Applebee’s

Oh my GOD, are you kidding. Filthy, on the bar top, floors and the front door is so gross, all the paint is pealing… the bartender I guess thought it was OK to wrap his arms around a female employee to show her something on the computer. I would classify this as FONDLING, MOST DEFINATELY, SEXUAL HERASSMENT. I will NEVER GO BACK TO THIS PLACE, EGADS!!!,

Did not have a good time here! My fiancé and I went last night around 9 pm. We sat for about 15 minutes unattended and we wondered did we miss something. There was a tablet type device on the table where you could place orders for desserts and appetizers or call your server. We used that to order appetizers, mozzarella sticks and boneless chicken wings, and call the server.
It seemed like every last server in the building just walked past us and did not see if we needed help. Finally, my fiancé reached out to a waitress and asked for assistance. The waitress advised that she would help us and also let us know that she was new, her name was Monica. My fiancé ordered a double shot of gin and tonic and I ordered the blackberry honey iced tea. We both thought it strange that instead of her going to the bar she went to a register by the kitchen door to place our drink orders. It took about 15 minutes for his drink to come out and in that time our appetizers were still not brought out and neither was my drink. He stopped a different waitress, Chiquita, and asked if she could check on our appetizer order. She went immediately to the kitchen and came back to let us know that our entrees were almost ready, which was confusing because we asked about appetizers but ok. My fiancé ordered the Parmesan shrimp and sirloin steak with broccoli and mashed potatoes instead of the seasonal veggies, he also ordered another double shot of gin and tonic. I ordered the 7 oz sirloin with mashed potatoes, seasonal vegetables and broccoli, we ordered at the same time yet my food came out first and by the time we left at 10:45 my fiancés food was just being brought out but this was even way after he told them to cancel his order and bring him the check.
The server brought him his second drink all gin no tonic so he sent it back. I ordered a second blackberry honey iced tea, which unsweet and just awful.
At 10:35 he advised me that he was walking out the door because of the poor service. Prior to this, around 10:15 he asked the bartender, Monica and Chiquita to speak to the manager. At 10:35 we were still waiting on his food and for the manager to come out.
My fiancé advised all parties involved that we would not be returning. I didn’t get the managers name but even his response was lackadaisical. On Monica’s behalf she did the best she could with her being extremely new. She was very pleasant and I’m sure she will do well once she gets her bearings as a waitress.

Demetrius waa an excellent seever !
Food is good I recommend their margaritas and steaks. Portions are great yes!

Look I realize I maybe a little tacky bringing my cup of Starbucks coffee inside but if you guys can make a decent cup of Joe I wouldn’t have done it. Besides the Starbucks next to you closes at 8 PM. I walked in at 8:05 PM. Your manager who said I could not bring it in has a lot of balls since he really wasn’t working but watching the Bulls play basketball. I am a Bull’s fan but please Mr. Manager you get paid to do a job not watch television. I did leave with my Joe and kept driving to another place to eat. Have a great evening and no, I will never step into an Applebee’s again!

If I could rate this any worse, it would be a half star. First off, let me say that the service was exceptional, the waiter we had constantly waited on us and he did a good job. Now let me get to the food. I had chicken tenders and fries, the fries were good, but the chicken tenders were terrible. They were smaller than my middle finger and barely had any meat on them, with no flavoring. For $ 13, I expect for my tenders to be bigger than what they was and not like a kids meal. I will not be returning to this one at all.

Overall. I was a little disappointed. We struggled to get waited on and it took forever for the waitresses to fight over who’s section we were in. The hostess needs more to do. She spent the entire time talking and hanging all over a guy that worked there. BUT the food was timely and it was good. Just needs some work in the customer service department.

The drinks was awesome during lunch time. The bartender was friendly and very outgoing. I really enjoyed myself.

Never eat here… the steak and shrimp were very salty… the veggies were not steamed all the way… and the steaks colors looked very ill… like all the floud were drained from the streak… wait staff ok not great… we waited for someone to assist with us to seat us got tired of waiting and sat ourselves at the bar 5hining the service will be faster not at all… super sux

Came in with 3 friends and waited at the hostess station for several minutes while staff passed by us. The restaurant wasn’t half full, not busy by any means. We were finally acknowledged and seated. We placed our drink and food orders at the same time. It took 25 minutes to get our drinks and we didn’t get them until after I asked about them (they were sitting at the bar). The food came out 20 minutes later for 2 of the guests. Another 10mins for one other person’s food. About 15 minutes after that, I cancelled my order because everyone in my party was done eating and was ready to leave. If you want prompt, attentive service, this isn’t the place for you.

