Applebee's in Mcallen

“May 30 2025
Visited Applebee's today with the fam. We all decided to try the all you can eat special and we also had the sampler. The chicken tenders were good the shrimp was ok, did not try the ribs. The service could have been better, she was not bad but she took a while to check up on us. We went like at 5:30pm and the place was not full which I like so the atmosphere was great. I would go again for sure but get another waitress.“

“James was our server and he was honestly an amazing man made us feel very welcomed and we had great conversations with him. The food was great so I rate it 5 stars the only problem was the atmosphere as in the bartender came up to me and my bf to complain about the drink we had she said and I quote “ did you just get that drink cause it’s not even you’re and she proceeded to walk away upset” the drink we had gotten from our server James was the correct order so what Order what the bartender talking that she felt the need to interrupt me and my bf meal to complain. And if it the drink we had wasn’t the correct one then why did it take her 30 minutes to just pour it for us since it was just a simple beer. I proceed to see her act rude and point at me and my boyfriend while she was complaining to another server that was working the cocktail area. I found this very unprofessional and rude how dear this bartender feel the need to not only take 30 minutes to pour are beer but to come up to use after are server dropped it off just to say it wasn’t the right one when she didn’t even ask what kind of beer it was that we had so she just assumed it wasn’t correct I found her very rude and I would understand if she was busy but it’s wasn’t so she had no excuse for being as rude as she was. But overall we loved our server James he was amazing and I would definitely come again just to have him as my server“
