On March 6 my family and I went to the IHOP in Niagara Falls on Clifton Hill. I have celiacs disease and was able to eat at several other IHOP’s. I told the waitress I was celiac and would it be possible for them to do the pancakes in a separate frying pan.

She went back and checked and said the head chef said it could not be done and I asked was there something else and she said no. I was shocked that they were not willing to accommodate me at all.

It was my birthday and I was so excited as IHOP is the only place I can get GF pancakes. We ended up leaving after paying for our drinks.

m. I'm at IHOP in Marion Indiana manager named Stacy is very rude I am a doordasher I have set here over 45 minutes waiting for my order she told me I had to leave the store and set in my car because I've asked too many times about my to-go order very rude customer service you know people that order online have already paid for their food I know people in the restaurant are important too but

they should really work both orders in instead of asking somebody to leave the store and wait outside in the cold your store is very unclean there's s*** on your walls in your bathroom I reported that to Stacy she said oh well that's not my problem I think I will call the health department and report your store as well because reporting her does nothing about it have a nice day

Today at approximately 9:00 I placed an order short stack and sirloin tips , scrambled eggs , with IHOP. The young lady that took the order did not include sirloin tips. I called back to inform the manager. I was told that I was not charged for the missing item so there is nothing she can do… I could come back and if they have sirloin tips they will make them.

I am at a distance to this location and gas cost. Well people make mistakes she stated and we will have to charge for the sirloin tips, this was not an issue about money. I asked for the manager for her name and she hung up on me.

I called back and they refused to pickup. I hope this is not how IHOP representatives treat their customers. In business I fell the correct reply would be I am sorry that happened, I am willing to offer……

Dear IHOP,

RE: Lunch today at IHOP / Delray Beach, FL. 33445( Atlantic & Military Trail ( 36-168 ) Server was Adeline / POS 1681 ======================= Your server was as poor as they come,. no smile, or greeting... placed the order, had to wait for coffee for several minutes, My food ( Bacon & eggs ) sat on the counter for about ten minutes, she looked at the order several times, and just moved along to something else. This stuff cools off very quickly, no fun eating cold bacon and eggs - restaurant was not busy at all, so that was not the problem.. This wait person was not well trained ,that was very apparent ( I know it's difficult to get good staff these days, but, this was awful, Food came to table and she just kinda dropped it down and off she went, not asking if I wanted anything…

I’m writing to you about my experience at the Uniontown,PA location. , the hostess/waitress was just seating a couple at a table. She said I will be right with you. We waited about 15 minutes in the lobby. The restaurant was not even half full.

During our wait another couple came in and waited for about 10 minutes and left. I looked in the dining room and 2 (not the one that we were greeted by) waitresses walked through the dining room several times. They were always together.

So I’m assuming they were not that busy or they would be doing their individual work. They saw that I was looking to be seated but didn’t bother to seat us. When the first waitress finally came from the back with food for another table said I will be with you in a minute.

She sat us at a booth. From the time we…

I am writing to file a complaint regarding the location of 705 S Rural Rd, Tempe, AZ 85281. This is the second consecutive time that I have visited this location and been completely dissatisfied with the service. When I arrived, I noticed that there were only two other tables being serviced so it was basically empty. Despite this, it took 15 minutes for a waiter to come to my table after being seated. The table and bench smelled of mildew so I moved to a different table on my own but experienced the same at the new table. I told the waiter but it took him 20 minutes to bring out a rag and re-wipe the table and benches down.

It took approximately 50 minutes after taking my order to bring out my food. The glass was dirty as if it was never cleaned. The waiter failed to bring regular syrup…

I visited IHOP on Easton Rd in Warrington PA today, and was utterly SHOCKED at how filthy the restaurant was. I only stayed because my little granddaughter had her heart set on it, and I didn’t realize the full scale of it right away.

When we were given our menus after sitting down, one of them had something spilled and sticky in it, taking up almost half the page, so shouldn’t have been easy to miss. The hand prints and dirt on the windows had clearly been there for quite some time.

looking out the window felt like you were looking through fog, it was that dingy and thick with dirt. One window still had Christmas stickers on it, (it’s March) while the others didn’t. There was pieces of molding missing, scraped up and chipped off paint, and ANTS!

The wait staff was friendly and I have…

My daughter and my 2 yo grandson and my 4 yo granddaughter took me out for breakfast for my birthday. As we waited for a table, the kids saw the pictures hanging on the wall that were colored by other kids.

Needless to say they were very excited. The restaurant was not even half full but we were seated right by the kitchen. no crayons nothing. We waited a long time before someone came to the table. I asked the manager?? where was our server.

