s definitely an asset to the ihop company. Great Job and thank you Cordina.

Every time my mom and I come here we always have a Greta time! We’re always greeted and waited by Sophia who’s so sweet, attentive and caring all around! The staff and team also go out of their way to make sure everyone is doing well weather it is their table or not. My favorite location by far

Food: Through the years iHOP's pancakes although good have decreased in diameter. Where I used to eat 2 of the 3, I ate 2 out of 2 (I had the value meal) which felt like eating one and a half pancakes. The sausages were a bit undercooked. The eggs over medium were very good.<br>Every drink is extremely overpriced so out of principle I drank water. Why should a glass of OJ cost as much as a full container in a grocery store????<br>Service: The service we received was excellent. Our wait person was thoughtful and polite. It was a pleasure to double her tip.

Response from the owner

Thanks for letting us know this restaurant is doing great work, Ros. While four stars is a nice compliment, we'll keep looking for that five-star experience!

My server, Fianmis did an amazing job as a server even though she said today was her first day. She was very attentive and on top of everything. We would definitely request to have her as our server the next time we visit!

Response from the owner

Kemi, thank you for the glowing 5-star review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your time at IHOP. We can't wait for you to return for another outstanding visit!

This is my favorite IHOP. The food never disappoints, the restaurant is clean, and the music creates a chill and relaxing vibe. I have to shout out my waitress, Jazzy. She always takes care of me. She remembers my order, brings my food fast and hot, and checks back to make sure I'm good. I appreciate her and all the staff. Blessings and peace.

Response from the owner

Wow! 5-stars! Love hearing that Shelly! From the best breakfast in town, to mouthwatering Steakburgers, and our Pancake of the Month, we’ve got you covered all day, every day. See you soon!

Came here with my husband and our server was Sarah. She was so attentive and sweet. Beautiful smile and radiant personality! Kiara (I believe she was in training) also attended to us and was very sweet and attentive. Food came out fast and tasted great! Definitely coming back.

Response from the owner

We are incredibly grateful Isabella that you took the time out to leave us a 5-Star review!

From the moment we sat down, Sophie made our visit at IHOP feel like more than just a meal out. It felt like being taken care of. Her warmth came through immediately, and it wasn’t the kind of friendly that feels rehearsed or rushed. It was genuine.<br><br>What really stood out was how attentive she was without ever being intrusive. She checked in at exactly the right moments, never making us feel overlooked, but never interrupting a good conversation either. That balance is surprisingly hard to get right, and Sophie nailed it effortlessly.<br><br>She has a natural ability to make you feel welcome the second you walk in, and that energy stayed consistent throughout our entire visit. In a world where good service can be hard to come by, Sophie is a reminder of what it looks like when someone truly takes pride in what they do.<br><br>If you’re heading to this IHOP, I hope you get Sophie as your server. She’s the kind of person who turns a regular breakfast into a really nice experience. Thank you, Sophie, you made our day a little brighter. We’ll definitely be back! 🥞🥞🥞

Response from the owner

We’re so pleased to learn you had a truly awesome experience at IHOP, Marckinley! That’s what we’re striving for each and every time. Whether it’s breakfast, lunch, dinner or late night, we’re here for you!

I’m extremely disappointed with this experience. Before arriving, I clearly stated over the phone that my food should not be thrown away, and I was assured it would be held for pickup. Despite that, it was discarded.<br><br>What makes this more frustrating is the lack of communication among staff. I was told my order would be available, only to arrive and find out otherwise. Had I been informed honestly that it was thrown out, I would have understood and simply not made the trip. Instead, I relied on inaccurate information.<br><br>Additionally, witnessing staff retrieve a bag of food from the trash and attempt to pass it off was unacceptable and unsanitary. That alone is deeply concerning.<br><br>A more appropriate resolution would have been offering a credit or asking me to return while the order was remade. Clear communication and accountability would have prevented this entire situation.<br><br>I do want to acknowledge Jasmine and the tall gentleman for providing great service in the past—they’ve made prior visits enjoyable. However, this experience has left a lasting negative impression, and I will not be returning.<br><br>As a team, there needs to be better communication and follow-through on commitments made to customers.

Response from the owner

Friendly waitstaff! Food was good! Kids get a crayon and a fun activity sheet. Only downside is, only the woman's bathroom has a changing station for diapers... so if you're a dad that wants to take your kids out, better hope you dont need a diaper change!

Response from the owner

Thanks Grace! We appreciate your positive review! From dining in, enjoying the best breakfast in town, or getting IHOP to go, we strive to the best for guests like you!

Trust me it's worth it.<br>Staff is great. Food is fantastic. The price is spot on.<br>If you're in the neighborhood stop by, you won't be disappointed.

Response from the owner
