  • We're walking out!

    Last night after bowling we went to IHOP (International House of Pancakes) for a quick bite. Well, it sure wasn't quick, that's for sure! We were seated; after about 10 minutes our waitress finally took our order. About another 10 minutes, she brought out the drinks. 10 minutes later, she came over and said our food will be out shortly. Well, 30 minutes later we still didn't get our food. The table behind us sat there for 20 minutes unattended.

    So what did we do? We decided to leave. It was ridiculous.  When the waitress saw us get up, she was shocked and scared. We told her, We're walking out!  and she had the "oh shit" face... that was 50 minutes wasted!! (we told the table behind us that they should just forget about it too ) and I was craving for that darn swiss cheese, bacon & mushroom omelete!

    humm 50 minutes of waiting? wow i have been a waitress for quite sometimes before and i have never let a table waited for that long because i would be scare as hell if people were to walk out on me. i'd probably hand that table to my co-worker who's not as busy. but yes i know IHOPE has the best breakfast for me i love that place!

    I don't blame you.  I would've done the same thing.  I also leave a 25 cent tip when service is real bad to make a point.

    LMAO - I've done that many times where service is just unacceptable like you described. But honestly, IHOP is the same every where you go. It's like their culture. Don't expect much from IHOP.

    I don't think I've ever walked. There have been many times we should have left.

    I'm a rat.  I'd report it to IHOP international.  It's either company owned or a franchise.  They should know this crap is happening.

    yeah .. i hate bad restaurant service.  you ever watch Kitchen Nightmares?  It made me realize that most of the time it isnt' the server's fault.  It is often times the kitchen or the manager that is causing the back-up.  

    But then again ... servers can be the reason too.  Meh ... anyway.  Gordon Ramsey is fun.  

    Who am I?

    Wow!!!!  That's incredible!!!  We've had a couple of bad experiences with Denney's but it was understandable because (1) they were severly understaffed and (2) the crowds were ridiculously huge because of events in town.

    Wow...it's such a bummer to have your mouth set on something and then not get it!  Arg for you!!!

    So, did you go somewhere else?
