About IHOP

While categorized as a Chinese Restaurant on the platform, IHOP located at 632 Sycamore Ave, Vista, CA 92083, USA, is a well-known chain restaurant that primarily serves breakfast items, along with a variety of American cuisine for lunch and dinner. Based on recent customer reviews, experiences at this IHOP location appear to be mixed, with significant concerns raised about service and food quality.

One recurring issue highlighted by a customer who frequently visits after church on Sundays is the unfriendly demeanor of a particular server named Griselda. This customer, part of a family of seven, described instances where the server seemed unwilling to attend to their requests for drinks or sauces promptly, giving the impression of being overburdened and inattentive. They also reported an instance where their children's food was burned, but they chose not to complain due to fear of a negative reaction from the server. This customer noted that this was not an isolated incident.

Another review detailed a significantly negative experience. Upon arrival, the initial booth offered had a leaking ceiling with potential asbestos due to rain. After being moved, the wait for drinks was long, and other customers who arrived later had their orders taken first. When the food finally arrived, the fries and a classic chicken sandwich were cold, and the sandwich was described as looking "crazy." Additionally, a side order of sourdough toast was replaced with wheat toast, and a biscuit that was supposed to come with the meal was missing, yet both were charged. While this reviewer's friend found their burrito tasty, the overall takeaway was negative, citing long waits, being overlooked, poor food quality, and incorrect charges. This customer also mentioned waiting for a resolution to their issues as of March 39, 2025 (likely a typo for March 29 or 30, 2025, given the context of other dates).

In summary, recent reviews for the IHOP in Vista indicate potential issues with both service and food quality. Customers have reported unfriendly staff, long wait times, incorrect orders, cold food, and even safety concerns regarding the dining environment. While IHOP is generally known for its breakfast offerings, these recent experiences suggest that potential visitors to this specific location should be aware of these reported problems.

We love coming here after church on Sunday , sadly Griselda that always attends us is not very friendly. We are a family of 7 and she will say, let me know what you guys need I have other tables and can’t be coming here back and forth and it’s just drinks or sauces we ask for not a whole meal :/ as we ask for drinks she’s walking away from us as we talk so unfortunately she does have to go more than one round since she didn’t wait for us to finish talking seems like she’s in charge since she’s training other employees. The food was burned and my kids didn’t want it but we didn’t want her to give us a worst attitude so we didn’t say anything. It’s the second time we get her both times not very pleasant to come after church her unfortunately.

When my friend, her father and I first arrived we asked for a booth. It was about 12:30 in the afternoon. She tried to sit in the first booth but since it was raining the night before the ceiling was coming down. It was wet asbestos everywhere. She actually waited for us to sit down I said no we're not going to sit here. That's when she moved us to another place. It took a while to get us our drinks. Teresita, I think her name was, seated two groups of customers and took their orders before taking ours. When the food finally got to the table, the fries were cold and my classic chicken sandwich looked crazy. It was also cold. My friend dad ordered sourdough toast on the side and got wheat. He also did not get the biscuit that came with the meal. Yes we were charged for both. My friends fries were cold but her burrito she said was tasty. My take away from this place is they make a good breakfast burrito. So if you want to wait long, get overlooked, not be able to chew your chicken sandwich, and be charged for stuff you didn't get, come here. 3/39/2025 I'm still waiting for resolution....

Christina was the very best waitress the 4 of us ever experienced! We've never seen anyone work so hard and do so much! She took great care of us and lowered the blinds as we requested. She was perfect!0

Amanda is our server really nice and welcoming! We went in for dinner around 8:40 pm on a Tuesday night. Washroom really clean and tables are shiny and also clean.

Okay ihop is usually my go to, my experience at this location has been awful since October from lipstick on coffee cups not once but twice, to pancakes not cooked all the way through. I tried to give them still another try and they sat me down at a dirty table, I thought lady was getting something to clean it up but didn't come back so I asked another waitress for a cloth to wipe it down she said okay but went and sat another customer down and forgot I asked anything. I walked out, very disappointed.
