Now, I don't know if all the IHOPs in the Phoenix area do this...but this one is under orders NOT to season their food AT ALL. This is just like typical cafeteria food (think Furr's). I know WHY they do it, they cater to the blue hair crowd whose elderly stomachs can't handle it. But what's to stop them from putting a damn sign up saying exactly that!
I previously had not had issues with their food, usually eating breakfast food. If I had steak, I could put A-1 on it. But chicken parmesan without Italian seasoning and no garlic garlic bread was AWFUL, completely and totally tasteless cardboard.
They get the one star only because of that. Service is usually good, even late at night and, now that I know, I'll be more careful about what I order or bring seasoning myself
