About Applebee's

Applebee's Grill + Bar offers a variety of dining experiences. While some customers have experienced greasy food like soggy fish and chips, others have enjoyed good meals with clean utensils. The service can be attentive and quick, with friendly wait staff who try their best to provide great care, even during busy times. Drinks are served quickly and refills are frequent, though some guests have noted that it can sometimes take a long time—up to an hour—for food to arrive, which can be frustrating, especially since prices are on the higher side.

Customer reviews mention that the atmosphere can be a bit messy, with filthy carpets and some small insects on the table. Staff members sometimes gather near the takeout door and make comments about co-workers or customers, which can affect the overall experience. Some meals, like sandwiches, arrive hot, but fries can be barely warm for a few guests.

Food favorites include the Wonton Tacos and pretzel sticks, which many enjoy despite the inconsistent service. A common concern is that hosts should greet guests with a smile and make them feel welcome, rather than looking unhappy or distracted. Also, customers have observed that drinks often arrive late, and by the time they are served, the main course may already be on the table. Overall, while the food is generally good, improvements in cleanliness, service consistency, and greeting guests warmly could make the experience much better.
