Applebee’s

first customers of the day… helpful, clean and ready. There are a few negative reviews and business seems to be down from it. A very cool day weather-​wise outside but no one inside. The manger has flags outside. The waitstaff was friendly. Everything looked ready and clean. The food was good just had ice tea to drink. (Shrimp Thai salad crisp greens & chicken tortilla soup).

Had the three cheese Penne, wife had the fiesta chicken from the two for $ 20 menu. The taste was bland. The three cheese cream blend tasted like one cheese. And worst of all, how can you offer Pasta without offering grated cheese. Overall taste was below par throughout. I haven’t been to Applebee’s for quite some time, I remember it being yummy. It is most likely this location. With all the options out there, it will be some time before I give Applebee’s another try.

With all of the casual dining eating places to choose in Cedar Hill, when you were greeted at the door with indifference and some rudeness makes you not want to stay at a place. We just left and are going to Red Robin

So me and the boyfriend are new to the area and I am usually a fan of Applebee’s during the week because of the cheap food and strong drinks (there’s one in Irving that I love) but this one really REALLY missed the mark for me. I mean, I don’t even think this location knew there was a mark to miss. It was that bad. There were so many things wrong with this location I actually need to list them:
1) Service. Was. Bad. You’d think that phrase alone goes without saying but for one thing, our waiter looked downright pissed anyone was even seated in his section. Granted, everyone is entitled to a bad day but I have NEVER had a waiter that was that detached, annoyed, and negligent. There was only me and my boyfriend and we were definitely nice and easygoing so we definitely did not send for the attitude we received, it was already waiting on us at the door. Which brings me to my next point
2) Service was slow. We felt rushed as we looked over the menu and rushed when our orders were taken but once we actually got our food, the boyfriend’s drink was missing and we had absolutely no napkins or silverware. How they expected the boyfriend to eat a sizzling steak with no silverware is beyond me. Our waiter didn’t even bother coming back to check on us so we ended up flagging down what looked to be the manager to get some silverware and his missing drink. After that, if anyone passed our table, it was a patron on the way to the bathroom but never anyone genuinely checking in on us. Which brings me to my next point
3) Service was negligent. When we actually did see our waiter, he seemed really bothered and like he wished he could click his heels together and end up somewhere else. With service like his, I wish I could’ve clicked my heels together and ended up somewhere else as well– like maybe the Chili’s down the street. If it weren’t for the game kiosk sitting at our table, me and the boyfriend probably would’ve just taken our food to go. It seriously felt like that little gaming tablet was babysitting us and distracting us from the disaster that was this Applebee’s so the one star given is simply to thank this location for providing modern technology to sedate us.
4) Food was good as usual and the drinks were strong. That is literally all thanks to the bartender so kudos to him/​her (we weren’t seated at the bar so I have no name to give for reference)
Cliff’s Notes: Do not do it. Don’t do it. If you have a lapse in judgment and want to take a chance, still, don’t do it.

My father ate at this location 3 weeks ago and fell very ill less than 24 hours from his meal. He went to the ER from severe stomach pains and was given morpheme for pain and he continued having dizzy spells and non stop diarrhea. He went to the doctor again this week and was diagnosed with E. Coli. My father had been in Colorado for 3 months and stopped at Applebee’s to eat for his first restaurant meal since being in CO; he had a hamburger and now he is on medication recovering.

We sat and waited for close to 30 minutes and not one waiter came over for our drinks or anything. while sitting right by where the supervisor was with other waiters… doubt we’ll be back. A couple came in 25 minutes after we had been waiting and already had their drinks at the table.

We were there today and we have a pregnant waitress she left us for about 30 minutes when we asked where she was they told us she was throwing up in the bathroom when she came back she told her she had to leave that somebody else was going to take care of us but she needed to check us out so she can get her tip.

1−31−15 Horrible service, but great management, I was with a large party celebrating my nephews birthday and we received horrible service, they left off food that was part of a meal, and it was hard to get refills on our drinks, the waiter had an attitude after we tried to explain to him that we were missing some food, we spoke with the manager and he was very professional and straighten out every thing.

9÷23÷14 Great lunch specials, fun and courteous wait staff.
Delicious mini desserts.
Arrived at the restaurant not really decisive on what to eat for lunch, although I had limited time, my waitress was very attentive and prompt. Once I decided on my order, tomato basil soup and salad, she made sure all was well and allowed me to enjoy my lunch uninterrupted. When I asked for my check (just have and take care of prior) she persuaded me to indulge in a mini dessert. Okay! So what can I say I got it to go and thought I would place it in the fridge at work and eat it on my way home… Not! I drove back to the office and with minutes to spare listened to my Christian cd and devoured that warm brownie atop with ice cream.
The dessert really made my day. sometimes it’s the very little things that we think we don’t need…
I’m glad I was talked into it.

Love this spot, just to come see Dennis the bartender!!! He’s a great bartender. Very thorough fella who is real personable with all his guests!

They didn’t have as large a food selection as I would have liked. The service was good though. Their prices are higher that their other major competitors.

Stepped in Tuesday, July 31, 2012. The bar was full. There were only two tables occupied in the dining room. Stood at the hostess desk for FIVE MINUTES before walking out. The manager on duty was behind the bar, made eye contact with us twice, ignored us, didn’t even care that we left (we went to Red Robin and had an excellent meal).
The restaurant stunk like old restaurant and stale cigarettes.
Boo.
