Been here many times but this time it really sucked. Everybody working the morning shift on Friday was walking around like zombies. Seating was slow, getting waited on was slow, getting meal was slower, had to go find waitress to get bill! Meal was screwed up! Brought strawberries and bananas in little bowls instead of on pancakes! Hash browns were cold! And on checkout, they didn't care!! This was in Casa Grande, Arizona!

It smells like a wet dog in the restaurant.. I’m here to have a heart transplant and wanted to eat my favorite before surgery…which was their pancakes.. I reach to pour the syrup it’s nothing but water and syrup… I asked the waitress to taste the syrup. She replied that’s exactly what it’s water and syrup.. It’s like the diluted the syrup with water… The waitress continues to bring me a total of 5 different syrup.. All the same. Management did not come out when I asked to speak with them. They just told her to remake my meal.. There wasn’t a point in remaking the meal if the syrup wasn’t right..
They was not busy at all for the manager not to come out to see what a customer wants. It was my husband and I and 2 other guys in the whole IHOP. She did not want to refund me my money.. But the kind waitress removed the meal because she knew it wasn’t being handled right by management… This date visited was September 18 around 10:30. My husband had the steak meal and I had pancakes and a burger.

With inflation skyrocketing, all restaurants and stores have increased their prices. IHop has made a tactical sales error in raising their beverage costs far too high, and leaving food lower. If they would lower the cost of a beverage (from the $4.09 now) by $1.50 to $2.59 - and raise all their meal prices by this same $1.50 - they would stay level - and probably increase sales. $4.09 is just too high for a glass of soda or cup of coffee - and take my word for it - this is scaring customers away.

ARRIVED - 10:25 PM. The following is a time-line of my final visit at the IHop located on Sunland Park Dr. in El Paso Tx. 07/06/23. Arrived (approx)- 10:20. Seated - 10:32 PM Wait staff Arrived- 10:47 PM. Drinks Arrived - 11:09 PM. Food Arrived. - 11:36 PM. 2nd Plate (corrected)- 11:41 PM. This has become the norm when visiting this franchise. The customer service is always horrific in one way or another. Either due to an abundance of staff "that seemed like they didn't want to be there" or not enough staff Killing themselves to get customers served.
The aforementioned example is what I experienced on my visit to the IHop in El Paso on last night. The initial wait to be seated in a less than 10% capacitance restaurant was bad enough. I witnessed 4 groups (including myself) stuck there waiting to be seated more than 10 mins. Once seated the real mental struggle began. I witnessed one guy seating customers, taking orders, delivering plates to tables and at the end of my visit seemingly acting as the busboy.
We sat approximately another 15 minutes before being attended to, the entire time watching others arrive and going through the exact same experience I had encountered. When food did arrive 76 minutes after my initial arrival and 64 minutes after being seated. The item ordered was Miles away from what was showcased on the menu. The water had a minor attitude, and understandably so, being he was technically running the restaurant himself. I often wondered when the waiter would disappear for minutes at a time, if he wasn';t actually cooking the food as well.

The IHOP on Bellaire in Richmond is HORRIBLE. I should have followed my first mind and left when I got there. After I was seated, I asked where the restroom was so I could wash my hands. To my surprise, there was no soap or hand sanitizer in the women's restroom. I walk towards a couple of waitresses and asked "Why isn't there any soap in the women's restroom?" They said people steal it. They directed me to the hand sanitizer dispenser by the hostess station. It was empty as well. I asked the hostess, how did they wash their hands, how did they keep them clean? There was no hand sanitizer in the entire restaurant. The manager brought a bottle of soap out of the kitchen and put it in the women's restaurant.
I washed my hands and sat at my table. I sat and sat and sat. I called the manager over after sitting for 58 minutes. Once I received my food, it was cold. I asked the manager if she could heat it up in the microwave for 2 minutes. She did and said she would give a discount for the inconvenience. I got my check and saw $1.33 discount. I would NEVER go to this IHOP again! Like I said, I should've followed my first mind and left when I got there.

I-Hop is overpriced food. It cost me $35 for a ham & cheese omelet, hash browns, toast and 1 waffle and ice tea. That's before any tip. They have the balls to charge $10.99 per waffle. And the so-called manager doesn't have a clue. I will never spend another dime in their restaurant. I can't believe they can stay in business robbing customers like this.

