My husband and I went to the I Hop on155 Dorset Street South Burlington VT on 12/26/2022, we had to wait to be seated for 40 min but that was ok as I knew it would be busy.... well we were seated right in front of the kitchen door..

Ugg the place was so unclean food all over the floor... our waitress took our order and we could visibly see what was going on in the kitchen and I could not believe my eyes... two teenagers in their PJs were running around the kitchen and then I saw one holding a small baby!!!

I was like what is a baby doing in the kitchen... only three workers were dressed in red or black tops all others wore beat-up clothes and did nothing while I was there but fool around... they had to turn customers away by telling people that it was going to be over an hour to just get…

We were waiting 15 minutes to be acknowledged. When I finally decided to go to the kitchen looking for someone waitress was very rude, screamed at me and decided to talk to other customers instead of me, that was the first one I.

Line waiting to be seated. She proceeded to say that we weren’t on the list of course nobody had acknowledged us to get our names on the list. Never again I will never coming to this restaurant she did the same thing last Friday when we were here, totally ignored us.

) around with my family 3:30 1/3 and had asked the woman at the counter who was serving (I'm a regular and I like it when Wilma karen or Bernadette serves me) and I guess she could see my disappointment.

However upon seeing my disappointment she told me if I was going to have an "attitude" me and my family could leave without a second glance. Her name was Cheryl and I am just in awe at how nasty this woman was to her clientele.

I took my family and left without service because of absolutely nasty this woman was about the whole encounter. Extremely disappointed in this IHOP and the people it chooses for it's staff.

It's been nasty in there for years now. It's the joke of our town. Most of the people who eat in there are from out of town. Or they are nasty themselves. The carpet is nasty. The service - what service!

Many times in our city's restaurant critique fb page people have said they've gone in and stood to be seated and no one showed up to meet them. I'm surprised they aren't out of business yet. I've personally gone in and stood to be seated and no one came to seat us.

We left and went to Cracker Barrel instead. They never disappoint. Do better I HOP! New management needed and a whole new remake/remodel and clean it up!

My daughter worked at the IHOP on 2015 S Pueblo Blvd. CO 81005 - DBA IHOP 1826 - Parker 1833 LLC - Amber Manager and Hector I believe district manager not quite sure as there is really no management at this location - Just incredibly awful how staff is treated and threatened.

I was told by my manager Amber that we ALL had to work Christmas Day. I show up Friday for my scheduled shift and I am told I am not working. I was informed by another co-worker that Amber had said I had a smart mouth so she removed me from the schedule. I feel she retaliated against me because a few days prior I was accused of something and I asked for proof. She stated she saw on camera another co-worker and I not doing anything one day during our shift - so I stated politely that I'd like to see footage of what…

The crew lead is unfit for the position. She lacks professionalism and courtesy. This morning's breakfast experience there was a nightmare and not to mention it was for my father's birthday. We waited 2 hours for our food to come out raw and along with that when I voiced to the crew lead the 10% discount off the order was not good enough I was told you knew we had a wait and

if you didn't like it then we don't have to go there. We were not informed before placing the order that it would take that long for the food to come out nor did we agree to eat raw pancakes and burgers.

The waitress was embarrassed by her crew lead's behavior and couldn't stop apologizing I just want to acknowledge the waitstaff for working under some and still trying to excel when it's apparent that the crew lead…

Yes I went to the IHOP located on N. Monroe St in Tallahassee Florida and had the worst experience of service in any restaurant I have ever been in. I ordered the T-bone steak with 3 eggs and 3 buttermilk pancakes with a side of hash browns, ok.

I asked for steak sauce and hot sauce at this time, ok. She brought me the steak, 3 eggs and hash browns, ok. I had to wait a long time for this to arrive at my table, ok. Then I asked about my 3 buttermilk pancakes and she told me that I substituted that for my hash browns and I had to show her the selection on the menu what came with my order and the side of hash browns was a side order,( an extra) .

She finally brought that to the table then I had to request syrup and wait for all of this so in the meantime my pancakes are getting cold. I will…

Seated at 1200 and ordered at 1208. Didn’t get our food til 1245 and all of it wasn’t done. I ordered chicken strips and they substituted them for one small chicken patty and it was over cooked ( over fried).

And the Mac n cheese ordered wasn’t done. My wife’s food was ok. I was so frustrated from waiting so long and the food was burned. I just had her take it back and remove my meal from the bill. I won’t be back!!!

