Applebee’s

I have not been to Applebees in a long time, and I was reminded why a few nights ago. I had a gift card from Christmas, so my boyfriend and I thought we would use it. The service was good, and we decided to get the two for $ 25 deal. The spinach dip we started with as an appetizer was good, but the chips were stale. I ordered ribs with a side of broccoli, and while the broccoli was good, the ribs were terrible. Overcooked and not enough sauce. I usually just older the oriental chicken rollup when I go there, and I won’t be straying from that order anymore when, or if, I go back.

The front so called hostess was very rude. I came in with three kids and she said you and three only. I said yes me and my kids would like a table. Her response oh where’s there mom I said married to some looser. Now could we please get a table. The food was good steak on the ²⁄₂₀ went up. That sux.

I normally wouldn’t review a «Family» restaurant like Appleby’s but my family including my granddaughter had a delightful dinner.
Jocelyn did a great job serving and the rest of the staff was very welcoming. The mgr even stopped by to thank us fir coming and make sure all was well.

Applebee’s USED to be excellent about a decade or more ago! Case in point: they used to have this delicious orange glazed salmon dish that they got rid of for some mediocre tasting, god forsaken artichoke salmon! The portions have considerably shrunk as well. Come on guys– give us a piece of salmon larger than a pack of cigarettes for chrissakes! Your adult salmon portion feels like a kid’s meal! What really ticks me off is that some of the servers never ask if my child needs a refill of soda– they just automatically bring it to the table. They should ASK the parents first, since many parents are trying to cut down on the amount of sugar their children imbibe! Many savvy parents will limit their children’s soda intake (and other foods and snacks), so their children don’t grow up to have the hind quarters of Kim Kardashian or Rosie O’Donnell! Lastly, everything is overpriced. I can get much larger portions of food, that taste better, at a diner or family restaurant! Why we still go here on occasion, I wish I knew. I was going to give a 2 star rating, but the ‘shooters’ and ‘pretzel bites’ desserts are delish!

Bad barmaid service from Amanda. Not the one who has been there for 9yrs. Only paid attention to the men, including her boss (of another job). Didnt ask about how my drink was (which are more than $ 12 each…) or make any conversation beyond my initial drink order. Not a busy time either. Just ridiculous. Last time I came I was helped by Kimberly, who is wonderful and attentive and the cooks made the best food (steaks!) id ever had at any applebees. But I will walk out if I ever see this Amanda barmaid again. Not even worth ordering food or a second drink.
I got a tip for her, pay attention. Be genuine. EARN your money! She should be embarrassed at her neglect of patrons. Especially when they’re unknowingly there often. Disappointing.
The Amanda who has been here for quite some time is personable, respectful & honest. Good worker. The company is lucky to have her.

My daughter ask for a fruit bowl instead of fries. The waitress brought over a bowl of fruit wedges from the bar. 2 pineapple wedges, 2 orange wedges, 2 maraschino cherries, & 2 apple balls, nice

I’m being super super super nice by giving this particular applebees an average «A-​OK» rating.
When you come visit this restaurant, your experience will be very hit-​or-​miss.
From what I’ve come to learn and see, when you visit when it’s mildly busy to super busy, the service is HORRIBLE. You get constant neglect and it takes the waitresses an average time of around 15 minutes for them to come back and check on you to see if you need any refills or would like your check.
It really just depends because on the other hand I’ve had a small few visits here where certain waitress’s were fantastic and very attentive.
The food is always usually pretty great no real complaints there.
This Apple bee’s just really needs to work on evaluating certain employees because for the most part, they suck here I won’t even sugarcoat it.

Fun, family friendly, place to eat. Food is good and there are many options. This is a great place for lunch too.

Love that they have a beer of the month and a drink of the day… plus you can’t go wrong with the two for $ 20

Cool atmosphere. Free wifi.
