Best WLM Reviews

I came here a few weeks ago with my friend. It was my first time ever going to an Applebees. It was a Saturday night so the restaurant was packed. However we waited no more than 10 minutes for a table. Our server was nice, no complaints about her. But, our utensils were dirty. It was so disgusting. Thankfully our server didn’t give us a hard time and went and got clean ones for us. We got waters for our drinks and it tasted so bad. It tasted like sink water. I’ve been to other restaurants and their water didn’t taste like that. Our food took awhile to come out since it was busy. My friend got chicken, shrimp and mushrooms and I just got a steak. My steak was alright but my friend wasn’t the biggest fan of her food. It was bland. Chain restaurants are often a hit or miss. I feel like this place is a miss. The fact that the utensils were dirty was just a huge turn off. At a restaurant you should expect the utensils to be clean. I definitely wouldn’t come here again.
Basic American food, my mozzarella sticks tasted like cleaning product. Barely any meat in the boneless wings, it was all breading.
Service and wait staff are excellent
We recently had the pleasure of dining in at the
Applebee’s in Plainville after not going in a while, and it
was a delightful experience. From the moment we
walked in, we felt welcomed by the cozy ambiance and
friendly staff. Manager Luis deserves a special
mention. His warm smile, pleasant personality, and
attentive service truly made our visit memorable. Luis
went above and beyond to ensure that we had a great
time and that our food was to our liking! It’s rare to find
such a dedicated manager who genuinely cares about
guests. The food was also delicious, especially the
bourbon street mushroom burger, which was big and
juicy, and the quesadilla salad, which was a nice
generous portion for the price! I was also impressed
with the amount of shrimp inside the flavorsome
Southwest Shrimp bowl! We will definitely come back
again soon with our friends and family to see Luis and
taste more of their tasty food!
It’s Applebees..I generally go to stores that are under 4* for reviews with a consensus to not expect too much other than the food ordered and it could be hit or miss.
Food - Got the all you can eat special with the wings and fries with the Cole slaw, second plate..switched up and got the ribs/riblets, 3rd plate went back to the wings..should’ve stayed with the wings. As far as food goes..the ribs are why the star got dropped.
Service - They only had 2 waitresses working, the third had to leave so they shut that side of the restaurant down..the two waitresses absolutely busted their tails as there was 10 out of 14 tables full of people, people would leave and others would come right in.
Parking - It’s in front of a shopping center…there’s loads of parking and separate for curbside and handicapped spaces.
Bathrooms - Clean
This is my second time coming here in about 3 weeks. Strictly because of the “ribs” is why I gave this a 4* review, and I don’t know if they classify them as ribs or riblets. I see others posting about bad experiences; I can’t speak to that as both times I’ve been here, I haven’t had an issue with the food or with the service. On a scale of 1-10, I would prolly go with a solid 8.
So like I lowkey wouldn’t come here again. One of my friends said her experience was “bad”. And I think that explains it all. My server was nice but she didn’t even ask me how I wanted my burger cooked ???? and I hate pink! Also DONT get the water it taste like awful awful things. 10/10 don’t reccomend.
for the second time but this time with a photo and everything???? we love the burgers - but what you treat is the tortillas, very good and super delicious burgers, we loved them. I loved the treatment and the service. The mango margarita was super good. with mango sugar.
Great food great atmosphere love the decor loved it on holiday from the uk great place
The Food and staff is great. I’ve been here a plenty of times but yesterday me and my boyfriend went in for lunch and it was his first time. We were both very uncomfortable and disturb with the table behind us who were 2 older woman. One lady made an awful comment and my boyfriend was in shock as it was his first time dining in there. The lady said “It’s always the black folks who come into this restaurant dressed like thugs”. My boyfriend is a black young man. The restaurant was half empty so we both knew that comment was directed to him. I wish I would have address the matter to a manager at the moment but me and my boyfriend are not confrontational people and the lady’s were a bit old. We went on to enjoy our lunch. But we will no longer be dinning in from now on. No human should ever feel uncomfortable to eat out or uncomfortable in their own skin! Those lady’s were very ignorant.
