“Duty crew choice breakfast place.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 20, 2012

Often go here as a crew to start the shift. Food is good and price is a bargain. Staff is friendly and attentive. The handle large groups of 12 without a fuss and still keep the coffee hot.

“Loved, loved, loved it!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 23, 2012

I hop's prices are wallet friendly, and their food is delicious! The portion sizes are just right. The best thing about this restaurant is their waitress, Tori!!!! She gives new meaning to the phrase, "Southern hospitality"!!! She was so nice and she went above and beyond to ensure that we were happy with our visit to Ihop. I would definitely reccommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for a family friendly place to eat!

“Our Favorite IHOP!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 20, 2012

We've tried many IHOPS over the years, and of all the IHOPS in the Herndon/Sterling/Ashburn regioin, this one is our favorite, mainly because of the very cheerful and helpful staff members! The food is consistently good; after all, it's a chain so the menu is what you expect to see, but this particular IHOP restaurant seems to excell at seating people quickly, even with the many large family groups on weekends, and presenting your food with a smile. This is where we take the grandkids when they come to visit, and where we often go to have a breakfast out for just the two of us. The coffee is great, too!

“Food OK - Service mediocre, as usual”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed October 31, 2011

This IHOP seems to have great difficulty retaining quality employees. While we do not visit often, we can expect mixed results with the service staff. On the last occasion, this past Tuesday, we were promptly seated at an unprepared table with syrup dripped in numerous places and no utensils, although at least ten other fully prepared tables were available. Eventually (about 12 minutes), a server came by and provided menus and untensilsand took our beverage orders. When she finally reappeared to clean the table and take our food orders, the outcome was two identical services even though we ordered soomething different. Rather than argue and have the food get cold we ate what we wanted and forgot the rest. She did have the correct orders on the reciept.

On rare occasions we actually get a server who shows some interest in delivering the correct food and is cordial. That however, is the exception.