"I am very disappointed in the organization and the individual franchises' ability to choose when to honor the military discount policy. I had lunch with my mother the other day, and being over 55 years old, I ordered from the 55+ menu, which means that the meal is not discounted, and you only get smaller portions for what you are paying for. When I inquired about the military discount, the manager stated that it was already discounted. I explained that the meal was cheaper because of the smaller portion sizes and not the same as any other meals on the menu. He replied, 'Sorry, that is the policy.' So I called corporate, and they stated that they cannot force any franchise to do anything different from other stores. Furthermore, it's not their policy to give a discount on top of a meal that is already discounted.
The truth is that we have forgotten what so many have fought for, and we don't care that there are people who will put their lives in danger and give the ultimate sacrifice, even if that means they have to die for this country. Being a combat veteran or a veteran doesn't mean anything in the times we are living in. Let's hope that we don't have a WWIII, and then when your company goes out of business, you don't stand on the sidelines and cry. Location: 35 S Homestead Blvd, Homestead, FL 33030."

Wow, I have not been to an IHOP in years, and this will be the last time ever. I was in Bullhead City, AZ, and it was close. My granddaughter likes it, so why not? The whole experience was terrible, right from the get go. Not enough staff, long waits, messed up orders, sub-par food. This meal cost $60 and I think it was worth about $20. What a horror. The funny thing is that my daughter happened to be in Sedona, AZ at the same time, eating at one for the first time ever, and her experience was almost identical to mine! Bad service, long waits, and food that was not as ordered or described. She said to me, "I don't think they know what a burrito is." This was her first and last IHOP experience. People, don't go. Take my advice---almost anywhere else will be better!

My wife and I were having lunch today (March 7, 2023) at the IHOP located at 11100 SW 93ct RD in Ocala Florida. At about 2:10 PM a couple came in with a dog. This dog had a vest on that read "Support". They were allowed to be seated two tables from us. This dog was clearly not a trained Service dog as defined in Florida law. The dog was pulling on its leash and when the couple sat down the dog shook itself like a dog will do when it is wet. After seeing this my wife could not finish her lunch and we left.
It would be nice if IHOP employees were trained to know what a Service dog is under Florida Law and not allow other dogs to be brought inside to be around food when people are trying to eat. It was clear from the discussing the couple had with the server this was not the first time they had brought the dog into this IHOP. Florida like all States have laws that allow a true trained Service dog to allowed in restaurants and most all other places. However Florida law does not allow this access to "Support" dogs. My wife and I are very disappointed in this IHOP and doubt if we will go back.

I've had 4 orders delivered from IHOP and 3 or of the 4 orders were incomplete. Of the 3 incomplete orders they have not given me GRAVY for my Chicken Fried Steak! They've also substituted items I ordered, like the Jumbo Sausage subbed by regular Pork Sausage. With three orders of hot cakes, they did get the syrup right but gave me ONE butter. The ONLY order they got right was #3 out of the 4, because I contacted the Manager, before; during; and after the order by phone to make sure they got it right. I should NOT have to talk them through getting an order right. DO YOUR JOBS!!! SEE CHK #**. Web Order #**

3 of us went to IHOP on South 3rd Street in Terre Haute, Ind., and were extremely disappointed.

This is the second time this happens to us in the last 2 months. Please have someone investigate that location.

I had a craving for pancakes while running errands. Asked server for an order of scrambled eggs with pancakes on the side to go. Server asked for order three times (& checked with manager) before entering into system...He was new. Upon rec'g purchase (I didn't check receipt as order had been verified 3X and with the manager) I traveled to next destination 5 miles away to consume. The bag contained syrup packets, ketchup packets, utensils & an order of eggs w/ home fries & MOLDY rye toast... But no pancakes.
I called the restaurant & the supervisor said that I could return for more toast but would have to pay separately for an order of pancakes, claiming I was charged correctly since home fries come with eggs on combo orders. It didn't matter that I didn't want home fries. Not only did she not apologize for the MOLDY bread, she was clueless about the concept of remediating poor customer service. I contacted corporate office who responded with an apology & said the local franchisee would follow up with me. No one ever did. So disappointed in IHOP. It used to be a reliable breakfast place. (I still have the pictures awaiting contact by the franchisee.)

