Applebee’s

Ordered online and was greeted as soon as I walked in the door. The staff had a smile on their faces and very polite tones in their voices.
Quiet atmosphere with low key music and lighting. I sat at the bar waiting for my order and was offered a complimentary beverage while I waited, which was great.
They apologized for my wait and were extremely polite and courteous the whole time. Upon leaving the staff offered a cordial goodbye and a come again. Which I will be sure to do again for lunch.

I ordered take-​out from this restaurant, and I couldn’t be more disappointed. Prior to leaving the restaurant, I specifically asked the cashier were my eating utensils in the bag, and she said yes. I paid, gave her a tip, and left.
I was traveling, so I nearly exploded when there were no eating utensils in the bag. I wanted to drive back just to get a refund, but I had to leave. I ordered the Bourbon Street Chicken and Shrimp, but I have no idea what that dried up piece of chicken with three shrimp and a pinch of sauce on top of the chicken was. The potatoes were bland and crunchy. I also ordered the Spinach Dip, which was fine, but all of this for $ 30? Plus, I had to eat it with my hands and no napkins? I will not be choosing this location anymore because you just don’t get those things wrong. This isn’t a fast food restaurant.

Yo… first time here sat at the bar… the bartender (Holton) is off the hook… He was really into his job. Making crazy drinks and all… I’m honestly probly going to drive back from Columbia just because of him

I will not go back again, worst cook, worst staff, worst food ever

Honestly horrible experience… It took 10 minutes for the server to even greet us, another 15 just to get our drinks, it seems like this place will just hire anyone. Not to mention our server was kind of creepy… Everytime she finally decided to bring us something, she’d say «there ya go my babies, I’ll be right back my babies» … But ANYWAY, overall, not impressed with the service at all.

I can’t say enough about the service our family received tonight at Applebee’s. Outstanding is an understatement. Our server was extremely friendly the entire time. His name was «Mello» and even our kids enjoyed him. Our drinks and appetizers were brought out quickly and our glasses stayed filled. The food was great. When we go back hopefully we can ask for the same server! Nothing better than having a friendly server after a long day.

On Mondays during football season from 4pm to close, Applebee’s offers $ 6.99 burger and fries. They also offer half off appetizers during late aftenoons and late nights, twice a day. You would have to ask about the exact times because I’m not sure when they are exactly. The burger is a burger you choose off the regular menu. It’s a pretty great deal but they do not offer unlimited french fry refills anymore. That kind of sucks because Applebee’s fries are my favorite of any other. But what’s not to enjoy about a restaurant style $ 6.99 burger and fries. They are competing with all the fast food joints now!!! I will try to enjoy this deal as many times as I can before it ends!!!

The service and food quality at this location have been steadily declining in recent months. Last night, the restaurant was fairly empty. However, It took nearly ten minutes for our server to come to the table. I finally asked the hostess to please find our waiter/​waitress, so it’s unclear how much longer we would have sat waiting. Other staff saw me looking around but ignored that and kept walking.
As for the food, portion sizes have been reduced. We’ve noticed this at some other chain restaurants also. However the quality and amount of key ingredients have been affected as well. The Spinach Artichoke Dip appetizer is half the size it was. The Chicken Wanton Tacos are mostly carrots and lettuce, very little chicken– and the sauce on the tacos that makes them «wanton» is so minimal you can barely see or taste it. Now they are more like eating coleslaw tacos. The Fiesta Lime Chicken Salad no longer has black beans and the crunchy tortilla chip strings are minimal– key elements that made it fiesta and delicious.
The touch screen units on each table are a nice feature, but the surfaces of them need to be given a wipe down every time the table is cleaned.
On a positive note, the restaurant was recently renovated inside. It’s a shame the staff and food were not given an upgrade as well.

Had a few beers with the guys after work. It was OK !! Beers were good but service wasn’t great — waitress only served us once and never came back the whole time we were there.

For a couple beers and 2 entrees you are looking at 30 bucks easy.
The inside feels very chain like as in its clean and nondescript. They have added touch screen ordering to the tables which i an only guess was to make things even more impersonal and reduce the servers required at the same time. Seeing this we sat at the bar. And we still got slow impersonal service. The american standard burger was supposed to come with bacon lettuce cheese tomato and onion. Opening the bun all was seen was the cheese. The manager assured all was under the cheese. Yeah my eyebrow went up as well. Taking a bite you could taste bacon but what was odd was no bacon crunch no bacon bite to it at all. As for the other toppings no way was it under the cheese. I mean come on the lettuce tomato and onion is hiding under that single slice and even if it was who does that. What was determined was the sauce was bacon flavor with no real bacon being on the burger.
So in all the food was ok. The big problem is lieing. That burger was not made correctly. Again come on melted cheese hiding lettuce tomato onion bacon. I think not.

It’s the neighborhood bar and grill where staff is always friendly. I typically enjoy the 2 for $ 20 special for selected menus to include an appetizer, 2 entrees and dessert! Makes for a great date night for the beau and I especially when karaōke is thrown into the mix. If you just dropped in for fun and drinks they usually have a good selection for half off of appetizers and drinks after 9pm.
I deducted a star because of the service the last couple times. Again staff was friendly and it wasn’t super busy but somehow we were completely neglected. On one occasion the waitress brought our drinks and came back 20 minutes later for the order. It was wrong but I ate anyway. When the check arrived it too was wrong and we were charged individually for the 2 for $ 20 special. After I tired of waiting for her, I took it to the manager who corrected it. This past week was a joke. We were seated and I waffled on my choices for 30 minutes before we even met the waiter. He apologized and explained that his section was in the other side of the restaurant and he was given the two tables in our section at the last minute. I opted for the Crosscut Ribs but gave up halfway to give them to my dog. I guess in the time he was attending to other guests my food was in the warmer drying out. They have the three bones like a riblet — which I hate because it’s awkward eating them and carrying on a conversation without looking like a vulture on roadkill.
All in all its a hangout location for us and I’ll be back, just sticking to papas and spirits though.
