Other locations under investigation include one location in Lima, one in Findlay and one in Evansville, Indiana.

The franchise locations are all owned by the same private company, an IHOP spokesperson confirms.

23. Sunday morning I did a full stack, Uncle J. - at the local greazy spoon, not IHOP

The cakes were ok, but the syrup - hmmm -- was like mainlining HFCS. That was dumb. There is no substitute for real Maple Syrup. None whatsoever. How many times must a man learn the basic lessons of life?

25. You can always bring your own syrup when heading to a place whose syrup supply may be suspect.

I avoided a place only this weekend because I didn't trust their syrup.

Never thought of bringing my own, just in case.

12. Imagine being an employee met by this

Travis Noe, assistant manager of the restaurant, said agents with badges and guns arrived shortly after 6 a.m. He said the agents told him to stay still and allow them to search the place and gave no details on why they were searching the restaurant. After taking out boxes, the agents left about 10:30 a.m.

Nathaniel Coachman, who also works at the IHOP on West Central, said he was ordered immediately to put his hands up in the air when he reported for work Tuesday morning.

“I walked through the door and I thought I was going downtown,” he said.

Waffle House index: How breakfast signals storm damage
Waffle House index is green? The area's fairly well off. Waffle House index is red? It needs emergency help, says FEMA head Craig Fugate.
