“They have the best cheese grits around! I've had omletes, beef sausage, home fries and lunch sandwiches. I have never been disappointed by any item on the menu. I recommend calling ahead to pick up your order. Sometimes there can be a long wait but it is definitely worth it.“

“I walked into IHOP expecting a normal breakfast, but I was NOT prepared for Bernard.

Bernard wasn’t just my server. He was a legend.

I ordered pancakes, and when they arrived, the restaurant fell silent. The pancakes were perfect. But then—DISASTER.

THE SYRUP WAS EMPTY.

I looked at Bernard. Bernard looked at me.

Without saying a word, he marched toward the syrup station like a warrior entering battle. Moments later, he returned with a fresh bottle.

The crisis was over.

As I finished my meal, I realized the truth: Bernard wasn’t an ordinary server.

He was the Guardian of IHOP.

And I would never forget him“

The atmosphere was inviting, and the food was authentic, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish was prepared with care, bringing out the rich, bold flavors of Haitian cuisine. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Haitian food or trying it for the first time, this place is a must-visit. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a fantastic meal and a top-tier dining experience. My husband and I will definitely be returning!“

“My hubby and I came here for lunch. Once we sat down, we were immediately greeted by our server Austin. I cannot tell you how amazing he was. From the second we sat down until the moment we left, he was outstanding. Friendly, professional, knowledgeable about the food and patient. He gave such great suggestions and I followed his suggestions. I got the quesadilla and my hubby got the rise and shine. Both were so so good! The quesadilla was DELICIOUS. I had it with a sauce on the side and it was amazing. We also spoke with the manager James who was so so nice and professional and just such a pleasure to speak with. Hands down recommend this restaurant and if you are a nice person, ask for Austin!“

The food came out fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious. I ordered the steak platter with scrambled eggs, home fries, and grilled onions, and every bite was flavorful without feeling heavy. I paired it with a caramel latte, and it was the perfect addition to the meal.

One thing I'm especially excited about is their weekend menu, which is available on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. It looks amazing, so I'll definitely be coming back to try it.

Parking is available on the street, and it wasn't difficult to find a spot. Overall, this was a fantastic dining experience with great food, a welcoming atmosphere, and friendly service. I highly recommend it and will definitely be back!“

We all enjoyed our meals and our waitress Raquel was the sweetest and so helpful! My youngest doesnt normally interact with people she never met nor does she smile but once she saw Raquel, it was immediate! Extremely satisfied and happy eating at iHop.“

“The staff and the owner are super nice and respectful. Let my whole family 13 people leave there suitcases right outside of his shop and let us hangout inside for a few hours waiting for an air bnb. Oh and best bagels I’ve ever had 🇺🇸❤ this place is a must try!“

“I eat breakfast here about 3-4x a week and the food is good. My only issue is that on Aug 12 2025 I ordered my usually breakfast sandwiches and instead of telling me they ran out of eggs they sold me the sandwiches at full price and yea beef bacon cheese on a roll with jelly does not hit the same without eggs. I didn't hold it against them and I came in today Aug 13 and me not even asking for anything free or any favors started to inform the woman at the counter what happened and she just cut me off mid sentence and asked for my order she clearly did not care. I left it alone and this was my favorite breakfast spot but today will be the last time I give them my business. The food is great tho.“

“I eat their tasty hamburgers all the time. Friendly people. Very clean. Close to where I live. Very convenient location for me.“

“I haven't eaten here in years but the Italian chicken sandwich I had about 17 years ago is worth a late review... It was the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. It was made with the juiciest chopped up center breast meat, I thought this spot closed years ago... I wonder if they still make that sandwich the same way they did back in the day?!!!!“

“5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Delish as always. Love the shallots, leeks & goat cheese crepe & the best coffee! My fiancé loves the steak sandwich. Never disappoints & love to eat outside in good weather. Great service, great food for great prices. Tres bonne!👨🏻‍🍳“

“I’ve been eating here for almost 10 years. The food is OUT OF THIS WORLD. People use the word butter milk pancakes loosely. Theirs really taste like butter milk. Everything is good. Same chef for years. My only complaint is, They never open on time, they’ve actually been closed for a while with no notice. Shame because me and my girlfriend are from out of town and waited outside for almost 2 hours. If they correct punctuality, I would give it five out of five stars because the food is phenomenal.“

“Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. The food was great! The price was very reasonable.“
