"---------------------CHICKEN & AWFULS---------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nPlease, Please, Please for the Love of all things food related, SAVE your money and AVOID this IHOP.\n\nOur experience was as follows:\nThis was our 1st time going to this IHOP. It was 8:45 pm on June 5, 2013 we had 3 members in our dinner party.\n\nThe restaurant was empty except for the staff, it was clean and our waitress was very kind and friendly. \n\nWe sat down and our waitress was prompt and courteous, she gets 5 stars ;)\nShe took our order correctly.\n\nTwo out of the three meals that were ordered were served as expected and went off without a hitch the third meal was 100% fail. All kitchen side issues.\n\nWhat was ordered:\nChicken and Waffles + a House salad\n\nWhat went wrong:\n\n1.The House Salad on the menu Pictures fresh bowl of garden greens with shredded carrot , Croutons and 2ish or so red onion slices. What came to the table however was like iceberg lettuce \"salad in a bag\" style with croutons and nothing else.\n(Still Ok , at this point, still acceptable for this level of eatery despite\n the Misleading menu Images) \n\n2. Just so you know the IHOP menu describing chicken and waffles reads:\n\n\"We pair up four all-white-meat golden chicken strips -- breaded and crispy-fried, with four waffle quarters (topped with whipped butter!) for a one-of-a-kind meal. Dip your strips in honey mustard sauce, or your choice of dipping sauce.\"\n\nThe waitress brought the \"Chicken\" part of the chicken and waffles, looking extremely underwhelming and pale, ALONE on a plate. Just \"Bam\" a plate of very pale chicken strips and no waffles whatsoever, or even garnish. Just Ugly Pale chicken all lonely and sad.\nShe then explained that the kitchen failed to cook the waffles, and that the waffles were NOT ready because they didn't even have the waffle cooker on at that point.\n\nAbout 10 minutes later, still no waffle, just a nearly 9$ plate of pale sadness.\nI decided to walk my pale plate of \"Just chicken\" over to the manager. He was very busy ( No he wasn't ) chatting with a female staff member near the soda machines, I said \"Look at my chicken and chicken, I ordered chicken and waffles and this is just chicken, Im waiting and waiting and its still just chicken, how are you going to charge me almost 9$ for this? He Was polite and said he would remove the item from my bill, I looked at the female he was talking too and said \"can you feel me here?\" and she said \"yes\".\n\nAs I was returning to my table the \"waffle\" Arrived!\nHowever The Belgian waffle was a nasty mess (assuming it had something to do with the non-prepared waffle iron) it too, was extremely pale, soggy and 100% under cooked, when you picked it up with your finger, there was nothing crispy about it, it was just floppy and flacid. An eggo waffle out of the freezer looks more appetizing, Words dont describe the fail of this \"chicken and awful's\" dinner.\n\nThe waitress was embarrassed, I told her She was fantastic and gave her a good tip, poor thing. \n\nMy True and honest impression of the problem was that the manager, albeit nice, seemed like a dopey doodah who was more interested in his young female staff than what sort of food was coming out of the window.\n\n\nEXTREMELY UNDERWHELMED, WONT BE GOING BACK"^^ .
