Applebee’s

Sadly, this restaurant is actually still open. The worst dining experience possible. My steamed vegetables were actually completely raw… as in still cold from the fridge and my steak was not fit to eat. I can honestly say, my dog wouldn’t eat it. Seriously. Out-​of-​towners, please pick anywhere other than here to eat.

The worst Applebee’s ever. The staff is constantly changing, which is probably why the service is so terrible.
Food is not good.
Service is terrible.
The orders usually come out to the table incorrectly.

Always ask for Nicky. She is a great waitress. I only ever order the two for twenty, with barbecue or mild boneless wings, and the oreintal chicken salad fried. Sometimes a different cook is in the back, and you get super small portions though, so be careful. Other then that, love this apple bees.

Went there for Dinner on Nov 7^th with my dad and brother.
Sat in the bar area and had a really cute short black waitress.
She had a large area to cover but she had a really great attitude and service.
I wish I remembered her name.
We decided to go back on Sunday the 9^th for dinner before heading back home the next day and it was horrible. There was a young black man named Eric with long dreadlocks who was absolutely the rudest person you could have as a host and another black girl who kept pressing on her eyelashes to make sure they stayed on then touching the silver wear as they argued over who would seat the guest.
I actually had to offer to clean the table they were going to seat us at because the two host said it was not their job, and the girl handed me the rag to bus my own table.
Julie was our waitress and she was incredible as the first young lady.
We visit Laurel every year for Veterans Day and usually enjoy Applebee’s and we were so disappointed by the two host on duty that evening.

This was quite possibly the worst dining (if one can call it that) experience of my life. The restaurant gives new lows to the serving and preparation of meals. We were staying across the street so it seemed easy — little did we know that our «waitress» after having ample time (long enough for all the beverages on the table to be dry) and with the assistance of most other waitresses on staff came back and proudly announced our order was in. We should have gone then but low blood sugar threw off our good judgement. When the food was placed on the table all three burgers were burnt beyond recognition and my wife’s small steak and wedge salad well was so remarkable i actually took a picture. I have seen small chicken tenders larger than the steak — the onion slice was larger. But then the color — while our burgers were burnt, the steak took on a raisanish quality. It was petrified, black, and lifeless on the plate. We found the spinach under the onion and it looked worse than a bagged salad sitting on the beach for a week. Needless to say, we will not go back. Truly I wish i could put a warning label on the front sign. This «restaurant» brings for me a whole new low to dining. The regrettable thing is that the people around us were expereincing problems equally except for one large table that knew the waitress — but their speedy service still only resulted in the most unappetizing of presentations.

I am not a fan of Applebee’s in general. Really, the only time I eat at one is in Laurel because there is such a distinct lack of other restaurants. There have been some trips where I’ve eaten here every night. But, my advice is go somewhere else if you can. Even one of the multitude of fast food joints on the same street. Hey, I think there’s a Sonic right next door. Go there.
The food was utterly forgettable. I ordered the steak and shrimp off the low calorie menu. There wasn’t anything distinctly wrong with it, but it was an odd combination that lacked flavor and wasn’t satisfying.
The service was horrible. I was alone on business, so asked for a table for 1. Where do they put me? Right next to the front door, next to the host/​hostess stand where multiple employees congregated throughout my meal, and next to a table full of employees on a break or just leaving their shift. With all the employees in the building you think my service would be fantastic, yet I was mostly ignored or bumped into. My actual server was friendly enough, but it did not make up for the whole miserable experience.
Trust me, McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Sonic, anything will be better than this Applebee’s.

Not really recommended. I was staying at a hotel nearby, so I went there for dinner one night. I had a California shrimp salad, which wasn’t impressive at all. The avocado inside was not fresh at all…
