Food Suggestions to Maintain Cholesterol Level at Applebee's
My husband and I decided to order in Applebee's one night and used their carside to go, so I went ahead and placed an order online. My husband ordered the classic cheeseburger, which came with lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles and instead of french fries substituted for onion rings. I myself, ordered the clubhouse grill which comes with ham, turkey, cheddar and jack cheese, bacon, lettuce , tomato and their signature Honey BBQ sauce. I ordered the clubhouse grill with no ham and no tomato with french fries. My son, ordered the shrimp linguine. After placing my order, it would be ready in 15 minutes. I live 15 minutes from Applebees, so I left pretty much right away. When I got there and parked in their car side to go, my son and I waited because they are supposed to bring the food out to you. We waited almost 20 minutes and no one came out with our food. I finally went inside, and spoke to the hostess to let her know that we were waiting at carside to go. She apologized and that it was the bartenders responsibility and that the bartender was busy and that's why our food wasn't brought out to us. Nevertheless, she brought out our food and I left and went home. When I got home and checked all the food, I was sorely disappointed and angry. My husband's burger was cooked well done, I had ordered it pink. It was plain! There was nothing with it! No tomato, lettuce, pickle, or onion! Plus, he only was given for onion rings! When I opened up the box with my food, there was no ham there was no Turkey only bacon and cheese!! Plus, they forgot my french fries! The only thing that didn't get screwed up, was my son's shrimp linguine. So I called, and spoke to the manager. She apologized, said she would we make the meal and apologized again that I had to drive back. When I arrived, the manager came out with our new food. She apologized once more and said thank you have a good night and walked back inside! Are you kidding me? She did not even offer to comp part of our meal she did not even offer to give us desserts she did not offer a gift card for our next visit. It was ridiculous and I will never go back to this Applebee's. There are many other places in the area that care about their customer service and their customers and I would be more than happy to give them our business. The only reason I rated 2 stars, is because the food itself was okay.

My wife and I have come here on several occassions, usually the service is great! The last time however was a bit ... horrible. The waitress had a nonchalant attitude and seemed just uncaring. Could have been having a bad day in which case I get it. We all have them. But tuck that away when you're at work. Our food was brought out to us and my fries were stale and cold.My veggies were still raw, and my burger was well over done. I know it sounds nit picky but if I'm paying for your service and food please do a better job and take care of us. Thank you in advance.

Went to Applebee's with my father while he was in town. He was already seated but the waiter quickly came to get my drink order which was really nice because they were busy and because I was SUPER thirsty. We went with options of that new menu they have where they give you two things for $10.99 or $11.99 depending on the item. Well I guess I got that, my dad got something else which he said was very good. I got the wedge salad and sirloin with potatoes - they were both really good and our waiter was quick and attentive. He gets a star all on his own. He was so busy and yet my water never got empty then we ordered something to go and asked for an "un-put together" philly burger and he made sure each part of it was separate. Great waiter good diner - I haven't been to Applebee's in a long time and I'm glad I went back.

Had a great waiter, but it's still just Applebee's. Nothing spectacular. Blackened tilapia with steamed vegetables was typical. This location seems better than most.

Wednesday Girls Night is great! Cheap Happy Hour drinks. 1/2 priced appetizers. Interestingly enough they changed their menu recently and removed our favorite app, the nachos!! Who removes nachos from a menu. We asked about them and they made them for us anyway. Bonus points for them - way to take are of your customers.

I've been going to this place for a few years now. Never really had any problems till last night. I went in to have a late dinner/ drink. I asked for a Sam Adams Summer Ale. They said they didn't have, only had the Sam Adams Winterfest. Borth bartenders starting making in fun of me only like Sam Adams Summer Ale. They also told well its getting colder outside, so everyone started getting Winterfest..Getting colder?? It's August. Cool,maybe but not cold. I went down the street, to another Applebee's. They had the Summer Ale. I guess the first one didnt want my business anymore. They also seemed like they didnt have any customer service skills. So forget them. I'm making the other place my new restraunt. I hope the ohter place goes out of business. I'm tell all my friends to avoid that place.

This place is disgusting!!! Highchairs have not been cleaned....ever??? The fish and chips was undercooked and slimy. The child's milkshake arrived with no lid, so needless to say that was spilled within minutes. Never received our appetizer. Only reason we even tried to eat at this place was a giftcard...the rest of that will be in the trash. You couldn't pay me to eat here again. Only reason this place is even in business is because of the poor souls who travel I-25 and need somewhere to eat that they recognize.

Best one in the metro area. We go there probably once a week and always get great food and amazing service (in Ramona's section--there are other good servers, but she's consistent and amazing). Yes, it's a chain, and a really good one!

Hello, I am a Yelp user and I have a problem -- I am addicted to Chicken Won Ton Tacos at Applebees. Holy God, they're amazing. I was never a fan of Applebee's and then we started going to this location, and I gotta say, they won me over. The atmosphere is great with their trivia, karaoke, and bingo nights. The food is amazing and comes out quick. The servers are always friendly and the bartenders are awesome. I've never gotten served a bad drink here. And a restaurant with jello shots? WINNING.

About Applebee's
Applebee is an American full-service restaurant brand popularly known for its signature Riblets. Applebee was conceptualized in 1980 by Bill and TJ Palmer in Atlanta, Georgia. At first, the restaurant was named T.J. Applebee's RX for Edibles and Elixirs. After the concept was acquired by W.R. Grace and Company, the restaurant was renamed as Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar. Later the company and the Applebee's concept changed hands with Abe Gustin and John Hamra who started the first Applebee's franchise restaurant in Kansas City.
Later in 2007, IHOP Corp. now known as DineEquity, Inc. acquired Applebee's and began their journey together to make Applebee's the world's largest full-service restaurant chain. Today, Applebee's serves at more than 1,830 locations worldwide. The Applebee's menu ranges from Appetizers and Salads to heavy meals consisting of ribs and steak.
