Rude employee
March 21, 2023

Just had lunch at Applebees. Last time ever for me at that restaurant. Food had zero flavor. Was served lukewarm. Should have been served hot. They totally forgot one person's meal. Only four people in our group. Waitress was trying, but cannot hold up the entire staff. Hostess was rude re seating us. Cannot make reservation, but cannot seat a group either. Hello!

Allows children at the bar? Wtf
August 6, 2023

When I go to a restaurant, its to relax, deflate from whatever. The last, and I Mean, the last thing I want is a kid at the bar! Wtf are they thinking, besides what is the parent thinking?! Seriously, what is wrong with you people?! The restaurant had plenty of room everywhere. Even the other couple across from us was making comments along with me and my boyfriend. I totally made the stupid mother feel uncomfortable. What kind of parenting is that?! I have six highly successful kids and it would be a cold day in hell before I would put one of them around a bar full of drinkers. Applebee's totally lost my respect today.

Won't be going there again.
February 5, 2023

Service was very poor. We had to keep asking our server for refills. Husband ordered all the shrimp, ribs or chix tenders with fries...that you can eat. He got shrimp, then asked for ribs, 2 ribs thatlooked like boneless chix wings...no fries came with. Then ask for chix tenders, 3 came back that looked like chix nuggets,again no fries.

If you are on the autism spectrum and/or have anxiety and you're looking for employment, I don't recommend applying to the Dawsonville, GA location. There is one employee with obviously bleached hair who might be very rude and disrespectful to just you (and no one else). Had me leave my shift early very stressed and in tears. If you know your worth and want to be seen as equal, please take this into consideration when job hunting. (you know it's one thing if a customer is rude to you, but if it's a coworker being rude to you, please don't be afraid to speak to your supervisor, or contact corporate)

We ate lunch at Applebees in Modesto, on December 20th, 2013. I ordered hot tea with lemon and honey. Didn't get a spoon to stir it with and had to ask twice for one. My husband ordered Black and Blue Cheese Burger. The bun was burned and too small for the burger. I looked like someone had smashed it flat. It was served with about 8 french fries. I ordered a Bacon Burger. Again the bun was burned. I was also served about 8 french fries. The taste of the food was great. The portions were very small and we have noticed this in the last three trips to the restuarant. We won't be coming back.

My daughter and I ordered fiesta lime chicken. It was the worst dish I had ever seen. I don't know why the quality of Applebee's has gone down so much. Will not go there again.

This is a salad?
May 3, 2015

Went to the Applebees in Costanera Center, located on the 5th floor. Was in the mood for a salad, so ordered the Oriental Chicken Salad. The picture of this dish looked very nice. Salad shown was in a bowl and looked delicious. When the salad came, it was on a flat plate, it had iceberg lettuce, some small pieces of cabbage and carrot and six to eight small pieces of breaded chicken, which look like they were cut from chicken fingers. There was no dressing on the salad, I was brought olive oil and balsamic vinegar to pour on to the salad, Whoever heard of that type of salad dressing for an Oriental Salad? It should have come with a nice Asian style dressing. The only thing oriental was the little bag of crispy noodle strips that I could on top of the salad. The price I paid was way out of line for what I received. I would never think of going back to this restaurant again.

Whenever I order on line and go to pickup they don't bring my order out, I always have to go
In and get it. I don't think employees watch very good for people pulling up to pick up spots...

The worst Applebee's on Earth and I've been to over 50 of them. Any good reviews has to be their friends. Mark with the big beard glasses at the time is a liar and disgrace. Dirty as he looks he is. Food tastes horrible and he is a liar. Promises us the rewards card on two different occasions and then not providing it. Then promising us tonight he's going to come back with it refuses to come back and tells the waiter fool Chris to tell us he's stuck in the back lying to us on top of it. The manager Greg rude sarcastic and dirty looking etcetera. There's nothing good about them or this location, silverware, glasses, bathrooms dirty, etcetera. The place is dirty and ran by incompetent buffoons.

Not what I expected
November 18, 2023

My husband and I went to a Applebee's and Riverdale in Utah last night, we set up to the bar and ordered our food. Our food was delivered. 15 minutes later, but my husband's steak was a little the potatoes were cold and the broccoli was cold, and had no seasoning. My combo platter nothing was warm. My cheese sticks were hard and my honey buffalo wings were cold and hard. Not what I was expecting not for the price. I'd rather have a big Mac from McDonald's than what we ate. My husband would not let me send it back, he did not eat his potatoes or broccoli and only had a couple of bites of steak. So disappointed.

Great service
December 8, 2023

I stopped in after work, because I didn't feel like cooking for myself. I had Nacoshia as a waitress. She was really nice and on top of refilling my drink. The app was really tasty. My 3 cheese pasta was nice and hot

After being on the road for a couple of days I stopped at applebee's in Tifton Georgia *******. They served me the best steak to the point, with onions and mushrooms still boiling. The mashed potatoes were out of this world. They tasted like homemade. The price was excellent. Please keep the good customer service and good tips will continue to come in. Definitely recommended.

Poor Service
September 9, 2023

Went to Apple Bees in Hickory NC and the service was not good at all. The waitress took our drink orders and said she would be back to take our food order. Waited 30 minutes and no one even acknowledged my friend and I …. Not again will I eat at this location. There was plenty of dirty tables as well.

All you can eat
August 22, 2023

The all you can eat is bogus, my husband and I went to enjoy ans the waitress literally made sure we were finished eating what we had on our plate before ordering us more. We literally had to wait at least 15 between getting more. Who wants to deal with that!? We might return some day

Great Server
February 26, 2023

I'm currently at Applebees Allstate Rd Dorchester with a friend and I must be honest the food is great! I had a minor prob and immediately the server got it resolved. Our server I believe is a young man named Franklin B he's pretty polite and people oriented. Magnificent customer service. I'll definitely visit again with my clients, friends, and family.

Didn't even get seated
September 4, 2023

The sign on the door said they only had two servers & it would be about a 30 min wait, no big deal it's just my wife & I and were not in a hurry. Once inside he explained the same thing & that would be fine, he started to write out names down so we could wait, I asked if we could be seated, he said no one could even get us water, so I asked if we could sit at the bar, he explained that no one could get us a drink without waiting. There were only about 25 people in the entire place. Applebee's should close the doors, my son said a year ago he waited 45 min before being waited on, said he would never go again. This business is just wasting energy, close the doors.

No service
July 23, 2021

Stopped at Glasgow KY Applebee's for dinner. Had my wife and 4 of our grandkids. We were seated but left after 20 minutes since no waiter/waitress took our order. Several passed our table but didn't recognize us as being there. Poorest service we have ever received.
