Adam Sandler Cracks Joke At Long Island IHOP Rejection

MANHASSET, NY — The restaurant rejection that went viral in a TikTok video might not ever have happened to Adam Sandler if he had considered a Sloppy Joe with the Lunch Lady, but on Tuesday the comedian laughed off the incident in a Tweet.

The 54-year-old comedian was seen in a viral TikTok video last week being turned away by a hostess at a Long Island International House of Pancakes. Sandler tweeted, “For the record, I only left IHOP because the nice woman told me the all-you-can-eat deal didn’t apply to the milkshakes.”

The former Saturday Night Live and “Happy Gilmore” star was apprised of a 30-minute wait at an IHOP in Manhasset by a hostess who did not recognize him, and then she posted the video on TikTok, garnering thousands of views.

Hostess Dayanna Rodas posted the video, which features security footage from the Northern Boulevard pancake house, with "Be a clown" by Osuna playing in the background, as well as a photo of herself in clown makeup, noting, "Not realizing its Adam Sandler and telling him it's a 30min wait and him ofc leaving bc hes not going to wait 30mins for IHOP," she said.

Rodas then asks the actor: "Pleaseee come back," in the video which quickly went viral, shocking her. "What?" she asked in another video with a story about the video as a backdrop.
