Ihop - Merrillville

We were sitting right at the entrance to their facility. our server ms. crystal was pleasant and nice, she waited for 6 people, 3 adults and 3 children and their imagination never changed. it facilitates digesting the food when a server wants to do its job with excellent. thanks for the creation of workers like frau crystal.

Me and the family definitely enjoyed our time here. The food took a long time to come out but overall was good. And I was surprised how good it tasted. I will continue to suggest the country fried steak every time to everyone

We received our order scattered and incomplete. A couple things were incorrect. I tend to have a better experience going in later hours. I will say the waitress was new. So we were very patient. The manager fixed everything and she was amazing. The waitress was really sweet but definitely needs more training. I'm giving this 4 stars because this was the first time we had a not so good experience. Other than that it's a descent IHOP. Hopefully next time will be better .

So, ALL of the tables were filthy with dishes all over them (after we were seated, someone did go around cleaning up though). This means they had to seat us right up against the only other group that was in there at the time. Those people asked to move, for which I was thankful cuz it was awkward. Our waitress may have been nice, but I couldn't understand her since she didn't compensate for the mask that was clinging to her face so bad it muffled every word, so she also may have been rude, I have no way of knowing. We didn't get our pop (only one person got coffee) until the food came and we asked for our pop. The chicken tenders were REALLY good. Idk what was in that breading but it was delicious!! The fries were OK, the onion rings were pretty good too. My daughter loved the pancake sundae and my hubby liked his burger.

Nice staff but the cleanliness of the place is questionable. The coffee pot was dirty with some sort banana cream on it from the moment they sat us. They brought me a coffee mug to drink which was dirty as well. Just saw the gentleman sitting next to me also state their mug was dirty. I hope the kitchen is being cleaned better than their dishware.
