Come hungry, leave fearing your safety.

An IHOP waitress was arrested Friday for menacing customers with a steak knife at the restaurant in Massapequa, New York.

Police said that waitress Rhonda Kelly threatened a couple who were eating at the establishment with their two special needs kids.

According to NBC, the couple had complained to a manager about poor service.

The manager asked them to leave, but as they were going, they claim an employee made a comment about their children’s disabilities.

That’s when they said an argument ensued and Kelly pulled out the steak knife.

Kelly was charged with second-degree menacing and released on a court appearance ticket.

“This was a situation that would be difficult for anyone to imagine and we wish the outcome had been different,” IHOP owner Camile Gnolfo said in a statement to NBC. Multiple employees reacted to what they viewed as an immediate threat to their personal safety.”
