Best WLM Reviews

For comfort food and value, this place is undefeated. Who else serves slab after slab of meats in 2024 for a reasonable price? Who else has large appy platters still? Who else has happy hour with cheap drinks? And best of all, the food tastes great and you can watch a game while enjoying from classic entrees
Went for the first time and was seated immediately. The place was clean, and we ordered from the deal menu. The spinach dip was great, but my drink had way too much ice. Our server wasn’t very friendly, but another staff member was really helpful. Overall, it was an okay experience, but not one I’d return for.
We had a great experience here! Food was delicious, and our server was super friendly and attentive!
Good service , we need to ask for napkins, regular food, the shrimp could be a little more cooked, the broccoli was cold, tasteless, the mashed potatoes need a little bit more butter, nut Meg, tasteless as well. Chicken was ok, simple, steak ok. The combo of appetizers was good, nothing exceptional. The price is fair, but let’s try around…
Okay it’s Applebees but hear me out… you know how prices to eat out are insane now? You know how even if you swing through a McDonald’s you’re getting absolutely ripped off and swindled? You know that feeling when you go out to a ‘good’ restaurant and you try to convince yourself that what you just ate was worth the asteroid sized divot it’s left in your bank account?
Enter Applebees. They have actual promotions. Yeah, you know those things that places used to have to save you some money and increase value while drumming up some business? Yeah, Applebees still does those. Bottomless wings baby!
They also have the same soft lighting, dark wood decor, and comfy booth seats that you remember from 20 years ago. Remember how that was cozy, comfortable and relaxing? IT STILL IS. Everything isn’t as blindingly bright and antiseptic as a hospital room which is apparently the aesthetic of every ‘modern’ establishment now.
What about the food you ask, isn’t it just ‘okay?’ Nah, it’s good and priced exactly for what you expect. It’s not going to light up your social media feed with glamorous food pics or impress your friends but it’s going to taste good and cost an amount of money that doesn’t make you feel like you’re getting ripped off.
Real talk though, I just had one of the best cooked burgers I’ve had in my life there tonight. No hyperbole or witticisms, it was genuinely delicious. My girlfriend and I got and enjoyed an appetizer, two lemonades, and two entrees and it was $56. In 2024!? Come on people.
Oh and do yourself and whoever you’re eating with a favor and get the breadsticks with Alfredo sauce as an appetizer. Olive Garden wished they had the breadstick and sauce game that Applebees is sportin’ right now.
My very first time been to this brand restaurant. First impression was a bit dark and old; however, the food here is quite okay! Especially the wonton tacos so good and it was happy hour
We went in and were seated immediately. The service was above any I've had anywhere else, coming by every few minutes to check on us and to accommodate our requests. We had some wings to start us off for the night while we enjoyed the football game. Right after, we had our main dish. All came quick and fresh, and we enjoyed ourselves very much.
UPDATE!!!! 11/04/2024 6:42pm THEY FIXED EVERYTHING UP, THE MANAGEMENT IN PARTICULAR WAS SO PROFESSIONAL TONIGHT!!! Corporate even reached out, and gave us a complimentary meal to make it up to us, and they TOTALLY did this in droves. The food was hot and fresh, 10/10 and drinks were ice cold. We were seated in a quiet booth as requested this time. Thank you SO MUCH for fixing everything, the female and male managers were so amazing, thanks again!!! THANKS FOR FIXING OUR ANIVERSARY NIGHT!
10/30/2024 9:05pm, my fiance and I came for our anniversary to enjoy our 9th year together. We're first told we can't pick the booth we want because theirs no servers in that area. The place is half empty, but the creepy little gnome-goblin waitress thingies told us NOPE. Next, I'm served up a cold plate of starchy mozzarella sticks as an appetizer. When I asked our waitress Ari for them to be made fresh, she makes us wait for 5 minutes, then proceeds to come back and tell us "they will be heating up my mozzarella sticks under the lamp"..... excuse me? Heating up my food under a lamp.... stay away from this place, i can't believe this ruined our night.
