All the food I've ever gotten here is awesome. My wife who's a southern girl, loves their Grits, I'm particular to the BEC Biscuit or the Waffle platter. Keep up the great work and I'll always be a customer.“

“The food is great! But the staff is wonderful every time we visit the Dothan restaurant the staff makes us feel welcome. I cannot brag enough on the customer service.“

“I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Applebee’s.

One thing I have decided, work ethics and proper management are not as important as it once was. Many people are “flying by the seat of their pants” because they have been forced into positions they’ve no idea how to operate because of the lack of staff and support. Saying that, there are exceptions.

The server was great and very considerate. I was grateful she shared that the place was understaffed and there could be a longer wait time. She was very busy running the floor and door, but she was doing her best. I understood the situation and knew she couldn’t handle frequent rounds to the tables.

Oftentimes, that info is not disclosed and the attitudes and actions of the servers are horrible, resulting in “hangry” patrons and empty tables.

I did stay and my meal was served just as quick as any other time. And quite delicious I’d say. I’ll have another late night visit to Applebee’s!“

“Just the best.“

“Way better than the one by Crazy Monkey. It's strange how different the same restaurant can be only separated by a few miles, but it's very noticeable. This one is clean with normal people working there. I didn't notice the cook grabbing raw meat in between plating cooked food with the same plastic gloves on the whole time. Great success. Thanks.“

“Best bartenders, music, & fun!“

“Our soon to be 9 yr old LOVES steak from The Cellar. We decided to surprise him with a family dinner to celebrate and booked the small party room. The service was outstanding, food arrival was prompt and delicious, and everyone’s food was cooked to perfection. Almost all the party ordered steak! Thank you for hosting our family and making one little boys “family tree dinner” one to remember!“

“I guess we got there at change of shift and was ignored for over 15 min. We finally had to call out for help and a couple said... I'm off the clock out completely ignored. After the next crew figured out what was going on the service wasn't bad.“

“This restaurant has gone down hill. It’s so scruffy, shabby and everything is worn out. Your feet stick to the floors in the bathroom. The carpet is dirty. The food has used to be delicious but the last two times the food is unrecognizable from a few months ago. Dry fish, dry coleslaw, fish and chips fry. Baked potato hard. It’s such a shame“

“Great place to play Pool,hang out,drink a few Beers/Drinks.Pinball,Coin Drop,Hunter HD Game.“

“We stopped before a long drive heading back home, what we didn't know was a main water line was just repaired overnight and had only been fixed shortly before our arrival at 5 AM. We were a little concerned but staff did a great job and provided us with a good meal.
10/31/25 I couldn't access the Link you sent about the employees that worked the early morning shift but the date was Saturday the 18th in Dothan Alabama and we were there close to 5 AM. I hope this helps.“

“Great customer service! Good food, just like I expect. I love finding a Waffle House when I'm traveling because I know i can always get a good meal. I ordered the Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Hashbrown Bowl and Coffee. Just as good as every other place I've ordered. This location is highly recommended!“

“Shawn and Kayleigh were absolutely amazing! The food was top notch, by far the best Waffle House experience ever!!!! They were really exceptional to us and our two little girls!!! These two people deserve way more than a pat on the back!!! We will return and only to be served by these two people!!! Better hold on to them!!“
