51 Conley Rd, Columbia, MO 65201
VERY VERY crowded but was told wait would be less than 30 minutes. Many people were ordering ahead and picking up orders. We were actually seated within 20-25 minutes.
We were greeted fairly quickly for drink orders. Took a little longer than usual for order but considering how busy they were and appeared to be a little understaffed, not bad.
We put in our order:
O Southwest Chicken Bowl with Hash Browns
O New York Cheesecake Pancakes
O Side of Potatoe Pancakes.
Food was delivered within 10-12 minutes (🤯🤯🤯) hot and smelling great. As you can see, we dug in before taking photos- sorry).
IHOP usually does a good job of serving people and food fast and efficiently.
This location shows what great people can do to make you feel welcome and give you an enjoyable dining experience even when they are busy.
Try them for the food and reasonable prices. Come back for the comfort food and people.
Outstanding job. Keep up the great work.
Went there with son on a Groupon. He normally doesn't like breakfast type places because he doesn't do wheat sensitive to eggs. So that takes out quite a bit from a breakfast place. I found online that IHOP has gluten free options so we went.
When we first talked to the waitress she wasn't sure if they had any GF options left. They probably don't have a huge demand for it so if you need it you might call ahead to check. Fortunately they did have stock for it. So he ordered. I got his eggs. I wasn't thinking. I got a cheese omelet. Next time with the kid I'll get eggs and meat separately so we can trade even eggs for meat.
Anyway good stuff not awesome but I liked it. The cheese omelet was ok. Got the extra strawberries and bananas for topping the pancakes. The strawberries tasted like they were from a frozen bag. I guess I have to expect that unless I'm going to a fancier place. The GF cakes were thinner but that was also expected from when we make them. The cakes I got (3) were big enough to cover the plate entirely. So as not to make a mess when I poured syrup I made a small well/hole in the center of my cakes. That kept my syrup from spilling out over the plate until I'd eaten enough cakes that it wouldn't spill. You dont just get an analysis of the food with my reviews you get some engineering tips too.
Ok food. Nice people. Busy place. Higher review primarily because they could do GF and the helps us.
The menu has changed a bit since I was last here, for the better! I love that you can order an omelette meal and get flavored pancakes on the side. The different kinds of pancake options are mind blowing and I want to try them all lol. We went for a birthday party and based on the rewards from that one visit alone I could visit again with my family and practically eat for free! Staff is super quick and attentive while maintaining that family feel.
the ambiance and the food they serve were up-to my expectation
The strawberry New York cheesecake pancakes my husband got were amazing with the little pieces of cheesecake in them. He was satisfied. He also had hash browns and was delighted to see when he asked for cheese on them they loaded up the cheese. They were cheesey goodness. My cinna stix pancakes were to die for. Honestly best pancakes I have eved had. They even had cinnamon filling between pancakes and not just all that glaze on top. I was impressed how much of the cinna glaze they used and really didnt need syrup. As for the interior of the place. The wood on the chairs is chipping and peeling and they were using napkins to even out a table. It was clean though. They can't help it probably just needs a remodel. Shout out to my waitress Amy Lou. She was attentive but not bothersome. She was very kind. I didn't once feel like she was hovering or annoying. Our table never felt abandon and she always made sure our drinks were filled if we wanted them to be. The whole staff seemed welcoming and friendly to every customer that walked in the door. They all had smiles on their faces and even if they didnt actually enjoy their job, you couldn't tell by the smiles and friendly behavior.
It was a lovely time, me and my sister were eating breakfast that morning when she was preparing for her Junior finals, IHOP had always been our favorite and this location is by far the best I've been! I look forward to going again in the not so distant future.
