Applebee’s

Came in with family at 430pm. 80 percent seats open. They stick a 55 yo man on a high chair seat… literally had to climb up and on my chair. Steak nachos lacked flavor, after a few minutes soggy… food quality fair.

I would give it 0 stars of I could. We ordered two sirloins and both were dry, undercooked and full of gristle. They didn’t even offer to take anything of our bill. This was their last chance, we will not be back. The one on other side of town not bad, but this location SUCKS!!! Poor food and management

Applebee’s has rats!!! I’m serious I Found a whole rat in my Cobb salad. This in unacceptable and gross.

Applebee’s was voted as an official 2015 «Loved by UNOH Students» restaurant! Congrats, you’ve earned the UNOH students’ seal of approval!

Probably the worst spot to get a quick bite. I sat at the bar wanting to order food and saw all 3 servers walk away or the opposite direction. «Maybe they’re busy» BUT THERES NO ONE HERE EATING! So we got some lazy servers I get that but 3 of them doing nothing? Come the freak on… get them on customer service class because that’s how you get bad reports.

I have given this restaurant three chances, I am sad to say nothing changes, the service is very poor and the food is jus not good. We called corporate to let them know after the first experience, nothing happened, not a call, not a letter, we assumed they just do not care. A few month later, we tried again, same problem with service (slow, non attentive, like we are a bother because we came in, doesn’t listen), ordered food and it was not cooked right or the wrong order in general.
Believe me, this is one restaurant you want to skip, you will be happy you did!

Stopped in after seeing a concert given by Sweetie’s friend. Took him here for a snack afterward, because it was handy.
Apparently it’s a top spot in Lima, because it looked packed from the outside. Inside, there were a few tables, and things moved quickly. Service was excellent. The food, well, it was okay. We shared an appetizer sampler, and our friend had some kind of southwestern chicken. He loved it. The apps– wings, cheese sticks, quesadillas, chips with artichoke dip– were okay. The chips were very salty, the dip was great, and the cheese sticks and wings were just okay. The quesadillas were pretty good.

I try to avoid chain restaurants as much as possible, but living in Lima, its hard to do.
On Veteran’s Day, some places offer a free meal to vets. My boyfriend and I thought we’d give Applebees a shot, but knew to have no expectations. It was beyond horrible.
He ordered shrimp. The waiter came back 5 minutes later to say they were out.
His next choice was a steak, medium rare. The steak came out gray, not seared, pink all the way through, and just looked awful. The baked potato looked like it had been microwaved and topped with about a cup of sour cream.
I ordered the cowboy burger. This probably would’ve been alright if the bottom bum was not completely soggy, and the burger had more than a couple drops of bbq sauce. The lettuce on the burger was approximately 2 inches in diameter, and completely white. Anyone who’s ever worked in a kitchen should know you don’t serve that shit. Lettuce is not white.
Even the mountain dew was horrible. Watered down, I’m not sure, just all wrong.
The ONE good thing, was our appetizer. We got the potato twisters, because I figured it was foolproof. You can’t possibly mess up slicing a potato and frying it. These were good, though overpriced.
Applebees. Never again.

Clean restaurant. Great service. food was good. They remodeled the restaurant and it looks great.

Sad to say that Applebee’s was my favorite place to eat growing up in cincinnati but the two here in lima are not what the franchise had in mind when opening in lima. One makes me sick and the other has the worst service I have ever seen from both the front and the back of the house. Will never eat here again.

Terrible. The only thing good about this place was paying the check and leaving. Beer was stale. Food was unbelievably salty and overcooked (shrimp in my case, steak in my companion’s case). I’ve had fast food more appetizing than this, and the service was not great.
I’m not sure what draws people to this place. It’s not worth coming back to. Next time I’m going to Captain D’s.

There is nothing worse than waiting over an hour for a REALLY bad meal… Except maybe having to pay for it!
I honestly don’t believe that the oil in the fryer has been changed in months. Our mozzarella stocks were gross as were the onion rings and fries that accompanied our meals.
The waitress poured our drinks and then left them on the wait station near our table while she helped several other tables before handing our drinks to us. My «frozen» lemonade was not so frozen by the time I finally received it.
We had an 8 year old with us and it took 15 minutes to get him a kids menu.
I ordered the bruschetta chicken and while I will say the chicken was moist, what it came served on resembled something a dog threw up after eating too much grass and straw. It was horrible! The sight and smell of it made me lose my appetite!
I know it’s Applebee’s, so I shouldn’t expect anying gourmet, but edible shouldn’t be too much to ask for.
Never again!!! Atrocious!!!

Riblets are amazing. Everything else sucks.
I stupidly ordered a chuck steak with baked potato and a Caesar salad.
The steak essentially was a salty chunk of overcooked ground beef covered in a few sauteed onions and mushrooms. And the Caesar salad looked like someone had sneezed into a box while scarfing a chicken wrap. Just look at the picture!
