Applebee’s

While visiting our daughter on July 17, we were lucky to stop by here and receive service from Seth. He was such a remarkable server that I saved the receipt so I’d remember the date and be certain I had the right name. Our food, incidentally, was great. Seth, however, was outstanding.

I was passing through and couldn’t find a restaurant with less than a 25 min wait until I got to this Applebee’s…and I should have known why. I walked in on a Saturday night about 7pm with a couple waiting to be seated and 2 tables open. The host (Craig) is walking around slow like he’s lost and finally came after a few mins and asked each of us how many in the party (only 1 for me) and then he left. Another min or so he returns and seats the couple and then puts me on a waiting list with still 2 tables open and said it would be 5 mins. 20 mins later and 4 tables available I’m finally seated.
The waitress is friendly and does return to give me status on the order. From the time I walked in to the delivery of the food was exactly 1 hour (must be a promotional that they promise to delivery before the hour is up, maybe).
The lime chicken is average and served without the apple relish which the waitress warned when I ordered.
All in all, not an Applebee’s I would recommend.

Ok review time.
Restaurant environment: the staff spend most of there time socializing. When I have come in, the staff spend most of their time on cell phones or talking in groups by the stations. Some servers are nice but a majority of them seem to be passing time until there can get off work.
Most walk around with smiles and seem to be bothered if you need something.
Service: Mediocre. Bartenders are friendly but not the waitstaff.
Food: average at best, some dishes are decent but not everything.
With a competition in the area and Applebee’s having a diverse menu this place needs more of a management refit. Professionalize the staff and you will be better there.
Only come here if everywhere else is too busy.

Servers were good, food not so much. I ordered their garlic sirloin and got a steak that must have been left over from the previous day as it had sat in the marinade waaaaaaay too long. I refused it and the cook came out and explained why it was perfectly fine. I was sitting with a CIA trained chef of 30 years who told the cook what was wrong with the steak and why and he gave us an attitude. We refused it and the cooked another one that was delivered by the manager. This time cooked properly but drenched in so much garlic that it wiped out my palate for the rest of the day. The positive thing is neither steak was on the bill but still not worth stopping in to eat.
Far too many restaurants to choose from inI the area to bother eating here. Too bad I normally like their food and service.

Quick food and great service. Go 1 – 2 times a month and her always enjoyed my experience. The place seems to be remodeled inside and has been very busy the past few times we came by.

Staff is terrible they act like they could care less if you come back, steak was bland and incorrectly cooked i generally like Applebee’s but can honestly say i wont return to this one

This is probably the worst Applebees I’ve been to! The inside is dirty and old, doesn’t look like they even try to attempt to make it look decent. The service is terrible and wait times for food are long; We didn’t eat here for awhile but then tried it again last week and did the car-​side to go due to me being sick w/​pneumonia and wanting takeout; We got there parked in the designated car-​side area waited 15minutes no one came out; I called the restaurant and even told them I was out there. 10 more minutes no one came out. So I get out and walk inside to the bar, servers are walking past me just staring. When the girl at the bar finally comes over to me she said «yea you the one with the to go order here» and hands me the bill; I politely told her that I had been waiting outside for awhile and her response was «oh well we don’t have a lot of staff here today» The place had a total of 2 tables filled! They were not busy at all. She continued to be extremely rude and act as if I was interrupting her social hour with her «man friend» at the bar. Needless to say the order was incorrect and cold upon receiving it and I will not be going back to this location.

The food is inconsistently prepared and EXTREMELY caloric and fat-​laden. Atmosphere and location are less than desirable. Serving staff a little too comfortable and inattentive when the restaurant is slow.

Applebees is all over the US. Their Spinach Artichoke Dip is as expected. They have these mix and match dishes that where you can get a soup and sandwich for $ 6.
