Best WLM Reviews

Not sure if it's just this Marietta location or Applebee's in general but my experience there last night was quite underwhelming, compared to the fond memories I have of this eatery from a decade ago. Went on a Saturday night with my wife, the decor was dingy and dark, more like a pub than a family restaurant. The place was only about 20 percent full at 7pm, not a good sign. Wait staff was pleasant but verrrry slow. I get it, it's a hard job and I usually don't let slow service bother me but again, the place wasn't very busy. None of this would have mattered if the food was good. It wasn't. My wife's pasta was too sweet and my shrimp dish was too salty. And that's coming from a guy who loves to over-season everything. I'm going to try another Applebee's location before deciding if this is a place I'll frequent, since I do think it's a better value for casual dining than many other eateries in the area (I'm looking at you, Lazy Dog).
Went here on Veterans day thinking that "this might be a nice place to get a free meal for the holiday." I have a 1 hour lunch break. There were about 12 tables with customers myself included, and from what I could see there were 4 people waiting tables. I immediately got seated and after 30 minutes of waiting nobody even came to my table to take my order. I ended up having to leave without ever ordering so I could get back to work on time
I had to skip eating a lunch entirely! So much for a holiday meal.
It's easy to offer us Veterans a free meal if you know most of us won't be able to wait around long enough to order it!
Never going back.
If your reading this you should stay away too.
Had a nice dinner while visiting my son in college. Waiter got order correct and delivered timely. Food was prepared well and tasted good. We had a nice visit. Definitely will make this our meeting spot again.
Went here for my mom's birthday. It wasn't very crowded, which is a shame because the food was amazing. The broccoli was cooked perfectly, and everything was great. I ended up with leftovers, and even after being refrigerated and reheated, it was still good. I would definitely recommend.
I love Applebees but this is not the location you want to visit. Upon arrival, I was waiting at the entrance to get seated. I waited there for a whole 10 minutes without being acknowledged by the staff. This was 10:30 at night on a slow day. It was very rude to see the workers ignoring you as they were walking by. Then I finally said “Excuse me, can I get a table for two please?”
The waitress finally sat me in a booth. The food was mid. My date and I were not impressed. They OD on the salt for my beer pretzels, the Mac and cheese with bacon was not good, and the staff there looked like they didn’t want to do their job. When we asked for napkins and other things, they responded as if we were annoying them.
The older woman who was our server did not check on us or anything. It was bare minimum service. You can find better service at a different location.
Walked in and was sat by the bartender after about 5 minutes… sat there for 30 minutes before our waitress even spoke to us. We ordered our entire meal thinking it would speed things up… after 20 more minutes we still didn’t have waters and decided to walk out. I tried to be patient but overall I feel dumb and embarrassed that I was so patient with them and gave them too much grace
How in a Saturday night you only have 2 servers is hilariously astonishing.
While writing the weekly staff schedule, are there any members of management who think maybe inserting some support so that guests are taken care of in a timely, meaningful manner.
Guess not , I see why the brand is suffering so badly .
James needs more training
I waited to be seated for 10 minutes. Finally, a young woman casually strolled to the front and started talking to the party behind me. When i realized she was asking them how many in their party, i realized she was the "hostess". I told her i was first. She looked at me blandly and walked away with a menu. I had to assume that i was to follow. She seated me and walked away without saying anything else. She seated the other party and disappeared into the back. 10 minutes later, she
reappeared to take my order. At this point, the only customers were seated at the bar and the large party who had not yet been waited on, either. She has no sense of urgency, apparently no ability or desire to smile or treat customers as important, and her only speed is s-l-o-wwwww. 20 minutes later, I'm still waiting for my food, and the bartender came up to me to take my order. What? When my food finally came, the order wasn't complete. I received my food, but no appetizer. Eventually, i received most of my food and ate. The chicken wonton tacos were cold. The oriental chicken salad was wilted and brown. I arrived at 12:54. I received my bill at 2:40. It took forever. The bathroom was dirty when i arrived, and worse when i left. I Will definitely not be coming back here, and suggest that you rethink stopping at this Applebees.
