Before we walked in the outside smelled of sewer and then inside it was smelly too. No one was at the bar we attempted to find a seat at the bar that was clean and nowhere was it clean and no one was there…we addressed the bar tender and she had to walk to the front door to get a bar rag to clean the bar counter…something is wrong here. We asked for draft beer and she stated all drafts were not working and our choice of beer were their bottle beer of not much better that corona or bud…I have not words except we walked out.

Excellent food and great service. However the building is badly in disrepair. Both entry doors are damaged, booths have tears in them, carpet is filthy, ceiling tiles are warped, stained and woodwork needs spruce up.

My family spent $90 on 4 take out meals for dinner last night. They forgot to include 2 side dishes and got one of the side dishes wrong. My bourbon street steak had so much salt on it I couldn't eat the mushrooms or onions and I had to cut off the outer part of the steak to even choke down a few bites. The rest of the meal went to waste. Not to mention, there was no garlic sauce included.

We called the restaurant and requested a partial refund for the side dishes we paid for but didn't receive (not even mentioning the incorrect side or the mostly inedible meal I attempted to consume since they were technically included in the order). However, the woman we spoke to outright refused, claiming "their system doesn't allow them to do that."

This may have actually been the worst experience I've had with a restaurant before.

For some reason there was a terrible smell inside. Almost unbearable.

I called 30 minutes early to be on the waiting list for Christmas Day. THEY WERE NOT BUSY and PLENTY of sitting places. One, the " person " who greeted us said we were not on a waiting list and all the empty tables were for Togo orders. I have cooked for multiple years and this was my very first time to ever go eat for the holidays.. It was absolutely ridiculous. Extremely disappointing.

This place need to be torn down or gutted. It smell like they have a serious mildew problem. The food was ok . The thr people in our group pasta was dried had to ask for more alfredo sauce. The chicken tenders and sandwich could of been better. Would not recommend this place until they do something like update and get the smell out.

The bathroom is leaking sewage and is moldy, you will notice the smell the moment you walk in the door. Ordered the nachos. The ground beef was cold. They put raw jalapeños on them. Who puts raw jalapeños on nachos? Disgusting smell, disgusting food. I got food poisoning from their mozzarella sticks as a kid and haven’t visited in nearly 20 years.

If the owner is too cheap to hire a plumber, and let sewage seep into the carpet to save a buck, imagine what cost cutting shortcuts they are doing to your food.

This was my first time back in 20 years, I should’ve listened to my childhood self. I hope my girlfriend doesn’t get food poisoning from the cold ground beef.

I can not give a proper review being that we waited roughly 30 minutes before we received our drinks which were contaminated by the bartender's hair. After nearly two hours of waiting for our food which had still not begun the process of being prepared, I cashed out and left.

You're only getting 3 stars because our waitress was great. The food was cold and unflavored. The restaurant smells kinda weird too, we should have left but I didn't want to embarrass my group. Applebee's please upgrade this building is pretty bad.

I rarely post any negative comments. This was a disaster from opening the door. The smell of old grease and sewer was repulsive. My first mistake was not turning around at that moment. It was about 2 p.m. on a weekday and after waiting for about 5 minutes no one ever came to seat us so we took flatware and a menu and sat ourselves in the bar area. Not 1 employee in sight on the floor. I could hear them laughing and talking behind the door to the kitchen so I finally went to the door and asked for service. The drinks were very good. It was all you could eat wings and we ordered boneless and our choice of flavor. When they arrived I took a bite to discover they were both soured and uncooked in the middle. The manager gave a very light apology and removed them from the tab. I have been in this business from fast food to very high end restaurants and I would've comped the entire tab for such a disaster. 2 drinks and 1 order of wings but he did not. We will NEVER go to another Applebee's anywhere. Do NOT visit this store.