I ordered the 2-2-2 deal at approximately 12:30 PM on Thursday 16Jun22. I had not eaten anywhere else, including at my home, during the day in question. When I returned to the restaurant afterwards to inform them about the situation, both the manager and the owner refused to accept any responsibility nor refund any of my money (Bill was ONLY $6.68). The owner then inferred that it may have been alcohol related (I don't drink alcohol). They did not apologize nor offer any discount or refund, then quickly asked me to leave the premises indicating the police would be called if I didn't leave. I then offered to wait for the police outside, but they never actually came. Very bad business etiquette. I will never eat there again, not because of the presumed food poisoning, but because of their attitude toward me when I informed of myself getting sick. VBHD and VHD were notified of the issue. I hope this message may help someone else avoid this horrible IHOP & restaurateur.

I said I would never visit this location, but I did. I should've gone with my first mind. We arrived around 2:15pm today 10/30/21 and there were 3 employees outside twerking making Tik Tok videos. (2 females one guy) When we went in they had come back In and were serving plates, I don't think they even had enough time to wash their hands. We waited about ten minutes, I had to go up to the counter and ask for service because all of the employees were twerking in the back left hand corner of the restaurant. We finally got served, but then an argument broke out between management and staff. It was about customer service ironically. This location is ghetto, and not to mention some sketchy characters hang around outside the area. The owner needs to clean house and rehire. Savannah, GA 204 Location

I placed on online order at 7:45 PM for a pick up time of 8:30 PM, I arrived as scheduled. I waited in my car as instructed to do so when I placed the order "due to covid 19 and CDC mandates, please wait in your car your order will be brought out to you." The system of texting was down (you used to text a number upon arrival and then they would come out apparently that's not working and so you needed to call." I called the number. I was met by a rude woman on the other end of the line. She was short, curt, and I was still asking questions when she abruptly said someone would bring it out. I was trying to find out if my order was at least being warmed. During this time she hung up on me,
Once inside I found my order just sitting there. Grease all over the bag of condiments I suppose (it was a brown paper bag). I had felt the order. It was cold, I advised the lady who FINALLY came to the counter, (they saw me at the counter) I heard someone order someone to go help the lady at the counter but it was ANOTHER 10 Minutes before FINALLY someone came to check on me. I adv them my order was cold and I didn't want it. They asked me if I wanted them to remake it. I said "either that or refund me but I am NOT accepting this cold order." 30 minutes later we are now at almost 10pm. Was given my order and I took it home and to my horror it was NOT REMADE. IT WAS REHEATED!!!! The side of bacon was now a side of jerky. The lettuce on the BLT was wilted and disgusting. The mayonnaise was gross.
The burrito was even worse. Totally a reheated tortilla and the contents inside (egg, hashbrowns, and bacon pieces was like rubber (eggs), wood chips(hash browns) and jerky (bacon). The Reese's pancakes were totally rubber with regurgitated peanut butter, that type of disregard for consumers is going to cause someone food poisoning, anyone knows you don't reheat Mayonnaise and just the idea that they would make me wait 30 freaking minutes for a 2 minute reheat job is ludicrous,
This is NOT an isolated incident with this branch of IHOP, approximately a month ago, I ordered an order online at 6 am for a 10:30 am pick up time, when I arrived at the restaurant I was approached by a young disrespectful individual who when asked if my order was ready told to "go through the bags (points to about 10 plastic bags all thrown on a table or tossed about by customers looking for their order). It's over there and if nots you'll just have to wait-looks at a room full of people and said who's next as in if I was dismissed." I asked for a manager actually I loudly demanded a manager 2 waitresses just stood there so I walked to the back and found someone standing there and told them "get me a manager NOW" manager comes out, asks my name another 10 minutes goes by she comes out says she can't find my order am I sure I ordered and do I Have proof.
I told her I ordered online from my computer at home she told me well I am going to need to see that so I was made to drive home get the order and go back to the restaurant (SERIOUSLY) it takes the manager about 10-15 minutes after she was notified I was back to come out she is starting to get closer and approach me when she sees a termed employee standing there with her uniform in her hand and what does she do? She turns around before approaching me all the way because she saw the former employee there as well and made me wait ANOTHER 15 minutes while she went back in the back and got all of the paperwork to end this employee's position and then when she came back did she come up to the customer first (me) and apologize take ownership for the delay. NO!!!! She goes up to the employee that was terminated after hearing the convestation.
Take place right in front of me. It became clear the employee had been terminated (that should have been a conversation for a private area). Made small talk with her, took the uniform. Explained the paperwork she handed her THEN she FINALLY addresses me and my concern and was a complete raunch about it, I unleashed on her. ABSOLUTELY I DID. I was supposed to pick up an order at 10:30 am. It's now after NOON!!!! I had to argue with her, to acknowledge the fact they screwed up. She never did take ownership or accountability.

