IHOP — Restaurant in Rogers

A dolt coworker, to say the least, and I are the fortunate type of people whom get to enjoy not only working weekends, but the overnight shift as well. So as you can imagine our choices on where to spend our lunch break are very limited at the prime time of 2 a.m. The choices really come down to either IHOP or Waffle House, and about eight months ago we made the decision to go with IHOP so we wouldn't have to check for hypodermic needles before we grab any of the the doors in the place.

Skip forward to the actual experience of eating here and that's where this review really matters, especially for the 5 people who read it. Let's start with the atmosphere, it's an IHOP on the inside. This just means it looks like the other seven IHOP locations you've visited over the years after a long family trip, an all night alcohol fueled bender where you still leave the bar alone, or the place you and your Tinder date meet for the first time so it's not "weird." However, I will say during the late hours that I am there that the floor has typically been freshly mopped, or had seventy-five gallons of water dumped on it. This leads to a magical adventure on my twenty-five foot journey to the restroom where I can pretend to be a ballerina, figure skater, or the late Michael Jackson.

Now on to the food, which is the whole point of going to here. The good news is that it's always exactly what I expect, you know because I order it so I know what will be brought to me. The food is always great, sure sometimes it may take a bit longer to receive my food but that's what happens when a restaurant is short staffed and other people are eating there too. Luckily I have never had an issue with anything I've ordered here, but I know if I did the issue would be resolved without a problem.

Now on to the wait staff, which is honestly 90% of the reason I don't mind coming back to this location so often. The best thing about this IHOP has to be the staff, not because they make me feel special or cared about necessarily, it's more of the fact that everyone I have dealt with there isn't afraid to just be their own person. None of the staff comes across like they are just being nice to get a decent tip or because it's their job. I could go on and tell you about the lively cast of characters that occupy the space, like a group of people selected by a Millennial who wants to try and make an interesting diner themed sitcom, but I'll save that discovery for you.

Ultimately I'll be nice and not sarcastic for a moment and tell you that this isn't a bad place to go for a quick good bite to eat. I've never left regretting my visit or the money that I've spent, and that's coming from someone who goes there 2-4 times a week.

P.S. If you're still reading this long of a Google review over IHOP you should really see a therapist, but that's coming from the guy writing an IHOP review at 3 a.m. and doesn't visit...

This ihop is truly the worst. My husband placed a takeout order on September 4th. We ordered 2 omelettes including the sides - hashbrowns and pancakes. When we got home and saw our food we were highly disappointed. The “big steak” omelette had no meat in it, the other omelette had a HAIR in it, and our hashbrowns were burnt. I tried to call ihop for a refund multiple times and they never answered the phone. So that afternoon I took the food back up to ihop and asked for a refund. When I got there the manager on duty said she wasn’t able to provide a refund and I would have to wait until Thursday (3 days later) for the general manager- Joe, to get there to process the refund. I wrote down my information and left. I didn’t hear from Joe Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday. 8 days later I hadn’t heard anything and still hadn’t received the refund of $40 for the disgusting food they served us. So I called ihop to get an update on the situation on Tuesday (8 days after the order) when I called I was met with nothing but attitude from the employees that picked up the phone. I was hung up on THREE times by the employees when I was simply just trying to get a refund on the food that I had taken back to the store 8 days prior. They told me the manager on duty, again, was unable to provide a refund and I’d, again, have to wait until Thursday to hear from Joe. I told them that was unacceptable and they hung up on me. I called back- asked who I was speaking with - the employee hung up again. The third time I was able to get the first name of the GM and asked for the last name as well to which she rudely replied “I don’t know how to say it” I asked her to spell it for me or ask a coworker, so she attempted (with an insane amount of attitude) to spell it for me and then hung up on me for the 3rd time. After that I was fed up and I called corporate. Two days later on Thursday (today) I received a call from Joe, the general manager. When speaking with Joe trying to explain the situation to him, he ALSO met me with nothing but attitude, no apologies for the way his employees had treated me, no apologies for the fact I still haven’t received my refund, and he very rudely interrupted me at least 10 times in our conversation. The employees, the managers, and general manager are all EXTREMELY unprofessional at this store. Our order was placed September 4th, it is now September 14th, and we STILL have not received our refund. The general manager did say on our phone call today, he would process the refund, so if I do actually receive that refund I will update this review. Everything about this experience has been terrible from the food to the service to even the cleanliness of the restaurant when I went in to return the food. It was clearly dirty and disgusting. I highly recommend steering clear of this ihop if you’re looking for a good breakfast with good...

Welcome to the International House of Pancakes, where syrup flows like rivers and pancakes are as plentiful as... well, pancakes!

I recently embarked on a culinary journey to IHOP, armed with a fork, a sense of adventure, and questionable decision-making skills. As I entered, the sweet scent of syrup greeted me like a long-lost friend who never paid back that $5 they borrowed.

First up, the pancakes. Oh, the pancakes! Fluffy like clouds and stacked like a tower of deliciousness. Each bite was a reminder that I had no intention of fitting into my jeans anytime soon. The variety was staggering, from classic buttermilk to chocolate chip extravaganzas that made my inner child giggle with glee.

Next, the eggs. They say eggs are versatile, but at IHOP, they're egg-cellent. Fried, scrambled, sunny-side up, you name it – they've got eggs for every occasion. I felt like I was in an egg-themed amusement park, and the roller coaster ride was my cholesterol level.

Let's not forget the coffee. Ah, the elixir of life, or at least the elixir of staying awake through a pancake-induced food coma. It was hot, it was caffeinated, and it was exactly what I needed to contemplate why I thought ordering the "all you can eat" pancakes was a good idea.

As for the service, it was top-notch. The waitstaff navigated the chaos of syrup spills and pancake-induced laughter with grace and the occasional knowing smile. They understood the delicate art of pretending not to judge while quietly contemplating their life choices.

In conclusion, IHOP is not just a restaurant – it's a journey. A journey into the heart of pancake perfection, where the only thing thicker than the syrup is the laughter. So grab your fork, your appetite, and your sense of humor, and embark on your own IHOP adventure. Just don't blame me when you end up in a...
