Applebee’s

Came here on Valentine’s Day. The service was terrible. The host keep saying the high chairs were available. I asked for the regular chairs. When I got a seat the chair was dirty. Food and greasy was on the chair. I asked the waiter to have someone clean it. They didn’t seem too happy about cleaning the seats. I ordered the $ 26 for 2 entrée and 1 appetizer. Food was good but definitely too salty. I got two waters with the food. The waitress do not offer straws. What chain restaurant don’t give straws to the customers. Applebee’s have new wireless machines on each table for customers to order food, pay and to play games. But to play the games on the machine it cost $ 2.99. That’s how the chains get the customer to cough up more money. The plus from Applebee’s is the free champagne on Valentine’s Day. I will stick with the Times Square Applesbee’s. Not coming back here again.

I was very hungry and came here to have some lunch. This is the worst Applebee’s I’ve ever been to. I ordered French onion soup and it was the worst soup I’ve ever had before. It felt like they put soup from refrigerator in a cup and then made it warm in microwave. The steak I ordered was overcooked. The employees are young students, but it is little bit hard to understand what they say, it feels like you are appeared in ghetto, so it made me uncomfortable.
I won’t come here.

I can’t even rate this a 1 because this place was horrible. Horrible service. Horrible food. And I even got a stomach flu the best day which was the cherry on top of this horrible experience. I DO NOT recommend this location at all.

The most horrifying experience of my life. I usually love Applebees but this place had the slowest and most inconsiderate service ever. I arrived at 5:30pm and left at 7:15pm and we didn’t even have dessert. We barely made Monday Night Raw at the Barclay’s Center. You couldn’t be more careless than our server who’s name was (Blondie) She said at one point your food will be out in 5 min, it literally took a half hour more! No apologize or anything, we were just sitting there miserable. This place needs a totally new staff. Just Horrendous!

This was the absolute worst dining experience I have ever had in my 24 years of life. I have come to this location before for lunch with a few friends and that experience was awful as well.
Today was my last final exam and my classmates and I decided to go for some drinks and apps. Keep in mind that this was around 1:30 pm and the whole restaurant was empty. It took 10 minutes to sit. We ordered our drinks and it took 45 minutes to get those. Our sangria was delivered in pitchers with no cups. The rest of the table got their drinks and we still didn’t have our sangria cups so I asked the waiter, Jaquay, for the cups and he said they had no clean wine glasses. Keep in mind it was 2pm and there was no one in the restaurant; you can’t tell me you don’t have any clean wine glasses! 10 more minutes pass and he brings 6 soaking wet wine glasses to the table. Then he proceeded to tell us to write down our food orders on a piece of paper for him. I was appalled. The food took another hour. When it came down to cleaning up the table of empty plates they just piled up by the dozen. And it took forever for him to break down the bill for us. I honestly don’t know how he is still employed at this establishment or how this establishment is still in business with the poor service that they offer. I will NEVER be back.

This is the worst Applebee’s I’ve ever been to. The staff is so rude and it’s mostly black girls, they look pissed and rather gossip than take care of their customers .Do not go there !

Do no come here. The food is terrible. If the run out of an ingredient they will replace it with whatever they have at hand. I told the waiter about this, and they tried to convince me that I was wrong. The service is probably underpaid and overwork because is the worst service I ever had. I am not coming back, neither is any of my friends.

One of the worst meals I’ve ever had – the $ 25 strip steak came with broccoli that was so overcooked it was like eating green mush. The steak itself was fat and gristle. Service was slow but adequate. I will avoid this chain at all costs.

This was the worse Applebees I’ve ever been to! You know it’s bad when I’m still sitting in the restaurant Unilocaling. Today is Veterans Day and I am a vet and I came here with my family and my sister who is also a vet. I am also in the food industry and server as well. We ordered drinks and waited fifteen minutes for them to come I asked for oranges for mine and it didn’t come until I asked three different people for it and my food was in front of me. I ordered a soup and that also took forever. Finally when it was brought to me i realized my spoon was dirty. It took at least ten minutes for someone to acknowledge me to even get the soup out of my face. When my server came to me I told her what happened. She then came out to tell me there wasn’t anymore. I was livid, not because of the soup but because of the matter of fact way that she said it. That’s when I decided it was time to see a manager. When I tracked a manager down having to get out of my seat I tried to explain to her that I was a server and I understand busy but she kind of cut me off. I told her my needs as far as the soup and what happened said she could make it happen, but if there wasn’t any soup in the building there was nothing she could do. Well there was soup and it came after my food was out. So as I sit here Unilocaling no one has came to ask us if we were okay or acknowledged us. This is ridiculous and I can’t wait to leave this place… I’m seriously just in disbelief if how bad this service is. WELL THANK YOU ALEX FOR SAVING THE DAY AND UNDERSTANDING THAT IT WAS THE PRINCIPLE. You were cool!!!

