Applebee’s

Came to Carollton for work. Generally, Applebee’s would be the last place I’d go. Not that I’m a snob, I just prefer to find local spots. Tonight, that really wasn’t an opportunity. My co-​workers; Gene, Dan, and myself came in and we’re happy we did. We were immediately greeted by a hostess, and quickly found seats at the bar. The bartender… I believe her name is Tiffany, couldn’t have been more awesome. Apparently it was karaōke night (another first for an Applebee’s outing) but the dj was great, and introduced himself to everyone in the bar. He was great. (We’re in the south, so a lot of country, but a lot of other types too. He was good.)
The bartender (Tiffany, or that’s what she told me) was great. Def come back… not that it changed my opinion of Applebee’s, but would come back to this particular location again!

This was my favorite place to eat in Carrollton until lately. They either are out of something or tonight has to be my favorite we were served our appetizer so we waited a few minutes for the plates so they never came. My husband gets up goes and ask for 2 plates he was told to go back to his seat and wait a minute so he did… A few minutes later a young lady comes over and says that they are all dirty. Well then my husband decided to ask our waitress and see what she would say, she says «I’m sorry sir we only are aloud a certain amount and we’ve already used them «. REALLY!

This Applebees has lost our business. The service has gone downhill noticeably these last few months. They left off an item on our to-​go order, blamed my son for not noticing it, and then said it was against policy to issue a refund on that item. I stayed polite — even as the girl was blaming us — until the very end when they refused to issue a refund and the manager refused to come to the phone.
Applebees — train your people! Your server told me that the receipt was confusing to read, she questioned whether 2 or 3 soups were ordered and chose 2. There were 3 rows, one for each soup, each with a different price we paid. Please train your staff that when 3 soups are paid for, 3 soups must be given.

Today was probably my last visit. Every single time I go there, the food is cold, the wait staff is short, the kitchen is short, and it takes a really long time. I ordered a club sandwich and a soup today and I was there over 30 minutes before I got my lukewarm soup and a sandwich that looked like it had been thrown in the floor. I asked to trade my awful sandwich for a chicken fajita roll up without tomatoes because I’m allergic. That took thirty MORE minutes to get and it had tomatoes on it. Then it took 15 more minutes to get a remake. I was there for over an hour for a simple meal. The waitress was rude, took forever for a refill and ZERO apologies for what happened or a discount on my bill. Their score (that I noticed on the way OUT) was only a 90. Yuck! I will not likely go back.

I had stopped going to any Applebee’s restaurants several years ago because the food had gotten bad. But, today, we decided to try them again.
I’m glad we did.
We got the 2 for $ 20. deal. The wife got chicken (it was excellent) and I got the Riblet basket and sale ads.
The salad was awesome. Yep… awesome. I don’t know how you can make a simple garden salad awesome but they did.
The riblets were a pleasant surprise. Meaty and very tasty and a large portion with French fries.
The server, Caleb, was attentive and pleasant.
The restaurant was clean and orderly.
THE BAD: the restaurant has a 90 rating from the health department. I did not check the list to see where they were amiss but Applebee’s can have NO excuse for allowing a 90 rating. The manager should be reprimanded if not terminated. No excuse.
I will go back but if the rating is lower I will simply leave and put them on my ‘Never Again’ list.

I ate here twice this week. Great food, great service, nice and clean atmosphere. Good prices on beer and the ribs were good

The menu has a huge variety. The food always comes out looking exactly like it does on the menu. Everything tastes very fresh. The only food I have had that I didn’t like was steak a few years ago. I have had a couple experiences where they forgot about us or the service just wasn’t good. But in general, it’s just average. Wonderful food, service could use some improving. I know a few people who won’t go there because of the service.

The food is good, but the service can be bad. I have had the waiter Drew 3 times there & every time he has messed something up. Huge mess ups too. This latest time, he didn’t give me my 31 cents back because «he doesn’t want to take it out of his book.» He also remarked he always does this, but if the ppl fight w/​him, he’ll give them their change. This really rubbed me & my friends wrong. I didn’t need that change, but its the principle of the matter. A member of my party, who is a waiter at Ruby Tuesday, remarked that he should be fired for basically tipping himself and ripping off costumers.

We went to applebee on 1÷1÷2013. When we received our food the steak was blue almost rare we order medium well. There was hair in our mash potatoes. we sent them back. Waited on a baked potatoes to cook, that took 5 minutes when they can to the table it was still underdone. You need to hire cooks. The vegetable melody was raw no spice, salt, pepper or butter. I wish we would have never stop at Applebees. We were never offered anything because of the hair in the food which she saw. Never saw a manger about this problem. We left with a bill that we paid, for food that was bad!!! Also we had employees standing over the back of our booth. While we were eating or tried too. that made us think what else did they do to the food when we sent it back. I am 40 and my husband is 42 years old we do not need anyone watching us!!! We have never been treated this way! If they are able to come out and watch TV over your customers this is not a place for us. That made me wonder what else did they do to the food!!! I have never gotten food that bad their. It appears they no longer care about the customer. We will never be back!

Hey what can i say? Im a sucker for a quickie… a quick burger and beer during the rush hours of dinner …
This location is conveniently located off the highway and is right next to Publix and Target (perfect for the after grocery days)
The price is fair, and the burgers are fair, but the service is always nice! My food always comes out on a timely manner, the many times I have been here there had been rarely any mess ups, the beer is always cold, and the staff is always smiling.
I definitely enjoy this place.
