Food Suggestions to Maintain Cholesterol Level at Applebee's
Food and drink is great. I'll give them that. But the atmosphere at times is not conducive to the family environment you would like to think exist at Applebee's. There have been two occasions at this restaurant that rowdy consumers using profanity freely and loudly have interrupted my family's outing. And speaking to management did nothing. I'd still visit, but not with my kids anytime soon. I do enjoy the live music they offer from time to time.

This place was disgusting! 1) The plates were fitly, I found piece of lemon in my drink that wasn't mine. (I ordered sprite and we did not have lemon on the table at all. 2) We ordered the spinach artichoke dip and it looked like liquid vomit. 3) After my waitress Megan switch my drink to the togo cups due to the dirty cup(see number 1), I found 2 bugs floating on my cup. I told that to this other waitress and the hostess, they were just kind of like, oh, well. Sorry, can't really do anything. Um.. thanks. Now my stomach is killing me and will never ever returned to this place again. I would like for the health inspection people to check this kitchen out.

Really disappointed. Met two friends here for drinks and apps. I ordered spinach dip with carrot sticks and celery. The veggies were pretty bad. The carrots had a white powdery coating on them. My friends ordered these Asian dumplings and they came out in one large clump. Our waitress was nice but not knowledgeable and several items we ordered were no longer available though clearly listed on the menu. I won't be going back to this location.

Food was excellent, but our waitress was one of the worst my wife and I have ever had. It took a long time for everything. We waited to place our order, waited to get our salad, waited to get our food and to top it off waited for at least 10 minutes after finishing our meal before we got the check. Oddly enough, when our food was eaten and the plates were stacked, she came by and asked, "are yall still doing alright?" Clearly our food was finished, but she was unobservant and oblivious. I'd come back, but would pray to get a different waitress. Food was amazing, do takeout if you can.

Out of mint, so unable to order Mojito. Settled for pomegranate marguerite which was actually quite good. Ordered cheese sticks. Standard frozen that you can get anywhere cheese sticks. Would have been okay except for the strange aftertaste of the marinara sauce. Got our drinks and plates to go with the cheese sticks about 5 minutes after they were served to us. Ordered sirloin with Parmesan shrimp, garlic mash, and exchanged vegetables for stuffed Portabella mushroom. Also ordered Caesar salad. Yes, I know this is a chain, but each place is different even if they have the same menu. The steak was overly tough. I ordered medium rare. The garlic mash was cold by the time I got the butter I had ordered WITH it, but had to ask for again. The Parmesan shrimp on the steak were great. The best choice was exchanging the vegetables for the stuffed Portabella mushroom. It was amazing. I was actually pleasantly surprised. At the table, they had tablets for the customer place their order, but you cannot order alcohol from it. When we got tired of waiting for the waitress to show up, my husband started to attempt to order our appetizer from it, but she finally arrived before he sent it. This was a good thing as she stated that the kitchen would have kicked it to the back of the line. The convenient thing about the tablet was being able to pay at the table with a credit card rather than waiting around for the waitress to bring the bill and take your card off with her. Over all atmosphere was loud, under staffed, and slow with food coming out.

Applebee's has always been one of my favorite places to eat; I went to the bar to just grab a quick lunch a a few drinks with some friends. My bartender Misty ( I believe that was her name), did not greet us, ask us w hat we wanted to drink nor even the normal " hey, I'll be with you guys shortly". It took about 10 mins for her to get or drink orders, food was cold and when I asked to fix it she huffed and puffed and rolled her eyes. Towards the end of our meal she was talking to customers about how she can't wait to go home and how everyone has been tipping bad. I found it to be very unprofessional. I was so disappointed and upset about my experience I have refused to go back.

Yes it is an Applebee's. The food and service is good. The later it gets the atmosphere changes more to a club/drinkers establishment. But with the lack of decent places to go it's understandable.

I noticed this one of the few chains that the food is very consistent @ every location in every state. The location was near ft benning army base. SO they had great drink specials. Alot of well drinks for $2 - $3 bucks during happy hour or during the game.

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.