Our server had a big gray and blue flannel coat on. Not clean looking. Not a good representative for IHOP. She took the order and disappeared. Food took forever. My daughter and I both ordered the cinnamon pancakes ( packed with cinnamon filling? ).

We had a small drizzle of cinnamon flavored stuff on top. Waited for the server to check back on us.…

My third bad taire experience in a row. Missing items and ingredients that the workers obviously knew about but said nothing when we picked up our order.

Two orders of crepes with no berries and pancakes with no syrup packets. Also took 8 minutes to pickup the order from when we arrived - and we were the only ones waiting in the lobby area.

This disgusting encounter happened to a friend of mine yesterday at the Whittwood IHOP:

Today my family and I went to ihop in the whittwood. What we witnessed was truly truly disgusting.

I had stepped out to take a phone call while my mom and kids were at the table. A homeless man walked in. He was shakey and dripping sweat. He was very clearly having some sort of crisis. It was only 62 degrees outside but he was dripping sweat. He asked for a cup of water. The manager denied him a cup of water and said sorry you’re not a customer. Anyone who knows what the symptoms of hypoglycemia can tell you this man’s blood sugar was dangerously low and he needed to raise it asap. My mom who has experienced low blood sugar episodes with my dad and myself knew he needed juice or something right away.…

My wife and I stopped at the IHOP in Cocoa, FL last Monday to try the Crepes special we had seen on television. When we placed our order, we were told this special wasn't available at this location. Why? We left there and drove to the Titusville restaurant and enjoyed the crepes there.

I don't understand wht one restaurant had them and the other one didn't.

This is regarding the IHOP restaurant in Olney, Maryland. Ever since this restaurant opened it has received poor reviews for its poor food, poor service, poor customer relations, and a drab interior. We live in Olney but normally drive 18 minutes down the road to the Rockville, MD location.

It’s like a completely different restaurant- lively, nicely decorated, friendly staff and good service, but on this Sunday evening, March 5, 2023, we decided to stay local. What a mistake! I placed an online order for a breakfast with 2 pancakes, 2 eggs, 2 bacon and sausage, and a piece of big French toast.

Besides the order not being ready at the time it was supposed to be, the pancakes were like half the size of the typical IHOP pancakes we’re used to and they were overcooked. The eggs were…

How can a restaurant that has signage touting 24 hr service, refuse to seat customers on a Saturday night at 9:30pm because they are closing?

Decided to give them another chance today by ordering lunch at work to be delivered. When the food was delivered, much of the food was cold and side dishes were missing.

If I spend $90 on a restaurant, the VERY LEAST they should do is make sure the order is right. The Kyle, TX IHOP has been problematic for the last 3 yrs, which is why we stopped going. Since it has been 1 1/2 yrs. I hoped it had improved. You should seriously consider closing down this location.

I went to the IHOP at gulfgate Mall in Houston Texas. Today Sunday March 5th 2023. I walked into IHOP with my two daughters and one son and to go sit at a table it already had one table full of people.

I proceed to go to a table in that section and was seated with menus. Another server came to me and said that the area was closed, even though we had been seated with menus. We left and went to another section and watched other people hope fun at my son while he was eating.

My child is autistic with adhd. Somewhere off out the way because he eats messy and talks loud. The experience was kind of embarrassing to me as a parent because I know how my son is and I wanted to shield him a little bit from being picked at while we were trying to enjoy our meal.

This was especially hurtful because…

We have been experiencing poorly service. They were shortage of staffing. Lacks of management and they holds the customers before they seats the customers almost 50 minutes. This is worse experiencing for us. We are planning to discontinue coming back to the Ihop. You need something about it.

We ordered two of the newly advertised crepes. Waited about 20-25 minutes for our order. Only about two or three other tables had customers. The food was cold. My wife's crepe looked like it was missing half the food. Mine was burned but still cold, I wasn’t sure which part was eggs and which was some other unrecognizable substance.

I couldn’t eat hardly any of it. We then asked for the check-the table top ad for these crepes says order one get a second free, so we were shocked when we got a bill for $32! It wasn’t worth $2…we asked to speak with the manager, told her our complaints and she said not one word to us. Really awful experience!!

, (IHOP store 1452), we had the worse experience that we ever had. Our first impression was the hostess, (later on we found out that he was the manager), no a welcome greeting nor a smile but a look lost in space or something worse.

After waiting in line for 15 minutes or so, we got our table, the server (97/Carmen) took our order. After a reasonable time the order came, but came incomplete, I started to let the server know about I was missing the cheese, and a glass of milk, but she interrupted me by saying that I didn't order the cheese, immediately after that, she offered to fix my plate, I declined because my wife food would be cold by then. , .

