I came into IHOP yesterday with my father and my grandparents. Before even being seated, we could see that the restaurant was just a zoo. There were about four little children screaming and running right in front of the hostess station. My grandparents are both very feeble. If they were to have a collision with one of the children, they would have easily fallen over. Allowing these children to behave as they were doing was highly inappropriate on the part of the hosts and servers. When we came to our table the busboy brought us waters. He was very pleasant despite being very busy. After a few minutes, our server came over to see if we were ready to order. I was debating between either soup or a turkey sandwich. I asked him what the soup of the day was. He admitted to not knowing, rolled his eyes, and offered to check. To roll your eyes at a customer is highly unprofessional. When he brought us our food, he did not even ask if he could get us anymore water. We had to ask another server, who was much more polite, if he could refill our water glasses. This server did not refill our water glasses. He brought us each a new glass of water, which really was not necessary. Our server only came to check us on us once and this was when he gave us our bill. We left the money for the bill on the table because with the money was the tip for our server. As we were making our way back toward the hostess station, our server caught up with us and told us to go back to the table, get the money for the bill, and bring it to the hostess station. I was surprised that he did not take the initiative to bring it up to the hostess station himself. And yes, there were still children running and screaming at the hostess station. We will not be back. read more
