Applebee’s

This review was meant for the Applebee’s in Grants Pass, which sucks. So I am removing it and giving the same star rating as the one that is posted. Never been here, no opinions on it. Beware the one in Grants Pass.

Worst Margarita I have ever had!
I wish I could give 0 stars. Service was garbage as well.

What a terrible food experience for lunch today. Three of us ordered the pasta lunch, two ordered the scampi pasta, one the four cheese mac & cheese. 2 selected the special with a Chinese chicken salad, one the broccoli cheese soup.
The price was under ten dollars per meal but proved to be very disappointing.
The mac and cheese was so dry I wondered where were all those promised cheeses? The only taste was the sugar sweetness from the chicken. Was very tasteless & unappetizing. Only salvation was the Chinese chicken salad which looked and tasted good although it was totally covered with some type of crispy noodles that overpowered that poorly dressed dish.
The scampi had about 4 small shrimp, a teaspoon of veggies with a dab of marinara sauce. Who puts marinara sauce in a butter garlic scampi dish other than Applebees. Also, just as the mac & cheese, it lacked a, recognizable garlic butter sauce.
Everything was DRY, DRY, DRY and more DRY. Never drink & eat at the same time but had no choice for this lunch.
Service staff were ok, but took a long time to get our food. Unfortunately, will not eat here agaim

This place keeps going downhill! You can stand at the front door and wait to be seated while they walk by you and stare at you from the bar absolutely insane! The food hasn’t gotten any better either. Very poor

Sat at the bar, the bar tender and manager were awesome! The restaurant was crazy busy and the kept their smiles and you could see everyone busting around like crazy. Had excellent service. Good was great! Will totally come back!

I’d rather eat at hometown buffet and if you follow me you’ll know that’s no bueno. Are here a while back and the food wasn’t great and the service… Oh the service. Thought Applebee’s was cool when I was younger but I was eating the food after I had hung out in their bar for a while so my judgement was skewed. too many other mediocre chain restaurants in the sea to go back here.

Meh. that’s really the best I can say. The food was ok. The fries were warm not hot. One of our sandwiches was pitiful. This location is in bad need of a facelift

A lot of flies that drove us crazy– they should and could do something about that.
The Triple Hog Dare Ya is not worth the price. Actual contents: a tablespoon of pulled pork, 2 strips of bacon, 2 thin slices of ham (like sandwich meat), onion straws and sauce (if they remember it)
Perhaps they try to make up the value deficit with re-​fills on French fries.

The waitress, Heidy, stole money from us.
A friend and I came in tonight around 10:30 and the place was about half full. We ordered drinks and food which, along with the service, was just fine… up until we went to pay the bill. When we got the bill, we told the waitress we would split it right in half. My friend paid her half of the meal and tip in cash, which I watched her count out, and then I gave my card to cover the remaining half. When I got the bill for my half, it was $ 5 higher than it should have been. We flagged down the waitress and explained that $ 5 was missing from the cash she was given and she immediately got defensive and accusatory, claiming my friend hadn’t given her enough money. She was not apologetic and she did not fix the mistake she made, whether it was on purpose or not. We felt like we had been shorted and lied to, and it was a completely inexcusable way to handle a guest issue. Heidy walked away again before the situation was resolved. I ended up paying the rest of the tab but without a tip (aside from the one she had helped herself to) and I will most definitely be following up with property and corporate management.

I got my order messed up twice and the food was bad :(((((
–We got their four cheese mac and it was soupy and abnormally sweet.
–The sauce that came with our mozzarella sticks was crusted over and cold.
–We also order buffalo wings, but it came as bbq wings and our server wasn’t around to help us for so long.
:(Overall it was a disappointing experience.

Ok went there last night arrived 10:59pm and employee saw us pull in parking lot and locked the doors. Really, open till midnight?!

Some of the worst service i have experienced. Service was slow and when i got the bill i had some questions about some of the charges. Well the waitress became even more rude when asked about them. Overheard her complaining to another worker like the mistake was our fault. Then to top it off, being military i asked about a military discount. Got more rude faces from the waitress and recieved a 62 cent discount on a $ 60 bill. Will not recommend to anyone.

