Let me start off by saying, had I read all the BAD reviews of this place before stopping by on a Sunday afternoon, I would of saved myself 2 hours of my day!
This is a new location, with ALOT of POTENTIAL!!! You hearing me Restaurant Manager ... lots of potential! For god sake, you have a brand new restaurant on your hands, NEW, CLEAN establishment!
Its a shame everyone who's given you 1 star is complaining of the exact same things. Its time to listen to your customers and make s change.
My sister, her friend and son, my two daughters and I decided to give this new iHop a try two weekends ago on a Sunday around 3pm.
There were only three other tables/families eating, the rest of the place was empty. We walked in at 3:02pm to be exact, we were seated. The waitress took our drink orders. It took her 10 mins to return with our drinks. She then took our food order, this was 15 mins into us being seated. My sister and her friend decided to try their new Burgers iHop is raving about. The rest of us ordered typical breakfast dishes (scrambled eggs, bacon, pancakes).
Our food took about 45 minutes to arrive at the table. And this is not even during peak hours, they were not busy at all. By this time there was only 1 other table eating. When the food finally arrived, it was COLD. You took 45 mins to bring the food out and by the time it arrived, its cold. NONONO!!!!!
My sister's friend Jen called the waitress back and asked to speak to the manager. She stated what I just said ...
FOOD TOOK 45 MINS TO ARRIVE
AND ON TOP OF THAT ITS COLD
The manager apologized and told her she didnt have to pay for it.
He said the cook didnt show up and he was having to play cook for the day (that may explain the long wait and cold food).
But even the waitress was rude when Jen complained about the cold food and took a loonngggg time to refill drinks.
When my bill came out (hence the manager didnt waive my bill, I guess cuz I didnt say anything when he was at the table listening to Jen. Even though my pancakes and eggs were cold as well).
I noticed he waitress charged me $1 to substitute a yogurt (because my youngest is allergic to eggs).
It was then when I called her over and said, EXCUSE ME, you never mentioned it would be $1 extra to substitute a yogurt in place of eggs. You can have the yogurt back. This is something you mention to the customer when they are placing the order, so they know ahead of time.
So my food was cold, took a long time, and on top of that you are charging me an extra $1 for yogurt. For this kind of service, you should have waived the $1 for the yogurt. She got upset and stormed off. I waited another 10-15 mins and she never came back. At this time we all got up and asked another waitress where I paid for my food and asked if she could take the $1 for the yogurt off the bill, she said okay, I'll take care of it. She then came back and said, the manager said you dont have to pay the bill, its on the house today.
That was nice and all, but doesnt make up for lousy service, long wait time and cold food.
I tipped the other waitress who brought me the occasional coffee refill (take it she was not the waitress assigned to us) and told her our only complaint was the long wait time, the cold food, and the waitress bad/rude atttude. We walked out at 4:50pm, almost two hours for 2 burgers, eggs and pancakes. And as I said before, the restaurant was literally empty. There is no excuse for this lousy service. I hope the manager reads this and makes changes. I am not from Rosenberg, but its ashame I'm going to think two or three times about it, before stopping off at this place again and giving them a second chance when visiting my parents who live in Rosenberg. PLEASE FIX THE SERVICE!!!! read more
