Applebee’s

This rant goes out to ALL the Applebee’s places, not just this one. We ate in Oklahoma the other day and only had 3 choices on the ½– Price appetizers. Thought it was just them. Couldn’t wait to get back to Kansas so we could go to one of our usual spots.
So, here we are and guess what? The waitress told us we could get the boneless or bone-​in chicken wings, pretzels with dip, chips and dip or a variation thereof, like queso. Everything else we asked about that used to be on that particular menu was told NO. Talk about disappointed!
Well, hubby was playing with the table machine and discovered several items listed at half-​price. Next thing you know, we have cheeseburger sliders and Asian steak tacos for half price. YES!!!
Our happy faces are back and our faith in the delicious appetizers has returned! I gotta get back to the scrumptious table full of tasty delights now…

Awesome experience!!! Food is great and the wait staff are terrific. A great stop on the road. French onion soup was fantastic and the Caesar salad with salmon outstanding Highly recommend

Below average food. If you don’t sit at the bar, prepare to get poor service as well. Stefanie (the bartender) is fantastic. She is the only reason we come back to this Applebee’s.

Horrible experience! For starters the restaurant was very cold and extremely dark. My mother and I stopped there after a concert at the nearby arena. We waited too long for a waitress to acknowledge us. She said she would come back to get our order and she never did. A second waitress eventually came to take our order. It took our food 45 minutes to arrive. My mother’s ribs were burnt so she sent them back and asked if she could order something else. The hostess said yes, but the waitress never came back to take her order. My food was cold. I asked if they could warm it up. Again, the hostess said yes, but no one ever came to get my plates. My mother asked to speak to a manager, but after 5 minutes, she never came. Instead, we saw her and two other waitresses walking around the restaurant with the same plates. We left and drove to an Applebee’s 20 minutes away at 11:30pm. To our surprise, the Wichita location on Broadway wasn’t cold or dark. The service was actually really good and they didn’t rush us even though we walked in late. I warn you AVOID the Park City location. Maybe they were overwhelmed… maybe they were short on employees… either way, we should’ve gotten better service than what we got.

I’m only rating this location so low because of what happened, I am a truck driver and on Mondays if I am ever close to an Applebee’s I stop in for their Monday burger deal, when I got there I was 90 minutes early so I hung out and started talking to the bartender and another guy their, I myself had 2 beers over 2 hour then started drinking sodas but the guy next to me was drinking beer after beer and he had so much to drink that he could not even finish his last beer, he was so drunk he was bragging about his $ 70 beer tab and having 12 beers, he then stood up and said he was leaving me and another person started asking if he was ok, he said he was fine, I asked how far he was going he said only 5 miles, as he was walking out the door I boticed how much trouble he was having was having walking and he was getting in truck and leaving, I told the two people at the door a make and female employee what was going on and they thought it was funny, I had to jump their shit a little to get them motivated, I said it’s not funny you need to get his plate # and do something they finally did, after a minute I went back and asked and was told we asked the manager and was told since he is already gone their is nothing they could do, this had to be theist disturbing thing I have ever been told, I went to the make that got the plate number and called the police myself, the police their were very fast to respond and I seen 2 police officers come by in less than 2 minutes, the called me back 5 minute later said they would see if he went to the registered address to the truck and check on him, I sickens me that this Applebee’s did not take this seriously, the fact that 2 of them thought it was funny pissed me off, he could have easily caused a major accident I’m still not sure he didn’t, anyway he had a red pickup truck Kansas plate 036DDO is what was given to me
UPDATE: The police were able to catch up with him, he was arrested for DUI

Because all my other reviews received 5 stars, I want you to know that I don’t love everything. I have pretty much sworn off of corporate restaurants (except for a select few) but I received a gift certificate for Applebee’s and took a chance. Biggest mistake of my life. When I got the gift certificate I was thinking about going in and having only beer and now wish that is what I had done. Our food was not good, service was okay, beer was fine. I will never eat another meal at Applebee’s. Sorry Applebee’s.

I went there yesterday with my parents. My dad’s steak was tough. I had the tequila tango chicken and shrimp, and the chicken was burnt and the shrimp was rubbery. The sauce was a sickly greenish yellow and tasted like just sour cream and cilantro. Not appetizing. The only good thing I had was the spinach and artichoke dip appetizer. The waiters were busy hanging out at the drink stand making fun of their coworkers.

Applebee’s has some excellent menu items. Their 2 for $ 20 menu is an excellent value for a date. You receive 2 entrées and appetizer for just $ 20. The only thing lacking here is quick service. They often get bogged down on busy nights.
