Applebee’s

The service is hit or miss, but that’s understandable considering how many of their servers are teens. I’ve never had a meal here that I wasn’t happy with, and the food is what I would expect.

If I ever decide to spend money on a dining experience, I will go anywhere but here. I have just noticed the last few times I went to Applebee’s that the quality of their food has gone down considerably. I ordered the strawberry avocado and chicken salad only to receive a plate full of baby greens. All of the ‘stuff’ was down at the bottom and as I sifted through I found a few measly pieces of strawberry and avocado. I don’t want a salad full of just greens while paying $ 10! The waitress noticed that I had a scant salad in front of me and nicely offered to bring more. She brought a bit more of the avocado and strawberries, but I was still eating mostly green stuff. She said that she would have to charge me to bring more and that there was a reason the salad had a low calorie count. My mother, likewise, was disappointed with the proportions in her salad. Lastly, they charged my grandma extra for a ‘loaded’ baked potato that included a few chips of bacon and hardly any cheese.
It’s just sad when I can get a better salad at Wendy’s for half the price. Our service was fine, but Applebee’s is nowhere near as tasty as I remembered it to be. Mediocre food with a dirty environment.

Applebees has always been one of my favorite restaurants, so when I move to Derby I had to try out their location there. Truthfully the food at this location seems to be cooked a little bit below par in comparison with other Applebee’s locations around Sedgwick County, having said that I still eat here almost weekly, the food is cooked and assembled adequately enough for me to be happy, and I have never had any issues that are worth truly complaining about. I would recommend this location to anyone.

Great service, friendly staff and the order came out perfectly and timely. Very cool holiday decorations as well.

I wish I could give it no stars. I have ate here several times but this last time was inexcusable. My husbands soup was brought out cold, my shrimp was like warm and the portion was only 6 shrimp for a dinner. I was ok with the small portion. We were the second group to arrive for lunch service and the third table was seated so closely to us that I was easily able to hear his potato get sent back twice because it was «crunchy». There is NO excuse for cold food at a restaurant.
