Applebee’s

I don’t know why but the food here tastes like its just microwaved. Onion rings and the shrimp tastes the same, the tenderloin was very, very salty and the staff dosen’t have any idea on what to reccomend. The sports on large TV’s are good though. They should really improve their food and service and everything would be okay. I guess.

Well, my bad for even trying this place. In town getting our daughter moved in to her dorm so in the midst of the shopping spree we needed some food. Unfortunately this place was close to one of the stores we needed to go to. Haven’t been to an Applebee’s in well over a decade, which apparently is long enough to forget about how terrible it is. If it were subpar I wouldn’t be writing this. Oh, if only it were. Start to finish it was awful. Our server was quite a price of work, or something. She started off by telling us about how the last 48 hours of her life were, which was mostly complaining about how tired she was from working doubles there as well as her second job. She mentioned that she had showered, thank god, but she damn sure hadn’t washed her uniform in well over a week. Suffice it to say it was very obvious that she wipes her hands on her pants, apron or shirt which makes me question her basic hand washing practices. Out of the draft beer I wanted so we ordered UNSWEET tea. We got sweet tea… and there was something stuck to the wife’s tea glass. Ugh. The food was delivered by another server. At first I was hoping we had gotten a different server, but he was as sweaty and disheveled as our original waitress. And he apologized when he delivered the food because he was new and had no idea what he was auctioning off to our table. Then I had to go ask for silverware. Our original waitress was sitting at the bar and said they were roping silver because they had been so busy that they ran out. Fair enough. When I unwrapped my silverware, the utensils were still wet (no big deal) but definitely not clean. The waitress said «oh, is that dirty?». Yes, filthy. I just need some napkins please. Long story short, between the level of «service», the overly chatty waitress (who told us all about her four kids and a grand baby on the way and what the sex would be) the almost empty restaurant that was dirty and the floor needed attention, I assume there is no one managing that disaster. Never again will I darken the doorstep of an Applebee’s. What a dump. Definitely the crappiest chain restaurant in business and that’s saying something.

Zipped in mainly for a few Happy Hour special apps at ½ price. Pretty dismal selection of apps at that special price though. Settled on the Asian Wonton Tacos. Pretty good actually. Service was Meh. My kid liked his kids meal grilled cheese at least…

I came in for dinner after a long day of traveling. I was sitting at the bar and the service was great! The bartender was friendly and attentive to all of the patrons sitting at the bar. My food came out great and within 15 – 20 mins. Would definitely eat here again for a work trip!

Smallest ½ sandwich on chiabatta ever. Potato cheese soup was not even warm. Sent back to heat it, but then the potatoes were not even done. This visit was a total fail. Should have tried Cheddars.

Really bad service, food was good. Server spent most of the time visiting with an off duty employee. She checked back on us one time and we never got a refill on our tea. We had to ask for our check 3 times. They should not allow off duty workers to distract the people working.

Looks like they are short inn staff but should not be reason enough for the lack of good service. 2^nd time here in a month and both times have been bad. their won’t be a 3^rd time. Both times i’ve ordered a simple mixed drink and they’ve been Bad!
Service is slow and the place feels blah.

We had an awesome meal, great server, the place is very open and airy and comfortable, even when it started filling with people for the dinner rush. Love the lighting and the local feel with the wall paintings and photos of Lubbock things.

Great food! Delicious and healthy entrees. If you want flavorful low calorie meals I highly recomend this place. You can get a guilt free dining experience. The quesadilla burger is a sinful delight! Waitress was friendly and kept my drink full!

Poor services. Some waitresses ignore me while I’m raising my hand ask water for a long time. only one handsome waiter came finally and brought water.

I never eated at applebee’s and I had a good experience. I the beginning our beers were flat (no gas) and they changed them quickly at no cost. I ordered meat with onion soup. The soup was really good. the meat was fine for an American food place it was pretty decent. It came along with some roasted potatoes that had a very interesting zesty taste to them. For 8 bucks all that food was very good for me. The quality was good too. I know this places are hit or miss but at least in my very first experience this was a hit. :)
I hope this is helpful! :)

The best thing I can say about this American style restaurant is that it is very hit or miss, today it was a hit. I enjoy Applebee’s but it is not reliable.
The Club House Grill is one of my favorite sandwiches on the menu, but every once in a while it is served cold. And though I am not an expert, I think a cold sandwich would defeat the ‘Grill’ that is implied with its name.

The food always tastes so pre-​packaged instead of fresh. I know that most places like this use pre-​packaged food, but this really tastes that way. The service is spotty. I’d rather go somewhere else.

Like any other corporate restaurant, but this one has the added problem of being filthy and sticky.