Modifying food at a restaurant for a vegetarian seems to always be necessary. This Applebee’s in particular really made an effort to meet my needs and customize the meal to fit the bill; I didn’t just get a sandwich with no bacon or chicken etc. The manager came back to the table to see what my likes and dislikes were, then had the cook make a customized vegetarian club sandwich. I have to say, Applebee’s was not one of my first choices but now I crave that customized sandwich. I just hope the Applebee’s back home can recreate this delicious club sandwich. I will be recommending this Applebee’s to all my friends and family in Medford Oregon.
I didn’t catch the managers name but our servers were Winona and Heidy… Thank you for a great experience. :).

Absolutely the worst Applebee’s I’ve ever been too! Had the two for $ 20 special, We both got the ribs with very little meat on the ribs also not very many French fries! Service was some of the worst I have ever experienced in my life! Our food took forever and people around us were getting there food before us. My girlfriends son had the same experience in Eugene! Applebee’s has gone way down hill!

Poor service by our server, her saving grace was her support staff– hostess, assistants and other servers. She way too clueless to be having such a big section.
Probably last time going…

So, what to say about a ubiquitous chain? Applebee’s is adequate. Their options are not overly inspiring, though they do change it up somewhat and feature «new dishes!», their salads are almost always a good option, and they have lots and lots of your standard kids menu choices. This location, like most others, has good and bad days depending on your server. The menu items are not excellent, and mostly not horrible, they have a full service bar which can be fun, but it’s just your standard, typical chain. We eat there when we’re feeling equally uninspired.

Applebees Medford, Oregon
September 18, 2014 12:30pm
My wife and I decided to take a quick break from the busy day and stopped by Applebees in Medford Oregon — it has been quite awhile since we came by what used to be my favorite watering holes (location near my home and the excellent staff at the time). They always have a large selection of brews and full bar
Even though they were in the middle of the lunch rush seating was prompt and service friendly. The restaurant is quite clean, looking like an update since the last time we visited.
For drink my wife tried the Malibu Red Tropical Rita — it was not very good. After noticing her making a face I tasted it and we both compared the flavors to what perfume or bath room sanitizer must taste. Our waitress without question exchanged it for one of our favorites the Bloody Mary.
Since I was driving I had water which the waitress immediately asked if I would like lemon in it — not a frequent request at many restaurants
For lunch my wife and I shared appetizers and an entrée’: starting with the Won Ton Tacos (excellent!) and Buffalo Wings (great) and then we tried the Bourbon Street (Cajun) Chicken & Shrimp which was excellent!
Overall our visit was great

Took my family of 9 here for my daughters birthday… called ahead to tell them there would be 8 or 9 and still didn’t have a table ready for us.
when finally seated it took them 15 minutes to take our drink order,
watched our waiter Jeffery take 2 other tables (, that came in behind us), order. When I ask about our drinks he informed me, not so politely, that he was the only one in the section that they were under staffed.(at 5pm on Sunday). He also informed me I needed to be patient they were coming.
Well I politely informed him that I understood he was under staffed but I own a restaurant and I know how to do this.
when our food finally came it was below standards by far… the steak came out looking so pale looked more like pork chops and had the taste of whatever it was next to in the freezer, Penne pasta was almost none in the bowl, chicken was freezer burnt and it was all, to put it politely, CRAP.
the only good part of the evening was who I am assuming was a manager, stepping in and helping poor Jeffery that was obviously overwhelmed by the amount of tables he had.,.,.
The price I paid for this meal could have been spent better elsewhere,…
NEVER AGAIN!!!

Worst experience I’ve had at a restaurant in years. The place wasn’t busy at all, which was surprising as it was around dinner time. It took eight minutes to receive a server just to order drinks because our booth wasn’t in her section and the male server was behind. People who arrived after us received their food and beverages before us. We waited twenty three minutes for our appetizer and almost half hour for our entrée. No one came by and offered to refill our drinks or take away our dirty places. Multiple employees, even the manager, walked right past us and never made eye contact. We had to flag someone down for boxes and our check. Then, we had to wave around the check just for them to notice us so we could pay and leave. Almost two miserable hours spent being ignored. Will never go back and would never recommend!

Got to the restaurant at 10:15 pm after driving 8 hours from Washington The bar was half empty. We sat for 15 minutes in the bar while the servers refused to take our order or even acknowledge us. They were apparently having an important meeting at the POS. When we finally walked out still no one said anything.
Worst service ever.
The people down the street at Dairy Queen were very friendly.
