We waited over 30 minutes after being seated for a server to ask us for a drink order. Then another 20 minutes before a server took our meal order. The staff was rude. While we sat and waited we watched as three of the servers stood at the server's station talking and viewing social media on their phones.

We asked for the manager to come to our table. When the manager arrived we we explained the situation and the manager responded by shrugging her shoulders and saying "sorry" then walking off. " We asked for the District Manager's number.

We were confronted by one server and told we could just leave because we have no right complaining about the service we received. She was very hostile and began yelling at us. The manager returned and gave me the DM's number at which time we left, still…

Manager had no control over her staff. Waitresses were too busy on their phones to take our order. When we confronted the manager she said "sorry" and walked away. The waitresses complained loudly about us confronting the manager and even yelling at us in the dinning area.

" The absolute worst experience I have ever had at IHOP. Will tell everyone to avoid IHOP in the future.

Also the silverware on our table was dirty and had food dried on it.

On Sunday, October 20, 2019, my husband and I went to IHOP in Medford, Oregon for dinner. I had received a gift card for my birthday and we were excited about using it. We were immediately seated in an out of the way small table right behind the hostess booth.

There were plenty of open tables available, but as we were only 2 people they seated us at a small table for two. This would have been okay except that we were hidden from the waitress. After 45 minutes she finally came by and offered us something to drink.

She brought our Iced teas right away. After another 45 minutes, she came back to take our order. It then took 30 minutes for the order to be delivered. I ordered the Senior Roast Turkey dinner. Now, the menu showed a couple of slices of roast turkey over stuffing with two sides…

A man "renardo Lewis was arrested and abused by police at 179 cobb parkway north , GA for no reason due to the unprofessionalism of your management. The video is on Facebook and it shows management screaming at" labreeze Franklin Lewis", police did nothing but became overly aggressive towards "renardo Lewis".

This couple should not been treated like this, the man is in jail as he should not be, nor should have been beaten by cops due to extreme horrible attitude of your staff. He is facing serious charges that is not his fault, the police are at fault as well.

This situation was poorly handled by your staff and police officers. Your staff refuse to give out corporate info and lied about his name. This man is a extremely bad situation that started with your staff and ended horribly by…

The Ihop we went to today is new in Overland Park Kansas on 151st Street. It was obvious they were short staffed which we understood, tables needed bused and the place was dirty but the worst part of our whole visit was the manager Rachael, she was very rude but the most disturbing factor was she had written in marker on her arm...I LOVE COCK and a penis drawn all down her arm. We will never go back there for the obvious reasons.

My family and I used to go to IHOP wont be doing that anymore ever. We don't appreciate when the server charges us extra more than our bill is, we left cash tips and they still charged us with extra tip on our card.

There was 3 different bills and they were all charged extra. When I called to let a manager Rebeka know gave me the excuse about the new system having problems, and that our waitress Christin #126 was actually a trainer, ok that makes things even worst.

she never called back than I called back the other manger Gerardo on post said she left early and she didn't mention the insident, but he wouldnt help me unless We would all go in there with our recipt. I went in there personally the next day, the waitress that over charged us was there, she even said that the manager was not…

I ordered a triple decker BLT as I wasn’t very hungry. It came with a touch of mayo I could hardly taste and very little Lettuce and NO tomato. I asked about it and the server took my plate and returned it wit a wedge of tomato.

The server and manager were very young and nice I did eat part of the sandwich but it was the worst BLT I ever had. It looked like it was put together by a 5 year old. The manager took 20% off because I did eat some.

I have never complained about a restaurant but feel I have to today.

10/20/19 My wife and I took a cab to go dine in at the ihop location on 5645 Broadway in the Bronx 232 street & Broadway Avenue. The 3 REASONS WHY I WILL NEVER! EVER INVEST or EAT here again 1- We sit down and ordered our food I thought we waited long!

To begin with When I see a family of 4 sit down across my wife and I to soon witness they where getting THIER food before us! 2- when the waiter brings us my water and my wife’s sweet tea he never cam back to check if we bout our food.

3- after I noticed our food is taking this long I tali’s the management (David is this how it works u sit down to wait for your food and no one checks to see if we got the food yet and do they USUALLY SEVRVE OTHER PEOPLE THAT gets here AFTER U!

