So we went in on a fairly busy Friday afternoon. Wasn't too busy but steady. It took a min to sit us. I think someone was training so they were explaining stuff. The manager training was extremely patient. I found that pretty cool. The food was good but not great but good. All in all it's Applebee's so it's no big suprize. BUT the server was awesome. I had a special request on my drink and she helped me out. (Non alcoholic). All the servers and the bar tender were fab!!! Give them a raise! For real!

We got there today (party of 5) and we were told there was at least a 15 minutes wait. I told the host we were going to sit at the bar section instead and she did not like that and then told me if I decide to sit there to use only the bar stools. I noticed they were plenty of empty tables at the bar area and the whole restaurant. When my wife question the host Anastasia why we couldn't sit at one of the table in the bar the bartender, Alexa told us she did not appreciate the way my wife questioned the host. These people had nothing but attitudes and poor customer service to the point we left to a much better restaurant with great customer service. Bottom line, we are not coming back again to this place mostly when we have much better choices in town. If I could give them a lower star I would and definitely will not recommend this place to anybody.

The Conscientious Critique

This is location was chosen due to its location near some shopping and errands that needed to be run.Now, to pre-empt this review by saying, we had a 1 star negative experience at an Applebee’s on previous reviews you can reference. This was our attempt to have Applebee’s redeem the urge to visit again.How did this location do? Well, really well… Greeted with a smile. Sat down fairly quickly. Service was quick and Mackenzie did a great job on getting our order in, keeping up on our wants and needs and did it all with a great smile. We noticed management walking around ensuring everyone and everything was good. The entrees were not bad at all. As ordered. There were only a few critiques we had in our review on the food. The steak was a tad on the tough side, being Med Rare. The broccoli was a bit salty. I had noticed that in previous reviews, they under-seasoned their broccoli, so maybe this was an effort to correct that, just in other direction a bit too far. The potatoes were a bit too “whipped” and not that classic mashed mouth feel you desire when eating mashed potatoes, giving it that processed feel and not home cooked. Other than that, spot on. Good flavor, served piping hot. Well covered and flavored boneless wings(nuggets). Clean restaurant. Could have used a bit more “ mood music and lighting “ to bring up the vibe to a dull roar… It was quiet and a bit somber feeling. Thanks to Mackenzie for bringing up the vibe and making the atmosphere a bit more inviting. Over all 4.8 !!

I had lunch today. I used the little device at the table to order a salad, an appetizer, and an entree. I noticed that the only soup on the device was french onion, but I don't prefer that one. I ended up ordering a small salad and the riblet plate with french fries. The server came by, greeted me, and I told her I ordered from the device. I also asked if the only soup was the french onion. She stated that they also have a few other options, one of which is the chicken tortilla soup. I ordered that one. The soup was hot and tasty. The salad was ok, but the ribs were a little dry. Overall, the lunch was pretty good. The server and expediter made up for the salad and ribs. Oh, the mango iced tea was good.

I can’t believe I am giving Applebee’s a 5 stars because I had sworn them off as a chain, in whole years ago- having had more bad experiences than good. When my new husband suggested we go, I shuddered but since it was his choice and it was a new town for us- I thought let’s just see….think positive. We heard someone had called in sick as we waited for our table and I was even more skeptical.What a joyous surprise! Our service was great and many think one cannot overcook chicken strips or mess up a salad but I’m here to tell you that it is entirely possible to do both but we didn’t have to worry about that tonight- this Applebee’s did it right and brought back the reason that Applebee’s became so popular in the first place! My husband’s steak was really good and everything was above bar.Thanks so much and keep it up! I will return to this Applebee’s.

The quality of food has taken a major dive the steaks are smaller and tougher than any place I've ever been to with a horrible cut of meat. It's really bad .. The shrimp is smaller and fishy not like seafood fishy . What use to be my go to dish is no longer it's terrible.:(I ordered the all you can eat deal also, and let me say I was very disappointed. The ribs never seen a grill, how do you serve ribs that never seen a grill ? These ribs looked boiled and served with some type of bbq sauce, the buffalo chicken bites cold and hard. Last but not least, the blonde OMG you know when I don't like something I don't finish it nor do I take it home with me I took about two bites of everything. You guys happen to mess up my favorite thing on the menu I used to come in just for the dessert and it was so bad and stale. I am at a loss. What has happened here Applebee's? This is bad.
