Applebee’s

Road trip and looking for a place to stop and get some lunch while traveling between Tampa and Atlanta. Applebees seemed to be the consensus, so here we were. Service was a little slow, but drinks were refilled and the food did fill the hole, so while there was nothing to rave about, there was also nothing to really complain about.

Absolute worst Applebee’s I’ve ever been to. Service was slow. Didn’t get greeted for over 15 minutes even though another server kept walking pass us. The burger was way over cooked. When we talked to a manager he didn’t seem to care. The people sitting behind us were having problems too. With so many other restaurants to choose from, don’t waste your time here.

As soon as we walked in, there was no one to greet or seat us. A waitresses that had no idea where to take us, had to do it. It took 15 minutes just to get drinks. Our waitress was also bartending. It was very unorganized. The food was bearable. I won’t be back.

Out of desperation to find a patio off of I75 I decide to roll the dice and go to Applebee’s Bc the porch looked new and my baby is a holy terror inside. If I could give it two different reviews I would. One for the food which was excellent. Hot where it’s supposed to be, cold where it’s fresh and crispy, and flavored correctly. AND delivered in a timely fashion. So, 5 stars to the kitchen and if I hadn’t been with a 6 month old baby I probably would have made time to tip the kitchen, since there was no way in hell I was tipping anyone else in that place. The second review-​the 1 star is for the complete lack of service from start to finish at this sorry excuse for a restaurant. My husband and my 6 month baby get seated by a manager outside and the waiting begins. 3 people walk in and out past us, nothing. I go inside and stand back at the host stand for 5 minutes, not one person stops to speak to me, even the manager who sat us! I go to the bar and ask to order my food there. She says sure. So I order my food and drinks, serve them to myself, pay the full tab. Leave before anyone says another word to us. The manager walks right by the table and said nothing although she was 100%aware of the oversight. It was her who dropped the ball and didn’t tell anyone they had a table and she didn’t even make it right. So, 0 stars for 0 service

Where to start…15 minutes to get drinks…45 minutes to get food… food was awful. I wasn’t expecting gourmet as it is Applebee’s but palatable would have been nice. My sandwich was missing half of the menu toppings and was luke warm. my 4 y/​O had cold mac n cheese. I guess I deserve it since I should know better than go to a shixxy chain restaurant. Fritos back in the hotel were tasty though

Food was just ok chain restaurant style. A large group of loud ladies seemed to have the wait staff’s attention. Even had to ask for some silverware for the table, and just gave up on getting a few more napkins.

Did lunch the other day with friends at Applebee’s. I did the sweet potato fries with the chicken quesadilla and a lemon water. It was very tasty and plenty. The wait was only about 25 minutes. But was worth it. The waitress came to our table 4X’s. Please, let me eat. Didn’t stay for desert, maybe next time.

Rude service from this one server (black female, can’t remember her name). I came here twice on May 5, 2015 and May 9, 2015. Each time I came with the same friend. The server ONLY spoke to my friend. She only asked my friend if she needed a refill. She only asked my friend if she needed anything. She only asked my friend if everything was ok. I was TOTALLY ignored. It pissed me off when my friend and my drink were at the bottom with only ice cubes. This server came over and asked my friend «Would you like a refill?» She proceeded to refill her drink, looked at mine and never refilled my drink. I waited and had to ask another server for a refill. Then the same server who always ignored me, came back and asked my friend, «Do you need anything?» and totally ignored me. I was going to tell her that I needed something, but she turned her back to me and left. I was hoping that I would not get the same server the second time but I did unfortunately. She was extremely rude to me and treated me as if I were invisible on BOTH visits there. I will not come back to that Applebees again. Very poor customer service!

Ok, to start with, I should only blame myself for going to an Applebee’s in the first place. Now that’s out of the way, HOLY HELL! So it’s Friday night and I’m just leaving my job that crushes my soul on the daily. I’m also not 100% sure that I wasnt still hungover from the night before of drinking my self into oblivion whilst watching the ever increasing disappointment that was the UK General Election. But that another story for another site. So I walk into this «resuraunt» and find that, like Gremlins, you shouldnt fuck with them after midnight. This trying-​so-​hard-​to-​be-​hip-​and-​relevent establishment seemingly turns into a f*cking night club after 10pm. So I shake off the dead eyed hostess and sit at the bar like any grown adult. This is where things get hairy. I have 2 d*cks to the left of my scream to each other how great the end of the new Avengers movie was. I was planning on seeing this movie on my day off tomorrow but now I can save the 20 f*cking bucks since these c*nts ruined the ending. I order a 6 dollar 2 for 1 12oz draft (some deal huh?) and a half priced appetizer. It was bland and not at all what was represented in the menu. I choke down that deep fried boot that was placed in front of me and finished my two beers as fast as possible. All the while this is going on, I have 2 slack-​jawed mouth breathers to my right waxing poetic about their time touring with Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa. These two are probably about 25ish, white, and sound like the most hickish pecker woods you’d ever encounter in the deepest depths of of a Deliverance fever dream. Now it comes time to pay my tab and get the hell out of their and back to my home so I can drink in peace and quiet. The gruff (putting it nicely) bartender brings me my tab and the app is FULL GOD DAMN PRICE! She then proceeds to tell me that she put in a double order since they were half off anyway. There is one small problem with that… IT WASNT HER FUCKING CALL! She tries to argue the point but I wasnt drunk enough to care and threw down the 13 dollars I owed and got away from that hell hole of an establishment as fast as my chubby self could waddle. In closing, fuck this place.

