Ihop - Summerville

Worst IHOP experience I have ever had. The entrance was littered with scraps of paper. It was very cold. The food was horrible; tough broccoli that was probably wilted before cooking. The salmon was grilled too hard and very dry (that’s what I get for ordering salmon in a pancake house), would have sent the meal back but was too cold to wait on it. Now I know why the parking lot was empty when I pulled in. The servers, however, were very sweet and trying to make the best of working in a cold restaurant that was once a cozy place to get a good meal. Will not be returning.

Today is National Pancake Day. Best place for delicious pancakes and they're FREE

Sat for 20 minutes after 1pm on a Sunday and not a single person stopped to help us. They continued to seat customers throughout the restaurant. After getting a managers attention we were asked to move to another table because our assigned server had already left for the day. After sitting in our new seat for 5 minutes we had a waitress who didn’t bother to introduce herself, she just said, “can I get your drinks” and then walked off. No greeting whatsoever. I understand being busy and stressed out on a Sunday afternoon, but you could at least treat everyone equally. All the tables surrounding us were getting great service. Extremely disappointed. I only stayed because my 5 year old was promised IHOP and didn’t want to go elsewhere.

No wait to be seated, but everything else was a wait. Which might not have been bad since i wanted to visit with out of towners. However, my poached egg was so hard that i had to send it back. The Scrambled tasted like they were powdered. I've had MREs that were better, Never again!

Stopped in for what we hoped would be a late breakfast for me and lunch for my son at 12:30 on a Friday. We were seated quickly and our orders taken in a timely and drinks served. The place was not crowded but we noticed not many people were eating. At 30 minutes I began to get concerned and a nearby elderly woman got up to ask for the manager to inquire about her food. The manager was quite rude to her stating in a sarcastic tone thank you for your patience. The manager then proceeded to clear the table opposite ours practically throwing the dishes and silverware into a bin. She announced to her staff I 'll be in the back if you need me and disappeared. Suddenly after almost 45 minutes waiting, the tables around us and my son and I were served our food. I have always liked IHop and this was our first time at this one. It will also be our last.
