Erica and Crystal from parkway attacked verbally after I just asked a question regarding the seating arrangement at the store. The manager on duty was incompetent and allowed his team to disrespect their customers. I have not been disrespected like this at any store and what hurts is that I am a usual at the store. I won't be returning to this store again after that attack. Thank you a sad customer, Dana C

IHOP food was served cold after a very long wait time / pancakes were not completely cooked

This occurred on Jan. 13, 2019, the server failed to bring my complete order. When she finally did, the pancakes were not cooked all the way. When I complained to the expeditor, she just walked away. I paid the total bill requested to see the manager. After waiting 15 or more minutes I decided to leave with no resolution extended to me.

Store #366 Server: 130/Dishea B Time: 11;13AM Check # 7070

It was a very disappointing experience, Since I do live in the neighborhood I was so looking forward to that IHOP being my regular go to
breakfast restaurant.

I was fired for supposedly threatening a coworker, which never happened! Supposedly there are witnesses but they won't tell me who they are! I am a single mother with three children and with no investigation or even questioning me they fire me! An employee whose been with this location since they opened, an employee who has always received excellent employee reviews, an employee who was promoted to a lead server, an employee who has had numerous positive comments left on the survey site, an employee that my fellow employees came together and raised money for at Christmas time to help me because I was out of work from having surgery. How in the world is this justified?

IHOP employers

The ihop on University Parkway in winston salem are very rude and disrespectful to some of the employees. While other servers are fussing an cussing they only fuss and bicker with certain individual about their job performance and not focus on anyone else. The GM told me she had to keep an eye on me for whatever reason when I have no history of violence and also tried to diagnose me with a mental health disease that I do not have. I have spoken to a lawyer about the discrimination and will be taking action!

IHOP very bad manager

This manager chelby of liberal Kansas Ihop isn't Doing his job the right way and is coming to work drunk and leaving work to go next door to Applebee's to drink then coming back drunk. Chelby the manager also is very rude and mean to customers and the employees. He will stand there with a customer complaint and laugh right In there face and yell at them. He would treat all his works like they are nothing. He expect his works to do everything for him even when they have other jobs or things going on in there life. He would scream in ur face telling u how u mess up and never show u what u messed up on. He would also go around picking favorite and letting them do what every they want. He would scream at u and not give u the days off u need. He would say that we can't havw any days off that we need because he don't care what we having going on it our life's that we put this job first. He didn't care if u has a family emergency and need to get somewhere he would fire u for needing days off. U never get a day off. To me this isn't how u run a restraute. He would have tables walk on because he would go out there and yell at them for wanting special orders or something different add in there order. He isn't doing his job right showing up to work drunk. Opening the store late when we're supposed to be there at 5 and he would show up with the keys till about 6 then yell at u for it which his the only one with a key.

IHOP staff member at ihop and experience

Im going to send you my facebook post which makes tonights visit quite comical when in fact it wasnt. But i dont like negativity on my page nor the others it will go on. This post is nothing compared to all that occured tonight. Christmas... No one wants to be at work but your customers dont want to be exposed to this either. I hope you take the time to read this. Look into it and address it. As funny as my post is it surely will be shared but everyone who knows me knows the seriousness behind it. Your one waitress tonight violated some health codes like long hair down playing with it, long fake nails that were dirty. We saw that when she couldnt hold a rag to wipe a table down and her hand was turned over. She couldnt atay put of her wallet or purse ( one with sequence all over it) putting money in it... Many times. From 9:15 pm - 10-20 ish we laughed so hard. Not because it was a great time to male memories but because we just cant figure out why this place cant keep it together.

Here is my first post...

