Applebee’s

Lackluster food, average service. I’ve been a few times and there are better places in town. You can smoke inside, and to get to the bathrooms, you have to cross the smoking section, so I don’t take my kids there anymore. Overall, I’m not an Applebees fan anyways.

I’m not really a fan of Applebee’s in general but I have been to this location a few times and the service I got was outstanding every time the first time I went in was Veterans Day 2014 after a really bad experience in chillies in Mt pleaseant the staff at chillies treated me and my wife really bad see my review on them
But hands down best Applebee’s I have ever been in GREAT JOB

Regular Applebee’s with one big problem (in my opinion) it’s a smoke inside bar. Other than that is a just fine place. Nice bartender.

Ordered 3 sampler/​appetizer plate. Food was decent. Pot stickers ok; nachos w brisket excellent but meat sparse; pretzels over cooked but ok.
Wait service by Matt– excellent; funny and super attentive! Cool dude!
Hostess Moe (hope that’s right) equally as fun and friendly.
Offers full bar (In dry city) and smoking areas…
Thanks for hospitality!

To start off with all Apple Bee’s are not bad, But this restaurant needs some management, because i think it is ran by the incompetent employee’s. We were greeted by the hostess. and she had to wash a booth before we could be seated. So when we were seated the waitress asked what we wanted to drink I told her id have a double shot of tequila on the rocks with salt and lime and then i asked what she had on draft, her answer was, I don’t drink drink so i wouldn’t know, so i then asked for someone who would know, by then the hostess came by and she told me their draft items, i had to say «coors light» 3 times before the waitress understood. Their is nothing wrong with my speech and i do not talk with a lisp «LOL» Then my wife ordered drinks for the children witch again she had to repeat her self «WOW» and this is just for drinks no entrée’s or dinner ordering yet. She leaves and comes back and says she can not serve me drinks because my license would not scan even though it is plainly visible, they were to lazy to punch the numbers in. Oh! by the way I’m 53 with a full blown beard…“LOL” well we were disgusted by this time and choose to leave. So my advice to others is to not go to Apple Bees when in Mt Pleasant. Instead go to «Chili’s Grill And Bar 2403 S Jefferson Ave, Mt Pleasant, TX 75 455» and ask for «Tile» she’s a professional when it comes to people.

The only reason I gave 4 stars is the waiter forgot we ordered desert and cashed out our ticket. The food was good, very good, the ribs were excellent. We really wanted to try the s’mores churros though!!!

Worst experience ever in this place. I decided to have a beer, which turned into three over a three hour period, as I watched a world series game and reviewed notes for a state Board exam days away. I happened upon 2 young men I baby sat as children that were grown and decided to pick up the groups tab, which was around $ 50.00. I asked the bartender, who showed very little attention to me the whole time, for one last beer. I was then approached by the manager, a blonde with a ponytail, don’t remember her name. She informed me that because I was paying a tab with numerous drinks (which were 90% consumed by the young group) that I had to order food before I could be served another drink, EVEN THOUGH SHE ADMITTED KNOWING THEY WERE THE FORMER GROUPS DRINKS ON THE TAB. After I explained she was misunderstanding the legal stand she was making, that I own a restaurant, and I had not had enough to drink over a 3.5 for span to require to order the terrible food they serve, I was asked to leave and consider myself «BANNED FOR LIFE». WHAT A JOKE THIS PLACE IS. TERRIBLE FOOD, TERRIBLE SERVICE, BARTENDERS, INCOMPETENT MANAGEMENT THAT REFUSED TO GIVE ME THE OWNERS NAME OR NUMBER. To be banned from this place, should be considered a gift. Look elsewhere unless you know the bartender personally.

What can I say, it is a chain but the food and service have been consistently good. At least it has been every time I’m here. Nice that it’s next door to the Holiday Inn Express so I can just walk over.

If you are hungry (even starving) and determined to have Applebee’s, I suggest you pass on this one.
The first thing you smell when you walk in is cigarette smoke. Not pleasing in the least.
As usual, the waitress was trying to rush us through our meal. She insisted on taking our entrée order when bringing our salads. I asked specifically that she not turn in the entrée order until we finished out salads, as I am a chef myself and understand what heat lamps do to food.
When our entrees arrived I looked at it and saw that it had obviously been turned in immediately (though I asked not to do so) because it was beyond well done, and as dry as a piece of sand.
I was not going to eat crap like that so I sent it back and ate nothing at all.
I have been to Applebee’s three times and each time I realize why I simply hate this chain. This was the very worst of the three.
If you bound and determined to eat at this chain and are going West, wait until Greenville, and if going East, wait for Longview. If you want second rate food, you can get the same thing at Chili’s which I would give 2 stars. What you should do is try something that is not a «chain» and open your pallets to much better food.
I am surprised this place is still open.

Great food. Great service. Ask for Jacob as your server. Nikki, the manager, was checking on every table and being really friendly. Great job!

Have dined here frequently over the years and continues to go downhill. Poor service unless you actually sit at the bar which is smoking, typically out of menu items, and quality of food is inconsistent.

I ate here just before last Christmas since I was given a $ 20 gift card as a present by a co-​worker. This was the first time in 7 years that I had been back to this restaurant. I was hoping this experience was 100 percent better than the experience that I had in 2004. Still not what it should be. The waitress that served the table that consisted of me, my boss, and another co-​worker kind of knew what she was doing, but was strained by the nine other tables she was waiting on. It took too much time to get drink and food orders (near 30 minutes to get our food — kind of nuts when you are on your lunch break), to get drink refills, and so on. My boss and co-​worker split a 2 for $ 20 special. My co-​worker had a water with his meal and my boss had a sweet tea. When the ticket came, I noticed that the bill was higher than it should be. Asking for the ticket, found that the waitress had charged us for three drinks instead of two. At $ 2.29 each, this was something that was inexcusable. We just paid the bill, since it would have been another 20 minutes for incorrect bill to be corrected. I hope I don’t have to go back here — no matter who is paying! (Aside — I give two stars since the food was decent in taste, should have been bigger portions for what we paid.)

Happy hour was good
