IHOP,

5601 N Xerxes Ave, Brooklyn Center, MN 55430, United States

"Very helpful and accommodating staff. Food was delicious. It was quiet and slow but a perfect morning date with my friend!"

"I went to IHOP with my family whole visiting Minnesota. They didn't have many options but they had an impossible burger. They provided a small amount of fries with the meal. The burger was OK with the extras (e.g., pickles, ketchup). We did have children with us. They gave them the kids menu with the crosswords and coloring activities but didn't bring them crayons."

"Well that was the worst experience I’ve ever had at an iHop. Tuesday morning at 1100. No hostess working, people waiting in the front. 80% of the tables were empty but it took 10 minutes to get seated even though at least four waitresses were working. Once seated, a waitress took our drink order. 5 minutes later a different waitress came over to tell us they were out of iced tea, orange juice, and kid cups. We said no issues, ordered our food. Girlfriend tried to order the gluten free pancakes on the menu, but we were told they were out of them. Okay… picked something different. Came back with our food… but they didn’t have our orders of bacon… they apologized, and blamed Ramadan and a food delivery truck being delayed for being out of gluten free pancakes, tea, bacon, and kid cups (it’s July… Ramadan ended in April). Half way through our meal someone started trying to call the front desk. Out of the five people I saw working, nobody picked up the phone. The phone rang for the next two minutes while we ate. The food we got was fine, the 1 star is to reflect that they were missing a bunch of staples from their own menu. Staff seemed overworked, gave a 25% tip to the waitress because she seemed frustrated that they were out of 40% of the things we ordered and I felt bad for her. I’d recommend making the drive to a different location. Store was clean, tables were clean, and food was served hot. To sum it up: - No tea - No bacon - No kids cups - No orange juice - No gluten free pancakes - No hostess - Nobody picking up phones - Assistant Manager was combative about the store being out of food. She blamed Ramadan for a food truck delivery issue, but Ramadan ended two and a half months ago. Corporate should come do a check on this store. They’re damaging your brand."

"What a surprise! IHOP did not disappoint. I went here with low expectations. Not because it's IHOP but because it's in Brooklyn Center, and most businesses seem to be experiencing staffing shortages. The IHOP staff was friendly the food was hot, fresh, and delicious. I ordered online, and the food was ready at the exact time stated. Portions were nice. Bacon was cooked to perfection. French toast was extra thick and delicious also. The restaurant was clean. Thanks for a great experience!"
