Best WLM Reviews

I have always found the staff here to be super friendly, some are a little more attentive than others but the service is generally good. I ordered the fish and chips. Our server stated the fish comes with fries, I wasn’t sure how to take that as I have a noticeable British accent. The fries were a little dry but the food was hot and fish was
good. The restaurant is also clean and well maintained.
Food was good and arrived quickly.. Steak was good. My garlic mashed potatoes could have had more garlic,but they were hot and tasty.

Went to early dinner. We were seated as fast as we entered the door. Ordered drinks. Ordered French Onion Soup and house salad. Wife were going to split them. Man if you like cheese on your French Onion soup, you are in luck. Cheese with every bite to the end of the bowl.
Ordered the 6oz sirloin meal. Looks like it was an 8oz made into a 6oz steak. Had a pizza ???? pie wedge cut out of it or just a weird cut. Broccoli was steamed a little to long... steak med rare. Got med rare. 12 Shrimp for a $1.00. Wife got the Honey pepper chicken with Mac & cheese. She said noodles were over cooked. In the pics, I was hungry. So all my food was hit before I took pics. Sorry.

Came in early for an early dinner. Daughter and her Beau had the all you eat boneless chicken wings.. I had the half a slab of ribs. Wife had French Onion Soup and the Bacon Ranch Crispy Chicken Sandwich. Everything was as ordered. Hot to the table. Everything was good. Server was was top of her game and kept drinks full and checked oftened enough, if we needed anything.

Kids brought their mother and I to restaurant for a Mothers Day Lunch.
The server was amazing. Very helpful and knowledgeable about everything on the menu. The food was ok. I had ribs and I thought the meat was a little bit tough. The broccoli was under Cooke to the point of it still being crunchy. The green beans could have been cooked a little longer as well. No matter how the food was I still enjoyed my time there.
We ordered some chips and salsa for an appetizer while we waited for our food. We finished the chips and almost all of the salsa (which wasn't great, basically a canned salsa product), and our server asked if we would like more chips and we said yes, please. When we asked for more salsa since we had another full plate of chips, we were told that they would have to charge us for the salsa. My wife and I found this to be very strange. They're a little on the stingy side with the fries too. We typically don't complain, we just don't come back.
The consistency you expect from any Applebees, with a friendly staff and easy to access location. I had lunch there with my folks and a cousin, and was the only one who departed from a salad and the tacos. Instead, I had a club sandwich and fries. The sandwich was very good, and overall the meal was filling.
I went here with 4 friends to do the unlimited wing challenge. We didn’t have a wait time and got seated immediately. We order the wings with no problem. But once we got to our 4th plate our stomachs started to act up but we could still eat more. So 3 of us go to the bathroom. When we get back we have the manger come to our table claiming we were throwing up and causing a scene so they have to kick us out(btw we spent 80 bucks on our meal). We thought this was absolutely outrageous but they did let us get a to go box. We tipped the waitress good because she was nice and didn’t have any problems. So we get in the car and one of my friends goes to check the wings and he finds 2 hairs in the food (I only took a picture of one). I believe this was my first time going to Applebees and it will certainly be the last.
We haven't been to an Applebee's in years and decided to visit the one in Waterloo. We were promptly greeted and taken to our table. It was a busy Saturday night and the staff were smiling as they moved about the restaurant. We selected the 2 for $25 special and were very happy with our choices. The "side" salads were full sized dinner salads, and our meals arrived sizzling on platters with cast iron skillets. Our waitress was checking on us frequently and we had a great date night. Thank you! We will be back.
Watch the card you use to pay.
They have been adding a tip on your card after you leave especially if you tip in cash.
