“Stopped here for supper. WOW!!! Nice atmosphere. Food Very Good. Waitress made sure our glasses were filled and checked on us several times. Well worth the money. Will be going back there.“

“So glad this place did open back up after the fire. I eat here often and only ever had 1 bad meal. Service is hit and miss but usually just 2 specific servers that seem to always be overwhelmed or just don't like to serve anyone in Trump attire. But the establishment is very good price and food is spectacular 👌“

“I went there today for the first time, I've read the reviews, some good and some not so good. But I had a great meal and my friend did too. Plenty of food, our server Ricky was wonderful, one of the best servers I've ever had. Everyone was very friendly. The place was very clean and a nice atmosphere. I would definitely go again.“

“The team from Old Carolina Barbecue Company were at our venue again last night and as usual provided stellar service. This was the second time this summer. In June catering was provided by Joseph, Gavin, Chase and Abby, and last night we had Tanner, Shannon, Chase and Abby. Both times they were timely, efficient and professional, and also added extra services like moving things around to serve appetizers outside, cutting and serving multiple cakes and leaving the kitchen spotless! All these things from a venue's perspective are so important. From the guests' perspective, of course, is the question "was the food good?" Yes it was! So good! They received many compliments. Great job guys! Thanks again!“

“I have been there a few times and it never disappoints. The homemade lasagna is to die for . The spaghetti was the proper proportion and just wonderful in taste and texture. I have been there for a couple breakfast and everything was really good. I do also want to add about the atmosphere, and the people that work there they are funny attentive to our needs and pleasant to everybody. This is a must go to restaurant.“

“I have to say, this was one of thee best experiences @ Longhorn. I drove in to dine here and it was not a wasted trip. Unfortunately, the steak and lamb chops that were ordered weren't cooked properly for steakhouse expectations; however, the manager Mike!!! Listen he took care of it is all I will say. Let me not forget Brooke, our server, because had it not been for her communicating our displeasure, Mike wouldn't have known to be SO accommodating. Good Sunday dinner. Drove back home with a smile 🤗“

“We are a *BIG* family... and some days are hard. Tonight after days of being sick and 3 of our littles going out to eat after wrestling, I can promise I wasn't in the mood.... for anything. But God sent the sweetest stranger to give me a pep talk and proof that all of humanity hasn't gone down the drain!
You know who you are and just thank you so much for your understanding and kind note... Lord knows I needed that.
I will forever say that the Wadsworth Applebee's is one in a million!“

“Cool spot, it was PACKED when we got there but the food still came out quickly my Roma burger was nothing special but my wife got the fish dinner and it was very good and enough for both of us so it didn't matter about my burger. The prices were fair and we will definitely return. Also the table next to us got wings that looked and smelled awesome.“

“We had not been to an Applebee's in many years and they honestly did an amazing job and the food was incredible. We had a gift card and decided to stop in for a quick bite to eat and definitely glad we did the burgers there are amazing and my girlfriend got the back and cheese with with some honey pepper chicken tenders on top and it was absolutely phenomenal. Our server also did a great job especially considered they were very busy that day.“

“We visited to celebrate my son’s birthday, and the experience truly stood out. Our server was warm, attentive, and went above and beyond to make the occasion special. She asked if we were celebrating anything and then thoughtfully arranged for the staff to come over and sing “Happy Birthday,” which my son absolutely loved.

What impressed me most was the personal touch—they even gave him a handwritten card signed by the staff. It felt genuine and heartfelt, not just routine. The level of care and attention to detail made his day unforgettable. Highly impressed with the service and the effort they put into making guests feel special.“

“Anyone from the region is certainly familiar with this concept. When they were bought out by Golden gate capital a long time ago you could tell that the quality of the original hometown restaurant disappeared in favor of a more corporate and streamlined environment. Everyone knows about their unique sausage and the sausage gravy and biscuits which are widely available even in grocery stores and are decent for what they are. I personally use some of the sausages that are available in grocery stores for certain recipes that call for it. I'm old enough to remember what it was like in the early days and it was really something special back then. Kind of like when Pizza Hut still had a salad bar and a person actually got outstanding service and it was something to look forward to going to. That's how Bob Evans is today. A shadow of what it once was. Still there and still okay but not what it once was.“

“Just went here today just terrible got the turkey and stuffing. and mashed potatoes . Turkey was cold stuffing was like hard rocks not the stuffing they used to have that was good mashed potatoes were ok . Nothing like leaving a restaurant and still being hungry and not satisfied. Will never be back. manager was on the other side never once looked our way not a good way to do business when socializing with others you know but ignore the other customers that our at a table“

“Good customer service from the shop to the fuel desk to the restaurant! Very clean store and facilities“

“We enjoyed another delightful evening at Oaks Lakeside last night. Eric created a Lucious desert with cherries and whip cream. A pie that was better than any we’ve had. We enjoy all the people who work at the Oaks and friends we meet. Another wonderful evening. Great view of the sunset !“
