Applebee’s

I am a regular here and have been for years for a reason! Love the food and the service. Burger Mondays are great!

absolutely awful. never again. my husbands pasta was old& room temp. my grilled chicken was cold, dry and tasteless it was severed with crandberries, green apple and candied pecans it was terrible. my kids who normally eat anything wouldnt touch their «pizza» and their broccoli wreaked i could smell it across the table.

Smallish burgers. We had the All Day Brunch Burger and the Swiss Mushroom Burger. Both were just okay. We agreed next time we want burger night we will go to Whataburger.

Had to reorder our steak twice… both times it was over done. The service was slow because they were short on their waitstaff during lunch. We came out for a work lunch that took about an hour and a half. The positive is that the burgers were done as requested and the fries were crispy and the sweet tea was sweet.

Ordered 2 separate steaks of which both were the worst we can ever remember eating. The peppercorn crusted steak was cooked well done when ordered medium and the quality was not very good. My steak the Bourbon was ordered medium rare and was cooked medium well and was as tough as shoe leather. We informed waitress and they could have cared less and the manager avoided coming by the table. In the end I had less than a ¹⁄₃ of my steak and feed the rest to my dog. Overall I am sure this is not the worst restaurant we have ever been to but my wife and I could not remember a worst meal.

Worst food I’ve ever received at a restaurant. I was on a time crunch and stopped at the closest restaurant with an empty parking lot. Let’s just say it was empty for a reason. The quality was sub par to what I feed my dog. Tasted microwaved. If you’re considering eating here do yourself a favor and drive to the nearest petco, buy a bag of blue buffalo dog food, and enjoy a scoop. I guarantee it’s healthier, better quality, and probably tastier than anything you’ll be receiving at the 1604 Applebee’s. Seriously. Who puts a craft single on a BLT and doesn’t bother melting the cheese on an order of nachos? Applebee’s, that’s who.

Saturday night is Kaoroke night. The waiter Geoffrey was great, the food was good and the entertainment was… well entertaining!
Good fun for all.

With all the restaurant options available, why are you even researching Applebee’s?
Like microwaved food? Then this is your place. Just re-​gift that Applebee’s gift card you got at the white elephant work Christmas party.

Great service, great atmosphere, prompt delivery of appetizer and entrees arrived just in time, not too early and not before we were stuff from appetizer. Fish and chips were cooked to perfection, I forgot to ask for sweet potato fries but the regular fries were surprisingly nice. Husband got the cowboy burger and sweet potato fries. Burger was cooked to perfection and I snuck a fry and it was fantastic!

Literally just walked out. Came out with the family and decided something easy and cheap. We were seated promptly and thats about as far as the good service went. We waited 10 minutes and no one even came up. No idea who our waitress/​waiter was. Horrible services as many walked by and not one said anything. We never be back. LONG LIVE CHILI’S!

My family and I had a wonderful experience!!! Our server was Josh and he did an awesome job serving us. He is an honest person as he ran out and brought is our son’s Nintendo DS he left.

Never Ever Eat at this AppleBee’s! If it were possible to give Zero stars, i absolutely would. This was the worst experience i have ever had at a chain restaurant! I haven’t been to an AppleBee’s in years and this has cured me of any desire to return. Im not usually one for rants and raves on Unilocal,however, this is the first time I’ve felt compelled to write a review out of spite.
Pros None
Cons Terribly Slow & Bad Service
Inept Management (shame on you General Manager Larry)
Poor Food Quality

We were looking for a simple dinner, something easy, not too pricy and has a good selection. Since we were in the area we decided to stop by AppleBee’s and give it a try. Neither of us had been to an AppleBee’s in a very long time so we were «new bees».
The place was pretty empty (i now know why) so we were sat promptly. But, our waitress was nowhere to be found, 5 minutes… 10 minutes… After a while Ashley J decided to grace us with her presence, took our drink order and disappeared again, reappeared for a second and then poof shes gone, finally we saw her and she managed to take our food order… …we waited … And Waited… O look there she is, right behind us, talking to the people at the table, exchanging photos from their cell phones, talking politics… Thats nice…
Somewhere in there she slipped away to grab us a luke warm, queso appetizer with no chips, then more than 20 minutes later still no side salad (they all start giggling at the table behind us, shes still talking, we still have no food). Finally our meal comes out, our salads came with our food which was cold, missing a side we ordered, and came with an extremely overcooked steak!
Ashley decided to clear the appetizer we couldn’t finish because we weren’t given enough chips… without even asking. Didn’t apologize for the food being late, didn’t recognize that the steak ordered medium looked like dog food, didn’t ask us if everything was right. Terrible terrible!
We had the steak re-​fired, which was a mistake, it took forever and the second time around was sooo over seasoned with salt, black pepper and a cayenne that i couldn’t eat it. When we got the pasta dish back, it had much less pasta in it then it did the first time around and everything except for the disgusting steak was cold.
Fed up, we just wanted to leave and it took another 10 minutes for us to get the flippen check. We paid and ran away from this awful restaurant as quickly as we could.
So upset at the experience i decided to call and speak to the manger! He was as useless and unapologetic as his staff. Larry told us that we should have told him while we were there, except where were you Larry?! He had little excuse as even he mentioned they were slow today. However, he offered for us to come back and he’ll take care of us if we did (ummm, thanks but no thanks Larry).

The servers at lunch seem to be consistently good. However the dinner servers are not as attentive. On our last visit we waited 15 minutes just to speak to our server and give our drink orders. I was about to walk out when he finally came over to us. No apology for the wait either. Although I must say, he kept our cups filled with tea. Maybe he was having a bad night, maybe he needs to learn that just keeping the cups filled will not make happy customers. It’s also about attitude and not ignoring your guests.
Food is not always consistent either. It’s usually prepared well, but I never know if I am going to get the roasted/​fried potatoes or the steamed/​boiled potatoes as my side. I guess I will have to start asking for one or the other so I can know what to expect.
We might try it out one more time, or not. There’s lots of other places out there to eat.

In the three times I’ve been here, service has been slow and the food is mediocre at best. The booths are worn down so not only does it feel like I’m sitting in a ditch, but the table almost touches my chin. On my last visit, we waited 40 minutes for our food and 20 minutes for our check (after the server said he would get it). He never apologized for the awful service (the restaurant wasn’t crowded and other tables were seated, served, and closed while we waited for food) and the manager showed no concern about our complaints. I’m done with this place.

Applebee’s will always get four stars. why? Consistency. I’ve been to a billion Applebee’s and they’re always the same.
Best part of Applebee’s? Cold beer. Worst part of this Applebee’s? The bar isn’t the nicest of their locations. It’s kind of dark and kind of feels like the place you spend your final days before your liver finally gives up.
Perhaps it’s where I’ll go to curl up into an alcohol induced coma when I feel I’ve served my time on this planet. Then again, maybe I’ll go put with a band and eat as many appetizer samplers as I can and go for a food induced coma instead. I’ve got a long time before I go, so I’ll have to think about it for awhile.
