“I came to this establishment when it first opened. I had a horrible experience. Food was cold. Waitress was rude , had an attitude like if you don’t like it go else where. Spoke to a manager and I remember him shrugging his shoulder and said we just opened. Trying to iron out the kinks. I vowed to never come again After yrs. I stopped by. Was craving the grand slam. I was very impressed with the greeting. Food was good and hot. Waitress Erika was outstanding. All staff very attentive. Smiling. Fast service. It made a big difference from my prior visit. Friendly and attentive staff make one feel welcomed and you want to return Thank you Dennys“

We frequently split an 'old fashion' burger and get the triple dip ( guacamole, cheese dip, and cheese bean dip). Honestly, it's more than my wife and I can eat, and it's under $20 during the lunch hours. Great value, delicious burger.“

“So after reading other recent reviews about poor service, we were hesitant to visit. Im glad we did. First we placed our name on the list via the website but didn't get a confirmation text, so we didn't know if we were actually on the list untill we got a text saying we missed our table. We arrived and there was about 10 people waiting. The hostess found our name even though we were late and seated us with no waiting (going good so far) we had to wait all of two or three minutes for our server to arrive, had our drinks within five minutes of walking through the door. Carlos our server was on point the entire time and he had several other tables and one large group to attend to. He was fantastic and attentive the entire time we were there. The food was served in order and timed perfectly. The quality was very good and everything was cooked to order. We will definitely be back. Carlos, thanks for providing a great experience.“

“It’s your classic IHOP—but with great service! Our server was knowledgeable and super attentive, which made the meal even better. While they don’t have a huge healthy menu, you can definitely make smarter choices with what they offer. They also have vegan and gluten-free options, which is a nice bonus.

My husband had the protein pancakes and said they were delicious. Someone at our table ordered a lemonade and loved not just the taste, but the simple, refreshing aesthetic of it—it looked great and felt like a little extra treat.

Definitely a solid spot for after church, breakfast, lunch, or just because. I mean, who doesn’t love some good old IHOP?“

Love our favorite server Crystal and well as many others we have had which always has made it a great experience. Food is plentiful and almost always requires a to-go bag. I had the excellent BLT salad with chicken breast for $24 and took half with us. My wife had chicken wings and the Tomato Bisque soup which she loved and also took some of the wings home. Total bill was under $50. We are frequent diners there and would not be if the ambiance and food weren't great.“

“My wife and I went there for lunch on a Wednesday. I think the current rating may be a bit low. The food was pretty damn good. We shared a BLT w/fries and a Chicken Strip Basket w/onion rings. The BLT was great. The fries were really good, crinkle cuts. The onion rings had a bit of sweetness to the batter, they were tasty and crispy. It could have used a little more seasoning but it was cooked well and we left full and satisfied. The atmosphere was great. It is a very laid-back, chill environment with a ton of seating. The service was perfect. The prices were great. We're going to go back to try the BBQ as soon as we get a chance.“

I've asked at so many locations and they agree, I even see it on the receipt when I ask for it. But, no other location seems to ever actually do it except for this one. Their fries are freaking fantastic when they're well done, no flop, not burned. Just crispy and amazing with their sauce. Thank you for your well done fries and for being the best location we have out here.“
