Just pretty bad. About a year ago we went here, we got the waitress who must have been a local celebrity because she chatted with everyone. But us. She took our order and she was gone. Saw her again when she brought us the bill. I just wanted to leave but it took her 20 MINUTES to take my boyfriend's card. She was too busy chatting with the next table over.
Tonight we tried going here again. I was told if I ordered a special beer or margarita I could get free chips and salsa. I ordered a pomegranate martini and she hmmed and hawed because it wasnt on the list of "specials". But she said "yea I think we can do that". They brought me a margarita from the special menu instead of what I asked for but I didn't get any chips or salsa plus the drink was full price! She was attentive to every table but ours till we got the bill. The other waitresses weren't very personable either. I guess that's why they work at Applebees though. My boyfriend and I made a pact to never go back, no matter how desperate we are for a cheap date night.
Typical Applebee's. Â Only thing holding this one back from a 3 star or better review was our server. Â Saw her briefly to take our order and bring our drinks, then never saw her again until the bill came. Â Meanwhile my drink sat empty on the table half way through my meal. Â Can't imagine what could have kept her that busy on a night when we walked in and were seated right away. Â Though maybe that's exactly why the place was half empty.
