My family and I decided at about 9 o'clock one night to go out to eat. We decided to go to IHOP. Once seated it took 20 minutes for anyone to even acknowledge that we were seating there and take our drink order. Once we got our drinks we ordered our food. We waited, and waited, and waited. Finally we decide to speak to a manger (by now it's about 1030) and she claims they are short on cooks. After telling her we are going to leave, our food comes out, but it's cold! When we tell our waitress we don't even want it now, the manager couldn't even show her face and sent our waitress back out to tell us she'd take care of it! No one apologized!! So we decide on Denny's. Once we got there they apologized they were short on staff. So we sat down, ordered or drinks and food. 1115 came around and we began to see people come in and eat and leave before we even got our food. This went on until about 1145 and finally the waiter came over and says our order was lost and he needed to re-enter it! We refused and decided to go elsewhere. So needless to say we drove 1 hour away to a Waffle House, ate, and were home in less time than we wasted!!!
