Pass this one by. Slow service as employees more concerned about their cell phones. Food less than stellar.

Went back to Applebee’s twice recently. The food was pretty good this time. I had the steak with stout gravy and enjoyed it Things were up to snuff. My wife had the chicken with gravy and thought it was okay. The tequila lime is still the dish she prefers. The last time I had the fish and chips and substituted a salad for the coleslaw. The coleslaw here is not the best. The salads was crisp but had a lot of the white spines from the head of lettuce in it. My wife had the tequila lime chicken and said it was good. It is to bad when this is about the only game in town. Much prefer to take the trip to Des Moines where the competition is stiffer and a restaurant won’t survive with bad food and service.

Iced tea served with a dirty spoon. No refills offered during the entire meal. Bourbon Street steak was overcooked. I ordered Medium and got well done. Sautéed onions and mushrooms were completely raw. Do yourself a favor and eat somewhere else!

This place is a joke. A waitress used the F word because somebody wanted a high chair. My meal was wrong, which happens. I was polite and sent it back. All they did was remove the meat and returned it. I had to return it again. They admitted to what they did and said the cook ate the part I didn’t want. The majority of the staff has an attitude.

I read all these reviews before I went hoping for a better outcome. It was NOT. First off it took forever to get our drinks. Then while my husband was in the bathroom an employee was in the stall next to him on his knees infront of the toilet barefooted! Our food was cold and bland. Horrible experience. We are from KC and this type of service is absolutely unheard of.

If it was possible to give this nasty place no stars I would have. As a person who travels for work you expect chains to be about the same. Curb side to go no tableware or napkins. Cheeseburgers was almost rare on one side and well done on the other. Worst of all I left a $ 4.00 tip for food that was not fit for my dogs back home

I went there the Tuesday before Christmas. It was about 10−1030pm. I witnessed 2 waitresses using profanity at 3 highschool aged boys saying they needed to tip 20%. They said you guys never tip worth a sh.t. They also said something about starving a baby by not tipping 20%. After seeing this we opted for Legends across the street.

The hostess was sitting at the bar when we arrived, she finally glanced up and saw is. She came up to us and said«Wadaya want» I have never been greeted like that before. We were shown to a booth, the table behind us was engaged in a long loud conversation with the waiter. We couldn’t hear each other and we were at a two top . I don’t want to have to shout at dinner. This is the second time I have encountered bad service here. Won’t be back.

Only time we eat here is when we have a gift card. I can microwave a steak at home. And the ribs are nasty.

This is an unusually good Applebee’s! There was a 10 year span when I first went to this place till the second time. Hey! I haven’t had a work order to go to this town in 10 years i’m not going to drive 6 hours to eat at an Applebee’s! One thing I did remember from all that time ago the food at this Applebee’s is better than any other Applebee’s I’ve ever been to. I’ve been to a lot of Applebee’s. Why? There are a lot of them in the Midwest, they are open late, The food is usually 3 star and thats good enough when I have job that might go 14 hours in a day I don’t want to explore for a new restaurant. So if you in the same boat as me when your in this town go here.
