Top Family restaurants in Apple Valley, United States

I checked the hours online and it said they were open until 10pm. It even said that the hours had been updated by the buisness three weeks ago. I then drive 30 minutes to the restaurant and arrive at 7:56 just for the hours on the door to say 8pm. I called the restaurant to verify and they did in fact close at 8pm. I had drive all that ways for literally nothing. The company needs to be more diligent about keeping their website updated if they are going to constantly be changing the hours

Wow! I was really disappointed with our breakfast trip! My husband mentioned Perkins, but I said no let's do IHop! BIG mistake! The only thing that was so-so was my coffee!! I ordered the senior 2x2x2 breakfast! My two pancakes were cold, the syrup dispenser was dirty plus it took five minutes for the syrup to come out! Was it old or too thick?? My scrambled eggs were also cold!!🤢 The bacon was ok, although it wasn't two full pieces!! I ordered a side a wheat of toast which was barely toasted and I'm pretty sure they forgot to butter it! The price for that by the way, was $4.00!! At least butter would have been nice!!
My husband's omelette was cold in the middle and his three pancakes were also cold!!
When we were done eating, we set our dishes to the side which would be a sign that we were done eating, wouldn't you think??? It was a good 20 minutes before we saw our bill, and they weren't even that busy!! NO MORE IHOP FOR ME!! Sorry-no tip that day!

Had breakfast and I was impressed with the perfectly done eggs over easy. However,the fruit bowl was very lacking in both variety and portion size. Not worth $5.49 so don't waste your money. Service was perfect!!

IHOP is a nostalgic spot for many, offering a range of classic breakfast and brunch options. However, my recent experience left me underwhelmed, warranting a 2/5 star rating. The main issue lies in the pricing, which seems disproportionate to the quality of food served. Comparable to Perkins in style and taste, IHOP's menu lacks the value proposition expected for the price point.

While their pancakes remain a staple, other dishes fail to impress, feeling more like reheated diner fare than freshly prepared meals. Additionally, the menu's lack of innovation makes the high prices harder to justify. For a similar dining experience at a lower cost, Perkins or other local diners offer better value without sacrificing taste.

The atmosphere at IHOP is pleasant and family-friendly, but it's not enough to compensate for the steep prices and mediocre food quality.

In summary, IHOP's appeal may be more about nostalgia than culinary excellence. For those seeking a budget-friendly breakfast or brunch option with similar offerings, alternatives like Perkins are a more sensible choice.

I haven't been to IHOP in quite a while. I decided to go since I had a few offer from T-Mobile Tuesdays for a stack of 3 pancakes. I ordered in addition to that some toast and turkey bacon.

I was amazed at the cost for the additional sides, but decided to order anyway.

My pancakes were light and fluffy and tasted great. I asked about other flavors of syrup besides maple and the server told me what was available. I decided to take blueberry syrup. It was the right choice.

My server did a great job of checking in on how everything tasted and if I needed anything else. His attention to details made the experience great.
I decided to tip my server 40% because of his great service and I know how difficult it is for people of color to be tipped well.

Of the people I encountered at this location, they were all friendly.

Just an FYI to everyone these are the accurate updated hours as of December 15th 2023!!!!! Walked in at 8:15pm thinking they closed at 10pm. A couple walked out as we walked in so didn’t think anything of it, couldn’t find any staff and when I finally did they said they were closed. Just a friendly note to everyone so no one drives over hungry for pancakes like we did when they were closed!!

I went here for breakfast with my brother this morning and it was decent . The food was good and the prices were fine. The service was just ok. The reason for that is I had my card on the table ready to pay my bill for over 10 minutes. The waitress came to my table maybe 3 times total including when she took my order and brought my bill. When we sat down she asked my brother what he wanted to drink and listed off a bunch of sugary drinks without asking me what he would like. Unknown to her he is type one diabetic and his breakfast was going to be sugary enough….. she just asked what he wanted and then brought it out without asking me once … that just rubs me the wrong way.

We have had such a great experience here the last couple of visits. If you haven't already, try their tres leches pancakes!
Our family loves them!! The service was great too!
