Horrible experience. The bartender cut me off at THREE drinks because he thought I wasn't able to speak correctly when I have a accent that come out sometimes. I have a Polish accent and English is NOT MY first language!!! Worse service ever!!!

Recently went to eat at this location with 3 other people food was great but service was not. The two host in the front were wonderful and so helpful but when it came to the server named Danielle complete horrible experience. She was extremely rude to us and very racist. This is not the first time I've seen her, last time she wasn't our server but we saw her drinking alcohol while working. Feel like you shouldn't be working in a restaurant establishment when you can't pick and choose who enters to enjoy there time and eat but end up feeling very uncomfortable when your server is racist to you and your group.

I wish I could give 0 stars. The customer service in this place is seriously lacking and the service is horrible. My husband and I dined here on Sunday around 4:30pm.The host a heavyset white guy was rude like rolling his eyes and had a don't give a crap attitude. He was impatient with me because I was walking with a cane and could not walk fast. He told me follow me I'm tired and might pass out. I should have took that as a red flag. We waited and waited for the server. We had to ask 2 servers if someone can please take our order. Our server finally showed up didn't even get his name as he never introduced himself. He was a black guy I'm not sure but I think his name was Javier. Looks like he was really pissed and angry because we needed to place our order. He had a really nasty attitude and I mean really nasty.We ordered and he didn't say anything just took our menu and walked away and never came back with our food or to check on us. Not once did he approach our table. No refill on drinks . NOTHING.
At this point I wanted to bring this situation to the attention of the manager. He was an Indian guy. But looking at him he looked like he hated his life as well and looked overwhelmed. We just paid and left our food as even the food was bland.This was the worst dining experience and I mean worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant. Now I know why so many Applebee's closed down. I would advise people to save yourself the frustration of a horrible dining experience and take your business where it's appreciated.

This location has the worst service ever. We had to wait to be seated, and we had to wait for the food more than 45 minutes to serve the appetizer, and 25 minutes to serve the drink. Decided to leave with zero tip. The servant is SOLOMAN. If he ever become your servant, ask to change him. The worst ever

The server Xavier was great and dealt with all our requests with a smile. My sassy little grandmother left happy. We came in about 1pm on a Thursday which was surprisingly busy. Food was salty but I’m sure thats an apple bees problem. Thanks for a great lunch

I don’t expect much from Applebees, but even with low expectations this one is bad. Primarily the staff, went by today, and the male host was incredibly rude. Apparently we disrupted whatever he was doing on his phone and he had no problem letting us know we were inconveniencing him…

Hubby and I enjoyed a fine lunch. Great service. Dined on nicely grilled and tasty bourbon chicken/shrimp as well as delicious fish and chips. Nice atmosphere too.

Do not let the bad reviews fool! Maybe it was bad then, but the place is good now. Haven’t been to an Applebees in years. Have never thought of coming to one either. Showed up off a recommendation from a friend. The food was great. And the specialty cocktails were surprisingly good as well! Our server Michael was the GOAT. Great service in a timely manner. Manager came to the table too. He was very nice and professional as well. The atmosphere is a bit on the darker side and quiet- but I think it’s just right. We will definitely be coming back!!
