We were looking for a fast dinner on the weekend with our 5 year old and 13 year old. Came to IHOP on a whim. Such a clean restaurant with friendly staff and easy to substitute items. I realized I miss diners of the past. Was apleasant experience and service was outstanding!

Place was clean and the staff members were keeping themselves busy folding napkins. Had a lovelychat with one of the staff members, unfortunately I didn't catch their name. Food was good, and the music was nice. There leftdoor was broken in the storm but don't let that fool you! They are open : hopefully they'll get it fixed soon!

The restaurant was clean. Thanks to our server, Josue, for starting our day with apleasant breakfast.

The manager, who appears to be juggling multiple roles—host, taking phone calls, serving tables, and managing staff—deserves recognition, whether it’s a raise or a medal. He handled the pressure incredibly well. If he’s a manager reluctant to hire more help, that’s an issue, and if he’s the owner, it reflects poorly on them. If they’ve genuinely tried to hire but haven’t had any luck, I can’t help but wonder what people are doing with their time these days. On a positive note, the overall experience wasn't bad, and the food was surprisingly better than the trendy Snooze restaurant I visited recently. Despite being a one-man show, the manager managed well, albeit overworked. I noticed only three people on the floor: him, a waitress, and a busboy. I’m unsure how many were in the kitchen. I had the country fried steak and eggs—it may not be homemade, but it was still quite good. The eggs were cooked perfectly, and everything tasted nice. The hash browns and pancake side were also very good. Others in my group enjoyed blueberry pancakes and a breakfast combo, all of which were satisfactory. If you have time to wait, it’s a decent spot. They definitely need to hire more staff!
