The cigarette smoke hits u right when u walk in. Food is bad. I was served a very burnt piece of fish, manager did not bother to come over and say anything. Oh well did not expect much either. I live very close & will not be back. They can cater to the bar/cigarette smokers if they like.
Review Source:Honestly, I've always called it Crapplebee's - and this location epitomized that. The service was meh, not fantastic not terrible. My complaints with that are that it took forever to bring us the check (after we said we were done) and then forever to get my card back to me.
The food really seemed like it was all frozen. The mozzarella sticks I think I could have made better myself at home from the kind you buy in the freezer section. They were just underdone. I could live with that if it was the worst thing.
Then was my salad. I ordered a Caesar salad with my meal, and it was not correct (see photo) the dressing should coat the lettuce, not be drizzled on, there wasn't much cheese and the croutons seemed like they could come from a box from the store. They weren't made there for sure.
I had Napa Chicken and Portobello Mushroom, and its supposed to come with this lovely grilled veggies, which it did - but they really looked like a pile of crap on my plate. It didn't look appetizing at all, and sad to say didn't have much flavor as if all the veggies were frozen. Except maybe the zucchini, which was under cooked. Surprisingly the chicken was ok.
My friend had Lemon Shrimp Fettuccine, and he said the sauce was really heavy and didn't have a good flavor. He said the shrimp did have a good flavor, and he ate all of those. But overall it wasn't really good, and he didn't take the leftovers home. - Well neither did I!
I have to tell you that I won't be going back here again, not to this one for sure, and really this might have just been the last time ever. I've had Applebee's befroe and it was ok, but this was just gross.
The only things this place has going for it is the cheap drinks. But other than that you are just walking into an overpriced smoke filled basement. Â If the parking lot has some shady individuals looking for change. I don't know but if your in the area and crave a cheap drink. This place will fill your lust just make sure you have the lungs for it.
Review Source:It's been 5 years since I ate at Applebee's...at all. They still haven't lost their touch. I came with a friend and ordered the 2 for $20 deal. My highest recommendation would be to get the Sirloin Steak (7 or 9oz). Literally melts in your mouth at first bite...and thensome.There was also friendly service, perfect seating...what else is there to say?
Review Source:Stopped in for a quick dinner after a long day at work. Â Service and food was good- my waitress was rather peppy and friendly considering her dark and dingy surroundings. Â I had the shrimp lemon fettuccine for dinner and it was actually really good. Â Plenty of shrimp and the lemon sauce and veggies were great. Â
The downside was the overall cleanliness and appearance of the restaurant. Â It just seemed like the whole place could use a face lift. Â Also, there is smoking in this location. Â People can only smoke in the bar but the dining area I was in was actually elevated from the bar so smoke was wafting over to me.
This Applebee's is  terrible.  We ordered the 2 for $20, which, as other people have said, is a good deal. Unless, of course, all of your food arrives at the same time so that either your queso congeals or your Cajun chicken/ shrimp gets cold.  Not that it actually mattered- some of my chicken was literally burnt to my skillet, there was no Cajun spice, and the 'sauteed onions and mushrooms' was a few bits of barely cooked onion and one very small, very overcooked bit of mushroom. (How did they cook them together and overcook one and undercook the other?!)
But the food was great compared to the service. Â First, the hostess brings out our appetizers and meals and seems completely confused that we're annoyed to get them both at once. Â Then our server comes over, and upon being told we're never coming back, goes to get the manager.
That's where things got ridiculous. Â He promised to comp our appetizer and get us dessert on the house. Â Only when we got our bill, we found out he hadn't. Â We only ordered dessert because it was free, so we paid for queso we barely got to eat (we picked our main dish first and it congealed) and desserts we were promised would be on the house.
I'm not a food snob at all- I was only recently a poor college student, Applebee's and Chili's are a step up from Taco Bell, after all. Â So I don't expect much. Â Don't burn it, don't give it to me raw, don't lie to me about what I'm paying for, and we're good. Â But all of those things happened. (I forgot to mention- that brownie we only got because it was supposed to be free? Was brownie batter, shaped into a triangle. Â We'd gotten the 'free' dessert to go, so when we got home we took one bite and threw it away so we wouldn't get salmonella)
This Applebee's is routinely terrible in all categories. The food is always cold, very slow service and the management is seemingly preoccupied with management stuff that isn't customer focused.
My LAST experience there was not surprising. Â We ordered chips and cheese dip. Â It was never brought out until we told them nevermind and then it was cold. Â Not room temperature but cold. Â The manager was using a broom to sweep the ceiling tiles only 10 or 15 feet from our table. DST was flying everywhere.
On a previous visit we didn't see our waitress for almost 30 minutes. Turns out they were having a team meeting in the back. This was at the dinner service hour of 6pm!
There is an Outback across the parking lot and a Chilies around the corner. Go there instead. You will have a much better experience.
My friends and I came here after we left Hooters because this place closes at 2am. They all got drinks. A friend of mine ordered a Jack & coke- it tasted kinda off to him, but he didn't say anything until the bill came. The waiter failed to mention that they don't serve coke products, but instead pepsi- so my friend was actually drinking a Jack & pepsi.
I got their tomato soup-good, but nothing special. And ordered chocolate mousse shooter- one of my favorite dessert! The perfect amount of chocolate that satisfied my sweet tooth.
Mmmmm! Great food here! Now, the service is a different story. Not that they're bad, it just depends on which shift of people you get when you go in. Mostly at night is when service really lags but this is because they're busier at night than in the day. This is a real hotspot in Irving I've noticed. All there food is mmmm moderately priced, really it just depends on what your going to get. However I do think the invention of the "2 for 20" idea is genius! Where else are you going to get two full meals AND an appetizer for $20? I think not. Really good atmosphere to just relax and have a beer watch the tube, or take your kid out for that A he got on his report card.
Review Source:I've been here several times before concerts at the Verizon Theatre. It's Applebee's, so you know what you're getting - pretty decent food and drink options for the price. I'm a fan of the 2 for $20 deal. I give this location kudos for having friendly and typically efficient service. I do wish they'd ditch Ziegenbock on tap in favor of Shiner or Rahr.
Review Source:OK meal and Good service!
So i found myself on the south side of Irving absolutely starving. Brother had just gotten off work and so we decided to go out to the neighborhood Applebee's, it was close. We walked right in and was seated. Our waitress was really great. Nonchalant but offered great service. They always have awesome drink specials. 1.50 beers and margaritas? Shut Up I'll take two ;)
I ordered the Shrimp N' Parmesan Sirloin that came with mash potatoes and mixed vegetables. I mean, it's no Chamberlains' but for $12 bucks who can complain, not I. Sirloin was good, mash potatoes were not. My brother ordered loaded mash potatoes, when they came out, they were not loaded. But the waitress who again was lovely, did the right thing and offered him to take it back and redo it or bring extra, before my brother could open his mouth, she said "I'll just bring you extra". Free food is awesometastic.
I wouldn't run back and to this Applebee's but if your in the neighborhood, it'll meet the need.
YUCK! I wasn't aware that people still eat at Applebee's. Went there last week sometime in response to their 2 for 20 deal. Very underwhelming. I was reminded of why I stopped eating Applebee's and lower end chain restaraunt food to begin with. My stomach started hurting upon my first dip into my queso. The queso was cold; but served in a skillet....oxymoronic. Very displeasing experience. I hate Applebee's and they are not necessarily vegetarian friendly.