This place got 1 star because the waitress was sweet. But the food is tasteless, over cooked and I suspect the cabbage on my Asian Tacos had gone bad. Never again!!!

I visited the applebees on flatbush ext two days ago and i honestly believe it was the worst Applebees ive ever been to. The employees are of course young students but they seemed very unprofessional unlike the other locations. They were mostly females just hanging around and talking as though they were not at work. Their language was even ghetto and made me uncomfortable, even their supervisor who was a male seemed so complacent and unprofessional while he gave orders while chewing food. He was even yelling «so theres only 2 servers today»?My waitress looked like 16 and messed up my order and the place only had about 5 tables seated. I didnt receive the other half of my meal until the first part was already done.smh.then she tried to play slick and over chArge me and my fiancé. she gave us a bill for 35 took our debit card and came back with a receipt for 43 eventhough we gave her a tip in cash already. then 5 min later shes like ohhhh i saw you looking at your receipt and i realize i did something wrong so im going to void it and redo it because i charged u for something extra… what??? Why would she even pull something like this. They are shady… she wanted to see if i would catch it and plus they take wayyyyyy toooo long to bring your food eventhough the place is quite empty. i will stick to the one on flatbush junction instead. way better customer service.
Also since i just remembered. the establishment is depressing and old. They didnt even know if they had jerk chicken wings on their menu because i overheard a server asking the unprofessional supervisor. and also they gave me 3 sauces with my sweet potato fries. i had to ask the waiter wth it was because it taste like sweet vomit. she said maple syrup… sureeeeeeee.smh. I came here to this same place when it first opened and it was horrible then. Twice was enough to never ever go back. avoid this place. The employees dont know anything.

My friends in my major and I came here after the AP exam in celebration of our year long hard work.
It was the worst place to celebrate. The people were rude as hell. I’d hate to deduct stars because of poor service because that can easily be changed! Just put on a fake mask and the star rating will bump up a notch!
It took them forever to seat us. There were only three parties in the restaurant at the moment, so there were plenty of seats for us. Their excuse was that they needed time to stack the tables since we were a party of 8, but that shouldn’t take more than 5 minutes!
Then it took her another 5 minutes to hand us the menu. Another 5 to ask what we would like to drink. Another 5 to serve us the drink. 20 minutes to serve us the food which wasnt too bad. It is very hard to get their attention too. We had been wanting to ask for our check a long time ago. Also, shouldn’t the waiter come up to us and ask us if we would like dessert, if not, hand us the bill?
The food was ok. Nothing special about it.

Came here Tues ⁸⁄₉ to watch Game 3, set at a the bar and had a great time… The two bartenders tall black girl and one shorter Asian girl were very attentive. Drinks were really good, my fries were cold but I didn’t complain… I met some real cool guys at the bar, a lot of friendly shit talking. I set next to the only one white guy in the area, from Australia I think. We had a great time, suppose to meet back up today for game for…
Only complaint, there was no sound for the game they have little sound boxes but only one was working… Besides that good experience, way better than the one at Atlantic terminal they have the worst service in the world.

Standard Applebee’s American fare. The service is beyond horrible. The hostess made us wait for 20 minutes when the restaurant was half empty or apparently completely filled with imaginary people. The manager, I guess depending on how you look at it, let a couple of homeless people use the bathroom. I guess that would have been nice if there was no one there. But the stench alone when they walked passed our table almost made me vomit.
They took forever took our order and we were pretty much ignored for a good portion of the time. No one came to check in on us and before our food even came we were presented with the bill. Lapin had actually forgotten his cellphone and came back and our bill was still there with our dishes even after we left 15 minutes ago.
The only reason, we visited here is the prices are decent and they plenty of ongoing specials and the food isn’t that bad. I had fried shrimp with french fries and stole some of Lapin’s boneless wings but I would visit another Applebee’s instead of this dump if I am really craving some «cheap» American Food.

The service was horrible. The waitress was slow. We ordered our drinks and food at the same time and basically got them at the same time. She brought the wrong drinks after waiting for so long and when I asked to get a new fork, she replied, «A clean one?» What other kind would I want? The only time I started seeing her more was when she was ready to leave for the night. I will never be back to this Applebee’s.