Waited 30 minutes to get seated, and waited almost an hour for food. They kept getting our orders wrong. They gave us microwaved pancakes, the cheesy chicken bacon ranch was supposed to be a bowl of rice with grilled chicken, cheese, and bacon, but the chicken was raw and everything was in separate plates with no cheese or bacon at all. They told us there was no salad after we had already ordered and waited. The chicken tenders we ordered were old and really hard, didn’t even feel like chicken.
We had to ask for a strawberry milkshake twice, because they never got to actually making it. I was served tap water that tasted dirty as my drink, not to mention the place looked pretty dirty considering they had just opened about an hour before we went. We were 10 people and the order was over $100, the experience here was pretty terrible. I will never visit this location again.

9/25. I told who I believed to be the manager about my allergy to soy. Yet her only reply was what contains soy. I then had to tell her it was in breads, some milk produces, candies etc. Which she said, "Does gluten-free work for you." Like it was my job to guess what had soy in it or not. When IHOP does offer an online allergy-free site to see what contains a certain allergy or not. I found this out after 1 minute or research into IHOP. I don't even work there!

We were there for a good 45 minutes waiting for our server ** to come to our table so we could get the order set straight and done right, he never came. Meanwhile in the kitchen you could hear, what we believe, the cook yelling and complaining about how the job is not worth it for $15 an hour. He was cussing and really loud. I finally got another server to come to my table and I asked for a manager, what a surprise, no manager.
** then suddenly appears asking why I want to see a manager. He would have know if he had come to our table to check how the food was. At that point he says, "Oh well let me get you new pancakes and the burger well done." This was 45 minutes too late. I tried to be patient and give him a chance in that time we waited.

It was the most horrific service on planet earth. I am certain that I am not exaggerating. They made customers wait in the lobby and only one waiter/waitress at time would come to seat whichever customer was next, while the other wait staff made certain that when they walked by they did not make eye contact with anyone in the lobby to avoid being questioned about when they would seated and what the hold up was etc. Whichever wait staff did the seating, would get drink orders and food orders of the party they just seated before they would come to the lobby again and ask who was next. Completely disorganized.
Why can't they be like other restaurants and just seat everyone to avoid having customers wait for two hours. I mean give me a break, they only keep the restaurant about half full to begin. I worked as a waiter for 5 years. You are supposed to seat as many customers as you can and take their drink orders and take their food orders later on when you're caught up. Horrible!
When one of the customers complained to the manager, her excuse was that she was very understaffed with only 4 wait staff. I have seen restaurants with only 2 wait staff seat 50 plus customers with no problem. Yes it's hectic, but you should do anything to avoid having customer wait for two hours. They weren't courteous enough to offer complimentary beverage for the inconvenience. The only reason I even bothered to tip was because I am a teacher/coach, and the waitress recognized me because she graduated 6 years ago from the high school I teach at and she was very courteous and polite.

After waiting 15 minutes to even be seated we waited another 20 minutes and hadn't been asked for our drink order. Given the fact that there was only five tables being served in the entire place at the time it didn't seem such a big deal to me. Us being one of the five tables. Less than friendly staff absolutely horrible service. And despite the fact that I've never actually eaten their food I will never ever go back there. We went to the Irondequoit location in Rochester New York but I will not be visiting any locations. If I could give less than one star I would definitely do it. So very disappointed in the whole experience. The overall impression of the restaurant was disgusting. Tables weren't washed seeds were dirty and so on. I got up and walked out.

I purchased a meal for my family from here through Uber Eats. Now I know uber eats is responsible for not being able to find a driver but if I can see that so can you. I placed my order at 10:15. It didn't say they found a driver until 11:30 but for some reason my food was made at 10:15 and just sat until someone showed up. Waffles and pancakes had been sitting for 2hrs and you sent it out the door. My food was delivered at 12:20am and you're only 5miles down from me. I understand uber eats couldn't find a driver and that's not your fault but you as an establishment sent cold food out your door as if it was the customer's fault

I always loved this place but this last time it was a disgrace, waited for table then they brought us to the table still with stuff left from last customer not even sanitized, I waited and asked to have the table wiped then I notice they was doing to another table too but I guess the customer did not noticed, the waiter wiped my table and and while was wet she put the menus that got all soak and she expected us to seat then. Another waiter dry it out the table when I appreciated for it, I told them. I was not supposed have to tell them to have the table sanitized and ready before bring a customer to the table.
Honestly I was so disappointed because I noticed they was not sanitizing the tables at all and the service was horrible. My daughter got chicken fingers that was hard to eat and my son asked for chocolate chip pancakes and it came chocolate pancakes. It was such of waste of my money with such a terrible service.

