"Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in..." I will start with that quote. I didn't want to give another bad review of food places here, but this location asked for it. My beautiful Wife and I decided to go to applebees and use a BOGO coupon. Here we go. First the place has gone to crap in looks and quality. This location lately has had a horrible smell of sewage or lack of cleaning in the restrooms. I've smelled truck stops better that this. To start my wife ordered a white wine, her glass was dirty. We ordered wings (which in the past were better than other wing places.) I ordered them extra extra extra crispy (like we like them), well they came back soggy and raw, blood dripping after taking a bite. Also ordered a bacon cheeseburger with smokehouse sauce or someth

It's always something, every time we go, there is always a problem. Whether there is no a/c, no servers, bad servers, food was wrong or cold. We haven't eaten there in almost a year and we decided to order online. My husband was going to use the 'grab n go' and they told him they won't go out after dark. So he needed to wait inside (understandable), but now its been an hour since we ordered and still haven't gotten our food. They are busy and only have 2 servers. (I suppose they are short staffed in the back as well.) I was hoping to have a better experience this time since its been so long and we have heard better things. Most likely will cancel our order if its not ready soon and they haven't updated us. If the food comes out fresh then I will revise this post, but I doubt it.

⭐️ 1 Star (only because I’m required to give one) A group of us went to Applebee’s after work last night and arrived at 10:45 PM, well before their posted closing time of 12:00 AM. We stood at the front for about 10 minutes waiting to be seated, with no acknowledgment at all. Eventually, the manager told us they had “run out of food” and still had several to-go orders to complete, and essentially refused to serve us. The interaction was rude and dismissive, with no attempt to be accommodating or apologetic. It made us wonder if we were treated differently because we work across the street at Jalapeño’s Tree — regardless, that should never affect customer service. On top of that, the restaurant itself was run down and dirty, which only added to the bad experience. Overall, the lack of pr

Did curbside to go they were late, ordered two fries they gave us two containers but not enough fries for one order, ordered a full rack of ribs gave half, but broke it in two. Then while going in to get it because they were unable to go out they made an assumption that it was our order based on skin color. All ready followed the link that they will give for leaving a poor review and no response.
