IHOP

"We’ve eaten here multiple times over the last year or so, and while the food is typically always good we’re at least able to sit and eat. However, the last 3 times my wife and I have tried to come in and eat within 1-2 hours of close, we have been turned away by the same waitress due to a variety of seemingly made-up reasons such as “maintenance” or just simply “we’re closing early”. While I try not to make assumptions, I will say that as it’s always the same woman who always seems to be overwhelmed whether she has 1 table or 4 tables, we’re beginning to believe that this server simply doesn’t want/cannot handle anymore tables so she turns guests away. When we have been “graced” by her services, our food is almost always incorrect in some manner and our drinks stay empty the entire time while we sit waiting for simple condiments for upwards of 30+ minutes. I’m sorry that I do not know her name, otherwise I’d certainly be including it. I’m certain that most of the other negative reviews however are directed towards her as well."

"Having read some mixed reviews on here I went to this IHOP cautiously but was pleasantly surprised. Food was perfect (bacon crisp, eggs perfect, hash browns excellent, milk fresh and cold and no sign of grease on the plate). Our server Mia was not MIA, she was very attentive! I liked that she came over and acknowledged that the food was taking a little long but we thought it was reasonable considering there was a wait to get in the restaurant. There were many people waiting when we got there but it moved through very quickly and efficiently. The only thing I would suggest is that the restaurant could use a renovation to take it out of the 1990s. That being said our seats were good and the place looked clean, just very outdated. I highly recommend!"

"We never have to wait long when we go here. There's a few really good waitresses we usually get which makes a big difference! The food is always delicious, I've never had a bad experience with the food. They are friendly & the atmosphere is normally peaceful. Always seems to be a few idiots that refuse to deal with their screaming children though. Their takeout is very popular. Even with the crowds & numerous takeout orders, we've never waited longer than 15 minutes for the food to come. Check it out!"

"I've tried the Deland IHOP several times and unfortunately it's always pretty disappointing. Whether it's the quality of the food or the staff."

"Party of 5 came in for lunch yesterday. We were seated after a short wait. When I sat the table seat came up and did not appear to be attached. The other side of the booth was ripped. We all ordered various items that came out with a regular wait time. All the food items were very good. Our server was very nice."
