Applebee's Grill + Bar

Food came out hot and fresh and everything Taste about right.

Completely bummed out I have been out of town and was really looking forward to a steak dinner so I ordered myself the brew pub, pretzels and cheese dip and 8 ounce sirloin with a salad and onion rings and a brownie bite. I asked for A1 on the side and didn’t realize there wasn’t any until I got home Which might’ve been OK except for I asked for the steak to be medium well and it was more of a medium rare so definitely more bloody than I like, and I might have been able to hide the taste with A1, but unfortunately couldn’t do that so I really did not enjoy it and the onion rings were pretty soggy ☹️

Had not been to Applebee's for a long time. Ate the spinach artichoke dip with tortillas as appetizer. Was delicious and cheesy on top. For dinner I ordered the Asian chicken salad. It was a nice size meal with breadstick. Excellent dressing. I will order again and highly recommend. Made with green and red cabbage, therefore full of fiber and filling.

The food was delicious. Chicken Wonton Tacos and Honey Pepper Chicken 3 Cheese Penne pasta are my favs on the menu. I ordered the pasta this time, and it was delicious.

One thing I have to point out with this visit: To the owner/ GM whoever- your servers, hosts, etc. do a great job but mannnnnn they look so tired and are severely overworked. I can tell the place was short staffed. I can tell they were drained (and trust me, they were still giving great service and working hard non-stop). This doesn't reflect on them, it reflects on the top "dawgs" in charge. Please do better for your staff. They are working so hard with very little help and deserve the recognition of that.

I will say, they do an amazing job with teamwork too (with the very few people that were working last night). Everyone had each other's back, which should be something management should absolutely be proud of.

So that's the reason why the overall rating was 4 stars, with the service category being 3 stars.

Otherwise, it was a great visit with a couple friends after a long day of hiking. Thanks for having us!

Subject: Empty Tables, Endless Wait - Applebee's Macedonia, OH is a Disappointment
I recently attempted to dine at the Applebee's in Macedonia, Ohio, and it was a truly frustrating experience. Upon arrival, I was told there would be a 45-minute wait. Now, I understand restaurants can get busy, but what I witnessed was utterly baffling.
The restaurant was far from packed. In fact, numerous tables were completely empty. It was blatantly obvious that the issue wasn't a lack of space, but a severe shortage of staff. I watched as bewildered patrons waited aimlessly, and the few servers on hand struggled to keep up.
To be told to wait 45 minutes when there were clearly available tables is simply unacceptable. It's a sign of poor management and a complete disregard for customer's time. If you're short-staffed, either close off sections of the restaurant or find a way to manage the flow of customers more efficiently. Don't leave people standing around for nearly an hour when they can clearly see open tables.
This Applebee's location appears to prioritize understaffing over customer satisfaction. I left without eating, and I won't be returning. If you're looking for a reliable dining experience, I strongly suggest you look elsewhere. This location is a complete waste of time.

I had my food delivered it was still hot steak mad perfect side dishes where great I will be a repeat customer
