“I have been in this restaurant for more than 4 times. I highly recommend it. There are a lot of parking. Once you come in; you are greeted with a warm greeting and and enthusiastic smule by the host or owner. The servers are very accommodating , friendly and helpful. They check on their customers for whatever they need until your meal is done. The busboys are hardworking and any requests will be granted right away. The food/dishes are cooked just the way you requests. Their steaks and eggs are up to par. The prices are decently priced. For what they serve you, good amounts of food. Well worth it. Freshness and presentations of foods are stupendous! Never did I have any complaints the way the place is ran. Very clean. Wide open. Eventhough i live far. I kept going back and i know when i leave, my tummy is full, content and some take home left overs. Check their menu. Check the big breakfast meal. You can't go wrong with their reasonable prices. Thank you so much, Elena and Miguel. Who still recognized me after all these months. Great customer service!! Clean kitchens and toilets too! That's how one can tell how the place is well taken cared-,of.“

Was delicious. I took two pounds of burnt tips to go for a Super Bowl party I was attending that night and they were a huge hit! Everyone loved them. I will totally be back to this place to try so many more things on the menu. Love it.“

“Went recently with a friend and so good. Is a Korean breakfast fast food. Big portions, clean and great service, and the coffee had the perfect boldness and flavor.

“We love Egg Harbor for the food, the service and the pleasant, bright interior. But please!! Bring back your Jump Start coffee!! 😋 That has always been one of the draws for me and I was so disappointed to hear it was not available any longer due to not having Kerry Gold butter or Coconut Oil. 😲😦“

“My wife and I celebrated our anniversary breakfast at Gardenberry Cafe, and it couldn’t have been a better choice. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by how clean, friendly, and welcoming the atmosphere was. The outdoor seating was a real highlight—it felt so good to enjoy a quiet meal outside together. Now the food… wow. I ordered the fajita skillet and French toast—both were incredible. My wife had the deluxe Philly cheesesteak with fries and tortilla soup. That soup was out of this world, and everything on her plate was just as impressive. The service was fantastic—friendly, attentive, and quick without feeling rushed. Honestly, the only "negative" is that Gardenberry is 35 minutes from our house. If it were closer, we'd be regulars. But even with the drive, we’ll absolutely be back soon. Great place, great people, great food. Highly recommend!“

“I had a really great experience at IHOP, and I especially want to recognize our waiter Manuel Salazar because he honestly made the whole visit so much better. From the moment we were seated, he was extremely friendly, respectful, and welcoming. He checked on us regularly without being overbearing and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal.

What stood out the most was his attitude. He was patient, professional, and genuinely seemed to care about making sure we were having a good experience. Even when the restaurant was busy, he stayed positive and attentive, which I really appreciated. He made sure our food came out correctly, kept our drinks taken care of, and checked in to make sure everything was good.

It’s easy to overlook good service, but having a waiter who is actually friendly and puts effort into taking care of his customers makes a huge difference. He made us feel comfortable and welcomed instead of like we were just another table. You could tell he takes his job seriously and takes pride in giving good service.

The food was good, but honestly, the service was the highlight of the visit. I would definitely come back to this IHOP again, especially knowing that the staff has people like him who care about their customers. He deserves recognition for the effort he puts into his work. Thank you for making our visit such a positive experience!“

“Excellent food, service and atmosphere! Highly recommend!“

“Great brunch space with a reasonable price point. The food is exactly what you would expect at a brunch place like this. I will definitely be coming by again. Additionally my partner said that this was the best coffee she had had in a while, but she's pregnant so take that for what it is“

“We found this place in our way to another breakfast place and decided to stop. 10/10 would definitely recommend. Best breakfast food we have had ever, restaurant is extremely clean, everyone working was friendly. We will definitely return if we are near Chicago again“

“Today was my first time here. The atmosphere is great, the food is delicious, and my waitress was fabulous 😊. I had the crispy chicken wrap with housemade chips, cup of soup, and a dirty chai tea latte (iced), which was yummy and refreshing.“

“😋😋😋 It was really good breakfast and it was very quick service too~“

“Came on fathers day to ihop and Sandra our table waitress was very respectful and professional she has very good sense of humor keeping communication with us on any delays of our food and was stoping by every 2-5 mins to ask if we were missing anything
Sandra good job and keep that excellent customer service ! Thanks for everything“

“Came here with a few of my friends and this might be our new favorite spot… our server Emily did an amazing job taking our order, she was patient, paid total attention to what we said, and helped us with a few questions. Although, the restaurant was crowded (which I don’t really enjoy sometimes), she made our experience worthwhile.“

“We had a great experience here! Even though there was only one waitress working when we arrived (about an hour and a half before closing), service was still quick and friendly. The food came out hot, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Our waitress was thoughtful enough to let us know the salsa had some heat, and even offered to put it on the side. It was definitely spicy but so tasty, and I ended up adding it to my dish anyway.

Overall, we really enjoyed both the food and service, and I’d definitely come back the next time I’m in town.“
