IHOP and Applebees are slophouses
Once in a blue moon I chance a visit to these places and they never fail to consistently be filthy. Sticky tables, dirty plates and silver, nasty floors, roaches.
Any i have visited are the same as they've been for 30 years, in desperate need of remodel
IHOP has become a complete ripoff to boot
With all that debt, no capital, and consumer being more frugal and selective, DIN is DOA
