| - After my experience tonight, I may not go back to an iHop. That saddens me.
I went with 2 friends. I ordered an order of Swedish Crepes and a new breakfast dish that I don't recall the name of but it had pieces of grilled chicken, scrambled egg, tomato, and avocado with what was allegedly a cheddar cheese sauce, all on what was allegedly a Ciabatta roll. One of my friends ordered the beef tips, which he had eaten before and enjoyed enormously. He ordered them medium rare. The 2nd friend ordered a cheeseburger.
The crepes were hard around the edges. Not crunchy or crispy; no, they were hard. Hard to cut and hard to chew; unpleasant to eat. There were a number of issues with the grilled chicken platter. First, it was dry. Second, the chicken looked as though someone had pre-chewed it for me. 3rd, the alleged cheddar sauce tasted like ranch dressing on one end of the plate; at the other end, because the sauce had started to cool, it had also started to thicken and did actually taste like cheese. I thought perhaps they had run out of cheese sauce part way through and had finished it up with ranch. The problem is, I don't like ranch dressing. I had one of my friends taste it to confirm that it really did taste like ranch dressing and he said yes, that it did. And he likes ranch dressing. Finally, the Ciabatta roll on the bottom actually tasted more like Texas Toast. This is a new menu item and what I would say is, it is dry and has no flavor and I would recommend that you not keep it on the menu.
My friend's beef tips, ordered medium rare, came out well done. He sent them back. The server was very nice; she said something like "he promises they'll come out the way you want them this time or you won't have to pay for them." As you may guess, out they came and well done they were. We cut into the largest of the pieces and there was the tiniest whisper of pink on the inside. Not medium rare. My other friend's burger, well, we opened it up and almost had to send in a search party, the burger part was very small, dry, and flavorless. And the onion rings, he said, were a whole lot of breading and not very much onion and he didn't think he would order them again.
This is the first time I've been to a restaurant and everything was terrible. The reason I rated it a 2 was for nostalgia; I've had food there that was good and I miss those days.