I signed up for a free stack of pancakes on 10/31/20. In the IHOP website it is advertised that "You can get the free stack NOW" after signing up. I did not receive any coupon via my email immediately. Instead, literally 24 hours later, I received a coupon voucher to be used at an address in Glendale, CA. My address is in Austin, Tx and my address is saved in the IHOPmembership too. Today 11/3/20, I spoke with a "Josh" about still not receiving that coupon. He stated that he is the supervisor but that it would take another 2-3 days to receive the coupon with the corrected address. I find utterly surprising as all of this is done electronically. Meaning that coupon is most likely in a template and just the wording would need rectifying. What a disappointment and quite frankly false advertising on IHOP.

Everything was super spotted and didn't feel clean or any measures to prevent the spread of the virus. They wore masks, but that is the only thing I saw they made sure of.
The quality of food and flavor was horrible. Way too much butter and grease was used and the butter was either old or added something slimy and sweet. Service from the waitress was slower than a snail. I saw my plate literally sitting in the kitchen window for 15 minutes before it was brought to me. Plate was hot, but not the food.

My family and I chose IHOP in McMinnville to have breakfast today and we are very disappointed. Our server had a rude and uninviting attitude and body language when we were not ready to order at her first check in. When requested ahead of time to split the check between two sets of four meals, she seemed inconvenienced and had a snide comment "I guess." The server never came to refill coffee or ask if we needed anything.
Our Omelettes were cold. I had asked at time of order for bacon to be added to my omelet and when it came it had none. Another server saw me looking around for help and she asked if everything was alright and I told her our issue. At that time our server came over briefly and when I told that there was no bacon she walked away and stated loudly and embarrassingly that "she would pay for it." When our server came back to bring us the check she stated again without needing too loudly and rudely again that she had paid for the bacon (nobody needed her to pay for bacon that was never added in the first place).
I was completely appalled and dissatisfied at her level of customer service and her general attitude. I don't usually make it a point to complain or reach out if I have a bad experience, but this experience was not acceptable and our server in my opinion is hurting your business. This is a time that I feel support to local businesses is very important, unfortunately I highly doubt I will ever return. I also feel compelled to tell others how I was treated.

