IHOP

The only reason I dined at IHOP is because Over Easy Cafe was closed thee end.

I know it's not the Ritz Carlton but next time I will call ahead to make sure they have silverware.  Ate there today (Thanksgiving) and they didn't have clean silverware so the waitress gave me and the wife pre-packaged plasticware.  Hey, at least we get to keep the plastic ware, also came with salt and pepper, yay!

Food was great, we didn't get water, although we were told about water a couple times.  They didn't have any big glasses so the waitress asked if we wanted small glasses, and then she just didn't bring any, weird.  So bring your own water too maybe.  But they did have hot sauce.  Also my wife wanted to order off the kiddie menu and they wanted to charge us an extra dollar for that...she is kind of short so what was the big deal really, it's not like the cook knows what's goin on out there.

I did take like about four coffee creamers though as a tax for all the inconvenience but the creamers popped open in my jeans later so probably won't do that next time.

All in all good Thanksgiving brunch spot, just call ahead to see about the state of things.

I arrived at this ihop with a party of six at approximately one in the morning on a Thursday. The restaurant was empty so we were promptly seated, and our experience went downhill from there. My friends and I placed our orders and the drinks came out. Unfortunately one of my friends found a FLY in his water. He informed the server and she took away the glass, but replaced it ten minutes later without an apology. Now, a wait for the food is understandable, simply because it is one in the morning. My crepes came with whipped cream and I asked the server to put it on the side (I'm picky as I want to control the amount of whipped cream I consume) and she put a large dallop on them. It is after midnight so I let that little mistake slide. My friend ordered her eggs over easy, but it was simply undercooked so she did not finish them. Another friend ordered red velvet pancakes. Now I'm not sure if the fly was in the batter and was cooked into the pancake or if it landed on it but we definitely found it on her pancakes. The point I'm trying to make is that this ihop is not sanitary whatsoever. There are flies flying around and I question if their cooks are trained enough. The reason why I am being so harsh on my review of this ihop is because the last time I went there, my dining experience was even worse (and yet I wonder why my friends and I returned to this particular ihop in the first place). I will definitely not visit this ihop again.

I would like to mention that this review ONLY applies to this ihop. I've been to multiple ihop locations and have been satisfied. This place really needs a visit from the health inspector, because it is simply disgusting.
