I recently visited IHOP at Erin Mills in Mississauga for lunch and had a mixed experience. Upon arrival, we had to wait for about 15 minutes before being seated, but the clean atmosphere and spacious waiting area, conveniently located near the front bathroom, made the wait comfortable. The pleasant reception at the front desk was a positive start.
Once seated, we were quite hungry and promptly placed our orders. Unfortunately, the coffee that was brought to our table was cold. However, our server, Yusra, quickly addressed the issue and brought us a fresh, hot pot. While this showed responsiveness, a bit more attentiveness initially could have prevented the mishap.
For my meal, I ordered the Poblano omelette. While it was tasty, it didn't quite match the picture on the menu, and the avocado was disappointingly tiny and not very appealing. It was supposed to be spicy, but I found it rather mild. My wife also had the veggie egg white omelette with mushrooms, which was delicious but, again, lacked the advertised amount of avocado. The fresh hot coffee paired nicely with our orange juice, though we had to dilute the juice as it was quite thick. A single serving was enough for two people.
Yusra was very friendly and listened to my concerns about the avocado, assuring me she would pass them on to the manager. The ambiance of IHOP is great for families, with a lively atmosphere that adds to the dining experience. Despite the initial hiccups, our meal was delicious.
Oh I forgot they also had gluten friendly pancakes which i enjoyed and was pleased they had.
Overall, IHOP at Erin Mills is a great place to dine with family. While there were some issues with the coffee and the avocado portions, the friendly service and tasty food made up for it. I would recommend giving it a try, especially if you're in the mood for a hearty meal.
