Placed an online order. Waited until 5-10 minutes to pick it up because some times they are busy. When I arrived the only two host were outside hanging out with friends. I walked in and the two cooks were were in the back looking at me as if I had two heads.

There was one other couple at the table whom looked like they finished their meal and we're waiting for the check. After several minutes one of the host came in to see if I needed help. I let her know I had a to go order.

She went to the counter top I front of the kitchen to finally start packing up the food that had been sitting there for who knows how long because there was only one other customer in the store.

Finally I can get my order and go home. I got home to find only partial of the order was correct. They forgot the entire…

Hello, I’m not used to complaining but I really wanted to bring something to your attention. My wife and I have frequented your ihop restaurants for years and in doing so we’ve grown accustomed as to what to expect. Today for lunch we went to the ihop in Rogers Arkansas (I-49 & Walnut) and we were shocked at what we saw there, the walls were filthy where the tables meet the wall, there was food and?

Stuck on the wall (several tables) Almost all the individual chairs were so worn that the stain was worn down to the bare wood on the backrest(s). We had to constantly swat away the flies from landing on either us or our food.

The wall paint and trim paint had chips missing everywhere. I could go on… I thought that maybe you weren’t aware of the conditions in this specific location but it’s…

I placed a to go order at 2:00am. and when I got to the IHOP in Cedar Hill, TX I followed the procedures and texted my name and parking number to the given phone number. There was no response. I knocked on the door, blew my horn, flashed my lights, and called the store.

The sign says opened 24 hours, so there is no reason I was not able to get my food at 2:00 in the morning. There is no sign in sight stating they were closed. Since this incident happened, I had to spend even more money on other food.

Rude management. Went to pick up an order was told i should just leave(from manager).

Finally got the food over 45 min later(quick 2 egg breakfast) Was told not to bother coming back to this restaurant (from the manager). I was nice and cordial, unlike the Manger. As if I ever would put myself through that again she obviously doesnt understand customers are what keep the doors open.

If you would like to be ignored from the staff and have a terrible customer relations interaction with cold food, this is the place for you. If not, please do not waste your money on this, many other restaurants that would love to have your business.

My complaint is rude staff My family got there about 10:00 clock this morning. After we were seated. Nobody came and ask want do we want to drink. So my mom asked one of the worker can she have some water.

She said I just people to there table. And walk off. It's took 30 minutes to 40 minutes for someone come to the table. After we finally got our drinks they took our order. We waited for the food to come.

We didn't get no food and we was there going on two hours and we didn't get no food. So we left. I will not be going back to that restaurant again. Very poor service. Need new staffing.

The port Arthur ihop is in dire need of management. I waited 70 minutes for three breakfast meals. This place is maybe 30% capacity, so there’s plenty of cooks back threre. The bacon is always under cooked, French toast is tasted bland.

Dear Ihop!

I would like to request a full refund because we were very disappointed at 13201 Ranch Rd 620N in Austin, Texas. I got a free pancakes coupon that I showed to the waiter who said he had never seen anything like it, (I felt uncomfortable because they thought I was lying and showing fake code),but the manager would come here to our table and check it out. We waited a half hour, neither the waiter nor the manager came to our table.A half hour later, we said we wouldn’t pay the bill and we were leaving because they weren’t served, but they wanted to call a police officer. We will never go to the Ihop restaurant with my family and friends again and I will share a negative comment online if we cannot agree. I am sending the coupon about the free pancakes attached and proof of payment

Terrible terrible service. The worst in Carrollton Texas. I will never, ever go to this shit hole again. I hope they are bought out. It is the worst IHOP that I have ever been to. This pkace used to be ok but I guess the pandemic changed all of that.

Take a look at this location's ratings. For the last 3 months the ratings have been terrible and people are going elsewhere. Again, terrible service.

We waited 30 mins and our food never came out. When we were leaving them over food started coming out. I told the server we were leaving and I would pay for the drinks we had, he said okay and gave me the ticket.

I asked to talk to the manager and he never came out. A manager should always see what's the customer complaint. Instead of sending a server. He is a sorry excuse of a manager and the cooks need more training, as well as the servers, it's about the customer, work together instead of its not my table.

Worst service I've ever experienced. This particular ihop needs help asap! Walked in today with a line of people waiting to pay and be seated but no one was there to help or greet at all. Took at least 20mins just for someone to come and help and even customers behind me were saying the service is horrible and the restaurant wasn't even busy at all it was dead inside more then half the place was empty.

My server barely spoke English and was new so she also had no idea what she was doing at all.. I was only one person and was to not be greeted to wait 20 mins to be sat then another 10 mins to get my drink order which was only water and

coffee and another 10 mins for it to arrive and my food to come out wrong was just unacceptable. I will never to back to this one ill gladly uber 20mins to…

The man there I assume was the manager, was rude very unprofessional. We came in was rude about sitting us at first. Then when we finally was seated he handed us 1 paper menu for 4 of us I asked for another one he said you get 1 per table because he has to throw them away. Really???

