Service was good,the food was not! The food didn't really taste like a burger, and fries should! Why can't anyone prepare food with flavor anymore!!
My experience is that I ordered shrimp and chicken breast mashed potatoes and I couldn't eat not even a quarter of my meal and then I asked for a container to go they were having problems with the go boxes and my whole 18.00 meal on the floor. Not happy with the to go box or didn't get a discount and expected me to take it after it hit the floor. Gross
My wife and kids and I visited Applebee's in Willmar on a relaxed Sunday night and really enjoyed our time there. The hostesses and server were very friendly. Our server, Kishaun, was great! Very helpful in explaining menu items, and he provided terrific service. We were impressed! I really enjoyed the quesadilla burger. Bravo!!
Applebees service has seriously gone downhill. We went at the end of May and didn’t have great service but it wasn’t terrible either. Waitress wasn’t super attentive and was generally slow.
However last night we went and had a pretty bad experience overall and we are to the point where we live equal distance from the hutch Applebees and that’s where we’ll be going from now on.
We got to Applebees around 5:30. It wasn’t extremely busy or anything either. The waitress was unfamiliar with the menu, drinks we ordered took an abnormal amount of time to get to the table, and one of the drinks was incorrect. We placed an order for appetizers, two were delivered to our table and when the third came out the food expo gal walked up to our table, looked at our waitress, and proceeded to bring our third appetizer to a different table (assuming it had to be ours because it came out within minutes of the other two appetizers, we then had to wait an extra 10 minutes for that third appetizer). On top of all of that, we literally never got our food. Our waitress didn’t come back to our table often to check drinks and such, and when she finally did come around 6:20 and we asked for our food, she said “I’m sure it’ll be here in a minute but I can go check” as if we were inconveniencing her. She came back and informed us her “tablet died” when she was putting in our order so there was a “technical difficulty” and our food didn’t get put into the system. That was pretty hard to believe being that she was using a regular POS system to put in our food, the same one she put everyone else’s food into. No other single table had that happen to them. She was a little apologetic and we decided we were going to pay for our drinks and leave. She then brought us our bills and the appetizers won’t even put in at the happy hour price. We weren’t offered a single discount, the manager never once came up to apologize or anything either.
Horribly slow! The restaurant wasn't even half full when we arrived. Took a good 10 minutes to get our drink order taken. Received our drinks then took another 15 minutes to get our order taken. We waited for our appetizers for over an hour before we ended up leaving. There were other tables that did the same.
Went to Applebee's today 10-2-23 and ordered the white queso and chips as an appetizer. It looked like they emptied the bottom crumbs out of the bag (see pic) and the queso was a bit cold and very runny. Our main courses were good but the queso and chips (crumbs) were disappointing. Service was also pretty slow for only have 10 customers at the time.
Josh was not only friendly and he suggested a wonderful drink. He made that drink perfectly. I think Josh deserves a raise for his amazing work at the bar. Thank you Josh for a wonderful experience!
12-6-24 Not sure why we went back to this place. Did curbside for their burger specials. There was nothing positive about this visit. Order was 15 minutes late at curbside, we went inside to get it. Wrong cheese, ordered cheddar and could see where they originally put american, wiped it off and stuck on pepper jack, dried out burgers, chunks of the burger just laying randomly in the box, dry cold and tough. My daughter also placed an order and her chicken filet was so dry she was trying not to choke. Maybe if there would have been more than a time sized amount of ranch that would have helped. The Pepsi was good, that's it. I'll stick to Culver's. I would like to talk to a manager.
Our visit a couple of weeks ago was not good. Half price appetizers were sold out, drinks were thick and syrupy, steak was gray and looked and tasted boiled. When we questioned the waiter he claimed medium rare doesn't get browned because of the shorter cook time. Simply not true. Turn up the grill temp to get a good sear. Just not impressed for the $180 we spent for 5 people