Wife and I while on vacation to visit a family friend who lives in McMinnville came to this IHOP to eat. The young man that waited on us was very polite but just OFF. Food was served that wasn't ordered, Food that was ordered came wrong, and a salad was delivered 10 minutes after the meal came. To make a long story short a meal wasn't eaten and when we went to pay the bill they refused to remove the incorrect/uneaten meal of roughly $15. The manager ((Samantha ??)) comes out huffs and puffs and FINALLY removes the incorrect/uneaten meal from our tab. And although service was BAD We STILL TIPPED $7.00.
The very next day our Mcminnville host took us to Dallas, Oregon for lunch. While dining we received a call from her 28 year old daughter who was at IHOP getting her child some pancakes. She informed us that right now in the moment the manager ((Samantha?)) is loudly and belligerently complaining to her "Regulars" about this group that wanted "Everything Free" the night before, and how she had to "Take their salad back". She went on to say "There was just no pleasing them", blah blah blah. Again, She is stating all this very loudly, and unknowingly in front of a family friend/Mcminnville resident. I call this manager ((Samantha??)) and tell her that I don't find her actions to be professional, to which she replies "Your family shouldn't of been eavesdropping" and "I'm sorry YOU feel that way".
Days later we fly back to Phoenix and get in touch with a guy that claims to be the Manager of IHOP for the whole state of Oregon ((Gordon)). I relay our experience to him and he runs that whole "That's Unacceptable" and "I can't tell you what I'll be doing but I will be handle this" spiel. When I ask him to completely refund our meal cost either by refund or gift card he absolutely refuses and states that he doesn't do that. So in other words, he expected to dazzle us with BS and THAT would resolve or make up for the horrible experience at his store.
When I told him that that wasn't acceptable and that I would reach out to corporate he stated "Go ahead, it will just come back to me". He then said he was "Done with this conversation" and hung up on me. At no time did I raise my voice, nor curse at this man. So for this state district manager to just rudely hang up on a customer because they stated "That's not acceptable", just shows the character of whos running the IHOP stores in Oregon. So Before I start writing reviews and to the BBB, I figured I'd better get the correct name of the manager at IHOP in Mcminnville.
So I call, A woman answers, and I ask, "Hi, can I get the managers name please." This woman responds "That's me, what do you want "?? I ask, "Can I get your name maam?" She states "Why do you need my name"?? I tell her that I'm filing a complaint and that I'd just like to know the name of the person that I'm filing a complaint upon, and all I am asking for is the managers FIRST name, why is that so difficult???
She then spouts off with... "I know who you are and about your complaint, you are HARRASSING US, don't call here again!!!" and hangs up. Weird thing about it this woman wasn't even the manager that I was complaining about. This woman's name was "Kelsey". I've never spoken to her before, and like I said she wasn't even the manager in question. Way to jump right in there and get YOURSELF squarely in the middle of a complaint " KELSEY", HA!!
Anyways the manager that gave us horrible service, and then followed it up with loudly bitching and complaining about it to her regulars the next day. AND OUR Mcminnville family friend, well that manager's name is "Samatha". So to Kelsey, Samantha, and Gordon ((the supposed Manager of all IHOPS in the state of Oregon)) I would strongly recommend that you take up a refresher course in customer service, or if not, perhaps a job at the local truck stop would suit your behavior better. Our treatment was uncalled for, and rather than just refund us they refused to do ANYTHING, and then insulted us even more.

This special menu is perfect. Food items are consistently good so we know what to expect. I am fortunate to have an IHOP within three miles of me, but would drive further for its offerings.

I rate the restaurant absolutely horrible! My family and I had just arrived in West Palm Beach Florida from San Jose, Costa Rica. We flew into FLL and arrived in WPB at 10pm. After checking into the Holiday Inn Palm Beach-Airport Conference Center location, we were starving. The hotel's restaurant was closed. We had noticed an IHOP right down the street, so we decided to go there. It was only 2 blocks away. The parking lot was deserted. After parking and getting out the car to enter the restaurant, we saw 2 employees exit the restaurant at a back door to go smoke.
After going into the restaurant, there were two or three tables with customers already seated. The restaurant was very rundown and did not have a good smell. It smelled dirty. We saw only 1 waitress getting food for customers. There was no hostess. After standing there several minutes, no one came to greet us or even acknowledged that we had entered the restaurant. So we decided to leave and go somewhere else. Upon leaving the restaurant, we noticed 1 of the employees that had left earlier to go smoke, leaning on a rail smoking and talking on her mobile. Like I said, absolutely horrible service and cleanliness of the restaurant. DO NOT VISIT THIS IHOP.

I've eaten at IHop a number of times because my friend likes it. I get the basic 2 eggs special. My friend gets the Fancy Pancakes or Crepes which are loaded with unhealthy trans fat and huge amounts of sugar. A super unhealthy combination of useless empty calories. Their coffee is very good though not worth coming for. My choice was fair and also not worth coming back for

Took my parents to eat at the IHOP at Epps Bridge Rd, Athens, GA. Walked in the door, noticed there was a plastic odor. Was seated, waited for the server, the odor was ever present. Placed our order. When the food arrived, IT had that god awful plastic odor. The oil the cooks are using reeks of a plastic smell, the food tasted like plastic, was terrible. I sent my plate back, to be taken off our bill. My parents picked at their food, too polite to send it back. I told the server the food was awful. The whole feel to the place was like a dead zone. No good food smells, just that plastic odor. Never stepping foot into another IHOP. The chain has really hit the skids. Used to be a really great place to eat.

Great place to go for good food in a good atmosphere. I've always liked the variety of food choices. Customer Service is ALWAYS fantastic. I think to make it outstanding, it's important to remember your roots and where you come from, instead of trying to re-invent (remember IHOb?) Staying competitive is important and I have no doubt that IHOP will continue to improve and strive for the best, but remember your base and what brings you to popularity.

