Applebee’s

Very disappointed in the service at this location. The food was cold and never got my full order. Will not patronized the place again. The assistant manager Jennifer Pitts was very unpleasant.

I enjoy this applebees. Mainly during happy hour Adrian and Ryan are great!!! I’m a regular, so to speak, and they always take care of me. The HH prices are really good!

Very mediocre food and the lunchtime service was slooow. I do like their chopped fiesta salad, though, and our server was sweet.

Maybe it was because I hadn’t had a good meal in Columbus and was really hungry and had too high of an expectation, or maybe the food here just isn’t tasty. NOTHING on the menu appealed to me. It was standard Applebee’s fare: salads, chicken, nachos, burgers, ribs, steaks, etc.
You know the drill.
They do have a nice selection of sports (including my favorites: tennis and golf) on the TVs in the bar area.
I finally asked the bartender which steak he recommended and I got it. It was a sirloin in a BBQ sauce. The menu describes it as: «A juicy 7 oz. sirloin & grilled sweet onion is finished with sweet & spicy Hawaiian BBQ sauce and served with steamed garlicky spinach and crispy smashed potatoes.»
The onion was ‘ok,’ the steak was cooked ‘ok,’ and was of ‘ok’ quality and the spinach was SUPER garlicky, and I like garlic. I subbed broccoli for the potatoes and was surprised they serve it without any butter, or even lemon to squeeze on top of it and the cut ends of the broccoli were **brown** ugh. I didn’t eat a bit of broccoli — it was so pitiful, browned on the tips and dry. A good expeditor would have caught that.
The wine offered was Barefoot label which is a really low line label, a step up from Boones Farm.
The bartender and servers were friendly as was the hostess.
It’s located in a small outdoor mall.
I think the bartender was a little preoccupied because he had a leak in the ceiling right from the air conditioner on this hot day. He and the manager were assessing it.

It’s Applebee’s
I haven’t found it an enjoyable place to eat since I was twenty sum-​thing and thought that it was upscale eating out. Well compared to the Army rations I was used to at that time, it was «upscale».
The tables were sticky and the menu’s were even sticker.
When we went in, around 5pm’ish, they acted as seating a table of 9 would be an issue. They initially wanted to sit us in a round booth, but we declined as we knew that would not be a comfortable fit. Several in our group were soldiers, that were graduating from nearby Fort Benning, and they had on their uniforms, so you would have thought we’d been offered something more accommodating. They blamed it on staffing and stated that only one section was open to receive a group our size.
We were then offered several of the high-​top tables pushed together. Again, not really interested. We had a few in our table, who didn Those are only nice when you are doing more drinking than eating in my opinion, so finally, they spit our group into two booths and we were served promptly.
We received a 10% discount on our meals since we were staying at the nearby Hampton Inn, but the waitress told us that only the persons with actual key cards could receive the discount if we were going to get separate checks. Thankfully we had 3 key cards, so we grouped together that way and used the discount for each set of checks.
Service was average, and at the end one groups check had items on it they had order but didn’t receive. Those were removed without incident, and we basically went on our way.
Nothing special. It’s Applebee’s.

My daughter took me to Applebee’s for Mother’s Day, and it was wonderful! The food was cooked to perfection, the waitress was awesome. I had a Strawberry Daiquiri, and it was also made to perfection. Bravo, and thanks for the wonderful Mothers Day.