Then he brought another one slammed it on table and I said to my son let’s just go. He snatched the menus and told us to just get out!! Yes I made a comfortation! I called him a dick and he kept mouthing if it wasn’t fir my son it would have been a fight!

Who gonna spend 75 80 bucks to go eat and be treated rudely. Not me!! He needs dealt with on a serious level!

Waited for a very long time for table. Even longer time for food and it was cold when it came out. Got there at 10:40 and didn’t leave until 1:20. Made me late for an appointment. They could have told me when I checked in that the kitchen was really slow today but they didn’t. Beyond ridiculous.

I will never ever eat there again.

My wife placed an order on ur site for pickup it was almost a $40 bill. It said our food would be ready at 947am, I get there there is food in the pickup area. I tell them my 1st and last name, they even checked that order in the pickup area and was like no that's not it.

I'm waiting waiting finally they check the name on that order and cause my wife had to log onto the app to place the order it showed her name. We live in Schaumburg Illinois but I'm from Wisconsin so my wife and I are the only ones with our last name.

When they realize it's our food, the manager tried giving me the cold food. When I refused to take it she said well we can remake it for u. So again I waited for my food that they screwed up on.

I'm not happy with ur place here in Schaumburg, the manager never offered to…

First if all, we waited for 45 minutes for a 20-30 minute given time.

Second, we waited on our food for 1/12 hours!!!! As I’m typing this we are still waiting! Got here at 1035 and it’s almost 1 pm! Still haven’t eaten. I understand that places are short of help but this is beyond ridiculous!

I will never ever eat here again!

Arrived at your location on SE 14th St in Des Moines at 11:35pm. There was a chain link lock on the door.. Advertised closing time is 12am. What's up with that? False advertising?!?! And how do the remaining customers get out when they're done?

Called and nobody would answer.

To customer issues department: Hello, I am writing to express a concern/complaint about the IHOP located at 7601 S Cicero Ave, Chicago, Illinois 60652. My wife and I, (wife really likes IHOP) were leaving on vacation, flying out of Midway Airport.

After checking into our hotel, she wanted to eat at IHOP. The closest location was 7601 S. Cicero Ave. We drove there, went inside, no-one was at the hostess stand but we were soon seated, our waitress came over and greeted us, took our drink order and an appetizer order of mozzarella sticks.

My wife ordered a well done "Bacon Only" omelette with pancakes, I ordered a "pick your protein" sandwich, Cowboy BBQ with Crispy Chicken, no tomato. We waited an average amount of time for any normal meal considering it had chicken.

Our waitress brought…

My family and I went to the casino in Eagle Pass Tx to celebrate my sisters birthday. We went to IHOP as we eat there every time we go to the casino. My sister entered the restaurant to get us a table and approached the front desk waiter.

We were a group of 8. He told my sister to have a seat. Maybe my sister might of misunderstood. So she took us to the large table for a big party. The front desk person didn’t say anything as we sat on the table.

Then a waitress comes by the name of Karina T and asked us to leave. This is her exact words. Who sat you here. My sister replied by telling her the guy up front said to seat ourselves. She said if a waitress didn’t seat you then you need to to leave.

Those were her exact words. So of course we got up and walked out. My sister asked for the…

Very poor customer service. As soon as I walked to order as the dinning room was closed the person at the register what's your name and I stated I was here to order and didn't phone ahead and she stated so what's your name and shook her head. I asked what's up with her attitude and she snapped I don't have an attitude and just looked at me and didn't take the order so I informed her I would be filing a complaint and I left.

First off I wanna say that my complaint is that this magnificent person that you had in this IHOP hod to do it all by himself from waiting tables to taking the orders to giving the drinks to cooking the food and then bringing it out and refill in our drinks in it promptly very promptly time manner in the meantime take care of five other tables was all by himself and he says it’s been that way for about a week he can’t keep anybody in there and

the complaint is that IHOP doesn’t take time enough to appreciate what they have because that store can be shut down but for him stepping up its running with just ONE PERSON, and he claims to be from corporate!! There’s something wrong with this picture!!

I don’t remember his name but it’s store 1409 in Elkhart, Indiana and he needs to be recognized…

On 5/17/2021 I placed an online order at 11222 Fuqua St. Houston, TX 77089 for curbside. Order # 1799898502 for the chocolate chocolate chip pancakes so when I arrive at IHOP I parked in curbside #1 and called the number for curbside several times and no one answered so I went inside to get my order.

The server gave me my order and I looked at the pancakes and asked him are these the chocolate because they didn’t look like they were and he assured me they were. THEY WERE NOT THE CHOCOLATE, they were buttermilk with chocolate chips!

This is the second time that I ordered online for curbside and never received the service. This location has subpar customer service!

