“We happened across this gem of a restaurant this past week. Menu is quite large with a wonderful assortment if items. I had the 2 by 2 by 2 by 2. Two eggs served hot and prepared as requested, with.two sausages , 2 slices of bacon and 2 huge pancakes. Way more than I could eat but pancakes were delicious leftover. Breakfast specials 7-11am M-F will be tried on our next visit. Very spacious and clean with friendly service.“

“Absolute favorite sandwich. the Turkey with Havarti and cranberry compote on raisin bread. Chefs kiss. Also, the Arthouse salad is great. Very friendly staff. Can't wait to go back and try another menu item. Just allow plenty of extra time if going to the Paramount theater, because they are understandably very busy on the weekends.“

“The menu is extensive, food is freshly made and delicious and the soups are better than any restaurant soup I have ever had.... I have to admit, I am "addicted" to the soups, primarily the Baked Potato Soup. I could eat that every day. I am what one would call "a regular" thru the drive thru for most often, the soup, however, the salads and variety that they offer are plentiful and again, delicious.... Highly recommend the Patio/Aurora, IL.“

“Our first time ever trying IHOP and the food was absolutely delicious, and everything came out fresh and quickly.

A special shoutout to Juan, who made our experience even better. He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout our visit. His customer service was outstanding and made us feel right at home.

We’re visiting from Canada, and we’re so glad we chose this location for our first IHOP experience. Amazing food, amazing service, and an all-around wonderful experience. Thank you, Juan, for making our visit so memorable!

Highly recommend this location!“

“I went in today to Red lobster to have a nice quiet dinner and trying to talk to my other person and we told our server it was kind of loud coming from the kitchen as we were in the two top close to the kitchen the server asked them in the kitchen to quiet down and a couple minutes later another server came out yelling at our server cursing at her obnoxiously very unprofessional if you ask me I don't know if I'll be going there again not because of our server she was wonderful but because of what we saw and heard their from the other servers there is no structure and we saw no manager put a stop to this obnoxious person“

“Best wings and service ever!!😀“

“We used to go here after Volleyball, but no longer. They close early because they’re losing so much business frankly because of bad management. Sectioned off gambling machine area. Just OK food.
Very nice outdoor patio with heaters. Separate room for private parties or simply more room with large doors that open up when needed.
Too bad they’re not doing well and now we all go to The Town close by.“