So the food gets to the table and the fruit thst I ordered was…

She said all call you. I said thank you. She was very upset and not very polite. I'm writing because her level of instruction and her anger disturbed me. I got very scared because it seemed she was asking for a fight and yet another county jail bus.

With all the unemployment and felons and jealous demand set upon people, I do not know how to understand this feeling she gave forth to myself. I…

Drive. We told them we had 2 but might have a third joining us. They refused to seat us until the third guest arrived. I stated again she may not arrive and the Manager reluctantly seated us to a table for 2.

I asked if we could have one of the booths that were open and she didn’t say anything except picked up the menus from the small table and lead us to a booth. Her customer service skills were zero. The waitress that took care of us was extremely pleasant and apologetic.

I’m in the hospitality industry and you do not ever treat your guests this way. I won’t be returning to that location. We arrived at about 10;30 in the morning. They were steady but not overwhelmed for her attitude towards us.

Hello, So I usually have a pleasant experience when I go to Ihop. However, on 10/18/2019 I went to ihop and order the buttermilk and eggs. I have a few pictures I will include. I went around 1:23pm to the ihop 301 Main Street Paterson, N.J. 07505 Store# 5616

The food literally taste like it was old, was sitting out, and just got reheated up. Because it tasted dry and old. The gravy that they put on my sausage and biscuits were completely dry and only about a quarter size dry and googy portion of gravy was placed on my biscuits. You can clearly see that this gravy was old and sat out.

I would like a full refund or at least credit to honor the price of this meal. I preferred to compalin online because I just thought it was completely careless and nasty of the staff there to provide such…

I brought my family here for the adams family menu twice. The first night was great service the second time brought my husband and daughter, and it was HORRIBLE.. the waitress was snooty. Just looked at us.. I had to use the bathroom so my husband and daughter waited i came back out of the restroom to learn they seated themselves..

it was 15 minutes until I got up and grab ourselves menus the hostess/waitress looked at me at least a dozen times before that. We waited another 15 minutes still nothing.. that same waitress asked if anyone got us drinks.. nope..

she also took our order.. we waited 40 mins for our food while others who ordered after us got there’s first. The food is good but the service sucked at IHOP #3407 today.. Waitress Olivia need to learn some better customer service…

Stopped at Harrisburg,pa union deposit location. At approximately 7:30 pm. A older gentleman was waiting to pay for his meal. No one was available. So we sat ourselves since it wasn’t that busy. My wife has to get our menus.

Waited another 20-25 min for a waitress to check on us. Then ordered right away. I’ve never had to waited in a IHOP this long to get our food. All but 45 min at least. Very rude staff an unprofessional.

Had my food basically slammed in front of us. Charged for my kid who is 12. Wasn’t even asked. supposedly kids 12 an under are free. Paid for just to get out of there. Hopefully this reaches someone who can correct these issues.

I’ve never had a bad IHOP experience like this before. An always had great waiters an service. Our server was Olivia A (185)

I went out for brunch with my friends after a hard morning of school. We all wanted to sit, eat and the best of all be comfortable. Unfortunately they sat all 5 of us at a small booth when there were clean open bigger booths but the following waitresses decided to give them to a couple.

Where is the common sense to sit a big group at a big table and a small group at a small table. This was highly unacceptable and I don’t appreciate it.

Third time at the Watertown store first time the order was all messed up. The second time better however but we waited for a half hour before being served, very few people in the store. The last visit today we waited to be seated that took 15 minutes before someone came and said we would have to wait 15 minutes longer because the tables weren’t cleaned.

As I looked in there wereAt least 20 tables available. The store will never make it! Too bad because we really love IHOP

Don't ever go between 11:15-1:00! You will wait in line for a good 15-30 minutes depending on how far back by the door you are in the line at! The manager was short on staff or didn't care, because there was only one register being used.

When I finally arrived at the counter to place my order they ignored me. " Then she prepped the hot food in the window and ran it out to the floor as I waited. Then a guy came over and didn't even greet me!

Just asked for my order! I then asked why the other register was not being used to take orders, since it was a Sunday and it would make sense to use it because it was so busy! He said they never use it! Can you believe that?!

So, I started waiting in line at 11:20am, my order was taken at 11:37am and my food came…

My husband and I were at your Darthmoth Massachusetts location this morning for breakfast and we are both on the " Keto Diet". when we ask if we could substitute the hash browns and pancakes that were included with our meal ( omelettes) we were told we couldn't.

