Ordered the two for $25 meal. Our appetizer came out fine. Then our food came out. I had ordered the chicken parm fettuccine, which came out with penne noodles. I let that slide, but then I took a bite and it was barely warm so I sent it back. By the time they brought a new plate out to me my partner was done eating. So I spoke to the manager and told her I no longer wanted it because my partner was finished eating. Really no point in dining out if you can’t enjoy the meal together. So the manager agreed to take it off of our bill. The bill was more expensive because she charged us full price for the appetizer and his meal. Are you kidding me? Typically, you’d comp for the appetizer or something. She clearly needs more training. We will definitely not return to this place.

If you come bring your light coat. And we had the steak and mashed potatoes. The potatoes were lukewarm. I didn’t complain because I didn’t want it put in a microwave when it should have been hot in the first place. We will not be back.

I do not like to give negative reviews. It was 4th of July but this place was a disaster. From the first gal who served us then the next two after that to the food and drinks just not good. I truly hope this isn't how this place is all the time. Was brought an overflowing milkshake and no napkins. The appetizer was probably the best part of this experience.

We were seated right away, the service was great, food was good, but it was so cold in there. My food got cold before I finished. I definitely would have enjoyed it much better if it wasn't so cold.

HEAVY HAUL “Heavy Haul Jesus” JESUS
Most disgusting Applebee's ever. You stick to everything you touch. Wasn't sure who the patrons and who the workers were with so many walking behind bar and kitchen then sitting back down. The tables that were dirty when we walked in were still dirty when we left. The buffalo wings I got must of been the bottom of the bag. Never seen pieces and crumbs served as boneless wings..wonton taco shells were all busted up just held together by the tray they're served in. The blue moon beer tasted like boiled pee. Undrinkable. The only good thing was the kid with very short bleached blonde hair was working his tail off.

We had a group of 18 at 7:30pm on a Saturday night. We were at another restaurant close by and we're told it was a 40 minute wait, at least. We walked over to this Applebee's and they were instantly accommodating. We were seated in less than 5 minutes, even though they were very busy also. Service was amazing and the food was hot, fresh and delicious. Great place and we appreciated the great service!!

The bartenders are awesome and are the reason I keep going in,, plus the food is great!
I am very low maintenance but this was just bad. I ordered a meal at the bar at 9pm- I was the only one at the bar. Your bartender (Daniel?- kid with hat on backwards) appears to give zero cares about his job. When he wasn't cutting fruit, he was on his phone (a lot). No refills, long delay to take an order (then says oops and just walks to his kiosk and stairs at me), no checking in ever, no refills (although said he would get one but never did), no silverware, then no condiments (he gave me the food and left before I could say a word nor did he say anything at all). Waited for a while for my bill after finishing food (and still no refill at all) so I just asked for my bill. He slaps it down and doesn't say a word.

We had a great waitress who was able to take good care of us through the time we were there. However the food was probably the worst we have ever had at an Applebees. My wife's chicken was burnt to a crisp, but she peeled off the top layer to get rid of the charred parts. My steak first came out with a massive fat chunk in the middle. It was supposed to be Medium, but was overdone and leaking a clear liquid from the fat chunk. I sent it back and the next steak came out tough as could be, overcooked and just not good. The waitress at the time also agreed it didn't look good and took care of it on the bill.
So overall, great service, good drinks, cook was having a bad day and supplier dropped off some majorly sub-par steaks. Another day could have been a 5 star day, but we probably will make a different choice next time through town.

Hanging on by a thread ...service tanking, marginal food, stale atmosphere. I'd recommend looking elsewhere
