Foods to Avoid at Applebee's for High Cholesterol

    I am appalled at all the negative ratings for this very fine, affordable restaurant. My husband and I had lunch here last Thursday (9/10/2015) and were greeted immediately and pleasantly by two of the female wait staff. We were seated immediately by a window and our appetizer came out in a very timely manner. We ordered off the 2 for 1 menu and were completely satisfied with our meals. Our server, Andria, was terrific, friendly and efficient. She came by to see if we needed/wanted anything more several times. My husband had the steak and she suggested he cut into it to be certain it was medium as he'd ordered. I had the chicken, shrimp, mushroom combo and we both agreed they were delicious, hot and fresh. Also, the manager, Tony, came by to check on us, and other patrons. All in all, a very professional establishment. We will be back whenever we visit Hays again.

    Well as usual, every time I walk into an Applebee's , I get overwhelmed by a nasty mold, old wet garbage smell and this one is no different. Front door was dirty, greasy and it gives a bad impression from the start came in for lunch, I sat at bar, and Lisa the bartender was an older lady with no customer service what so ever. Lisa, you need a new job! Employees eating in bar area, then running to serve food after licking her fingers? Gross!! Bathroom was disgusting, gave me thoughts of Texas and Oklahoma. I'm writing off Applebee's all together. Same across many states.

    Stopped here heading west. Servers were friendly, although a little unprofessional. Ordered some nachos which were pretty bad -- had to ask for some salsa to put on them after the fact because they were so dry and hardly had anything on them. Mostly just a pile of chips with some cabbage and pork. Still, the place was clean enough and I'm sure some of their other food is better (?).

    Just drove 10 hours and was trying to have a nice meal. Walked in and was told to sit at the bar because I was a group of one person. Found an empty seat and had glasses clanking all around me, very noisy loud and uncomfortable tall chairs after sitting in a car all day. An older man walked in and sat right next to me although other seats were open and attempted to flirt with me. I wasn't helped with the menu when I couldn't find what I ordered the last time I was at an Applebee's (I guess they have changed the menu). Manager stood right by me and didn't offer to help or see if I needed anything. I just got up and left without even ordering. Rudest service ever! gives me a bad impression of this town!

    Sunday dinner, the place was moderately busy. Service was OK, but not good enough to get a refill on my tea. Food was marginal to acceptable. French Onion soup was a bit on the bland side. Grilled Chicken Ciabatta sandwich left a lot to be desired. The chicken was a bit over cooked but tasted OK, the Artichoke spread stuff had no taste. My father had the Salmon and it was burned on the bottom. His spinach veggi mix was disgusting. It looked like someone thawed out some frozen spinach and tossed it on the plate with some peas. I do know they were having some issues in the kitchen tonight. I walked by and heard someone getting after someone else for not doing something right. Lots of other places to eat if you are in a hurry passing through. I've been coming to this area for 18+ years. I would have done much better going across the street to Los Dos Oros Gold. Very good trad Mex food.

    We came to Hays for State wrestling, so we figured they would be pretty busy. Our wait was actually not long at all, 3 minutes tops. We had a kind waitress. My boyfriend ordered the fish and fries -- my sister ordered the 9 oz sirloin, Medium, with mashed potatoes -- I ordered a shrimp and sirloin parmesan steak, Medium, with a baked potato. The food didn't take long to come out, but my sister and I's steak were way underdone. We had to wait approx 15 minutes before the waitress came back to ask how the food was. I told her that both our steaks were way underdone, so she took them back to get new ones. The wait for those steaks were longer, probably due to the fact that they were packed by that time. The manager brought two new fresh plates and the steaks were cooked correctly. When I went to pay for the tab, I had seen that the steaks were not charged to our tab, which is something I was going to discuss with the manager anyway. I don't think we will be back to that Applebee's.

    Horrible experience there last night. We went there for a beer around 9 pm. Sara P. was our waitress. She has a HORRIBLE attitude. Crabby and downright rude. We asked for a manager and she refused to get us one. We were at the bar and she didn't belong there with that attitude. Our tab was $10.12 and I left her a $20 tip to help her change her attitude. I'll never go there again.

    Food was good but service was slow, our plates looked like the food server and almost dropped them as stuff was all disheveled on our plates, and the server didn't know what a kids sundae was. We stopped here while traveling and I imagine they stay in business because there is nothing else in Hays. It's not because of the service!

  • Markus T.

    This is the worst Applebee's I have been visit. The service was bad. The waitress gave the check in the middle of our lunch (worst than Chinese restaurant, at least they gave when we doing our dessert). She came back after few minutes, asking if the check ready for her (really??? Not even ask if we want dessert). Again, we were not even done eating!!!!

  • Ryan H.

    Poor service, under cooked food, and simple requests that can't be made. Not to mention my server let me in a tip that has just ruined Applebee's for me forever. I asked for no red peppers on my dish and he told me they couldn't do it because it comes prepackaged... Umm what? I might as well go over to Walmart across the way and go get a prepackaged freezer meal and take it home. However I'm not surprised because there veggies are never crunchy anyways so I'm assuming that they are frozen too. Also two times I have had undercooked burgers from here. Once, they middle was still frozen. Are you serious? I would not recommend going here. Try something local or what's left of local. If you are passing through, go to Gellas! It's like the 8th wonder of Kansas lol.

    I have never had a bad experience dining in the store. However, their car side service, or to go service, is very dissatisfying. It took more than 10 minutes to place my order via phone because the website does not allow customization on their food options, such as no tomatoes. After the ordeal of being on the phone, they gave me the wrong total. I went to the store to pick up my food and waited five minutes outside in my vehicle. No one came to greet me so I went inside. I stood inside for another 5 minutes before anyone bothered to say anything to me. Upon receiving my food, it was made incorrectly so I did not take the food home. Upon calling later to complain, the manager (Tom) handled my situation poorly. He was very rude on the phone. He offered to remake the food properly. My boyfriend went and picked up the food and brought it home, free of charge. However, the food was still made wrong. The food was good, which is the only reason this got 2 stars. I would give it a 2.5 but yelp won't let me. The hospitality and service is severely lacking with this applebees.

    Admittedly this is not a type of restaurant we'd go too often, one because it's not near where we live and two, it's not near where we live. We stopped off to get gas on our drive from Chitown to SF and as it was lunch time, we stopped off to get some food. There were a few restaurants/dining options but not wanting to overdose on fast food and have a sit down meal, this seemed like a good spot. Our waitress and hostess were both smiling and friendly which makes a remarkable difference to some places where they are downright gruffy. The food was par for the course, no Michelin stars but exactly what we wanted. Be careful of food coma if you have a long drive ahead!!

  • Austin A.

    Arrogant, obnoxious staff make this restaurant unpleasant. It is unfortunate because it is the only decent chain, besides ihop in this town. I went with friends and tried to order my usual menu items and they had changed them. The food was not up to regular Applebee's standards (and I have eaten in this chain in five states), when pointing this out to staff they were insolent to the point where my colleagues (there were four of us on a business dinner) decided not to go there again. I like a chain if they are consistent with their food and have decent service (they do not even have to be great, just average), but this killed it for me. The manager was ineffective and had to be called twice and it took half an hour to get him to come out of his office (after staff tried to use another waitstaff and say they were the manager). Strange and unpleasant experience.
