“love the food. On trip back to Georgia and enjoy the food.“

“The store was very clean. The staff was very nice Mari. The general manager was on hands and helpful. The staff looked busy. It smelt like the wonderful IHOP that I’ve been used to for over 30 years so basically it is just like the prototype for what IHOPs should look like because some of them are so nasty that you don’t even wanna eat in them, but this one here was very nice. The staff was very friendly at all. Kudos to Mari and her staff.“

“Food was good but Waffle House has gotten expensive. $6 for a waffle? The waitress seemed to be in a little bit of a rush even though there weren't that many people there. She hurried off before I could finish my order but with the prices, I guess it's better I didn't add more.“

I recommend everything listed because me, my mom and sister have tired the fish and grits, salmon and sausage (pork and chicken) biscuits, pancakes and waffles, fried chicken, pork chops and etc. Please don’t just take my word for it, go try it for yourself. Let’s keep supporting so we can keep this place around for a very long time.“

“I came for my first time during the Forest Park fire and emergency service meet the chief event. Even though there was a lot of people it was still an amazing atmosphere the food was amazing I got my food in a timely matter. And when I tell you this food is delicious,... I mean it! I ordered the Salmon Croquette Platter with Pancakes. This place isn't like other breakfast spots where your pancakes are 1 inch rounds. They give you REAL and FLUFFY pancakes. I got 2 salmon croquettes and breakfast potatoes. EVERYTHING was DELICIOUS. This is truly a hidden gem of a breakfast spot in Forest Park that you HAVE to try!!!“

Thank you for hiring exceptional staff that truly knows how to make customers feel welcomed.“

“My waitress Kenya saved the day! After waiting 15 minutes for food, she came back and told me that my meat had just come in on the truck and that it was frozen. She sincerely apologized and gave my granddaughter a free drink. If it wasn't for her sincere apology and kind gestures, this review would have been very different. Thank you Kenya for saving our experience.“

I will make it my business to come and interact with Christian until he is a Waffle House Pro. The food was great as always. Thank you Christian for being so dedicated.“

“My first time trying Waffle House was here. The food was great, we had no issues. The staff was friendly and nice, when we went, nobody else was in the restaurant, so we had the whole place to ourselves. They had plenty of parking out front. I’d eat here again.“

“I am a regular late night weekend customer at this Waffle House location even though I can’t dine in I am always welcomed with a smile no matter the time of night from the cooks and ladies at the window.

“Christmas Eve tradition brought us here. Great food kept us coming back!“

“Has anyone noticed the quality of restaurant food has changed ( not a question but a statement). The quality of the steaks has greatly changed. I remember Ihop streaks were almost as big as the plate and tasted great! Mine today was small and almost tasteless and tuff. But the service was okay and the pancakes was good.“

“I love this IHOP!!! I frequent this location every week with my friend and when I tell you that everything about this IHOP is incredible, I mean it. The team is comprised of young women and men (High Schoolers), and they have set the bar extremely high when it comes to dedicated service, and professionalism. Last night, IHOP was offering free pancakes so of course whenever you hear “free”, that draws a crowd. The occupancy for the restaurant last night was full and the staff were on it!!! Never missed a bit. I was very impressed. Everyone stepped up and worked as a team. As someone that works in HR, it was very heart warming because normally you see attitudes, or staff slacking off or arguing. All I heard and saw was a wealth of professionalism and smiles that lit the room even during this busy time. So, shoutout to Amy (Manager), and the entire IHOP team. In the hands of these young team members, the future looks very bright! Well done team!“

“Our server was amazing! They were friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. The service was quick, our drinks stayed full, and they had such a positive attitude the entire time. They really helped make our experience enjoyable, and we’ll definitely be back because of them!“

“This IHOP Express restaurant is accessible before TSA pre-security in the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) Domestic Terminal. International House of Pancakes (IHOP) is known for its famous pancakes, omelets, 50+ senior / everyday value-focused meals, as well as its current featured item, the New York Cheesecake Pancakes. This popular 24-hour, family-friendly diner also offers classic breakfast combos, sandwiches, and appetizing hearty dishes.“

“After going to the Waffle House on Jonesboro Rd Morrow Ga where all but four tables were not cleaned and no one working made an effect to clean just one table. Was this a racial thing since everyone working there was black and me and my granddaughter are white we left went to WH on Tara Blvd and was welcomed in and Our order was taken right away and served.“

“We got there on a Saturday morning. We were able to seat immediately, and we had the best waiter ever. His name was Riley, and he was so nice. He took good care of us. Our food came out perfectly and I recommend you this Waffle house. Not all Waffle houses, but this one is great. And one more time kudos to Riley.“

“Customer service was excellent“

“Really good and great customer service“

“Jaida Even with hardly any customers, she stayed moving, wiping down tables that were already clean, restocking where needed, making sure everything looked just right. It wasn’t about being busy—it was about keeping standards high, no matter what the shift looked like.

Manny stood in the back Every now and then he’d clean his station again, double-check supplies, or prep for the next order that might come through. Even in the quiet, he treated the kitchen like it was a full house. I Loved It! :) FOOD ALSO A1!!“

“Tyra was one of the best servers I’ve ever had in my entire life and her food recommendations never failed! Much love from San Antonio TX 💕“
