Applebee's Grill + Bar

This food was surprisingly more delicious than I remember! We had an awesome waitress, who made recommendations for drinks and food, that we absolutely loved. I now remember why I used to love this place. I highly recommend the $3 drink specials!!

Will be back again soon!!!

Thank you Kanesa!!!

There is a video game called high on life that makes this joke about Applebee's as being like the basic bitch restaurant of the universe called 'space Applebee's' and it totally encapsulates my feeling on the chain.

Got a date you dont want to see again? Take them to Applebee's!
Too lazy to cook? Applebees!
Microwave broken? Applebees!

Just google 'applebees jokes and you'll see what i'm saying. Other restaurants dont have jokes like this probably about them do they? I'm surprised this location is around, they closed the fayetteville one down some time ago. The service here is a real toss up depending on the hiring cycle... they go through staff FAST. We've had all manner of experiences here... waitresses who have had nervous break downs and just disappeared. waitstaff that admittedly were getting high and forgot to come back to the table. All sorts of stuff

There's actually been a few dishes at Applebees that I really enjoyed but they kept having this annoying habit of taking them off the menu. Forget what they were (one was called "brewed something chicken" It's happened at least twice. Red Lobster does this too (Kung Pao Shrimp and Noodles)

Applebee's when ya go you wont be missed.

The waiting room is nice, we got to get very familiar with the red cushions in the front due to the amount of time we spent there.
"Few Minutes" = 30 minutes.

Our host kept making eye contact with us and ignoring cleaning a table when the restaurant was dang-near empty.

Went there for the endless wings, stayed because we already wasted enough time waiting for our table.

When we FINALLY got a table, we ended up ordering the 1$ margaritas. We were only able to get 4 margs in a span of 1 1/2 hours. I could've walked over to the liquor store and poured my own at that point.

Not to mention the real despicable part of the night, was when we went for the endless wings that were advertised, they said that we don't get to order that. Unacceptable.

Considering all the food is frozen (what it tasted like), maybe they just didn't have enough microwaves in the back to cook our food. Our server was cool, but dang did it take an absurd amount of time to get
the food. I'm hurt.

Applebees. I ate at your place when I was 7. No wonder I blocked out the taste of the food from my memory. How does one make a chicken bacon ranch taste like a piece of soggy cardboard, granted there is ranch on that piece of cardboard.

Writing this while my stomach feels like it has been given a punch to the gut, I feel guilty for having eaten here. I was betrayed. You are a monster Applebees.

Consider this your final warning.

Service was good!
The food was horrible!
We ordered two steaks that were very burnt and that's all you can taste.
The broccoli had no flavor tasted like it was placed in a microwave.
Mash potatoes was also had a horrible taste, how can you mess up mash potatoes?
Sweet tea is way to sweet especially for someone like me that loves sweet tea .
Ambiance not much to say

We got there before 6 on a Monday evening. There were three people behind the bar, "working". No one acknowledged us. A 4th person, who said he was off the clock, told us the wait would be at least 20 minutes, because there were only two servers working. After 30 minutes a server came over, she talked with her friend who got there after we did. She did not look at us. We have had poor service there, but never like this. We left and won't return.

I tried to call to talk to the manager, before leaving this review. I couldn't talk to a person, and the mailbox is full.

I had to select a rating, I couldn't leave 0 stars.

Walked in at 11:15 finally after waiting what seemed like a little bit, someone finally came up and said sorry sir we're closing I was like that's fine. I just wanna place a to go order. I'm sorry sir we're closing you're open till midnight, correct yes, so can I not place it to go order? No, sir, we're closing but it's 1128. The reception person informed me that no we're not take any more orders. Poor service.

It's been years sense we have been to an AppleBee's. Was not sure what to get but Christopher was nice enough to assure us that the fish was a great choice as well as the shrimp.
It was!!! Great drinks from the bar too. We will be back for sure.

We really liked the food, and everything was amazing but it bothered us how much the waiter was checking in on us I think he checked in over 6-8 times in one hour which we don't mind the little chanter back and forth but we were on a date. And wanted to talk with each other.

Another thing was we're both transgender men, obviously we look like women but having someone constantly reminding you you're a woman felt very uncomfortable. I get it once or twice is fine but every time being said "Hey ladies." We weren't too bothered by it though just we got a bit uncomfortable so we tried to just eat. We didn't correct him because the topic alone is iffy now a days because I didn't want to make it an awkward conversation.

I didn't mind the gossip I heard behind us since the two hosts were talking about genders and such it was fun to hear someone explain it. Everything else was amazing! The food, the drinks which I didn't realize a Shark Bowl was so big but ay more alcohol.

I had fun!

After church lunch 12/11/2022
If you like a well done but juicy steak, ask for Susan to cook it! I'm not used to getting my steak cooked the way I like it without sending it back to the kitchen.
Susan is the best!

Ordered the 4 cheese mac & cheese with honey pepper chicken tenders. it came out with just olive oil on the noodles and zero cheese on it. when we brought it up to the waitress she said thats how it's served and Offered to go get him some more cheese. she came out with cheese sauce which should have been on it in the first place. then the chicken tenders only had a drizzle of sauce over them. it was so sad. the pic clearly shows cheese on the Mac and cheese. service was slow. my husband had to do everything in his power not to eat as everyone else was finishing up their meal. the lady with us said the chicken tenders used to have sauce on them. hers had very little if any cheese too. really sad.
