In the beginning of Jan 7 I have found a bunch of coupons for IHOP restaurant “Buy One Breakfast get one free” in our local newspaper. On 1/13/07, my husband and I decided to go to IHOP for a breakfast since we had the coupons and it seemed like a good deal. It is clearly stated in the coupon, to show it before ordering, and we did it. In response server said that we have to show it at the end when we pay. After having a breakfast my husband went to pay a bill to the cashier, and was rudely suggested to come back to the table and pay to the server. We asked server to take our money and a coupon, 3 minutes later she came back saying that they do not accept those coupons. This IHOP and other once in our neighborhood are NOT participating restaurants.

How disappointing I was, why would you even considering printing the coupons in a local newspaper, and then do that to people. Why if you have such unpleasant customer service people working there, who cannot even smile and say simple Good Morning, just to print a list of those participating restaurants, right there in newspaper, so we will not go and embarrass ourselves and bother your managers with explanations. At least we could had started our morning differently. Now we have to always find a list of participating restaurants before we go.

We went last night around 7pm. We noticed as we walked in that the A/C was not working. We were sat properly, then no one came to take our order. As we sat we overheard other customers complaints. We left. Very disappointed 😔

What is up with your hashbrowns? They have a pasty, gritty texture about them! It really was disgusting! Leading me to believe they are not really potatoes. I have been eating real potatoes for almost 60 years and those are NOT potatoes!

I also understand that the eggs are not real either!

Done eating at IHOP. I like REAL food!

I placed a Doordash order and I had two order that were very simular one order had an extra order of bacon, as well as a lemonade. The food arrived cold and the extra order of bacon was not sent with the order. I was very dissatisfied with my order on August 29, 85008. I am considering not order from ihop online again.

The pancakes at store #1721 are smaller than company owned stores and the rep needs to talk to this owner.
I also finally see that they hired a outside female apart from family members running store.
I also watched families who only got half of the food while the others waited.
Not a good example of IHOP reputation.

I am a regular customer that loves Ihop but this is the 3rd time I witness this waitress/ hostess yell in the middle of the restaurant inches away from my booth to another employer after being very aggressive she's all over the place. Its criticism and not professional.

I tried to order an egg white omelette with cheese and mushrooms. Waitress said that I Had to have pancake batter mixed in omelette even though I asked for them to leave it out. She refused and now I am eating toast. The only thing I eat here is omlettes. Her rudeness and lack of customer service is unbelievable.

Been trying to reach the GM for over a week. Refuses to call me back and other employees told me he is purposely not responding because he doesnt care about getting me mine W2. Treats people with ni respect.
When I worked there, he bullied multiple employees and lets other drink and smoke weed on the job.

I was wanting to talk to the manager about a situation with my daughter who was an employee there. April the manager came out of the back and verbally attacked me. She wouldn't let me talk. She bad mouthed my daughter and belittled her in front of others. She was aggressive with me and I am disappointed with her. She doesn't need to be a manager.

I loved your corned beef breakfast so much that I woke up thinking about having it this morning. Unfortunately, I've just discovered from our server that it was taken off the menu. Please, please, please bring it back.

I was in sunday and the manager kim i believe was rude and did not believe me when we showed her the hair in our food. Some one like that does not need to be in charge. Then she was being short with the server.

We found a fly on the whipped cream of my grandson's pancakes and the only thing the server did was to offered an order of free pancakes that I didn't accept. IHOP won't see me again

I frequently visit this restaurant. There is a newer manager that just stares at people. I asked him for a to go box and he looked at me like he didnt understand English. He was rude when he brought me a refill instead of the box and I corrected him.

Ay 9:10 pm we walked out after waiting 30 minutes with no drink. We were sat a a dirty table, syrup spilled all on the floor. We asked for another table were told none were available. There was at least 20 empty. We were told we had to stay at that table if we wanted service