The IHOP I go to is real good as far as getting seated promptly. The wait staff seem to be in such a hurry all the time when taking an order then the food takes longer than it should. I have had to send back an order because the waitress wrote the item incorrectly. Then after I got home I realized I paid for the wrong meal, not what I had to wait longer for. I did not call as it was not more than $1.60 more and it was not worth it. Perhaps she was having a bad day. The bathroom generally smells as if there is a sewer problem. Other than that it’s all good.

This is one of my favorite places to eat. You can get breakfast or burgers at anytime of the day. I have never had a bad meal there. Food portions are large. I usually take about 1/2 of my meal home. So I really get 2 meals for the price of one. Wait staff are friendly and helpful. If you ask they even have flavored creamers for your coffee! They give you a pitcher of coffee. They will also refill it for free. Their decaf coffee is never old and yucky. The place is kid friendly. They give a coloring placemat, a small box of crayons to kids. I often find coupons in my local paper for buy one meal, get another free. I often take my 90 year old neighbor there for brunch.

Waiting over 40 minutes for a Belgian Waffle Combo and 1 Belgian Waffle, the food was cold; so I requested a new order. I advised the so-called manager I didn't want the food reheated, but a brand new order. She said she would make a new order, but she brought the same cold order. This is a newly opened IHOP in Lovejoy, GA. This was the worst customer service that I have ever received in a Ihop. The management and waitstaff needs to be trained in good customer service and time-management skills. Although I only live 5 minutes away, I will go back to the Fayetteville Ihop.

My wife and I used to go to IHOP at least once a week for years. Then, several months ago I found that the food took a turn for the worst. The main thing was the hash browns. The best thing I like about breakfast. They served a small, square portion that tasted terrible. Plus the breakfast was not warm. I complained about it and was told they no longer make their hash browns from scratch and now used frozen hash browns. That ruined my breakfast experience. I then tried them again due to receiving a gift card for my birthday from my daughter. Again, I asked about whether the hash browns were made there or frozen. I was told it was frozen. That to me is not a real breakfast from a restaurant of their caliber, and I do not ever plan on eating there again if they have to go that cheap.
I told my daughter, even though I greatly appreciated the gift card, not to send another IHOP gift card. I gave the balance of the card to the waitress as a tip. I found a mom and pop restaurant for my breakfasts now that make their hash brown from scratch, for half the price. IHOP you are going down with your cold meals and your frozen, premade hash browns.

Thank you Anny for doing your job so very well & professional. You're a role model to the other waiters & waitresses there.

We stopped at the IHOP on Peculiar Dr close to Kansas City this morning and it was absolutely the worse service ever. We stood and waited forever to be seated and there were only about 4 other customers already seated. The waitress was not very nice. Took forever to get our drinks. Then when the food came out my order was messed up and had to go back. My parents were almost done eating by the time I got my food and all I ordered was a scrambled egg sandwich. The server that brought our drinks out had poor hygiene. Dirty hair and nails. When the waitress brought my sandwich out she just basically tossed my plate in front of me and my sandwich flew off the plate on to table.
No one checked on us to offer us more drinks. We had to get up and search for silverware. And when we were leaving they didn’t have change for a 20 and was going to keep the change! We did not leave a tip because we were treated poorly. This establishment is ridiculous. When we expressed our concern and asked for a manager we were denied to opportunity to speak to one and the waitress asked what they done wrong. When my mom tried to tell her what was wrong the waitress butted in and wouldn’t let us talk. I had to talk over her to tell her the other waitress threw my sandwich on the table. We will never eat there again and wouldn’t suggest anyone to waste their time and money there. Just very poor service.

Keep in mind this was our first ever visit to an IHOP (we are both around 50 years old), but were out of town in Davenport, Iowa and wanted breakfast food for lunch. We stood in the waiting area to be seated for a few minutes (restaurant was nearly empty), even noticed the sign on the counter "no bills over $50" while waiting. We were seated near the kitchen as we avoided items on the floor. We ordered our drinks, the waitress mentioned she was new and slightly frazzled, then my fiancé went to the car to get us jackets since it was freezing.
We could hear multiple people chatting the kitchen, yet over an over later and we still had no food. Iced tea was warm, Coffee was lukewarm, and the once the food came was actually COLD. We told her how cold the food was, asked for boxes to just take it to go, paid $30 for one of the worse meals we have ever had. Keeping in mind we were the ONLY people seated on the entire WEST side of the restaurant. The East side possibly had a total of 20 people. How does it take over an hour to make pancakes, eggs, hash browns, biscuits, gravy, and toast?