Went the for drinks and a bite after work. Took 25 minutes before i went to find our server. Ordered a beer.. took 20 minutes. Ordered food.. took 20 minutes (appetizers)…ordered a second drink after the first arrived and it took 30 minutes. It even took 20 minutes to hey the bill. We were 1 of 5 tables in the joint. Watched 2 different groups leave because of not getting waited on. 5pm on a Tuesday.
AWFUL

Ended up leaving after 20 minutes no one ever even looked my way to wait on me! Was not even covered up handed my menu to manager and said well no one even looked my way have a good nigh.

I have never been to an Applebee’s without a horrible kitchen. But I’ve sat here at the bar for at least 45 minutes and watched at least 6 – 7 orders come out wrong without there being 20 minutes minimum to fix it after a 45-​minute wait to bring out the original order. This is by far the worst Applebee’s in the tri-​state area.

We came here because Applebee’s used to be one of our favorites. We were in the area again, so we thought, «Why not?»
From the very beginning it was downhill. When we walked in, no one greeted us. We had to bolster up attention to get someone to seat us. Then they wanted to seat us right close to the door — on a night that is freezing cold and windy out. We asked to be seated away from the door and they reluctantly seated us in the back of the restaurant.
The whole while our waitress seemed very inattentive, not all there, and didn’t refill our drinks until we had to ask several times. Even then, she came back with my son’s Dr Pepper (which he says tasted more like Pepsi), and then was gone another long time before returning with water. And the restaurant was not in the least bit busy at the time.
The new menu is chaotic, hard to read. Our food was nothing to write home about — except the price! I confess, math is not my strong suite, but I was still thoroughly shocked to pay $ 73.64 before tip. That’s a good $ 30 more than we would pay for a Dad and two teenage boys at a nice restaurant like Genghis Grill.
While waiting for our food, I made use of the facilities, and found them dirty, and the trash can overflowing.
On the way out the door, after paying our check, we saw all the waitstaff huddled around at a table, playing with their electronics.
Not filled with nostalgic sentiments about Applebee’s anymore. It’ll be a while before I try another one — it’ll certainly be awhile before I can afford another one.

I wouldn’t eat here ever again even if my meal was free. I had a very rude server and the my food was cold. What happened to the good restaurants that care if you come back?

We went to Applebee’s today for my daughter birthday celebration and the waiter Jonathan was great .Our order was correct and the food was good. Thanks Jonathan for making our experience pleasant. The restaurant atmosphere was great and family oriented.

Place smelled like the carpets were real dirty. I sat at the bar like I do. The beers were cold, behind the bar looked dirtier than most places I’ve been in. I ordered a sirloin, rare, as they don’t offer any other cut of steak. It came out cooked medium at best, and looked smaller than the little 9oz I ordered, as they offered nothing bigger (I’ve never ordered a steak that small in my adult life). So the steak was well overcooked, the red potatoes on the side were also overcooked, and the plate only had a few pieces of potatoes on it too.
I was far from impressed with Applebee’s. I won’t be spending my money at this location again.

Walked in the door, looked great. We sat down and it was all downhill from there. Our server took 15 minutes to bring our waters, and then didn’t return for another 10 minutes. Keep in mind it was not busy at all at the time we were there. We got up and left, and as we were walking out, we passed our server and she calmly asked if we had «changed our mind.» Terrible. Avoid the frustration and dine elsewhere.

Good food, dumb waitress

So far so good. I like the ambiance of this new one on Sycamore View. Plus we must have come at the perfect time because shortly after we were seated our drinks came. Not long after ordering, the appetizers arrived. Fresh and warm:)
My daughter and I ordered the 2 for $ 20 deal. She had the penne pasta w/​baked chicken and I had the riblet basket. We had the Queso dip for our appetizer and Brownie Bites for dessert. Our food was warm and served quickly.
Not many people were here around this time (3:15−4:15) except a few groups who seemed to be having a business meeting and a luncheon. I saw several people sitting and eating with laptops so I’m guessing they have Wifi… maybe.
The only reason I didn’t give the place a complete 5 stars is due to the fact of a group of employees standing around cackling. One girl was upset about them cutting hours. Another was transferring messages from sumone in the back to another lady on the floor. They seemed to be a little over staffed for the customers they had around this time. Needless to say, for their lack of something to do, I had to endure hearing all of their many conversations about hours getting cut, who cared, and who didnt. By the time we left, I knew everything that was going on with the employees that were just standing around talking. They were just walking around or yelling back & forth. Not professional
Other than that everything was fine