As a result we through away more of the meal than we actually are. Unless your menu changes to allow people eat according to their diets I don't think we will be returning to IHOP any time soon.....

IHOP store # 3207 in Providence, RI. I had the worst customer experience in any IHOPs store I ever been on Saturday October 12th.

First, nobody picked up phone for an hour. I gave up putting carry out order in and drove to the place. It took 1Omin to get acknowledged and I explained that I want to put a carry out order in ( sick son at home) and have been trying to call for an hour. No Host.

Waiter told me he will be back to take my order, line of customers piled up waited to be seated, waiter ignored his promise to me and tried to seat customers first sitting behind me. Then I complained that I am a customer too and I was here first and tried to call for an hour.

Me and my boyfriend and some friends wanted to come to IHOP for some breakfast and the service was horrible . When we were seated no one came to take our order until 10mins after we didn’t get any utensil .

The employees were acting confused about what table to serve and who to not serve. We watched a group get seated AFTER we ordered and they got they food first and was greated more often then we were! Our waiter did not check on us before food came and didn’t give us a update on how long the food will be until it’s here.

I ordered an apple juice and iT was not filled up to the top they filled it up half way like I’m a kid. Very upset with how service is today

We ordered and my husband ordered chicken noodle soup. he then order iceberg lettuce and she gave him romaine . At that point all 6 of us got up and left and went to another resturant. I know this sounds unbelievable but it did happen.

I was waiting at the ihop on East-west connector with two other black guests waiting to be seated. When a white waiter by the name of Jessica walked up. There was a white family that came through the door and she proceeded to seat them.

She bypassed all of the black guests and sat the white family. When we asked her why she bypassed us she stayed that she didn’t see us sitting there waiting. I was appalled by her blatant racist attitude. Then she had an attitude with us for questioning her motives.

She had walked past the door three times and seen us sitting there so she knew we were waiting to be seated. I have never been treated with such disrespect and racism at an ihop. There needs to be sensitivity training at this restaurant.

Because black people should not be experiencing racism…

A breakfast restaurant out of coffee???? They had to send someone to the store to get more. Service is always horrible and wait for food is ridiculous. We've tried here numerous times. Always the same result. NEVER coming back.

I went to IHOP Friday Oct 4 especially for the pumpkin pancakes which I look forward to every year. I was very disappointed this year because the pancakes were thin, rubbery, & didn’t taste like pumpkin at all. I’m not sure if this was just this IHOP or all IHOP’s but it seems like a big mistake to change the pumpkin pancake recipe.

IHOP was one of my favorite places but will be hesitant to return. If they change one recipe they may change others. I’m sure I’m not the only one that noticed the change.

We had great service. This is about the Food. That new purple "sludge" that was atop my hot chocolate was the vilest, most disgusting thing I have ever tasted. It did not resemble food and I could not eat it.

A nice dollop of whipped cream would have been fine. This concoction was like some kind of frosting from a can mixed with who-knows-what to create an inedible tasteless totally unhealthy mess. You have got to do something about this.

Kids will be expected to eat this and they will not be able to. It really is awful. Go back to whipped cream, throw a few purple sprinkles on if you must and call it good.

The night manager was very rude, sadly I did not get her name. I didn't like two of their soups and sent them back. They tasted very acidic. The manager did not come over and try help out the situation. The two soups were taken off the bill, but when I got the bill for just the soda it was a little over $3 after I sent back the soups. I asked her if I had to pay for the soda and she said, "Well you're drinking it aren't you? We don't give out things for free..." in reality, yes, that's true, but it was the way she said it and how she handled it that makes all the difference. I work in retail and used to work in food and customer service is #1 always. She was a bitch and I'll never return to that Ihop again.

We are at the Ihop at Polaris Parkway in Westerville OH and the service has been extremely slow and the server is becoming more rude as time passes.

We arrived at 7 PM and received the wrong meals at 7:50.

Our order was two egg white omelets with turkey sausage with pancakes and a salad. We were approached by our server about 20 minutes after our order and told they did not have turkey sausage. We settled on turkey bacon. 30 minutes later we received part of our meal but it was wrong...the server commented that we were incorrect and checked her order slip after which she acknowledged we were correct. We also received the salad with “rotten” looking lettuce.

We were told that the delay was due to our order of turkey bacon but this was going in as a red ticket item and we’d be given new…
