Applebee's Grill + Bar

My friends and I came in for Valentine’s and I am definitely happy with our restaurant choice.
The highlight of the night was our server, Ashlee. She was so incredible, very attentive and so sweet. She genuinely made the dinner and was one of the most friendly and helpful servers I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.
I really enjoyed my food (the Cajun salmon with mashed potatoes and broccoli), and the drinks were delightful. The only reason I say 4/5 over 5/5 is because the food did take a little while to get to us, though of course this is more than understandable on a holiday.
Overall, a great experience and we will definitely be back.

Ordered three meals and a app... All were very greasy. On the plus side, Staff was friendly and there's plenty of sitting area. No wait.

We like the fact that you can go to an Applebee's anywhere and you know what you can expect. Good food, good drink options. Predictable quality. We have our favorites and are always pleased.

Dec. 27 2024, where to start the waiter mixed up the order, Substitutes had to be made after food was ordered, 35min wait for drink refills, 30 min wait just to pay cuse there was no staff on the floor they were all in the kitchen, the manager said she discounted the meal but charged us the whole bill, and to top it all off the staff were yelling across the restaurant infront of customers, fighting about there plans after closing.

With a nearly empty restaurant, we waited an hour for our food.The food was good,but honestly i was ready to leave without eating, sitting there as long as i did with no food. And I would have been totally understanding if the place was busy but it was almost empty. For having good tasting food the place left a bad taste in my mouth.

We ordered simple salads, a burger and a chicken dish extremely long wait for food to arrive at the table
. Waitress was distracted
.Appears to be short staffed. Will not recommend this restaurant.

Parking: Columbia MO restaurant needs a chef and waitress training immediately.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy to place at the end of a table

Food was pretty good. Service was ok, waitress barely spoke to us the whole time. Atmosphere is worst part. Dated dining area, disgusting carpet, seats are probably 30 years old and place needs major improvements. Probably won't eat here again.

We went in when there was only one group in front of us waiting. We were told it would be a 15-20 minute wait. We waited for OVER 40 minutes and were still told it’ll be 15-20 minutes when we asked again. We understand that there are smaller groups that can get in faster, but there was literally 7 groups that came in after us and still got in before us. We would’ve been much more understanding if they told us the wait was longer or that they could seat us in smaller groups (which we were willing to do). It gets to a point that if you’re letting all the smaller tables, you’re not getting any of the larger tables in. The management handled the business of the holidays awfully. My family wasted a rare day that we’re all together on waiting here and not even getting a table.

I always enjoy a nicely prepared steak and shrimp with no second guessing my choice. Easy on the pockets. Great appetizers. Definitely recommend as a favorite spot to eat.

Deja was my server, and let me tell you, she is AMAZING!!! She was covering my table as well as two others, PLUS the bar, PLUS managing the floor staff .. all with smiles and friendly conversation and quick service. Made my very long day and drive into town soooooo much better.
Thank you, Deja!!
