Just ok. I checked in for the coupon but apparently you don't get it until later... I'm not such a fan that I would come again on my own. Â The food was fair, but portions were tiny and I left hungry, being unwilling to spend a lot on mediocre fare. Â Why would you sell a dessert-sized dish as an entree?! Â Also, you can't even sit in certain parts of this establishment unless EVERYONE at your table is over 21 -- even if you're not ordering drinks. Â How ridiculous is that?
Review Source:I used to like going to this applebees but not anymore it was disgusting and the waiter was a rude a-hole !! I don't know what happen to this place but i will never go back. The waiter wich was named ERIC made us feel like he was a racist prick, he attended other people very well but he never came once to our table to ask if everything was ok; but mind you the other people were in the table right next to us. we had to wave him down when we needed something. I had the worst experience there and also the cup was dirty like seriously applebees will lose alot of business if they continue hiring a-holes and continue not puting their customers first. This place is for sure out of my restaurant list.
Review Source:I promised I would never review a chain restaurant like this on Yelp - after all, you already know what to expect when you go to Olive Garden, TGI Fridays, etc.
But I stopped here for dinner on a long drive after Christmas and found that the service was so incredibly bad I had to give it a one star review. Waiting forever for service, followed by the order being put in wrong, no silverware to eat with, no refills on coffee, and then waiting forever to pay. Any of these are simply human mistakes that could happen to anyone, but the way the staff was completely unapologetic about making us wait forever for the wrong food was kind of crazy. Like so notably bad that someone like me who rarely gives bad reviews is writing one two weeks after the fact.
My turn! AWFUL!!!
People make a good point, saying you're not going for a 5star meal when you go to Applebee's...however, it would be nice if the food was edible!
My husband and I used to go to this Applebee's more than most other restaurants... it was our casual 'go to' restaurant. We stayed in for a few months and decided to go out to dinner one night and WOW were we surprised! I can't believe how awful our dinner was! It was long long ago so I don't remember exactly what was wrong or what we got... but it was bad enough to keep us away for over a year.
A few months ago we were in the area and decided to give it a shot. He got a burger.. thankfully he got a burger b/c its kinda hard to screw up a burger!! - They managed to burn the bun & give him wilted lettuce..I got the spinach and artichoke app. ... the spinach and artichoke dip was so burnt to the bowl that it was in (way to let me know it was microwaved!!) that I couldn't even eat it! And it was a terrifying un-natural shade of green. I tried to just pick on the chips but they were SO chewy and oily!! The ones that weren't chewy were soaked in oil and soggy!
Not to mention that we were one of about 3 other tables in there and still it was so slow we were in there for over 2 hours (2 hours for a microwaved meal!?)
I was so upset with our meal I actually took pictures and wrote to them from their website. Unfortunately I don't see how its possible that this place is still opened. I never like to see a place go out of business but if they don't get their act together this place won't make it!
Well, you get what you pay for. Came in for early dinner and while it was near empty service was slow. Appt plates were disgusting and had some weird film on them kinda like they were rinsed and not washed after last use.
Apps were no better than any frozen boxed item. Only sort of warm. At least they can't screw up beer. Â Oh btw see my picture for what they call servable celery stalk with buffalo wings.
Best deal is to expect not much and hope for better. Maybe just an app and a beer joint- dinner was very poor.
I 100% agree with the other reviewers... They should pay me to eat there. Ever since it opened about 8-10 years ago Applebees has had poor service and disgusting food. But once every 2 years or so I'll give in to the commercials that look so good and go there. Always to be disappointed.
Review Source:I, too, must join Jonathan in taking a dump on this establishment. Â I like a good chain restaurant occasionally. Â I'm not one of those "too cool for the room" jerk-offs who won't sully himself by going into a place frequented by the masses. Â When you're in the mood for a sandwich & a beer, a place like Applebees should be perfect. Â But the wife & I were disappointed with our most recent visit. Â To paraphrase the great Larry David, prettay prettay bad.
The hostess sat us right away, but we sat for 10 minutes before anyone stopped by our table. Â And that was with 4 employees chatting it up at the bar. Â Now, I used to wait tables. Â I even used to wait table for an Applebees down south (and perhaps free riblets had something to do with it).... so I understand the day to day life of a waiter. Â It's not like I'm expecting a server to run to my table and bow down. Â No, genuflecting is not necessary. Â But how about a "hey folks, be right with you" or some acknowledgement at all. Â A waitress finally told some guy within earshot of us that we were one of his tables and that he should go see us. Â The guy did, and you know, an apology would have made everything okay. Â I'm not talking a tearful apology a murderer gives the victim's family in court, but a simple "Sorry about the wait". Â Nothing.
The food wasn't too bad, and that's why I reluctantly gave it two stars. Â We asked for our dressings on the side for my Caesar Salad and her Oriental Salad with Grilled Chicken, and that's what we got. Â The portions were nice and big, the chicken was warm.... again, pretty good for what it was. Â But the service we got really kind of set the tone for our subpar dining experience.
So, to sum up, everyone knows you're not going to get a 5 star meal at Applebees. Â But you're not going to get 5-star service... hell, you're not getting 2 star service here.
Negative 12 stars. Crapplebee's is so insultingly awful, they should pay ME to eat there.
I once got the "spinach & artichoke dip" at this location. I have the item in quotes because they didn't serve me spinach & artichoke dip. They served me vomit in a casserole dish.
The food is so bad here that I would rather go to TGI Friday's, order every appetizer on the menu to go, leave them out on my porch for a week in 100 degree weather, then take all of it and put it in a blender, and have someone jam it up my nose.
The food is so bad here that I would rather take my chances in a cage with an alligator, a starving mountain lion, and a black mamba with only a salad fork to defend me, than take my chances with the cajun lime tilapia or confetti chicken.
The food is so bad here that if we sent it to starving kids in Ethiopia, not only would they not eat it, but they would send it back to us after taking a dump on it first.
Get the point yet?