You need to do something about these issues because your employees potentially have the power to stop people coming to your business. Thank…

Order#2073 Oxon Hill - 3/1. I attempted to place an order over the phone before I arrived. Called 3 times with no response. I arrived to place my order at 9:24. I did not receive my order til an hour later.

I saw 2 couples get seated, eat and leave before I received my order. NOT ACCEPTABLE!! I ordered cobb salad, I may as well have ordered a plain salad. Not to mention the chicken tenders I thought I ordered looked like chicken strips or fish sticks fit for a child!!

Clearly some changes need to be made!! IHOP is not the same!!

We were very excited to have the opportunity to go to prattville Al ihop. We walked in and the smell hit us at the door. The hostess/waitress said RUDELY we will be with you when we can. Then proceeded to give us dirty looks because we were still there.

After 20 minutes and several people came in behind us we decided to leave. The vents are filthy the paint is peeling and the all around appearance was unpleasing. We will NEVER go back there again.

We attended the IHOP on fairview rd in simpsonville sc. While there we asked to switch hashbrowns for grits on our order and where told they wouldn't do it because the manager said they were not going to make any grits.

Then we asked to speak to the manager and he refused to come to our table to see about our concerns. Then about 10 minutes later the manager walked out into the dining room and still would not come to see about our concerns.

My daughter walked over to him and voiced our issue about the grits and he still refused to fix them for us. Then our food came out 1 or 2 plates at a time and had several members of our party waiting to eat.

Our party was a group of 8. We then complained that our hashbrowns were too hard to eat and were give 10% off our meal but we didn't get our…

Arrived at IHOP #3620 in King George, VA. at 10:15 and were seated at 10:30. After being seated. it took 40 minutes for a server to come over and take our order. After waiting about an hour I had to go and find a server to ask about when our drinks were going to be served.

Fifteen minutes later our drinks arrived. We waited another 30 minutes for our food to arrive and my order was cold. NO ONE came to our table to check on us while we waited or during our meal. After finishing our meal, no one came over to give us the check.

I had to walk to the hostess at the cash register to get the check and pay. This has been by far the WORSE SERVICE THAT I HAVE EVER HAD in my 69 years of being on this earth.

A customer and 2 daughters sat for over an hour, the server never put the order in. The manager Stan came over to apologize, had the server bring over the receipt giving a 10% discount and expecting the guest to pay for food they never received.

He needs to be fired. He’s full of excuses instead of making the situation right. I’m glad I’m only visiting from out of town because I’ll never come back here.

My husband and I went to the IHop in Reynoldsburg, Ohio 2413 Taylor Square Drive, The floors were filthy! Syrup had been spilled all over the floor in front of the booths by the windows and looked to had been there for several days.

There was food crumbs under the tables in the center isle and a waitress was mopping the floor, before sweeping around and under the tables. Tables were dirty. I ordered Blueberry Pancakes with DOUBLE Blueberry Compose and got REGULAR pancakes with COLD Blueberries on top.

I asked the waitress about it and she said "that is what the kitchen gave her". Glass in the doors was nasty dirty. The parking lot was filthy as well. Cigarette butts in the crack along the restaurant wall (outside) as well as along the sidewalk at the blacktop.

This place has really gone…

One waitress, one chef and when the food arrived it was cold. The party of three were not served at the same time. The third meal arrived after the other two had finished. A substitute was presented without consulting the customer. The first two people waited 40 minutes for their meal and the third person a further 15 minutes.

I have eaten at IHOP all over the USA but have never has such an awful experience in any one of the franchises or in fact in any other restaurant.

More than disappointing it was embarrassing as I invited two friends and recommend IHIOP…….. could not possibly return there.

Went to wyomissing ihop to have some breakfast with my fiancé the district manager, Hassan stating don’t you owe me money my response was no I don’t owe you anything.

However, I used to be the general manager here and I experience very hostile work environment treated very unfairly as I ran both restaurants for him an as I fix all issue and even gain customers back who had stop because of the roach/unclean problem. The fact that he approach my table in front of other customer was a poor bad representation of how this district manager is unfit to lead this is exactly why I left.

He need to be replace or both stores will continue to do bad as it is already doing. Wyomissing ihop

Visited calgary deerfoot location Sunday Feb 19, 2023.. Party of 5 ( 3 adults 2 children) - 30 minutes from the time we were seated before she came for our drink order ( I had to flag her down to get that) - 20 minutes before she brought out our drinks, which she mixed up and forgot one.

she raised her voice at me -30 minutes to bring out our food order, which was cold, bacon was undercooked - dirty plates where left on the table for 15 minutes When I approached the manager she allowed this waitress to scream at me at the entrance and call me a liar.

but I was looking for an apology.

Overall we will not be returning to that location ever again... the service and food and management is sorely lacking of basic customer service skills.
