Best WLM Reviews

it was a last minute stop on nov 24 so happy that it was open. There wasnt a big crowd but around 20 patrons. Waitress was really nice but her tables were all set pretty far apart so would take her a few minutes tonget back to table. Not a big deal. The issue is quality of food. We ordered the turkey plate, the whiskey burger and the chicken Alfredo pasta. It was possibly worse food I've had in last 10 years. The food was definitely not hot, and it was just so bland. The pasta was a watery cheese texture and didn't even finish it. Sorry AB, I don't think I can ever go back, respectfully.
Haven't been to an Applebee's in years and I was pleasantly surprised by the food I got. I got the Chicken Wonton Tacos. My GOD these things were awesome. The appetizer comes w/ 4....and I could of probably eaten 8 of these. The service was kind of poor however the guy serving us seemed bothered to be at work. Also, it was so cold inside. I wish I would of wore a sweatshirt. It was 75 outside, and stepped outside like twice to warm up.
We hadn't been here in a while. We were greeted and seated in no time.. Our server was at our table getting our drinks together right away. We had the 2 for $30. House Caesar salad which was good.. She ordered the 6oz steak that was cooked to perfection sides were also great. I had the fiesta lime chicken, which was also wonderful. We were quite surprised at our experience. Glad we were fancy like
Applebee's on a date night...
Couldn't help myself...
Great food great service.
Will be back...
The dining area was not too busy but the bar was quite crowded. I was seated at the bar; there were about 15 guests seated around the bar top. The bartender greeted me immediately and asked me what drink to order. I asked for the menu so she passed one to me. Then, it took her 8 minutes to come back asking me what to order. It seemed not showing a good hospitality in bartending.
Breaking Rock Rita and Chicken Wonton Tacos were ordered. She poured the mixed drink into the martini glass and placed both martini glass and the shaker tin in front of me. The presentation was good with the ocean blue color. However, it tasted too sweet; it let me feel I was drinking the syrup not the alcoholic cocktail. The chicken wonton tacos tasted delicious as expected; it’s the good snack.
I noticed the bartender always use her fingers to grab something (fruit, candy, etc.) to put into the drink instead of using the tongs. Not good impression on the drink/food preparation and hygiene.
The restaurant interior looked clean generally. There were about 6 TVs at the side and one large TV in the center of the bar. One out of them was off; it’s probably broken. The hockey game, basketball game and tennis match were playing on TVs. There TVs in a row at the side from my view were all playing exactly the same game. The bartender or the manager should have noticed it and changed to different channels, but it seemed they didn’t.
The restroom looked fine but small and a bit smelled. Lots of water stain on the floor.
Guys this is the best place to eat, the food was soooo good, it was such a good service :)
We appreciate the Veterans Day meal, thank you for honor us! Your restaurant and location was top notch, we made the visit on 11/11 to celebrate the vets who served in our family and was waited on by Caleb, who was fantastic. We haven’t been here in years, but we are glad we did and will be back again soon.
Great location. Our waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable about the items on the menu and even offered her personal opinions about what she orders here. Food came out promptly and was correctly made. Our only hiccup was that some other table played a game on their tablet device and it was trying to place it on our bill. It was quickly removed. Always double check your bill.
We go out to Applebee's to have a drink and a bite to eat.
Sit down at the table, get greeted by the waitress, which was very nice. And as we were sitting there, waiting for someone to take out order.
If I was touching the menus, nasty and sticky the tables, nasty and sticky Applebee's on university have the worst service ever. They're not clean. The windows are dirty. Everything looks nasty and filthy. Called the manager over to talk to him about the table. And I said, seal the table and he did that was nasty and sticky, but by that time I was ready to leave, didn't order any food.
Because how nasty and sticky the place was and the manager went and sat back down and started back to talking to the coworkers, which he was over and didn't bother to get anybody to clean the table.Young people's working at these restaurants these days.You need to pay more attention to cleanliness other than conversation with your coworkers
