We went to eat at your IHOP restaurant located in Midvale in Tucson, AZ on Wednesday, December 25, 2019, Christmas Day. We arrived around 2:30 pm, and placed our order. The restaurant was about 1/2 full, we ended up waiting over 1 hour to get our food order. I had ordered a BLT, which I don't understand why that would take an hour to make, when we finally...

I'm unable to tolerate foods that contain flour or potatoes (toast, muffins or biscuits). Our waitress suggested a fruit bowl. I assumed there was no additional charge for this, but discovered I was mistaken. Manager did remove the charge, but I believe ihop is discriminating against people who cannot tolerate flour or potatoes due to being diabetic.

Ordered my Philly with no onions and no bread with bell peppers. After 30+ minutes I was given cold dry meat that looked like poorly scissor cut not sliced Carne asada with no bell peppers, "I have pics". The waitress Jayleen was very kind and asked if I wanted it heated up but I declined, she should've asked if I wanted it remade. Not only was the quality...

IHOP service in general

Walked in seen it was busy, that was fine, but then people started coming in after us and walking through finding their own seats while me and my friend patiently waited to be seated.
Staff was very rude, servers would look at us and walk away, no manager in sight, only then to be told 45 mins later we'll be right with you, and still then the manager comes and seats the people that came in after us, after we waited patiently. Set at table for another 30 mins before even seeing our server let alone have our drink orders taken, food was unthinkable at this point seeing how understaffed the place was. It was chaos.
I am very disappointed with the service and have a very hard time even wanting to come back.

I was visiting the ihop in orlando... First I will say that our service was great. Lindsey was the servers name and she was amazing. However, while eating we overheard one of the managers yelling at all the servers in a very loud and disrespectful tone... Very unappreciative of her employees... Second it was campaign time with children s miracle network...

I usually do not do this, but as a parent and manager myself. I feel that IHOP needs to replace the manager Named Hugo at the Durant IHOP in Oklahoma. My daughter worked there up until today! He is very rude to employees, he yells at them in front of others, all waitress uses the manager card, weather it is his, his wife's/ girlfriends, or the manager that...

I submitted a corporate complaint on October 2nd, after my family and I visited for breakfast September 29th. I was hesitant to complain because I'm usually one to just look the other way, BUT my kids were involved and were still talking about it days after so I just felt the need to reach out. I was sent a response 6 days ago saying someone would be...

IHOP management

At the Temple IHop, On 10/4 at 10:33pm, I was waiting to get my bill split and the waitress was asking the manager to come to the register to assist her in splitting the tickets. The manager (Danielle) very loudly yelled across the restaurant that she did not have time to assist our waitress in splitting our bill. She stated "I don't have time for that" this was not very professional and is not how a manager should conduct herself. The restaurant was full when she decided to yell this across the restaurant. Our waitress Ashley W was a very nice waitress and was very patient in waiting on the "manager" to come assist. The manager was sorting food while other employees stood around. I'm not sure as to why she "did not have time" for paying customers.

IHOP food cold and order not correct

I picked up a carry out order for my husband and I. Our food was cold and undress, and my husband's omelet was not as he asked for it. He ordered a loaded omelet and hashbrowns...omelet was supposed to have extra cheese and tomato added, plus no onion, and got the exact opposite. I ordered a BLT combo with fries and coleslaw. The bacon was hard and overcooked and both the sandwich and fries were ice cold. Please remedy this situation and feel free to call if you need anymore info from me. Thank you.

IHOP food quality

IHOP cyber hub gurgaon is where we went on September 22nd at 11:30 AM.

We had terrible breakfast experience. Everything we ordered was bad in taste and quality. The garden omlett my wife ordered smelled of bad oil. The strawberries on pancake were bitter and sour. Spaghetti bolognaise was so bad cannot explain- extremely sour, poor quality lamb pieces. The chocolate milkshake was so very sweet even my little 5 year old daughter who loves chocolate could not finish. For Rs 2000 it was the worst food experience we have had.

I had stayed and worked in the US for about 10 years and I was a frequent visitor to IHOP. Please audit the IHOP Cyber Hub Gurgaon and shut the damn place down if required as it is spoiling IHOP brand with pathetic customer experience.

IHOP food

The Red Velvet pancake should come back. it was my favorite thing there. i got it every time i went. most people enjoyed it. especially with the cream cheese frosting. no matter how sweet it was, it was delicious. Taking it away just because it was to sweet is not really a reason to take it away. if people didn't like it, they didn't have to eat it, or just order it with no cream cheese. i bet a lot of people was very disappointed when we found out it got taken away.

IHOP service, cleanliness

My date of visit was 8-31-19. My husband and I arrived at 4:30 P.M. and there were NO other cars in parking lot. Walked into a totally filthy welcome mat at front entrance and 4 employees just sitting around doing nothing because of having and were given only one set and told she'd get us the other set. After waiting over 5 mins. for that, I got up and took some off of a nearby table. Our coffee was brought to us and there was no container on the table with sugar packets, so I had to get up and steal that from another table as well. It took what i felt was exceptionally long time to get our order considering no other customers were there. We waited almost 20 mins. for our order and then was shocked to see the size of the pancakes which weren't even as large as the saucers on our table. I commented on the size and was told they had recently cut down on the size. Additionally, they were cold and would not even melt the butter. When getting the syrup, the bottles had syrup dripped down the sides and were sticky all over. This is a fairly newly opened restaurant and our previous visits there have been pleasant. There is no excuse for the workers to be sitting around doing nothing though when they have no customers and not preparing everything for the next busy time while time allows.
