I thought it was prompt service even in such a later hour...although I think he could have smiled...

If I could give a rating of negative stars... I would.



DO NOT EAT AT THIS OR ANY IHOP. IF AND WHEN YOU GET FOOD POISONING, BE SURE TO GET SOMEONE TO TAKE YOU TO THE LOCATION SO YOU CAN PUKE AND CRAP ALL OVER THE PLACE SO THEY HAVE PROOF YOU GOT SICK. I GOT FOOD POISONING FROM THIS LOCATION. THERE IS NO TEST IN AN E.R. THAT CAN PROVE OR DISPROVE FOOD POISONING, THEY CAN ONLY TREAT THE SYMPTOMS. BECAUSE MY FAMILY DIDN'T GET SICK (THEY DIDN'T EAT AN OMELET) AND NO ONE ELSE REPORTED GETTING SICK, JEFF HORNSBY OF FARMERS INSURANCE STATED HIS INVESTIGATION CAME BACK THAT I DID NOT GET SICK FROM IHOP. WHEN THAT IS THE ONLY THING YOU ATE THAT DAY, YOUR VOMIT CONSISTED OF EGGS AND STANK OF ROTTEN EGGS, WHERE ELSE COULD I HAVE GOTTEN SICK? "OUR HEALTH INSPECTIONS COME BACK FINE". ALL IT TAKES IS ONE PERSON NOT WASHING THEIR HANDS, A DIRTY UTENSIL, ANYTHING IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY CAN MAKE YOU SICK. HOW MANY RESTAURANT MAKE OVER SHOWS HAVE KITCHENS THAT SHOULD BE HEALTH CODE VIOLATIONS STILL OPERATING? SERIOUSLY, THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I WILL NEVER BE EATING AT THIS OR ANY OTHER IHOP LOCATION AGAIN. EVER!







My account to the insurance company:



My husband, 2 yr old daughter and I visited the Waldorf, MD IHOP location on 12/9/11. My husband ordered a pancake platter, my daughter had the kids' french toast, and I ordered the Big Steak Omelet.

I always order this omelet without fail - No hashbrowns inside, on the side; English Muffin instead of pancakes; sour cream on the side. We checked out at 11:51AM.

Around 6PM I began to have discomfort in my stomach accompanied by belching that smelled like rotten eggs. This went on for a few hours, I could not take any medicine for this feeling as I was 39 week pregnant. I didn't have any other food for dinner/snack because I knew it probably would be coming back up. This is the only meal I had all day. Around 1AM 12/10/11, I began to feel the need to vomit. I was running, as fast as I could considering my condition, to the rest room ever 30 - 45 minutes, vomiting, belching and having severe diarrhea (all at the same time) for the next few hours. Once I had pretty much evacuated my system of any foods and liquids, I was able to go to the ER at Southern Maryland Hospital Center. There I was given IV fluids and an anti-nausea shot. The physical stress did not affect my child who was born 5 days later. My husband and daughter did not have any signs of illness. I had no further incident once I was discharged from the ER. I drank clear fluids and ate toast & crackers for the remainder of the day.



When I spoke to a manager at IHOP, he brushed me off stating "We cook a lot of eggs and a lot of those omelets so I don't think you got food poisoning from us. I'll take your information anyway, but you didn't get it from us." All it takes is one bad egg or egg product or other food item, a contaminated utensil, or dirty hands to get sick. As I stated before, I eat this particular omelet all the time, my husband doesn't even bother asking what I want when we go to IHOP, he knows it is always the same thing. We have eaten at this location a handful of times over the past 2 years with no incident.



This is my statement to the best of my knowledge.