My food was great the service mediocre. But I have to tell you the IHOP in north Canton Ohio on Saturday may 15th was by far the dirtiest restaurant i have ever seen. Completely filthy. The floor had straws napkins papers first silverware and garbage all over it.

Hadnt been swept in a month. And the floor has not been mopped either. I will never ever go to this IHOP. With covid restaurants should be vigilant. This one is so bad I'm suprise roaches did scurry around.

Drove 6 miles excited for IHOP breakfast and was very disappointed at $15 expensive omelette that does not come with toast. Very disappointing , have to pay $3 bucks extra for toast.

IHOP has lost its value.

Also wish you offered something other than pork like a chicken sausage or burger patty or something.

After driving across town to the IHOP listed as OPEN at 10:15, the hostess announced to a lobby full of guests that the restaurant was closed. ” She said she “didn’t have to update anything-it’s been like that since Covid. Bye. 5. 5.

A gentleman standing next to her appeared to be a manager but stood by and did nothing. Very Poor representation for your company and the precise reason we will never return. You lost a lobby full of customers during these tough economic times-Hope you can weather the storm.

I suggest you visit the IHOP on S. Hurstbourne Lane in Louisville KY and dismiss the female hostess.

First I waited at a table for 20 mins no exaggeration for someone to ask if need a drink. Then another 10 mins waiting to give my order. After eating i payed with a $100 bill your manager then brought my change and in face told me she was taking her cut took $10 out my change gave me the rest and

put my money in her pocket while she had a new associate in training with her. This is a crime she literally stole my money in my face this is not right a $5 meal turned into a $20 meal that quick.

She is unprofessional and a crook. I will be doing a follow up to find out what actions are taken to resolve this situation. I am a manager at tbe home depot in the same parking lot and i enjoy eating at your…

Lithia springs Georgia location. The worst dining experience I have ever had understaffed should not even be letting people sit down when you can’t take care of 2 tables in the whole damn restaurant. Our food came out 1 plate at a time after waiting over an hour 10 min between each plate and not complete meals then the meat was raw the pancakes were burnt still never got syrup for my kids.

This is pathetic I work in the service industry and this place should not even be open.

Since I couldn’t talk to them about the refund I would like a refund from corporate or a gift certificate because I go to IHOP all the time and I’m very disappointed on customer service and how long I had to wait in the first place.

Music was entirely too loud. I was in a party of six and we had to raise our voice to be heard. I felt like I was in a disco back in the 1970s coffee with lukewarm first time they brought it out.

And when they brought up the meal the pancakes the butter that was put on them they would not even melt because the pancakes were cold.

The advertisement for the steakhouse bacon, brought me back to IHOP,I admit it has been over 20 years, one reason none really close enough. It all went down hill. No hostess to greet, waited 6 mins before someone came out of the kitchen.

I was seated, waited another 10min before i was given a menu. When i ordered i finally ordered it was simple, your smokehouse bacon scrambled eggs and hash browns. The restaurant was not full, medium sized crowd with limited seating due to Covid.

I was reading a book while waiting. I then looked up and realized it was almost 1:38 The kind waitresses came to offer more coffee when I mentioned the wait time, and she told me the cook made my order wrong in defense of the wait time.

When my food did arrive the eggs were cold and dry. I did enjoy one piece…

Went to the tillmans corner IHop in mobile alabama and the restaurant was basically empty of customers it was 3:10 pm on a Tuesday afternoon and the hostess looked at us several times and never come over to seat us. After 10 minutes of her periodically looking at us but never coming to greet or seat us we left to find another restaurant with hopefully better service.

I eat at that restaurant about 3 times a month and have never had service or the lack of like today. I know my opinion doesnt matter in the big picture but just wanted to express my disappointment.

She stops then from bringing people in to eat, so she can have everyone focus on to to go orders. And while walking to the restroom, she was very loudly taking about how "she didn't give a f*** what the shity customers want.

I'm a nasty f****** person and I'm even worse on holidays if it was up to me I would close this f****** restaurant down anyway I could I hate it here I hate everyone. and then she told one of the very nice servers who is always very sweet to us, that she doesn't give a shitt if they're not making any tips all I'm worrying about is the two…

We went into the ihop on Bagley Rd in Middleburg Hts. OH today 4-25-21 at 8 05 AM we were in the lobby, a while the greater didn't acknowledge us for 5 minutes and there was no one in the lobby waiting, there were plenty of tables open even due to social distancing.

He then told us it would be 15 minutes before he could seat us to give the cooks time to catch up, I asked him if he could at least seat us, he went to check and came back at this time a waitress was putting in a order at the register and she said take their names.

I said can you seat us, he said no. We were looking around at the customers in the dining area while all this was happening, the majority looked disgusted or frustrated. At the the point the greater told us when couldn't be seated I looked at him and said they we…
