IHOP

This is a nice IHOP. I have been to many locations, so far this one is the cleanest. Very friendly staff. Very efficient as well. The food came out super quick. I guess most people ordered the same thing? They just mass cooked the items? Food is good. Nothing wow but nothing disappointing either. Hot black tea is not Lipton, that’s a first. Love the tea for sure.

As we were heading up North thru NJ-17, we decided to stop at this IHOP for brunch. I was pleasantly surprised to see this store wasn’t busy on Saturday lunch time. We got a table right away. This store has booth area in front and tables at the rear side. Their menu has We ordered the steak burrito, sausage & egg with hash brown and sprinkle pancake with fruits. The dishes came to our table in a flash, felt like they had it ready in the kitchen already. Steak burrito was good, lots of steak cubes and cheese wrapped within the burrito. Pancake was soft and tasty. Our server was super nice. Overall the brunch was so efficient we were done within half an hour and were on our way out of the restaurant.

Update 06-16-2024 The wait was still a bit long but understandable considering it's a holiday and it was busy. The service was speedy and on time and the food was good and enjoyable . The staff was polite and attentive to our requests and needs and kept the areas cleared and open for more food to come. Had to wait to be seated and attended . Drinks were a bit backed up and food was hectic I had soggy french toast and the fruits were not very fresh , but my milk shake was delicious and the oj was good also .

We always stop here on our return trip to Florida, but this time was so special. All the staff seemed so jovial & attentive. Before leaving I made sure to praise the manager as to how much I enjoyed this visit. The staff was so pleasant that it made me feel like I was at Disney where I used to work. It was obvious who the manager was as he stopped at our table a couple of minutes after being seated & he seemed omnipresent. He indicated that he was trying make to make everyones experience special. His name is Octavia.

I used to come to IHOP as a kid and its been a while. When I walked in I could tell the place hasn't been scrubbed clean in a while. They need to work on cleanliness. And the food is just ok. You could tell they defrost or use frozen food on some items. Do better IHOP.
