My husband and I visited IHOP tonight because that is where he wanted to go for his birthday. It was 6pm and the place was almost empty.
We ordered and got our drinks. We were seated in the middle section where you could see the food prep area. I looked up and saw our waiter standing on the counter where the prepared plates are put for the garnishes to be added. He was walking, with his shoes on, back and forth cleaning the wall tiles above where the take out trays are kept. This turned my stomach. My husband walked up to the kitchen and told the waiter (Tyler) that he shouldn't be walking across the counter. Tyler told him he would wipe it down when he was done. He wiped it down with a wad of dry paper towels. I could only pick at my meal. Before we left a woman, not dressed in the IHOP uniform, came into the dining area with a bucket of water with enough bleach in it to burn your nose.
Do Not Eat Here!!!! There's no telling what you might find on or in your food.
