I've good and bad experiences in IHOP's. This place is one of the good ones, great service, patience, great food!

I don't know what all these other people are talking about. Lilly, if your table is wet because they wiped it down, it means they cleaned your table so that it wasn't sticky and icky... This place always has amazing service and extremely consistent, scrumptious food. This is one of my favorite places to eat at. Deserves an average of 6/5 stars rating.

Overall just your typical IHop, the food was good and the prices werw typical for a chain restaurant. I'd recommend the salad and chocolate pancakes. Sometimes I bump into some servers who are just having a bad day and neglect us a little or get forgetful so make sure to come in the morning. The servers then are very nice and helpful. 3 stars for the average food and the service that ismt always aa great as you'd expect. As your meal continues the service changes. But food is served fast so if your in a hurry or just loooking for a quick bite to eat stop by! They give you coupons and stuff for your birthday but its nothing really special. The do however offer a free ice cream and pancake and sing you a song like most chain restaurant. so another plus I guess. Overall I'd say stop by if your in the area for a quick grab, they stay open rather late so thats another plys.

the food and service was ok. but taking my receipt and adding an extra $20 to the tip section after i left is over the top wrong!!!!!! i called my bank and they refunded me the money. i strongly advise everyone to look at their credit/debit card statements to see if they committed the same fraud to you.

Came in for a Sunday breakfast this morning. I figured it would be busy but we got seated after only a five minute wait. Our table didn't look like it was completely cleaned and we had to sit very close to the tables next to us but it wasn't too big of deal. Our waiter Terrell was fantastic! Very attentive! He came by right away to let us know he would be over soon. He took our order. Came back to check on us before our food came to make sure we were okay. For being as busy as it was he made sure to check on us multiple times. He was awesome! And our food was delicious. We had a bacon temptation omelet and a fajita omelette. We will deff be back.

The line is always long so get here early. The "20 minute" wait is really like 35 minutes. Food was average but for some reason, everything is sticky. The South Philly IHop is much better!

i don't really like chain restaurants and i usually don't eat at them unless i have too. IHOP didn't go under my expectations which is good cause i didn't expect much. the price was reasonable and the food was OK. wish it was a bit cleaner though cause i was annoyed at the fly buzzing around my table. and the bacon was a bit too overcooked for me. But if you are looking for a quick place to eat and not spend a lot IHOP is reasonable.

Sticky, everything is sticky! But I keep coming back, maybe it is something they put into that syrup... the syrup that makes everything sticky.

Let me start off by saying that I've been to plenty of hip/pricey/trendy restaurants in the city and the ironic part is that the servers at the Ardmore Ihope are consistently more attentive and better than the people who work at all these restaurants in the city. Go figure... Food is always consistent, place could be a tiny bit cleaner (I'd give them a 5 star review however the sticky tables have happened enough that I would drop them 1 star), it's very kid friendly and servers are great as is the coffee. Go early-this Ihop gets very busy and is probably the most diverse crowd you can see on the Main Line which is great.

I'm 100% against rating chain restaurants on Yelp, yet I can't help rating this IHOP... In some ways, IHOP is like your mom. It's always there for you, though you don't always make a big deal about it. You know you can trust it to give you that warm, happy hug when you need it.

Excellent value for the dollar - Food is not gourmet, but it's not supposed to be. Breakfast is the best bet of course. After all, it is IHOP. The most extraordinary thing about this IHOP though is the wait staff. They are extraordinarily courteous and cheerful and amazingly service-oriented. Many fancier, more expensive restaurants can learn about customer service from observing the staff at this IHOP.

I think the only thing that has ever brought me in here willfully is a hangover. Still, even with such low expectations, this IHOP is not the greatest. I have been to this location twice, and both experiences were pretty forgettable. One of the waitresses is very funny and charming; the rest of the employees are rude and couldn't really care less. The atmosphere is depressing and the service is painfully slow. The pancakes, however, are actually delicious. I love the different fruity flavors of syrup to choose from at each table. The portions are generous, to say the least. You will definitely not leave hungry! If you're looking to fill your belly for a cheap price, and you're in an absolutely foul mood, this is a great place to dine (and brood). Anything outside of those parameters will have you wondering what made you decide to come in at all. IHOP? More like ICRAWL.

