Ihop

We have a family of 8. To be honest the drive for breakfast was hard today. No one could agree on what to have. We always eat IHOP it's always great but we just couldn't agree on a place. We pulled over and I told my kids we were going to be silent and I would pick. I picked the usual IHOP. We weren't all happy but it's what we were getting. The wait for s table was 10 minutes. The wait for our food also 45 minutes. The waitress was kind and patient with my kids. Our oldest daughters food didn't get put in the system. We were a little irked but I am a partner in a restaurant chain. I understand things happen. Our waitress is a cheerleader at school and was tasked to do one Random Act of Kindness. She paid for our entire meal out of her pocket except one meal as her act. It completely changed my entire attitude of being frustrated with how the day was going. I left one of the top 5 biggest tips I have ever left. She didn't ask for it but neither did I ask for her kindness. Thanks again and happy sunday.

We went to the one on the Turnpike and almost always have employees who have no experience or don't seem to care. Although not busy, we waited for table, and took several trips for server to get us all our food and beverage-told us they had staff show up late. Probably 6 staff in dining room, yet just standing around and talking and mulling around. For prices, not a winner, though some food is pretty decent. I was generous with rating (felt like a 2) due to I can feel for those who were honestly working to keep doors open.

Everytime I was starting to look for my server , it was like boom there she was and already knew what I was wanting. Friendly environment clean and food was brought with not one discrepancy. Very satisfied with service and food . Will make a habit of eating here more often . Thanks to the staff you guys are great !
