The food if it wasn’t undercooked it was over cooked they need new cooks and honestly a new name bc this is not an IHOP a run down Waffle House cooks better
I enjoyed breakfast while listening to my favourite 80s song "Hold me Now" by Thompson Twins 😍 The food in the 2nd pic is a breakfast sampler. The total was 22.35$ not bad. I'm pleased. Got a haircut 💈 before breakfast so my day is off to a great start.
My wife and I have eaten at the St Joseph IHOP several times during the past 4 months. We have always had good, cheerful service and good, warm food. The dining area has always been clean. We especially enjoy "Bill" as our Server. I had heard of past shortcomings from friends, but we have not personally seen anything but friendly workers serving IHOP food.
I hate leaving bad reviews as I work in customer service as well and always try to understand that we are all human and things happen…. But this was one of the absolute worst experiences at a restaurant I have ever had.
We had a larger group of 9 but It still took 20 minutes for someone to come to our table for a drink order and when we did get the drinks the 2 strawberry lemonades were nothing but water with a little strawberry syrup
In the bottom. It was disgusting.
We ordered our food as well and was and it took 40 minutes for it to come out which I am just chalking up to it is was nine dishes and it is what it is. But in that time we had the hardest time flagging someone down for drink refills. Some of the orders were wrong and the did at least fix the one that was completely a different dish than what was ordered.
This was all just horrible service but what made me the most upset was that in the middle of finally eating after waiting over an hour our server was bringing the checks and asking for payment. We waited for food and service and we couldn’t even get half way through the meal before we were being pushed for payment.
I would have been more understanding had they been busy but there were what appeared to be 4 servers and maybe 8 other tables other than ours.This use to be a nice place with good food and service, but after this experience I will never come back.

The past few times here have been a disaster with the service. Our server gave us a glass full of lukewarm water, no ice, and strawberries at the bottom when we asked for strawberry lemonades. Another server came shortly after and offered to get us the correct drinks, which she did, but that strawberry water was a kick in the gut first thing. The same server also denied having turkey bacon and customizable omelets, and I know IHOP serves those. This server seemed new and did not ask anyone about it, despite me assuring them that it's something we've ordered often. I also ordered a house salad as a side - I'll leave the picture of it. It was a very unpleasant experience, and to top it off, they very uncomfortably joked about needing $100 as a tip.
Another time, I went out with friends and our server was very friendly, but seemed very new, as well. They took our drink orders, did not write any of it down, and came back 5 minutes later to ask what our orders were again. We were a party of 5. This server also passed items to us by reaching directly across one of my friend's faces. Literally inches away from their nose. Multiple items... I understand being new, but that is very unprofessional and very uncomfortable.
Unfortunately the food isn't quite good enough - to me, at least - for me to want to come back to this environment. We've given it multiple tries, but the service doesn't seem to improve.
The only redeeming thing for me are the drinks - I love the strawberry lemonade and the new splashers, when they are actually made correctly!

Ordered to-go. Should've checked before leaving but get home and this is what my order looks like. Hash browns aren't even cooked, and pancakes dont even look remotely like how the cinn-a-stack pancakes should look. Claiming they're under new management... clearly isn't anything to brag about. Horribly disappointed and would not eat here again.
Visited IHOP for a sit down breakfast after church. Staff upon entry were not smiley or very pleasant but our waitress was really nice and accommodating. Their bathrooms need some work. The food was decent and filling. We've had better but it was fair.
Food was hot fast and correct. Best waiter ever. Middle aged black man. He was on top of it. Loved the strawberry and banana pancakes. My steak tips could have had a bigger portion but the steak Omelette was nice sized and tasty. Again great waiter.
