Score
IHOP 36-208 has been inspected eight times since 2022. The most recent visit was on Dec 29, 2025. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.
Inspection results have stayed in a similar range over the last few visits, averaging around four violations each.
When inspectors have written things up, “no paper towels” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.
That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Hialeah restaurants. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
