Let me just say this — Danielle is the kind of server that makes you wonder why every place doesn’t have someone like her. From the moment we sat down, she was on it. Drinks came out fast, orders were taken perfectly, and not once did she make a mistake (which is rare these days). She’s quick, efficient, and has this hilarious personality that makes the whole experience way better than just “going out to eat.”
She doesn’t just drop plates and disappear — she checks in at the right times, keeps the energy fun, and honestly feels like she enjoys what she does. That kind of vibe is contagious. My table was laughing, joking, and having a great time, all thanks to her.
And let’s be real — some servers just “do their job.” Danielle owns it. She’s sharp, she’s professional, and she’s got that badass edge that makes her unforgettable. She’s the reason I’d come back to this spot without a doubt.
If management is reading this: Danielle is pure gold. Protect her at all costs.

Paid nearly 20 bucks for maybe 7 thinly sliced pieces of chicken breast and maybe 9 or 10 waffle fries. I'm a 5'4 woman with small hands. I get times are hard, but cmon. 2 meals cost over 40 bucks. Wait staff was lovely, place was clean. Food tasted fine.

Service was great, drinks were great, steak was awfully! Ordered medium well but one was very rare and both were tough and mostly gristle. Will be back but will never get another steak from Applebee's, these were the grossest steaks I've ever encountered. The staff and drinks were really great!

This place is a joke. Every time I go there they are slow and have some of the worst service on the planet. Last time we waited an hour for food. Didn’t even get our appetizer. I will never go back. I hope this place goes out of business and a competent restaurant takes its place. It’s a disgrace and waste of a restaurant in this town.

Service was good,food was good great atmosphere.
My food was a bit dry, but the customer service was good and the atmosphere too. Unfortunately going out to eat isn't cheap these days, but prices are good considering the average cost per person.

SLOWEST SERVICE EVER. The host Nevaeh also doesn’t have a clue what she’s doing! Won’t be back!

Good food nice waitress French onion soup was awesome.
We walked in at dinner time on a Sunday evening. Had a 20 minute wait even though most of the tables were empty. Half the tables had not been bused and there was trash all over the floor. I would have normally walked out, but my elderly parents wanted to stay. Our waiter was nice, but never brought the little extras that we asked for more than once, like napkins and extra olives for my drink. My husband went to the bar to get it himself. The table of 6 next to us got great service because they were friends with the bartender and he kept bringing them drinks and food every couple of minutes with the help of extra staff on top of that. We couldn't even get a napkin. The nachos we ordered were almost completely bare, so we asked f
or extra cheese and were told it was an up charge. I doubt the kids at the next table would have been charged after seeing the fries overflowing from their plates. We won't be back...unless we somehow become friends with an employee..lol
The food was alright. My pasta was dry, it sat under a warmer for too long, but the chicken was good. My mudslide wasn't full, felt a bit ripped off considering the price.
Excellent food!
Friendly service!
Fun atmosphere!
NO COMPLAINTS!
We will be back!
The manager Pete and the bartender Taylor were absolutely amazing! Great personalities for sure!! Very attentive and just so welcoming!! Thank you guys!!!