Great place to go at 1am on the weekend. Ihop is probably one of the best places to go after a long night of drinking. Food here is great and the wait staff is very friendly! The place is tiny but it has a very cozy feeling to it. Bathrooms are clean along with the rest of the restaurant. I would definitely recommend eating here and getting the strawberry banana french toast!

Lilly E.
Came on a busy Saturday morning and like someone else mentioned - the parking is terrible! We walked in and there were lots of people waiting and we were told 20min wait. But it was only ten. Husband and I got a table - a sticky icky table that was still wet from being wiped down. We had a rough night and were in need of coffee. Husband said it reminded him of Army coffee - strong and nasty - like it was filtered through a dirty old sock. The food was good though - can't really screw up breakfast and the pancakes - which I never eat were delicious even without syrup! Our waitress was sweet and attentive but her false eyelashes were dangerously close to falling into someone's food.

It's an IHOP. We were seated immediately and I had immediate attention. My girlfriend, was essentially ignored. The server did not ask for her drink order, only asked me what I wanted. She had to flag her down to make a drink order. Others were seated and orders were delivered to other tables in the meantime. The food, as always, is better on the menu than in real life. My bacon was burnt too much, but the rest of the food tasted alright. At the end of the meal, the server dropped off the check and said "no rush". I didn't ask for it, she never asked if I wanted more. At this time, my girlfriend needed a box for the remainder of her food. I had to flag her down again. 5 minutes later, the check was paid for and we were gone. No individual who worked there looked like they wanted to be there. The manager had a blank stare, disheveled hair. Each of the servers were in and out, smiling barely. Overall, kind of depressing environment. Tight quarters too

On this rainy Sunday I felt IHOP would be wonderful, & cozy. So the parking area is just horrible not enough parking. I walk in and it is PACKED there is a small couch area that is full of people waiting to be seated & people are standing in the entrance & exit ! What a hot mess !!! So the hostess never tells us how long the wait would be. We finally were told after asking that it would be 20 min's. I felt bad for a family that was waiting to be seated because they were there for 50 min & were complaining to the hostess ! Finally, we were seated & the server says she will be right with us however, does not stop and say this she sort of mumbles it as she walks away from us. We put our order in. I ordered 2 eggs scrambled w/cheese, hash browns, & the turkey bacon. So my order comes out & the server says she is waiting on the toast. Really, the toast?! How long does toast take ?!?! Twenty min later I receive my toast buttered with 3 jam packets. Maybe they are stingy with jam ? Who knows? But, at this point I am about half done with my breakfast. I am also annoyed that everything here was so sticky & that my hands were a sticky mess and I didn't even order anything with syrup. Also, if you end up coming here make sure you sit in the dining area on the left. Unfortunately, I sat in the seating area to the right & it was right by the bathrooms. Not a pleasant scent while one is trying to eat !!! I wouldn't come here if you are looking for efficient, organized, good customer service....Your visit might literally take up a good chunk of your day. You also might feel displeased when you leave. I feel that my money would have been better spent at a diner.

Vegetarian Review: I ordered the Belgium waffle & a side of hash brown, both which were scrumptious. Service: Fast service, food came out warm & delicious. Waitress was sweet, as were the other staff. Cleanliness: There were flies & fruit flies right across from where I was seated. It was disgusting and I don't mean just one or two but I mean like 15-25 flies. It was gross, really made me lose my appetite. & the place was too packed for them to move us to another table. So, if you go, make sure you sit on the left side of the restaurant!

Since moving from CA a few years ago, I haven't been to an IHOP or Dennys. Sometimes when you are in the mood for "breakfast all day" (that isn't Cracker Barrel), you turn to places like, well...IHOP! I've been eyeing this location for a while and reading reviews and was a little scared based on the low-ish ratings. All in all, it was an average experience--everything from the food (as expected) to the service (courteous and polite, though not always prompt). The inside waiting area is tiny! Expect it to get super packed during their busy times. Parking isn't all that great either, but not impossible.
