Best WLM Reviews
I figured that a chain like Applebee's would provide reliable comfort food for my family on a short trip. I was wrong. The food literally ruined our trip.
The kids are picky, so we couldn't try some of the more exotic and unique culinary experiences in the area. I thought Applebee's would be a good, reliable dinner out, and the kids would be satisfied, but here's how bad it was.
1. Cheeseburgers: How do you mess up a cheeseburger? They were overcooked and dry.
2. Grilled Chicken: This tasted like when leftovers go too long in the fridge and you try to cut through them while they are cold. I sawed through the thin, dry, gritty filet and choked it down with the help of some spinach artichoke dip to attempt to add flavor and moisture. The smashed potatoes were dry and flavorless. Even the broccoli was dried out and unpleasant.
3. Chicken penne pasta: The person who ordered this ate the pasta but left all of the chicken. I wish there were meatless options for this and the chicken mac and cheese to avoid food waste. The pasta was reported to be "okay."
4. Spinach Artichoke Dip - Warm and fresh with melted cheese and warm tortilla chips.
5. Mozzarella Sticks: Crispy outside, melty inside.
Service was okay - we had to wait about 10 minutes to be seated. The food took some time to receive - enough to play three rounds of a table game. The refills came but not speedily. I detected either attitude or stress from our servers, but they tried.
After we went back to the hotel room, we all felt bad -- bloated, gassy, and nauseated. We hadn't eaten since brunch in the morning, seven hours before, so I can't think of anything else that could have caused this reaction. We also all ate different things, so if it were the chicken or the pasta, only one person would feel bad, but we all felt the same way.
I can't believe I paid money to ruin my own trip. Nobody felt like going out once we got back to the hotel, and we wasted $100 and one night with the family.
I understand that food prices are going up everywhere, but the prices here were still way too steep for the poor quality food. It would have been better to just get fast food and take it back to the hotel, then we could have had the money and health to go out afterward.
Great service...
Great food....
I recommend the spinach and artichoke dip by the way.
It's also Happy hour from 3-6 pm and 9 pm-closing. Run because some appetizers are half off.????????????
Went to the Festival of Lights and decided to head to Applebees. I got the Bourbon bacon burger, it was ok but could have definitely used some more bourbon sauce. Wife got the bourbon chicken with mashed potatoes and said it was good.
Great dining experience we had celebrating my friends new promotion. I was very surprised by the excellent service received by Shae. He was so polite and so attentive. I hope the manager is reading this. Please hire more people like Shae. He should be doing the training and guiding other servers on how to treat customers. This guy has it!! Thank you for making our experience such a pleasant one.
The food was good. I see the portions are getting smaller and smaller. Maybe that's a good thing and will help people lose weight but for the price I was expecting more.
Service was excellent, although the chicken I had was pretty dry. I ordered the four cheese mac and cheese pasta. The pasta itself was nice, the sauce was a bit on the spicy side. The breadstick that came with it was nice and fluffy biting into. (It also came with bacon strips but my body is intolerant to bacon so I asked them to leave it out.)
Thursday night 6:00 pm group of (4) 10 minute wait. Ordered 8oz Bourbon Street Steak with onion rings. Cooked medium well. Steak was well they prepared the onion rings perfectly. Everyone enjoyed the meal and the service. This my second time there. ????????????????
Went there on Saturday in the mid-day. Ordered the combo appetizer & Tipsy Leprechaun. Ordered the 6oz steak medium well with salad and green beans onion rings. The service was quick. The food well prepared and great taste. This place has great setup and would be a place I would visit again????????????????
Group of 12 so, a lot of food was ordered. One waiter for the whole group. He was very polite and friendly. Wonton tacos,onion rings,and fries are delicious! House sauce on the ribs was not very good. Steak, salmon, burger, no complaints. Drinks delicious!
Stopped by Applebees in Riverside in the downtown area for lunch. I started with a Passion Fruit Mai Tai, which uniquely came with refills in a shaker - quite a treat with several refills. For my meal, I inquired about the server's preference between the Four Cheese Mac & Cheese with Honey Pepper Chicken Tenders and the Whiskey Bacon Burger. Following her recommendation, I chose the Mac & Cheese option. It was decent, indeed sweet as she mentioned, which suited my taste. I value getting insights from servers as they have a pulse on customer feedback. The service was attentive, and paying through the kiosk on the table made for an easy checkout.
