Huddle House has some good tasting food at some great values, but a many of the echelons of management, including this one, have some serious political stigma. I can tell you for the record that Mike Ripley is one of the sorriest people, in and out of the workplace. Despite being the strongest talent in the establishment, I was always the one who was in trouble on a daily basis. I couldn't make waves with any of my co-workers, but if he had a problem with the way I was doing something, he would sure as silver call me out on it. He would actually cuss and dog me in front of customers, and he would never ever look back on it. Not only that, but one time he actually directed a co-worker to start a verbal fight with me in the parking lot as I was making my way to my car to go home. If you're asking me, his most basic voluntary and involuntary motor movements are considerably substandard to anything that is socially acceptable in real life. Most of the females that work there will complain that he touches them inappropriately. If you don't believe me, just go in there and talk to some of them, if you dare anyways. I guess he doesn't love that nasty wife of his too badly, the one that creates quite a few of the waves in the establishment. I also observed that there is one girl who works as a dishwasher, is grossly autistic, and that employees would take advantage of her on some of the odd jobs that are rightly theirs, because they are willing and allowed to. If they would do it to her and I ever allowed it, I am sure they would have done it to me. He does have a boss who is the owner, but that man never gave me his home number so he must not be too interested in what is really going on there. I guess Ripley has every key in the establishment until he either quits or dies. I dealt with the whole thing for well over a year until I was pushed to the limit, and then I realized I needed to walk away from it all before I did something that I would really regret. I don't know any corporate overseers who are interested in my story, either; of course I'm sure they still don't understand the demise of the Huddle House name. This is a shame if you consider that they have much better food than Waffle House. How is it that these companies respect the opinion of customers, but not the low-end assembly crew. Management is really not about being the big shot, but about team building. That is something that people like that people like him certainly don't get. No point in ever trying to tell him either. My family and I are getting closer to starvation, and I still won't consider ever fetching my old job back over there.

It is sad when you are just fed up with the ways things are going till you want to get fired. I have been with this business for more than 3 years and things just keep getting worse. It has gotten to the point where I just really dont care about being here because i sit back and see how others are treated different than some. I just feel so overwhelmed with stress till it is not funny. I will not quit though, they will have to fire me. If the store was ran by someone who treated all employess fairly then i would abide by all rules and work to my full potential just as i did 2 years ago. I literally get sick when i know i have to come to work. My time will be ending soon at this place and i cant wait, because the level of stress you get from being here is too much. I love my customers and the mojority of people I work with but i do not approve of the way it is ran so i refuse to bend over backwards when the rulrs are not enforced to everyone. The business itself is a very good business thar sells great food. How can you expect someone to do something that others just get away with, you can't. It is just too much for me at this time. I am just fed up with the nastiness, and when its left that way it is o.k. but with certain people we do not hear the end of it. Why chastise me about my nails but it is o.k. for your favorites to walk around with them. Why critize me about my shirt not being tucked in and others walk around and i dont here a word. just plain FED UP

I have been going to the Huddle House on Richland Ave.in Aiken for nine years, twice a day.This store needs to be cleaned up inside and out.The bathrooms are not kept cleaned, commodes are not working, floors are not being kept clean and the manager is never there on a regular basis.He is expecting one of is employees to order the food which is running out every week.In the mornings the resturant is so cold people have to wear coats to keep warm.I respectfully request the corporation check into this situation.This franchise is owned by Mr. Hall.

The parking lot looks like a cigarett dump the side walks are dirty.There is no need for a place to look like this.

PS.I do enjoy the food, service and friendship.Also some safety issues need to be addressed.
