Best WLM Reviews

Those $1 drinks for the month of October are hands down the best!
Also happy hour prices are super budget friendly, they have lots of options.
I feel awful writing bad reviews... but I will start by saying the food was not the issue. The food is always good for the price.
The issues are with the all-you-can-eat boneless chicken wings. First, because everyone wants them, they take forever to make and be delivered to your table. Thus - your order is not even hot when it arrives.
Second, the service is horrendous - short staffed and stressed out. And because the waiters are so stressed, they have terrible attitudes flying around. Everyone there is probably doing the best they can. But they are not fully equipped with whatever it is they need to provide good service.
Third, as much as I understand restaurant turnover - you cannot rush paying customers out the door. It's just rude.
Fix this Applebee's! We want to come back.
The food is EXCELLENT here!
I ordered the Bourbon burger and let me tell you, I kid you not..
It was by far the best cheeseburger and quality of meat I have ever had,
HANDS DOWN!!
My mom had the half rack of baby back ribs and she said they were absolutely delicious!
The atmosphere is awesome and what a great place to come to for sports events!
The servers and everyone else that works there are very nice always smiling & attentive!
5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️’S out of 5!!
Came for some family time, and we were seated very quickly. Our server was incredibly nice, and our food arrived promptly.
Basic American food with a variety of choices for any pallet.
I've never had a "bad" experience at Applebee's, but on my last visit I experienced what I think Shaq might call "shrinkflation." I ordered a burger, with lettuce, tomato, pickles and onion. It came with plenty of lettuce, a slice of tomato slightly larger than a poker chip and one thinly sliced ring of onion. Upon closer examination, I found one slice of pickle, no larger than a quarter hiding under the tomato. What immediately came to mind is a quote from a pro football commentator/analyst, "Com'on, man." My server was great and brought me a few more pickles and two tiny rings of onion. I will say that the fries were good and the burger itself was great and cooked perfectly. Overall, I still have to say, "Com'on, man."
I was contacted by the manager, Arturo, and promised I’d receive something in the mail that I should use in returning to Appleby’s to give them another chance (yes, I gave him my mailing address). Well, nothing ever was received and even after I called Arturo back letting him know, especially because he told me to follow up, I never heard anything from him ever again.
Well, I can honestly say that I hardly ever give bad reviews, but here is one. They may have have a lack of servers or cooks, but when you advertise All You Can Eat Chicken Wings, you had better be prepared for the amount of customers you will get. The six of us ordered one meal each. It took an hour to get our meals and one meal NEVER came. The two that ordered the AYCE chicken…. it took 45 minutes to get their second orders. I also ordered one separate meal to go…. After waiting for 30 minutes, our server came over and said that she was told we cancelled that order, which we never had any conversation with anyone about. The meal that never came was then going to be prepared (which we took to go) and it would be comped. She was going to ask the manager if the second Togo order could be comped because of someone telling them we cancelled the order and had to wait yet another 30 minutes, but I guess the manager said no because we were charged for it. The food was decent, definitely nothing to brag about. My heart hurt for the servers because they were lost. Dishes were being served to the wrong tables (I know because our dishes were taken to elsewhere and others peoples dishes were brought to ours). Anyway I don’t think we’ll be back. 2.5 hours was way too long and everyone’s confusion was heartbreaking.
Wait time was a bit long. Think they were understaffed. Our waitress was new, but she did great! Good was excellent.
Food was good I finish the riblets and took some home. The drinks were ok they make them too sweet
