My wife recently quit work at this location due to verbal abuse and accusations of drug use, when an assistant manager singled her out and decided to talk to her like she was a dog, made her do other jobs in the building and not wait tables, while the manager waited the tables and took the tips. When my wife worked at another resturant the managers from huddle house came to recruit my wife and caused trouble at her last job forcing her to quit so she went to the huddle house to be verbaly abused what kind of people does huddle house employ.

I would just like to know if this is considered a professional way to address your employees through writing. I am pretty sure that the ceo's, and top level managers are not going to post something like this up for their employee's. I feel that it can be worded in a more professional manner so that it will not convey any negativity. What do you think? As a business executive, How would you feel if you were to read something like this posted by your manager. It would be alot of negative outcomes, because of just the way it is worded. Managers need to do a better job at communicating with their employee's and learn to pick a better tone through writing. it will avoid alot of potential problems. And please lead by example. If you don't go by the rules strictly then don't expect your employee's to, and when rules are made make sure they apply to every employee and not just the ones you dislike. If that is the way a manager operates then they are not true managers.

Huddle House has some good tasting food at some great values, but a many of the echelons of management, including this one, have some serious political stigma. I can tell you for the record that Mike Ripley is one of the sorriest people, in and out of the workplace. Despite being the strongest talent in the establishment, I was always the one who was in trouble on a daily basis. I couldn't make waves with any of my co-workers, but if he had a problem with the way I was doing something, he would sure as silver call me out on it. He would actually cuss and dog me in front of customers, and he would never ever look back on it. Not only that, but one time he actually directed a co-worker to start a verbal fight with me in the parking lot as I was making my way to my car to go home. If you're asking me, his most basic voluntary and involuntary motor movements are considerably substandard to anything that is socially acceptable in real life. Most of the females that work there will complain that he touches them inappropriately. If you don't believe me, just go in there and talk to some of them, if you dare anyways. I guess he doesn't love that nasty wife of his too badly, the one that creates quite a few of the waves in the establishment. I also observed that there is one girl who works as a dishwasher, is grossly autistic, and that employees would take advantage of her on some of the odd jobs that are rightly theirs, because they are willing and allowed to. If they would do it to her and I ever allowed it, I am sure they would have done it to me. He does have a boss who is the owner, but that man never gave me his home number so he must not be too interested in what is really going on there. I guess Ripley has every key in the establishment until he either quits or dies. I dealt with the whole thing for well over a year until I was pushed to the limit, and then I realized I needed to walk away from it all before I did something that I would really regret. I don't know any corporate overseers who are interested in my story, either; of course I'm sure they still don't understand the demise of the Huddle House name. This is a shame if you consider that they have much better food than Waffle House. How is it that these companies respect the opinion of customers, but not the low-end assembly crew. Management is really not about being the big shot, but about team building. That is something that people like that people like him certainly don't get. No point in ever trying to tell him either. My family and I are getting closer to starvation, and I still won't consider ever fetching my old job back over there.

I too worked for the same company, ISA Restaurant Group, owned by Tom Feltman. I believe you, because I was not paid fairly, and my employees were not paid fairly. They were offered potential raises, and never received them, and I was done the same way before I made manager. When I quit, I only received half my pay, but I had worked 38 hours and had only 5 scheduled hours left in my week.

When we got to the Huddle House..very few people and the place was dirty...and unclean..it wasn't very busy for the place to look like that..., food on floors..tables not cleaned .Employees..had visiters, , kids..spouses, , etc..loud and a couple came in..and sat for at least 20 mins..and waitress did not even aprouch them and say it will be a min or nothing said to them..needless to say..after 25 mins..they left..I then told the waitress, , that couple left, , her responce was..oh well..if they can't see we are very busy..and have patience, , thats there problem.., how rude..of her to even say that when the place wasn't that busy..! I just moved here, and wanted to try the restrant out, , but, , I will not return the that restrant..after that visit, , that was enough for me..You all need to fire those employees..and hire a new manager..and get the place in good running order...I will not return to your Restrant..at all..Just a heads up..to have the place cleaned up..Good Luck, , , Concerned Custermer...

I ordered pecan pancakes. They were horrible. Extremely dry and tasted like they were cooked on a dirty grill. The store was dirty and the booth was sticky. The staff didn't really seem to care what they were serving. They seemed more interested in hanging out and running a daycare. Worst meal I ever had.

Took over and hour to get my food no one never said sorry for my wait or anything. To be honest I think the food should had been free at that point they need help or better mangment. So many people walked out because of this problem. I'm a manger myself and if u got someone training to cook then another cook should be with them

Today April 20th 2023 around 12:30 pm A waitress in the huddle house got in trouble and flipped out on another employee and cussed and screamed so bad me and my grandma and young children had to leave. I would hope the manger will take care of it but she was referring to the employee as a white [censored] and was very unprofessional

Why are your omelets so god-blessed small? Are you using pigeon eggs? Also, what happened to the whipped, fluffy omelets? This happens every Saturday at approximately 9:00 in the morning. Server was Andrew. I'm saying nothing but good things about him, he just delivers the food.⁹

Saw a great photo in the menu of the 2 egg, bacon, hash browns, waffle and biscuits for $12.69. Ordered it. What I got was a measly small plate of food. 2 tiny eggs, 3 forkfuls of hash browns, greasy bacon, lukewarm waffle. A terrible value for the money.
