text: Things kept getting worse nnMy daughter had a desire for some IHOP breakfast so we stopped there after running several errands on a Saturday morning With the opening Illinois football game in town rain and a holiday weekend we did not know what to expectnnThe restaurant was crowded but we were seated quickly Thr waiter was pleasant Our orders seemed simple Belgian Waffle Combo and Ham and Egg Melt Combo So we waited and waited and waited As people who ordered after us got their food it became clear that something had gone wrong Our waiter had a pained look on his face when he saw what was going on He came to the table and apologized for the wait He took the Belgian Waffle Combo off our bill and gave us the bill early Good attempt at fixing the situation I thought Then we waited and waited and waited Finally our food came I had to ask for silverware since there had been only one set at the table My sandwich looked lopsided one side much more full than the other I attempted to rectify the situation myself only to find that my Ham and Egg Melt had no hamnnI flagged down the waiter to let him know what happened He was going to have the sandwich redone but I said no since we had already been in there so long and the order was still not right I asked about speaking to the manager Our waiter went away and told us that the manager said get this that I would be charged for the price of a kids grilled cheese sandwich I told the waiter that I found that insulting and told him that I was not going to pay for the sandwich He then told me do not remember if he went back and spoke to the manager again that he was a crew chief and he would take care of things and that I would not be charged We finished our meal and leftnnThe food was unremarkable but okay Kudos to the waiter for trying to fix things The management response about paying for the wrong meal was laughablennWith other superior breakfast options in town it will be a long time before I come back to this particular IHOP
