Ihop - Olympia

The food was decent, but that was the only positive aspect of my experience. The staff argued and cursed about who was to blame for various issues in the kitchen. We never received a full meal because they were too overwhelmed. The area was dirty, and had I peeked into the kitchen, I would have left immediately. The floors looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in days, and our supposedly "clean" table was sticky with remnants from previous diners. There were child handprints everywhere, and the windows showed clear signs of neglect when it came to regular cleaning. Staff members were handling food without gloves and even eating in the kitchen. To top it all off, our service was rushed and chaotic, with no explanation for the delay. I won’t be returning.

We stopped by this restaurant while traveling, and it wasn't too busy. My partner ordered the Pablano Omelet, while I chose the pancake combo with a blueberry pancake. My breakfast was fantastic, and I loved every bite. I tried a bit of my partner’s omelet, and if I had been the one who ordered it, I would have sent it back. There were green peppers and jalapeños, but not a hint of pablanos. Don’t get me wrong, it was a good omelet, but it just didn’t match the description.

The dining experience was decent, but the waiter was quite loud and overly friendly, which came off as insincere. His mannerisms were rather irritating, as he spoke to us as if we were children or didn’t understand English. It was distracting enough that others in the restaurant could easily hear him. When I addressed this with the manager, she mentioned that she only receives compliments about his behavior, which is hard to believe.

It was dirty that I had to go, not ordered food, but dinner sticky menus. Everyone thinks dirty, but the table tops. I just felt rough sitting there.

Sooo bad; dirty and run-down. Limited menu choices and the food was so bad we just left it on our plates.
