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.

IHOP location 3119 My husband and I frequent this location on a pretty regular schedule for breakfast. We have been seated 3 times now in the area where a waitress by the name of Tammy C /229 is our server. I don't usually like to complain, but this waitress lacks on many levels. She's nice, but unprofessional and has no concept of how she should be...

Last night a couple of friends and I came in to have dinner around 8:40ish and we had a terrible experience. The waiter last night was very rude and unpleasant. We were a little understanding at first as it was close to the closing time although that should be no excuse.

IHOP former employee complaint

Hello Julia Stewart,

I'm writing to share my experience of working for IHOP in the year 2002 for two years. You may wonder why I am writing you so many years later and I can tell you why. It all starts with a college student who had a passion for teaching and was attending college to become a teacher. This college student also didn't have any support financially or otherwise from my family. That person is myself who is now a successful teacher and at the time needed to work to pay my way through college. At some point during my college years I learned that I enjoyed being a waitress and thought I was good at doing so. I had just entered Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and began working at IHOP in San Luis Obispo on Madonna Rd. Since I was completely independent and could not rely on anyone if any unforeseen financial burdens arose I did feel a need to keep my job at IHOP regardless of how I was treated. That is where the why comes in with my being compelled to contact you regarding my experience. I worked for a manager at the time who yelled at myself in front of the customers such as "Hurry, Hurry!" inches from my face with plates stacked on my arms. She also treated me like I was less than or stupid. I continued trying to improve my abilities as a waitress since I was so young, in my 20s, and thought maybe I was doing something wrong. She continued to yell at me very loudly with her eyes pierced and yelling closely to me. Also, the cooks that I worked with would make me feel uncomfortable as well making advances toward myself and my sister. My sister also worked there at some point and was her first job as well as being quite young. They flirted with her as well.

The manager did nothing to curtail their advances. I was quite uncomfortable working with my co-workers but I believed in the quality of the food as well as enjoyed my customers. It was quite difficult to enjoy the aspects of the job I enjoyed due to the mental duress I was under. After all, I was afraid and feared losing my job. I do hope that others do not have these experiences and haven't since I left. I do not think it is alright for restaurant managers to treat their employees like they are stupid and create an uncomfortable working environment. They need to know there is more than upselling and making money. Wait staff are humans who may be a college student as I was who was quite alone in the world and felt a sense of accomplishment being a waitress and building those connections with customers. Building those connections with staff is just as important. Thank you for your time.

What would suggest after these rude comments? don't teach English? don't complain about something traumatic? no solutions given here. Just rudeness.
