Best WLM Reviews

I took my friends son here it was decent enough but at the best average.
We both had burgers and I have to say that the burger was quite good but the fries had WAY to much seasoning and the Mozzarella sticks were very bland as was the marinara. I ordered a Shrimp Alfredo to take home to my wife and she only ate the shrimp out of it. There was barely any Alfredo sauce on it and what was looked as if it had been cooked in the microwave.
Our waitress, Bonnie, was phenomenal. Very prompt and professional.
The atmosphere was a bit loud, but there was a game on, so I guess it's understandable for a chain restaurant that seems to be more bar like instead of a restaurant with a bar.
In closing, I'm not a fan of chain restaurants and this experience didn't change that. I would not suggest it or suggest it. Again, average at best.
After a long 11 hour drive, My brother and I were met with some of the most wonderful customer service we have ever received. Katie M was our server, and she met us with a smile and was extremely nice and upbeat our entire stay. Hope to swing by this Applebee's again
The amount of food we got for 20 bucks! ???? It was simply delicious, and our waiter was awesome!
*Update* Me and my mother returned here to have lunch, and the 2 for 25 menu was very nice. A decent variety, we got a lot of food for the money, and our waitress Heather was a delight, so attentive, and kind. Me and my mother got the spinach and artichoke dip with chips (???? it was delicious), and we both got the lime chicken entree. The pico de gallo is a little spicy, so be aware if you can't handle spicy foods. My mom's strawberry lemonade was also on the very sweet side, but delightful nonetheless
We came in here tonight for dinner. I was so disappointed that once we placed our order the sever brought or meals to us and walked away. I looked down and notice a fly/ nat on my plate. My husband tried to remind it but it was stuck to my plate. What’s sad is the dishwasher put it away like that then the cook crew served a meal on it and then the sever brought it to us. So you’re telling me it went through at a least 3-4 people and not a one saw this. What’s sad is we sat there for awhile because either they were short stuff or all too busy amongst themselves. It wasn’t busy. So we took a couple of pictures. You be the judge but I wouldn’t eat here.
Update on my original review!!!
I received a very welcomed call from the district manager. I was very much impressed by his concerns and feel that things are going to be just fine at this particular location. This is the Applebee's that I know and love. It's amazing what one phone call can do to change your mind about an entire company. Well done Applebee's!
I took my 88 year old mother to lunch. The moment we got there,we were told to wait,(7 people in there,5 at the bar) she continued her conversation at the bar while we waited. She then proceeded to seat us, there were no tables for handicap,so she us to a table which lead up the stairs. Mother is on a rollator, and we just stood there kinda confused,then she says, oh there's a ramp over there. The waitress was Ashley, she was excellent. Very apologetic when they brought out the salad without the soup. She was awesome. The music was so loud and was not of a family restaurant quality. Metal head music,a lot of screaming. I got the feeling that the bar was their main concern. Very disappointed, not family oriented. They really need management to monitor the goings on there. Very sad what they have become
Ordered the chicken and shrimp plate.... after waiting over an hour for food the chicken and mashed potatoes were tiny servings. The food and drinks tasted amazing.... just disappointed that the picture in the menu was no where near what was served. Alex was amazing and we will happily go back to see her
We've ate here for years and have never had a bad experience. The food is always great, and the greeters are nice. It's clean, and welcoming. The bar is awesome, and it's a great for enjoying some games.
Great service. The waitress took care of us. There wasn't any wait at all. The food was very good. I hope to return soon.
