Review from Antonella M.

It's a real turnoff is a guy says he doesn't like pancakes, but it's an even bigger turnoff if a guy says he doesn't like eating breakfast for dinner...
This is the biggest IHOP I've been to, lots of parking, very close to the NJ turnpike & highways, and across the street from a huge mall with a movie theater. The service is good. The bathrooms are clean. What more could you want with a place? The combos are cheap so you get a Lil bit of every imaginable breakfast food for under 9 bucks (even Nutella crepes). And for those that have to dine with people (coworkers in my case) that refuse to eat breakfast they have regular food as well for cheaper than the average AppleBee's prices (like Spinach n Artichoke dip 3.99). So overall, go to IHOP, not just this one, but especially this one... -

I don't know what is it with the servers at I-Hop. They can't seem to get your order right the 1st time around geezzzzzz, all I wanted were my eggs over easy, not scrambled. And I love the fact that while I was seated fairly quickly, I waited over 20 minutes for my order to be taken and another 10 minutes for my coffee to be served... Just kick me in the balls why don't you!

Review from Tim A.

Wow, this is the nicest, cleanest iHop I've been in... The best part it's hasn't attracted the ghetto trash yet and hopefully it won't. Food hasn't come yet so I'll continue the review thereafter. Food just arrived and it looks awesome and it took only minutes after we ordered!!! Nice Job!!!
Ok, the food was great.... as I expected.... -

The area around the Jersey Gardens Mall has seen a lot of development over the course of the past five years. Where there were once empty plots of land now stand hotels, theaters and restaurants. A gleaming section of this used to be the Jersey Garden Diner, a big red and chrome structure that was catching to the eye, but never seemed to do much business.
Now that property has been taken over by a chain. With its exterior renovated to match the familiar blue and beigi IHOP colors, the interior maintains much of the original structure but with new, warmer decor. The restaurant is roughly an L shape. You come in at the right angle on the "L" and can wait in a comfortable waiting area (with lots of bench space) before you get seated. The restaurant then goes off to the left or right. This time around I was seated to the left.
I've been trying to eat healthier lately so IHOP was not my first choice of restaurants, but it was the closest thing to a diner in the general vicinity so I went for it. I was seated quickly and the staff was friendly while also being efficient. I noticed there are two cashiers and then two additional stations for waiters to put in their orders, very nice.
When I looked at the menu, buried under listings of bacon and cheesecake pancakes is a nice healthy set of omelets. I chose the mushroom, spinach and cheese omelet with a side of fruit instead of the pancakes. For some added fun I tossed in a side of turkey sausage. When the food arrived, the omelet was easily 1/3 bigger than I expected. The sausage order gave me four small links (roughly the size of store bought breakfast sausages) and the fruit was a nice mix of canteloupe, grapes and honeydew.
The omelet was a huge surprise not just in size, but also in flavor. It had a wonderful hollandaise sauce on it that was creamy and light in flavor. The veggies were cooked well and the omelet was definitely hearty. The turkey sausage was spicy and tasted fantastic. The fruit plate seemed a bit small at first, but I was so gorged on the other food I realized quickly it was actually just the right size. I also ordered coffee, and true to IHOP style they leave a pitcher of coffee for you at the table - awesome!
My entire order came out to around $15, which was more than respectable considering the sheer amount of food I had on my plate.
The setting is clean and nice looking, the staff is good and the food is worth the money and tasty. I'm happy to know I now have another breakfast stop in the area! -

When I hear IHOP, I think of pancakes and the inevitable wait for a table. But to my surprise, the 6 of us were seated promptly in the back area of the restaurant. I didn't order any of their special pancakes because a few friends had pancakes with their order plus there was Strawberry Cheesecake pancakes for sharing around the table.
I went for the spinach and mushroom omelette with a side of fresh fruit. The omelette was HUGE! It was delicious especially with a touch of hollandaise sauce. I spread some love by sharing my omelette. In doing so, I was able to sample the yummy, fluffy pancakes and tater tots. There's 4 choices of syrup on each table: Butter Pecan, Bluberry, Strawberry and Original. The butter pecan was my favorite! My fresh fruits were, surprisingly, ripe to perfection. The pineapples, canteloupe, honeydew and grapes were a nice compliment to my fluffy yet filled omelette.
Service was attentive considering places like this can get quite busy. This was an enjoyable experience for a 'diner like' chain restaurant that I never thought much of. The portion sizes definitely do correlate with the prices. So take it easy on the wallet and your waistline (and guilt) may thank you too. And yes, the Strawberry Cheesecake was good! -

It's a good thing there aren't many IHOPs around Brooklyn and the CIty because I'd be here every weekend for breakfast!
My 2nd time to an IHOP and while our table and menu was a little bit sticky from all the syrupy goodness from customers past, the service was fairly accomodating - especially seeing we were situated in the back. Good bang for your buck, but it is really best to avoid ordering anything too big. The prices do sort of reflect the quantity of food you're gonna get so be wise and watch the wasteline. -

One of the cleanest IHOP's I've been to. The food is good. Still waiting for a hoodrat fight to pop off while i'm there so I can YouTube it... lol. Anywho, the wait staff leaves much to be desired, not the brightest group of kids. I literally got asked once "Is strawberry a fruit?" I kid you not. But they got my order right after repeating it 3 times and I got it quickly which is pretty much all that matters to me.

HOP on over to IHOP after a long day of shopping at Ikea & Jersey Garden Mall.
First time we went to a IHOP with NO lines waiting. Upon entering this IHOP we were greeted by a friendly host. Sat down and our waitress came right over, name Samantha. I had the philly cheese steak & my wife had the inter. crepe passport. For a lunch time crowd, we got our food right away. The portions were big and piping hot. She also checked on us with a smiley face, and didn't get rushed out. So much better then Mall food.
We will definitely come back to this IHOP whenever we are driving by NJ Turnpike. -
