Ihop

I really wanted to give this place 5 stars, but could not because the side fries were noticeably less than usual for a diner plate and thr ambience was a bit cold and uninviting. However, the food was delicious, as my wife and six children will agree, the service was fast, and the waitress was exceptionally gracious, polite, and helpful. She deserves six stars! Plenty of parking outside and clean dining area.

They had one server, one cook and a manager that had been on for 12 hrs. It was crazy. They had 23 people that all got seated within 20 minutes of each other and they all got served with in a half hour!! They ROCKED it!! I’m only giving them a 4 star because of the shortage of staff, the cleanliness and the fact they support/sponsor children’s hospital sanford (which was why were in Fargo in the first place and told the lady about our 3 month old being in the hospital) and we didn’t even get a free beverage. We only went to iHop because it was on the wall of sponsors. Next time we will try another establishment.

I had a relatively short wait considering it was a Sunday morning on a weekend there was a big hockey tournament going on in town. The food was great as usual. The service was excellent. The only reason I have them 4 stars instead of 5 stars was the fact that the handicap parking was about 4-6 inches of packed in ice and snow. The cement parking stop in front of the space had formed into a giant ski ramp. My car was tilted and off balance once parked and was dangerous getting out of the car.

Food was great but service was terrible the lady barley checked on us, after we had been clearly done eating for about 10 minutes we signal check please and she turns away goes to the kitchen goes to the table 3 down from us gets there money walks passed and we then again ask for check she without hesitation keeps walking, now mind you it's just us the ppl who just paid and another couple in front of us in her section. This lady comes back out to I assume being them there change k couldn't believe it, she literally went out of her way to not come near our table, she goes around 3 tables where nobody is sitting to return they change. Then proceeds down another isle back towards the kitchen on the other side of where we were.... Very very rude! Anyway we ended up having to ask another waitress that was working for our check.

So disappointed slow morning in the restaurant. Waited for over a half hour for our food and it came out cold, so obviously it sat for I don’t know how many minutes before our food was brought out. Cold hash browns cold pancakes butter wouldn’t melt on either one. Waitress offered to go heat it up. If we wanted a microwave meal we would have went to a gas station. And by the way she was training a new employee. I believe that is the fist time I have never left a tip.