I’ve mostly only ordered take out wings since this one incident from a good 8 months ago but I finally figured I should give an honest rating about what happened here during a sit down meal because it was definitely a strange and unusual experience. I came by here with a friend of mine to order a nice lunch. It took a good while for our food to come but whatever right? At least our food was there.
So we start eating and my friend says, «what the hell!?» And lifts her fork out of her meal, to reveal a long string of plastic, that was literally cooked into her food! So I’m somewhat humored and she’s a little pissed. I say that they probably accidentally cooked in a plastic wrapping from a straw or something, as though that realization, would make her any less grossed out and unhappy with her meal. She flags the waitress, who is super surprised by said non-​edible plastic and goes to the back to get her another of the same dish.
A little bit of a wait again, her new meal arrives, she starts eating and says, «you have got to be f*****g kidding me!» And now she’s pretty pissed and disgusted because there is another long, relatively thick sheet of plastic cooked into her meal again. This one even bigger than the one from before! Naturally I’m dying laughing and while she could see the humor in it, she was also pretty upset because while she was still hungry, she was understandably too put off to bother trying for a round three with her meal. She didn’t even want to risk eating any of mine after that. The waitress luckily just removed the cost of her food from the tab because, Ugh lol.
I’m giving this more than 1 star because I’ve ordered take out wings since then and at the very least, they tasted all right and also because what happened to my friend was somewhat hilarious at the time but still though pretty gross and messed up :/

Standard fare. Depressing venue. Looks like it’s been in a time capsule since 1988. We came here a few years ago because someone always wanted to try the chain. I still tease him about it.
If bland food is your thing… here you go.

Applebee’s has definitely fell off the chart in my opinion. Do keep in mind that I have visited there twice this week, including today.
Earlier this week, I stopped by with my four yr old neice. We were greeted nicely and was seated at a table. I would say his/​her name but it’s not necessary as I am angry at Applebee’s as a whole at this point. The wait to order things took way too long — i even called out to get the server’s attention serveral times and was ignored. I ordered a 12oz sirloin steak dish and my steak was 6oz and was tasteless. The portions were a joke — seriously.
My experience today was a better joke, I promise. I sat at the bar — there were about 5 people behind the bar, including a manager, but yet it took 10 mins to even place a drink/​appetizer order. I ordered a margarita and after two sips returned it immediately. It tasted more like sour mix, only. seriously. I steered from cocktails and decided to be safe and get a draft beer — I ordered a blue moon and was somewhat satisfied. I orderd bonesless honey bbq wings. They were horrendous. the sauce on the wings were heavy and made the wings slimy and the sauce itself had no flavor.
CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT MY BONELESS WINGS WERE STILL FROZEN/​COLD IN THE MIDDLE? I almost threw up right there, but the bar was packed and that wouldve been embarrassing lol. uuugh im disgusted. The bartender comped by bill but i at least still tipped him, although i wanted to just reverse time.

Whoa going by the reviews here doesn’t look like many people enjoy this place? Of course we can all have different experiences .
I happen to be in the area & before heading home we decided to get a bite to eat. Not much to be said about the décor since all Applebee’s have similar décor, this place is pretty big tho in comparison.
Once seated we got our menus, we decided to share the 3 for all we included the Chicken Tacos, really good. Steak quesadillas towers also good & the boneless Honey BBQ wings good as well, all choices I’ve had in the past so I know they would be good.
For main dish two of us wanted the Chicken oriental salad but came to find out they have discontinued it? if this is true that sucks this was a great salad.
The two of us decided to go with choices from the take two menu, both tried the Shrimp Linguine with the Green goodness wedge salad.
Linguine was good but in a red sauce? this was odd but didn’t taste bad. the wedge salad was pretty tasty. I had my meal with a Strawberry lemonade this was not bad a bit on the sweet side but mixed together it was good. One of us had the Thai salad this good as well.
Prices are decent since we got from the take two menu, the appetizer & regular salad were a bit high but normal prices for these type of places.
Our waitress was pretty slow & looked like she wasn’t having the best of day, she did seem like she was alone.
Overall our meal wasn’t bad, prices high for the kind of food they serve but decent if you choose from the specialty menus.

Visit Date: December 29, 2013
This Applebee’s is actually a real cr@pplebee’s! I don’t feel they are known for great food, when I used to drink this restaurant was actually a cheap way for me to get drunk and pig out after 10 PM. Hubby and I wandered in here after seeing a play in Brooklyn before catching our train home.
I was slightly upset because I had just lost a pair of good gloves that I just bought so I ordered a chocolate shake. There weren’t many vegetarian options on the menu, applebee’s has never had many vegetarian options, usually I need to chose a meal and ask them to prepare it without meat. I wasn’t in the mood yesterday so I just ordered the four cheese grilled cheese and tomato soup. Hubby had a chicken and pasta dish.
His chicken was blackened (or burnt). The chocolate shake was terrible I sent it back (and I never send back a shake), the tomato soup tasted like a cross between campbell’s tomato soup and tomato sauce (it wasn’t a good combo) and the four cheese grilled cheese was probably just one cheese grilled cheese on bland thick white bread. The cheese had an eerie elastic quality to it.
Don’t come here if you are at the Atlantic Terminal in Brooklyn, it’s not worth it. They also play poppy club music and as I’ve written in prior reviews I am not a fan of poppy club music while I’m eating food.
