What diners say — our read

Diners writing about this place keep returning to service. Where service comes up, the rating that follows averages 4.5, so it reads as a strength.

If you had to pick one number to represent this corpus it would be 5, the most frequently given rating (21 reviews). One subject never comes up here: how clean the place looks. Of the 26 rated reviews, 24 sit at four stars or better and 2 at two or below.

The inspection lands in between as well: DBPR graded this kitchen a B (89/100), citing 1 intermediate and 8 basic violations. DBPR last walked in on May 7, 2026. Ranked against Orange County, it is safer than 40% of the restaurants we score. The citations behind that grade include cross-contamination and clean clothes.

With both signals pointing the same way, there is little to argue about on this listing. The individual reviews are below, newest first, if you want the raw material.

    Wonderful food experience...but security is an issue..I felt threatened when an individual came in and was screaming epithets.. I was horrified and scared for my life due to so many shootings that have occurred.

    My server Camilla was wonderful server and very polite. She made sure I was ok and stop by to check on me frequently. I love that . However sitting close to the kitchen i heard I guess the cook fussing about not recooking and fixing food the right way and other stuff. My other concern is have been coming to IHop for years and gets the same order. But as an Adult the pancakes have shrink to the size of feeding a 7 year old and this is making me consider my choice of eating. I am expecting to pay for what the size I should be eating. If the pancake is smaller the price should change to less. I am disappointed in the pancake size.

    Breakfast was good. Service was slow. They brought us small pitcher for the coffees that only held two cups. I asked repeatedly for more coffee and was never given more. Panicked to twenty minutes to arrive, after the rest of my food was eaten, and they were cold. Paid $8 for two cups of coffee and was ignored repeatedly when I requested refill.
