Listen, if you are visiting stay away. Seriously, stay away! The service is bad. One of the bus boys came in and it was extremely clear that he was on drugs! Although hilarious it was concerning! The service was slow and inconsistent. There were so many people on duty doing nothing. Don’t believe me and you want to still go for yourself. Then buyer beware :)

The food was fine, but the restaurant was dirty, and the waiters were trying to sweep the floor next to you while we were eating. Not a pleasent place to have dinner.

If you are staying at one of the Marriott properties by the mall than this is a very convenient location. We stayed at Courtyard when we first moved and this Applebee’s became a regular place for us. We learned quickly not to eat in. Service is terrible! Manager’s we met were nice, so it surprises me they hire such terrible staff. You walk in and they don’t hold door or greet you till you speak with them. Food is right half the time. Service is slow. Drinks are weak. If you sit in the back of restaurant it has a weird smell. Ordering for pick up online or over phone is better quality food, but expect to wait at least ten minutes after you arrive. Thursday nights are Karoke nights and we’ve never seen an Applebee’s do something like this. Omg it turns into an obnoxious club like scene with drunken fools everywhere. You couldn’t pay me enough to go on a Thursday… Even for take-out.

The 1 star isn’t due to 1 visit, but a combination of visits. A coworker and I try to go once a week due to them being open until 1 am on Friday nights. At least, the doors are unlocked. There is a particular manager that has refused us service on multiple occasions. Understandably, we walk in at 12:30, but we are never there past 1. We like to finish off a rough week at work with a drink and maybe an appetizer. This manager, the one that can’t stop playing with his mustache(unsanitary as it may seem) refuses to directly speak to customers. Speaking to the bartenders(whom don’t know his first name because he makes them call him Mr. _____)he makes them call last call at 12:15. Most places I visit have last call 10 minutes before closing. I understood that if a business closes at 1, then they close at 1, and not refuse service at 12:30. Overall the food is wonderful and they have the best Long Island iced tea I’ve ever had, when I can be served. The bar staff is great, but this manager is horrible, and the 1 star is completely based on my experience with this manager.

Of 100 Applebee’s I have been too, this was the second worst.(the worst had rats running on the floor). The service was slow, they forgot to give an itemized bill, and the bill itself took 25 minutes to be delivered. Stay away unless your only other option is eating nails.

This place is a joke — Went here with a friend from work to get some drinks and a quick bite after work… Was seated promptly — but never waited on. We took a seat at one of the high tops in the bar area. After 20 minutes I flagged down a server and asked if we could get a drink… It was obvious she was prejudice towards us. We ordered 2 drinks and 20 minutes later after not receiving our drinks we left. I will never ever go back here again. I called the establishment the next day and the manager was not available I left my name and # but never received a return call… I know its Applebees but really?

Been here twice on this trip because it is close to the hotel. The food is barely edible and in both cases we had to wipe the barstools off and the tables.

Pretty awful lunch. Salad too light on toppings, sandwich dripping with… butter flavored cook grease? I’ve worked in many restaurants in my eleven years in the industry. I would never apply to Applebee’s because the food is known to be sub-par.

This Applebees is located near the Pecanland Mall in Monroe, right next to a Courtyard Marriott in which I was staying. My experience was good, and typical for an Applebee’s(Ive been to many). Since I was traveling on business, I was alone and sat up at the bar. The bartender was friendly and engaging, and was quick to make sure I always had what I needed. I had the Cheeseburger quesidilla and small Caesar salad. The salad was a little dry and underwhelming, but the quesadilla was good. All in all, I enjoyed the meal. BOTTOMLINE: A good Applebees.

$ 6.99 for lunch, how could you go wrong, right? I thought so… being my first ever visit to Applebees today. I had never had the courage to enter before, thinking it was just another mediocre chain and today, I wanted so badly to prove myself wrong for such a decent lunch special. But sadly I wasn’t blown away. I think that the soup I got was tasty — french onion. I ate every bite, minus the huge amounts of cheese they used to fill up the bowl. It was overly salty, and I am feeling kind of dehydrated now… but tasty. As for my sandwich, they had no vegetarian options so I was pleased when the waiter said they could make the Turkey Fried Green Tomato sandwich without the turkey. This too was tasty — but dripping in grease. I guess it wouldn’t be so bad if you looked past the grease and the salt, but as a self-proclaimed chef that nowadays eats at home fresh veggies from the farmer’s market, it was beyond hard looking past the unhealthiness of the meal. However… on another note, next time, I would definitely sub the sandwich for the salad. They even have champagne dressing, fancy. And if you can look past the artery clogging qualities, then maybe you won’t mind Applebees either, atleast every so often, it can’t be too bad. Side note: they have 2 for 1 Bahama Mamas and Margaritas, not advertised on the menu but it didn’t hurt us to ask. Bahama Mamas were especially delicious!

After a re-visit, I can truly say that the Monroe Applebee’s is A-OK. When I wrote a one-star review back in May, the Regional Manager contacted me a few days later to gather feedback. He genuinely seemed concerned and promised that he would make some changes. Oh, and he sent me $ 30 gift card. He asked me to give the Monroe Applebee’s another shot and then give him feedback again. So, on my most recent trip to Monroe, I decided to give Applebee’s another chance, but I didn’t use my gift card on this particular trip because I wanted my review to be honest and unbiased. Some friends and I went late on a Friday night, and we were immediately greeted by a hostess. She promptly seated us, and our server, Jessi, quickly came by to talk to us. Jessi was an absolute delight and a complete 180 from the horrible server we had during my one-star visit. She was insanely warm, friendly, and personable. And she was fast. And she kept my water constantly full. And she frequently checked on us without being even the slightest bit annoying. The food came out quite promptly, and everything was piping hot. I’m not the biggest fan of the Applebee’s menu, but the food was pretty tasty! Even my steak was cooked perfectly! So, in the end, the Monroe Applebee’s has vastly improved, so they get an A+ for effort. It’s still Applebee’s, so it’s never going to be gourmet. But I’m happy that it’s back to its old self again — the Applebee’s I loved during my ULM days!

AWFUL. Food tastes the way body odour smells. Seriously. Especially the grilled food. I used to LOVE the margarita lime chicken… sad.
