IHOP

I don’t post negative reviews lightly—at this point in the world we’re clearly all just trying to make it. But….today the card readers were down and I only had $3 cash. The manager wanted to take down my card info and run it later which I was not comfortable doing for obvious reasons. There was no offer to comp to meal or any other suggestions so I was forced to leave my license as collateral, go to Aldi nearby to get cash back then return to pay my bill. I have never paid a bill without a tip but today…I did. I wasn’t about to take $40 out for their problem. Even when I left two other customers approached me to tell me how wildly absurd it was to ask that of me and told me they should’ve just comped my meal. As a side note, my food was awful which I can tolerate if the service is good because I know it’s not the server’s fault. All this was too much for me. Never returning to this IHOP.

Worst ihop experience ever. My hash browns were undercooked, my pancakes were burnt to a crisp, and they didn’t give us enough syrup for the amount of people we had. We asked for more and no one brought any out. Our server was overworked, and did his best. Whoever was cooking back there though, yikes.

The food I would rate as good. Nothing special, but about what you expect from IHOP. The service was average to below average. I had the crispy chicken bacon sandwich. The chicken was your garden variety frozen and breaded chicken breast. Nothing to write home about. The other person had a waffle and bacon. The waffle was excellent, but the bacon was paper thin. All in all an okay dining experience.
