Best WLM Reviews

This was an absolutely wretched experience. We hadn't been to an Applebee's in some time thanks to a poor experience, but we decided to give it a try again. That was a mistake. Firstly though, let me say the hostess was great. Friendly, amenable, and willing to help. Thanks to her, after we had sat for 15 minutes waiting for someone to even come take our drink order ( please note it was a slow Wednesday evening ) -she- went back to fetch our waiter. He proceeded to lie and say he had been stuck in the back. The truth was, we had seen him dealing with another table multiple times while we sat there. Now... we were willing to give him the benefit of the doubt that he hadn't known we were his table, but the blatant lie was bad.
After we finally order our drinks and an appetizer (pictured) its another good 10 minutes before someone (who I can only imagine was the manager) brings out our appetizer and asks if we're doing okay. My wife makes it clear that we're not enjoying our visit but just asks if we can have the drinks we ordered. He goes off to the back and after another 5 minutes or so the waiter comes back with the drinks finally and then launches into their charity speech. They were doing something like 'buy a vet a beer'. Normally totally okay with this sort of thing, but maybe not when it took 30 minutes to get our drinks. The whole thing just felt awkward and forced and like he didn't want to be there. He then promptly leaves without taking our meal order.
We wait another 10 or so and then decide its time to go. When he finally arrived, not to ask us what we wanted to eat, but to see if my kiddo wanted another shirly temple, we asked for the check, paid, and left. He got a tip, but not anything like we normally tip.
Other notes:
The Food. We never tried anything but the appetizer and while it was warm, it was not good. Not sure if thats normal for that dish, but my kid who loves spinach dip wouldn't touch it after the first bite.
The Manager. I might be wrong and maybe he was a different waiter who was helping out and never seen again, but I doubt it. But of that was the manager... he knew we were unhappy with the service and clearly could not find a care in his body to care about our experience. Even when we were obviously upset and leaving early, there was zero effort on either of their parts to try and salvage any sort of customer experience. If not for our hostess, it would have been easily the worst dining experience I have had in over 15 years.
0/10, won't be going to Applebee's again.
Enjoyed our meal but no luck beer on tap just certain bottles which was a bit disappointing. Also when we asked for the bill the girl brought it over and stood their waiting for us to pay. Just stood right over us...very strange and poor way to treat customers. Anyway food was good apart from the weird ending to our visit.
I haven’t visited Applebees in years but this experience was mostly great. There was a bit of water on the floor from the A/C vents leaking condensation. I alerted the hostess and she had my waitress place a ‘Wet Floor Sign’ where the water was at.
My waitress was great. She was also the bartender. I ordered a Cesar salad, medium well steak topped with shrimp , mashed potatoes & garlic green beans. I also had the dollar rita. Everything was delicious and fresh. My green beans could’ve been a bit more hot but that’s okay. I will be back soon.
We came in last night and sat in the bar. The bartender Angela was absolutely a gem not sure when she started but we never saw her before her smile and attitude were contagious. The manager sat down next to us and chatted for a while. There was even a waiter dancing at a table wit his customers. This didn't feel like the applebees we only go to for convenience it was a bar we want to come back to. We will be back!!!
set your standards low and you’re going to have the best dining experience ever. Service was mediocre, food was mediocre, atmosphere was fun and funky and fresh. Despite all the mediocrity we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. If you’re looking for a decent meal with cheap margs and a wacky people watching atmosphere, this is the place. Bring a fun friend!
Seat at the table for over 10 minutes on a Tuesday night place was almost empty only 2 more tables had ppl and now I know why, because I didn’t even get to order a drink they keep walking by my , manager and waiters so I walked out????????
If you want a good experience just drive a little more and go to cheddars scratch kitchen better prices , service and food ????????
They got my drink under 5 minutes and my food was out in 15 minutes , I didn’t know about them but now I do this is my new place ????????????
Service was horrible took them 20mins to acknowledge my family they didn’t have a lot of things on the menu couldn’t substitute items on the menu hair was in my food the worst Applebees ever
The service was fast and great. The drinks and food were delicous. No complaints at all. I personally recommend what I had: the Strawberry Lemonade Quencher, Fiesta Lime Chicken, and Chicken Wonton Tacos (shared appetizer). My wife had the steak and shrimp and the Blue Hawaiian Long Island Ice Tea and loved it!
