Absolutely love taking my kids to eat here! The food is amazing, they have a great kids menu and who can beat kids eat for .99 Tuesday and Thursday? Most places offer this one a week or their kids menu is limited to burger or chicken. The ONLY complaint I have is the fact they are unfortunately understaffed. Which puts obvious pressure on the existing servers. Despite being understaffed their efforts to amazing customer service don't go unnoticed here!

Very disappointed. I eat at Applebee's some, not a lot. The one thing you can usually count on is they are consistent. I had the pick 3 appetizers. Quesadillas were good. Won ton tacos had no sauce on them and the chicken was very dry. The pretzels looked like they had been over cooked the day before and tasted the same. When I picked my order up I stood at the side entrance with 2 waiters looking at me like they had never seen a customer. After waiting to see if they were going to speak I finally asked them where to pick up my call in order. They had to ask a third waiter because they had no idea. Bartender got my order and had to go back because she forgot my drink. Not that big of a deal but when you put all of the pieces together it was not a good experience.

The food was really good. We had the taco appetizers and the salmon and oriental chicken salad for dinner. The waitress and hostess were great too but the drinks from the bar were weak. The flavor of Bahamas Mamma and the Rum punch were yummy but I think the bartender forgot to put the RUM in the drinks!

Going to have a nice meal with my husband before the evening meal rush. Walked in and we were seated. .....but that was it. No one came to get our drink order or anything. Watched other people get waited on but all of the staff just walked right by us. No one addressed us. Finally got up and walked out

Let's talk about a chain resturant. Applebees there are wonderful recipes. It comes down to the cook/ chef and the wait staff. If it's your lunch break, fine, find someone to cover. Do not leave me there, alone for 30 minutes and think all is well. When asked what I thought of my meal, my response was over seasoned. My servers response was " oh well I told you the other was better". Really? Here for a week won't be going back there!!!!!

Had been outside in the sun at the CC watching our son's match. Didn't really want the CC food they were selling, so we headed in town. We found Applebee's and knew they stayed open late. The hostesses seemed a bit lost, but when we got seated, Maggie our server was not lost and found her way to the table and got our drink order. She was very pleasant and attentive. I got a southwest chicken salad and the family split a couple of pasta dishes. Everything was prepared just right.

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.
