I'm giving this place more credit than usual, just because people are hating on it for no reason. This is an Applebee's that's just like the other thousands across the country that are identical. Just because it isn't unique doesn't mean it's not good. It is the best place to eat dinner and have a few drinks in this part of town. Other that this Applebee's, there isn't a good restaurant that has a full bar in this part of town. The others are "family restaurants" or BBQ places with no healthy options and no booze. This Applebee's is a well-run franchise, the people that work there are friendly, there's plenty of parking and the food is good. Don't hate it just because you don't like the chain.
Review Source:Let me start off by saying that for the most part, I like Applebee's, just not
this one. Â One time the food will be good, the next time you go and order
the same thing, it's hard to tell it's the same thing. Â
The service is usually pretty bad, even when they aren't very busy.
There have been times a couple of years ago that their sanitation grade
had dropped to a B. Â Mostly, if I want to go to Applebee's, I go to Chili's in
Winston-Salem instead.
Since our fam is based in Lexington, we wanted a place to spontaneously have drinks on a saturday without having them drive to civilization....and um, next time - we'll do the drive.
The food was pretty ok, and our waitress was nice enough. Unfortunately, she may suffer from ADD because she was great in the beginning - then it was clear that she could not multitask to save her life. We had to beg someone to take our money for the bill so that we could leave. Waitress-pooh was MIA.
The drinks were weak (even for applebees), and the bartenders took their job way too serious. They were offended when asked if they carried ciroc or grey goose.
The upside is they have karaoke on Saturdays, and they serve until 2am. Even with their 1/2 price appetizers and cheap, cheap drinks...it was still a miss. I know that Lexington is a smaller town, but they do have stoplights and such.....jeez.
I am not a fan of Applebee's but since I work in Lexington, there really aren't too many places to go afterwork for a quick drink. Â I enjoyed the drink specials that they have, but the food can be better. I only ordered salsa and chips, but they want to charge you extra for salsa and they give you this big platter of chips with a small cup of salsa. Â Our waitress started off great, but as the evening went on, she got caught up talking to some "regular customers" that comes in all the time and her co workers.
Review Source:The experience you get when you eat at Applebee's Neighborhood Grill and Bar of Lexington is perhaps best described as Dickensian - You'll leave saying either "It was the best of meals" or "It was the worst of meals." Â Let's say you have a certain dish on a Friday evening and like it so much that you return the following Friday for the same meal. Â Unfortunately for you, the meal that you thought about all week long turns out to be a real disaster this time around. Â It's as if you've walked into another Applebee's chain by mistake. Â If you're lucky enough to eat there on the good days, you'll walk away a happy customer - the food, service, and overall experience will be quite satisfactory. Â But sooner or later this lack of consistency will rear its ugly head and ruin your night out at Applebee's Neighborhood Grill and Bar of Lexington.
