“We used Skyline Catering for my daughter's baby shower and from start to finish they were amazing. We went with the brunch and added a carving station. They food was all above amazing. I must say the turkey was some of the best I have ever ate. And the pastries and muffins were so good. The staff handled the whole event and cleaned up. Thank you to Liz for all your help to make the day go so smooth. You and your team are amazing!!!“

“After a week on the road and eating at several 4.5 star restaurants that fell short, this place was a welcomed relief! The quality and taste of food was head and shoulders above what we expected, and the service and atmosphere were likewise as pleasant.

The Salmon Bowl was flavorful without being overwhelming, and I enjoyed the Southwest Chicken salad and was completely satisfied.

My son ordered the Pizza and I was a bit jealous.

My daughter loves the food and appreciated how clean the whole restaurant was.

100% would recommend!

Did I mention the selection of food is mind boggling?“

“Excellent food and beer! We had the loaded nachos. I order nachos everywhere I go and these are by far the best I ever had. Loaded with brisket, chicken and pulled pork as well as homemade pickled red onions. The dessert was cake and ice cream both made with the chocolate pretzel stout. Amazing!!!“

“Yum yum yum … first time here“

“great food, great music and friendly atmosphere, I love it.“

“I think the breakfast here is great, however, can't you do better with your beverage prices. I mean almost $3.00 for coffee per person. This adds almost $ 6.00 on a bill for two people.“

“Jasmine was my server and she was AMAZING! She made our experience this go round worthwhile. The food was fresh and her personality was giving upbeat and positive vibes. We enjoyed her and the food. Good job Dover you have a great employee.“

“First time I ordered chicken wings and they were not crispy and very chewy. I was not a fan of their quesadillas I got a steak one and it's basically cheap fake steak-umm meat. I honestly do thing I'd try anything else from here again.“

“Excellent meal and of course it's a little pricey but, it's an upscale place and it's not totally out of line. You get what you pay for and it was well worth it. I got a ribeye steak that's probably the best I've had in years. Everything was excellent...cocktails, appetizers, all top notch. Service was great as well, Elijah was our server. All to be expected from a top-notch place like this. We had a totally enjoyable experience!“

“this particular Chili's location was the best Chili's I've ever had in our server Jesse he was the best the food was hot and fresh it was so good“

“Quiet diner just near the track serving down home good food. It would fit in perfectly in the south with how good the food was. The hours are funky as of this review due to limited servers, hopefully that changes for the better. The only con was the corn could be better.“

“Loved this place. I was working in Maryland and needed to cross Delaware off my list of states to visit. I went to another local bar first and it was boring. The locals then recommended I come here. They food was good and the locals were all very welcoming. I was more than 1,000 miles from home in Missouri and the patrons here made me feel right at home. I hope the little beer shots idea I gave them stuck! They locals loved them“

“Now that I've spent a year in Dover, I now understand why this institution keeps bringing in good business.
The bartenders are some of the nicest people I've had the good fortune of meeting.
Their food selections are wonderful - their football Sunday specials were everything I wanted in a Sunday Sunday.
I havnt been there when its been insanely busy, but the servers, bartenders and kitchen work well together to ensure everything comes to you in a timely manner.

Honestly i enjoy coming here every time“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Stars

I had an outstanding experience at IHOP, and a big reason for that was my server, Leo. From the moment I was seated, he was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely friendly. He made me feel like a valued guest rather than just another customer, which immediately set the tone for a great meal.

I ordered a chocolate milk and the BBQ Pulled Pork Omelette, and everything was fantastic. Leo made sure my drink arrived quickly and kept an eye on my table throughout the meal without ever being intrusive. The chocolate milk was cold, fresh, and exactly what I was hoping for.

The BBQ Pulled Pork Omelette was absolutely delicious. It was packed with flavorful pulled pork, cooked perfectly, and had a great balance of smoky barbecue flavor throughout. The omelette was hot, fresh, and presented nicely when it arrived. Leo checked in at the perfect times to make sure everything was cooked correctly and that I was enjoying my meal.

What stood out most was Leo’s professionalism and positive attitude. He was knowledgeable about the menu, attentive to details, and always had a smile on his face. It’s clear that he takes pride in providing excellent customer service. Great food combined with exceptional service made this one of the best IHOP visits I’ve had.

If you’re dining at IHOP, I highly recommend asking for Leo. He goes above and beyond to make sure guests have an enjoyable experience. I’ll definitely be returning, and it’s employees like Leo who keep customers coming back. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience!“