So... Mark had to yet again work Christmas and decided ihop is where we would run to unwind before coming home. So he Daniel and I went.
Our waitress is one weve had on many occasions and shes great. Now we all know no one really wants to be at work on Christmas but she was just a happy little elf. But, as we all know on the other end was the abnominal snowchic... Another waitress who was not only rude but for sure not health department cleared for waitress nor serving, with the attitude straight from well... Anyhow, we placed our orders and told them there was no rush. The poor cook was doing all he could and seemed to be doing great. One shoulder was the sweet waitress aka his angel and on the other was HER. Anyhow, i wont go into details on how the cook put food up for serving and she took her bare hands with long dirty fake nails and removed food off the plate bare handed, put it in a bowl then still served the food. Nope i wont tell you the gross stuff we saw or that i announced it and how it was disgusting (there was alot of things to see). But anyhow, my potatoes were for sure long over due for the trash. Yes they saw better days, probably days ago. But again the poor guy was working so hard there was no way we were saying a word shy of thank you.
So i took my spoon and flipped them and really didn't have to so much but decorate the face with burned bacon and a hard potatoe that was missing the peppers and onions. Again, its Christmas i wasnt going to complain and no way were we sending anything back to this poor guy. In the mean time, the abnominal snow chic was being rude and disrespectful to the waitress we had. Again i get it no one wants to be at work on Christmas. So i made a little one too. When i was done, our waitress came over and was laughing so hard. It was great to see her smile and laugh. She said it was the first time since the abnominal snowchic arrived being rude that she was laughing. So for the sake of laughter, i gifted her this masterpiece to help her make it through the night.
See the little things in life matter to many.
I can make it something to laugh about when i share it but others wont.

Hou charged me for an order that i never placed. Your website kept giving me error messages while running extremely slow and it kept duplicating every item i added to my cart. I ended up having to close the website browser and placing my order as guest instead of logging in. I finally got the order to go thru on your website 45 minutes after your cashier...

IHOP food

My family and I came for the grinch pancakes. When ordering the waitress said they were out of the green whip cream. I said ok and was happy I was still getting green pancakes. 15 min later my waitress comes back to tell me I have to order something else due to the fact they ran out of green pancake mix. Upset, I still ordered pancakes. Unhappy with my experience here.

IHOP service

Ordered online..See Receipt.. On the way to pick up the order the when I received a phone call saying the store was closing due to No Manager or Cook was at the store. I asked was my order canceled because I already had paid online. The person I spoke with said they couldn't do it. I continued to the store being I was on my way to pick up the order anyway. The staff was very disrespectful and unprofessional. As a customer I felt the situation was handled horrible. As of today I still haven't received my money back. Will NOT BE PATRONIZE THIS ESTABLISHMENT EVER AGAIN.

IHOP grinch advertised special

I recently visited the Ihop in Stuart, FL on Rt 1.
I was visiting my grandchildren from out of state and we were having a "Grinch Day."
After leaving the Grinch movie we headed to Ihop for a Grinch meal. The kids were very excited as they had seen many advertisements on TV and the posters were hung on the entrance to the restaurant. When we were seated we were told they did not have any of the Grinch meals and would offer no substitutes to accommodate us because of their lack of supplies. They would not honor the Kids eat free from 4-6.
The waitress informed us they had not had any of the Grinch products in days and had lost a lot of business because of it. The waitress seemed very embarrassed. She was very nice but management made no attempt to speak with us or accommodate us in any way. Frankly, I don't understand why they just couldn't get some green food coloring to satisfy their customers.
This was such a fun promotion by your restaurant and it is a shame this branch was not honoring it.

IHOP customer service and food

We visited the IHOP in Manchester, CT yesterday at about 5:30pm with our grand daughter. We arrived and were seats in a few minutes. There were only about 7 or 8 tables occupied. After ordering our basic meals, it took about 30 minutes to get our soup and salad appetizers. By that time I had finished my water and was not offered another. It took about another 20 minutes for our meals to come out. My boneless fried chicken was over cooked and the mashed potato's were instant with a dried crust around the outer edge. Not butter was added to the buttered corn. My husband didn't even have enough country gray to spend over his country fried steak. We should have gotten our grand daughters meal free with a paid adult entrée, we didn't. No one was around to question this to or even take our bill payment. We left our $ and left. This is our 2nd bad experience at this location and will NOT return again.
