Applebee’s

Needs new management, and servers. Took an hour 4 apps. Literally terrible…,.,(6)))$$ 78&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

While Applebee’s is never my first choice in general, it’s nice to just have some bar food and a drink once in a while with friends. They also have a very reasonable reverse happy hour starting at 9pm every night for half off apps.
That said, this particular location really has the worst service in recent times (and probably even longer than that based on prior reviews). I have gone 3 – 4 times over the past 3 months and just had really terrible service. Took 5 mins to get seated when hostess was at her station and no parties ahead of us– plenty of open tables btw. 10 mins to get greeted and water once seated. Trouble with the automated payment at checkout… the list goes on. While the food has always been ok, the service just plain needs improvement.
This is also a college joint for UNO, which makes sense with its close proximity to the school. May not be the atmosphere you desire for your late night dining.

This was my first time visiting this location. I ordered the sirloin with baked potato and the boneless chicken wings. The steak was cooked as ordered, the baked potato was good. The wings were a bit crunchy and were not warm in the middle.
My biggest beef is with the servers that were working this particular night. The bar tender apparently had her birthday tonight and she made it known that she was not happy about working. I also had to listen to another server complaining about another employee. I am not really into OPD (Other Peoples Drama), while trying to enjoy a my meal and catch a little of the game before I head into work.
My experience at other Applebees have always been positive. I have always had a soft spot for food service workers, it is tough work dealing with hungry people. This experience was a bit much for even me to take. I will not visit this location in the future

«I’ll get these to you eventually.» That’s the statement that prompted this review…
Wow has this location earned it’s lack of stars!
On our last visit when we came in, there were more than a dozen open tables, and yet we waited. And waited. When we were finally seated we waited some more for our waitress who, when she finally came by and took our drink order, said, and I quote, «I’ll get these to you eventually. They just gave me 3 tables at once.» Several minutes later we still didn’t have our drinks and decided to leave.
We’ve been to this location a few times and have had complaints with both the food and service before. This will be our last attempt at this location — convenience be darned.

The food is standard Applebees food, you know what you’re getting in to. It’s Applebees, not Omaha Prime.
The service is horrendous. I’ve been sat in sections for servers that haven’t even shown up yet. Our drinks are only ever right the first time, if they even get around to the second fill. Food has been left behind after being told they were getting the rest of it, never to return.
They’ve got one decent server, Antione (I think that’s how it’s spelled) is absolutely amazing, he’ll take care of you.
No one else at this restaurant seems to know what they’re doing.

Half-​off appetizers are great if you are poor like me. Great place to come when you have the nighttime munchies or to grab a beer and watch the game with your buddies.

Food was standard Applebee’s food. What really set this visit apart was the awful service. I had to ask for silverware, ask for app plates, never got drink refills, never got our app dishes prebussed before dinner plates came out, nothing was prebussed before we paid the check. The only thing he did right was offer to go boxes. David G was the server. I can get mediocre food at 20 other places near home, so I don’t think we will be back.

Third time trying Applebee’s in the past 30 days. Third fail. This time we actually got our food (unlike the last two trips) & we thought we were making progress. Sadly 4 out of 5 meals arrived lukewarm at best. Never did get our side dishes. Probably is a good place to come and get drinks. They seem to be able to deliver those just fine. Don’t come here if you or your party is hungry though. You will leave disappointed.

This place consistently has the worst service ever. It should not take an hour to get my food and then to have no update from the server. Also there has been no managers present. Avoid this location at all costs!

I am sorry to report that this place is going down-​hill fast. The restrooms were filthy and they smelled like urine. The walls were dirty. They have not been cleaned properly for some time for them to be this bad.
Our order taker was friendly, just not trained well. She had to prompted to bring appetizer plates, refills, and reminded for extra ice twice. She was slow with refills. I ordered for my partner and she still asked if we wanted separate checks. With trash in my salad plate, she asked if I was finished with it. COME ON!!!
The food. I have had better there. They charge you for healthier sides. I wanted a salad instead of fries, that was $ 2 more. When the salad came, it had a handful of lettuce, the rest was diced cucumber, onion, cheese, and croutons, certainly not worth a $ 2 up charge. AND… $ 2.39 for iced tea? I know the food cost price point on iced tea is next to nothing. Come on…
Although I know two of the managers, a few of the servers, this place is just not somewhere that we can spend our money at anymore.

They have 4 high chairs for the entire restaurant. 4!!! Obviously this creates issues… If you feel like pacing for 20 minutes with your toddler then stop by. Or just go across the street to any of the other nearby options. This was my first and last trip to this Applebee’s.

Dirty, unfriendly and got appetizer and food at same time, food was scattered across plate not served in a dish like other Applebee’s. Greasy fingerprints all over plate .Just hoping I don’t get sick now.

I’m surprised to see the reviews for this restaurant are so low. I take my family here a couple times a year. The services seems OK and we usually get in fairly quickly. I have not had any problems with the food, but then again we tend to get the chicken fingers for the kids and chicken Cesar salad for myself. So I haven’t tried many different food there.

Worst mix of ‘80s mix ever. Super cold in restaurant, and I‘m cold blooded. Waitress was friendly and on-​point.

I should‘ve found a local joint, not a chain restaurant.

Just had lunch here today. A lot of the reviews on this place are a few years old. Applebees is my new favorite place for a burger when i travel. The spicy bacon cheeseburger is great. Service was also very good and not hovering. I do think they skimp a little on the fries though. I would eat here again and probably will.

For microwaved food, it’s not as bad as it could be. Although I highly doubt it was ACTUALLY Tyler Florence microwaving my food in the kitchen.

C’mon. It’s Applebee’s. It sucks. What did you expect?

I think the food and songs are better on the TV commercials