Even a one star review is hard to give for this location. We have a favorite waitress but that’s about it. My friends and I occasionally go after work and if we don’t get our favorite waitress we have HORRIBLE service. The hostesses seem to hate their jobs, as do most people at this location. The food isn’t always horrible, but the bad service always outweighs the positives.

Well…
Have never just walked out of a restraint before, but did here. Simple order of wedge salad and a bowl of Chili never showed up. Waited for 35 – 40 minutes and gave up. Guess they weren’t impressed with my small order? Had to go somewhere I could get some food before it got too late. Never again at this place.

Seem to come here a lot lately. Always greeted with a smile and seated quickly. Servers are prompt and knowledgeable of the menu and drink selection.

Having lived I’m that area most of my life, we hardly ever went there to eat due to the service severely lacking and the food was always a long wait and never very good. So last weekend being back home, we ask decided to meet there, it had been remodeled so decided to give it another shot. Nope, nothing has changed. The server was lacking training, the food was terrible, plus a roach ran across our table. Fazolis down the road would have been a lot better and cheaper. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

This Apple Bees was just remodeled. It’s beautiful! Our waitress was amazing and made sure we were taken care of. It’s a clean and friendly atmosphere. I ordered the Three Cheese Chicken Penne Four Cheese Mac & Cheese. Glad we stopped in. The food was EXCELLENT! I could have used a wheel barrel to haul me out I ate so much!

When the waiter was asked how he was doing he said that the management was pissing him off. I was dinning with a child and found this extremely inappropriate. The plates were dirty that our food came out on, my sandwich the turkey bacon avocado had cold slimy old turkey on it. The kids chicken tenders were over cooked and almost burnt. Not good. Valdosta by far has the two worse Applebee’s I have ever eaten at.

One of the few places open. Staff was a bit rude.

Why would anyone come to Applebees in Valdosta?
An economist’s answer: «There are no better alternatives given the avaliable substitues.»
A foodie’s answer: «Man, this grilled jalapeño-​lime shrimp is bland and oversauced. Who would ever come here? Excuse me, single-​mother-​of-​two can I have my twelve bucks back?»
A Valdostan’s (likely) answer: «Cuz them wings is good and them Dawg’s is ‘awn y’all»
My answer: «Because Shock Top is two for one, my friends are two hours behind on our trip to the Keys, San Antonio is in the playoffs, and I am not lecherous enough to watch the game at the Hooters across the street.»
It’s not my neighborhood, but it’s neighborhood enough.

Let’s face it. You don’t go to Applebee’s because you’re craving an awesome meal. Food is mediocre at best and when you add tax and tip, you’re money is almost always better spent elsewhere.
That being said, if you can take advantage of the specials, it may be worth a visit. The deals vary depending on the location but you can expect there to be drink specials and deals on appetizers throughout the week. Monday night was 39 cent wing night with $ 5.99 domestic 50 oz pitchers. That’s $ 1.50 a beer – hard to beat. The traditional wings are a little dry but the boneless are pretty good. The rest of the week features ½ price apps after 10p and a bunch of ladies night specials on Wednesdays.
Service was pretty slow. Bartender seemed to know what he was doing.

WTF, right? A Unilocal review of an Applebee’s?
Bear with me!
I recently took a road trip from Chicago to Ft. Myers Beach, Florida and one of my overnight stops along the way was in Valdosta, Georgia. I’d been eating crappy drive through food for the entire trip and really just wanted someplace that had a bar I could sit down at, order a few cocktails and eat something that didn’t come out of a paper bag.
Hence, Applebee’s. It was right across the street from my hotel: uberconvienant after sitting behind the wheel of a car for 10 hours: and they had an open bar. Score!
Jeremy was my bartender. Can’t believe I remember his name? That’s how awesome he was. Friendly, but not overly so. Heavy handed, but in a respectable corporate owned restaurant kind of way. Generous, in a I’m gonna give you a second drink and not ring it on your check.
I don’t know if I’ll ever go there again, but only because I probably won’t ever be in Valdosta again… but if for some reason I ever had to go to Valdosta again, and needed a place to have a cocktail and chillax — well, I’d go visit Jeremy.
