Don't know what's happened to this place, but the kitchen staff needs to be fired. Went there last week, ordered the Marsala Mushroom Sirloin 9oz. Medium Rare. Food came out, my wife's pasta dish was stone cold. My steak was raw in the middle, and the mushrooms were not cooked. It's like they had slapped the steak on the plate, pored sauce on it, then sliced cold uncooked mushrooms on top of that. Our waitress was very nice, and took our plates back to the kitchen. 20 minutes later, the food came back out. My wife's pasta dish was as hot as boiling water. They had completely redone my dish, but this time it was way over cooked and dry. Not to mention they stuck a 7 oz steak on the plate instead of the 9oz. I noticed there was a new manager. The time we went there before this, I ordered a steak and it came all fat and grissel. The manager back then, took my plate back, made sure a good steak delivered back to me, and took the whole thing off the bill with an apology. Now that was good service, but apparently no more.

I feel weird giving your typical Applebee's four stars, but there aren't a ton of options in Midland so this one is a go-to. It always seemed to be awesome as well, moreso than any other Applebee's I've been to. Who knows why that is, but this is a solid choice if you're ever in The City of Modern Explorers.

Typical Applebee's but compared to the bars and restaurants in the immediate area, it wins hands down. Rarely had a problem and when I did they were quick to fix it or accommodate me.

My sister, one of our friends, and myself all decided we would try Applebee's in Midland because usually it is always a safe choice. It was around 6PM so we only had a 15 minute wait which was not really bad. I honestly feel that because Applebee's has been around for so long and pretty much has become a permanent fixture in small town America that has given them reason to get cocky and just totally relax when it comes to their food. Our waitress brought my sister the wrong cocktail but seemed very apologetic, and that is ok I guess, but it really is not that hard to actually listen to what your customers are ordering....hey and you can even write it down if you do not trust yourself or your memory right? My sister and I decided to get the pick 2 for $20 and I ordered the Bourbon Street Chicken & Shrimp, which for the record looked amazing on the menu. When our food came a really creepy waiter says "WHO ORDERED THE BEST DISH IN THE HOUSE?" I raised my hand to let the server who kept staring at me the entire time we were at Applebee's hands me the plate and states "You should have ordered the Red Skin Mashed Potatoes" I had no idea that was even an option, guess our server totally forgot. So I looked down at the plate, actually a very dirty greasy cast ironed skillet with the smallest thinnest piece of chicken and the smallest shrimp I had ever seen. The cut up potatoes were actually very dry and looked like they were cooked probably 2 hours before we arrived....the entire plate was covered in grease and I was only able to take 2 bites of chicken, one shrimp and one potato before I decided it was not worth the grease that was going to be coating my stomach. Our server came up and asked if I wanted a box and I responded that I would never take this home with me...she did not seemed phased. What I found very funny is the other server claimed it was the "BEST MEAL IN THE HOUSE" I guess he has never eaten anywhere besides that greasy establishment. Six hours after eating my meal, I became violently ill, I truly feel I had food poisoning but never bothered to contact Applebee's, because I know the only thing the Manager would do is offer me a free meal at his establishment and I value my health more than a free greasy dinner. I would not recommend this dish to anyone. I do not want to say that everything Applebee's serves is bad, but I was very surprised on the quality of their Best Dish.

We have eaten here before, and food was pretty good. Today I ordered the usual item I order, Zesty Roma Chicken and Shrimp. When the food arrived, it was unedible. The cook had taken unseasoned tomato sauce and slathered it over the chicken and shrimp. The dish had absolutely no flavor, and literally made me nauseated. The manager took the dish away, and never offered to explain to me why it was made so poorly. The charge for the dish was taken off my bill, but it was a horrible experience. Service poor. Management poor. Food unedible.

Very pleasant atmosphere, with a lot of nice local touches and decor. We were shown to a table which was pretty noisy, but the staff cheerfuly moved us to a very nice and quieter table. But--our meals were pretty disappointing. One person complained that his chicken meal was very salty; I found the steak to be quite tough. We were hoping to make this our Go To place for a homey takeout meal... but Applebees definitely didn't cut it. When I've eaten at other Applebees locations, the food has been much better.

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.
