There is the possibility that the restaurants in the Southpark Mall food court will leave you bored or uninterested. In that case, you need not walk more than a few feet to go to the IHOP right next to the mall. Yeah, it's just another store in a large chain, and this one is nothing special. But I happened to be with a friend who wanted breakfast for dinner, so I figured hey, why not? After making my order, I was promptly served a salad and the chicken tenders that I had ordered as an appetizer. The chicken fingers were on a plate with fries and a dipping sauce, and for the most part they were okay, though I was a little unhappy about how there were only four of them. At this time, I also sampled some of the pancakes that my friend had ordered. Mixed with the four different kinds of syrup that they had, they were actually pretty good. My entree was okay but nothing spectacular. Turkey with gravy over stuffing, and corn and mashed potatoes and bread. This combination has been done to death before, and IHOP does nothing to make its attempt any better. But the people serving us were nice enough, and the food they served us was largely enjoyable. Not a bad restaurant, although they probably don't have anything you haven't seen before.

Place was kind of dirty. It had a musty odor. There were flies in the dining area...on my table actually. So not real clean. Service was average. My server was missing some teeth, which is on par for this area. Food...was ok. Omelet was good. But hash browns were actually cold. It was like they sat around awhile before they gave them to me. In closing...this place is pretty much what one would expect in the area. All in all...not so great.

We visited this particular IHOP a few days after it first opened at our local mall a year ago. We've eaten at IHOP all over the world and were expecting the same excellent food and service. It was crowded the staff was new. The wife and I patiently wait fifteen minutes for a table. The server came over and I asked if they served Eggs Benedict? She looked puzzled and said she didn't know and would check with the cook. She came back is a few minutes later and said yes, we serve Eggs Benedict. So I ordered Eggs Benedict and the wife ordered her regular French toast. The server brought us or drinks and we patiently waited about twenty five minutes and finally the food arrived. The wife's French toast was their typical fair. My order on the other hand was the strangest presentation of Eggs Benedict I've ever seen in my 70 years. The server brought me three plates and a small bowl. One plate contained two overcooked cold poached eggs. Another plate contained two undercooked cold slices of ham. The last plate contained two burnt slices of an English muffin and the bowl contained this pale yellow gook that was supposed to be hollandaise sauce. I looked at the assortment and asked the server what's up? She politely said the cook didn't know how to make Eggs Benedict and looked it up on Google. This is what he came up with. I told her that I appreciate their effort but I can't eat this cold concoction. She should have informed me in the first place that they don't serve Eggs Benedict. I ordered a ham and cheese omelet which was okay; at least it was hot when it arrived ten minutes later. Needless to say we never went back to this particular IHOP.

I had stopped in once and placed a to go order after about 20 minutes the manager suggested that next time I call it in first, as I work in the mall and time is limited. Next time when I called, first phone had to ring about 30 tines before someone answered, then the girl says they don't take orders over the phone. After clearing that up I ordered the breakfast sampler, she asked what type of meat I wanted, I said it comes with all 3, she again asked what type of meat I wanted, no lie this happened 4 times! Finally getting that cleared up she says have a nice day....uh excuse me? I'm on the phone hiw about how much is it, finally get a price out of her and she say bye....again wait I'm on the phone, how long will it be....she replies 45 minutes to an hour!! I've ordered 2 eggs, bacon, sausage, ham and 2 pancakes and it's going to take 45 min to an hour??! For a to go order! I told her I didn't need a table just the food...her response "oh well". I told her not to bother and hung up. Either they need better trained staff or more chickens producing more eggs!

I'm not much into franchise breakfast or food but I will go on occasion. I would have to say this is one of the best IHOPS I've been too. I was a little worried about the wait time and crowd but was pleasantly surprise how quickly I was seated with 3 people about 15 mins. The waitress was excellent even though she forgot my drink and I had to remind her. Not a gig in this case, my food was cooked to perfection and was served in a timely manner. Bravo IHOP of Southpark Circle. It is obviously that you have a professional staff continue to do what your doing. ;)

The food was delicious as I have come to expect from IHOP. The service was horrendous. I didn't mind the 10 minute wait to be seated. Our waitress was nice on the rare occasions she came to our table. It took her 10 minutes to bring out our drinks alone. I understand the restaurant was crowded, but even the other waiters didn't take that long. The craziest part was the hour long wait for our food. We witnessed those that came in after us get their food before us. Our food wasn't even hot! The only reason we didn't ask her to take it back was because it took us an hour to get it the first time, we were very hungry, and we didn't have time to wait. We had to ask other waiters for things because our waitress never came to the table. We tried to ask one waitress for something and she looked at us and walked away. When we got up to pay the check the lady at the register rolled her eyes while waiting for my friend to get her wallet out to pay for her meal. While the food was really good despite it not being hot, I cannot see myself going here again.