I went to the IHOP, located in Brick, NJ store #2017. , the number I see on the receipt next to her name is 29296. " Because I didn't remember thr name. I know it's scrambled eggs with cheese and avocado on top with white toast on the side because I didn't see it on the menu.

I was trying to see if she knew what I was talking about. " I just looked at her like, what? " I was silent for a couple of seconds, as which she proceeded to ask me if I need more time, the whole time she's was been rude.

When she came back, I just told her, that I wanted to make my own dish. I wanted scrambled eggs with white cheese because when I asked, if they still had swiss cheese she said no. She leaves, 5 minutes later, she comes back, leans sideways and dumps the utensils on the table in front of me, again…

I worked at IHOP on bell rd, and grand in surprise Arizona, I was let go because of a brain fart I had and over a new night managers mess up. 00 when I already had all my cash tips on me.

I returned the money that se gave me to a different manager and told them what happened. Yes I had a brain fart where I accidentally put my cash tips as a credit card tip, and plus I was the only server who worked that night until grave yard shift servers came in.

Plus it's not fair that I haven't received my last paycheck from them and it's not right to not give someone their last paycheck .

The quality of service was terrible and the staff as a whole was extremely rude with the exception of one server Milton an African American guy. Everyone just stood around while myself and several other customers sat for hours waiting on food refills ect.

Very poor labor management and a very bad look on the company I have always loved and respected. This Tuscaloosa Alabama location needs to be destroyed by fire

I would like to report a manager of IHOP#4470 in Alexandria La. Her name is Theresa. This morning my sister and I went to your store for breakfast and it wound up almost lunch. We were told that we would have a 10 minute wait to be seated which was fine.

We waited 15-20 minutes with with several 3-5 people parties seated , some of whom had come in after us. My sister stepped up and asked why we were being overlooked. Was told by Theresa that SOMEBODY made a mistake.

She then said “Oh well I’ll seat you now. Our waiter came promptly (Delmarco) and took our order. We waited 45-60 minutes after we asked Delmarco to see the manager to question why everyone was being served their food that had come in after us.

When she finally came over we received multiple excuses as to why we weren’t…

I have been to this IHOP for years and I have to say the decline in service has fallen to a new low . The condition of the building made us question how clean the place was . The staff seems nice but very stressed I went the day before Christmas around 10am the front door is damaged and second door is almost falling off lots of lights out / bathrooms were truck stop standards no soap or toilet paper Dirty ! nasty !

Food portions were 6th grade cafeteria and cold . The lady was polite and felt bad but this is not in her control. Leaving the property snow removal was substandard no salt . I just want to know how is this ok with corporate standards This is the Elgin Randal location

I asked for refund immediately (note: My IHOP credit card reimbursement form specified "customer did not want order", this is UNTRUE if it leaves out the circumstances. I would have preferred "poor service" if that were the case.

i would like to enter a formal complaint regarding service I received on 12/26/2022 at the IHOP located in Cedar Hill Tx on FM 1382. After entering the restaurant, me and my friend stood in line with other customers for about 30 minutes waiting in line to be seated.

" and also "There is an hour or more wait" at the top of her lungs, actually shouting in front of the customers which I thought was very rude and unprofessional. Her actions made me and several customers in line leave the restaurant without being served.

As i indicated, the young lady was very rude and unprofessional. we have frequented this restaurant before , so this is not the first time this has happened with this particular greeter. We also noticed that she wasn't even wearing clothing indicating she was an IHOP…

99 remaining on a gift card to be redeemed for cash). The MANAGER got involved and refused to obey State Law even after I showed him the information about the law on the internet. I wished to leave a tip from that money and the waitress had already told me I could not give her the card as a tip.

IHOP restaurant on Capital Blvd Raleigh. On line orders should never come before customers in your restaurant. You should hire enough staff so the waitresses can make their tíos. Dining room should never be shut down because cook cannot keep up!!! Shame.

All staff were great except the guy with dreds walking around with a can drink in his hand seating people. Two guest walked out because he was so rude.

My mother and i went to ihop for breakfast. Everyone was so kind. My mother wanted to add a waffle to her senior combo. We were told it would be 4 dollars. When we got the receipt it was 11 dollars.

We asked tge waitress why and she said because we asked for a side not a substitute. But she knew what we wanted because we specifically told her. She then became rude and said well you need to pay. So we did.

Im so upset and disappointed by this.

Ihop in Denton Tx on 35 The entire establishment was a crap show. Waited a long time for our food. Came in multiple rounds. There were 9 of us. Within the first bite one had to go to the restaurant and get sick due to the greasyness of her food.

A couple of us had scramble eggs that tasted like gym socks and were very greasy. The manager was just as clueless as the other severs. Tables around us were frustrated as well. Before leaving the parking lot 2 others got sick.

If this continues the rest of the day and a hospital trip is needed then ill call the number. But this location is in need of some help

Avoid going to the IHop at the Ridge rd location in wichita kansas. Horrible waitress lady was not only rude to customers but was cussing at the staff and yelling like a crazy Karen, than went off on the older gentleman and he has been nothing but wonderful everytime we have come in. The new management at this location sucks and because of crazy Karen staff member we won't be returning ever again.

Were here since 9:15 this morning with 14 people. Only one other customer here. After we were seated about five separate couples came in. Four groups has been served and left. Its a hour and half later were being served.

We taught there were one waiter no two more came from back and helped the other groups. 42 and we have only 6 people served. This is so wrong on so many levels. Im beyond upset. The manager never once came out and said how sorry they are.

I don’t complain at all but thus is so wrong. The said part is nothing will be done.

Needless to say it was dried out and warm, not hot! Plus missing food, which I again watch sit down under the heat lamp, which I had to ask for when the waitstaff (one doing nothing whom was the one who took our order initially) brought my bill!!

Had issue with my bill, the waitress (one who was actually working) was frustrated and went to fix the bill, had a lot of shit talk about me (all of which I heard) to the cook who came out of kitchen to help cause at this point there are 5 unaddressed tables and people waiting at…

Great concerns related to your store at 8112 Gov Ritchie Hwy 21122

Cooks intoxicated while during shifts, employees smoking crack in the bathroom during shifts. Management and staff help themselves to revenue. illegal transactions taking place inside and outside store locations by staff.

This has been witnessed as well as reported by various past employees. It will be a shame if the community finds out what they and their families have been exposed to before IHop has a chance to make the location respectable and clean out the undesirable elements poisoning the experience of family dining.

) Took an elderly man out for breakfast to celebrate Christmas. I ordered french toast and a side of bacon. He ordered an omlette with home fries. After waiting for a considerable time, french toast and home fries were delivered.

The omlette came 15 minutes after the home fries and french toast. By then, I was finished with my meal, waiting on him to eat. The omlette was cold. When the omlette came, I expressed to our waitress that the delay with his meal was unacceptable.

She gave me a look, rolled her eyes and walked away. Then the manager came to our booth, apologized for the delay of our food and said she'd make an adjustment to the tab. She also stated the restaurant had opened a month ago and the "kinks" were being worked on. 54 cents each.

We ordered 2 breakfast plates.

First we waited about 30 minutes for our food the the gravy was ice cold. The waitress warmed it in microwave came back to the table the food was mushy, salty , cold. We had a buy 1 get one free coupon from a coupon book .

Well they gave us no charge on one meal but not the other n didn’t get to use coupon and paid for it. I want a full refund on my order. Never will I ever go back to this nasty place again.

Sure was the WORST RESTAURANT EVER TO EAT!!! Everything sucked. Service sucked food was cold etc…… I give this place a zero star none.

My name is Ollie Merget and I worked at one of your Ihop locations. This location is at 331 Diederich Blvd. Ashland, Kentucky 41101. The store manager is Shannon Stewart. I have information about this establishment I feel the need for you to be known about and done about.

I worked here for as a server and it has been the worst place i’ve ever worked. This restaurant is crawling with roaches and mice. The staff eats off the customers plates and still serve it to them. I will also be reaching out to Food Safety Services about this.

I have watched staff do drugs on the clock in the workplace. thus including alcohol, pills, and weed. I would work 10-11 hour days with no breaks allowed. The staff are always arguing and I have almost seen physical fights happen multiple times.

I was late for work. I left without the order and waited for the store manager to give me a call and reimburse my card. This is the third time I had issues with customer service or food/beverages left off the order.

I will not be ordering from or going to any IHOP restaurants again.

Bad experience. Today, it took a LONG time to get seated. French toast was cold, butter on top wouldn't melt. Took forever to get our food, no wonder it was cold! Our waitress was nowhere to be seen, another one took it back.

Now the butter on top was melted but the rest of it was cold. Told the waitress of our concerns and she was rude. Seems like prices are up, portions are smaller, service is crappy! More reason to go to McDonald's!
